He pointed out that the people have to stop with their cars on the hard macadam of 16th street and walk to the homes ‘west of 16th street. This is true of a number of the streets in this vicinity. Unless Congress should make some provision fer the Commissioners paving streets of this character by providing some general furd, there is no relief in sight for these people for two years, it was pointed out—that is, if the est! mates and recommendations take the usual course. There is at imperative need at this time for such a general fund, which would leave to the dis- cretion of the Commissioners’ the streets to be paved, it was asserted. . Makes Living Costly.

C., D. C. COMMITIEE WINS SENATE POINT Amended Rules Admit Mem- bers to Hearings on Fund Bills. The Senate District committee is to have representation In the considera- tion of District aprpopriation bills in the future such as it never has bad in the past, under an amendment to the Senate rules adopted yesterday afterncon by the Senate. _The new rule places all appropria- tion bills under the Serate appropria- tions committee, as they are under a single appropriations committee in the House. It carries out the plan of the new budget system for the fed- .| eral government. Shall Sit as Members. But the new rule goes further than | It provides that the chairman and two members of legislative standing committees of the Senate which have previously had charge of appropriation bills shall sit with the appropriations committee as ex officio members when the bllls~in which they have particular interest are be- fore the appropriations committee. The District committee is included in this provision, although the com- mittee has not in the past had charge of the District appropriation bill. The District committee was included at the particular request of Senator Ball, chairman. One in Conference. Furthermore, under another amend- ment to the new rule one of the members of the District committee sitting as _ex-officio member of the appropriations committee will be a member of the committee of confer- ence between the two houses on the District appropriation bill. Change in the Senate ‘procedure was adopted only after several days of controversy, opponents contending that it would concentrate too much power in the appropriations com- mittee. Senators Lodge, republican, Massachusetts, and Underwood, dem- ocrat, Alabama; Chairman Warren of the appropriations committee and others * contended that the Senate change was required to expedite sup- ply bills and avoid confusion as well as conform to the new centralized house system of handling the bills, Committee Power Curtailed. Power of the appropriations com- mittee was curtailed in making the change in that the new rule deprives the committee of authority to add new legislation, including *riders,” which would be subject to a point of order by a single senator. Senators’ Harrison, democrat, M sissippi, and Reed, democrat, Mis- sourl, led the fight against the ¢hange Kearney street northeast, looking wegther it Is tmpnasable for vehicular trafiic, although it ix lined by fine homes. CITES WRONG ATTITUDE TOWARD THE “FLAPPER” Miss Marion Miller Says Modern Girl Needs Sympathy Rather Than Condemnation. “Condemnation is the wrong atti- tude to take toward the modern girl, the ‘flappe; sald Miss Marion Miller, educational secretary and director of the Y. W. C. A. School, in an address before the open forum of the Women's City Clyb last night. She needs sympathy and under- standing to help her in facing a very complex world. This is what the Y. C. A. strives to give her, and in; contributing to the girl's social, in- tellectual and spiritual needs the first purpose of our organization, which™ is character building, is ac- complished. Often the needs of a woman is not realized until she has provide streets, in addition to the in- convenience to the taxpayers, it was pointed out, is the fact that it in- creases the cost of living in many of those sectlons where bad streets are found. This increase results from the refusal of merchants to send theirde- livery trucks into the mired sections, and imposes an additional expense on the resident in order to get the prod- ucts to his home. —_— SENATE APPROVES STREET REPAIRS (Continued from First Page.) new or general legislation a point of order may be made against the bill, and if the point is sustained, the bill shall be recommitted to the com- mittee on appropriations.” Vice President Rules. Notwithstanding the fact that the District bill hadnever before come before the Senate for consideration, Vice President Coolidge ruled that the new rule did not-apply to the District bill because mmnu_{%fil{ had been reported from the ap) rfations com mittee before the new rule wi adopted. His ruling was made after a suggestion on the part of Senator Robinson of Arkansas and others that this was the situation presented. Senator Harrison immediately point- ed out that such a ruling violated the very: tmrn .of the nmew rule of the Senaté, -fhat. ne appraopriation bills 14’ be re; d, to.the Senate con- t. ing” né gislation—now the rule of the-Senate.. He moved to re- cemmit ‘the sDistrict:: bill. . .Senator Phipps of -Colorado; in charge of the bil, ‘then mo¥td to'lay Senator Har- ’'s motion - on -~ the table. The Phipps motion prevalled by a vote of 40 to 18. Senator Harrison followed this up with a point of order that under the old rules of the Senate an amend- ment proposing general legislation on an appropriation bill was subject to a point of order, and that therefore the Jones rider should be stricken from the bill. Senate Entitled to Amend. Senator Norris of Nebraska called attention to the fact that:the House bill changed existing law—the law of 1878, known as the organic act of the District—and declared that if the ‘House bill did this the Senate com-; mittee was entitled to. bring in an emendment changing the House pro- vision without a point of order lying against the committee amendment. Senator Jones of Washington backed up this argument of Senator Norris, saying the House had opened the door to a charge in existing law and for general legislation on the bill, and that the Senaté was en- titled to amend the HouSe provision if it desired to do so. The House bill changes from the 50-50 plan of the act of 1878 and pro- vides for a 60-40 ratio of expendi- tures for the National Capital-by the District and the federal government. ‘The House plan has been carried in appropriation acts of the last two years, but it was held that that did not change the law, and the existing law was the 50-50 plan of 1878, it had not been changed by legi: action. Senator :Brandegee of Connecticut pointed out that if general legisla- tion is proposed in an amendment to an _appropriation bill in the Senate it is subject to a point of orderl; no ave matter what the House may done in the first instance. This contention also was made by Senator Ashurst of Arizona, who said that the language of the Senate rule was as plain as could be. amendment which proposes general legislation shall be received to any general appropriation bill. 1f this rule was to be violate merely because the House had sought to change_existing law on an_appro- priation bill, he said, the “Senate would be powerless to meet this mat- ter of general legislation on an ap- propriation bill. He sald that the redress the Senaté had was to re- ject the House amendment to ex- isting law. Appeal Voted Down. The Vice President ruled, however, that Senator Harrison's point of order was not well taken. Senator Harrison appealed from .the decision of the chair and his appeal. on a division, was lost. The Mississippi senator suggested that it would be well to let the Jones rider go over for further consideration, since it was likely to lead to a long debate, and to this Senator Phipps, in charge of the bill, agreed. Senator Harrison gave notice that he intended to bring up again in th Senate the rulings of the Vice Presi dent on_the Jones rider. The Senate then proceeded with consideration of the other Senate committee amendments, and they were all agreed to as far as ‘that point in the bill which deals with im- provements and repairs of streets, with one exception—that prcviding five assistant building inspectors at $%.000 each, instead of one. Sehator King of Utah asked that this amend- ment go over, on the ground that it provided too many inspectors.

The latter said that in- stead of expedition the change would cause congestion of bills before the appropriations committee. Senator Reed also said the plan involved con- centration of power in the President through the budget commissioner. Incidentally he referred to Gen. Dawes, budget commissioner, as ‘the man whose chief title to fame is that he came down here and cursed a commit- tee of Congress.” —_ SUBMITS CABLE PLANS TO OTHER NATIONS Undersecretary Fletcher Arranges for Distribution of All Former German Lines. “(e).
