PROPOSES SENDING Senator Knox Believes In- _ quiry of Situation There Should Be Conducted. A proposal that the Cuban relations committee of the Senate be sent to the island republic to obtain infor- mation Congress may need if the American government is called upon t0 act because of financial and politi- cal difficulties there. has been made by Senator Knox, republican, Penn- sylvania, and will be acted upon im- mediately. Senator Johnson, repub- lican, California, has announced that the Committee. Which includes Sena- tors McCormick, republican, Illinois Underwood, democrat,-Alabama. and Dial, democrat, South Carolina. in ad- dition to Senator Knox, would be asked for a recommendation on Sen- ator Knox's proposal. - S “Grave accounts, first of financial difficulties in Cuba, and more lately of the political situation, have caused a good deal of concern, as they have been brought to the committee,” Sen- ator Johnson said. “Senator Knox, who has been giving the matter par- ticular attention, suggests that, in view of pending developments, we follow up a study of the conditions. “In order to place the United States in a condition to aid Cuba, if affirma- tive action by the -government is call- ed upon for the relief of the situa- tion, it will be necessary to have the facts. It is suggested that the com- mittee conduct such inquiry there as may be possible, and be in a position to i gently advise Congress in case action is_Sought. -"Dr. Manuel R. Angulo, a member of the Cuban liberal party, when in- formed that senators were consider- ing going to Cuba, issued the follow- ing statement: ncerely hope that a committee of United States senators will go to Cuba. and at an early date—the ear- lier the better. “The intervention by . the United States in Cuban domestic affairs and in order to insure the self-government of the Cuban people always repre- sents for Cuba a donstitutional act, since the recognition of this right is established in the Cuban constitu- tion.” SPECIAL NOTICES. s MARINUZZI OUT AS OPERA LEADER SENATORS 10 CUBA | oz CHICAGO, January 8.—The resig- nation of Cino Marinuzsi, operatic conductor and composer, as artis- tic director of the Chicago Grand Opera Company was announced.

Housing problems facing the pub- lic schools of the District of Columbia and the steps being taken to over- come classroom congestion were out- lined by Dr. F. W. Ballou, superin- tendent of schools, in an address at a meeting of the Chevy Chase Citi- zens' Association, last night at the E. V. Brown School. The Home and School Association and the Mothers’ Club joined in' the meeting. Dr. Ballou revealed that an actual physical shortage of 183 classrooms is being endured in the elementary schools, and that these classrooms cannot be constructed in time to take care of the normal expansion expect- ed next year. He said a preferred building program incorporated in the District budget for 1922 provides building of 124 additional class- rooms, and that within a few years the schools will have caught up with the present classroom shortage, but will have fallen behind as regards space for the future. Dr. Ballou said the board of educa- tion and the superintendent are Eiv- ing their undivided attention to the building program, realizing that the housing needs of the schools are para- mount and even above certain educa- tional legislation that the superin- tendent said is badly needed.

Both Auther and Mrs. Franzen deny the allegations of the woman's hus- band that she was “stolen” at the point of a pistol. They also deny that Auther forced Franzen to give him a check for $100, with which to pay for the “honeymoon.” A charge of grand larceny in con- nection with the check has been filed against Auther and in a second war- rant he is charged with deserting his wife and baby in Highland Park_ The search for the couple, which nd Put in Jail started Thursday, was ended here early this morning, when detectives located Auther and Mrs. Franzen at the home of a newspaper man, where, it was said, they had been taken for an interview by a reporter who found them -at a hotel. They admitted their identity, and : Mrs. Franzen, the police said, related the circumstances leading to their de- parture from Madison. Auther con- ifirmed her statements. According to the police, Mrs. Fran- zen stated she and Auther had never been married, as they were reported to have told her husband, but they had been acquainted for a number of years. . Beveral days ago, she said, Auiher came to their e in Madison, told Franzen of th mutual_love, and asked him to allow Mrs. Franzen to leave with him. Franzen is said to have agreed, and when Auther stated he had no money, gave him a check for $100. l In the House and Senate Declaring that a revision of the American tariff would be prejudicial to the interests of the Island of Ber- muda, a committee of Bermuda citi- zens has forwarded a protest against revision which the British embassy turned over to the State Department.

The United States is doing more along the line of vocational rehabili- tation of former service men than any other country in the world, the Senate educational committee said in a report accompanying a_bill which would extend training benefits: to Americans who served in the allied armies and also, to widows and chil- dren of men who, lost their lives. The ‘committee’s report said 75,000 men had: taken advantage of ‘the training, law and_that 2,000 had been regtored -to industrial activity.

Salmon of New York, ad- visor on mental diseases to the Rocke- feller Foundation, in support of the Regers bill to co-ordinate soldier re- habilitation activities into a new federal bureau in the Department of Interior. Others Advocate Measure. In addition to Dr. Salmon those whoy urged passage of the bill included Dr. H. A. Pattison of New York, supervisor of medical service of the National Tuberculosis Association; F. W. Galbraith, national commander of the American Legion, and several other officers of the latter organiza- on. Dr. Pattison stressed the need for government hospitals for the treat- ment of veterans suffering f{rom tuberculosis, while Mr. Galbraith charged that decentralization _of authority in dealing with disabled men had put many of them in “frightful” predicament. E Describes Plight of Men. Dr. Salmon, who ‘was in charge of the treatment of neuro-phsychiatric cases in the American expeditionary force, gave a graphic description of the plight of men suffering from shell shock and other mental and nervous troubles. One-third of the ex-service men receiving treatment at govern- ment expense are neuro.phsychiatric, he said, and six of each ten men so inflicted are insane. In declaring that the gevernment was obliged to send insane veterans to local asylums, aimshouses and sana- toriums operated for private gain, Dr. Salmon said: “Men so committed, as a rule, are never visited by federal officials to see whether they are properly cared for or whether the institutions in which they are confined are even fireproof or fit for human beings.” He added that in some instances proprietors of pri- vate sanatoriums were pocketing as profit as much as 60 cents on each dollar received for the care of ex-sol- diers. - Dr. Salmon also. charged that under the present method insane service men must be adjudged “insane paupers” in court before they can be committed to state or county asylums. . Quotes Mother’s Plea. “Many a mother has told me,” he said, “that shé would rather ree her son under a cross in France than to have him adjudged an insane pauper and committed to a state institution.” As a result of this sentiment, he add- ed, some men are “lurking at home, afraid to come forward, getting worse all the time.” Dr. Salmon added that this “unseen army” would not come ferward until the government provides suitable in- stitutions for their care. He mated that 50 per cent of the men suffering from nervous and mental applications with proper treatment could be returned to soclety “either well or socially recovered.” Discussing the tuberculosis situa- Be Sure to See Our SUNSHINE HOMES Finished and Unfinished—Open 9 to 6.
