HOME MOURNS
MISSING DOG

The household of Policeman H.
o. Tut, of the Fourth precinct,
is melancholy today.
First in degree of gloom are
twin sons, Homer and Joseph. two
years old, with their daddy, Priv.
ate Tut, and their mother, Mrs.
Tut, scarcely less glum.
It's all because Brownie, ten
year-old police dog of the family,
is missing for the first time since
he entered the home as a tiny
pup.
Tut took Brownie for a night
out yesterday at the home of
Louis ConSorti, 208 Fourth st.
S. w. During the night Brownie
leaped a high fence and went
AWOL. Private Tut, on his way
home from a nights duty, dis
covered his absence.
At the Tut house the twins
disconsolately cried for their pet
and Mrs. TuttA accustomed to
the vigilant protection of Brownie,
said:
What will I do without
Brownie to watch the house to-
night?"

PLEDGES TROTH
ON HER BIRTHDAY
Capitol Hill Secretary
To Wed F. H. Morhart

Miss Jane Walter, %, one of the
most popular blonde secretaries on
Capitol Hill, will have no difficulty
remembering yesterdays date
February Is.
1t was her birthday, and also
the da- she became engaged, ac-
cepting what associates in the Of
flee Of Senator Royal S. Copeland
of New York, where she is en-
ployed, described as a gorgeous"
ring.
1t was a Capitol Hill romance in
double sense, for her fiance is
29-year-old Frederick H. Morhart,
jr., who covers the Senate and
House for the Washington bureau
of the Indianapolis News.
HOW 1T STARTED
AS the Senate Committee on
Commerce, Of which Senator Cope
land is chairman, is directly across
the corridor from the Senate Press
Gallery, and Correspondent Nor
hart makes it a port of call in his
daily pursuit of news, the paths of
true love and professional profi-
cheney paralleled.
When Senator Copeland and the
Office staff learned of the engage
ment yesterday afternoon they
promptly arranged a surprise party
for the prospective bride. At 4:3o
she was asked to come over to the
Capitol from the Senate Office
Building. Arriving at the Com
merce Committee rooms, she
found herself the center of an i'm.
promptu celebration. Her fiance
stepped in from the press gallery,
the Senator smiled his broadest,
extended fatherly congratulations
and good time was had by all.
Both Miss Walter and Mr.. Nor.
hart are natives of Washington.
LEHIGH GRADUATE
Miss Walter lives with her bar
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert S. Wal
ter, at 43O2 Fessenden st. N. w.
Mr.. Walter, formerly headmaster
at Suavely preparatory school, is
now a Department of Commerce
official. The daughter attended
Washington schools.
Mr.. Morhart is the son of DR..
and Mrs. Frederick Morhart, of
1704 Sixteenth ST., with whom he
lives. He graduated from LehighI
University in 1881 and took gradu-
ate work in Latin-American af-
fairs at George Washington Uni
versity.

The dizzy wheel of fortune set
in motion by the associations
program of chain lists may still
be in motion but only about so
clients remain to be paid IS pay
ments left at headquarters for
them, it was said.
MANY PAID DIRECT
Under the plan winners could
receive their SIS contributions di-
rect from the co-signers of lists
on which their names appeared,
or the money could be left at
headquarters. Many of the win
ners collected without reporting
the extent of their gains to head
quarters.
Doors of the associations Of
fices, which were locked yester-
day after District Attorney David
Pine frowned on the enterprise,
remained closed today, but only
a handful of Clients" and curious
appeared before them.
WILL STAY CLOSED
Walter M. Shea, attorney for
the association, said he knew Of
no plans at present to reorganize
the scheme on basis that would
be satisfactory to the District at
torney's office.
It is estimated that approx
mately 10000 persons paid the
associations 95-cent entrance fee
to have their names placed on the
chain list in hopes Of winning
$640. For their 95 cents the clients
must be satisfied with a book prom
ising them 10 per cent discount
from merchants listed in it.
For 95 cents a clients name
was placed at the bottom of list
Of eight names. The client at
the top then was stricken from
the list and could hope for $640.
The client who then stepped into
first place on the list paid IS and
waited for another name to be
added at the bottom so he could
step off and wait for $640.
PLENTY OF FUN"
Most of the clients apparently
are accepting collapse of their
dreams with rueful good humor.
One pretty young woman said:
well, we got 95 cents worth
of fun out of it, just talking
about what we'd do with the
money. Even if I'd had to pay
IS I'd have been satisfied with
the fun we had at our office"

Last year Maryland fought

Of the unlimited representative.
However, Coach Miller states he
will be set for the Cards with
battlers in every division, and be.
lieves, regardless of the general
consensus, that the Terps cannot
hope more than tie. This means
that Joe Henderson, who won his
first start against Duke two weeks
ago, or Don Adams a promising
youngster, will be led against the
knockout dukes Of Mr.. La Fond S
ugly customer, Leo Katalinas.
During the past week, between
examination periods, Ivan Ned
omatsky and Mike Lombardo,
members Of last years Maryland
team, have been working out with
the Terp thumpers.
Maryland has fine team spirit,
high morale and expects to win
every time it goes to the post
tomorrow night. This alone gives
Maryland a fighting edge on the
Cards, who may be a bit just too
sure Of themselves, despite the
fact that the worst they will get
is a 4-4 draw decision.

Jesse James, light-heavyweight

tinelli In one hour, two and one
half minutes Of the feature match
at Turner Arena last night, Civ
ing him the right to retain the
golden belt that was the center Of
quite a fuss before the match.
The scant crowd favored Gino as
much as they did the chap. Both
of them are probably favored for
their lack Of obvious villany and
demonstration Of intricate rou-
tines. Maybe they should be adagio
dancers.
The finish came when one good
jolt flattened Gino and Jesse ap-
piled a body press.
A spectator came into the show
about three-fourthS Of the way
through the match, offering to
help untangle the legs Of the
partners. Benny Bortnick, who
had no remedy for the impasse
before, got peeved about this
and, after curtly declining the
proffered aid, yanked Jesse and
