Fake Collectors Seek Money for
'Trioit Hal Fund.
Warning to the People of George
town against Persons who claim to be
soliciting money for the MOMm cam
paign of Holy Trinity parish to com
plate the fund for the 4.000 school
and parish hall plant I given by Rev.
E. Do L McDonnell, S. ., pastor of
the parish and treasurer of the cam
paign organization.
"Every person soliciting money for
this fund will have an identification
card." said Father McDonnell. "Unleas
the solicitor can show such a card
he or she is not authorized to collect
and any person attempting to do so
without authority should be exposed.
The names of all those who are au
thorised to collect will be published
before they start their house to house
canvas. There are only 150 persons In
the campaign organization. No one
is allowed to collect any money be
fore Friday. November 30."
The campaign headquarters which
have been established In the old
parish hall, which was the frst house
of worship In Washington, are a
busy place with a night and day
force of stenographers and type
writers hard at work compiling the
lists of every member of the parish,
and making card indexes of each so
that every person in the entire parish
will be covered.
The enthusiasm with which the
members of the parish are taking up
this campaign is shown by the large
number who visit the headquarters
to offer their, services and to get
details of the work so that they
can talk It over with their neighbors
and have everyone in the parish
ready to give generously.
The rivalry between the teams is
already intense and several of the
captains are laying bets. One of these
beta Is that whichever team loses has
to fill the prime loving cup with silver
dollars as a penaty.

Henry W. Barett Gets Year for
Assaulting Chiki.
A previous good record and a oon
fession is all that saved Henry W.
Barrett from a long penitentiary sen
tence. He was sentenced yesterday in
Police Court by Judg Pugh to serve
one year at Occoquall for mistreating
a little 6-year-old girL.
Barrett, a 32-year-old whit. man,
bad been sober for five months up
until about November 10. Seeing that
he would have a hard time getting
whisky after November 1, Barrett
determined to have one last "jag."
The whisky tax was In effect at
that time and Barrett. not being sup
plied with the money to buy the bet
ter grade of whisky, bought and
drank a pint of the most fiery stuff
that could be had for 25 cents.
He remained drunk for one whole
day, when he committed the offense
with which he was charged.
His plea for mercy addressed to
Ralph Given, Assistant United States
Attorney, places the entire responsi
bility for the crime on whisky. It is
in part as follows:
D.~C."Jall, NovembZ18
"Mr. Given?
"Dear Sir:
"I know that I have done wrong
and deserve some punishment but I
want to say. Mr. Given, that I did not
mean any harm to them children. I
had not drank anything for five
months and it had meso sick I was
going to the hospital When I got Into
this trouble. I have got very re
specterful people and I had to try and
not let this thing be aired In the
courts. I hope you will be as lenient
with me as you can for I want to say,
Mr. Given. if it were not for whisky
I would never get into trouble and I
am certainly glad I will not be able
to get any when I get out.
"Hoping you will be merciful, I re
main your humble servant,
"HENRY BARRETT."
