Solve it 7-- Dr. Fordney is professor of criminology at & famous university. His advice is often sought by the police of many cities when ronted with particularly baffling cases. This problem has been taken from his case- k covering hundreds of criminal investi- ions. Class Day. BY H. A. RIPLEY. UE to the illnes: of Wilton Ber- shire, profes: r of history, Fordney was ‘“pinch-hitting” for him. “Most of you fellows,” he said, addressing the class, “are more interested in history than in criminol- ogy, but it is surprising how closely the | two subjects are linked, so I'm go- ing to tell you something of the murder of Julius ™ Caesar.” The class lis- tened attentively. “As you know he continued, “Cas- sius and Brutus were the chief conspirators against the gallant Caesar. They, with their cohorts, se- cretly met at mid- night on the day before the ‘Ides of March’ Many suggestions were made as to the best manner of assassinating Charges against the Treasury and have | thefire;‘! general. “Much conversation and argument had ensued before Cassius’ suggestion was adopted. Wine was passed and more talk about to be started when Brutus said, ‘Hark, comrades! The clock strikes 3; the hour grows late and Wwe must away while it is yet dark!" ¢ SNELL THINKS 6.0 . WILL REGAIN HOUSE £60 to 70 Democratic Seats o form of agreement for the unification of the | in Danger Next Year, Says Representative. Prediction that the Republicans would recapture enough seats next year to control the House in the next Congress was made today by Representative Snell of New York. the minority leader. He sald between 50 and 70 normal Repub- lican seats would be regained without difficulty. Under Snell's leadership the House Republican minority is planning a vig- orous campaign to recapture the seats in the congressional election. The work will be concentrated in_the Republican National Congressional Committee, com- posed of House members. Campaign ammunition already is being assembled Snell swid the reorganization of the party nodlonally and in the States was in the hands of the Republican Na- tional and State Committees. Fighting Chance Equal. Aside from regaining between 50 and 70 normal Republican seats, Snell de- | clared the party yad an equal fighting chance with the Bemocrats of winning enough additional seats to seize con- trol. That depends, however, he | pointed “out. on whether the experi- | mental legislation enacted by the Demo- | crats at the special session works. The outcome, he said, would not be known for a_year. | “Sneli has brought about reorganiza- |tion of the Congressional Committee into a group of younger members. Representative Bolton of Ohio is chairman, Representatives Bacon of New York and Carter of California are vice chairmen. With Snell, they are planning to raise as issues the Demo- cratic-approved currency inflation, dou- ble budget economy and control of in- | dustry. Outlining the Republican stand on the Roosevelt program enacted at the special session, Snell said: “The Democrats had responsibility and we did not want to be placed_in | the position of obstructionists. We | sought to co-operate on a non-partisan | basis on_ legislation we thought would benefit the country. “Where there was a fundamental | difference of principles we forced rec- ord votes in order that the people might have no doubt as to how the Re- publicans stand. 0ld Principles Thrown Out. | “Much of the Democrats’ program, instead of decentralizing the Govern- | ment, ruthlessly discarded every prin- ciple ‘of individual enterprise and in- itiative for which this Government was | founded. The principles of more than | 100 years have been thrown out. | _“Everything has been placed under Government control, and the Demo- crats’ program constitutes autocratic and bureaucratic domination of our na- | tional life. We will learn at the end of a year whether this vast experiment is practical.” Snell said Republicans “do not believe the Democrats can justify their double budget system, because regardless of | whether money s expended for ordinary or extraordinary expenses, they all are to be paid for some day.” “The Democrats, along with their economy measures, have authorized ex- penditures amounting to eight billion doll>rs,” Snell said. “They won't be able to balance the budget if their money is spent, and most of it will be.” The Republicans, he said, will “con- “Silently they filed into the nighttinue to insist upon sound money for and went their various ways. next day, the fatal ‘Ides of March,’ the great militarist and _statesman, | who had befriended both Cassius and | Brutus, was struck down in cowardly | fashion.

He would announce that he could let any one throw the dice and tell in advance what the figures on the tops and bot- toms would total. The slickers would pull out their money to cover the bet. They would be $30 or o short of covering the whole bet and our sucker friend would generally dig down and cover the balance to be 35 “The drunk would announce that the total would be 35 and the sucker would throw the five dice.

COLORED CITIZENS ASK NEW SCHOOLS, Federation of Civic Associa- tions Also Seeks Recrea- tional Centers. Development of new schools, recrea- tion centers and public roads in District communities where colored citizens live in large numbers is asked by the Fed- eration of Civic Associations, such proj- ects to be financed by funds provided by the national public works appro- priation A list of projects which might be in- | cluded in such a program will be pre- sented to Federal officials by a special committee of the federation which was authorized to act for that body at a meeting last night at the District Building. Construction of a senior high school for colored students on a site on Ben- ning road northeest near Kingman Lake, an addition to the Browne Junior High Schoo! anz an addition to the Charles Young School were included in the list of proposed school projects. The federation specifically urged de- velopment of recreation facilities at the Banneker Center in the Northwest Sec- tion; at the school center near King- man Lake in Northeast Washington: on a site north of Chesapeake Beach Railway in Burrville, and on another site in Southwest Washington. Among road projects which the fed- eration urges through the Federal re- covery act were—Forty-ninth street from Eastern avenue to Central avenue northeast; a new bridge at Forty-ninth and Dean avenue northeast, over Watts Creek; sidewalks on Forty-ninth street; extension of Grant street from Fifty- third street to the District line; widen- ing of Sheriff road and extension of | Maryland avenue from Bladensburg road | to Kenilworth avenue northeast. The committee named by the federa- tion includes George Beasley, president; Howard D. Woodson, Corine E. Martin, John C. Payne, W. H. Lewis, Samuel D. Matthews, A. L. Mundy and H. D. Quecn. The federation also directed the com- mittee to consult with Federal officers concerning employment of colored workers by the Government in posi- tions outside of Civil Service. Fears were expressed that colored employes would be discriminated against in that phase of Government service because jof the requirement of photographic identification of candidates for positions.

Many of us went over to North Haven last night via the automobile of the island innkeeper. He had come out to get the skipper to sign his hotel i-gister because nearly 60 years ago Gen. U. S.

Working up through the islands has been a great experience and the skip- per’s previous knowledge of every pass- age and channel has been a revelation. The new members of the crew have fitted in quickly and Franklin, jr., has already been to the top of both masts, so we know who to send aloft in case |of trouble now. They had a good sail | drill early as we started with the bal- | loner set, but the breeze proved a little | strong so we doused it under full way |and rehoisted the two head sails.
