s WOULD HELP SOLVE | STREET CAR ISSUES | ‘Business and Civic Bodies Name Committee to Aid l Congress and D. C. Heads. ]' FAMILIAR WITH NEEDS | Platform Adopted Shows Aim to *Guard Public—Men in Charge of Work. | SAMUEL J. PRESCOTT. Impetus was given the solving of the local street car problem by the busi- ness men of the city last night when the joint committee of commercial and civic organizations on the street railways situation was formed in the Board of Trade rooms in The Star building. The organizations repre- sented on the committee are the ‘Washington Board of Trade, the; Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants | and Manufacturers’ Association and | the City Club. The meeting last night | was held for the purpose of organiza- tion. 1 Samuel J. Prescott, chairman of the executive committee of the Board of | Trade was appointed chairman of the joint_committee. James T. Lloyd of | the Chamber of Commerce was elected | vice chairman and Charles J. Colum- | bus, secretary of the Merchants and | Manufacturers’ Assoclation was chosen secretary. Executive Committee. An executive committee consisting of ,Ross P. Andrews, William Cla- bafigh, Arthur Seymour and Francis R. Weller was appointed to work “ out details of the campaign to take| the local street yailway situation squarely before Congress and the Puolic Utilities Commission. The exec- utive committee was to meet today at 3:30 o'clock at the Chamber of Com- merce rooms in the Homer building to work out additional details of the campaign. The secretary of the joint commit- i tee was directed to notify the Public Utilities Commission and the proper committees of Congress of the for- mation of the-joint committee and of its proposed activities at hearings before both bodies. * Adopt Platform. The platform of the committee, adopted last night, follows: “Active interest in the street rail- way problem has been manifest on one hand by the rallway officials and stockholders, and on the other by the public, through mediums representing patrons in the name of various Citi- zens' Associations in the city. It is a fact that the membership of the large civic and the commercial or- ganizations have until recently given only occasional consideration, through their organizations, to this important subject. “It is the belief of this joint com- mittee that the street railway prob- lem is of fundamental importance in the development of the community, and that the serious housing problem now existing is closely related to the transportation question. “It is believed that the health, hap- piness and prosperizy of our people and city as a whole are materially dependent upon a satisfactory solu- tion of the local traasportation ques- tion “We are further of the opinion that the business and professional men comprising the membership of the or- ganizations represented in this com- mittee, due to their xnowledge of the financial and business questions, as well as the needs und rights of the public, are qualified xnd competent to give fair consideration to all ques- tions involved. “Therefore, it is decided that this body, representing the Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association and the City Club, organize into a committee to be known as the joint committee of commercial and clvic organizations b THE NAVY MEN SEE PROBLEM i EVENING STAR WASHINGTON D.

The construc- tion of a hull which could weather explosions alongside of such force was regarded as practically impossi- ble. Naval men expect to learn many lessons from the bombing tests con- ducted during the month with former German warships as targets.

When it was found that the 1.100-pound bombs dropped in the early morning had failed to damage the protective deck, orders were given to drop on the ship fourteen-inch shells loaded with sand instead of explosive to determine the penetrating power of such projectiles. Three transatlantic NC type planes, which had reached the scene with 1,000-pound bombs, were ordered not to launch them at the target, but to proceed back to the naval base here to-load the shells. Before they could take off, however, the target had been sunk. USE OF MT. VERNON SUNDAYSIS SOUGHT Anti-Blle Law League Fight Backs Sunday Rest, Rec- reation and Religion. As a part of its plan to perpetuate the “American Sunday” as a day of rest. religion and recreation, an in- tensive campaign to open Mount Ver- non on that day was launched by the Anti-Blue Law League of America esterday. ¥ Declaring that thousands of tourists who come to Washington to go through Mount Vernon are greatly disappointed to find it closed on Sun- days, R. E. L. Nell, assistant secretary of the anti-blue law organization, who arrived in this city from Pittsburgh to direct this part of the league's activity, said at his office in the Bond building yesterday: “Nothing More Dignified.” “There certainly could be nothing mo:‘reh dignified, more patriotic or of greater service historically than the opening of Mount Vernon on Sundays. “We intend to carry our fight di- rect to the regents of the old home- stead of Washington, and if the gov- ernment takes over the institution in the meantime, we will carry our cam- paign to such officials as may be g- pointed in charge of the home. e feel that it is a matter that interests American citizenship in general, and especially the youth of the nation.

No more brilliant military spectacle has ever been afforded Washington officialdom than that of the Atlantic fleet and air service forces combined for the recent bombing and gunfire tests which culminated in sinking of the ex-German battleship Ostfries- land. The tests on the Ostfriesland were remarkable in several respects. They were characterized first as “the great- est duel between high explostes Gad armored ships ever staged in the history of the American Navy.” They were attended by the highest rank- ing officials of both the Army and Navy services and by scores of tech- nical and construction men who are charged with closely following any and all developments which will en- able Uncle Sam to maintain a mili- tary power of the highest order. \:::xg"::ngre;sr?en. airplane manu- an facture oreign attaches at- It was the first time in the world's history that any high explosive bomb as large as the one-ton projectile had ever been used in anything resem- bling actual war conditions.

Rocked the target severely. Observers reported none of these hits seriously damaged hull or would have put her out of fighting order, T.N.T. charges probably would have killed or shell shocked deck crews. Two-thousand-pound bombs were used in afternoon. The time and effect of each bomb, indicated by number on the sketch, were as follows: air service, said: “A cold material fact has been demonstrated, namely that heavy aircraft bombs can sink a bat- tleship with indirect hits. We have felt confident of this all along. We do not contend that the battleship will be eliminated, but only that air- craft now constitute one of its dead- liest enemie Maj. Miles, ordnance department, said: “The rivalry which these tests have stirred up between the two serv- ices has done more to stimulate hlgh-' class performance in our bombing ! work than any amount of professional zeal could ever have done. It helped us whip our own bomb problems. Officinls Are Present. Secretary of War Weeks and the chief of staff, Gen.

Forty-eight bills have been passed by the present Congress—one every two days since Congress has been in session—&nd twenty-one other impor- tant bills have passed the House, Rep- resentative Mondell, the House leader, announced in presenting in the House a summary of the legislation handled. ln reviewing the work of this Con- gress Representative Mondell said: * “The Sixty-seventh Congress® was called in extraordinary session by the President on April 11, 1921, primarily for the purpose of considering ques- tions of tariff and taxation. “With the passage of the Fordney tariff bill the House will have com- pleted the consideration of the larger and more difficult of the two major problems presented for consideration this session. “We cannot say just how soon the committee/ on ways and means can prepare and present, and the House pass, a measure revising the tax laws, but the committee on ways and means, notwithstanding the strain and pres- sure it has been under in the preparation and passage of the tariff bill, will proceed at once to_the con- sideration of“fax problems. The ques- tions involved, while tremendously important, are not as numerous as those met in the tariff measure, and we may, I believe, confidently expect that this great and important task will be disposed of at a comparatively early date. Formerly Stood in Recess. “Heretofore it has been almost the universal practice of the Congress to stand in recess, or at least to mark time, while a tariff bill was being prepared. Not so this Congress. Its committees set to work at once. They have worked diligently. The House has been in almost continu- ous session and it has passed more important legislation than has. ever been enacted or considered in the same time under similar circum- stances. “Forty-eight bills have passed both Houses and become laws. That is a bill every two days since the Con- gress has been in_session. It does not include bills in conference, or twenty-one important bills that have passed the House, not including pri- | vate or pension bills. Among the bills that have become laws are such important measures as— “The emergency tariff on agricul- tural products. ‘The immigration restriction bill. “The bill providing for a budget system. “The peace resoluliun “The naval appropriation bill, on which was saved $86.000.000 below the | sum carried by the same bill in the closing days of the last Congress. “The Army _appropriation _ bill, which reduced the Army to 150,000 men and reduced the appropriation $15.000.000 below what the bill car- ried when pocket-vetoed by President Wilson_because it was too low. “The 'bill making provision for an| {additional Treasury deposit ot $25,-, to Kutaia, which was taken by the 000,000 for the Farm Loan Boa ““The bill to facilitate (he organi- zation of corporations to promote ex- port trade. “The bill providing for a much needed consolidation of independent telephone companies. “The bill to provide machinery f the authorized landing of submarine cables.

Passed by the House by a vote of 289 to 127, the Fordney tariff bill was received by the Senate today and was immediately referred toa.the Senate finance committee. Senator Penrose, chairman of the finance committee, announced that public hearings will be held on the i tariff by the full committee beginning on Monday. It is the purpose of the jcommittee to hear first the proponents and opponents of the American valua- tion plan. The committee expects first to hear members of the tariff commission and certain special agents of the New York custom office. The committee will close the hearings upon the American valuation by Thursday, and then take up schedules of the bill in order. In order to avoid duplication of ar- guments, the committee has suggested that persons desiring to present infor- mation relative to the same tariff item agree upon one representative to pre- sent their views. The hearings will be conductad in room 312, Senate office building. Chairman Penrose said that he hoped the hearings would be concluded on { the tariff bill within two weeks from | Monday.
