The only reports cf property damage resulting from the | customary pranks was the theft of an iron gate and the shooting of a street lamp globe. Sixty persons were locked up on intoxication charges. The first hold-up occurred shortly bafore 9 o'clock, the victim being Alfred R. Tolson, 4621 Georgia avenue, man- ager of the filling station. He lost $80 to three bandits. Tolson told second precinct police { that three men walked up to the sta- tion and asked for some gasoline in a can.

Pedestrian Held Up. Herbert J. Taylor, 915 Sixth street southwest, was the second victim. He reported to fourth precinct police that he was held up by two men wearing vellow costumes and masks. The men | each pointed pistols at him and took | $44. The robbery occurred shortly before ,2 o'clock this morning. ‘When a candle-lighted jack-o’-lantern | set fire to a curtamn in the first-grade room of the Eaton School during a Halloween celebration yesterday after- noon, the presence of mind of Mrs. Mildred Lehnert, panic. Mrs. Lehnert led the children from the room and, returning, pulled the flaming curtain from the window and smothered the flames. In the downtown section and on upper Fourteenth street the men who sweep for a living were out early re- moving the traces of the one-night reign of old King Mummer. Large piles of paper confetti, with here and there the broken trapping of some cel- ebrant, were removed from F street, Pennsylvania avenue and Ninth street in the downtown section. Thousands Throng Streets. A huge and colorful crowd thronged the downtown streets last night and the gayety lasted until well after mid- night. Thousands attended dances at hotels and dance cafes, other thou- sands found their revelry in private parties and still more thousands made merry at such parties as that given by the City Club, the Kallipolos Grotto Band and Drill Corps party at the ‘Washington Hotel, the Clan MacLen- nan masquerade at Pythian Temple and the parties of St. Cecilia Guild, St. Monica's Chapel and U. 8. 8. Jacob Jones Post, No. 2, American Legion, at the St. Thomas Circle Club. ‘The first precinct led with the num- ber of arrests for intoxication, 25 being locked up there and sent to court this morning. Ten persons were arrest- ed for the same offense in the sec- ond precinct and nine in the fifth pre- cinct. The number in the others was below normal. A few of those arrested for intoxication were also charged with disorderly conduct as well. The eighth precinct reported five disorderly arrests and none for drunkeness. All of the five fire alarms received during the night were found to be false. Telephone calls, however, de- scribed by firemen as “locals,” took ap- paratus to the homes of J. L. Cannon, 630 North Carolina avenue southeast, and James M. Ellis, 6 Grant circle. At the home of the former firemen found that a paper jack o' lantern had been ignited and that the blaze had spread to a rug. It was quickly ex- tinguished. Slight damage resulted. No. 24 engine company and No. 6 truck company were called at 10:30 p.m. to the Grant Circle address. There they found a fire that had started on the second floor and burned up the stairway to the attic. Damage was tentatively estimated at $500. There were no in- juries and the cause is as yet unknown. One Street Fight Reported. ‘There was but one street fight. Thot occurred shortly after 11 o'clock, when Bernard Fitzgerald, 28 years old, of the 1400 block Morse street northeast, engaged in an altercation at Fourth teacher, averted a “vhether you rent or whether you bu||.

He was later taken to Gallinger Hospi tal and charged with disorderly con- duct. The colored men, Henry and James Long, both of the 700 block, Eu- clid street, were arrcsted and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. A fight in a house in the 1900 block of Ninth street resulted in the injury of Phillip Packett, colored, 44 years old, when he is sald to have been struck on the head with a shovel by Mattie Davis, colored, 27 years old, of the same address. Packett was first treat- ed at Freedmen's Hospital and then he and the woman were both arrested charged with disorderly conduct. Annie Stewart, colored, 22 years old, of the 500 block, G street southeas:, was arrested on charges of intoxication and disorderly conduct after she was treated at Casualty Hospital for bruises about the body and a possible fracturc of the shoulder, received when she fell down the steps at an amusement hall in the 1200 block U street. A survey of his premises after the celebration had been under way tfor several hours resulted in a request from Sam Becker, 1720 First street, for po- lice to search for the iron gate that formerly had been in front of his house. In Harrison avenue southeast some one shot the globe from a gas street lamp, but missed the burner and the light continued burning. Anan Gill, 7, 618 L street southeast, was treated at Emergency Hospital last night after a celebrant struck her over the left eye with a stone while she was on Eighth street near E street southeast. The injury was not serious. A similar injury was suffered by Wil- liam A. Tracey, 47, of 119 Pennsylvania avenue, when he was struck on the head witia a brick during a fight in his home, He said he did not know the name of his assailant. After treatment at Cas- ualty Hospital he was arrested and held for investigation. James Connell, 35, 1327 Half street southwest, was cut on the back with a knife curing a fight in Fisherman’s Hall, F street between Third and Four-and- a-half streets. He was treated at Emer- gency Hospital. THREE AMBASSADORS ON SPEAKING PROGRAM Near East Relief Work to Be Dis- cussed at Golden Rule Din- ner Wednesday.

TEAM Girl Champions, First to In- vade Country, Win on Sub- ject of Psychology. Relying more on wit than logic, the champion girls' debating team from England, the first of its kind to invade this country, was acclaimed winner of a dual debate with the George Washing- ton University team last night after the well prepared arguments of the local 3irls had been riddled by shafts from the The visitors took the affirmative side of the question, “Resolved, that the popular reading of psychology is un- dermining morality.” Declared Veil for Men’s Sins. Miss Marjorie M. Sharp of Bedford, London, was easily the most popular speaker of both sides. She began her address with the confession that she was “slightly handicapped” because she had neither read nor studied psychology. “One of the most disastrous conse- quences of the popular reading of psy= chology,” she said, “is that it furnishes men with a multitude of excuses to cover | D. C, THURSDAY, their sins, which they have sought ever since the affair in the Garden of Eden. | In the old davs a man who had killed | another was called a murderer. Now, | thanks to psychologv, he is called an interesting psychological study. | Most of the burden for the tlve. was carried by Miss Ruth Kernan, 1401 Oak street, Who quoted numerous au- thorities to show that morality is not being undermined by popular psychol- ogy. Her attempt to make a distinc- tion between the “idea of morality” and “actual morality” left the large audience omewhat divided ‘as to whether she was discussing a religious theme or deal- ing with the intricacies of philosophy. Slang Terms Perplexing. Frequently the visitors exchanged puz- zled glances as one or another of the local girls employed a strictly American slang term to convey her meaning. On one occasion, Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, presiding, stopped the debate to define a term used by the George Washington girls which was obviously not familiar to their opponents. Miss Nancy Samuel of Oxford openzd the debate for the affirmative. She con- tended that modern psychology is break- ing down morality because one of its teachings is that an individual commits an anti-social act because of inherent characteristics over which he has no Inspect Our NEW HOME 1220 13th St. N.W.

Miss Leonora W. Lockhart of Girton, Cambridge, opened her argument with the statement that there is more im- morality in America than any place else in the world because more people who cannot fully understand psychology are reading it here than elsewhere, “Such things as your thrill murderers and stu- dent suicides are almost unheard of in Europe,” she said. Psychology, she said, is breaking down moral standards and removing the idea of a God, “but neither of these is as im- portant socfally as is the fact that it also gives the average reader a sense of futility which leads to utter despond- ency.” Arguments for Psychology. Miss Helen T. Prentiss of 3447 Hol- mead place defended psychology, claim- ing it has resulted in better laws such as pension acts and child labor regula- tions and that while there is a little of it that is bad the vast majority is highly beneficial to humanity. The last speaker for the negative was Miss Marjorie Mothershead, 1364 Oak street. “The whole tendency of our | lives is toward progress,” she said, “and this in a large measure results from the | popular reading of psychology in news- | papers and magazines.” Nearly 500 persons attended the de- bate, which was held in Corcoran Hall. ‘The British girls will remain in Wash- ington several days before starting a tour of the country.
