These esti- mates provide only for the elimination of the part-time and oversize classes, leaving to the future as a less press- ing need the replacement of the se enty-eight one-room portables and undesirable rented buildings. The estimates also carried an ap- propriation of $10,000 for a branch of the Public Library. ‘Accompanying the letter of Secre- tary Mellon was one signed by Com- missioner _Rudolph, .t of the Board of Commissioners, acting through Dr. Frank W. Ballou. superintendent of | schools, in which he said: 3 “The hoard of education, acting through the superintendent of schools, has recently requested the Commi sloners to submit to Congress e mates to cover the cost of certain greatly necded school buildings and | certain school sites needed for build- ings to be hereafter erecied and cer- tain school playgrounds adjoining ex- isting school buildings. In a report prepared by the su- perintendent of schools last Decem- Dber it was clearly shown that in order to provide adequate and satisfactory | facilities for the education of the| children of the District of Columbin 200 additional classrooms should be provided within the next year or two. | This program was based upon doing | away with part-time schools, with| over-sized schools, with the use of un- suitable rented buildings and with| the use of portable buildings adopted | as an emergency measure during the ‘war. | The present request does not cover all the needs as outlined in the re-! port referred to, but only those that| are regarded as more or less impera- | tive; in other words, those designed to do away with part-time schools| and with the oversized schools, leav-| ing to the future as a less pressing need the replacement of the portables; and unsatisfactory rented buildings.

Organizations similar to your own have zrown up in many cities, to the great ad- vantage of the mewsboys, and alko of their members,” the President sald. “It is a fine thing that the men who have zraduated from such humble beginnings into places of im- portance and influence in the world should continue their in- terest in behalf of the boys who come after them.” pr ECONOMY DEMAND MAY HALT PROJECT Secretary Mellon’s Warning Perturbs Proponents of New Executive Departments. Congressmen and other proponents of the suggested creation of three new executive departments of the | government—the departments of wel- fare, of education and of public health—find themselves much per- turbed over the insistent demand of Secretary Mellon for rigid economy in expenditures. They apprehend the will encounter encouragement to ad- ditional opposition to their plans and material obstruction in the very prac- tical points raised by the Secretary of the Tr v, invelving the cost of the new departments and the rais- ing of the “wherewithal” to support them. Involve Large Expenditures. While it i lized that the repub- lican party is_committed to the es- tablishment of these uplift depart- ments, and President Harding is in thorough sympathy with the projects, the congressmen aiso recognize that the enterprises must necessarily in- volve the (xpenditure of large sums, ever increasing in amount. They can foresee difficulty in launchin them at this session,” when the o ernment is hard put to it to make both ends meet in the upkeep of the existing establishment. It is expected that a proposal will be made, in the face of this situation, that the advocates of the creation of a department of welfare and a de partment of education kheir efforts for a ment to be known as t of welfare and education. posal will meet with deicrmined op- position, it is anticipated by con- gressmen, and will be sure to lead to a prolonged contest that may result in both projects going over to an- other session or even another Con- gress. Part of the controversy will be i sof District revenues which were col- still considerably higher than pre- war prices. but are approximately 33 per cent less than similar prices of a year ago. “The Commissioners realize that it unusual to submit supplemental estimates to Longress aftecr an an- nual appropriation bill has been enacted, but the need for additional| school facilities is 2 pressing one, | and the reduction in the cost of build- ing is such that they believe Congre: may be more willing to provide for additional schools and school sites now than it was at the time the orig- | inal estimates of the Commissioners | were under consideration by the ap- propriation committees of Congres: “In submitting &stimates cove these unusual needd the Commission- ers desire to call attention to the fa that there is in the Treasury of the| United States an accumulated surplus | Jected under the provisions of the act | of Congress of Junme 11, 1878, whic provided that 50 per cent of ali amounts appropriated by Congress should be paid out.of the revenues of the District and 50’per cent out of money in the United States Treasury | not otherwise appropriated. 1t is believed that these much-need- | ed schools might, with great pro. priety, be provided for by charging half the cost against the accumulated | surplus; but whether provided for in | this manner or as other items are provided for in the appropriation act approved February 22, 1921, is a ques- | tion that Congress should 'determine. | *“In the esti es submitted !ht-l Commissione: ve included an item | for the purchase of a site for a branch of the free public library in the south- eastern section of the city.

The women | contend there is no reason why a woman should not be at the head of an educational department as well as one associated with the pubiic wel-! fare. Another Combination Propowed. Then thers is talk of combining the | department of public health with the welfare institution, and in that case the public health service is said to fear it might be subordinated. Proponents of all three projects are fighting to keep them separate so that each will be alone and para- mount in its field. In the background are the congress- men who are opposed to further ex- tension of bureaucracy on general | principles and who insist that_these proposed new departments will en- large the system against which they inveigh. These men are glad that in their fight against any -more de- partments. NINE PERISH IN SHIP FIRE.

President Harding launched a drive today against what he termed the “dan- | gerous tendency” of government de-| partments to live beyond the means | provided for them by Congress and| submit requests for deficiency appro-! priations to cover deficits. In identical letters to cabinet mem- bers, the President directed attention to the fact that calls for approXi- mately $216,000,000 in deficienc propriations” are now pending that the estimated deficiencies run very muc Urgen ¥ The full text of his letter follows: “I am in receipt of a letter from Chairman Warren of the Senate com- mittee on appropriations calling my attention to the fact that estimates now before Congress call for appro: imate! 000,000 of deficiency ap- propri and that the estimated deficiencies will run very much be- yond that sum. 1 do not know of any more dangerous tendency in the ad- ministration of governmental d partments, and I am very sure that we can never fix ourselves firmly on a basis of economy until the depart- ments are conducted within the pro- i made by Congre ali this matter to the attention of the various bureau ofs, so that a like situation may not be reported in future. In his letter to the President, Sen- ator Warren gave the total of defici- ency nates now actually before Congress as $215, 58, Exceeding Approprintion Excuseles: i he wrot There 5 legal “about tly @eficiencies submitted in accordance with the provisions of the law; but rot all of these sums are of this cha ce that some are for new work entirely and have no place | whatsoever in deficiency bills. it would seem'that heads of de- partments and government establish rents and officers of the government charged with the responsibility of submission of estimates should be ield to a strict accountability. Now that the war is over there seems to be little excuse for the various de- partments and establishments not conducting their expenditures more nearly within their nnpropnhlicna."’ EXPECT EXECUTIVE NOMINATIONS SOON Prominent Men Mentioned as Probabilities to High Gov- ernment Posts.

AuTo PERMITS thirty | ] Z == < e o T T ?Ene?—t'“: U SN AR SHOW BIG SLUMP Eighty-Two Applicants Unable to Pass New Traffic Ex- aminations. Washington motorists during the Ipast month have discovered that to | get a permit to operate an automobile lin Washington these days an appli- !cant must know a little more than {that a machine has four wheels, a hood and a top. This is_disclosed by the first month’s report of the traffic bureau of the po- lice department, under direction of Capt. A. J. Headley. Of every ten per- | {sons who filed an application for a ipermit at least one was turned down. The total number of permits issued during April, the first month of the bu- Teau’s existence, was $11. Eight hun- dred an® ninety-three Washingtonians had applied for permits and eighty-two were turned dowr. Those receiving per- mits were obliged to show knowledge of operation of automobiles. And there is_another interesting iterl to be noticed. In March, when all a per- i s0n needed to do to get a permit was to i put up the necessary currency and tell ithe type of vehicle he or she wished to drive, 2,791 permits were issued. In February 1,309 were issued, and in Januvary 1,264 cardboards were pre- sented to applicants. Under the new order things appear to be different. This is testified to by the fact that scores left the bureau during the month without even putting in an application for a permit. GONFERONMERGER, SEE QUICK AGTION House Committeemen Hold First Conference and Study Woods Bill. After the first conference today of the special subcommittee of the House District committee on legisla- tion to effect a merger of the two street car lines in Washington, the members individually expressed hope that it would be possible soon to work out a solution of this problem. Most of the time of the committee was taken up with an_ explanation by presentative James P. Wood of Vir- | ginia of the which he drafted by direction of another special subcom- mittee in the last session of Congress after extensive hearings had been held by the full District committee. In brief, the Woods bill would first remove the prohibition placed by Con- gress against a consolidation of the treet car companics with Potomac Electric Power Company, although the entire stock of the latter company is held by the strett car company. The Woods bill also would compel a mer- ger if a voluntary merger is not ef- focted, by imposing a heavy exce: profits tax which would equalize t earnings of the two lines, I | | e 0-SNEVISTIC fg—muwn IAPANESE ENVOY ASKS 1. UNTY Baron Shidehara Declares Understanding Can Adjust Racial Difficulties. CLEVELAND, May 3.—Differences between the United States and Japan call for adjustment, but their exist- ence does not justify apprehension or pessimistic forecast,” Baron Shide- hara, the Japanese ambassador, de- clared today in an address before the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. “Is there any question between us,” he asked, “which cannot be set at rest by the ordinary process of friendly discussion? Is there any question be- tween us which can be set at rest by any other process? Sanme and honest diplomacy, backed by sense, reason, charity and mutual concessoin, will alone lead to the lasting settlement of these problems. There is abséjute- 1y _no other course.” Declaring that the stability of every “human institution” about the shores of the Pacific ocean depended upon the maintenance of harmony_ and good understanding between Japan and the United States, Baron Shidehara =aid a grave responsibility upon the United States and Japan. “Neither can avoid it,” he asserted. “How can we turn from such a solemn trust to engage in selfish bickering or to indulge in foolish recriminations? And yet we are constantly fed upon wild speculations, which tend to create an atmosphere of uneasiness and tension in our mutual relatio ships.” Japan Against Immigration. Taking up the Japanese question on the Pacific coast, the Japanese am- bassador reiterated the declaration of | his government that Japan claimed | “no right, nor has she any intention, in fact, of sending emigrants to this country.” | “She has held consistently to the| policy of placing restrictions upon, such emigration,” he continued. “She| only asks for her nationals lawfully resident in this country that just and equitable treatment which is in line with the fine traditions of the Ameri- can people. She desires nothing more —nor can she be satisfied with any- thing less. “It is evident that mass immigration of aliens of a particular race, on the one hand, and unfair and discrimina- tory treatment of them, on the other, will equally tend to hamper thejr natural process of” assimilation. Neither of such obstacles should be permitted to exist, if assimilation is to be encouraged. And after all there are only 125.000 Japanese in the whole mainland of the United States.” Chanipions Assimilation. Referring to the statement that the Japanese were not assimilable, the ambassador said that when given “the opportunity and privilege” the Japa- nese were capable of “intellectual and | spiritual assimilations which are com- patible with good citizenship, digni- fied manhood and loyal service to the { .S, REPLY CLOSES ling | what unexpectedly at a late hour last night. { thus i been deleted from the original as sent mode of dixcounting them. | | | | GERMAN INCIDENT Officials Say Note to Berlin, Sent Unexpectedly, Speaks for Self. In urging Germany to make at once, “directly to the allied governments,” adequate proposals on reparations the American government was be- lieved by the allied diplomats here to have definitely closed the reparations | incident so far as the United States| was concerned. i Administration officials declined to; comment on the communication, say- that it spoke” for itself. Nor} would they indicate the considera- tions which caused its dispatch some- ! | It was stated, however, that action was taken without any com- munication having been received from the allied supreme council at London. Hope Not Yet Given Un The State Department has been kept informed as to events in the supreme council and it had become evident that the German proposals were un- acceptable as a basis for discussion. That view had been taken by France and Belgium from the first. The United States apparently has not yet given up hope that a final settle- ment will be reached by discussion, avaiding coercive measures whic in the view here, would be likely to be attended by economic von- fusion. Officials will not say, however, whether the United States will con- sent to sound out the allied govern- ments with regard to further German proposals. Error in Copy Given Out. the American given out at the State Department last night contained a phrase which had reply to Germany as, to Germany. As the note was dis- patched to Berlin, the second sentence randum) this government states that it finds itself unable to reach the con- clusion that the proposals afford a basis for discussion acceptable to the allied governments.” In the copy made the phrase “and that these proposals cannot be entertained.” Action Somewhat Unexpected. ‘The copy subsequently was correct- ed and Undersecretary Fletcher call- ed at the White House early todav to assure the President that the phrase quoted above had not been in- cluded in the communication as dis- patched. It was explained that the phrase was a repetition in sense of what the note said otherwise and con- sequently was deleted as unneces- sary. In sending the reply last night, Sec- retary Hughes apparently acted some- what unexpectedly. President Hard- ing was at the theater during the called there to see him just before | 11 o'clock. Later he visited the White | House and presumably laid the drart Dbefore the President. It was approved and immediately afterward put on the | cable, while copies of it were made available to the press. The text of the note follows “The government of the United States | has received the memorandum left by Dr. Simons with the commissioner of | the United States under date of April 24 relating to reparations. In reply this| government states that it finds itself unable to reach the conclusion that the proposals afford a basis for discussion | acceptable to the allied governments. This government therefore again, ex. pressing its earnest desirc for a prompt sSettlement of this vital question, strong- 1y urges the German government at once | to make directly to the allied govern- ments clear, definite and adequate pro- | posals which would in all respects meet | its just obligations.” ! Received in Berlin. BERLIN, May 3.—The note of Sec- | retary of State Hughes to the German | government, replying to the German | counter proposals on reparations, was delivered to Dr. Simons, the foreign minister, at 11:30 o'clock this morn- ing by Loring Dresel, the American commissioner here. LONDON. May 3—Premier Briand read the text of the note sent by Se retary of State Hughes to Germany, urging that country to make clear, definite and adequate proposals to the allied governments while at brea fast this morning.

CAN ENCIRCLE RUHR AREA IN ONE DAY, SAYS FOCH Diplomats, Pleased by Hughes’ Note, Want American Repre- sentative at Parleys. By the Associated Press, LONDON, May 3.—The allied su- preme council today decided to take no naval action against Germany without consulting the United States. This was agreed to after a rather full discussion of the council members with Admiral Beatty of England and Admiral Grasset of France regarding plans for naval pressure upon Ger- many. The committee of experts at this morning’s session reported on the plan worked out concerning the guar- antees to be demanded of Germany for the payment of reparations, and the council will consider it this afternoon. Rubr Occupation Considered. Occupation of the Ruhr coal basin, in the event such action should be- come necessary, was considered by the council with the military repre- sentatives of the allies. The council then adjourned until 3 o'clock this afternoon. It s expected the council will finish its labors to- day. Four suggestions were examined by the council this morning, namely, blockade of the German ports, a par- tial blockade, a demonstration with. out a blockade and seizure of the cus- toms receipts in German ports. ir Gordon Howard, for Great Brit- ain, and M. Fromageot, famous inter- national legal member of the French foreign office, gave their judgment as to the rights of the allies in relation | to neutral countries. Washigpgton Views Awaited. The unanimous opinion was that nothing further should be dome at present concerning naval action un- [ til the views of the Washington gov- jernment were learned, and only as |an additional méans of compulsion in ithe event that occupation of the Ruhr, if carried out, should not prove sufficient to cause a surrender by Germany, Mr. Lioyd George, the British prime minister; M. Briand, the French pre. mier; Count Storza. the Italian for. | eign minister, and M. Jaspar, the Bel- | gian foreign minister, were agreed that American susceptibilities must be carefully considered. The British and French governments will con- Itinue to examine means for a naval action after final adjournment of the souncil for the purpose of eventual action if occupation of the Ruhr should be insufficient. | Note Pleases Diplomats. Unofficial copies of the American note of Monday to Germany were cir- {culated informally among the min- rested | evening and Undersecretary Fletcher |isters and it was wholly approved. The United States' relations to the question of reparatipns have been the subject of a great deal of talk in the meetings of the council since it first assembled on Saturday last. The representatives of the four gov- ernments are agreed that the United States must be invited to send a rep- resentative to the supreme council, the council of ambassadors meeting regularly in Paris and the reparations . commission. It has been thought wise not to urge the Washington govern- ment to enter these bodies until after May 12, when the results of the pres- |ent decision of the supreme council haev been seen. No formal action regard has been taken by the , but informally the represent- of the various governments have interchanged this view. Could Encircle Rubr in Day. Murshal Foch, who participated in today’s meeting, said he could enci cle the Ruhr region with troops in one day, and that only six or seven divisions would be necessary. The oc- | cupation could be completed on the second day, he declared, by sending patrols into the interior to take rail- way centers and strategic cross- roads. R Nine Days to Vield. Nine days remain for Germany to inform the entente of her intentions relative to the payment of reparation and give guarantees for execution of her promises. She must deal directly with the allies, it was said here to- day. as Charles E. Hughes, American Sccretary of State, is deemed to have closed the door to Washington” in the note he sent to the German cap- ital late last night. Mr. Hughes suggested that the Ger- { man government immediately make to the allies “clear, definite and ade- quate proposals which would in all respects meet its just obligations.” The sum of £6,600,000,000, normally ford suffering from exposure. s 2 ! ths: P sose. : X !
