Coast Guard Permission
To Install Barge In Slip
PRESIDENT OF CATO
SAYS KEY WEST-CUBA
TRIPS TO START in
DECEMBER

Acting City Manager Robert
Dopp today was trying to get in
touch with Coast Guard author
tiles in Miami to ascertain il
there would be any objection to
Gulf -Atlantlc Transportation Co
installing a barge $50 feet long
and 80 feet wide in the slip be-
tween the Clyde-Mallory and
Coast Guard docks here.
Dopp siad that III. G.. Williams,
president of CATO, which is. get
ting ready to start Key West
Havana automobile ferry serv-
ice, wants assurance that there
will be no objection to placing
the barge in The slip before this
docking plan is considered as a
definite possibility.
May Not Object
The slip is rs feet wide, Dopp
said, and the largest boat that
would enter would have but a
22-foot beam, leaving ample
clearance. He said that he did not
think the Coast Guard would
offer any objection to the plan.
Williams was in Key West Sat-
urday making an inspection of
docking facilities on the island.
The company at first planned to
use the P. & o, Company's pier
at the foot of Duval, but this plan
was abandoned when it was
found out that considerable
dredging would be necessary.
Ready In December
If the Coast Guard has no OBJ
lection, the barge will be placed
in the slip between the Clyde
Mallory and Coast Guard docks,
fronting the city aquarium. When
boats come in, it would be
brought alongside their stern by
a capstan and transfer of auto
mobiles to the barge would re-
quire only few minutes, it was
said.
When visiting in Key West
Saturday zNalIianis stated 'that<the
ferry service would be ready to-
begin operation in December. He
said that his company had al
ready obtained docking facilities
from the Cuban government.

Swamp Gang Graduates
Now Specialize Beating
Sailors, Wallace Says
ONE SAILOR MAULED
SEVERELY SATURDAY
NIGHT BY SEVEN MEM
BEERS OF GANG

Chief Deputy Sheriff Moreno
Wallace said today that he is
close on the trail of former MEM
bers of the Swamp Gang, whose
speciality now is beating up
sailors.
Three times sailors have been
attacked recently by members of
the gang, the last time on Satur-
day night.
Seven members of the gang,
Saturday night, "hopped" three
sailors, Chief Wallace said, near
the former Santaella cigar fac
tory. Two sailors ran away, but
the third one was severely beat
en-.
OveFtal1en, Mauled Again
Having escaped from the gang,
the sailor was overtaken again
on Flagler avenue. near Second
street, and mauled again. Seem
ingly not satisfied with their
brutality, with seven striking one
man, the gang gave the sailor a
third beating on Flagier avenue
near Thompson street.
His condition. was such. as he
was unable to return to his ship
on time. The shore patrol was
out looking for him, but it was
not till 8 o'clock Sunday morning
that he was able to reach the
Navy Yard and to tell what had
happened to him.
Meanwhile, Chief Wallace kept
up an all-night search for mem
bers of the gang. He said that
they now consider themselves
''too biggitty'' to congregate in
their old hideout in the man
groves at Peters Point, off the
foot of Bayview Park, where they
used to rig up catwalks to escape
from the police.
IL to 80 In Gang
Il don't know the exact num-
Der of the gang, but it ranges
from IL to 30" Chief Wallace ex-
planned. "Their average age is
about II years. Early at night
they congregate at Division and
White streets, looking for prey,
and, not finding any there, either
60 to Duval and Southland streets
or out on Flagler avenue in the
vicinity of First and Second
streets.
Thus far no reports have been
made of their having used fire
arms, though | have been inform
cd that two or three of them car
ny guns. Sheriff Sawyer and his
deputies are on their trail and are
going to stick to it till the gang
is broken up"

Babies Replace Movie Stars
In Cameraman's Lens
BY Rosalind Shaffer
Associated Press Stad Writer.

HOLLYWOOD.-One upon a time
there was young man who felt we'll
enough otherwise but didn't like to take
pictures of pretty film stars.
His name was John Reed and he was
a cameraman, taking still pictures of
Rita Hayworth, Jean Arthur, Irene
Dunno, Joan Blondell and others on
movie sets and in Columbia's portrait
gallery. With hundreds of men all
over the world eager for a job like
that, Mr.. Reed wanted to get out of it.
No, Mr.. Reed wasn't crazy-not un-
less it takes crazy man to gross a
million dollars year in his own photo
studio. For that's what he has been
doing since two years ago when he
dreamed up Photos by Susan and
began specializing in childrens pictures
Los Angeles was made visually and
tunefully aware of Photos by Susan"
for he exploited his new business with
pretty pictures everywhere and singing
commercials on the air.

ton and the Japanese puppet govern
ment are particularly valuable histori-
cally, since they show methods by which
the japanese imposed their rule on a
conquered people" Maj. Kimberly said.
"The Japanese kept complete records,
for an outstanding characteristic Of the
Jap is that he must write everything
down.
Among the interesting and valuable
records of the Japanese rule which
remain are those Of the Santo Tomas
internment camp, where number of
Washingtonians were held with other
Americans during the war. There Is a
complete set Of japanese orders issued
to the committee chosen by the inter-
nees," Mai. Kimberly said. "They show
how the Japanese rule grew stricter and
stricter."
The records Of the Dominican order,
to which the Santo Tomas monastery
and college belong, were undamaged.
The archbishop's records stored there
also remain intact.
Maj. Kimberly said the records of the
Jesuits, Franciscans and Recoletos were
destroyed. On the other hand, although
the Augustinian Monastery in the Intra-
muros was burned the church remained
comparatively undamaged and the rec
ords of the order were preserved.
Lone Survivor Emerges
From Fl. Santiago Ruins
The information on the Augustinian
records Mr.. Kimberly obtained from
Father Belarmino. librarian of the
monastery, and sole survivor of the
monks. In the general roundup of male
citizens, members of the religious COM
munity and many civil leaders were
imprisoned in Fort Santiago in the
1ntramuros. Before the japanese were
driven out, Maj. Kimberly said those
incarcerated in the fort were killed out
right or buried alive when the fort was
blown up. Three days later Father
Belarmino appeared, having dug him
self out Of the ruins with his fingers.
The records of the Spanish regime
are in the custody of the Division of
Archives of the National Library. Some
were stored in section of the Bilibid
Prison, where some of the interned
civilians and some prisoners of war
were kept.
Some of the Spanish records, dating
back to the 1500s, were in the Ayun-
tamiento in the Intramuros, which
housed the National Treasury and other
agencies. The building was partly
wrecked and some records were de-
stroyed, but just what they were will
not be known until a check is made.
Another repository for the Spanish
records was the attic of the Government
cold storage and ice plant. When the
japanese took over the plant, they
ordered the records cleared out. The
Filipinos moved them to Bilibid. The
cold storage plant was damaged by
our bombers and in the fighting, but the
records had been moved by then.
In Bilibid the records were piled on

The fairgrounds were short distance
to the northwest of Gallaudet College,
close to the Washington branch of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and per-
haps less than 1000 feet from the Old
Brentwood road. There we're quite a
number of buildings there at the time
of the opening, and more were sched-
uled to follow.
The main building was a one-story
brick structure surmounted by cupola,
the interior being painted in red, blue
and gold. 1t was 300 feet long and 100
feet wide, and the height from the
Over the north door or main entrance,
was a bandstand hanked on either side

There was an agricultural, hall, 200
by rs feet. The color scheme of the in
terror was dark brown, light gray and

One OF the principal features OF the
fair was the stock display. Gen. Grants
two Arabian horses attracted unusual
admiration, being in the charge of Maj.
j. K. Leavitt, an old turfman. They
were named, respectively, Lindentree
and Leopard. The latter was years
old and weighed 900 pounds. Linden
tree was 5 years old and weighed 75O
pounds. They were sort of gray in
color, unbroken and full of fire.
St. Julien Trotted
Exhibition Mile in 2:21H
The race track, according to The
Star, was completed on October II,
and II days later the fair was formally
opened. President Hayes, with his cab
met, partook of luncheon and witnessed
the races.
For several years, at least, some of
the best horses in the country raced
Evening star., 1946-03-31

The mile was made in :39A and the
mile and an eighth in 1:52A.
The grounds of the National Fair
Association, which included the Ivy City
race track, were sold at public auction
to James Lansburg for $500, and
since the tract included 125 acres the
price was a little more than $1,000 an
acre. On February 2, 1893, the track
was leased to a syndicate headed by
Tim Campbell of New York, member
of Congress. Racing was resumed by
the Ivy City Jockey Club and continued
for some years afterward.
Ivy City itself, which lies between
West Virginia and New York avenues
and about / mile north Of Florida ave-
nue., is today hardly identifiable,
although its streets still bear the orig
inal names. 1t was likely once a part
of Brentwood, later known as the Pat
terson tract, which at one time in
cluded Kendall Green, the country es-
tate of Amos Kendall, now the Columbia
Institute for the Deaf, founded by Mr..
Kendall. Nearby, on Delaware avenue
between M and N streets, once stood
one of Washington's earliest homes,
known as Casanave's mansion, also
known as NeIigan's. 1t was demol-
ished in 1908.
Although the Brentwood estate was
owned by Robert Brent, first Mayor
of Washington, from 1902 to 1911, and
who died on September 4, 1919, it is
unlikely that he built the mansion. 1t
was more likely erected in 1916 by his
son-in-law, Joseph Pearson. member
of Congress. The property later de-
scended through him to the Patterson
family. The mansion was destroyed by
fire.
The old tomb of the Brent family,
which stood some distance from the
mansion, was desecrated in 1915 by
vandals and some of the remains had
to be cremated, others were reinterred
in st. Johns Cemetery, Forest Glen, Md.

on this rack and crowds went there
and made and quickly lost fortunes
on the unreliable ponies. On October
6, 1880, ST. Julien trotted an exhibition
mile there in 2:2112 Later he made an
unsuccessful attempt to beat his
own time and went the mile in
2:23a4. This was considered a great
performance and the reasons assigned
for the failure to establish new record
were that the record previous made was
in summertime and that st. Julien
had but recently recovered from the
that time, which developed into quite
an epidemic.
Say what you will, automobile racing
will never take the place of race
between two thoroughbred horses. Take,
for instance, that great race back in
the summer of 1890 at Coney Island
between Tenny and Salvador. Maybe
some of the most ardent lovers Of horses
will remember this one in particular.
Salvador had beaten Tenny in race
the week before at Shepshead Bay and
a match race was arranged for June Is.
1t was race for blood and race for
$4,000, and, besides this, it was race
between two premier jockeys.
Leaving out all of the trimmings,
write-up of the time tells us:
"Tenny worked alone and had his
toilet completed at his stable near the
head of the stretch. Salvador worked
in company with Firenzi and acted as
if eager for the fray. The finishing
touches to fit him for the race were
given him in the paddock by Matt
Byrnes and his assistants. Then, with
Isaac Murphy in the saddle, Salvador
ambled up to the starting post before
Starter Caldwell had got there. Shortly
afterward Garrison rode Tenny down
past the grandstand and then up to
the point where the battle for $4,000
was to begin Both horses were &C
corded a most hearty reception from
the crowd, which seemed to be about
equally divided in its fancy.
Photo Finish Finds
Salvador in Lead
'The horses got away at the first
attempt on absolutely even terms and
Garrison at once sent Tenny out to the
front. There was deafening chorus
of cheers as they rushed past the grand
stand, with the great little horse in
front and fighting for his head. AS
Garrison held him in hand, however,
the little fellow showed that sulking
disposition of his and allowed Salvador
to go up to the front. In making
the first turn Murphy took advantage
of his opportunity and sent Salvador
along until he had secured the pole
and the lead. That position he never
gave up to the end
Garrison rode Tenny like a very
demon, but Murphy and Salvador would
not be caught. A couple of strokes
with the spurs, couple Of lashes with
the whip and Salvador managed to
get first past the judges, beating Tenny
by head only and an inflnitesimal
part of second in that remarkable
time OF 205 for mile and quarter"

a peak enrolment of more than 1000.
This is regarded as remarkable con-
than a quarter-century before, with a
curriculum restricted to high school
subjects and its enrolment at the pre-
war peak consisted of students slated
for places in the professional world.
In 1888, a Junior college was instituted
at Columbus and had reached an en-

the war intervened

He studied at Columbus while conduct

newspaperman. Mr.. Maher's experience
and his action in studying law while
pursuing another daily livelihood is
typical of thousands of Columbus grad
yates, Mr.. Hayden said.
The faculty of Columbus has included
many distinguished jurists. Chief Judge
Nathan Cayton of Municipal Court has
been member of the faculty for q
number of years. United States Attorney
Edward M. Curran was member of the
faculty while he was judge in Police

Gambrinus Reigned
On Large Beer Vat

Francis j. Adt, who had his plant on
the Navy Yard, led off with decorated
wagon displaying kegs of beer. Robert
Portner, perhaps better known to Wash
ington's thirsty, and who had his head
quarters on Virginia avenue S. W., be-
tween Sixth and Seventh Streets came
next in the procession. His wagon had
a large beer vat, on the top OF which
was a representation of King Gam
brinus, holding in his hand glass OF
lager. or as the public would call it to-
day beer" During the progress OF
the procession old Gambrinus went
through the motion of drinking to the
health of the people.
Another noted dispenser of liquid re-
freshments of that period was George
Juenemann, who had his Mount Vernon
Larger Beer Brewery and Pleasure
Garden on the block bounded by Fourth
and Fifth, E and F streets NE, where
now stands a modern high school.
Juenemann's wagon also displayed
monster vat. Christian Heurich, the
city's best known brewer, had six beer
wagons in the procession, Glasses were
handed to thirsty spectators along the
route.
Weber's Band was there in one Of
Adams express wagons Copeland's
awning wagon came next, and then
Kozel, another brewer; Reh. the paper
hanger; Gobel, pretzel baker; w. H.
Hoover, butcher; Carl Muellers candy

to Frank K. Ward, who sold milk for 5
cents quart. Drivers of these vehicles
kept up a continuous racket by inces-
sanity ringing the gongs with which
the wagons were equipped

Georgetown was well represented, as
we're Brightwood, Anacostia, Tenley-
town and other outlying sections with
their floats and displays, and the
chances are that many of those ap-
pointed on the committees for the
purpose of judging the displays took
part also in the parade. Their names
