BALL BAT TERMED ‘HIDDEN’ WEAPON, OWNER FINED $50 A base ball bat and twelve-inch butcher knife constitute “con- cealed” weapons, in thé eyes of the United States branch of tho Police Court, so Willlam Quigley, colored, was fined $59 yeste-daf. Quigley was arrested early yes- terday by Policeman Burke of the seventh prgeinct station, on Wis- consin avenue. The negro ex- plained that he was helper on an ice wagon and had to report to work at an hour when few people are about. Fearing highwaymen, he carried the bat and knife for protection. Quigley had a good reputation and this alone saved him from being mentenced to six months in Jail, the usual penalty for carry- ing’ “concealed” weapons. Judge Robert Mattingly tried the case. TWO DRIVERS HURT AT ROCKVILLE FAIR Exciting Accident During Races—Horse Show Pre- miums Awarded. | Special Correspondence of The Star. ROCKVILLE. Md. August 25 Threatening weather interfered very seriously with the attendance at the fair today, but the fair, as a whole, has been a gratifying success. While the exact figures are not available, it is believed that both the aggregate attendance and receipts were con- siderably in excess of those of any former fair and that after all expenses are paid there will be a balance on the right side of the ledger. Races were the fule at the fair yes- terday afternoon. An ugly accident occurred in the first heat of the 225 pace. When about half of the distance had been traversed, Clifton L., driven by Ray L. Saunders of Suffolk, Va., and Jennie B. driven by Joseph Staton of Wilson. N. C., collided, and both horses and drivers were throw Saunders' left shoulder was fractured and he was otherwise badly hurt, and Staton was considerably bruised and shaken up. Saunders was removed to a Washington hospital. Neither horse was injured and both started in the other heats. Results of Races. The 2:25 trot was won in straight heats by Baby Ruth, and the 2:25 pace was also won in straight heats, Cnadilla Bell turning the trick. The free-for-all was captured by Un, al- though he dropped the fiPst heat to Marguerite, and had to hustle all the time to annex the other two. A mile run, which was won quite handily by Daddy; a eix-furlong sprint, which Mar Tom annexed after a hot finish with Kitty Johnson, and a_mule race, at half a mile. with eight starters, were alsoyon the aft- ernoon's program. Prominent in the big crowd at the fair yesterday afternoon were Sen- ator Joseph I. France and John W. Garrett, rival candidates for the re- publican nomination for the United States Senate, to succeed the for- mer; W. Cabell Bruce, candidate for the democratic senatorial nomination; Representative Frederick N. Zihiman® who is the republican candidate to succeed himself, and Andrew J. Cum- minge, candldate for the democratic congressional nomination. Imme- diately upon reaching the grounds, they Were taken in tow by friends and all spent a busy afternoon shak- ing hands with the man and woman voters. Three Washington dog fanciers car- ried away all honors in the alredale old bitches class at the fair dog 2 show. Mrs. R. H.

ANK OF COMMERCE AND SAVINGS ALLEYDWELLERS ALLOWED RESRTE Time for Vacating Homes Is Extended—14,000 District Residents Affected. The time in which the alley dwell- ers of Washington may continue to occupy their homes is extended under the terms of a bill ‘passed by the Senate late yesterday until June 1, 1923, Under existing law the alley dwell- ers would have had to vacate hy November 14 next. It has been esti- mated that upwards of 14,000 now live in alley dwellings. The District Commissioners have strongly urged the time for vacating the alleys be postponed until some further arrange- ments can be made for caring for these people, who would be made homeless on November 14. Every effort will be made to obtain action by the House on the bill passed by the Senate before the present session of Congress adjourns. The alley bill was called up in the Senate by Senator Jones of Washing- ton, a member of the District com- mittee. He said: “A short time before the war we passed legislation excluding the use of buildings in alleys in Washington as dwelling houses. take effect, however, for a certain time. The war came on, and from time to time conditions have required the extension of the time of going into effect of that act. It will go in- to effect either in October or Nov- >mber of this year, and conditlons are such that It seems desirable to give a little further extension of time. The committee on the District of Colum- bia has reported a bill extending the time until June, 1923. The chairman of the committee, the Senator from Deleware (Mr. Bail), asked me to try to get the bill through z possible, because it is ver: that action should be taken b, House before the present law g into effect. So I ask unamimous con- It was not tol THE village postmaster isarenown- ed gossip. By a peek now and then at a postcard he can tell lots of things about his fellow townsmen that said fellow townsmen wouldn't care to have spread about. But just how much of a gossip the village postmaster really is is exemplified at the Treasury Department every day. Folk from all over the United States are writing directly to the Treasury to purchase the latest issue of sav- ings certificates Instead of transact- ing the business through their local post offices, and the letters which ac- company the requests for certificates explain’ the purchasers’ unwillingness to trust the local postmaster, “be- cause he'll go spread it all over town that I'm buying bonds from the gov- ernment. One schoolmaster had a good rea- son, apparently, for not wanting the local postmaster to discuss his finan- cial affairs indiscriminately. He wrote the Treasury Department that If the school board knew he was buy- ing certificates he would get his sal- ary reduced. He asked Washington to_“Please keep it dark. The latest issue of certificates is selling fast. More than half a mil- worth of the “baby were s0ld over the counter at the Treasury Department last month. Folk Prom all over the world are buy ing them. “Requests have been from as far away as India, where Treasury epartment advertisements were seen in & well known weekly publication ed in this country.

Postal Assoclation Head Says Small Number in Outside Unions. A negligible number of post office clerks “are blindly following the leadership of outsiders and affiliating themselves with outside labor union: according to a statement today by C. P. Franciscus, president of the United National Association of Post Office Clerks, announcing their twen- ty-third annual convention at Buffalo, September 4 to 8. Mr. Franciscus referred to the re- cent circulation at the Boston post office of a circular by members of another postal clerks' association, in which it was stated that salaries of postal clerks would be reduced this winter. Gov. John H. Bartlett, first assist- ant postmaster general., asx related in The Star recently, replied at length to this allegation,” declaring that it was totally false. Mr. Franciscus, in a statement to- day, brands the circular as “a most ridiculous and at the same time most dangerous circular.” It is, he says. speaking to postal clerks, “a willful insult to vour intelligence and a re- flection on your self-respect.” MONTROSE QUARTET AIDS SALE OF BENEFIT TICKETS Will Give Concert With Members Clad as Fire Laddies for Police- Firemen’s Game. The Montrose Quartet, well known for its assistance in many charity drives, will again lend its aid this year to the police and firemen of this city in the selling of the base ball tickets for the benefit game Sep- tember 8.

GITTING on a pile of lumber near | the municipal wharves the other day was a young boy with his head | burled in a big watermelon. The boy's face was covered with the juice of the melon.

They want to show cane-seated chairs, stu ed crocodiles and pickled pears. They've just received a shipment fine of gherkins in imported brine.
