COLUMBIA PLAYERS Guild Tournament Honor Is Awarded on “When the Ship Goes Down.” ‘The Columbia Players, following their last year's achievement, for the second time were declared blue ribbon winners in the Drama Guild one-act play tour- nament. Not anl{rr was their play, Harry McGuire's sti sea, “When the Ship Goes Down,” ad- judged the best of the four excellent presentations of last evening in the McKinley auditorium, but their stellar actor, Robert D. Chase, was acclaimed the most accomplished performer. In awarding the prizes, which seemed have given the judges mo end of trouble, “The Valiant,” the Takoma Players’ selection, was accorded second honors, and “The Little Stone House,” creditably acted by the Jewish Com- munity Center Dramatic Soclety, was a close runner-up. Thespian honors were given to Amy Clement Leavitt of the Women's City Club drama unit, Dr. E. Clyde Shade of the Takoma Players and Virginia les of the Masks. e e most perfect use of dic- tion” was divided between Rebecca Dial of the Rebecca Dial Studio Players and Dorothea Lewis of the Playmakers of Thomson Community Center, who were tied for the honor. It was generally acknowledged that last night's plays were of fine. caliber and that in almost every respect there was a finished quality to them, even better than last year. Yet, in spite of general excellence throughout, the Co- Jumbia Players succeeded in being head and shoulders above their rivals, not only through the merits of their actors, but through the merits of, their play. “When the Ship Goes Dowh” not only presents a fine picture of the horrors of a ship foundering in midocean, but it gives a keenly stimulating study of psy- chology, which makes the drama more genuinely tragic. The character of Lighty, the galley rat, was portrayed so sympathetically by Robert Chase that one wonders if the legitimate stage could have done better. He was not the only sterling performer in the prize-winning play, however. Fine performances were given by George Odell and H. R. e and othg‘s E. D. Reed whose director and chief actor was Dr. E. clggs Shade, al- thouqh hampered at the beginning, was not long in attaining to the stirring quality of its curlously heroic tale. Dur- ing the final scene, which the con- demned convict takes leave of his sister, there was not a dry eye to be observed in the audience. J. M. Synge’s tensely moving play of Irish sea coast tragedy, “Riders to the Sea,” seemed somehow too much for the D. C. League of American Pen Women, although one or two of the characteri- zations were genuinely touching. The board of judges, composed of Mabel Jennings, Daniel C. Chace, An- drew Kelley, nk Baer and Whitman Conn, was unanimousiy of the opinion that the general performances through- out the evening had been splendid, and vouchsafed & pe that this spirit of excellence would continue in the fu- ture.

ASKS CONGRESS BUY FAMOUS COLLECTION TO HONOR PUTNAM Representative Collins Says Fifteenth Century Relics An earnest appeal to Congress to accept an opportunity to buy at less than half its market value the famous collection of incunabula of the fifteenth century, comprising several thousand volumes, as a memorial to Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian of Congress for 30 years, was made in the House Elmdly by Representative Collins of Mississippi.

What Prince Georges County police at first belleved to be another gang shooting appeared as a too-hilarious party this morning, when Arthur Gard- ner Middleton, 19-year-old Gallinger Hospital attendant, who lies in Emer-l gency Hospital with a .32-caliber bul- | let wound in his thigh, told Lieut. Ed- | ward Kelly, chief of the Washington homicide squad, the circumstances un- der which he was $hot. When admitted to the hospital last night, Middleton gave his name as John Da Sellers, his address as the 1400 block of Potomac avenue southeast, and de- clared he had accidentally shot himself.

McDonald, another Gallinger Hospital attendant, and John Slade, a former attendant at the in- stitution, Middleton told Kelly, he left ‘Washington last night to visit a cousin Southern Maryland. The wounded man is quoted by Lieut. Kelly as saying that Slade had been drinking and atened to shoot Me- Donald with a revolver he was carry- ing. McDonald succeeded in getting | the weapon away from him, Middleton ! sald. Slade is then said to have gotten out a penknife and threatened to stab Mc- Donald unless he surrendered the gun. A short time later Slade is said to have shot Middleton. ~Middleton said he hjt Slade over the head with a milk bottl ied him out of the car. hospital. His condition is sidered serious. Middleton reached the hospital about o'clock_and at the same hour James I. Boyd of Forestville was called to treat a man who had stumbled up to the door of the home of Phillip Buckler, near Clinton, Md. His face was covered with blood. Twelve stitches were required to close the deep gashes about the man’s forehead and ear. Constable Jails Man. Dr. Boyd called Constable A. C. Thompson, who jailed the man after learning that a man with bullet wounds was in Emergency Hospital here. At the jall the man's name was inscribed on the blotter as Slade. He was booked for investigation. According to Thompson Slade talked vaguely about having been taken for a ride by three “guys” who endeavored to “put him on the spot,”” and in the fight that had ensued he had shot at them. He refused to reveal the identity of his assailants. Slade said he was left unconscious by the highway. When he regained consciousness he sought aid at_the Buckler home. In lade’s coat pocket Thompson found a sealed envelope, on which was written in ink: “To be opened in case of death, accident or very serious iliness that would render me unconscious.” The envelope contained a single sheet of paper on which was written: “Notify Dr. Charles O. Funk.” “My name is John Slade. In case of death, accident or illness that would render me unsconscious notify Dr. Charles O. Funk, 717 Fairmont avenue, Philadelphia, Pa. Please use the quick- 2st of communications you have at hand. Phorie number is Poplar 3653, Philadel- phia, Pa. Thank you. “P. 8.

Meenan of George-? town U. Accidentally Struck | by Nutshell. | | On gridiron and hardwood floor, through the gruelling games of foot ball | and basket ball, Harold P. Meenan, 21- | year-old senior athlete at Georgetown University, played without major in- | jury to be seriously wounded yesterday | Dr. | by a piece of pecan shell flicked into his eye by a schoolmate, His head swathed in bandages, Mee- nan is confined to Episcopal Eye, Ear | and Throat Hospital awaiting the re- | meval of the dressings four days hence, when attending physicians will be able to ‘determine whether his eyesight is permanently impaired. The possibility | of recovery is great, physicians say, de- | spite the severity of the wound. | In a dormitory room at the university, a friend tossed the shell at Meenan, playfully. The missile, however, struck the youth in the eye, lacerating pupll, necessitating his removal to the office of Dr. Michael F. Kennedy and from there to the hospital. Dr. Ernest A. Krug, eye specialist from New York, arrived here last night to confer with Dr. Kennedy and it was said that both physicians believed Meenan had a good chance for recovery. Four days will be required to determine the extent of the injury, however. Meenan, son of Daniel P.

Jewish adult delinquency decreased almost 18 per cent from 1916 to 1926, and there was a 44 per cent decrease in the number of cases of Jewish chil- dren in juvenile courts during the same period, Dr. A. Harry Ostrow last night told the congregation of the new Kesser Israel Synagogue in Georgetown. Dr. Ostrow's address was another of several answers made here recently to the statement of Judge Nathan Cayton of Municipal Court that “a Jewish crime wave” existed over the country. “We know that the Jewish criminal exists,” Dr. Ostrow sald, “We know that Jews are involved in bootleg, narcotic scandals and in other crimes, but so are men of every other race and religion.” Dr. Ostrow cited figures on Jewish crime as compiled by Judge Otto Rosalsky of New York, and declared that in his opinion they proved that the percentage of criminal Jews is as small or smaller than that of any other race. The speaker painted a bright pic- ture of the future of the Jews in the United States, where, he said, “Our abilities, traits and powers are blended with those of our fellow men.” Last night's was the first of a series of discussions of current questions by young business and professional men of the city before the Kesser Israel Con- gregation.

NEELY MAKES PLEA FOR AIRPORT HERE Establishment of Proper Fa- cilities Would Mean Brilliant Future, Women Hear. The National Capital without an air- .| port is like a railroad locomotive with- jout a track or a steamship without a harbor, Frederick R. Neely, chief of the division of aeronautical information of | the Department of Commerce, told the i first meeting of the newly organized ' aviation section of the Women's City Club last evening. With establishment here of prcper aviation facilities, Mr. Neely said, the Capital should have a brilliant aviation future. He pointed out that the finest array of aeronautical talent in the world is available here and residents may obtain authoritative advice on any phase of aeronautics without leaving | the city. { Get Background for Regulations. As a result of air transport develop- ments the last year, including the inauguration of three major transcon- tinental trunk lines, Mr. Neely said, the Department of Commerce now has suf- ficlent background based on actual op- eration experiences to frame rules for greater safety in passenger and trans- port flying. Under the Department of Commerce regulations, Mr. Neely said, the air pas- senger on sceduled transport lines will know that'the plane in which he has been properly checked, the pilot is experienced and ahle, that he has re- ceipted for the latest weather informa- tion before taking off, that he will fly safely and conservatively, that radio weather information will eliminate the element of surprise and danger and that there will be ample intermediate fields to permit safe landing when the N fes | r COUZENS PLANNING WEDDING PRESENTS FOR NEWLYWEDS Approves of Young Chewn- ing’s Desire to Support Wife on Salary. WEALTHIEST SENATOR WILL WITHHOLD DOWRY Visit to Capitol Hill Office Con- vinces Parent Bridegroom “Nice Young Man.” After a week of first-page discussion on a Nation-wide scale the marital af- fairs of Mr. and Mrs. William Jeffries Chewning, jr., today were relegated to the category of “private family affairs” by Senator James Couzens, multimil- lionaire father of the former Margaret Couzens, eloping 19-year-old bride of a bank clerk, son of a Predericksburg, Va . doctor. Mrs, Chewning, on a brief trip to Washington, yesterday presented her husband for the first time to her wealthy father, received the parental blessing and then went back'to Fredericksburg to visit the Chewning family again. ‘The Senator has adopted a policy of letting the young people make their own plans. He heartily approves of the plan of his young son-in-law to support his _wife on the salary he makes as manager of the new accounts department of the West End Branch of the Washington Loan & Trust Co. Senator Plans Wedding Presents, There will be no dowry, ag such, the Senator has decided. However, thers will ‘e wedding presents befitting the daughter of the richest member of Con- gress from the Couzens family. The Senator has not given the wedding pres- ent idea a great deal of thought, but the presents go along with the wed- ding and Senator Couzens is in a posi- tion to do things in a handsome way. This is-the way, the Senator says, he has done with his son Frank, who is in Washington on a brief 'visit from De- troit, his home, and with his daughte: Madeleine, who married Willism Rumer Yaw of Detroit. Both the son and son- in-law have been allowed to make good on their own.

There are 11,000 licensed pilots in the country, 25,000 student pilots' craft, exclusive of military planes, and 3,000 more airplanes identified but not licensed.
