RULES Orders were issued by the Treasury Yesterday stopping the striking of the clock in the tower of the post of- fice building at Lexington, Ky. Com- plaint was filed by a hotel of the city against the booming of the tower timepiece in the stilly night, on the ground that “guests serlously ob- Ject to the nocturnal serenade during the peace and quietude of the even- ing.” Recommending the silence order, the Treasurys report declared: “The striking of the clock in it- self does not, under the conditions of this age, add to the benefits de- rived from a tower clock. In olden days, when few people possessed clocks or watches the public clock in the church steeple filled a great want. But now when nearly everybody owns a watch and every residence its own clock. tower clocks, especially as to striking the hours, are no longer a crying necessity nor a public utility.” ‘The Treasury's general policy as to clocks in federal buildings. striking the hours, it was said, would be gov- erned by local conditions. _— FORCES LINING UP | FOR SUBSIDY FIGHT House Leaders Decide on Ac- tion Not Later Than No- vember 29. ILASKER SEES SUCCESS White House Statement Declares Passage Necessary—Senate Danger Point. Decision by House léaders to vote on the administration ship subsidy bill not later than Wednesday, November 29, practically coincident with a state- ment from the White House yesterday that its passage is necessary for na- tional safety and the promotion of na- ional commerce and the prediction of hairman Lasker of the Shipping Board that it will be enacted into law. The House leaders in conference yes- terday decided to throw the measure open for unlimited amendment on the floor, with the only stipulation as to when the final vote would be taken. Agrecment Reached at Conference. agreement _for a_vote in the House was reached at a conference at- tended by Speaker Gillett, Representa- tive Mondell, republican ' floor leader, Chairman Campbell of the rules com- mittee and members of the merchant marine and of the steering committees. Chairman Campbell suggested and the other leaders present agreed that a rule should be presented under which the bill would be taken up for general debate next Thursday. Three full days would be given over to general discus- sion and then the measure would be taken up, item by item, with three days for amendment before a final vote. Chairman Campbell said the agree- ment for the open rule would eliminate the question of referring the measure to a party conference and would give the House the opportunity to frame the sort of merchant marine measure it wanted to pass, and which it would be willing to stand on. Opposition in Ranks. There was said to be vigorous opposi- tion in the republican ranks to any at- tempt to give the bill right of way under a rule which would prevent other than committee amendments, and alread, with amendments in order indications were that democrats, working jointly with republicans who oppose the bill, would endeavor to reimpose excess profits and surtaxes as a means of pro- viding funds for ships. = Democratic leaders predicted a flood of amendments would be offered, including a provision sponsored by the dry element barring liquor on American ships. _Another point expected to result in a fight will be any proposal under which foreign ships would be permitted to engage in coastwise trade. Senate Danger Point. Notwithstanding signs of an impend- ing fight in the House, the Senate is re- garded by advocates of the measure as the most dangerous point. The democrats already have de- clared, individually and through their organization in the last campaign, almost solidly against the measure, and a large number of republicans, including Senators Borah, Idaho; La i Follette, Wisconsin; Capper, Kansas, and others, have made open declara- tions of war against {t. Senator Ransdell has spoken in its behalf. President to Stand Firm. President Harding, it was reiter- ated at the White House, will stand solidly behind the effort for prompt enactment of the measure, and the statement by Chairman Lasker said the taxpayer had been getting “the biggest line of humbug and bankum that could be possibly handed out” at the hands of opponents of the meas- ure.. Mr. Lasker said that in the fiscal year before the present Shipping Board came into office, that of 1920, the operating loss was between $150,- 000,000 and $200,000.000. Losses of the Shipping Board for this year were placed by the chair- man at between $40,000,000 and $50,- 000,000, but he said that, on the whole, more would be returned to the Treas- ury than was withdrawn, because of liquidation. He said the board had asked for $50,000,000 for the fiscal vear of 1924. 0.E. 5. GRAND CHAPTER INGTALLS OFFICERS Ceremonies at Closing Session of 17th Triennial Session—Wash- ingtonian Honored.

Taft today took out mem- bership in the sixth annual roll call of the District of Columbia Chapter, American Red Cross. The Acacia Mutual Life Association reported today that it was 100 per cent Red Cross, every employe and of- ficer here having subscribed to the sixth annual roll call of the District chapter. One hundred and seventy-seven dol- lars were turned over as the result of the patriotic response of this business house. This record was matched by the home service section of the Red Cross, which also reported 100 per cent enrollment. A determined effort will be made next week to have every business firm, institution, club or society be- come 100 per cent Red Cross. Four- minute speakers will be sent from the campaign headquarters, 1414 F street northwest, Main 8527, upon short no- tice to address lm{| gathering of em- loyes or organization. D!n response to the appeal of Mrs. Theodore W. Richards, secretary of the District chapter,: for more volun- teers at large for the roll call a num- ber of women reported at headquar- ters for any service, including Mrs. Percy Myers, Mrs. Robert Johnston and Miss Kathleen Jonnston, the wife and daughter of the rector of St. John's Church, Lafayette square; Mrs. Ernest Wilkinson, Mrs. Percy Randell and Mrs. Richard arlow, Mrs. Simon Wolf, Chevy Chase; Miss Wittman, Miss Lillian Reeves.

Department Expected to Beat Police in Enrollment Race. The value of the District of Colum- bia chapttr of the American Red Cross to the people of Washington was further attested today when the tenth and fifteenth engine companies, commanded by Capt. J. T. Rossiter and Capt. H. W. Lusby, respectively, and both of the 3rd battalion, report- ed that every member of those two organizations had taken out member- ship in the local chapter. It also was reported that out of the 190 men in the 3rd cattallion, 157 had joined the Red Cross. The'balance are due to_enl!st soon, it was added. For the past several days maxi- mum memberships have been report- ed from the fire department with the result that, although there never was any public declaration of a race with their brother policemen, the firemen may close up their work first, it was intimated. On the other hand, Maj. Sullivan is confident that his men are doing their best and will bend every effort to add another laurel to the work of the police in this city. Only the third, fourth, fifth, eighth, tenth _uxd elev- enth precincts and woman's bureau remain to be heard from, and in sev- eral of these just a few more dol- lars will complete the work for 1922. —_— HELD ON THEFT CHARGE.

The northwest region comprises a territory of about 400,000 square miles, in which not more than 7.000 white people live, the speaker declared. Several times as many black aborigines are in the country. Many of these men, some of whom are seven feet in height, are wild and con-{ stitute a danger to settlers. One mis- sion station has suffered seriously from the depredations of both wild men and wild dogs. The country, though, accord- ing to Mr. Adams, is destined to be a great live stock-producing region, espe- cially the region inland. Already hun- dreds of thousands of cattle are shipped from two of the ports and the herds are being enlarged.
