DEBATE CRONS HIT N THEATER CRSH .t. Pleasant Citizens Adopt Resolution Asking Thor- ough Inspections. Heated arguments over the framing f a resolution regarding the Knicker- ocker Theater disaster marked the /meeting of the Mount Pleasant JCitizens' Association last night at the {Powell School. The discussion arose over the introduction of a resolution by C. D. Marsh, in which the con- truction and inspection of the nickerbocker was openly scored. Judge William Henry White, one ot the directors of the Crandall Theater Corporation, forcibly opposed the resolution, maintaining that the builders of the theater and those who had charge of Its inspection were men of the highest type and that he was ure there was nothing faulty in the construction or in the inspection. To appease those participating in the discussion, an amendment was finally offered to the objectionable esolution, which had been seconded. 'he amendment was accepted and the esolution in its depleted form was ally adopted. Mr. Marsh, in introducing the reso- ution, statéd that it was evident was wrong some- tated that two other theaters were nsafe. Exonerates Two Concerned. Judge White's opinion before the nal settlement was supported by ohn Hunter, who said that the archi- , Geare, and former Building In- Eg’hn He as to blame for allowing such small ay for the men in the office of the uilding inspector. The debated resolution is as fol- ows: “Whereas the recent deplora- le accident in the Knickerbocker ‘heater seems to have resulted from nadequate plans, poor construction, reless inspection or possible negli- ence in all these particulars, and here is reason to think that similar egligence may have characterized the plans, construction or inspection f other places of public assembly in he city of Washington, we hereby rge upon the Commissioners of the istrict of Columbia the importance f an immediate and thorough in- ection of all buildings used as places of public assemblage, to in- sure that they are properly con- struoted and have adequate exits in case of panic, and we urge the sum- mary closing of any piace not prop- erly constructed or having fire exits.” The resolution as adopted had the opening clauses including the two “whereases” eliminated. Dr. Ballou Speaks. Dr. Frank Ballou, supertendent of public schools, addressed the associa- tion on pending legislation for schools, salaries, compulsory atten- dance_requirements and school cen- sus. He pointed out that the present compulsory attendance law allowed a pupil to go to school one day, be ab- sent three days, return a day and so on ad infinitum. He also spoke on the question of health in the schools. His program was indorsed by the as- sociation. Three new members were elected, Mrs. Fannie Moyers Consaul, Miss Tda M. Moyers and Dr. Max Kuhmer- ker. Wiliam E. Rogers, president, presided. ANOTHER TAKEN ON HANDBOOK CHARGE D. R. Parsons Under Arrest. Mr. Oyster Appealed To by Gamblers’ Families. David Roy Parsons, giving his ad- dress as 456 C street, was arrested yesterday. The police alleged he was taking bets in a near-beer establish- ment adjoining the business house of Capt. James F. Oyster, District Com- missioner. “Mumbo Jumb and “Lazy Lou” were among the names of horses said to appear on slips taken from the alleged violator of the handbook law. Parsons had . more than $175 in his possession, the police reported. Parsons’ arrest is the second case of its kind recorded by tne police since The Star’s campaign of pub- Jicity against such persons started. Police are reasonably certain other persons are still engaged in the busi- mess, but are believed: to be exercis- ing more care to prevent arrest than formerly. 1t has been some time since Com- missioner Oyster, known enemy of gamblers and other law violators, has received a communication telling of the harm done families by gamblers. saw in the paper where you were going to try to break up the gamblers in the District,” one young mother wrote him, “and I hope you will take notice of this letter, which is from a young wife who is neglected from having a husband who is a gambler.” After telling where the gamblers were to be found, the yvoung wife wrote: “And if you will look into this it will help me and my baby, and also many other wives and children whose husbands are working as hackers, but are nothmg but gamblers. ‘Writer of another letter included his information to Commissioner Oyster a statement that there were more handbooks made in the vicinity of the District building than in any other section. “Now, my reason for writing you this letter,” wrote the distressed ‘wife,” is that my husband #isits this ace daily and has mortgaged our jome and made us beggers.” The writer of the letter explained she could not sign her name because her husband had warned her not to say anything about the gambling. “But I hope you will take action,” she continued. “Congratulations for your splendid administration, was the message Com- +missioner Oyster recieved. in a letter eigned “Observer.” BURIAL OF MISS THOMAS.

PLAN (Continued from First Page.) united reputlic Lincoln handed down to us and make it the greatest of all nations for all time. The large assemblage rose to its feet and cheered and waved hands and napkins as the President brought to a close what many present voiced as being the most significant speech from a political viewpoint he has delivered since entering the White House. It was termed by many present as the keynote speech to the coming congressional campaigns and it l: expected to have its weight as such. “The republican party has its hand to the plow and is not looking back- ward,” declared William Tyler Page, president of the League of Republican State Clubs, in his remarks of wel- come as presiding officer. “Great problems must be solved, and so con- cerned is the President in the solv- ing of these that he and his advisers have not had time to properly deal with all the Wilson-Tumulty hold- overs who remain unmolested in strategic or jkey' positions In the government sérvice. Solidarity Aswured. “But now that the President can give his attention to these matters, and now that republican solldarity in Congress is assured and party respon- sibility realized the people have a right to expect, according to_their unmistakable mandate, that Wilson- ism and all it implied, not only poli- cies, but all things appertaining thereto, horse, foot and dragoons, i should go. Great problems are in the making, great problems must be solved; and in their making and solu- tion the country intended and expect- ed the app’ication of republican con- structive ability in every position for- merly held by one of the old regime. They are a part of that administra. tion” which the people repudiated, and swhom the people expected would go out of office in like manner as repub- licans were compelled to go out. Party responsibility, as greater ques- tions are disposed of, dictates that soon this administration will be sur- rounded in the key positions by men in sympathy with it and whose fealty to it is unquestioned. The republican party has been the champion of the merit system in the smaller offices, but that party cannot, and ought not, to perpetuate violations of the spirit of civil service law at the expense of victimized republicans.” Lincoln Eulogized. Senator S. M. Shortridge of Cali- fornia delivered an eloquent eulogy in memory of Lincoln, in which he described in detail the rise of the emancipator from his humble begin- ning to the presidency. i Virginia_White Speel, who the republican women in this section during the last campaign; Mrs. Har- riet Taylor Upton, vice chairman of the republican national _executive committee; Senator S.

Moses States Necessity for Raising Amount to Continue Weork. . A call for support of the Travelers Aid Soclety was issued last night by Arthur C. Moses, chairman of the executive board of the society. Mr. Moses said, in ‘part: “We must have $10,000 if the work of the Travelers Aid Society is to continue. Our work is maintained by the voluntary contribution of Wash- ington people, and I want to impress upon the public that $1 and $2 sub- scriptions are welcomed gladly. Many persons have an idea that $1 is too small an amount to contribute. We want that $1—it will go a long way in helping to relieve the dis- tress of some unfortunate. We must depend upon the public for support, and we cannot expect each person to contribute $100. And we need support right now.” John Larner, president of the ‘Washington Loan and Trust Com- pany, has been elected treasurer of the Washington Travelers Aid So- clety, and all contributions will be received by him. The Washington Loan and Trust Company will be de- pository for all the society's funds. Among the contributions which came to the soclety yesterday was one from Jacqueling Archer Stewart, now in Havana, Cuba, and another from J. P. Del Monte, Boston. Mrs. W. Pjerce, secretary-treasurer of the “Marne Unit, American Woman's Legion,” sent a contribution. SUPPLY BILL PASSED. THe Senate adopted the conference report on the Treasury appropriation bjll late yesterday. The bill now goes to the President for approval, the first of the big annual supply bills passed at the present session of_Congress. The Senate receded on its amend- ments providing $500,000 for con- structing_a national archives build- ing in Washington, and also from an amendment providing $1,000,000 for construction of Treasury vaults. SOMONAUTOS STOLEN EVERY DA Speclal Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, February 11.—] than $300,000 worth of automol are stolen in the United States e twenty-four hours—an average | $100,000,000 worth each year—acc ing to figures made public teday by the interstate motor theft commis- sion. The aggregate loss by theft of automobiles is equal to, if not greater than, loss by theft of-all other kinds of property in the United States. s, With, the idea of combating the further growth of this profitable form of lawlessness, the commission, which was formed in 1921, announc that it will continue as a permane; organization, with headquarters at Chicago. It is governed by a board of seven commissioners, assisted by national advisory boards composed of leading police and business exec- utives. In order to check the theft of au- tomobHes, the commission’s report finds, the market for stolen cars must be destroyed. This it proposes to do through a national clearance system, which is now being worked out. y the clearance system records avail- able to all states would be kept of motor car registrations, stolen cars, sales transactions, mortgage and lien récords and other data. It is hoped by this method to pr vent, to a large degree, the registr: tion, sale or use in another state of a car stolen or mortgaged in one state by providing accurate means for quickly detecting changes, alter- ations of ‘the numbers on a car, or forged bills of sale or mortgage. The system is also expected to provide an accurate means of locating the unrecovered cars which have been stolen during the last few years. Motor car owners may now become members of the commission, so that they may derive greater benefit from the’ commission work, it is announc- ed. The commission believes this will bring about unity in action which will help rid the motor car situation of much of the lawlessness that has prevailed during the past two years. | ONE WEEK SALE Baby Carriages Hundreds of fine quality, full size carriages in all styles will go this week at bargain prices.
