DULD RESTRIC STREET VENDORS erchants’ ASsociation ould Bar Them From Down- town Business Belt. ITES NEW YORK POLICY Letter to Commissioners, Says Use of Thoroughfares for Selling Should Cease. A recommendation that the streets nd sidewalks of the business section by cleared of pushcart men and all other vendors was laid before the} Commissioners today by a speciall committee of the Merchants and Man- ufacturers’ Association. The merchants submitted their pro- posal in response to a request from the Commissioners for an expression of opinion as to whether street ven- dors should be further restricted or given more liberties. The other civic hodies also have been asked by the Commissioners to consider this prob- lem and submit suggestions. The special committee appointed by the board of governors of the mer- chants’ association to represent thej organization in the matter is com- posed of O. J. De Moll, chairman, and M. A. Leese, Joseph A. Berherich, Vic- tor E. Desio and Sidney W. Straus. Letter to Commissioners. The letter sent to the Commissioners today by the merchants follows: “It is our be'ief that the public sidewalks and streets in the downtown business belt contemplated from the east side of Tth street to the west side of 15th street and from the south side of Pennsylvania avenue to the north side of K street northwest, should be free from street vendors of every character and kind. “Such a recommendation is in lige with the policy of the city of New York, for example, whose peddlers, vendors, hawkers or hucksters are re- stricted from the borough of Manhat- tan between the hours of 8 o'clock a.m. and 6 o'clock p.m. | “The New York definitions contem plate any one using a motor-driven | vehicle, a horse and wagon, a push-| cart or one personally carrying mer- | ndise. | ‘A_reasonable exception would be | for the sale of daily newspapers when vended on the sidewalk by one per- sonally carrying the same. Tt our belief that the public sidewalks and streets should be av: able only for the traffic of humans| and vehicles and, as above recom- mended, no license should be issued for the sale of merchandise or other | similar pursuit in the business dis- trict as above set forth. “As to whether license should be | i given for the vending of goods, wares} and merchandise in other districts, | this association, composed as it is of business houses, believes that those residing in the residential districts | should make recommendatiol i “In our personal capacities we are of the opinion that the use of public thoroughfares for the sale of any commodity or thing should be stopped. We know of no commodity or class of business that should, in the public interest, have such a privilege. “The streets and sidewalks, owned | and controlled as they are by the| government, federal and District, are; to be used for the common and for no selfish indlvidual interest. “Street venders are a relic of the| age when the buyers had to beware. There Is no legitimate reason why the public should suffer itself to be importuned to trade while using the public streets or sidewalks, nor should the streets or sidewalks be made revolving locations for the set- | ting up of business, particularly in a section of the city now much in de- mand_for transportation on foot and | in vehicles. “In the event that the District Com- missioners, after due and careful con- sideration, should come to the con- clusion that the sale of commodities in general on the streets constitutes public benefit, we submit that there should be zones or places where such traffic could be carried on, said zones or places to be strictly under the supervision of a municipal authority. “But in no event should the streets and sidewalks in their entirety be Made the stalking ground for sellers of commodities or anything else.

Conductor J. Gwin, in charge of the train, was Eilled. PERSONNEL OF ESCORT FOR UNKNOWN SOLDIER TO GRAVE IN ARLINGTON Several changes have been made in the formation of the proces- sion which will escort the body of the unknown American soldier from the Capitol to the Arlington amphitheater Armistice day. The plans as revised provide that the official mourners shall march immediately behind the caisson _bearing the hero's body in the flag-draped, flowe: casket in the following order: President, with his military aide; the Vice President, the Chief Jus- tice, the associate justices, in line; the members of the cabinet, in line; the President pro tempore of the Senate, the senators, eight abreast; the Speaker of the House, the members of the House, eight abreast; a drum corps, the medal of honor men, the American Legion, the Grand Army of the Republic and other societies and groups. The FPresident, the Supreme Court, the cabinct and the Senate and House delegations will leave the column® at west Executive avenue. For that purpose the procession will be halted for five minutes when the caisson reaches the War Dearptment. i The President, Mrs. Harding, military and naval aides, the Vice Presidént and Mrs. Coolidge, the Supreme Court, the cabinet and the Senate and House delegations will proceed to the amphitheater by way of the Highway bridge and the Treasury and McClellan gates. DEMAND CHANGES IN RAILROAD LAWS State Commissions Appear Before Senate Interstate Commerce Committee. The long smoldering movement by Congress for the repeal of the rail- roads’ 6 per cent guaranty provision and also of the Adamson railway wage law was opened before the Sen: |ate interstate commerce committee today, when representatives of the state railway commissioners and ag- Iricultural organizations appeared to urge such change in the railway stat- utes. John E. Benton, solicitor of the Na- tional Association of Railway and Utilities Commissioners, urged enact- i ment of the Capper bill, to restore the original jurisdiction of state railway commissions over intrastate rates and to repeal the 6 per cent guaranty of the carriers. Plan Other Demands. Repeal of the Adamson law was to be demanded later by representatives of agricultural organizations. “It is twenty months since the transportation act was passed,” said Mr. Benton. “It was hoped that it would settle the _transportation problem, but that probiem was never more unsettled.” Senator Cummins, republican, Iowa, committee chairman and part author of the Esch-Cummins act, interrupted to say: “I have never heard of anybody who expected it to settle the trans- portation problem.” Mr. Benton said he would amend his statement to say that it was ex- pected the act would “tend” to settle transportation questions. Rate Powers Scored. Centralization of rate powers in the Interstate Commerce Commission—"a beaurocracy in _ Washington"—was deplored by Mr. Benton, who charged the carriers with “propaganda” to destroy the state commission’s au- thority. Senator Cummins interjected that representatives of the National Rail- road Commissioners’ Association had approved the Esch-Cummins act be- fore it was passed, in its effect on state powers. This was corroborated by Carl D. Jackson of Wisconsin, president of the national association, but he added: “The law, however, has been misin- terpreted by the Interstate Commerce THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, CIVIC BODIES OPEN | IMEMBERSHIP DRIVE Men and Women Registering in Campaign for Pub- lic Welfare. U.S. EMPLOYES SIGNING UP City-Wide Canvass Being Made to Enlist D. C. Residents in Betterment Work. Men and women of Washington are registering today in the citizens' as- sociations to fight the civic battles of their city. The voteless District of Columbia took on the appearance of a voting American city this morning, when registration booths were opened in police stations, fire engine houses and neighborhood business places. Throughout the day volunteers filed into the registration booths and en- listed in the army that is working for the clvic betterment of the National Capital. At noon young women, using auto- mobiles as registration booths, made the rounds of the government build- | ings, signing up those employes of | cle Sam who desired to become workers. The thousands of government work- ers were made familiar with the aims ind purposes of the citizens® assoct tions through literature that was dis- tributed in practically all the de- partments by the chief clerks. Corps of Forty Boys at Work. A. G. Southworth of the Trinidad association headed a corps of forty boys who stationed themgelves at the entrances to the State, War and Navy building, the Munitions building and several of the temporary structures in the Mall this morning and dis- tributed pamphlets to the employes as they entered. Mr. Southworth reported that his boys handed out 12,000 pamphlets. When the departments close this afternoon the registrars again will be on hand to enroll candidates who wish to join. While a large number of new mem- bers signed up during the day in the fire and police stations, these places, it is expected, will be more active this evening. Tomorrow also will be registration day, and those who' do not find time to sign up today will have the same gpportunity for another twenty-four ours. Teams to Begin Wednesday. Beginning Wednesday, teams in each’ meighborhood will’ set out on house-to-house canvassing to sign up those men and women who for any reason were unable to register dur- ing the first two days. “Although Washingtonians are with- out a vote, they still have the right | to petition the authorities for the things they need, and it is through the neighborhood citizens' associa- tions that the right of petition is exercised,” Don H. York, chairman of the Registration week committee, pointed out today. “The larger the number who take part in municipal affairs, the more convineing will be our request for the franchise.” Two Objectives Cited. The executive committee has two particular objectives in view in this campaign. One is to enroll as many women as possible in the citizens' as- sociations, and the other is to arouse the interest of the young men of the city in civic affairs. Heretofore the work of seeking neighborhood improvements has been left largely with the men of settled age in each locality. After this cam- paign, however, the associations hope to have men and women, young and old, working for the city's welfare. “WILD BEASTS” IN SPAIN TO BE SHOT IF FOUND l Commission and the courts, going far beyond the Shreveport decision.” Mr. Benton said now states. masses of litigation. “The states are disabled and the public suffers,” he declared. —_— NO INVITATION EXPECTED.

Chairman Russell has called a_spe- cial meeting of his committee for 2 o'clock this afternoon in the rooms of the Real Estate Board, 1319 F street northwest. It is stated that the pur- pose of the meeting is to co-ordinate the work of the committee so that the listing of rooms will be facilitated. The committee will make arrange- ments for compiling a complete list | for presentation to the War Depart- ment. Mr. Russell states that the response of the citizens of Washington to, the appeal through the press for réoms has been gratifying, and he cited; especially the fact that reasonable | charges have been asked in virtually all cases. A number of residents have patriotically turned portions of their homes over for the use of the nation's guests entirely free of charge. Typical Letter Quoted. One letter, typical of the spirit manifested in this connection, was as follows: “I was a soldier in 1898 and still love my flag and country; so send me one of those heroes. 1 have one nice room and good bed and it will cost the government nothing.” Mr. Russells committee today | sent out nearly 700 postcards to persons who have notified the board of their desire to rent properties for the use of those attending the con- ference on the limitation of arma- ment, emphasizing the necessity for keeping the list of available premises correct.to date. Those who may' have rented their properties since| listing them with the committee were urged to notify the board of this fact without delay, in order that there will be no confusion when the allocation of tenants gets under way. e EXPLODING GUN KILLS.

WRTHS DOWNFALL SLADTO STANES “Power Higher Up” Said to Have Pulled German Wires. BY GEORGE WITTE- By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1f BERLIN, October 24.—The post- ponement of last Thursday's discus- sion of the Upper Silesian crisis until today, and the fall in the meantime of the ministry, contrary to Chance llor Wirth's pledge that he would leave the cabinet's fate in the hands of the reichstag, are generally accept- ed as evidence that Hugo Stinnes, the power higher up” in Germany, pulled ! the wires that forced Wirth out pre- | maturely A Today's session of the reichstag may throw some light on the precise { reasons why last week's meeting was !put off and Chanceifor Wirth com- | pelled to resign, and may show what | parties have formed a coalition that Iwill back the next cabinet. Present indications are that Wirth's |own party, the centrist, forsook him at the eleventh hour, while the only parties that are still with him are the social democrats and independ- ents, although the latter were bit- ed to him when he first Both these parties de- clare openly that Hugo Stinnes, who never liked Wirth, was responsible for his fall, because, according to ithe Rothe Fahne (red flag), the chan- cellor refused to vield to the money king’s wishes to have the whole gov- |ernment delivered into his hands. It is considered likely that Gustav tesemann will be given the post of chancellor or foreign minister, while ithe other positions will be given the parties that withdrew from backing Chancellor Wirth.

CHARGES FLY FAST BETWEEN MILKMEN Producers’ Association De- nies Monopoly Charges. Health Dept. Watches. Charges and countercharges flew fast today between the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers’ Association and local distributors whose supplies have been cut off by the assoclation, while the health department main- tained a vigil to prevent distribution of unlicensed milk to consumers. It was saidi at the department that a complaint has been filed against one dealer on a charge of selling milk pro- cured from an unlicensed source, and that a warrant probably will be issued against him during the day. Health Officer Fowler is confined to his home by illness, and the responsibility of protecting the public in the milk con- troversy has failen upon his assistants. According to statements made by these officials today, a close watch is being maintained at the establishments which have been forced to obtain milk from new sources, but little evidence has been disco ed indicating that unlicensed milk is being 1d. Dealers involved in the controversy with the Maryland and Virginia as- sociation asserted again today that they are having no difficulty in ob- taining licensed milk, and that Washington consumers will not be affected by the suspension of ship- ments from the old sources. They repeated their charges that the as- Sociation is endeavoring to obtain a monopoly of Washington's milk business so that it will be in a posi- tion to regulate $upply and prices. These charges are hotly denied by the association, which presents its side of the squabble in a statement issued today. The dairymen eclaim that certain dealers here are trying 10 destroy their assoctation, and they also charge that the dealers are bringing in large quantities of un- licensed and uninspected milk in violation of the law. PRINCETON MEN PRAISED. Reconstruction Unit Has Done Splendid Work at Soissons. SOISSONS, France, October 4.—The work of the Princeton University reconstruction unit has been com- pleted and the city of Soissons, where the work was done, has decorated the young American architects with medals, cast particularly to com- memorate the spirit which moved fhese young men to volunteer their services to help France in the ardu- ous task of reconstruction. During the course of the summer they have co-operated with the French architects in resurveying sections of the city and the neighbor- ing villages as far north as Hill 108 and Berry-au-Bac, where several American divisions came into action. They have measured up the ruins of some of the demolished buildings and made plans for restoration, but the major part of the work has consisted lof ‘designing new schools and town “halls.
