R DISTRICT PROBES 't BRICK CONTRACTS, {B% AFTER COMPLAINTS * (Continued from First Page.) tractors for use in buildings being erected for the District government under contract. We demand of the contractor that he furnish brick suit- able for the purpose and satisfactory to the District government. The con- tractor will naturally secure his brick from the manufacturer who can fur- nish a satisfactory and acceptable article at the lowest price. The ques- tion is, therefore, primarily one be- tween the Hydraulic Press Brick Co. and the various contractors or pro- spective bidders on building work. Factors in Deciding. “In deciding upon the kind of brick to be used in any public building, quality, appearance and price must be | col After considerable study of ‘the matter, the municipal architect has determined that face brick suita- ble and satisfactory can, in the gen- Balky Cow Causes Court to Wait as Owner Milks Her By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Pres CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 23. —*“Baby Smith, center of a court tangle over whether it was the baby born to Mrs. Sam_ Smith, today was “Georgia Smith.” When the baby was born August 22 at Fairview Park Hospital, it was named ‘‘George.” Then several days later when hospital officials handed Mrs. Smith a girl baby telling her it was hers, a habeas corpus action was started in Common Pleas Court asking that hospital officials turn over to the Smiths a baby boy. The court, however, ruled yesterday a daughter had been born and not a son. Then a name must be found. Since “George” had been given to the “son” they thought noth- ing better than “Georgia” could be found for the daughter. So Georgla, it is. The doubt that clouded her identity was dispelled legally by Common Pleas Judge Carl V. Weygandt yesterday, but it still existed in the minds of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Smith when they went home with the infant in their care. Affairs “Jumbled” at Hospital. There was a jumble of affairs at the hospital and the tangle likely resulted from the mistaken idea of an attend- ing nurse, who was under emotional stress at the time of the birth, that the baby was a boy, Judge Weygant ruled. When Judge Weygandt decided that the infant girl was hers, Mrs. Smith became hysterical and wept bitterly as though she had hoped the Jjudge would surely find her boy somewhere and return him to her. Scores of fa- thers and mothers in the court room, wiping tears from their eyes, offered their sympathy to the heartbroken woman. Some of them offered to take the baby girl and care for her. Disputed Child Accepted. Mrs. Smith became composed and with her husband went to the hospital to get the disputed child. She wrapped her in a big warm blanket and they started home. On the way they stopped to gather their four children, Angeline, Viola, Mary and Peter, Whom they had left in the care of a relative while Mrs. Smith was in the hospital. \!‘iyhen they arrived home Mrs. Smith nursed the baby, procured another blanket and put her to sleep in the lit- eral case, be secured at a price of around $26 per thousand. A price much less than this figure generally means unsatisfactory brick; a price much in excess of this means brick that are unnecessarily expensive and would increase the cost of the building to an unjustified degree. “In connection with the study of this question, bids for several build- ings were advertised with the require- ment that the face brick should, not «cost more than $26 per thousand, and contractors were required to submit samples of brick for the various build- ings with this understanding. From the brick submitted for this particular group of buildings. certain ones were ! selected as those which were best suited to the purpose and were estab- lished as standard. Other brick have been from time to time added to the list and any manufacturer is always ‘welcome to submit samples for exam- ination with a view to their being included in the standard list. Several Samples Submitted. “The Hydraulic Press Brick Co. has submitted several samples for con- sideration. These samples have been carefully examined and compared with approved samples, and it has been found that thosé which were offered at the same price as the approved samples were inferior, while those ‘Wwhich were satisfactory in quality and appearance were quoted at a higher price. One sample submitted by the Hydraulic Press Brick Co., known as their ‘Homewood Colonial,’ was ac- cepted as satisfactory, and was speci- fied along with three other makes in the case of the McKinley School, with the stipulation that any one of the approved samples should be satisfac- tory. In this case the contractor did not adopt the ‘Homewood Colonial’ brick, but bought their brick from some other manufacturer. “It is, of course, immaterial to this office how much the contractor pays for his brick, so long as his unit price for brick work and his total contract price do not run above what we con- sider to he a reasonable and permis- sible figure. The only reason for the fixing of the standard price of $26 per thousand, is that we have found that suitable and satisfactory brick can be secured for this price, and that Lrick offered for less is not generally satisfactory. If the Hydraulic Press Brick Co. can furnish suitable brick at a price which the building con- tractor is willing to pay, this office will pleased to see them get the busi- ness.” Harris Reports to Atkins. Subsequent to Commissioner La- due’s answer to Mr. Mo Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris made a re- port to Maj. L. E. Atkins, Assistant Engineer Commissioner, in which he sald that the Hydraulic Co. had sub- mitted a number of samples for con sideration at a price of $26 a thousand, but that in his judgment the bricks were not comparable in color, texture and finish to those furnished by other concerns. *‘As the bricks for the District build- are selected as to the best we are able to get for the price we are able 10 pay,” he declared, “and as the Hy- draulic Pressed Brick Co. has never been able to meet both price and qual- 4ty, they have been unable to secure work from the District Mr. Stringer and Mr. Clark, together with Roger J. Whitford, attorney for the former, are planning a conference with the Commisisoners, at which they intend to discuss further the brick contract awards. L. P. Summers Paroled. 'A, Ga., September 23 .

The other children stood around wide-eyed, admiring and welcomnig their new sister. Peter, who previously whas the baby of the family, saw the infant get off to sleep in his crib and he had to be consoled by sleeping with Angeline and Viola. “It was the sporting thing to do—to :ake in the baby girl,” Sam Smith said. “We brought it home because we didn’t want to leave it on the hospi- tal's hands. But we still are not sat- isfled that she is ours. We brought her home and we'll keep her and care for her.” Mrs. Smith had very little to say. Her husband said they would try to give the baby the same love and affec- tion they tendered their other chil- dren, No Definite Proof Established. All the resources of science and medicine and Jaw were resorted to in an effort to determine the parentage of the infant girl, but' no definite proof could be established. Blood tests were abandoned as useless. Dr. W. B. Glendening, a child specialist, made physical examinations of the entire Smith family and found com- mon characteristics which seemed to show that Baby Smith was with his right parents. 'His evidence, however, was only sufficient to form a strong opinion, he said. Mrs. Smith’s appearance in court yesterday marked the first time she had left the hospital since August 22, when her baby was born. Nurses and doctors were witnesses for the hos- pital. ~ All testified that an error had been made in informing the parents at first that their child was a boy.

SPOKANE, Wash., September 23.— With approximately 100 airplanes on Felts Field, including prize winners of the national air derbies, Spokane turned its attention today to the open- ing events of the seventh annual na- tional air races and parachute con- tests. ‘The fifth and most featured national air derby, a non-stop race from New York to Spokane, fizzled yesterday when both entrles, Eddie Stinson and A. C. “Duke” Schiller, landed in Montana, and the race was declared no contest. $7,500 in Prizes at Stake. Prizes totaling $7,500 and nu- merous trophies were at stake in three commercial plane and two mili- tary events, in which several derby victors were entered. Races today included one of 120 miles, two of 100 miles, two of 80 miles and one of 36 miles. Among entrants in the commercial plane races were C. W. Holman, St. 3. E. Ballough, Chicago; N. B. Mamer, Spokane,.and John P. Wood, Waugau, Wis., who won first to fourth places, respectively, in the class A New York-to-Spokane derby. C. W. Meyers, unofticial winner of the New York-to-Spokane class B derby. was entered in two races. Although the air races attracted most attention, air stunts and the ex- pected arrival of Stinson’s big mono- plane also held interest. Stinson ar- rived here in another plane after leav- ing his ship at Missoula, where he was forced down by engine trouble. The ship was to be repaired and brought here today. Stinson said he might have been able to have reached his goal. Twice during the transcontinental flight in company with Fred Koehler, his re- lief pilot, Stinson flew for several hours nursing a bothersome motor. The second time he decided to turn back and land at Missoula rather than take the chance of being forced to come down in the mountain fast- nesses, where a_ safe descent would have been difficult and where the use of their parachutes might have cost the flyers their lives. “Could you have made it?" he was asked. *Oh, yes,” he replied. “I had plenty of altitude. But I didn’t want to take a chance on my motor going back on and Sweden that the problem of alco- holism be seriously studied by a spe- cial committee to be appointed by the Council was adopted unanimously to- day by the Assembly of the League of Nations.

Belated Arrivals' Due. The belated arrivals of entrants in the class A and B New York-to- Spokane race were expected today. Tex Rankin of Portland, Oreg., class A, and M. H. McMechan of Yakima, class B, advised derby officials they ‘would leave Montana today for Spo- kane. All other transcontinental and coast entrants had arrived or drop- ped out of the races. Four of today’s five events will be lown around a ten-mile course, with the shortest race taking a six-mile course. . Prizes. of . $2500 will be awarded in each of the three com- mercial events. Because of service regulations entrants in the two mili- tary events can compete for trophies only.

The legation also reported a second attack September 22 by bandits on the Marine and Nicaraguan garrison of the town of Telpaneca, where one Ma- rine was killed outright and another fatally wounded a few days ago. The bandits were driven off the second time without losses to the Marines.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, Treasury to Fight McCarl's Veto of Using[ U. S. Funds in Commercial Broadcasting The Treasury Department is plan- ning to lodge .a rigorous protest with Controller General McCarl against the Controller’s decision that the Treasury should not .use-public funds to pay for commercial broadcasting of Treas- ury fiscal announcements. McCarl, while approving a recent bill of more than $5,000 for a big broadcasting through a chain of sta- tions by the Treasury, warned that turther expenditures of this kind ! would not be approved by him.

Fisher of Pennsylvania, who was one of President Coolidge’s callers today, after an extensive trip through the West and Middle West, is of the opinion that the country has not reached any decision in attempts to crystallize sentiment for any one of the several candidates for the Repub- lican nomination for President. The Pennsylvania executive believes that the fleld is “‘wide open” and that the country at large is busy weighing the capabilities of the various candl dates. There is considerable sentiment for President Coolidge, Gov. Fisher said, but, he personally is convinced that the President has not the slightest de- sire to be a candidate and that he does not care to have any one work up sen- timent in bis behalf. Invited to Dedication. The object of Gov. Fisher's call at the Wihte House was primarily to in- vite the President to the dedication of the statue to Gen. Meade, the hero of Gettysburg, in the United States Bo- tonic Garden, October 19, and to at- tend the sesquicentennial of the meet- ing of the Continental Congress at York, Pa., October 13. He was accom- panied to the White House by Secre- tary of the Treasury Mellon and J. Blain Sutton of Pennsylvania. ‘While Gov. Fisher was willing to discuss his political observations with newspaper men after his conference with the President, he stated that the most striking thing of his entire trip through the West was the noticeable lack of a real demand from the people in the farm sections for the McNary- Haugen farm relief bill. Sees Demand Lacking. “There is, of course, some talk in the West about the McNary-Haugen bill,” he declared, “but the fact is that most of that talk is among the active politicians and political farmers. The farmers themselves are not bothering about this farm relief proposal. All they want is for crops to materialize, present prices to keep their level and then to rid themselves of the burden of mortgages. That is really what the farmers are interested in. It is only the politiclans who are still advocat- ing the McNary-Haugen bill and who are agitating in favor of extending farm relief by legislation.” e said he was impressed by the fact that the West is not overly in- terested at this time in presidential probabilities. Since returning East he finds that much the same situation prevails. He contends that it is too early to make predictions. He stated that there is very little talk in Penn- -‘y.l:mh. about presidential possibili- ties. —_— U. S.

Never before in world sporting his- tory have two Individuals been the cynosure of eyes and ears as they were last night, for not only was the biggest crowd in fight history gath- ered in the big stadium, but its story was carried over the greatest Asso- ciated Press wire hook-up to all parts of the country and its vivid detalls broadcast to an estimated 50,000,000 listeners in all parts of the world by a record-smashing chain of radio stations. Points for Argument. Those who saw the battle and those who listened and perhaps got a bet- ter idea of what was going on than thousands inside the arena will argue themselves hoarse for some time to come over that seventh round, over Tunney’s narrow escape from defeat and Dempsey’s great bid for a knock- out victory and the greatest glory of his colorful career. They know how Tunney, the master boxer, piled up a big early margin on points and how the issue really was decided by his slashing. three-round finish, but the debate wiil swirl fiercest around what may become the most famous “long count” in boxing history. It was a strange trick of fate for Dempsey to see his big shot fall short in this fashion, for it was four years ago, in his famous slugging match with Luis Angel Firpo, that the Man- assa Mauler saved his title through a similar “break.” In the first round of that epic struggle, Dempsey, after knocking down the giant Argentine saven times, was sent hurtling through the ropes by a right hand smash to the jaw. Down and out of the ring the champion tumbled, but it took what many observers declared to be a “long count,” plus the shoves of newspaper men to get Dempsey back into the ring, dizzy and shaky, before “10" had been reached. Famous Seventh Roynd. Then, was the case last night, the drama of conflict was about the near-downfall of the king. And here was how last night’s vivid scene un- folded itself in the now-famous seventh round: Dempsey, nearly always the aggres- sor, plunging and bobbing, suddenly caught the champion off guard by shifting his attack from the body to the jaw. A long righthand smash to the jaw sent Tunney to the ropes, dazed and sagging: a left hook, with the old Dempsey viclousness behind HORN AND ORUTT N EOLFERS FAL Vigtors Today Will Play {or U. S.

Tunney was too jarred to know ex- actly what had happened at first, but in a few seconds his inclination seem- ed te-be to jump back up. If he had deci2ed to do so and risk another bar- rage, he refrained after hearing the excited yells from his corner to “take the count.” Whether or not he knew he was getting a “long” count is something else, but he regained com- mand of his senses sufficlently to watch the referee's *oll intently and slowly climb back to his feet at “nine.” In Full Retreat. Dempsey, the crowd yelling madly for him to finish the champion, held back for some reason as Tunney be- gan circling fast, in full retreat, around the i The mauler jogged, turning to keep in view the fast-step- pirg champion, who was intent only on raking every advantage of a chance to clear his brain and regain command of himself. Dempsey, it seemed, might have leaped it at once and pursued the up- per hand, but he seemed annoyed hy and disdainful of the champion’'s re- treating tactics. As Tunney circled the ring for the sixth or seventh time, Jack stopped, dropped his hands and beckoned: ‘‘Come on and fight!" Caution, just then, was the better part of ring strategy to Tunney. He continued dodging until Dempse v, with a furious dash, connected with several hard smashes to the head. But the challenger's spurt was too late to accomplish much more damage. The round was fast finishing and the bell sounded with the rivals in a clinch. Tunney Weathers Storm. Tunney had weathered the storm. He had the extra minute of rest to recuperate. He was still cautious Wwhen he came out in the eighth round, but he was again the clear-headed, confident boxer. As he avoided Demp- Sey’s rushes and realized only a slash- ing rally would enable him ‘win, Tunney came back to take the “play” from Dempsey. Except for one or two occasions, in- cluding an instant in the tenth round when he was wrestled to the floor in a clinch, Tunney was himself the aggressor in the final three rounds. His right-hand jolts to the head re- peatedly staggered the challenger. His hooks opened cuts over both of Dempsey’s eyes, sending a smear of blood over the latter’s face. Under this punishing barrage, Dempsey sagged. At 32 and past the peak of his fighting trim, the old mauler did not have stamina enough to last. His legs wabbled. The spirit kept him going forward. He faced defeat with colers flying, but with his fighting machinery slowed down almost to a standstill. Only Dempsey’s unquenchable fight- ing heart kept him on his feet under Tunney’s sharp closing attack. Cut and bleeding, Jack was a pathetic figure as, unmindful of the sound of the final bell, he kept going forward. He did not realize the fight was ove that his last chance was gone. was the warrior to the finish, even if a beaten one. REFEREE BLAMES DEMPSEY.
