Dry Throats Mourn Out-of-Date Motto Removed From Bar NEW YORK, June 21.—Con- viviality, long since gone to a watery grave, was mourned last | night at a memorial service in the once-gray basement of the Lotos Club. Its mourning mem- bers, lamenting with parched vocal cords, took down from above the little bar that mno longer functions as of old its motto of good fellowship—+“Stay me with filagons.” For thirteen years this in. mecription had been the inspira- tion of many a group of kindred bowls. It v culled from a of Solomon's day—*“Stay me with fiagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love.” HOMEOPATHS URGE HEALTH BUREAY Enthusiastic Over Dr. Saw- i yer’s Plea for New Wel- fare Department. With prohibition, flagon ac- quired an empty wound, and the motto tnunted the good fellows of the club with pangs of retro- wpect. Last night they put it out of sight. lts passing will be duly recorded in the history of the club by a committee in- eluding_Irvin S. Cobb, George Ade and Booth Tarkington.

Revision of the ship operation policy of the Shipping Board will be brought about within a few days and a new director in charge of all operations of Shipping Board vessels will be ap- pointed, it was learned at the Ship- ping Board today. Charles Piez of Chicago, former di- rector general of the Shipping Board, was in conference yesterday with the board, and will be appointed director general in charge of operations and allocations, it was understood today. ‘The government would assume com- plete direction of operation of all ves. sels owned by the Shipping Board and either operated by it or by firms to which Shipping Board vessels have been allocated under the plan under- stood to have been discussed yester- day by Mr. Plez with the board.

It will, however, endeavor to place ships flying the American flag on the most advantageous trade routes avail- able and will extend American trade in American bottoms to all corners of the world. Mr. Piez is a practical shipping man ‘who has had large experience in admin- istrative affairs. As director general of the emergency Fleet Corporation in 1917-1918 he "headed the organization that placed the American flag on the high seas as a challenge to the sub- marine during the war and which ulti- mately brought American shipping from a position of comparative insignificance to one of international importance, Board Controls 1,600 Ships.

Determination of the ad- ministration to get the government out of the shipping business will not hinder advantageous placing - of American ships in profitable trade routes, it was said today. The present shipping depression, it was said, will practically force con- tinued operation of Shipping Board vessels for some time, as the market for ships has dropped to such a de- gree lglt sale of the vernment- owned vessels would result in a heavy loss. While the policy of the new board in regard to ship sales has not been announced, it is a question whether it would be more satisfac- tory to push the sale of the vessels and take the relul!ll\f loss or con- tinue their operation with the chances for profit.

By the Associated Press. GENEVA, June 20.—Hjalmar Brant- ing, former premier of Sweden, at to- day’s session of the council of the league of nations attacked the report of the allied commission which in- vestigated the dispute between Fin- land and Sweden over ownership of the Aland Islands, in the Baltic. He was particularly severe upon Judge Abram I Klkus, the American mem- ber of the commission, who, he said, “diminished the importance o6f his own mission and detracted from the prestige of his own decision by de- claring the Aland Islands question to be_insignificant.” C. J. A. Enckell, Finnish minister in Paris, recognized the Swedish na- tionality of the population. He re- minded the council, however, that the King of Sweden had promised in 1909 never to assert any rights over the islands and that Sweden had recog- nized Finland's independence without reserve. | Final Hearing. The council today gave the third and probably final hearing on the Aland Islands question. The hearing was public, out of deference to M. Branting, who had fought for pub- licity of the league proceedings in the assembly last December. The Aland Islands commission sub- mitted its report to the league of nations in Geneva in May last, recom- mending that the islands remain un- der Finnish sovereignty, with guaran- tees for the safeguarding of the Swedish population. The commission, whose report was unanimous. held that the islands were too small for independence and rejected the idea of awarding the islands to Sweden for several reasons, one of which was that the Aland Islands had been a part of Finland for more than 100 years, and also because on the Fin- nish mainland there was a Swedish population sald to number 320,000. The council of the league has the right to accept or reject the report. The league of nations has invited groups of jurists representing the South American countries to propose candidates for election to the bench of the international court of justice. The invitation sent to Argentina that four jurists be named to fur- nish a list of candidates remains un- answered. Judge Gray Wi WILMINGTON, Del, June 21.— Judge George Gray, who, with three other prominent Americans. has been invited by the council of the league of nations to propose four candidates for election as judges of the new in- ternational court of justice, said last night that, while he had not received the official invitation from the league, he had decided to accept. Judge Gray said he would not discuss his prefer- ence for candidates until he had _con- rerred with his colleagues, Elihu Root, John B. Moore and Oscar S. Straus. A. F.

The organ- izers of the conspiracy to abolish the Department of Agriculture have come out in th eopen and declare this de- partment no longer necessary.” The resources of the federation are pledged against all alleged attempts to weaken the department. Resolutions disapproving the sec- ond-class mail zone rates and an in- crease to be effective July 1 were adopted. The executive council was instructed to appeal to Congress to repeal the zone law for second-class mail and to conduct an investigation into the postal rates to ascertain whether they were greater than the cost of transporting mail. A report of the executive council disapproving plans to prohibit lob- bying at Washington was adopted. College Vote Refjected. A proposal to take a referendum vote on a proposition to raise $10,000,- 000 to finance the establishment of five universities of industriai and agricultural economics—four in the United States and one in Canada— ‘was rejected. Efforts of postal employes to mini- mize night work were indorsed. Indorsement of the world war vet- erans, provided for in a resolution, was refused with the declaration that the federation held to its principle, adopted last year, of impartiality to- ward all organizations of war veter- ans. The convention urged all subordi- nate organizations to contribute to a publicity, information and speakers’ bureau of the federation. Speakers in vehalf of this recommendation da- clared that enemies of labor have established bureaus through which misleading information is dissemi- nated to the press and public. A resolution calling on the federa- tion to take steps to establish ten daily newspaperg throughout the country, in as many industrial cen- ters, was also rejected by the con- vention. Central labor bodies, how- ever, were urged to consider the ad- visability of establishing their own daily newspapers. Non-Partisan Bureau Here. The non-partisan campaign of the federation during 1920 was indorsed, and the convention instructed its offi. cers to take steps to form a perma- | nent non-partisan campaign organi- zation with local branches throughout the country. A central information bureau to operate in_connection with this organization at Washington was also authorized for the purpose of distributing information regarding the activities of Congress to the va- rious unions. The convention adopted the execu- tive council’s indorsement of estab- lishment of conference boards of or- ganized workers, “thoroughly volun- tary in character,” as a means of pro- moting the democracy of “through develop! effort.” *“Co-operation should be encouraged as an effective mea: of curbin profiteering,” the couyncil’s report said, urging extension of the federal farm loan act to give credit to all properly organized co-operative societies. The report also urged that the United States Department of Labor issue monthly statements of the cost of manufacture of staple articles. Continuation of the policy of co- operation with farmer organizations was voted. FIRE IN APARTMENT. ° Smoke Alarms Occupants in Marl- borough. Fire in the apartment of Capt. Theodore G. Dewey, U. 8.

Babson, statistican of Boston, and Harry Atwood of Chicago, were on the pro- gram for addresses on “The Business Outlook,, and “The Constitution—Our Safeguard,” respectively. An_ entertainment was planned for his evening by the Cleveland club. 1t was estimated between six -and seven thousand delegates and visitors are in the city. Among the last to ar- rive was the delegation from Illinois. Betwecen two and three hundred arrived from that state this morning on the steamship Missouri, which will be their headquarters while' in the city. About forty automobiles brought other dele- gates from the Sucker state. Keen rivalry continues between To- ronto, Atlanta and Fort Worth dele- gates for the 1922 convention. The At.

It also re- quires the rerouting of certain lines .0f the Washington Re!lway and Elec- tric Company over tracks that will take from it a further portion of its |pronuble business. Declared Complieated. “In addition to this large capital ex- penditure on the part of the Washing- ton Railway and Electric Company the bill also requires the Capital Trac- tion Company to make track exten- sions and connections which are esti- mated to cost $1.387,000. “Another section of the bill limits the maximum allowable rate of fare at four tickets for 25 cents, or 7 cents each, which will reduce the combined annual revenues of the several com- panies by $1,850,000, based upon the number of passengers carried during the year ended April 30, 1921. “The last section of the bill author- izes the Capital Traction Company to acquire the property and franchises of the Washington Railway and Electric Company, but makes no mention of the property of the City and Suburban Railway mpany, the Georgetown and Tenleytown Railway Company and the Washington-Interurban Rail- road Company, all of which are inde- pendent companies, although con- trolled by the Washington Railway and Electric Company, through its lownership of a majority of their stock. “The commission is of the opinion that the passage of such a measure would tend to further complicate an already complex situation, without having the desired effect of enabling tie companies to furnish adequate and satisfactory service at a reasonable rate of fare. The commission there- fore recommends that favorable action be not taken on Senate bill 1983.” MERGER BILL UP TOMORROW. Ball-Focht Measure Would Make Consolidation Possible. The Ball-Focht bill, which would grant permission to the W. R. & E. Company to consolidate with the P. E. P. Company, and to take into merger the Capital Traction Com- pany, is going to be brought up at the regular meeting of the House District committee tomorrow by Chairman Focht, who hopes to get & favorable report upon it. Chairman Focht explained today that this legislation is not intended to interfere in any way with the more drastic measures, which are being discussed by the special sub. committee, of which Representative Zihiman of Maryland is chairman. The Ball-Focht bill, he pointed out, is designed to remove the prohibition placed by Congress sgainst the mer- ger. It is designed to open the way 80 that the utilities companies may voluntarily merge. The other legis- lation which has been discussed, Mr. Focht explained, is more in ‘the na- ture of swinging a club over the corporations 8o as to force them to merge. Trh‘e Ball-Focht bill has as an un- derlying design the same as was em- bodied in the measure which received a 13-to-1 vote in the House District committee last year and ordered re: ported, but which Chairman Mapes refrained from reporting out. The in. tention then was to remove the legis- lative prohibition against the consoli- dation of the Potomac Electric. Power Company and the Washington Rail- way and Electric Company. BSenator Ball and Representative Focht have enlarged the old measufe 80 as to allow all of the street car lines to enter the merger. Chairman Focht said today that he believed it is necessary to g:sa such legislation as first step toward a solution of the street car problem in the Capital, and that he hes every confidence that the subcommittee at its meeting Friday will report more drastic measures in case the utflities com| es decline to accept the pere greated flzh Congress. 2 and Electric | mated to cost $752,000, and at the; the Washington | ch PORTRAIT OF ALEXANDER R.

Shepherd. . 3 Commissioner Rudolph, in opening the exercises; said: “The Commissioners have set this time that they might efficiently re- celve and accept for the municipality a portrait of the late Governor of the District of Columbia, Alexander R. Shep- herd, executed about the time that the great capital builder was in his full vigor and strength, which is pre- sented to us by his widow. A number of letters from promi- nent citizens regretting their inability to attend these ceremonies, have reached the Commissioners, notable among which is one from Henry B. F. acfurland, who, as president of the ard of commissioners, accepted ti gift of the stafue, which adorns tl lawn in front of the District building. Mr. Macfarland states that he has important case to argue in court this morning, and concludes his letter with “I would not. like any one to think that 1 was unmindful of any opportunity of doing honor to a man for whom I have such respect and regard because of the great service he did to the National Capital. “It is very gratifying to have so many {riends and admirers of the gov- ernor come to honor this occasion on so short a notice, and it is a matter of sincere regret that the donor, herself, is not able to be with us, she having gone to her summer home. Mrs. Shep- herd has written the Comissioners of her disappointment at not being present and that she requested her son, Alex- ander R. Shepherd, to represent her and act for her.” Member of National Rifies. Gov. Shepherd was born in Wash- ington January 31. 1835. At the age of seventeen he began an apprentice- began, in 1861, he voluntecred ices to the government as a member | of the National Rifles, the first mili- tary body to invade Virginia. Shepherd began his career as a pub. lic official in 1861, when he was elect- ed to the common council. He then was only twenty-six years of age. Six years later he became a member of the Levy Court for the county outside the cities of Washington and George- town. When Shepherd entered public life the capital of the nation was far from being a city of magnificent dis- tance. Under a form of government which provided for a mayor. board of aldermen and common council little progress was made in the task of de- veloping the city along the lines of the far-sighted plans of Washington and L'’Enfant. ‘With many streets unpaved. side- walks in need of repair and no gen- eral system for disposing of sewage, the community was discouraged. Shepherd decided at the outset of his career that a change in the form of government that would tie the fed- eral government more closely to its capital city was necessary to get the District out of its rut. Citizens Named to Draft Bill The youthful member of the council discussed his ideas with.close friends. The seed of thought which he sowed resulted in the appointment of a com- mittee of citizens in 1869 te draft a bill for the better government of the District of Columbia. A year later Shepherd became presi- dent of the Citizens' Reform Associa- tion, and was elected to the board of aldermen. At that time the population of the entire District was approximate- Iy 130,000. On 'February 21, 1871, Congress enacted a law, declaring the District a body corporate for municipal purposes. Provision was made for a governor, a secretary, a legislative assembly and a board of public works. The assem- bly was composed of a council of eleven members. The house of dele- Fates consisted of twenty-two mem- bers. The act also provided for a delegate to the House of Representa- tives. When this law went into effect in 1871 Shepherd was vice president of the board of pablic works, with Gov. Henry D. Cooke as president of the board. At a referendum vote, taken in November of that year, the voters approved the obtaining of a loan of $4,000,000 for public improvements. This action marked the beginning of the beautification of the National Capital. For three years, from that date until Congress created the com- mission form of government in 18574, Shepherd devoted himself with all of of his physical and mental energy to the paving and grading of streets, the construction of sewers and othe- much needed improvements. In 1873 he succeeded Gov. Cooke in office and held the position until 1874, when he was legislated out of office by the act establishing the commis- sion form of government. In 1880 Shepherd moved his family to Mexico, where he had become in- terested in a mining project, Honored With Demonstration. Seven years later, when Shepherd returned to Washington on a visit, he was honored with a civic demon- stration. During his absence the community had come to a full re- l}iwlon of what he had done for the city. Shepherd returned to his work in Mexico. He had developed his min- ing property and was planning to re- turn to the city of his birth, when he died, in 1902. After much delay his body was brought to Washington in May, 1903, and buried in Rock Creek cemetery. In order to perpetuate the memory of Shepherd for future generations, the citizens of Washington in 1908 erected the statue of him which now stands in front of the District build- ing. ——— BUDGET OFFICERS PICKED.

WORLD TRIBUNAL Government Leans Towarii Court, Although Created - , by League. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The United States government looks with friendly eyes on the establish- meént of the world court of interna- tional justice, even though that body f has been created by the league of na- tions. The Harding administration, fearful of the wrath of the “irrecon- cilables,” will not openly lend its in- fluence to the establishment of the urt, but the council of the league of nations has prudently save the Wash- ington government much embarrass- ent by addressing its invitation to Elihu Root, Judge Gray of Delawar-4 and Oscar Straus, who are the perma. nent American members of the Hague tribunal. Without committing the Harding administration in any way to submit jts disputes to the ju iction of the new court in making the con- stitution, of which Mr. Root played o important a part, the invitation to nominate judges for the court will be accepted.

When the civil war| covenant of the league of nations pro- vided for the creation of such a tri- bunal. there were many speeches of criticism made when the peace cov- {enant and treaty were made public and it was found that the interna- {ional court was left to the future. It » was partly as a result of that erit- icism and partly because of the desire of foreign governments to get the {court started that the proponents of {the plan decided not to wait for Ame |ican ratification of the peace treaty, ibut to invite Elihu Root as a private {citizen and_distinguished Jurist to frame a constitution for the new |court. “Mr. Root spent most of lust | summer in Europe working on the |plu.n which is now bearing fruit. | League Technically Dead. It was while Mr. Root was in Lon- § don that he cabled Mr. Harding that it would be unwise to pronounce the { league of nations “dead.” for it was already proving its usefulness in mak- ing the international court u reality after years of futile effort in that di- rection. Mr. Harding, however, being unfa- miliar with what Mr. Root was discov- ering on the other side of the Atlantic, made a speech shortly after the elec- tion echoing Senator Lodge's statement that the league was “dead.” Mr. Hard. ing confirmed this later on, but it is now, of course, insisted that the Presi- dent was expressingz an opinion only, so far as the United States is con- cerned. é In other words, the league technical- Iy doesn’t exist with respect to Ameri- assador George Harvey ence to the funeral ora- tion recently when he said that the Harding administration wouldn't deal with the league, directly or indirectly. The foreign powers have since sent all their communications through other chaninels, and the latest device adopted by the council of the league when it wishes 1o reach the American govern- ment is to address a note to the su- preme council, on which America is represented. ’ 4 (Copyright, 1921.) —_— FIVE JUDGES SELECTED FOR BEACH STLYE SHOW Rules Also Announced for Bath- ing Suit Contest Saturday Afternoon.
