Delay Seen in Winchester
Sewer, Water Projects
,speeiol Dispatch TO The stor

WINCHESTER, Va, Dec. 13.-Al-
though local voters have approved
a proposal to issue water and sewer
extension bonds not exceeding $780,
600, city officials were told yesterday
by construction engineers that work
on the project cannot be started for
some time because, of material
shortages.
The city council, however, was ex-
pected to arrange for sale of the
bonds as soon as necessary details
can be arranged in order to take
advantage of current low interest
rates. Water and sewer extensions
were claimed necessary as result
of population growth and expansion
of manufacturing industries.

BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 13. - Gov.
O'Conor today proclaimed the war
emergency ended with regard to the
voting by mail law" an act which
will change Baltimore's primary
election date from March 4 to
April /.
The move was made at the sug-
gestion of Gov.-elect w. Preston
Lane, jr., who agreed that If the
election were held on a wartime
basis much of the campaigning
would conflict with the General As
sembly session.
The law abrogated several sec
tions of the election law providing
for registration and voting of per-
sons who were absent for military
duty.

Toll in New York Fire
Rises 10 21;; Hope for
IS Others Abandoned
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Weary
workers who dug the bodies OF
|21 persons from the wreckage OF
a collapsed tenement house in
slow, grim procession OF death
gave up hope today for the lives
of Is others believed buried
under tons of rubble.
AS the broken oody Of Rose Fucci,
49,. was carefully extricated from
the debris, police said they planned
to set three steam shovels to work
on the ruins of the building in which
more than 80 were injured. Workers
had previously carefully dug by hand
because they feared heavy machin-
cry would cause more crashes.
The building at isis Amsterdam
avenue in upper Manhattan, which
housed % families, was smashed
early yesterday by two-foot thick
wall of an adjoining ice house which
toppled on it after . five-alarm
fire In the ice house.
Shortly after aEn. today-nearly
"a hours after the building toppled
the bodies of a mother and two
children were removed from the
debris. One child still clutched a
gayly-wrapped Christmas package.
Mother, Three Daughters Found.
They we're identified as Mrs.
Elizabeth Biancardi. 81. and Joyce,
IL, and Lucille, 8. The body of
another Biancardi daughter, Mon
lea, 6, was removed several hours
later.
Timothy p. Guineen, assistant
fire chief in charge of the rescue
operations, said shortly afterward
he doubted that any one was left
alive in the wreckage. =
The icehousef blaze, which sta6teds
at about II pm. Wednesday, was
the second in the ice plant in few
hours. The earlier one, occurring
around S pm. was put out swiftly
by f1remen.
Two Boys Charged With Arson.
Two boys, Joseph McCabe, 13,
and Joseph Elio, 10, were arrested
last night and held as juvenile de-
linquents on arson charges in con-
nection with the earlier fire. TIL =
along with two other boys, HI
been questioned by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Jacob Grumet.
Fire Marshal Thomas P. Brophy,
in report to Mayor William
ODwyer, said the first fire was
caused by "mischievious boys
The disaster. Marshal Brophy re-
ported, was caused by weakening
Of roof booms" Of the ice plant by
the second blaze, which apparent
ly had been burning intensely for
some time before its discovery, re-
sulting in the roof caving in and
pushing out the north wall"
Twenty of the dead were resi-
dents of the tenement; the other
was fireman.
Chief Guineen expressed doubt
any further victims would be found
alive after police reported that res
cuers had heard no word after mid
might from Joseph Arigo, who had
been heard intermittently from the
debris throughout the evening. He
was the only one Of the occupants
definitely known to be still alive.

orably discharged, for gracious at
lection and kindly generosity, for
sadness met without surrender and
weakness endured without defeat.
Glory be to thee, o Lord most high
The body Of the great baseball
star was taken to the Cathedral
from the William r. Pumphrey
funeral home at 1857 Wisconsin ave-
nue., Bethesda, where 1t had lain in
state.
Nearly 1000 admirers and friends
were there between and 10 o'clock
last night. They were Of all ages
and types. Some among them had
seen him pitch his first big league
game against the Detroit Tigers on
August 2, 1907.
More had seen him come back
from two heart-breaking defeats to
win the seventh and clinching
game Of the 1924 World Series.
year he was voted into the Hall
of Fame at Cooperstown, N. Y.
But additional hundreds perhaps
had only a glimpse of the big
Train" during his days of ascend
ancy. Many were young people who
knew him by reputation-had heard
his feats recounted in awed tones by
their elders. All these-from Wash
ington, from Montgomery County,
from Virginia and from remote
places-filed slowly past the casket.
Teammates at Services.
Teammates Of Mr.. johnson. in
cluding the entire infield that sup
ported him during the World Series
of 1924-5, were here for the funeral
services and had gathered in the
office of President Clark Griffith
this morning to spin the endless
yarns that only ball players can
spin.
There were Herold Muddy" Ruel,
Mr.. Johnson's catcher; First Base
man Joe Judge, Second Baseman
Stanley "Bucky" Harris, Shortstop
Roger Peckinpaugh and Third Base
man Ossie Bluege - the all-star
group that helped the "Big Train"
win world championship in 1924.
Three of them, Bluege, Ruel and
Harris, are now big league managers
and Peckinpaugh Is former man
ager of the Cleveland Indians.
They recalled many an anecdote
on and of the diamond-some
whimsical, some humorous, some
touching. But always there was
feeling that they were the support
| ing cast that had come to bid fare
well to the greatest star of their
armament.
Clyde Milan Reminisces.
Mr.. Griffith sat at his desk with
the others grouped about him in a
semicircle. Clyde Milan, Mr.. john
sons roommate for Is years, who
few from Clarksville, Tex, recalled
the modesty, the fairness and the
sterling character of the man.
There were others-Pitchers Jack
Bentley and Tom zachary-as ready
as the next to concede Walter john
son the pitching championship OF
all time. He was man who not only
won his crown, but knew how to
wear it, they said.
The former old teammates who
had the sad duty of carrying
Barney to his final resting place
were Mr.. Judge, Sam Rice, Mr..
Bluege, Mr.. Ruel, Mr.. Peckinpaugh,
Mike Martin, Nick Altrock and Jim
Shaw.
These were listed among the hon
orary pallbearers:
Mr.. Griffith, Oren Atwood, Edward
|B. Eynon. jr.; Mr.. Harris, Jim Bland,
Lancelot Jacques, Harold Lloyd,
walter Bogley, Walter Dawson, Ford
Young, Garrett Whiteside. DR.. Ed

Those who participate represent
many economic backgrounds and

Democrat in a normally Republi-
can district and she believes voters
have the right to see, hear and
question their elected Representa-
tives.
Her technique has attracted wide
interest, but it is A logical method
for woman who often has demon
strated her belief In the effective
ness of bringing various groups to-
gether to talk over common prob
lens.
A good example of this is found
in the conferences of the Institute
of Women's Professional Relations
annually held here in the Capital
The institute was founded in 1929
by Mrs. Woodhouse and Mrs. Jou-

Women - where Mrs. Woodhouse

a number of years-and its princi-

Mrs. Woodhouse, who is man.
aging director Of the institute, also
has played prominent role in
many other organizations concerned
with public questions and the pro-
teSSlonal advancement of women.
She is a distinguished looking
person, with a highly intelligent
face and an air of dignity and
poise. She has calm gray eyes
and white hair, but her daughter
Margaret, who currently is serving

hair is misleading. The truest thing
