One of the principal features of the problem to be discussed is the exten- sion of long-time credits to the cot- ton men. This matter has previously leen brought to the President’s atten- tion and was discussed at some length during his last cabinet session. Pay Check Arrives. Probably the most welcome visitor of the many- thousands who have called _at the White House offices since March 4 was received today, when Miss Katherine Shea, an em- ploye of the Treasury Department brought with her President Harding’ first presidential pay check. The lit- tle slip of official Treasury Depart- called for the payment Ordinarily the Pre: dent’s monthly pay check would call but this month fhe is for the three and one-half days Mr. Wilson served as President. President Harding yesterday after- noon received and shook hands with 350 school teachers from Buffalo, N. Y. and more than 600 girls from prepara- tory and hizh schools in New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Minnesota. Because of the time con- \sumed and the lateness of the hour when the last girl filed through the President's office he was unable to receive at least 600 more who were Waiting_outside.

MARCH MAY SELECT HIS OWN NEW COMMAND Much Interest Aroused in Army Circles in Assignments Which Will Be Available. On the presumption that Maj. Gen. Peyton C. March fs" t6 be relieved shortly of his present duties as chief of staff at the War Department there is speculation as to his prospectiva assignment to duty. It is generally considered probable that he will have command of one of the nine corps areas, but there is consideable dif- ference of opinion as to which par- ticular one. The only one in which there is a ~acancy at present is the 9th Corps Area, with headquarters at San Fran- <isco. That command was vacated a dew days ago by the statutory retire- ment for age of Maj. Gen. Hunter Lig- gett. Other similar commands will become available, Bowever, in a short time, through expiration of the regu- lar tours of service of the incum- Dents, and in the case of the 6th Corps Area at Fort Sheridan, IIL, by the expected relief of Maj Gen. Leonard Wood in 2 few months to en @ble him to accept the presidency of the University of Pennsylvania Among the other high commands ®00n to be available are the Panama Canal Department, commanded by Gen. Chase W. Kennedy; the Hawalian De- partment, commanded by Gen. Charles G. Morton, and the command of the American forces in Germany, now under Gen. Henry T. Allen. Though Gen. Allen already has ex- eeéuzd the usual term of foreign mervice, it is not considered probable that he will be relieved of his present command unless the troops are to re- main in the Rhine country beyond the present year. It is intimated in high circles that Gen. March will be asked to indicate his preference among the available assignments. — AT THE COMMUNITY CENTERS Wilson Normal Community Center —This evening, domestic art, milli- nery and dressmaking; People’s Na- tional Opera; advanced and elemen- tary French; war risk basket ball group. girls; library open for reading and reference .

ENTERS DENIAL Corrects Report of Crusade Against Tobaceo and for Blue Laws. To the Editor of The Sta In your issue of March 21 appeared an article headed “Woman's Chris- tian Temperance TUnion Fight To- bacco and Sunday Laxness” This article, which first appeared in the Chicago Tribune, and which seems to have been quoted all over the country, states that the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was about to launch a campaign against tobacco and in favor of the so-called “blue laws’ for Sunday observance. Quite specific details of the cam- paign were given, all of which were utterly false in spirit and in letter, save that for the fact that following the custom of many years' standing the National Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union has issued a call for its annual “day of prayer” for the better obscrvance of the Lord's day by Christian people, for which we have been pleading since there was Woman's Chtistian Temperance Union, as we have also advocated a day of rest for working people. 1t is well known that since its in- ception the Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union has been teaching to the young the effects of tobacco on the human system, and has been try- ing. in common with the educators and physicians, to stop its use by the immature. We have also dceply de- plored the use of clgarettes by our girls, but that we are entering on a campaign on either of these subjects is_absolutely falve. We are in a membership campaign, since our program of work in Ameri- ation. child welfare, social mo- y. Christian citizenship and kin- dred subjects. =5 well as our interest in the enforcement of the law of pro- hibition, calls for more workers. it _may be of interest to the public o know that for more than forty rs the Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union has been working for Americanization and child welfare under less high-sounding names, so that we have adopted the new names to an old, old work. let me again deny most Iy that the Woman's Chris- rperance Union is seeking cither to take tobacco from its adult users or foist any blue laws upon the public.

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 31.—(Spe- cial).- David M. Munroe, formerly a well known resident of Gaithersburg, died yesterday in Dailas, Tex., where he had made- his home for several years, aged sixty-two years. He had been {1l a long time, and his death was not unexpected. He is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Elizabeth Ranney of this county, and the follow- ing children: Mrs. Thomas M. Talbott and Donald R. Munroe of Portland, Ore.; Mrs. James Harold Snell of Dal- las and Mrs. Marion Butt Warren of Richmond, Va.

C, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1921 UTY CLUBTOBUD B SHD00 HOWE Members Vote to Erect-Per- manent CIubhouse_on‘G Street Near 14th. Adoption of a final plan for the erection of a permanent home for the City Club, at a cost of $£800,000, jfeatured the meeting of the club last night in the clubhouse, Farragut square. It is expected that work on the project will start within thirty days, or sixty days at the latest. The plan calls for initiation at once of the various steps necessary to begin construction, including the letting of contracts for the work. Stanley Horner Introduced the reso- lution indorsing the building project and authorizing the board of gov- ernors to proceed immediately With the plan. The method of temporarily financ- ing the project, as outlined in a resolution introduced by D. J. Calla- han, necessitates the raising of be- tween $125,000 and $130,000 by loans at 7 per cent obtained from members of the club. A total of $200,000 is required to clear the site, on G street near 14th street, of all indebtedness, and the difference between the ag- gregate of the loans and the amount needed is already available in cash- able assets, it was stated. Report on Finances. A finance committee of ten members which was recently appointed by President Whitfield to secure these Joans from the members reported through its chairman, John Dolph, that no difficulty had been met with in oversubscribing the necessary 2mount. Mr. Dolph said that $500,000 could be raised if desired, he thought. The $800,000 clubhouse planned will provide more space for club facilities than did the $1.000,000 home origin 1y talked of. The final project elimi- nates bedrooms, swimming pool and bowling alleys planned for the more expensive structures, but it was ex- plained that the pool and alleys could be installed later if funds permitted. The clubhouse will be a four-story structure, the street floor of which will be turned into large stores. The second floor will consist mainly of a large dining room. On the third floor will be provided exclusive club fa- cilities, including a lounge, reading room, library, cardrooms and billiard room. The upper story will contain a gymnasium and auditorium combined. Stores to Bring Revenue. The stores on the first floor are expected to produce revenues suf- ficient to offset the elimination of the five floors of bedrooms originally pro- posed. Thomas Bones, a member of the building committee, developed the plan for the home, and exhibited drawings of the building as conceiv- ed by Frederic B. Pyle, the club's architect. _ Ex-President Wilson was a victim of shrewder and more seasoned diplomats at the peace conference in connection with the secrecy which shrouded the sessions in Europe, ac- cording to Mark Sullivan, newspaper writer, who spoke at the meeting last night. Mr. Wilson started for Paris confident that there would be “open covenants openly arrived at,” but he was made the victim of ex- cessive diplomacy and flattery, Mr. Sullivan declared. HUNGARIAN TROOPS ~» RALLY-TO<EX-RULER TO STRIKE CAPITAL (Continued from First Page.) notentiary of Regent Horthy, has been sent to Steinamanger, the West Hun- garian town near the Austrian border where former Emperor Charles has taken refuge after his vain attempt to regain the throne. Count Bethlen, who at one time was adviser to the former premier, Arch- duke Joseph, has a strong force of troops at his disposal to suppress any civil war movement, should any be at- tempted. Premier Teleky and Count Julius Andrassy, former foreign min- ister and friend of the former ruler, accompanied Count Bethlen to en- deavor to persuade Charles to leave Hungary immediately. Bishop Count Mikes, who with many representatives of the Hungarian aristocracy was at Steinamanger with the former emperor, has been arrested charged with being the head of the movement_to restore Charles to the throne. Gen Lehar, in command at Steinamanger, who was suspected of backing the former monarch, with the West Hungarian army, asserted today he was loyally supporting Regent Horthy against the plotters. Gen. Belitska, the war minister, de- clared: “The former king is not supported by the troops. The army, as one man, is standing behind Regent Horthy, Charles is a prisoner, rather than a guest at Steinamanger.” Amidst stormy scenes a mass meet- ing called by the farmers’ party, adopted a resolution asserting that “Charles and all the Hapsburgs have definitely dethroned.” The farmers demanded the enactment of a de- thronement act and also that those guilty of alding Charles be punished. The newspapers have not yet been permitted to publish news of the at- tempted coup, but it gradually is being learned by the populace, who knew nothing of it. SEE CHARLES’ MISTAKE. British Say Monarchists Advised Time to Return Was Ripe. By the Associated Press. LONDON, Mareh 30.—British official circles express the opinion that for- mer Emperor Charles in his attempt to regain the throne of Hungary was misled by monarckists, who advieed him that the time was ripe for his return to Hungary. The advice of Regent Horthy to Charles to leave the country immedtately is regarded here as substantiating the view that there is no support for a monarchist coup in Hungary at present. The Hungarian regent realizes, it is waid, that while there are Hungarian elenients who would welcome a res- torztion of the monarchy, the great majority of the people are convinced the Hapsburgs, and particularly Charles, cannot assume the royal power. TUSED FRAUD AT BORDER. Passed on Passport as Red Cross Official. PARIS, March 31.—Former Emperor Charles crossed the frontier between Hungary and Austria on Saturday by producing a_foreign passport which represented him as a Red Cross offi- clal, says a Havas dispatch from Vienna. France is strongly opposed to & re- turn of former Emperor Charles to the throne of Hungary, it is declared in French official circies. France, to- gether with the other allied powers. has made it clear to the Hungarian government that the allies will not tolerate any movement looking to & restoration of the Hapsburg dy- nasty. “ALL I8 WELL.”—CHARLES.

REILLY, STABBED AT DANCE, RECOVERING Officer Receives Wound Three Inches' Deep While Arresting Negro Youth. LIEUT. MARTIN REILLY, Lieut. Martin Reilly of the first police precinct was stabbed in the left side this morning shortly after 1 o'clock, while making an arrest in the Coliseum, Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street. Joseph Alexander Harris, colored, twenty-three years old, 2020 E street, was arrested by the lieutenant and held on a charge of in- toxication and for investigation. The wounded police official was taken to Emergency Hospital, where it was found he had received a wound about three inches deep. The attend- ing police surgeon said he thought his condition was not serious. Maj Gessford, superfntendent of police, visited the wounded man at the hos- pital this morning. There was a dance given in the Coliseum last night by a colored church society. It was scheduled to terminate at 2 o'clock this morning, and it was about an hour before the closing that Harris was arrested. Lieut. Reilly said he did not know he had been wounded until he dis- covered blood on his hand. Then, according to the police, Harris asked the lieutenant to stop and let him get his knife. No weapon was found on the floor or in the possession of the prisoner, however, and the police be- lieve it was picked up by a witness to the affair.

In a general way it may be said that the talks ‘thus far have been characterized by the utmost frank- ness. Differences of opinion are not to be inflexibly maintained. There is an expressed desire for partnership with * France: and European nations along lines tifat are strictly American and that will permit freedom of ac- tion at all times.

Question Involved Whether Those ! on Other Pay Rolls May Be Paid for Services Rendered. The right of naval and coast guard | officers on the active list to receive | compensation from the United States Shipping Board’s Emergency Fleet Corporation. while drawing their regular pay is raised in three suits | filed ‘today in the District supume} Court. Capt. Godfrey L. Carden of the coast guard asks a judgment for $7,018 against the Shipping Board for serv. ices as special representative of the corporation at Buenos Alres. Capt. Paul Foley, U. 8. N, wants $5,500 for services as executive officer for the Shipping Board. Commander Frank P. Baldwin, U. S. N, seeks to recover $694.45 for services as acting manager of con- struction from June 1 to July 20, 1920. The Shipping Board, it is under- stood, has refused payment on the plea that the officers were receiving their regular pay and allowances for the period when their services were rendered. The District Supreme Court some months ago upheld the claim of a retired naval officer to compensation from the Shipping Board, in addition to his retired pay, but no case has heretofore been presented on _the question of the status of an officer in active service, and receiving the full allowances of his grade. Twelve other cases are said to depend on the decision of the court in the three cases flled. Attorneys Frank S. Smith and William H.

By the Associnted Press. Acting Secretary Roosevelt started a personal inquiry into the flight of the naval free balloon which left Pensacola, Fla, March 22, with five men aboard, and has not since been heard from. The inquiry is pre- paratory to ordering the usual board of investigation, which probably will not be designated until Secretary Denby returns from Guantanamo April 5 Mr. Roosevelt said today that the Pensacola affair, coming on the heels of the balloon flight from Rockaway, L. I, to Moose Factory, Ontario, would undoubtedly result in tighten- ing up orders regarding such flights in future. While the department has not offi- cially given up hope for the five men in the Pensacola balloon, it was ad mitted that little hope was enter- tained that the men would ever be found. The search is still in progress in the hope that the gas bag will be found in one of the deep Swamps along the Florida coast and that the men are slo making their way back to the inhabited area. In commenting on naval viation affairs Mr. Roosevelt announced that | he did not favor unification of the Army, Navy and post office air serv ices, a proposal which has been agi- tating the services and many m bers of Congress for the past two years. m- | of MASONSEDLOGZE SRMOSES EZENEL Impressive Mehorial Serv- ices Held at Scottish Rite House of the Temple.

The services were under the auspices of Washington Centennial Lodge, No. 14, F. A, A. M. The artist was eulogized as an adopted son of Italy, from whose King he received his_titls, by Senator Vit- torio Rolandi-Ricei, whose eloquent tribute was given In Italian. H.

An appropriate poem was read by irs. Marietta Minnigerode Andrews and music was contributed by Miss arlotte Klein. Mrs. Marion Butler, vice chairman of the Arlington Con federate Monument Association, pr ided. The dignified beauty of tt temple and the throng of _disti guished persons pri nt helped make the occasion a memorable one.
