. \ \ BELL AND GRAHAM FAVOR BONDISSUE Commissioner and Trade Board Head Combat Dis- senting Citizens’ Bodies. Despite the action of the Citizens’ Association of Takoma, D. C., last night, indorsing the action « Pederation of Citizens’' Assoclations at 1ts last meeting opposing a bond ssue for the District of Columbia, ol. J. Franklin Bell, iissioner of the District, and E. C. Graham, president of the Washington ioard of Trade and president of the d of Education, expressed thery. welves In favor of such a project. Col. Bell said he favored a bond 10 for $10,000,000 for the purpose soquiring park and playground tes on a 50-50 b to be paid back t the ate of $600,000 a year. He feit that the Federal Government should pay half of such cost and the District the other ss himself as firmly convinced that a area was as much for the endants of citizens at large as s for the citizens of the District of Columbia. He said he couldn’t see that Congress would favor a general hond issue, but felt that if a specified bond issue was presented it would meet with favor. Low-Priced Land Availabls The land can be bought cheaper at present and a much better balanced playground program maintained. He said that land values were constantly increasing and with reference to school sites that in many cases the price of land had doubled and in some cases trebled. In speaking of the Public Utilities Commission he said it had accom- plished a great many things, but that with the new commission he expected bigger things. In this connection he paid tribute to Maj. W. E. Covell, who has played an important part in utility matters of value to the residents of the District. The school building program, Col. ell continued, was going along and he explained that the increased de- mands could not all be met out of the appropriations. The lack of appro- priations had delayed the improvement of many of the grounds surrounding the schools. More trees, he said, were being planted than formerly and he hoped for a larger appropriation from Congress this year. By way of ex- planation he stated that it cost each person 10 cents per day in the District in order to maintain the National Cap- ital and make it worth while. When o he first came here as District Com- missioner the annual appropriations, he said, were $24,000,000, while today they have mounted to $38,000,000. Lighting System Improved. Engineer Commissioner Bell re- ferred to the noticeable improvement in the lighting system in the down- town section, which is now being carried out on a 5-year basis and which may take from 10 to 12 years to complete. The new lights had a fine appearance and gave brilliant lighting and were being installed along with the traffic lights. He re- marked that it wouldn’'t be long before Washington would be one of the best lighted cities in the country. He also referred to the widening of the downtown streets, which had brought new life to many of these thoroughtares. While a great deal of paving had been done in the out- lying sections in the past, mot so much had been done during the past year. Reference to the many building projects being handled by the Dis- trict caused Col. Bell to say that the municipal architect had proved a most valuable assistant in preparing the plans for these structures. While the District was well started on the b-year program for schools, he stated that the people must remember that when Congress appropriates the money the municipal architect has the construction of all District struc- tures; that he has to prepare plans for all of them for the year, and that he could not be expected to get out the plans in the first six months. He said that over 4,000,000 bricks were being manufactured at Lorton for use of all District projects. Dougherty’s Brief Address. Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty referred briefly to the many problems before the Commissioners and pointed out the necessity for co-operation be- tween the citizens of the District and the Commissioners. He said the citi- zens, through the associations, had a £plendid opportunity to assist in Dis- trict matters, and as president of the board he invited them to help solve some of the problems. He referred to the proposal of the Government to purchase the land south of Pennsyl- vania avenue, and felt that the citi- zens should be interested in the fu- ture welfare of business interests and prope s who will be affected by the pur e of this land E. C. Graham alse expressed him- self in favor of a bond issue, and set forth his reasons why the proper kind of a bond issue would prove inval- uable to the citizens of the District He said: “We do not want a bond issue if the District has to pay the enure amount. I am interested in knowing who is going to pay that bond.” He spoke of the accumulation of defi- clencies during t - and felt that if & bond issue w tbe spre r a period of years and taken cut at the rate of $500,000 if the issue amounted to $1,000,000 or $2,000.000. He told his auditors that money would be saved in the long run end that it would not be a burden to the citizens of the District through this method Bonds on 20-Year Basis. ,M. A.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, January 4. — Dueling with rapiers, a favorite prewar pas- time of German student fraternities, has been declared unlawful by the Supreme Court of Leipzig which, up- holding the Federal Court's decision of last year, pronounces it “combat with deadly weapons. Consequently the recent_trial of the law student, Gerhard Kruschke, ac cused of causing the death of his ad- versary and friend, Walter Beer, in a duel, assumed unu ificance. Students with the characteristic facial scars thronged the courtroom and a number of medical and academical experts were subpoenaed. The proceedings revealed that Kruschke and Beer, who were friends, had fought a duel merely in a sport- ing spirit and that Kruschke's rapier had entered his opponent’s body be- tween the deranged quilted protector causing his death. The eminent surgeon, Prof. August Bier, and Prof. Zeller of the Char- lottenburg Polytechnic, testified that fencing with broadswords or rapiers was only another form of sport which they held to be even less dangerous than boxing. Notwithstanding: this, the court agreed with the prosecuting attorney, and sentenced the unlucky swordsman to five months’ imprison- ment in a fortress. ' Before the war, fortress imprison- ment was common for army officers, but generally considered something of a farce. For in the majority of in- stances the prisoner was well treated, dined and wined, often hobnobbing with the governor of the fortress.

Chinese Demonstrations Against Aliens Are of Long Standing. SAN FRANCISCO, January 4 (P).— The attack yesterday upon the British concession at Hankow is one of a long serieR of anti-foreign demonstrations of recent months in China. Ameri- can, British and French warships have been fired upon in the Yangtse River while protecting foreigners in the interior of China. The British have been the chief objects of attack. An incident at Wanhsien, far up the Yangtse, last September sharpened the hostility of the Chinese toward them. Forty Brit- ish naval men on a small boat went to the rescue of Britishers held pris- oner by Chinese northern soldiers on two British merchant vessels. They succeeded in taking off the captives despite heavy fire by the Chinese sal- diers. Twenty or more of the British were killed or wounded. | Many Chinese Killed.

Washington companies are challeng- ing similar laws of that State, how- ever, and their cases were called for argument today. These cases were brought to test out the right of States to impose such taxes, the argument being that they amount to tolls upon Federal-aided highways, which are prohibited by act of Congress.

He conferred with Ban Johnson, presi- dent of the league, and said he would go before Landis and prove his inno- cence. SAYS LANDIS KNEW. Former “Black Sox” Attorney Charges 01d Revelation. LOS ANGELES, January 4 (®).— Ray Cannon, Milwaukee attorney, who at one time represented base ball players dismissed following the ex- pose of the so called White Sox “scandal” in 1919, declared here to- day that Commissioner K. M. Landis knew back in 1922 that the Detroit Club, American League, had “thrown” games to Chicago in 1917, as charged recently by “Swede” Risberg, and re- fused to investigate it. was ~attorney Felsch, Charles for Oscar (Buck) berg in the Chicago Club after from base ball. - at Felsch told the ba: ball commissioner, Weaver later cor- roborating, that the Detroit Club de. liberately permitted Chicago to win seven games near the end of the sea son. Cannon said he asked Charles miskey to submit to an examina- tion to determine the status of the White Sox club, but that Comiskey declined. “At that time,” Cannon said, “‘Com- missioner Landis made the statement that the money interests in base ball were above reproach while only the players could enter into what was termed by Landis as ‘unlawful agree- ments. ““The present base ball muddle is nothing but a resurrection of facts that were brought out in the 1922 case, in which Felsch, Weaver and Risberg, who were represented by me, revealed the throwing of the 1917 games. At that time Ray Schalk, White Sox catcher, admitted that a fund existed, made up of donations of between $45 and $50 by Chicago players and which to be given to_Detroit club for losing.” During the investigation, Cannon quoted Schalk as saying that each member of the team contributed a like amount, adding “there was nothing crooked about it and I remember con- tributing $45 to it.” “Felsch, in a brief signed statement during that investigation,” Cannon said, “intimated that Charles nnd Louis Comiskey of the Chicago Club were cognizant of the transaction be- tween the Detroit and the Chicago clubs.

Phillips, who asserted he was the Intended victim of a conspiracy per- petrated by rival business interests so powerful “that influence that reached far as Washington had been used,” appeared in court here vesterday to oppose a motion to dis- charge bail bonds totaling $26,500 posted by four persons arrested on August 11, 1924, The four were Hattle Hagan, Mrs. Beatrice Johnstone, Anita Berg and Berg, jr.

Court Rules States Can Govern Carriers Within Regulations. By the Associatea Press. States may require interstate bus lines operating within their borders as common carriers to obtain permits and licenses, provided interstate com- merce is not restrained, the Supreme Court held vesterday in an appeal by the Interstate Busses Corporation of Connecticut against the Holyoke Street Rallway Co. of Massachusetts. In sustaining the Massachusetts regulation the court found the records in the case did not show whether in- terstate commerce had been restrained and that in the absence of satisfac- tory evidence on that subject the regu- lation could not be invalidated.

NEW YORK, Jamu acquisition of six mountain nyala— “the Queen of Sheba's antelope’—by the Abyssinian expedition of the Field Museum was announced today in a dispatch recefved from the party, now in the wilds of the Gugu Mountains of western Abyssinia. The accomplish- ment i3 the most important feat of its Kkind since the Roosevelt party brought skins of the ovis poli out of the Hymalayas. Only two museums’ in the world possess specimens of the rare animal. The Abyssinian party secured three bulls and three does within a few days after making camp near Mount Albasso in the Gugu Mountains. Hope to Get Fawn. When the dispatch was started back to clvilization members of the party hoped to secure a fawn ‘o complete a group for the Field Museum. Alfred M. Baliley, assistant to Dr. Wilfred Osgood, the leader of the e pedition, and Jack Baum, correspond- ent of The Star and North American Newspaper Alliance, were the first to obtain specimens, each bringing down a doe the day camp was made. The biggest bull secured, believed to be an unusually large specimen, stood 52 inches high at the flanks, with horns 30 inches long. Horns Lyre Shaped. The horns of the nyala twist back in a lyre-shaped curve, with semi- transparent tips of white polished b contact with the bush. The hide are a grayish buff, with white throats and a V-shaped white marking across the nose. A rough, heavy mane runs along the back from the head to the tail. The small herds from which the six animals were shot were found at altitudes of from 10,000 to 13,000 feet. The party also reported that it had been successful in acquiring. skins of many other animals and rare birds. (Copyright, 1927. by North American News- paper Alliance.) MUNCIE EDITOR’S APPEAL Man Convicted of Contempt of Court Fails to File Record of Case in Time. By the Associated Press. Because he had failed to furnish the records of his case in the lower courts within the time specified, the Supreme Court yesterday threw out the appeal of George R. Dale, the Muncie, Ind., editor, whose difficulties had included a conviction of contempt because of rublication of an article in his news- paper. Dale was charged with having vio- lated the State prohibition law and the article he published dealt with the prosecution of the case. Under the law an appellant must furnish the Supreme Court with a printed account of the case up to the time the appeal is made, and must pay for its compilation. The court in dis- missing the appeal merely said the rule had not been complied with. There was no oral opinion. Attorney General Gilliom of In- diana had urged that the appeal be dismissed on the ground that there was no Federal question raised, but this phase of the question was not passed on the court.
