action Of the justices In selecting him
was possibly the feeling that his ex-
ecutive experience might be Of some
use.
Because the position carries with
1t no salary and is purely honorary, I
feel greatly honored at being asked
to serve" he said
Although 1t Is much too early to
think of policies yet, Dunkum said,
nevertheless he felt that loyalty to
the country should be fundamental
part of the instruction OF the chill

strive to teach above all else the truth.
Often Mistaken for Ballou.
Outside of Giligan, the new ap-
pointee, who lives at 1922 Colorado
avenue, has not met any Of the other
board members as yet. With a beard
very much like that Of DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, he looks great deal like the
superintendent, for whom he has a
great admiration. Commenting on
the resemblance, he chuckled: "Yes,
/ IL Oet LIT. bdliOu Has Oceu uctply
hurt at being called Dunkum several
times. I know have been mistaken
for him at least so times"
Dunkum told of one occasion when
he was accosted on street car by
a young woman who thanked him
profusely for all he had done for her.
Sensing mistaken identity, and not
wishing to take credit where 1t wasn't
due, he indicated there must be some
error, and that she probably did not
know who he was.
why, Dr. Ballou, would know you
anywhere" she stated with conviction.
When he succeeded in identifying
himself the young woman, teacher,
nearly tainted in her embarrassment,
he declared with chuckle
Declaring education Of the people
to be the most important task of the
Government, Dunkum insisted that
while he had no academic quAlifica-
tious for the board position, they

ANTIQUE DEALER
HERE KILLS SELF.
Paul CARRIER Ends Life With
Gun Because of Ill
Health.

Convinced he could never regain his
health, Paul Greenwood CARRIER, u.
well-known collector and dealer in
antiques, shot himself to death this
morning in the wash room OF his store
at 1910 Eighteenth street.
Shortly before the store was to open
at 9 am, Mr.. CARRIER came downstairs
from his living quarters above, wrote
two notes to his wife, Mrs. Margaret
CARRIER, and a brief message to the
porter, George Coates.
The last message Mr.. CARRIER left
on a table near the door, presumably
with the intention that Coates should
find it when he came to work. The
cryptic message said, "George-wash
room-police.
Mrs. CARRIER Finds Body.
Mrs. CARRIER, however, found her
husband. He was lying face down
on the wash room floor. She sum-
moned a physician, who pronounced
Mr.. Garder dead. He had been shot
near the heart by .32-caliber pistol.
which lay beside him.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
issued a certificate of suicide. DR..
Macdonald said the other notes ex-
pressed Mr.. Garber's despair OF re-
gaining his health and indicated
suicide.
Mr.. CARRIER went in business for
himself in 1911 after an earlier train
ing with two Washington department
stores. He collected and sold Oriental
rugs, old paintings, bric-a-brac and
curios Of many types, including
antique swords and pistols.
Mr.. CARRIER Is survived by son,
Paul E. CARRIER, curator OF aviation
at the Smithsonian Institution, and
daughter, Mrs. H. Newton Blue,
who lives at the Eighteenth street ad-
dress. Funeral arrangements have not
been completed.
Was Expert Appraiser.
Mr.. CARRIER was an expert appraiser
Of antiques, and his services often
were employed by wealthy collectors.
A native of Philadelphia, he had
lived in Washington most Of the time
since 1903. He was regarded as one
of the country's foremost authorities
on Oriental rugs.
After establishing his own business,
Mr.. CARRIER conducted antique shops
in several localities, moving into the
Eighteenth street store about Is years
ago.

here late yesterday as the Maryland
Legislature put the finishing touches

Local bettors can telephone wagers to

There was speculation today as to
whether Jimmy" La Fontaine's place,

District line in Prince Georges County,
will be licensed when the bill, II signed
by the Governor, becomes effective
June l.
An exodus of local gamblers to legal
territory in Maryland will be prevented
by provision in the measure requir-
ing five years of voting citizenship for
bookmakers and two years for their
employees.
Meanwhile, political and civic lead
ers in Prince Georges County today
expressed widely divergent views on
the effects of the legislation.
Consensus throughout the territory
Of some $4,000 citizens is that the
high license fee of 100000 will pre-
vent widespread legal operations by

Dunkum was aroused from q siesta
late yesterday by reporters informing
him he had been appointed by the
District Court justices to NIL out the
unexpired term of his friend Henry
Gilligan on the Board of Education.
The appointment is effective April 8,
and the press Immediately prodded
him with questions of policy.
1t was all very confusing to him,
Mr.. Dunkum said, especially since he
had declared to inquiring friends that
he was in no sense a candidate for
the position and the court had never
approached him on the subject.

Gilligan Pleased.
Informed that the 65-year-old bank
er was to be his successor, Gilligan
classed the appointment as ideal"
THE justices could not have made
a finer selection if they had gone over

he declared enthusiastically. He Is
a man of the finest character, thor
oughly interested in the welfare Of the
Capital and with keen insight into

many years and I can truthfully say
that both the District and the Board
of Education are to be congratulated
in having obtained his services"
Dunkum, leaning back in a chair
in the Masonic Temple last night, held
no such high opinion Of himself and
admitted that the appointment was
great surprise to him.
