Mrs. Johnson Says

Many persons today offered help

started to destroy a part OF her

Party and presented to the Federal
Government.

the artists plight, expressed the be-
lief she could be persuaded to &C
cept the offers, including the $1,000
rejected yesterday. He wired ac-
ceptance of the offer and planned to
start fund which would enable
Mrs. johnson to remain in her
home, 230 Maryland avenue Sc,
and continue her work
At Mr.. Blooms insistence. Mrs
johnson agreed not to destroy any
more of her marbles for the present
But she remains adamant in her
refusal to permit them to be re-
moved and stored if the eviction
proceedings are carried through

that with reference to several frame structures which are very much dilapidated and more or less aban- doned, situated in the heart of the business district of Juneau. That situation tends toward an increased rate for insurance protection, and a possible conflagration which might involve larger portion of the city.
 "A situation of this sort would not be tolerated in any fair-sized town or city in the States. Every city has protection through ade- quate condemnation laws which would give the authorities the right to condemn such property and have same wrecked or de- sroyed. It is our opinion that a lot on which such structures stand would be more valuable for parking purposes than in their present con- dition.
 No doubt. as the city grows there will be a change in laws and or dinances which will give the au- thorities proper power to exercise for public safety.
 Tn conclusion, we wish to state that we enjoyed our stay in Ju- neau very much and hope to make another visit in the near future"

CUBAN MENACE I5 GOING TO HURL
 FOR WASHINGTON
Pitcher Throws Overland, Three Quarter and
 Also Side Arm
By DILLON GRAHAM
AP Feature Sports Writer

AP Feature sports Writer ] ORLANDO, Fla, April 11.--Ale- i jandro Carrasquel, big South Am erican who can't speak English and has never seen a baseball game in this country, may be starting pit cher for the Washington Senators this season.
 The 6-foot-1, 190-pound husky, his face burned dark by the torrid tropical sun of Caracas, Venezuela, was discovered by Joe Cambria, Washington scout, in Havana.
 Carrasquel learned his baseball by observing the actions of Cuban players who toured South America Last year he had good season with a Cuban club. Cambria grabbed him.
 Argued With Uncle Sam
 The Washington club almost lost him before they got him. For Car rasquel had two weeks squabble with the immigration folks at Tampa before he was allowed entry.
 Although he has never seen any of the stars of the American game, Carrasquel has all the poise and polish on the mound of most any big-leaguer. He has good fast ball, a puzzling curve and excellent con- trol. He varies his deliveries, throw ing overland, three-quarter and side arm.
 Mike Gonzales, St. Louis Cardi- nal coach, is one of his boosters. Mike saw him play in Cuba and says he can win in the American league. Rumors down here say a Yankee scout was heading for Car rasquel but Cambria beat him to the punch.
 He Locks Aged
 Carrasquel says he is 27 But he looks a dozen years older. There's also something of mystery about his name. He says it is Alejandro .Carasquel, but Cambria says he should be called Alex Alejandro. Maybe Cambria is just taking pity on. sports writers, who are notorious ly poor spoilers.
 The Senators have two other Cu- ban pitchers, 6-foot-3 Roberto Ortiz and 5-foot-7 Rene Montegudo Mon teagudo won 19 and lost 10 for Tren- ton last year and may stick with Washington. Ortiz is perhaps the best prospect of the trio but he'll
