- that Miss Birkhead and her attorney PLANS TO‘DRESS UP CITY IN THE SPRING Commissioner Oyster fo Ask . Co-Operation of Civic ! and Trade Bodies. Washington is to bave a. spring clean-up campaign. Commissioner Oyster today made known his intention to take steps within the next few days to obtain the co-operation of all citizens' as- soclations and the trade bodies in a city-wide movement to “dress up” the National Capital for the open months of the year. The Commissioner’s first thought is to prevent as far as possible the growth of weeds on vacant property this summer. Last year Capt. Oyster instituted & vigorous drive against weeds, but the work was started late in the summer after these obnoxious growths had sprung up. ‘Will Begin Fight Early. ‘This year it is his intention to be- gin the fight on weeds before they get headway and thereby make the task of combat easier. The health department, with its limited force of inspectors, endeavors to keep down weeds by prosecuting owners of vacant land who refuse to remove them. ‘While Health Officer Fowler's force will be on the job as usual to enforce the anti-weed law, it is a physical im- possibility for the few men he has; available for this work to keep con- stant watch on the entire city. The police, however, probably will co-operate as they dffl last vear in noting all violations of this law and referring them to the health depart- ment. Appeals to Public Spirit. Commissioner Oyster belleves that' public-spirited citizens owning vacant Jots in thickly settled communities should not wait for the arm of the remove weeds and other unsightly | conditiodls. The Commissioner also HONEY-HUNTING BEES NQW REGISTER AS THEY BID HIVES “AU REVOIR” The chap who measured the thickness of a gnat's wing hasn't done anything more wnnflerffll than scientists of the bureau of entomology, who have recently perfected a machine for counting bees. The device, which is the inven- tion of one of the members of that bureau, consists of a gate to be aced at the entrance to a bee- ive, with a series of telephone message registers attached in such & way that every time a bee goes through the gate its passage is re- corded. The device is operated by electricity. As about 300,000 bees go out dur- ing the day on honey-gathering expeditions, considerable electrical energy is needed to operate the récording gate, although the ‘amount of energy expended by the device each time a bee passes is infinitesimal. FAVORS TAX PEAN FORD. C. RAILWAYS Ball Predicts Committee Will| Recommend Measure to Expedite Merger. Senator Ball, chairman ef the Dis- trict committee, today predicted that the committee would favorably rec- ommend the adoption of the plan to tax the opecrating Income :of the street railway companies of the District, in such a way as to bring their‘net earnings close together, in the hope of expediting a merger. “The committee Is to take up thej proposal regarding the taxation of g income &t a meeting Wed- said Senator Ball. “We have already discussed the matter at some believes that when the Interest of linclined to oppose the proposal have. these owners is awakened through a clean-up campaign many of them will | do their part voluntarily this sum- mer. JUDICIARY COMMITTEE PUTS LIMIT ON CHARTERS Benators Against Federal !ncnrl poration of Private Organ- l 05 izations. By a vote of 7 to 2 the Senate judiciary committee today decided against all legisiation proposing fed- eral charters for private organisa- tions which are not formed for the purpose -of executing some power granted in the Constitution. The com- mittee's adverse action applies to a score of bills pending to grant federal | incorporation to patriotic, charitable ! and similar organizations. Among the ; organizations which have bills pend- ing for federal incorporation are the Disabled American Veterans of the World War., the International Asso- ciation of Rotary Clubs, the American Society for Control of Cancer. the! General Federation of Women's Clubs, | the Women's Overseas Service League, [ Lighthouses for the Blind and aeveral. Greek letter fraternities. All of these ; bills, it was said by Chairman Nelson, | will be adversely reported. The committee Is consldering other Jegislation authorizing District of Co- lumbia charters for organizations which cannot qualify for federal char- ters under the new committee policy. SAFE-BLOWERS GET AWAY WITH $600 AT BALLSTON Robbery of Sanitary Grocery Con- ducted So Quietly Neighborhood l ‘Was Not Disturbed. Supposed professional safe smashers late Saturday night or early yester- day morning blew open a large safe in a store of the Sanitary Grocery Company at Ballston, Va., and stole $600. Tt was not until nearly noon | yesterday that the manager of the store discovered the robbery. Detective Frederick M. Sandberg, identification expert of the: local p: lice department found that an un- successful attempt had been made to force open the rear door of building, the attempt being frustrated by locl and bolts. The front door gave way %o an iron bar, left by the burglars in the store. Cracks about the door of lho large safe had been smeared with soap be- fore an explosive was used. the force of the explosive being sufficient to throw the door from Iits hinges. No fingerprints were discovered. s dithisius g, GIRL SUING GOVERNOR MAY TESTIFY ON LOBBY Seduction Charges and Fire Insur- ance Irregularities Share Intgett of Inquiry.

Martin McQuade, foreman of the grand jury, today heartily commended the actioh of the Senate in providing seventy-five additional policemen for the National Capital. Mr. McQuade said the grand jury had become con- vinced that one of the reasons for crime in Washington is the small number of policemen. The necessity of the guardians of the law attending sesslons of the grand jury and of the criminal courts, he pointed out, takes & number of the policemen from their eats and leaves life and property in- adequately guarded. Appreciatink the necessity for an increase in the force, Foreman Mc- Quade said, the grand jurors had drawn up & resolution which they had intended submitting to President Harding asking him to request Con- gress to make appropriation for ad- ditional policemen. The resolution called for 100 more men. Since the Senate had taken the step toward the desired increAse, the grand jurors decided not to transmit the resolution to the chief executive. Thirteen indictments were reported today by the grand jury to Chief Justice McCoy. Those accused and the charges against them are: Raymond H. Osborne, larceny after trust; Lawrence E. Hudson and LeRoy A. Wise, white slavery: Thomas Glea- son, John R. Reld, Richard M. Pettey and Thomas V. Strobel, non-support; Gladys Bennett, Henrletta Herman, Cmanuel Bruce and Herman Bruce, _f)rlnd larceny; Cleveland Smith and John Jones, robbery; Willlam Carter and Agnes P. King, larceny. COL. JOYES DEFENDS POWER COMPANY PACT housebreaking and Representative Says “Net Was Spun and Government Walked In,” But Witness Denies. The contract between the Alabama Power Company and the War Depart- ment,. giving the power company the exclusive rights to purchase the War- rlor plant at Gorgas, Ala., and which the company has declared it will ex- ercise to prevent the government from delivering the property to Henry Ford, In the event Congress accepts his offer for purchase and lease of the Muscle Shoals projects, was strongly defended today by Col. John W. Joyes, in testimony before the House military committee. Col. Joyes said the War Department believed “it was the right thing-to do to give the company the right to pur- chase” and “the contract, in that re- gard, was quite usual.” Representative Stoll, democrat, South Carolina, brought out that the government paid for the Warrior ex- tension work by advancing money to the company, which was to be re- turned in full to the government as the power was sold. “In the end,” Mr. Stoll said, “the company would have the plant for nothing. This looks very much like the case of the spider and the fly. The net was spun and you walked right into “No, sii Col. Joyes sald, agree with you." URGES FOUR-POWER PACT. Senator Willis Says Treaty Is Big Forward Peace Step. Senator Frank B. Willls of Ohio ad- vocated the ratification of the four- power Pacific treaty negotiated at the 1ecent arms conference in an address at the Calvary Baptist Church yes- terday. He sald that if the four power treaty is defeated, the limita- tion of armaments trel!y also should be defeated. “Ratify the four-power treaty and we have taken the biggest step for- ward_for peace in centuries” Sena- tor Willis said. “Defeat it, and we had best start at once to arm with all the adequacy at our command,” “I can't e e EEEEEEEEEEEEEE LANSBURGH & BROTHER Bargain 6th Floor tan and gray. strictly a la mode. en up to 42 measurement. plains ; some pleated, * others plain; but a value of unusual proportions.

Scores of women wore them, seemingly prettier than ever -thi year. They were of straw .and cloth and—er-er—all sorts of terials, with plenty of flowers and fruits and all that sort of thing, you know. Even some of the men aported new spring hats.

By the Amoclated Press. NEW YORK, March Somers Roche, novelist, afirmative last night in a dcbate| with Heywood Broun, columist, on the question “Shall women lost their names at marriage?” The debate was held at the first an- nual dinner of the Lucy Stone League, | organized last year, with about 100 members, to encourage the use hy| women of their own names after mar- riage. “Miss Ruth Hale,” wife of Mr. Broun, introduced the speakers. presenting her husband as “Mr. Hevwood Broun.” He addrepsed her as “Miss Toastmaster.” Mrs. Arthur Summers, who isn't a mem- ber of the league, sat at her husband’s side.

PARIS, March 11.—The work of re- turning to the United States the bodics ! of American soldiers who died 1n France was completed today with a final shipment of 1,500 bodies from Brest for New York. This brings the total number of American bodies Te- turned to 45,023. The simple announcement of the com- pletion of the task marks the close of one of the most trying and difficult problems ever placed before the Ameri: can Army. The American graves regi tration service, the special branch of the Army organized for the purpose, began work in February, 1920. Agents of that service now will go to England and assemble ninety-seven American bodies destined for shipment to America. These were Amerigan sol- diers who dled in widely scattered parts of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Eng- land. Five hundred other hodles of Americans whose relatives have d:-l cided to leave them in England will be concentrated in a beautiful little permanent cemetery at Brookwood, Surrey., England, the British govern- ment having given the site. This work will be completed by July. WOMEN RAP BRIDGES. Chevy Chase Club Asks Congress to Replace Two Structures.

Jewell, head of the shop crafts, today began the presentation of protests from rallroad labor organizations against the legality of the wage conferences held recently throughout the coun- try between railroad heads and em- ployes. He claimed these conferences Wwere not carried out in accordance Wwith the terms of the transportation act, and cited instances of alleged violations by railroad executives. Before opening his argument, Mr. Jewell requested of the Labor Board and each member individually a re- port on the amount of propaganda and “yellow. sheets” received from the Association of Railway Execu- tives, from the National Chamber of Commerce and other employers’ or- ganizations. This information was desired, he sald, to see whether these organiza- tions “really understood rlllrold management and its problems.” At the same time he asked the Labor Board members for a list of the published propaganda and con- tents received from labor organiza- tions other than rallroad labor unions. Varlous other railroad labor lead- ers also indicated they would make formal protests against the wage conferences, including representa- $2 Plaid DRESS SKIRTS $l Riack and white, brown and tan and navy and white color combinations, pocket aud bel = - $2 Navy Blue HQII\'] grade storm serge, made with belt, SERGE SKIRTS Kinerts wrs Afor$1 JIFFY PANTS i Genuine _50c Kleinert pants. seconds.

Passerss by pursued a man who may have been responsible for the outrags, but he eluded them in the darkness. Both the police and the American mintster, Charles S. Wilson, Lelleve the act that of a madman or of radi- caly seeking revenge for the Ameri~ can policy in regard to sviet Xussia. A person dressed as a workingman twice recently had attempted to see Mr. Wilson and the American consul, renewing his attempts Saturday. The fact that the bomb was thrown into the conservatory instead of into Mr. Wilson's residence suggests that it might have peen 1n an erfort to dis- credit Bulgaria. A mass meeting held as a demons stration for the augpnomy of Thrace yesterday was turned info a process sion which went to the legation and cheered Mr. Wilson.
