The District now gets credit for 60 per cent of these rentals, but under the above wording the TUnited States would take all of this revenue. Further on the new bill states that “where the United States is the owner of ground or the holder thereof in trust for the public, upon which im- provements have been made at the Joint_expense of ‘the United States and District, the revenues therefrom shall first be used to pay.the United States 3 per cent of the full value of the ground as a ground rent and the remainder shall be divided between them in the same proportion that each contributed to said improve- ments.” * o @ ‘The comparatively new fish mar- kets on the waterfront and the pub- lic crematorium on reservation 13, in Southeast Washington, come under this provision. ‘The fish markets produce in revenue $17,585. Uncle Sam, assuming the role of landlord. will first have to get 3 per cent of the value of the land on which the markets are bullt. The balance will be divided equally be- tween the- two governments, since tHY fish markets were built under the fifty-fifty plan of appropriations. The crematorium produced only $1,650 last year, but a 3 per cent ground rent also would have to be paid in that case and the balance divided fifty-fifty, since that institu- tion also was put up under the half- and-half plan. —_— DAY FOR VETERANS. ‘White House Reception and Tour Planned June 7.

FILE ANSWER TODAY TO MRS. VAN WINKLE Commissioners to Oppose Setting Aside of Police Trial Board Criticism. The District Commissioners this aft- ernoon will flle in the District Su- preme Courg thelr answer to the peti- tion on which Lieut. Mina C. Van Winkle asked the court to set aside that portion of the findings of the police trial board which criticised her after acquitting her of the charge of insubordination. The head of the ‘women's bureau also asked the court to expunge from the records of the police department the opinion issued by the Commissioners when they up- held the report of the trial board. It is understood the Commissioners in their answer will defend their ac- tion in the Van Winkle controversy. Mrs. Van Winkle's trial grew out of the detention of two runaway girls from New York, whom she refused to release from the house of deten- tion in custody of their parents un- til she had satisfied herself that they should be allowed to go home. —_— CHURCH FUTURE TOPIC.

Department of Commerce and from reports reaching the chief clerk’'s office opinion appears to be divided as to the merits of the scheme and the way it will affect each employe, according to the chief clerk. The op- posite is true at the Interior Depart- ment, where no referendum was taken, but most of the clerks appear to be against the plan. Opinion appears also to be divided at the War Department, with the probability that the majority of the employes are in favor of the plan, ac- cording to the information given out. The chief clerk of the Department of Justice reported that although no ref- erendum had been taken in the de- partment he had not heard any com- plaint against the plan, and believed that the large majority of employes are in favor of it. Views as to the plan are di- vided in both the Treasury and Agricultural departments, two of the largest departments in Washington, according to the chief clerks of the respective departments. At the Treasury it was declared there had been some unfavorable comment, particularly among those employes who commute to and from work, but it was conceded that on the .whole tire plan met with general favor. A referendum was not taken at the State Department in advance of the order of Secretary Hughes. The chief clerk’'s office today had no accurate idea of what sentiment in the depart ment was, although from comments on the plan, the clerks appeared to be divided as to its merit —_— 8-HOUR DAY IN BUREAUS FAVORED BY DAUGHERTY Other Cabinet Members Refuse to “ State Views Until Decision Is Reached. Officials for the most part contin- ued silent today on the substitution of the eight-hour day instead of seven for federal employes, now being considered by the cabinet. Cabinet officers preferred to express no public opinion until the matter had progressed further and some de- cision had been reached. Attorney General Daugherty, how- ever, was the first publicly to declare his _position. “I- am in favor of the eight-hour day for everybody.” said the Attorney General. “Every one ought to work eight hours.” Mr. Daugherty explained that the day's work_ to. which he referred would not mean eight hours from bell to bell, but eight hours of work, exclusive of lunch. ' The Department of Justice, he seid, had worked from 9 to 6 for some time prévious to the daylight-saving shift, and he had always had difficulty in closing his own office at 6 o'clock. When the daylight-saving shift was made the Attorney General showed that he did not wish to dis- criminate against the employes in his department by having them work longer than the others, how- ever, and so half an hour was cyt from the day, which was changed to the hours of 8 to 3:30. The subject of an eight-hour day had been discu by the cabinet, the no indieation, tien of opini favored the proposal. CARGO OF CHICKENS I¥ CRASH PHEKSKILL, N.

The new constitution in- creases the number of members of | the board. expands the department | of ministerial supply and training| into a department of life service. as- | tablishes a teachers' agency and makes other extensions in the work of the board. The conference also adopted a new course of procedure for the trial of a bishop during the session of the general conference and changed one of the articles of faith so as to pledge Methodista of other countries to be loval to the rulers of their own coun- try Instead of to the government of | the United States. The latter change | was effected so as to make the dis. cipline acceptable to members of the church in the mission fields Increases Salaries of Bishops. | The conference adopted a report in- creasing the salaries of the bishops from $5.000 to $6.000 a year while active, and from $2.500 to $3,000 when superannuated. The active bishops were also allowed $1.500 a year for house rent and clerical assistance and $500 a vear for traveling expenses. The widows of bishops were allowed $1.200 per vear for themselves and 3300 additional for each dependent child. A committee was appointed to revise the discipline of the church and to supervise its publication. The com- mittee consists of Bishop Collins Denny of Richmond, Va.: Dr. Gilbert T.

It was thought that Senator Pepper. incumbent, would naturally succeed himself, but his ambition was con- tested by Representative-at-Large Burke, who ran with the presumably wide support of labor, but which turned out to be insuffictent to win bim the nomination. Senator Pepper had the support of most of the regular organizations in the party as they existed in their units and was opposed by certain re- form elements. It is a question now whether he will be able to mold the units into a compact organization with himself as the head, or whether he will have to account to Gov. Sproul in the future. Almost of equal importance with the genatorship fight was the contest for the gubernatorfal nomination. Gifford Pinchot early entered the race as the candidate acceptable to those Wwho were fightting various so-called “machine” units. He had strong backing from the metropolitan press. Asserted abuses in state administra tion were strongly emphasized, and Pinchot was looked upon as propos. ing himeelf as the man to correct em. The heavy vote glven Mr. Pinchot is_construed to mean that he com- manded a powerful following among the woman voters of the state, who naturally would be attracted by the campalign for reform which he was making. - Politicians in Congress here will be much interested in analyzing the com- plete returns to see how the senti- ment in the state for the bonus was represented in the vote for the candidacy of Senator Pepper, the suc- cessful contestant. While not stressing t his opposition to the bofius, Senator Pepper never equivocated as to his position, and in answering questions was frank to state that he did not regard it as wise or advantageous to the country or to the best Interests of the former service men themselves.

NASH. . By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1 PARIS, May 17.—Reparations circles here are confident that American financiers will welcome an oppor- tunity to float a German loan in the { United States provided such a loan is secured by proper mortgages on Ger- nfany's resources. “Otherwise,” say the European bil- lon jugglers, “why should a man like J. P. Morgan take the trouble to leave his business and travel 4,000 miles to talk the matter over?’ If he thinks favorably of the prospects it will undoybtedly be after he has sounded public opinion on the sub- jeot. With the United States willing to subscribe the kernel of the problem | before thle bankers' committee next week, the question narrows down to the discovery of securities. What mortgages shall be demanded of Ger- many? Will the French give up their first-line claims on the resources of the German reich or will they insist on these being kept for the purpose of reparations proper? On that de- tail practically turns the fate of the indemnity ~problem. The Germans feel confident that they can pay in- terest and sinking fund charges on an international loan “The negotiations between the al- lles and Germany have returned to the point where they stood in the fall of 1920, said an expert to the writer’ today. “That is, the discussion is be- tween the experts. An immense lot of time has been lost through political interference. Only by the exchange of views between technicians can real progress be made on this complex in- demnity problem 1 LEVIATHAN NOT NAMED FOR PRESIDENT HARDING Feeling. that the sentiment of the country favored the retention of tie name Leviathan. under which the former German liner made her fa- mous record carrying troopa dur- ing the war, President Harding In a letter to the Shipping Board, has asked that it be not renamed for him and Chairman Lasker announced yesterday that the present name would remain. Instead. the Hawkeye State, known as the board's ital ship,” will be named the President Harding. while the Golden State, re-y cently named for President Taylor. will _be christened the President Cleveland. In a letter to Chairman Lasker making the request, President Hard- ing said he felt “the board would make a mistake in changing the rame ot the Leviathan—a name that has an overpowering national senti- ment. a_sentiment that symbolizes { the participation of this great vessel in the world war and during that | period in which she-was engaged in returning our forces from European battlefields. “I would be insensible to the spirit of the board.” he added, “if I did not make acknowledgement of the very grateful response in me to their ac- tion. which, as you write me, is in recognition by the board of my great interest in the merchant marine. The board is correct in their measure of that interest; and because of that very interest I must ask the board understandingly to sympatnize with my declination of the proffered honor, 4land request that the name of the Leviathan remain unchanged. “The Leviathan stands, in name and fact, not only as a national sentiment, but ‘a national symbol.” —— NAMED IN CANCER DRIVE.
