ARCHIVES BUILDING FUNDS REFUSED House Als';) Fails to Concur in $1,000,000 Appropriation for Treasury Vault. The House yesterday refusod to concur in two Senate amendments to the Treasury Department appropria- tion bill, one of which carried $1,000,- 000 for the construction of a vault for the Treasury and the other $500,- 000 for a site and other preparations for erecting a national archives build- ing in Washington. Chairman Madden of the appropria- tions commit:ee strongly opposed the purchase of a site for the archives 1 contending that an ideal lo- on would be at 6th and B stredts, l | | ! vhers the George Washington Me- morial building is under construction. Representative Walsh (republizan) of [ | Massachusetts argued that the time limit has expired during which Con: gress had given the land to the me- morial association and that in point of fact the building is being erected on land to which the association has no right. Explains Memorinl Status. Chairman Langley of . the public buildings committee said that th need for an archives building is rec- ognized, and explained the situation with regard to the George Washing- ton Memorial building as follows “We had a hearing on that very question, and the matter is now under consideration by the committee on pubiic _buildings and grounds, of which I am chairman; and Col. Sher- rill, in_charge of public bulldings and grounds, who represented the Presi- dent at the corner stone laying, ad- mitted that the corner stone was laid without authority of law, the judge advocate general having rendered a ruling that in view of a law subse- quently discovered his previous rul- ing that it was lawful was not cor- rect. He said, however, as the hear- ings will show. that, having practi- cally completed the arrangements. they thought they might as well go ahead with them. We certainly do not intend to au- thorize the beginning of a building that will take a decade to complete unless the government of the United States expends seven or eight million dollars in order to do it, and that is the exact situation with regard to that structure. We have had some experience along that line already, as, for instance, the Washington Monu- ment. 1 am inclined to favor the views of the Secretary of War and the Fine Arts Commission that the pending resolution should be amended S0 as to read that the‘Secretary of War shall have discretionary power to determine exactly how much money shall be subscribed and paid in before the project is started. I think that is the view of the committee of which I am chairman. I might add that representatives of the American Le- gion who have appeared before our committee are opposed to erecting any monument or memorial building for the world war veterans until the sick and disabled are properly provided for and a j compensation law has been enacted. Scores Archives Plan. “I concede that we need an archives building, but we aiso need: other buildings in this country, hun- | dreds of them. The government) business is being transacted in many places under conditions that are dis- graceful to this republic, and if we permit another body to stick in here and there a provision authorizing the construction of buildings that exist- ing law does not permit and has not PRESIDENT’S PRINTER GROUND HOG PREDICTS MORE WINTER WEATHER MARION, Ohlo, February 3.—Cen- tral Ohio is doomed to six more weeks of real winter weather if President Harding’s printer ground hog knows his business. A chattel of L. H. Dennis, make- up man on the President’s paper, the weather prophet took to his hole soon after election day last fall, and had not been seen until yesterday morning. According to Mrs. Dennis and the children, who watched for him, the ground hog emerged from his hole, stretched himself, blinked his eyes and, seeing his shadow, beat a hasty Tetreat. Milk and cabbage had failed to entice him back into the sunlight at noon. buildings here In the capital since 1873. The number is over 250, and of these fires six of them were total losses, and the amount of valuable records that were destroved, especially by the fire of 1851, which destroyed one whole portion of the Congression- al Library, simply is beyond estimate. Ours is the only great government in tre world that does not have an archives building. I leave that with- out further argument as a remark- able statement that nobody will ques- ion. “I think the chairman of the com- mittee on public buildings and grounds will agree with me that there are some buildings that we can eas- ily get along without, and he will agrge with me, I know, that we ought to gather these scattered archives that are some of them in cellars down here in the patent office, where these records have been corroded and total- ly destroved. and we ought to put those records somewhere where a bullding can be erected to preserve em. Agrees on Liguor Amendment. The House agreed to a Senate amendment providing for concentra- tion of bonded liquors in warehouses to be designated by the commissioner of internal revenue. The House agreed to a Senate amendment carrying $7.500 for the salary of an undersecretary of the Treasury during the coming fiscal year, but struck out from the bill pro- vision for an assistant secretary at $5,000. Another Senate amendment waiving existing law which precludes appoint- ment of retired Army and Navy offi- cers receiving retired pay of $2,500 or more a year to the position of di- rector and assistant director of the budget bureau also was agreed to by the House. Other Senate amendments accepted provided $73.000_for improvements at the Boston imniigration station and $11,000 for repairs to the wharf at the Astoria, Ore, quarantine stati e e GIVES HELPFUL HINTS. Dr. Rowe Advises Young Men Who Seek Foreign Service. _Expert advice and helpful sugges- tions to voung men ambitious for for- eign service were given by Dr. L. S. Rowe, ditector general of the Pan- American Union in an address before the Y. M. C. A. last night. The talk s one of a series of lectures on oreizn Service as a Career” to be presented by the association. “Success cannot be obtained with- out an earnest purpose to understand and appreciate the higher and best in the civilization with which you come in contact,” said Dr. Rowe. “With a history often more dra. matic than that of the United State he continued, “and with a literature rich in national characteristics, abun- dant opportunity is offered to the for- eign service man to profit by close contact with culture, which, while different from his own, is full of in- struction and inspiration. Dr. Rowe said the bese Americans _engaged w ing danger in foreign service is the “isolation in which they of authorized, the first thin ve know e oountry dirtroad Tormer oenrlfind themselves abroad and from Sressmien Wil be Enociced oat G2 which they often make little effort public buildings at all, and I am posed to any such procedure as this. Representative Dallinger of Ma: sachusetts reminded members of the House that the national archives building was authorized almost eight Years ago in the last omnibus public buildings bill passed by Congress. After quoting the records he said, in conclusion: So there is no' question about the authority. We not only authorized, but we directed the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase the’ site when the plans were approved. As a.matter of fact, the plans were ap- proved by that commission, and one of the members of the Senate com- mittee on appropriations has a photostatic copy of that approval by that commission; so that the Secre- tary of the Treasury is not only au- thorized, but directed to purchase this sits by existing law, and the only thing that is needed is the ap- propriation of money by the com- mittee on appropriations.” Fess Pleads for Building. Strong argument for the erection of an archives building, to preserve val- uable records now stored in cellars, made by Representative S. D. of Ohio, who said: “I would like to prfsent just briefly the tremendous importance of this proposed building by citing the fig- ures given to the House on June 3, 1916, by myself, on the occasion when we had under discussion this item and when I read (o you the report from the fire marshal of the District of Columbia of the number of fires that they had had.in government ! to_extricate themselves.” William 8. Culbertson, vice chair- man of the Tariff Commission, and ho is a member of the advisory board of the School of Foreign Serv- ice, Georgetown University, presided at the meeting. —_— WILL ELECT OFFICERS.

SCORED ON FLOOR OF HOUSE Representative Moore Declares Better Consideration Must Be Given Washing- | ton—Slashing of Estimates Denounced. Congress must find a way of giving better consideration to the needs of the National Capital, Representative R. Walton Moore of Virginia told the House yesterday. when the District appropriation bill was under discus- sion, with only a score of members on the floor. Representative Moore pointed to the ruthless way in which the District es- timates had been slashed, first by the budget bureau and next by the sub- committee of the House appropria- tions committee, declaring evidence lacking of sood grounds on which these reductions were made and in spite of the testimony of regponsible business men and engineers that the appropriations were needed. He toid his colleagues that their duty under the Constitution demands that they give more conscientious consideration to legislation affecting the District of Columbia. Declared to Be in “Fog.” Representative Moore in fercefully chiding the Congress for neglect to give proper consideration to the af- fairs of the District said: “It cannot be controverted by any- body who is familiar with the facts that the subcommittee on appropria- tions in appropriating for this par- ticular service and many other serv- ioes very heavily reduced the esti- mates made by both the Commission- ers and the budget bureau, and 1 can't find upon what evidence it acted. was no evidencg whatever before the subcommittee eXcept the statement of | Col. Keller, that more money was necessary on account of the impor- tance of the service. “With the exception of two gentle- men who made statements about mat-; ters not really within the jurisdiction of the subcommittee, the only wit- nesses who appeared before it were| Col. Keller and other District officials, and their evidence seems to have had little weight. So as to many impor-} tant matters we are very much in Sl fog as to what we should do in pass-! ing upon this bill “Later on I shail endeavor to show again, as I tried to show day before yesterday, not only the extent to which the committee on appropria- tions have cut the estimates.of the, bureau of the budget but the veryi severe extent to which the bureau of the budget cut the estimates that were sent in by the Commissioners of the District, who know best about the needs and the necessities of the Dis- trict. Two of the Commissioners, all of whom were appointed by President Harding, are among the strongest and most experienced business men in the District and the third is an able Army engineer, taking the place of Col. Kutz, his predecessor, who was a man of equal ability. Viewed in the light of the record, the bill is unsatisfac- tory. And such as it is, the bill gets very limited consideration. The other day five hours were assigned for gen- eral debate and a comparatively small percentage of that time was given to ths discussion of the bill. ~Almost everything on the face of the earth and above the earth was discussed— because there was an elaborate speech on a proposed air service—to the ex- Waterfield of Ohio for'the negative.

Suggests Different Procedure. “All of this inclines me to the conviction that we must try to dis- cover some better method of pro- cedure In governing, as we are charged by the Constitution with the exclusive duty of governing, the District of Columbia. I doubt ex- tremely whether the budget system should have been applied to the Dis- tract. I doubt extremely whether the location of all appropriation jurisdiction in a single committee is properly applicable to the Dlstrlct_ of Columbia, and at some ti: 1 shall | do what I have ever hopéd o(her‘ men will do, try to suggest methods of procedure in substitution for those now in exlste‘nge :hat B.re“l(tll‘” from ducing satisfactory res nr&eprau%nfltlve Fred N. Zihlman of ryland, & member of the legis- fi:hse committee on the District, dur- ing debate emphasized that it the present bill is passed, instead of pay- ing a 50'52 proportion, nse;o: ;r‘:)ozsl century, or ev - than 2 het as dul?;nx i the cmurr:gt ear, the federal governm gv‘xfi‘beypaylng less than 30 per cent of the cost of keeping the National Capital a going concern. He also emphasized that instead of a 1.75 tax rate, as claimed by the chairman of the subcommittee in charge of the bill, the tax rate this year is 1.8 and last year was 1.95. Improvements Should Be Allowed. eprésentative Zihlman, in response toRq?lestlona. argued that the people here want the municipal improve- ments, are willing and able to pay for them and that Congress should | let thomnhlvem!uch needed improve- . He sald: mfilnl:m taking into consideration that at a 2-cent rate fifteen millions will be ralsed from real estate, tangible personal and intangible property; there will be raised from taxation on real estate alone more than $12,- 000,000, and the miscellaneous receipts will swell it to more than $15,000,000, so that the federal government, this bill is passed, instead of paying 50 per cent, as they have for the past fitty years, will be paying less thai 30 per cent of the expenses of con- ducting the District of Columbia. “There was submitted to the Dis- trict Commissioners a report made up in the office of the auditor which showed that they could raise $15,- 000,000, and this bill carries only $20,000,000. My contention is that the needed improvements in the Dis- trict, both those cut out by the di- rector of the budget and some of those that have been cut out by the sub- committee, should be put in, because people of the District have the prop- erty and they are able to pay taxes to pay for those improvements. “] think when the President of the United States is appealing to the heads of the departments to go ahead with needed improvements in an at- tempt to solve in me degree this question of unemployment and actual distress in the nation it is a very short-sighted policy -to strike from proportion, this bill many important needed im- provements, and one of the improve- ments that has been dropped was an estimate for the rebuilding of the Calvert street bridge, one of the most dangerous structures in the city. That bridge shakes every time an auto- mobile goes cver it. An estimate of $180,060 was struck from this bill. Street Estimates Pruned. “For street improvements there was asked for by the Commisioners a sum total of more than $800,000, and when finally this bill reaches the floor of the House we find a paltry $133,000 to carry on new street improvements in the District of Columbia for the period of twelve months. The contention I make is that under this low tax rate that has been referred to by the gen- tigman from, New Yorrk, that under & low tax rate on intangible prop- v referred to by the gentleman frem Indiana (Mr. Dunbar) here a while ‘ago, the District of Columbia by this im- provements could be carried on dur- ing this fiscal yaer without any great hardship being placed upon the peo- ple of the District and the federal ogvernment not bearing a proportion of the expense greater than that car- ried for more than fifty years, or not as_mucl Representative Zihlman and Repre- sentative Moore both argued with members of the subcommittee regard- ing the elimination of the proposed appropriation of $3,000,000 for build- ing a new conduit to give Washington an adequate and safe water supply, although recommended by the budget bureau. Representative Moore put into the record correspondence he had with Maj. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, chief of engineers, which shows that the safety of the city and of the gov- ernment establishment here demands that this water supply should be af- forded. Representative Zihlman reminded the House that “the Senate and the House of Representatives have on sev- eral occasions passed upon the project of the building of an additional con- duit and the providing of additional water supply by roll call and by rec- ord vote, and they have indicated that they want this continued. They ap- propriated, first, $25,000 in the bill pro- viding for the appointment of the wa- ter power commission, for the survey, for the making of preliminary plans, and then Congress by a record vote in both bodies appropriated an additional sum of §$200,000 to continue the pre- liminary work and initiate the actual construction.” In the recent xtorm mechanies at SKIS USED BY AIRPLANES UNDER SNOW CONDITIONS Army Air Service at Bolling Field Makes First Attempt Here and Finds It Successful. Heavy snows making airplanes quipped with wheels practically use- ess, as far as “taking off” and land- ings are concerned, the Army air service at Bolling Field yesterday de- vised the plan of effixing skis to the planes, which, when tried out, proved a great success. Although this plan has been carried out before in northern sections of the continent, it is the first attempt of its kind in this vicinity. There is no standar@ equipment of i the attachable ski, the plan and manufacture of which were by Lieut. W. K. Burgess, supervised by Maj. Martin F. Scanlon, commanding otticer. The skis were affixed yester- day to a Curtis-8, and after the big propellors were set _in motion the plane, steered by Lieut. Burgess, glided over the ice and snow at ever- increasing speed, and in a few sec- onds rose frem the whitened surface into the air. In landing, the plane experienced no trouble either, and as the plane descended the pliable ski glided and bounded a bit over the snow and after a few glides skimmed | along until it was brought to a stop near a hangar. Arrangements have been made for adding the ski to other planes, for which a Fokker is under considera- tion. FIVE KILLED IN STREETS. | Reports of Capt. Albert J.

A compulsory snow-cleaning law for householders and owners of business establishments Is asked by President Philllp King of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers’ Associa- tion in a letter to Representative Focht, chalrman of the House Dis- trict committee. 1In his letter Mr. King polnts out the unsatisfactory conditions which now exist in Wash- ington, in spite of the fuct that the snow ceased to fall more than five days ago. Although all meetings of the asso- clation have been called off on ac- count of the Knickerbocker Theater disaster, Mr. King asserts that he fecls a sense of responsibility in urging upon the House committee speedy actlon of this matter. Text of Letter. Mr. King's letter follows: “It has been five days since the cessation of the recent big snowfall, and still sidewalks are covered up with snow, gutters are dammed with snow, S0 as to make ponds of the| city streets; street crossings are run-, ning with water and slush and, in’ general, locomotion for the pedestrian is not only a hazard, but constitutes a decided health menace. “The condition of the streets with their snow and ice hummocks is cer- tainly a sad commentary on any com- munity, much less the National Capi- al. H “Surely the need is great enough | for immediate action in the passage | of a law enforcing the cleaning of snow and ice, not only upon the busi- ness house and the householder, but | certainly arrangements should be; made whereby the District Commis- | sioners could meet such-an emergency | as just arose. The same sort of emer- gency fund could be employed in ad- | ministering to the needs of the public | in the event of some other unusual happening. } 2,192 QUAIL SAVED FROM STARVATION AS SNOW COVERS FOOD Police of the four outlying precincts this week’ fed 2,192 quall. Because of the deep snow, Inspector Daniel Sulli- van, acting superintendent of police, realized the difficulty the birds would | experience in an effort to find food enough, and directed that a census be taken to determine the number of birds 10 be fed. i The.eleventh precinet police reported | the presence of 780 birds in the Ana- | costla section, 865 were recorded by police of the seventh precinct, 188 in, the ninth and 269 in the tenth precinet. Mounted policemen fed the birds with | feed supplicd by the Department of | Agricultare. It "is believed that few | birds perished in the storm. HURT IN MOTOR MISHAPS.
