It's intercollegiate boxing's big
night, all right-thiS despite the
Maryland Georgetown basketball
game which precedes the ring en-
gagement, and is no slouch of an
attraction in itself.
Which team will win?
If we all knew the answer to
that question, interest in tonight'S
bouts would not be anywhere near
so intense as it is. And, interest
in this C. U.-Maryland event is
really intense! One hears it dis
cussed on all sides. There are
arguments galore, and discussions
pro and con. There are promises
and threats: So-and-So will knock
out So-and-So; WhosiS will knock
WhatSiS for a row of ash cans.
Twas ever thus with the ring
worms-they fight every fight be-
forehand, and win 'em all!
Teams Well Coached
Spectators at tonight'S C. u
Maryland boxing meet will see two
beautifully coached teams in &C
tion. They will see boxers on each
team who know fundamentals.
Probably it's an odd thing to say,
but, as a matter of fact (and you
may ask either Heinie Miller or
Eddie LaFond about it), the col
lege coach of today spends more
time teaching a college boxer to
stop using wrong methods than he
does in teaching the same boxer
how to do right things.
Since both coaches, Miller, of
Maryland, and LaFond, of C. u,
teach their charges thusly, you will
see that few things are done
wrongly tonight; the boxers will
jab and hook going in, and will
right cross as opponents rush
them. True, they might not ex-
ecute blows perfectly, but they'll
not do wrong things. And, they'll
always try, which is the big thing.
Boxers wi o jab and hook going in,
and who right-crosS when rushed,
always offer the best in ring COM
petition.
Let's take a loo at this boxing
lineup COR tonight. Lest you do not
know it, boxing will commence
shortly after the Maryland George
town basketball game is completed,
which means that the first ring
bout should start along about $3.50
o'clock.

Family Aided
$40 Fee Is Returned
By Md. Firemen

The Bernard Cannon family
had two things to be thankful
for this morning. Edward Cannon,
28-year-old son who is critically i'll
in Emergency Hospital suffering
from broken back as the result
of a dive when in swimming at
Crystal Beach, Md, last Saturday,
was reported as having spent q
fair" night.
The Cannons received the $40
fee from the Annapolis Fire De-
partment they paid for carrying
Edward from the beach to Emerg-
ency Hospital. J. Albert Fisher,
secretary of the fire departments
committee, returned the
$40 when he learned it was part
of a grocery fund the CannoaS
were dependent on for food. Der.
nard, sole support of the family,
works for the WPA 48 hours q
month. There are four children.
They live in the 400 block Of Third
st. N. w.
The Washington times., 1937-08-06

Opening Of the new traffic vlo-
lation drive came as the result of
the death of the city's sixty-fourth
victim, 4-year-old Richard Levy,
and the wholesale roundup of the
vielators got under way shortly
before the child's body was laid to
rest in Adas Israel Cemetery.
Japanese Boy Hurt
Joe Tasaka, 9-year-old Japanese
boy of 1909 U st. N. W., suffered
bruises and minor cuts late yester-
day when struck by a truck at
Eleventh and U Streets Northwest
and was treated at Garfield Hos
pital.
Second of the children to be in
jured was 3-year-old Ruth Temple
of 1913 D st. S. E. who was treated
at Gallinger Hospital for scalp

LOOT RUNS HIGH
IN II ROBBERIES

Striking almost as a challenge
to the Police Departments efforts
to halt the crime wave in Wash
ington, thieves committed II rob
berries and holdups in the District
during the last "a hours, taking
cash and personal property valued
at more than $4,000.
The heaviest sufferer reported
was the exclusive dress shop OF
Mrs. Edna Wadnick, at 1889 Con.
necticut Ave: N. w., where thieves
took goods valued at $1,000.
An $500 diamond Stickpin was
stolen from the apartment of AL
bert Dunlap, 1901 Argonne Pl. N.
W., and at the home of Harvey
Strother, 1909 Ontario Rd. N. W.,
thieves got 5000 in cash.
Angelo Valltos, operator Of a
restaurant at 145 B st. S. E., told
police that his cash box contain
ing Sal was stolen from his es.
tablishment.
Among other cases reported

Japanese Embassy, which was
parked at Connecticut Avenue and
Tlden Street Northwest.
Radio and clothing from the
home Of DR.. L. A. Lock, 4215 Con-
necticut Ave. N. w., valued at $31.
Efforts to rifle the safe of the
Phelps and Roberts Auto Parts
Co., 1925 Fourteenth st. N. W., re-
suited only in damaging the COM
bination.
Meanwhile, the leave of all de-
tectives in Washington has been
cancelled. Many suspects have

CLARIFIED BILL
TO GUARD D. C.
ALLEY RIGHTS
Amendment Urged
To Protect Capital

Attempts to clarity the language
of the pending $726,000,000 Wag.
ner housing bill to include the Dis
trict were expected today to be re-
newed in both Senate and House.
in view of Alley Dwelling Author
ity allegations that might be con-
strued to exclude Washington
from its provisions.
The possibility that the courts
may hold that the District cannot
share in the benefits of the bill
was brought out by Maurice v.
Brooks, attorney for the ADA.
Wagner Confident
In the Senate, however, Senator
Robert F. Wagner CD of New
York, author of the bill, assured
Senate District leaders that the
bill specifically includes the Dis
trict, pointing to a section which
says:
"The term State includes the
States of the United States, the
District of Columbia, and the
Territories, dependencies and
possessions of the United
States"
Mr.. Brooks, however, declared
the District is not a State and
therefore a court may hold that
the law would not apply here.
In view of his fears, it is ex.
pected that Senator William H.
King Cd. of Utah, chairman Of
the Senate District Committee,
who tried yesterday specifically to
include the District, will make an
other attempt. It is also expected
that should be be unsuccessful in
the Senate, a similar attempt will
be made when the bill comes up in
the House.
Costs Question
Six national organizations, OPP
Grating here, yesterday requested
the Senate to reconsider it's action
in the Wagner bill, limiting the
cost of dwelling units to 81. 600.
The organizations cited statistics
attempting to prove that building
costs today average $1,447 per
room, which would make it impoS-
sible to build a four-room house
for the $4,000 provided in the
amendment to Senator Wagner'S
bill.

FRIDAY, AUG. 6, 1887
Seeing America Last By Helen Essu,y1

President Mckay, "but I do say it would be-
come the wife Of the President of the United
States to lead quiet life"
Next door to the Administration Building of
the Mormon Church is the lion house. A sculp-
tured lion is above its doorway.
Nine women who were kept sweetly in the
background of their common husbands career
once lived there.
Brigham Young almost fabulous leader of the
Latter Day Saints, was their lord and master.
Nine Wives Lived Happily
The nine wives of the lion house lived happily
together under one roof, At least so tradition
says.
On each side Of their house are 10 dormer
windows Between the windows, extending the
width Of the house on the third floor, are what
once were apartments for the wives and their
families. One apartment to each family.
On the first floor were the common kitchens
and dining rooms. On the second floor-one
large parlor. This room is almost as it was be-
tween the years of 1855 and 1877, when Brigham
Young lived here. At one end is an diversified
square piano. Perhaps the little Youngs prac-
tised their scales here.
At the other end is an odfaShioned organ.
Between are 10 rigid chairs. Book cases with
doors of solid wood line the walls. A portrait
of Brigham Young, full-bearded and uncompro-
mising hangs over the mantel. Across the hall
are the separate sitting rooms of each wife and
family.
The lion house is now used as social service
center. The relic room-with the rocking chair
where Brigham Young sat, his walking stick, the
portraits of some of the wives, pieces of his
clothes and his favored books-is popular spot
with tourists.
suspect that although polygamy is no longer
a tenet of the Latter Day Saints the male of
the species Mormon definitely dominates the
female. Yet the Mormon women generally look
happy.

Unfairness by the Police Trial

case, which was reopened recently
by the House District Committee,
Mr.. Bates declared:
"In reviewing evidence in the
Jordan case, I was amazed at

ment. If there was cause for re.
mOval of men for neglect of duty,
that was it,"
The policemen affected are Amos
