LIMIT ON PARKING . HELP T0 BUSINESS 20-Foot Open Spaces Will Be Required at Corners in ! Congested Area. ‘The Commissioners have decided to relieve business lhouses downtown from the annoyance incident to au- tomobile parking by establishing | foot open spaces at all cor- in the congested arex. was the only change of con- ence made by the city heads in the existing reguiations. although the citizens’ committee which studied the problem made many drastic recom- mendations. The new regulation establishing open spaces on all thoroughfares downtown will become effective thirty days.after it has been published as a legal notice, and reads as follows: “No vehicle shall be parked or left Standing unattended within twenty foet of any intersecting street, calcu lated from the building line, nor in any square or block over 200 fest in Iength with a spage of thirty feet in I width in the centd® of such block or | square, such spaces to be designated. except for the purpcse of taking on or discharging passengers or mer- chandise.” Meaning of Rule. Boiled down, this means that in short blocks the police will mark off With signs a twenty-foot space at each corner where ma drive up to load or unloa senge or merchandise, but where they must not park.

Another change ordered will pro- hibit the parking of automobiles in alleys in the congested -area, except ¢ loading or unloading merchan- dise. The Commissioners rejected the pro- posal of the committee that machines parking parallel should not be more than three feet apart. Suggestion Turned Down. As predicted in The Star several days ago, the city heads also turned down the suggestion that the police Le empowered to chain_automobiles found overstaying the time limit on streets where limited parking is per- mitted. ) g Under the committee’s sugge & man would be required to go 1 nearest police station and reque: unchaining of his ¢ would be asked to d for violating the p: The Commissio likewise took no action on the regulation which | would have prohibited the parking of vehicles in front of the entrance to any church, hotel, club, theater, office buildiug, freight entrance or fuel in- take afd such other places as the chief of police should designate. The Commissioners prohibited cen- ter parking on F street between 1ith and 15th streets, but retained it on New York avenue between 9th and 13th streets and Vermont avenue be- tween H and I streets.

MADEIRA, WIL- | ' 'THE EVENING - STA (USE OF SHIP BOARD FUNDSRESTRICTED House Refuses to Sanction Employment of Proceeds ‘From Liquidation. The Iouse stood firm by a vote of 77 to 19 yesterday in retusing to give its joint permission to ‘the Shipping Board to continue using, during the coming fiscal year, funds received from liquidation of ets up to $55,000,000. This proposal came be- fore the House as a Senate amend- ment to the appropriation bill for in- dependent offices of the government. The Shipping Board has authority to use such funds up to July 1 next, glven in a ‘supply bill passed a year ago. It has, however, realized only a part of the maximum amount, and Chairman Lasker urged extension of the privilege. | Concurrence also was refused in a Senate amendment authorizing _the purchasp for $1,600,000 of land in ‘Washington to be used for an addition to the government printing office. Vocational Training Actl The House, however, ratified action of the conferees, wwho had reached a compromise which inserts in the bill the language, proposed by the Senate, limiting the use of Army camps or ntonments as vocational tralning nters to Camp Sherman, Ohio, and | which restores a clause stricken out by the Senate, providing that no part of the appropriation for vocational | training shall be expended for con- struction work except for necessary =" instead of for necessary epairs,” as proposed by the As the bill now stands, no placed on the number of for- mer service men who can be trained at the Ohio camp. Another conference agreement ap. proved by the House appropriates ap. proximately $40,000,000 for saluries and expenses of the veterans’ bureau as proposed by the Senate, instead of $26,000.000 as proposed by the House, s well as $160,000,000 for military nd paval compensation as proposed Ly t§e House instead of $145,000,000, and not exceeding $15,000,000 of any unexpended balance as provided for in a Senate amendment, and $146.- {403,000 for “vocational rehabilitation 48 proposed by the Senate instead of $127.000,000 mthe House provision. S.ill another comi - -omise of the con- ferees which met with House ap- proval was or sre-.ing out of the ef- fort of a blo. o¢ iouse and Senate members to have the liner Leviathan reconditioned at the Koston navy vard. It inserts the language pro- bosed by the Senate, providing that no part of the money appropriated in the bill shall be used for the repair or reconditioning of any vessel until a reasonable opportunity has been given to the government navy yards to sub- mit estimates on the work. Bids From Arsenals. The Senate pravision was modified Ly the conferees, however, to permit goyernment arsenals to submit bids and to require estimates from the navy vards or arsenals when the ex~| pense of such repajr or reconditioning ls In excess of $190,000, instead of Approval was also given to action of the conferees in striking out a Senate provision that no part of the money appropriated for the Shipping Board shall be used to pay commis- sions on advertising /contracts of more than 5 per cent. The House, by an overwhelmjng vote, insisted on its disagreement to a Senate amendment which provides {that not more than thirteen officers {ot the Shipping Board shall receive aunual salaries in excess of $11,000. The~ original House ‘provision_pro- vided that not more than six officials should receive salaries in excess of $11.000 and that none should be paid more than $25,000. In urging the House to stand on the original provision, Representative Mann, republican, Illinois, declared that “we have no right ito pay sala- ries reaching to the mountain top.” A salary of $25,000 is reasonably high,” he "declared, “and we ought not to pay it to any one in the gov- ernment short of the President.” —_— CITIZENS ASK MUZZLING OF DISTRICT’S HORSES Lured by Toothsome Chevy Chase Hedges, Animals Unable to Re- frain From Nibbling.

HALIFAX, N. March 16.—While Dr. Walter Franklin Prince, New York sclentist and layer of ghosts, is satisfled that entirely human, and not superhuman, agencies constituted the Antigonish ghost, it was learned today that residents near Caledonia Mills, which i3 near the MacDona'd home, were reluctant to a version that Mary Ellen Ma: fifteen, was at the root of the phe- nomenon. Dr. Priace, in a lengthy report, the fruit of a week's stay in the “haunted house” of Alex MacDonald, declared the adopted daughter of the old farmer was author of the supposedly supernormal fires and pranks among the livestock which drove the fam- ily from the old homestead in the dead of winter. The ghostly slaps which Harold Whidden, reporter, P. O. Carroll, provincial detective, claim to have recelved were attri- buted to natural phenomena by Dr. Prince. Skeptics _of Antigonish county are shaking their heads today, however, and placing their tongues ‘in their cheeks. They are seemingly loath so easily to relinquish the Importance that attached to their section of the country so long as the outside world was fascinated with tales of what they are wont to belleve wgs a prankish wraith with designs ofi the MacDonalds. They characterized as absurd_the scientist's nomination of Mary Ellen as _combined author and cast of thelr “mystery” while in a “dream state” and the victim of an “altered consciousness.” Disproves Wireless Theory. Dr. Prince’s summary of his report lows: £ 'y visit of six nights and five days at the house in the vicinity of Anti- gonish, N.

The burns are never found on the wall paper higher than the reach of a person five feet tall. which is the height of the girl in the family. Over the bed which fills one end of a room they are never higher than such a person kneeling could reach, and in muddy or snowy weather one would not wish to stand on the bed. “Other slightly higher places on the woodwork were always set on fire by pieces of cloth, which could easily have been tossed.

Mr. Kelly stated that if the pur- poses of the assoclation were to be realized, co-operation and unity of the entire community of Chevy Chase must be achieved. “America at the time of the war was in a state of intense mobilization and co-opera- tion. This should apply in a small- {er degree to us in Chevy Chase if we {are to succeed in making ours the best community in Washington,” he added. In closing Mr. Kelly lauded the recent membership drive of the association and stated that- the as- sociation should have a hundred per cent membership. The association voted to start a clean-up campaign and to begin with the improvement of the school yard. It was then brought to the attention of the association that many of the horses owned by the District gov- ernment in past times had partly de- ! stroyed the hedges in the neighbor- {hood by biting into them. It was {making a collection. the horse would {sample a box or arbor vita hedge.

Bursts Into Writing. “I have known other cases where persons shared in the witnessing of phenonema only when a particular person was present. Consistent with this theory would be the fact that during my stay at the house an ex- periment which I performed, partly to pass away the time, resulted in a sudden and volcanic outburst of automatic writing on the part of Mr. Whidden, during which an ordinarily mild gentleman became strangely imperative and like another person, the writing claiming that the com- municator caused the fires, which of course he might have done through the girl, according to the theory of obsession. “The fact of automatic writing and its contents also are not evi- it is a fact that many such writings contain clear evidence, whether of spirit communication or of telepathy, which embraces the world like a sys- tem of telegraph wires.

Mr. McNally said that next to ad- vertising in reputable newspapers he knew of no better business-getter than the personal letter campaign, and cited several instances where men had built up tremendous establish- ments through this method alone, which “he styled “still-hunt advertis- ng. He detalled the wonderful uses the typewriter can be put to today, said that It is one sure means of ex- tending hospitality to the prospective purchaser by the wide-awake mer- chant of the times. Charles W. Semmes presided, and introduced Rotarian Frank Jellefr, who presented one reel of the fairy play, “Twinkle, Twinkle,” to be given at Keith’'s Theater Saturday morning for the benefit of the Boys' Club of the District. Mr. Jelleff said that the receipts would be devoted to the es- tablishment of a new floor in the gymnasium of the club, and asked the co-operation of the membership, which, he said, was most responsible for the existence of the club.
