Republican members had agreed to stand by the Porter resolution and democratic mem- Dbers sald they saw no meed of vot- ing one way or the other.

PENDING HANDBOOK CASES NUMBER 82 Police Records Show 84 Arrests for Alleged Viola- tions During Past Year. Of eighty-four arrests made for alleged violation of the handbook law in the District of Columbia, from April 24 last year to date, only two cases have been disposed of, accords ing to reports to Maj. Gessford, super- intendent of police, by his precinct captains. In one of these cases a penalty of sixty days’ imprisonment and fine of $300 was imposed. 'he other case was dismissed. This leaves eighty-two cases pend- ing, police records show, the de- fendants being out on bond. It is further shown in the police records that each person arrested was required to give bond in -the sum of $3.000 in each case, making the total bond given by the eighty- two defendants $246,000. i I Ansigned te - For a number of years it was. the custom of the authorities to take handbook cases direct.to Polics Court for a_ hesring, but in almost every clean-up week has ended. .The firat move was made by Com- missfliner Oy the palice. to enforce - strictly the regulation against throwing. wiste paper or any other litter on streets or Sidewalks. . i second move, was. to take up with “Mortis’ Hacker, superintendent of ‘city refuse, a suggestion that a special gang be sent out late on Sat- urday or early Sundey’ morning to clean the streets in ‘the -downtown district. . Commissioner Oyater, who took up the latter suggestion with "Engineer Commissioner. Kutz, said that the gut- ters and streets of the business sec- tion gare frequently .cluttered with waste paper. on Sundays from. the Saturday night crowds. ¥ - Pelice Will Get Busy. Although the engineer department probably will arrange to clean up the | downtows district.for Sunday, the po- lice from now om will endeavor to put a stop. te the practice of throwing litter on the streets, thereby making extra work for the sreet clesning de- partment. . - The police code fixes a fine’of from $1 to $100 on- any persom convicted of throwing litter of any kind on the streets. Trash containers have been placed at'nearly every street intersection in the downtown part of the city, Com- missioner. Oyster pointed out, and there is no excuse, he believes, for streets.

BEFORE AND TERMS FOR MEXICO REGARDED LIBERAL !U. S. Recognitiop Based on Written Assurance of Pro- tection to Americans. ‘BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Mexico's chances of recognition by the United States government are not | based upon adherence to any specific {formula of words, but upon written |assurances that wil cover the whole question of protection for the lives and property of Americans. | Whether there shall bea: treaty or governinent simply an exchange of diplomatic notes as a basis for. rece ition is something that is being worked out in mnup{lon‘[ tween -the two i : 1 _that mo hard and the year as well as during |a proctocol, as has been insisted tal eek. - some: ‘quarters . here. or whether the| American shall . accept ‘o bt - w! & sufficient basis for the recognition by other srnments.

Semor Pani, the foreign minister: wa% a member of ‘Carranza’s special comimission, which sought to adjust at New London and later at Atlantic City. It is known that the late Sec- retary Franklin K.Lane held Pani in high esteem and often said that if matters had -been left to Pani's dis- crotion wnd if Carranza had not been {80 indifferent to Pani's advice, Mex- ican-American relations woald long have been smoothed out. Pani % gescended trom a distinguished Italian family of diplomats. The Washington government is eageér to get on & working basis with the Obregon .government, but is not inclined to' sliow its impatience to | destroy its program of what should be axopted by the Mexican authorities before recoggition can be extended. The Mexicans do not like the idea of being required to accept “conditions. ‘They have the impression that recog- nition ‘is something spontaneous—a judgment by a foreign power on the facts. The Mexican theory seems to be that if law and order have been established snd foreign governments think the Mexican exeeutive and con- gress have beén legally electéd that is sufficient basis for recognition.

F WIVES TOIL, MEN LOAF, THINKS REPRESENTATIVE Reclassification Hearing Draws In- teresting Discussion on Woman's Place in World. That the nation's economic fabric may be undermined if the polley is adopted to give highly remunera- tive positions to women in govern- ment work and private employment, was by Representative Smith of Idaho, at the Senate and House civil service committee hear- ing today on reclassification. The Idaho member's views on the Subject of the proper place of woman in industry were expressed following the presentation by Mrs. Maude Wood Park, chairman " of the National League of Woman Voters, of a plat- form committing the league to the principle of equal pay for women for equal services performed. This organization is said to have 2 unit in every county of every state of the Union, and advising the women of the country to vote for their interests without making party affiliations. Mrs. Park said govern- ment positions should be filled on the basis of merit and not on the basis of sex. Would Discourage Marriages? Representative Smith asked Mrs. Park if she did not consider that giving good paying positions to wom- en would tend to discourage mar- riages and to lessen the desire for home building. The witness replied - that she did not think the question of family relations should be con- sidered in connection with the filling of government positions, but added that if the men mede home life more attractive there might be less of a desire on the part of women to go into government employment. Representative Smith drew 2 picture ~ of a possible future day when 1 ‘women of the country wiil be holding down the best jobs and the men stay- ing'at home and looking after house- hold duties. He said he did not know what would become of the men if the women insisted on going to work, and it would be a sad day for the country ‘when the industry of the women might ‘place a prémium upon idleness .!T:):-.
