SUFFRAGE | APPLAUDED BY BUSINESS MEN Head of Senate District Committee In- “dorses National Representat_ion at i Meeting of Board'of Trade. Eight hundred members of the ‘Washington Board of Trhde heard ‘Senator L. H. Ball, chairman of the Senate District committee, heartily indorse national representation for the Distriét of Columbia, at the monthly meeting of that. organis tion last night at the Willard Hote! Chairman Ball stated that he could see no valid objection to a District representative in the House and Sen- ate and in the electoral college. Pro- longed applause greeted Senator Ball at the conclusion of his speech. “At the beginning of the hearings on suffrage for the District,” said the speaker, “I confess that 1 was op- posed to any change in the affairs of the District. Since then I have changed my mind. 1am still firmly of the opinion that there should be no change in the commission form of government. It has shown itself to be the best form of government for American cities. I think it would be a serious mistake to change it. “But I can see no valid objection to the District citizen having representa- tion in the electoral college, which elects the President of the United States, who in turn appoints your Commissioners. And I can see no ob- jection to your having a voting rep- Tesentative ~ in the House and in the Senate. -You will then be rep- sented in the election of T Glways a loyal American and interested in the National Capital, who appoint your Commissioners, and in the Congress which levies your taxes. . Opposes School Folities. - “I do not believe,”, continued” Sen- ator Ball, “that the "school board of the District should be made a politi- cal matter. The school board should Still be appointed by the judiciary. Washington Should have the best and | 1ot able school board in the country:. “Washington is_certainly, in char- acter of citizenship, able to hold its cwn with any state in the Union. The same can be said of the loyalty of the residents of the District, in war and in peace. In war Congress calls on the District of Columbia for sacri- fices the same as the states, and it is bardly fair that you shouldn’t have some say in the body that makes wars. Some people. who are opposed to District representation, say that if senators-and representatives &re clect- ed from Washington they will attempt to dictate to Congress in District af- fairs. If any man that the District elects can be strong enough and elo Quent enough to convince that bod against its will, send him on. We need men like him.” Rising from a sick bed to address ‘the board last night, Senator Ball was accorded 2 hearty reception. The en tire board was elated that the senator hould come out so whole-heartedly for national representation. Advo- cates of this measure—and they num- ber a legion—believe that a definite step forward has baen taken and that before long the goal of united Wash- ington—national representation—will be reached. Indorsed by Mr. Harrison. Representative Thomas W. Harrison | of Virginia, in a brief address, agreed with Senator Ball that the District should have national representation, and said that the time had now come when Washington must be recqgnized. Mr. Harrjson- touched briefly on the agricultural depression and predicted that, with a closer asociation with Washington, the valley of* Virginia would prove a_potent factor in the agricultural and business life of the country. He spoke of the many high- ways which are now being completed to connect Washington and Virginia.- he valley of Virginia, fertile and | beautiful,” swid Mr. Harrison, “wishes} to get in closer touch with Washington. The center of inspiration of Virginia is to work in harmony with the Dis- trict of Columbia.” Representative Frank P. Millspaugh of Missouri, asserted that he was ex- tremely glad to meet the business men of this city and hoped to have a long and pleasant association with them. Reports from the following commit- tees were read and adopted: Bridges, George W. Offutt, jr. chairman: law, Alexander Wolf, chairman: municipai art, Appleton P. Clark, chairman: pub- lic_ schools, William S. Washburn, chairman, and reports on referendums Nos. 37 and 38 of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Urgent Recommendations.

The present bri¥ige is unsightly and is ab- solutely inadequate to take care of the existing traffic. The District Com- missioners have requested an appro- priation of $180,000 to begin work upon this bridge and your commit- tee deems it of the highest impor- tunce that. this appropriation be ob- tained so that the operations looking to the renewal and replacement of this bridge may. be commenced at the earliest possible moment. “The Chain bridge. which connects the District of Columbia and Virginia was designed at the time it was built for traffic entirely different from that which now uses it. While the bridge cannot be said to be absolutely un-. safe, provided the laws are obeyed, yet nevertheless it is entirely unsuit- able for the existing heavy trafc. It is hoped that <ongress will shortly appropriate a sum sufficlent for the construction of a modern bridge to replace the present Chain bridge. “The Klingle Ford bridge, on Con- necticut avenue, i3 another bridge which is subjected to unusuaily heavy traffic and which is. by reason of its construction, ‘unsuitable to modern conditions. The engineer department of the District of Columbia does not consider the bridge unsafe, but, as a matter of fact, when used by heavy vehicles the vibration thereon is ex- ceedingly great. It is suggested that this bridge be replaced as soon == pos- ible. “It is rccommended that legislatior v Congress be requested providing that all balances from specific appro- priations for bridge work may be used for general maintenance and repair, and that. in addition thereto, a sum not less than $30,000 should be asked of Congress for the general repair and maintenance of bridges in the Dis- trict of Columbia. “The early commencement of the erection of the Arfington Memorial bridge is recommende Favored by Law Committee. Four recommendations were madc the committee on law. They are: “Approval of Senate bill 2531—a bili to create a board of accountancy for the District of Columbia. “The committee asks authority to co-pperate with committees from ather organizations in their efforts te have passed for this District a blue sky law. That active’ measures be taken for a conference with the District Com- missioners and the District committees in Congress to the end that an in- crease in compensation may be grant- b; ed to the judges of the Mupicipa: | Court of this city “The committec recommends the erection at the eirliest possible date of a building specially constructed for the requirements of the office o recorder of deeds for the District of Columbi: A special committee of the law com'- mittee was appointed to investigate condltions at the recorder of deed: office. and the report of this special committee will be presented on Jan- uary . Munieipal Art Suggestions. The recommendations made by the committee on municipal art follow ““That Congress be requested to ap- propriate a _suitable sum to have plans prepared for the improvement of the city water front from the rail- road bridge to the War College grounds. “That Congress be requested to enact a law having for its object the encouragement of the erection . of buildings on the north side of Penn- sylvania avenyg from the Capitol to 17th street west, with facadee which in design and materials will ‘meet with the approval of the Fiue Arts Commission. which incentive may con- sist of the remission of taxes on such property for a term of years, or such other form of reasonable sub- sidy as Congress deem .best.” The report of the public school committee calls attention to a recom- mendation adopted by the board of Trade that an appeal be made to Congress for adequate appropriations for schools in the District of Co- lumbia. -The Committee last night recommended that this appeal be sup- plemented by a further request for support of the building program asked by the school authorities to the end that the facilities for the process of education of vouth residing here may be more complete and better adapted to fit a_larger number for vocational as well as non-vocational life work. “The committee referred to the de- lay in the preparation of plans for school building construction. “If this_delay is due ® an fin- adequate force in the office of the Engineer Commissioner of the Dis- trict or to a lack of available funds to employ expert service your com- mittee is satisfied that there is mo disposition _on the part of Congress to withold necessary appropriation for this purpose the report said. “In any event the cause of the delay ought to be determined and remedial measures promptly applied. Tariff Referendum. The report on referendum No. 37 of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce was submitted by a special committee of the board, William Washburn, chair- man. It deals with tariff principles and is in seven parts. The board ap- proved sections 1, 3, 4 and 5 and op- posed sections 2, 6 and - Recommendations of the tariff leg- islation committee of the natlonal chamber which were indorsed by the board include legislation permitting administrative adjustment of tariff rates to meet changing conditions, within limits prescribed by statute; protection of American _industries from destructive foreign competition; retention in principle of the anti- dumping legislation of May, 1921; en- couragement of American _export Bring inltrade in so far as consistent with proper protection for American in- dustries, and legislation designed to meet foreign discrimination against American trade. The board voted against recommen- dations for the creation of a tariff adjustment’ board, for the retention of . the present “foreign valuation” system of levying ad valorem duties, and for the postponement of a gen- eral tariff revision. Referendum No. 38, dealing with the soldier bonus question, bad only just been received by the board, so that a report could not be prepared in time for the meeting last night. It is expected that a specidl meeting of the board will be called to consider this question.. An appeal was made by Odell S. Smith, chairman of the public order committee, to members of the Board of Trade who had been given police power for the arms conference, Or otherwise, to turn in their police ‘badges promptly, inasmuch as all badges had been recalled by the po- lice departmeny. William Clabaugh, chairman of the midwinter dinner committee, urged all members to purchase tickets at an early date and said that it was a mat- ter of first come, first served. When the limit of 600 is reached, he said, poll;-uvely no more tickets will be 50} y i President Thomas Bradley presided. TRIBUTES TO GORGAS.

America’s proposal to define again and make application of the “open door policy” in China, submitted to the committee on the far east of the Washington conference, was ex- plained by Secretary Hughes during a three-hour session of the committee yesterday afternoon. In the' cotirse of the discussion of this fmportant proposal, which wouli bring about a review by an interna- tional ‘commission of existing as well as -~ future.. concepsions—which ‘;nlgh! be In’ violation of the open loor policy—the American plan was accopted in_principle both by the British and Italian delegations. France raised the question as to the advisability of attempting to re- view existing” commitments. Japan declared that the American proposal as containeéd in the Hughes resolu- tion laid before the committee was in consonance with the views of the Japanese relating to the open door, 2:11‘ ‘ideq‘lml tql;flxaminr- the resolution vise wi ¢ taking oo ".l Tokio before taking rne merican Plan Dixclosed. The American plan is to lin United States, Great Bricain Fionee. Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and Portugil in an agreement not to seck special spheres of influcnce in Chinu or to obtain concessions or monopolies which would be violative f the open door. At the same time China is to agree to co-operate in maintaining the open door policy, as defined in the resolution. ot Members of the Chinese delegation expressed the opinion after the meet- ing that the American plan for the practical establishment of the open door was a long step in the right direction and would go far to relisve China of the burdens which she care rles loday because of spheres of in- and_ concess fuence and concessions wrun from s Surprives the Delegates. The American proposal for deall with the open dooF ook the deles Bates 80 by surprise that there was an interval after Mr. Hughes had concluded reading the resolutio which became embarrassing. 1t finally broken by Senator Schanzer, head of the Italian delegatton, rising to ask a question of Mr. Hughes re- garding the plan. General.discussion followed. The principle of Senator Schanzer proposed resolution. was fully in- dorsed by the Italian government, but its delegation did not feel at liberty to go further than accept the American plan in substance. The British made a similar expression, and the Japanese, in turn, declared they desired to co-operate in the open door policy, but must cable the text of the American proposal to Tokio before they could give it approval. Speaking for the French, Albert elgium he open door. aid, and of the Sarraut also indorsed in principle the | open door, but declared he had some misgivings as to the effect of article IV of the American resolution, which would authorize an inquiry into the validity of existing conce sions. He asked Chairman Hughes if that article referred also to conce: sions in the past. Mr. Hughes re- plied that’it did. M. Sarraut’s Comment. AL Sarraut remarked in substance, *hat the article would seem to raise the validity of any or all Chinese soncessions of the past. He ques tioned whether that would not lead to interminable discussion and con- tention before the board of reference. M. Sarraut said after the committee meeting that he was thinking as a|cal authorities” were substituted for jurist of assisting the committee to|“provincial government” in paragraph clarify the subject so that the pre- sise consequences of the resolution might be foreseen and provided for. One of the important questions in volved in the general discussion was said to have been whether the prin- siples set forth would appl¥ to pub- ‘ie enterprises and private enter- prises alike, or only the former. It w suggested in some quarters that this feature would have to be defi- cly determined before the agree- ment could be subscribed to by the Sritish, although they are understood to have accepted the entire scheme in orinciple, because of the millions in- vested by private British corporations in China, notably in coal mines, among which are some of the largest and most valuable in China proper. Japan’s Interests Explained. On the other hand; the Japanese interests in China were said to be mostly public enterprises. and these would be directly affected. The British have government as well as private railroad interests there. It was_ also recalled that the French have private commercial interests and the Yunnan railroad. one of the im- RICKETS Cod-liver oil is the best thing in the world for rickets.

With a view to applying more eftectually the principles’ of the open door-or equality of oppor- tunity in China for the trade and industry of all nations the powers othér than China represented at this conference agree: (1) Not to seek or to support their nationals in seeking any ar- rangement which might purport to_establish in favor of their in- terests any general superiority of rights with respect to commercial or economic development in any designated region of China. (b) Not to seek or to support their nationals in, seeking any such monopoly or preference as would deprive other nationals of the right of undertaking any legitimate trade or Industgy in China or of participating with the Chinese government or with any provincial government in any cat- egory of public enterprise, or which by reason of its scope, du- ration or geographical extent is alculated to frustrate the prac- tical, application the principle of equal opportunity. It is understood that this agree- ment is not to be construed as to prohibit the acquisition of such propertics or rights as may be portant rail arteries in Chin Thls\\ road is among those the Chinese have asked be returned to them. It developed last night when two communiques were issued by the far | eastern committee, one as a supple- ment to that issued last night on the meeting of vesterday, and the other on today’s meeting, that Hughes “had submitted Monday drait of his resolution on the open door, which was formally presented today The draft of the resolution submit- ted Monday was eventually embodied in section 1 of the revised draft presented yesterday, the additions to the latter resulting in part from the discussion of Monday. Sir Auckland Geddes of Great Britain in that dis- cussion suggested that some “simple machinery” be provided “in the way of a court of reference,” to which specific_matters coming within the scope of the resolution could be sub- mitted. Arthur J. Balfour . spoke along smiilar lines, saying he thought tiere was “no representative of any power around this table who thought that the old practice of spheres of in- fluence was either advocated by any government or would be tolerable to this conferénce.” Appreciation was voiced by Secretary Hughes for the suggestions, and it is understood the resulting ‘revision was the result of these suggestions.
