PROPOSES BUILDING ENGINEER LIGENSES Commissioner Keller Would Include Them.With Archi- tects in Bill. Structural engineers as well architeets should be licensed, In the opinion of Engineer -Commissioner Keller. Col. Keller made known this opin- fon yesterday afternoon in announc- ini that before reporting on the bill recently introduced by Senator Calder | to Heense ard ects the Commission- ers “will considef what regulation should be applied to engineere The Engheer Commissioner aald a public hearing would be held at the | District bullding at a date .to bel fixed later, at which the architects and engineers would be invited to voice their views on the proposed legislation. Both in One Law. Col. Keller said he believed It wiser | to provide for the regulation of both professions in one law, rather than attempt to secure passage of one law for architects and another for en- gineers. 5 ! In drafting a bill for Washington | the Commissioners probably wili be | nilar 1 ation fu othexn an inadequat: force of in-| spectors and engineers on the p: roll, the buiiding hipecior's offies facing the busiest period of prepar: tion for spring construciion work in its history. The volume of special inspecting and investigating that had to be d following the collapse of the Kn erbocker Theater so upset the work of the building department that mJ office 13 still from three to four wee behind in the issuance of permits. Only one additlonal computing en- gineer has been put to work to han- dle the rush, and builders make al- most daily visits to the District building to get permits on plans filed & fortnight ago. Approach of Spriag. l An indication of the approach of spring is contained in the report of the building office for February, which shows that during the month plans were approved for projects in- volving $1,566,979. Of " that amount $1,404,392 repr sented new buildings, and the bal ance was for repair jobs. Of all Der-l mits issued during February. 126 were for dwellings, four for apart- ments and ninety-four for garages. | The bulk of the work, as usual, is to be done in the northwest section of the city. TONSTLEADE TOMAKE ADDRESS “Jabat, the Hammer,” to| Speak at Mass Meeting on Tuesday Evening. i Viadamir Jabotinsky. world-famous Zionist leader, will address a mass meet- ing to be held at the New Masonic Au- ditorium Tuesday evening. The meet- ing is open to the public and no admis- sion will be caarged. Jabotinsky, who is called rades “Jabot the Hamme of his daring and agsressivenass, first be- came prominent at the outbreak of the war when he urged the need of a Jew- ish fighting unit in Palestine under the Hritish, He succeeded in_having or- ganized tae first Jewish fighting unit history since the destruction of Jeru- | alem—the well known Zion mule corps. Following this organization came two battalions of American Jewish youth and one Palestine battalion, all of which were known under the name of the Jew- ish legion. For his efforts, Jabotinsky was recognized by King George of Eng- land, who conferred upon him tne rank of loncrary lieutenant in the British | i i army, an exceptional honor, it is said, since very few non-Britishers have ever obtained it. 1t was not long after the war that Jabotinsky came again to the fore, In the riots of Jerusalem during the fes- tival of the passover in 1920, ne or- anized the Jewish Self Defenre League was. arrested. court-martialed and sen- tenced to prison for fifteen years. His followers and admirers immediately centered a storm of protest over the punishment and Jabotinsky was finally set at libert. Jabotinsky is now in this country with the world Zionist delegation and is a member of the executive committee of | that organization. i THE WEATHER District of Columbia, fair today and tomorrow; warmer tomorrow; mod- erate to fresh west and northwest; winds today, becoming southerly to- day.

Rates to be ~harged by the Wash- ington and Georgetown Gas Light Companies after the meter reading period of March 18 will be announced by the Public Utilities Commission this week. The Commissioners have not met to discuss the gas situation since the hearing was held more than a week ago. Accountants of the commission have been busy, however, going over the financial statements filed by the companies and the C issioners ex- pect to go over the evidence within a few days. c It became known yesterday that one Commissioner favors 'a reduc- tion in the price to private homes from $1.10 per thousand cubic feet to $1, or at most, $1.05 per thousand. - AL the hearing the companies con- tended for a return of § per cent on the value of the property. It is not likely, however. that the commission will fix rates to yield more than a 7 per cent return. The commission will not take up the testimony In the electric light rate case until after it has disposed of the gas case. There is no occasion for immediate action in the electric case, since the.existing rates do not expire until April 1. _———— WILL CONSIDER ALLIANCE.

James P. Noonan, president, after the meeting satd that the committee would prob- ably be occupied for a considerable time in formulating conclusions. The International Association of Machinists, another railroad union, has referred the alliance -ruonlul which were drawn up at the recent joint meeting of all the mine work- ers' and railroad union representa- tives in Chicago to a correspondence vote of its executive board. This is merely a_formality, however, accord- ing to W. H. Johnston, president of the assoclation, who 'said that unanimous decision accepting the al- liance was expected. —_— BOOKKEEPER IN CUSTODY. ‘Young ‘Woman Accused of Stealing $10,000 of Town Funds.
