Chairman Ailes explained that while . the total was not as large as it was anticipated, he and his fellow com- mitteemen ' were well pleased with the enthusiastic response being made. He stated that his committee is ex- pecting to obtain liberal subscrip- tions from the theaters and motion picture houses and from a number of .hotgls and public cating places, which classes of business have as vet not made the response expected. _ Quite a number of promises have been made to Townley McKee, in charge of the hotels and cating places, and Roland Robins, in charge of the the- - dters and motion picture places, and the finance committee expects a large number of these concerns listed among the subscribers before the end of the week.

Frank M. Sterrett of Troy, Ohio, is said to have ready for presentation at one of the business sessions, probably today, a resolution which would pro- vide for what it terms the “last will and testament of the G. A. R.” Pro- vision would be made for disposition of all the property of the Grand Army when the last members are gone. First Business Session. Although the encampment started informally Sunday, the first business session was not held until today. Com- ages at He in Bible mander-in-chief William A. Ketcham of Indianapolis ‘planned to call the delegates from the various posts to order this mornin 'he commander- in-chiet's address and reports from other officers will be the principal features of the morning program. Regimental and brigade reunions will occupy mlch of the time today. Varlous meeting places have been des- ignated for these reunions, which, it is etpected, will bring together many comrades of the battlefields. While the veterans are meeting a number of allied organizatiohs will also be in session. The Sons of Vet- erant will open_their fortieth annual encampment. The Woman's Relief orps will hold its first business ses- sion. The Union Prisoners of War organization will meet and the Sons of Veterans Auxiliary will be in se: sion. Prepare for Parade.

It is realized that dhere are in the government depart- Inents a large number of men and f.women who have been accustomed to ,handling, work of the most confi- . dential. nature, stenographers, type- ; writers -and - secretarial assistants in general, and that their services would be valued by.the American delegates 1o the conference. The idea, if it is acceptable to the heads of the departments with whom negotiations are now under way, would be to transfer the clerks tem- porarily with the consent of the Civil Service Commission to the positions. It is thought that sixty or more stenographers and clerks could thus be utilized. It is obvious that the work will be of such a highly con- fidential nature at times that tried and reliable employes must be ob- tained. ‘. The State Department is deluged with applications from people who would offer their services in all kinds f capacities for the conference. 'hese applications come from all sec- ions of the country as well as from MWashington and from people in many fwalks of life. .. ‘The State Department haé received from Dr. James Brown Scott, secre- tary of the Carnegie Endowment for dnternational Peace, information ers and harbors congress follows: “Action recently taken by the board is interpreted by the business interests of Washington, as repre- sented by the citizens' associations and commercial organizations of the city as indicating an intention on the part of the board to decrease immediately, and possibly ultimately entirely pro- Libit, the use of the water front on the Washington channel for commer- cial purposes. It is possible, of course, that the intentions of the board have been misinterpreted, but we desire to respectfully submit some facts which should be taken into con- sideration before final decision is made in the matter, . “Expenditures by the federal gov- ernment for. the improvement of waterways and harbors are justified by the fact that such improvement tends to increase interstate and for- eign commerce. According to the latest published report of the chief of engineers, the expenditures made by the government for the improvement of the Potomac river at Washington had amounted, up to June 30, 1920, to $3,564,885.85. “The records kept by the Corps of Engineers show that for the fiscal years 1887 to 1905, inclusive, 12,636,- 595 tons of traffic were handled into and out of Washington by water. During this period no figures are available as to the value of water- borne commerce. For the years 1306 to 1919, inclusive, the tonnage amounted to 11,405,755 tons, valued at $161,980,822. The total tonnage from 1887 to 1919, inclusive, was 24,042,350 tons, the value of which was prob- ably somewhere in the neighborhood head of the H. C. Roome Post, No. 42, ot Florida.

FITZGERALD, Ga.. September 27.— The order of the B! founded in 1895 by sever: members of the Grand Army who mi- grated from the nortn and west to spend their declining years in the land they fought to conquer in the sixtles. The pleasant assoclation between the southern natives and the northern newcomers led to the formation of the Blue and Gray. The principal munici- pal park in Fitzgerald *is named in honor of the order. The town takes its name from the then editor of the Indianapolis Tribune, who organized the colony company. SCHODLS HAYHAVE PUBLITY BUREL the Franklin School, administraticr Creation of a publicify bureau at ! A resolution was adopted at the con- vention appealing to the miners’ or- ganization, numbering about 400,000, to throw its support behind the cam paign of the machinists’ union to ob- ain “a decent living wage,” for the 700,000 civilian navy yard workers in the country, 7,000 of whom are em- ployed in the Washington yard. The resolution declared that if the gov- ernment will not voluntarily agree to reopen the wage controversy it should be compelled to do so by the force of public opinion. 014 Principle Abrogated. It was pointed out in the resolution that September 16, 1920, the Navy De partment established a principle that October 1 of each year any new wage scale for the ensuing calendar year should be adopted. This year, how- eve: t said that Secretary Denby di- rected that the old principle be ab- rogated, despite the wage agreement signed under Secretary Danlels, which was to continue to January 1. It was further stipulated that America crit- icised the soviet government of Rus- sla for denying responsibility for the |} obligations of the csar's government, and that the people of the United States do not want to repudiate obli- gations of the past administration. “This administration,” the resolution said, “has no moral right to renig on the previous administration's obliga- tion.” Average Private Pay, 91 Cen The resolution also declared that private employers of high-class me- hanics have not reduced wages, and Iit the average high pay for ma- Ledoux thought it was shameful to close the municipal lodging house at such an early hour and to make it illegal for a person to use the park benches at night. “The only chance one would have in Washington after 10 o'clock,” he said, “would be o let himuelf be ar. rested %o as to lay down in & cell. It is the only chance unless he just keeps on walking the streets or succeeds in panhandling the price of a bed, Mr. Ledoux sald today that he in- tends to make the acquaintance of the members of the District board of charities and the governing board of the Associated Charities. To them he will narrate his experiences and will make some suggestions for improving conditions here. Grateful to President. That Ledoux was grateful for his opportunity to tell the chief executive of his thoories regarding the unemploy- ment problem was plainly evident when he walked from the Presidegt's office and was surrounded by newspaper cor- struction, in mining and in shipping.

Py the Associnted Press. 0KIO, September 26.—The Wom- Association for the Cultivation nal Friendship, by ar- made with the govern- ment, is sending Mrs. Hidekao Inouye, one.of the founders of the associa- tion; to Washington as an adviser of the official delegation to the arma- ments and far eastern conference. 1t is reported that the government ;had abandoned its idea to send to -Washington as an adviser of the for- ‘eign_delegation.. Gen. Banzai, who has been military adviser to the Fres- sident of China. i\ ‘The newspapers declare that the jarmy was opposed to Gen. Banzal, be- illeving that Lieut. Gen. Tanaka, for- ‘mer’ minister of war, as head of the ‘army delegation, will suffice. ' They swoint out that the selection of Gen. $Banzai caused unfavorable comment in China because of the confidential “nature of his position in that country. § ——ee TO.HAVE CENTER PARKING. ‘North Carolina Avenue Southeast rangements but the amount and the value of the total water-borne commerce of the city 18 certainly sufficiently large to warrant very careful consideration before any action is taken which will interfere in any degree with its pre ent freedom and its future develop- ment. “In the calendar year 1919 the total tonnage of commerce at Washington was 1,111,959 tons, the value of which was $24,918,557. Of this tonnage 65 per cent consisted of sand, gravel, brick and stone, materials which are used in the construction of buildings and the improvement of streets; 22 per cent consisted of coal, oil and cord wood, materials which are used for fuel, both in homes and in factories, and for the production of gas and electricity. “It appears then that no less than 87 per cent of the total tonnage con- sisted of materials which are of fun- damental importance to all the peo- ple of the city. Any decrease in the total supply or increase in the cost of these articles will interfere with the construction of homes ang the ex- war, and will add to the cost of living, which s still far too high. “Parks and boulevards are no longer regarded as a luxury, but as a n cessity. It would be absurd, how- ever, to make the entire District of Columbia into a great park, threaded with boulevards and dotted here and there with government buildings, and so compel the present population of the District to find homes outside of its borders. It is respectfully sub- mitted that it is inadvisable and un- necessary to carry plans for the beautification of the city to an ex- tent which interferes with commerce and makes the conditions of life for the people of the city more difficul No one is in condition to enjoy the beautiful things of life until the n cessities of life have been provided.” The letter is signed by John H.

Following an exhaustive investiga- tion into the finding of liquor at the house of Engine Company No. 1, on Prince street, & grand jury that made a probe into the fires that occurred here September 10 late yesterday riously considered, it was announcéd today in a statement issued by Supt. Frank W. Ballou. The superintend- ent's statement read: “The school authorities are thor- oughly appreciative of the public service which the press of Washing- ton_ renders in providing the public with_school news. During the last school year the press was an impor- tant agency in informing the public and Congress of the necds of the schoois. A share of the credit for the securing of the $2,000,000 building program will be generously accorded to ‘the press by any one who reads the school news from day to day and from week to week. Will Give Understanding. “With a view of informing the pub- lic more fully of the work and needs of the achools, the school authorities are considering the desirability of having the various school officers pre- pare brief accounts of work under their direction for- the use of the press. It is probable that such ac- counts will be assembled in some have easy access to them. count will probably carry the name of the officer preparing it, so that he may be interveiwed by a reporter if desired. This plan-would place at the disposal of the press school news not now readily secured because not all officers have offices at the Franklin School. It would give each officer an opportunity to acquaint the public with the work under his supervision. 1t would give the public a b T derstanding of the schools, their work and their needs.” CABINETTARES UP IERATN Immigration was the paincipal sub- ject. considered at today's cabinet meeting, it was stated this afternoon. The -government finds itself embar- rassed by a persistent tendency to bring in immigrants in excess of the number allowed under the present law. The administration will endeavor to meet this embarrassment by deal- ing with the situation on the other side of the water and to correct the evil at its source, through regula- tions as to the availability of immi- grants for admission to this country. There is a tendency also to evade the regulations by letting in immigrants standard of living, because some em- ployers of lower-class mechanics had reduced wages. If the navy yard mechanics were given a wage that would provide them with the identical standard of living before the war, the resolution further declared, they would be paid about 91 cents an hour for a forty-eight. hour week. Would Only Provide Living. These wages, it said, would provide only a bare subsistence, with no allow- ances for savings or luxuries. Plans for lining up other labor or- ganizations in the country in fighting the wage cut in the navy yards also were discussed by the delegates to the con- vention, which will continue through- out the week. It was said that virtually all of the delegates have been instruct- ed by the organizations they represent to favor all plans which are believed to offer some possibility of causing a re- adjustment of the reduced navy yard wage scale which was put into effect September 16. During_the afternoon session yes- terday Western Starr spoke on - the blamed the private control of the credit system for present conditions of unem- ployment.

Residents in this commu nity, it was announced today by E. H. Pullman, are preparing a brief citing the lack of school accommodations, which they will present to the com- mittee. Appeals of the Manor Park resi- dents for emergency school facilities in their communit Pullman said, were turned down, Notwithstanding a two-page appeal, sald Mr. Pullman, “the superintendent replied with an eight-line letter suggesting a con- ference, although numerous confer- ences with other officials were with- out result.” Bdard Considers, Mr. Pullman added that Dr. Abram Stmon, president of the board of ed- cation, and . several other members of the board are giving consideration to the placing qf emergency schaol facilities in Manor Park. In a com- of the apecial studi Whether or not he is appointed an official delegate he proposes to re- main in the capital at least until the conclusion of the conference. He said it was likely that he would be joined by some of his “army of un- mployed” or “human documents, they have been referred to. He in- timated that one or two auto truck loads of them would arrive shortly, but he stated with emphasis that he had no intention of staging any so- called picketing of the White House or Capitol, or the unemployment con- ference, as has been rumored in con- nection w the coming of these men. He sald that w lieved their presence might have a certain good effeot, he did not favor picketing or spectacular demonstra- tions or any other performances where there was no_likelihood of achieving desired results.
