Washipztonians who show ability to nffer copstructive suggestions for re- lieving. the parking situation at to- morrow's hearing before the District Commissioners in &ll probability will be asked to participate in the traffic safety conference which Commissioner Oyster will call next week. The District heads want constructive m of the whole traflic problem. £ is 2 comparatively minor hase of the problem. The major k is to find means of checking ac- cidents, which are maiming and kill- ing citizens of the capital at an alarm- ing rate. }_ Indications are that the entire traftic regulations will be held up to ex- haustive scrutiny t they m undergo revolutionary cha before with the inquiry starting tomorrow respect to parking is finished. Law Has Few Friends. It appeared certain today the new parking rule, which prohibits ¢ ing vehicles in front of entra buildings in the business . will find few friends at tomorrow's hwaring and in all probability will be amend- ed by the Commissioners at their v board session, Friday. The Commis- <ioners are convinced already that the public does not want this regulation. at they are hoping is that thos attend the hearing will have actical suggestio st way to haudle the parking prob- lem in-the congested section. Conrad H. Syme, former corpora- tion counsel of the District, who h made a careful study of traffic con- expected to prove a star of the constructive type. He appear for the advisory board of the District the Americ tion. The position of the board there has been protest enough and constructive criticism should be of- fered. 1t is expected Mr. Syme will submit definite recommendations for parking rel Hotels to Be Excepted. It is_considered probable the Com missiofiers will not strike out of the zew rule the provision that the en trances to hotels shall be kept clear. Complaint has been made by hotel: that, under existing conditions, guests frequently are unable to drive up fo the entrances on account of vehicles being parked there. For the same reason difficulty has been experienc- ed in getting bagsgage into and out of the hotels. The Commissioners be- lieve it is essential to the conduct of i hotel business that the entrances to the buildings shall be clear at all times for the convenience of guests arriving and departing, and it is not likely they will make any change in the new regulation which would not sccure this privilege to the hotels.

BLANTON BLAMES GOMPERS. Denies Obscene Remarks and Charges Conspiracy to Oust Him. By the Associated Press. WHEELING, W. Va.. October 26.— Thomas L. Blenton, democrat, of the seventeenth Texas district, whom the House was asked to expel by a res- olution “presented by Representative Mondell, _republican leader, on a charge of having caused to be pub- lished in the Congressional Record statements that were “obscene and un- vrintable,” denied in a speech last night before the Wheeling District Industrial Relations Association that there was any obscenity in his re- marks. Refe-ring to his speech in the House, :ir. Blanton said: “Any woman or child could read all that 1shave printed without a single blush of shame.” Mr. Blanton said he would fight the expulsion charge to the bitter end. “I bave not been a fighter heretofore.” he said. *“But from now on I will fight to 1he utmost. No one can say I have hit Velow the belt, nor will I begin that sort of fighting now.” The representative, in a speech on ,ompers’ Strangle Hold on Our Gov- ernment Must Be Broken,” said Samuel Gompers was at the bottom of the charges made against him.

A subcommittee of the House Dis- | trict committee was today appointed to conduct a hearing relative to the milk supply of the District. This com- mittee consists of Representatives Lampert of Wisconsin, Millspaugh of Missouri, Sproul of Tllinois, Hammer of North Carolina and Kunz of Illi- nois. Chairman Lampert said he would endeavor to arrange for the hearing ito start tomorrow morning in the House District committee rooms. The hearing was asked by M. ! | i | O'Brien, an attorney, who said he rep- resented the distributors of 65 per cent of all the milk consumed in the District. Statement by Mr. O'Brien. Mr. O'Brien said that for a dozen years or more there have been bills hefore the House District committee {attempting to build a wall around the District, so that nearby producers could {fix the price of milk and force Washing- {ton consumers to pay a bigher price {than anywhere else. This is not in the interest of publia health, Mr. O'Brien said. He criticised a group of fad.lists and scientists who have been attempting to get prohibitory regula- tions. In reply to questions by Chairman Focht, Mr. O'Brien said that there is {no law of supply and demand opera- tive regarding the milk supply in the District. All we want is an open market," he said. He criticized what he called “‘crazy regulations” of the health de- partment. He said that those whom he represents desire to comply with proper and necessary regulations made to insure the purity of the milk in the District. Fowler Hopes for Mediation. . Hope {ur a settlement of Washing- ton’s milk war rested today largely with the District health officer, Wil- liam C. Fowler. After a conference jwith local distributors yesterday ':l!u—rnoon. Dr. Fowler this morning heard the producers’ side of the con- troversy. Out of the facts presented he expected to construct a possible basis for mediation. Dr. Fowler's control of the milk situation ends with his authority to see that milk consumed here comes up to required standards, but in this official both distributors and pro- iducers recognize an impartial judge, {having only the public’s interests at Iheart, who may be able to iron out their ' differencés. “My interest, first and last, is in {the public.” said the health officer itoday. “The present situation does not hold.the menace of a milk short- age, but the public's interests will be served when there is a resump- {tion of normal relations between those who distribute milk here and nearby producers in Maryland and Virginia. I have heard the distrib- utors’ grievances and will discuss tFem in detail with the producers. If either side has taken an unreasonable | position I shall point it out and en- {deavor to bring the two groups into working relations again.” ‘West Virginia Milk Available. Dr. Fowler said arrangements have been completed for shipment into the District of licensed milk from i West Virginia. There is little doubt, e said, that dealers, whose supplies ave been shut off by the Maryland- Virginia Milk Producers’ Association will be able to obtain licensed milk from other sources and supply their customers with normal deliveries for an_indefinite period. While there is no danger of a milk shortage, health officials can see no advantage in a situation which would compel the Maryland-Virginia asso- ciation to seek a market outside the District and local dealers to obtain | their supplies from such distant { sources as West Virginia and New { i York. They believe that the District logically should obtain its milk from Maryland and Virginia farms, and { this'can come about only through the { restoration of relations between local { dealers and farmers in those states. :PLAYERS OF ARTS CLUB i GIVE TWO PRODUCTIONS Rooms Filled to Capacity for Opening Bill—To Be Re- peated Tonight. Evidence of the need of extension of the program in the production of | plays at the Arts Club was afforded ilast evening on the occasion of the opening bill of the season by the “players’ group” of that organization, under the direction of the dramatic committee. The rooms were filled to | capacity, despite the notice that had been given that the productions would be repeated this evening. In ac- cordance with that notice, the dra- matic programs of the club will in- clude two plays monthly, each bill given twice. The plays presented last night were “The Little Shepherdes: by Andre Rivoire (by mistake heretofore ac- ! credited to Francois Coppee), and | “Back of the Yards,” by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman. The former is a dainty pastoral from the French, the latter a gripping drama of today in Chicago. In “The Little Shepherdess” a trio of the younger members of the players’ group appeared to advan- tage, Miss Farnum, Miss Hayes and Miss Herforth. Mrs. Bleyden ren- dered incidental music. “Back of the Yards" gave wider op- portunity to a more experienced cast, including Mr. Jarvis, Mr. White, Mr. Burton, Mrs. Hunt and Miss Murphy. Though presented, as are all of the plays in the Arts Club, immediately in touch with the audience, in difficult conditions, the effect of the finished work of this quintet was marked. The plays were presented under the direction of Finley S. Hayes, vice chairman of the dramatic committee. The November bill, to be given on the evenings of the 29th and 30th of that month, will, as at present arranged, comprise “Pater Nostre,” by Francois Coppee, and “The Florist Shop,” by Winifred Hawkridge. The performance tonight, as all others, will be open to attendance only by members of the Arts Club and t::eh- guests bearing cards of invita- tion. LAW SCHOOL ELECTS. John A.
