. WONEN ONKNEES "3 e, Mrs. ‘Mary Baulhaus Com- plains of Eleventh Street - -~ -Service. Complaint “against "the one-man cars operated on 11th street south- west and against the service on-that line was made by Mrs. Mary Baul- haus, at a meeting of South Wash- ington Citizens' Assoclation last night in Jefferson School. Mrs Baul- haus complained that the lower steps of the cars make it necessary for some women to kneel on the first step as a.jirel{minary move in enter- ing the ears.“ . ... .. . Mrs. Baulhaus' complaint was re- ferred to the public utilities commit- tee. Charles A Baker, president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, and H. F. Lowe, D. H. York and H. V. Speelman, delegates to the parent organization, appeared as members of a committee of the federation to ex- plain why they thought it necessary for all associations to become mem- bers of the federation. The South Washington assoclation last month voted to withdraw from the federation, and the committee’s visit was for the purpose of making an effort to induce members to re- consider its action. President Baker and Mr. Speelman exypiained the aims of the federation and said each body needed the help of the other. They explained that the federation crys- tallizes and formulates the wishes of the people of the entire District, act- ing as a clearing house for the forty associations belonging to it. Con- fusion and demoralization usually re- sult from failure to have concerted action, President Baker stated. Admits Change of Mind. George M. Yeatman, president of South Washington cltizens frankly admitted he had changed his mind on the question. Practically eyery member in attenaance favored re- turning to the assoclation, and the question will be definitely determined at_the next meeting. R. C. Smith called attention to the dropping of hundreds of navy yard employes and said he thought the association should communicate with the Secretary of the Navy and ask for a distribution of the funds In such manner as to retain the greatest number of employes. vashington cannot absorb the 0 men discharged from the serv- he declared. Martin Wiegand gave hearty ap- proval to the suggestion. No private business man would do what the gov- ernment did with the navy yard em- ployes, he said. Business men would continue the employment of faithful employes who had been in their serv- ice for years or would give them am- ple notice of an intention to drop them. Make Home Payments. Many of the men employed in the navy yard are making payments on homes, Mr. Wiegand stated, and theif sudden dropping from their employ- ment _probably will mean the loss of what they have invested. He thought the government should do something for these men. Mr. Smith’s suggestion was put in the form of a motion and passed. On motion of James Gordon, the as- sociation voted an indorsement of the Capper bill providing free textbooks for ‘pppilg in the high echools.

At every village the governor addressed the inhabitants, appealing to them not to heed stories and promises of the revolutionists. Among the towns visited were Guerrero, La Junta, Temosaclac, San Antonio -and S8an Geronimo, all on ‘the line of march of Gen. Per- shing’s expedition into Mexico in 1916. At S:u Geronimo Jose M.

Although members declined to dis- cuss this proposal, it is understood that such a recommendation probably will be made, along with the further proposal that the number of men to be admitted to the academy each year be reduced from five to two, for each member of Congress. Secretary Denby proposed that the reduction be cut on a congressional aliotment from five to three. e ‘There are about 540 members of the first class, all of whom :naturally expected to be sent to sea. com- m class be dropped, declared final deei- this question would be reathed at the earliest possible time in order to let midshipmen know’ whether they could expect to.remain on the government pay roll ‘While the committee continued yes- terday to hear naval experts teil of the needs for the next fiscal year un- der what they described as “the treaty navy,” Housé members. were canvassing among themselves In an effort to.find how much could be cut from Secretary Denby’'s estimate of $350,000,000 for the next fiscal year. On all sides ls was admitted that the drive for a reductlq' from trat figure was gaining headway, although many leaders insisted that to cut much un- der the Denby estimate would put the Navy below the ratio rating fixed by the arms conference. Navy Bill Figures. The figure most persistently men- tioned as the most probable to be set by the appropriations committee, which will frame the navy bill, was $250,000,000. “There were many clalms by “little navy men” demanding dras- tic cuts that the House, at least, would not stand for more than $200,000,000. In asking for $350,000,000, Secre- tary Denby explained that this amount would give the Navy an en- listed personnel of 90,000, or 10.000 less than fixed by the last appropria- tion bill. Nobody in authority was prepared to say ofthand what the en- listed personnel would be if only $200,000,000 wak authorized, although all agreed it would scrap the “treaty Navy,” and give it an actual strength less than that allotted by the confer- ence to Japan. Reports were current that the ad- ministration would back the Denby estimate, but that it realized there was an impending fight in the House to cut it to the bone. ’ FUGITIVE BROUGHT BACK.

WORK 1s desirous of replacing all horses and bicycles in the police service with high-powered motor cycles, but the lack of funds in the de- partment precludes him from mak- Ing an immediate recommendation in this matter. He realizes that motor cycle officers are able to cover much more territory than those mounted on bicycles and horses. Quick action s what he Wants in every branch of the serv- ice, and at the opportune time will recommend to Commissioner Ovs- ter, who has supervision of the police department, .that motor cycles be provided for all mounted members of the force. The superintendent also has a plan under consideration to in- stall police booths at convenient points in the suburbs of the Dis- trict and aim to always have a po- liceman on duty in them. The plan contemplates the assigning of two motor cycle officers to each booth, one of whom would patrol the section in the vicinity of the booth while the other remained on duty in it. Under such an arrange- ment it would be possiblo for per- %ons requiring the services of a policeman to get the officers sta- tioned_at the booths without de- lay. " Maj. Sullivan believes that Buch prompt service would give the reridents of the suburbs an ad- ditional feeling of security, besides the benefit of quick responses when emergencies arise. Other plans are being considered by Maj. Sullivan to give the people of the District the best possible police service.

By the Amsociated Press. CHICAGO, February 16.—H. E. Hart of Long Prairle, Minn., speaking be- fore the Interstate Merchants’ Council here today, said that there seemed to be only one class of merchandise dis- tributors that have had “a good stand- ing with either the democratic or re- publican administration, and those ars the mall order houses.” He charged that Attdrney General Daugherty 1s ignorant of true conditions and is in- spired by mail order houses. “What would it be worth to the mail order interests to have the publie educated by the Attorney Generals and the radical newspapers to belie jthat every time they made a purchase at a retail store they were being held up and robbed? It would mean mii- lions of extra trade for the mail order concerns,” Mr. Hart said. “If you are going to be successful in 1922 you must meet this vicious propaganda, you must answer tl question in’your advertising to your own community. You stand convicted without & trial by one of our national officials. 2 “Who is this man Daugherty? Where did he come from? He must have been reading a back number of t paper published in his old home town during the war. He thinks the same prices are in effect. “I believe President Harding., much as I like him, made a mistake in choosing this man as Attorney Gen- eral because a lawyer is supposed to know the law and law is founded on common sepse and justice, both of which seem to be lacking in Daugh- ir. Daugherty, I believe it is on of three things: You are either play- ing into the hands of the mail order interests, are playing cheap politics or are ignorant of true conditions. I am going to be charitable and say that the latter is the case. And you can find the truth by looking over th income tax returns filed by merchan from all parts of the United States.
