Red Card Broadcast

An agreement between all major

on each her'sSterritory in broad
casting ball games was the reason
given today for protests which re-
suited in the sudden termination of
the broadcast of the double header
between the Cincinnati Reds and the

Bethesda Volunteer
Firemen Charge
False Arrests
File Four $1,000
Damage Suits in Row
Between Factions

The controversy between the Be-
thesda (MdD Fire Board and the
volunteer faction headed by Samuel
T. Robertson took a new turn today
with the filing of four IS 900 dam
age suits alleging false arrest, three
naming as defendant the Bethesda
Fire Department, Inc, and the
fourth citing its president, George
w. Bryan.
The suits are the aftermath of the
trial of Mr.. Robertson, Hiram B.
Musgrove, former volunteer fire
chief, and Robert Fremeau, in Be-
thesda Police Court, September Is
before Justice Of the Peace James C
Christopher on charges of trespass-
ing on fire department property the
night of August %. AL three de-
PENDANTS were acquitted of the
charges, which were sworn to by Mr.
Bryan after the volunteers had held
a meeting in the fire house.
In the complaints, filed today by
Attorney James H. Pugh, the fire
department is named in suits filed
by all three defendants in the tres
passing suits. Mr.. Bryan is named
by Mr.. Robertson in the fourth suit
but as an individual and not as
president of the Fire Board.
The plaintiffs charge that the

pointed out that adequate remedy
was available in a civil suit to en-.
force the boards action in denying
privileges of the fire house to the
three defendants.

Navy Yard Workers
Lose Parking Space

Approximately 425 Navy Yard
employees will lose their permits for
parking inside of the grounds, it
was learned today, to provide space
for the new central Office and draft
ing building, construction of which
starts tomorrow.
1t. Hepburn Pearse of the office in
charge of the Navy Yard grounds,
said the space formerly allotted to
parking purposes would be the site
of the new building. He said a sur
vey showed that there was no addi-
tional space for such parking, hence
the taking up of the passes.
The passes were expected to be
recalled today, it was said.
The new project is to cost approx
imately $125.000, according to the
1910 budget appropriation, and is
to be flve-story building, 23O feet
by $50 feet. Foundations will be
started tomorrow by the Ross En-
gineering Co. of Washington at an
approximate cost of $4,000.

Two "airplane shuttle" big game
hunters were back home in the Dis

tion that included successful moose
and bear hunting in primitive Can

for air-minded sportsmen are Will
liam H. Limerick, 33-year old filling
station proprietor of 5000 Benning

year-old Capitol Heights (Md.) bak-
cry employe.
The first and last 1850 miles-to

the Northland Moose Camps took

Planes of the Canadian Airways,

Proposals 10 Better
New Armory Made
By Commission
D. c. Heads and Guard
OfficioIs Take Plans
Under Amusement

The District Commissioners and
District National Guard officials to-
day were studying proposals by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission designed to improve
efficiency of the new armory to be
placed at the end of East Capitol
street.
The commission outlined in a let
ter suggestions of ways the building,
in the light of additional study.
might be better fitted to serve both
military and community uses. The
commission approved preliminary
studies for the armory at its 1Ast
meeting and since that time has
gone into the matter IN more detail.
Principal suggestion is that provi-
sion should be made for more seat
ing facilities in the central drill hall
Tentative plans call for a capacity
of 5000 on the central floor. where
movable seats would be used, and an
additional 1000 in balcony.
The commission believes that when
the drill floor is being used for in
door events balcony seating capac-
ity of 1000 would not be sufficient.
Therefore. it suggested that provi-
sion be made for a second balcony,
If and when additional funds are
available, and an arrangement for
continuing the first balcony down
to the level of the drill floor.
The commission also proposed
that division walls be arranged in
the basement so that construction of
tunnel to the north side of East
Capitol street may connect with
stadium proposed for this site.
A further proposal is that the
floor of the drill hall be of earth,
preferably mixture of clay. OK blood
and salt, such as is used in riding
arenas. so the hall will be more
adaptable for a wide range of ac-
tivities.
The commission letter, signed by
Frederic A. Delano, chairman. sets
forth that the suggestions followed
conferences with Lewis r. Barrett,
recreation director for the District,
and recreation officials of the Ma
tional Park Service.

A manhole coverphile is busy In

Thanks to the aviator scouts, who

men have only themselves to blame
if they fail to bring. back moose
and bear, according to Mr.. Limerick.
And neither Mr.. Limerick, with five
previous Canadian big game hunts
to his credit, nor Mr. Barry have
any cause to blame any one, in
cluding themselves. Mr.. Limerick
added two huge moose heads and
three brown bear skin rugs to his
already fulsome collection, and Mr..
Barry is off to a flying start with
one moose head and one bear pelt.
During the hunt Mr.. LimeriIk
saw a combat between two bull
moose. One medium sized bull, ac-
companied by two females, somehow
took fancy to a companion of
a giant bull In the horn-locking
and butting fest that followed, Mr..
Limerick asserted, the little fellow
outlasted his larger foe, showed him
into lake and walked off with
his cow-and the two others already
in the smaller moose's harem.

Glenn Dale
Surgeon Post
Considered
tuberculosis Advisory
Committee Confers
With RuhIund

Appointment of resident surgeon
at the District tuberculosis Sana-
torium at Glenn Dale, Md, appeared
today as a possible alternative to
the current policy of Health Officer
George G. Ruhland, which directs
that major operation cases be trans
ferred from that institution to Gal
linger Municipal Hospital.
Considerable discussion Of the
transfer of such cases to the city
institution has developed since it
was revealed last week that the
new policy had been invoked. DR..
Ruhland argued the rule was neces-
sary since there was no surgeon on
duty at Glenn Dale to conduct the
essential followup attention to the
patients.
On the other hand, it has been
argued that Glenn Dale has operat-
ing facilities that cost some $4,000,
these being regarded as among the
finest in the District.
Committee Confers With Rutland.
Possibilities of placing a qualified
surgeon on the Glenn Dale resident
staff was discussed yesterday at a
meeting between DR.. Rutland and
his tuberculosis Advisory Commit
tee, it was reported.
Applicant Interviewed.
One applicant for resident sur
geon's post at Glenn Dale, 1t is re-
ported, already has been interviewed
by Dr. Rutland. He is said to be
graduate of the University of Roch-
ester, who has specialized in surgery,
especially chest surgery.
There now is vacancy in a So. 300
Job at Glenn Dale. This arises by
reason of the change in administra-
tion, approved by Congress at the
past session, providing for appoint
ment of a tuberculosis consultant
at Glenn Dale, a position held by
DR.. j. Winthrop Peabody, former
superintendent of the institution. DR..
Daniel Leo Finucane, former as
sistant superintendent, thereafter
was named superintendent. This
created other promotions down the
line and. it is said, $1,000 is available
for a new appointee.
May Write School Board.
There was no formal statement
from DR.. Rutland as to the results

Mr.. Ocampo said.
He suggested that the only avenue
of escape from dampness would be
q return to the ancient habit Of
