them by the King of 1raq.
In violent riots and Gripping strikes
the Nationalist are seeking a con-
stitution for their country and a
treaty with France which would free
1t of the French mandate.
More than score of Syrians were
killed in rioting and many wounded
No way out of the deadlock is in
sight.
Syrian aims are much like those
Of the Egyptian Nationalist, where
similar demands have been made or
the British authorities, although nc
mandate figures in Egypt.
Students have been in the fore
front of the riots. Hundreds have
been imprisoned and as many more
have been expelled from the Damascus
high schools and the Syrian Uni
versity.
Students forced the merchants to
continue the strikes which closed most
Of the stores.
The loss to business from the strikes
was estimated at $2,500,000 during
the three weeks ending February g.
Tourist trade was paralyzed.
Most of the merchants, conse-
quently. were anxious to END the
strikes, but they were afraid to re-
open their stores. Those who did
consider reopening changed their
minds when gasoline was sprayed
on one shop with a warning that a
match would be touched to it unless
the doors stayed shut.

LONDON, February 24.-Revela-
tions of a new type of bogus mar

The campaign was touched off by
Great Britain's first "gangster murder,
American style"-the Staying of Max

body was found on lonely heath near

But police investigation disclosed
that they had strictly home made

of Kassel, they learned that he was

They found that women entered
England with forged passports, or on
week end excursions, when no pass
ports are needed, and then, through
the medium of bridegroom agent, u
they had become British subjects and
so entitled to remain in England.
To evade the immigration laws
agents found "5-minute bridegrooms
picked up along the docks, on the
Thames embankment, or in cheap
hotels-who would go through the
marriage ceremony at a register Office
giving their names and British citizen
ship to the new arrivals at a price
ranging from $25 to $75 a head.
Invariably, the police found, the
men were down and out-only too GLAD
at the sudden windfall of cash in hano
and a new suit of clothes, given them
to make them look presentable, to &c
through the ceremony, and ask nc
questions.
Scotland Yard found that at least
30 men, mostly foreigners, were con.
ducting a big-scale business" in anc

into well over $5,0O0,0OO annually.

POLAR BEARS

It looks as though Washington
is in line for q chapter Of the

And if that charter does come
through, it will be because Of the
bravery-or "sumpin"-of Anne
Arnsen and Mac Levin, Of the

Club.
For yesterday Anne and Mac
welcomed the New Year by taking
q dip in the ice-filled waters OF
the Potomac. And the tempera-
ture of the waters stood at 81
degrees, which is just two above
the freezing mark.
In order to enjoy their dip-and
they really did seem to enjoy it
the police ice breaker cleared a
place where they might swim.
The Polar Bears Club was
started in Chicago several years
ago. To belong to this exclusive
organization in that city, you must
take a New Year dip in the waters
Of Lake Michigan, which are just
about the same temperature as
those Of the Potomac at this time

MYSTERY
WILL REMAIN
UNS0LVED
Decision Not to Dredee
Patuxent Leaves War
Legend In Doubt

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Jan.
with Government engineers
reporting adversely on reopening
the channel of the once CONNER
cially-busy Patuxent River, one Of
its historical mysteries Is to re-
main unSolved.
The mystery concerns Commo-
dore Joshua Barney's efforts to
keep the British forces from land
ing close to Washington while
they were VIGOROUSLY fighting
their way to the Nations Capital
during the War of 1872.
Although tales Of the incident
vary, Patuxent River people give
most credence to the following
story:
Commodore Barney's duty was
to protect the waters Ut the
Chesapeake Bay against Lord
Cockburn and his forces. Retreat
ing before the British, the COM
modore was backed up to a point
where the Marlboro Pike now
crosses the Patuxent. named Hills
Bridge.
Sunk Boats In River
To stop the British, the Amer1-
can ordered that boats be sunk
across the channel at ScotSman's
Hole. One story. which dredging
the channel would verify, is that
a British boat was sunk also. The
entire incident was Inflated for the
commodore, and he was later
wounded in aiding the defense OF
the Capital with General Windsor.
After the war souvenir hunters
stripped the Sunken boats of,what
was easily obtainable. other parts
were raised with derricks and
taken to the Baltimore Exposition
several decades ago.
River people insist, however,
that at low water the outline Of a
ships timber is visible in the
water. Whether it is the British
ship or a part Of the Scorpion, OF
the commodore's fleet, is a moot
question.
To Remain UnsOIved
Commercial boats of that
period, plying between the bay
and Baltimore. avoided the
obstruction and no official effort
was made to settle the differences
of opinion.
