As they went along upper 16th street his child kicked one of the shoes out of the car. 'And when father attempted to alight he had to do it one foot shod and the other socker. That is why he put an ad in the pRper. for the return of the shoe and, in lieu of thai, expressed the hope ‘it would be found by a one- legged soldier. - DENIES IGORROTES ‘- WERE INFLUENCED IRISH DELEGATIONS OF A.F.OF L CLASH Boycott of British Goods and Insurance Companies Is > Demanded.

Cameron, -chairman of the law and legislation committee, relative to bills in Congress affecting pawn- brokers and loan associations in the District, the association went on rec- ord as in favor of the legislation ad- vocated by the Commissioners, by which the rate of.interest would be raised from 1 to 2 per cent, and op- posed to any measure calling for a greater rate of interest. Edgar B.

Other offi- cers elected were: Knut Nilsson, firbt vice president: Ralph Super, second vice president; Miss Dorothy Hullfish, re- cording secretary; Victor Reich, corre- sponding secretary, and Elmer P.

Advocates of Irish freedom, it was learned, at a maas meeting last night appointed a committee which was at- tempting to draft a resolution Jhat would be satisfactory to both the extreme and conservative groups of the assemblage. When this committee started to work, T. J. Vind of Chicago. secretary of the labor bureau of the American commission of Irish independence served notice that two “official reso- lutions of the Irish republic’ must be incorporated in their resolution, or he would act independently in pre- senting the documents to the conven- tion.

There had been talk during the day that Mr. Cockran would not be found in line with his party, but putting him for- ward to end the debate upset calcu- lations. In the end, however. the New York member did not actually vote, as he was paired. G Representative Pat Kelley of Mich- igan, who is chairman of the: House conferees at work on the naval bill | with its disarmament amendment, made a bitter attack on the resolu- tion, declaring Congress would live to apologize for its act. which he de- scribed as making peace with a mere clasp of the hand. after the fashion of professional wrestlers. Principal Attack on Measure. The principal attack on the resolu- tion was based by democrats on the ground that it did not properly pro- tect American rights and that the United States, in attemping to nego- tiate & treaty with Germany and her ally would sit down with feet and hands tied, and without beigg able to demand the rights won by war. Re- publicans held, however, that all rights were safeguarded. Representative Garrett, Tennessee, the acting democratic leader; Repre sentative Connally, democrat, Texas and Mr. Flood made the principal speeches against the resolution, all declaring that the chief argument in isupport of its adoption was that it i would pave the way for greater trade with Germany. —_— Stage people regard it as unlucky to leave Soap behind in their dress- ing room when on tour. they are country held Tech High School. rotes are intelligent and know Announéement was made by retiring President Bastian of the death recently of John T.

Adoption of the Porter resolution, which would terminate the state of war with Germany and Austria-Hungary, came after two days of hard fighting, but the vote was decisive, 49 democrats joining the republicans for a total of 305 votes in favor as against 61 opposing. Only one republican, Representative Kelley of Michigan, veted against the resolution. All attempts to amend the measure failed. Substance of Kmex Proposal. The Knox resolution differs from the Porter resolution, in that it would re- peal the declaration of war. Opponents have claimed that Congress ought mot to repeal the war declaration, as it might be regarded as a repudiation of the war itself. Debate on the Porter resolution centered chiefly about the question of whether American rights would be properly safeguarded. The House was not in session today, having adjourned until tomorrow. First throwing out on a point of order a motion by Representative Flood, dem- ocrat, Virginia, to send the resolution back to committee with instructions to report a substitute requesting the Presi- dent to negotiate with the enemy coun- tries for a treaty of peace, the House voted down, 254 to 112, another recom- mitting proposal relating to disarma- ment. There was no debate on the latter motion, which provided for an amend- ment to the pending measure resery- ing the right under the treaty of Ver- sailles “to enter into an agreement with Germany and her allies and the powers associated. with the United in the war for joint disarma- Leunching of a concerted campaign to secure from Congress appropria- ticns for a new and greatly enlarged building for the McKinley Manual Training School, now located at 7th street and Rhode Island avenue, was announced last night at the spring reunion of the Tech Alumni Associa- tion in the auditorium of the school. Decision of the supporters of the achool to abandon completely previous efforts to obtain an addition to the present building, and instead to work for a distinct edifice to be erected out: side the congested district of the city, was disclosed in a report to the asso- ciation by the “greater Tech commit- tee,” composed of members of the faculty, alumni and student body. The ‘ report was made and explained by Louis F. Mattern of the faculty, gen- eral chairman of the committee; Myles F. Connors, chairman of the ways and means subcommittee, and J. Harper Bnapp, chairman of the publicity sub- ‘ - committee. No Room for Additions. The “greater Tech committee” it was stated, had found on thorough in- vestigation that it would be inadvisa- ble to carry out original plans for an addition to the present building on Rhode Island avenue, i view of the congestion of business houses and residences in the vicinity. The pro- posal to construct an entirely separate building, as was done by Central and Eastern high schools, appeared more favorable to the committee. in view of the increased aeeds of the school.

Early passage by Congress of leg- islation looking toward purchase by the government of Mount Vernen was indorsed in a resolution adopted by the Congress Heights Citizens’ As- soclation last night at a meeting at the Baptist portable church. The resolution favored elimination of the { admission fee to the grounds of Wash- ington's home. F. C. White, a member of the asso- ciation, deplored the necessity of pay- ing an admission fee to visit the shrine of American liberty. He added that he thought the grounds and resi- dence of George Washington could be maintaiged just as well under government’ ownership as they are at present. Rev. E. E. Richardson, vice presi- dent of the association, who presided at the meeting last night, submitted @ comprehensive list of objectives for which the association will strive dur- ing the coming year. They include a four-room addition to the present school building in Con- | ress Heights: improvement of Nich ols avenue sout ; opening of Ra- leigh street: building of a triangular park in the center of Congress Heights to help in beautifying the suburb; -a branch library, a bank ! and a branch post office. tailor, was serving on the 0,000 | . one of his low and d blow on his head with an improvised siungshot..
