Americanization work among un- B naturalized residents of the District M| of Columbia, now struggling under tremendous handicaps, was cham- pioned by a group of public-spirited .lund patriotic citizens last night, and steps were taken not only to elim- inate that problem from the National Chpital, but set an example for other muniefpalities throughout the coun- try to follow. Meeting In the Board of Trade rooms in The Star building at the call of Arthur C. Moses, who, with Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy and Assoclate Justice Frederick L. Sid- dons of the District Supreme Court and O. T. Moore, chief naturalization examiner, about ten days ago, formed a nucleus of a general committee to work out this problem, a number of Washingtonlans formed an organiza- tion “to promote Americanization work in the public schools.” Justice Siddons Speaks. Temporary Chairman Moses called the meting to order and the opening address was made by Justice Siddons. who declared it the plain civic duty of every one to give support to the proposal for more money and teach- ers for the Americanization school. :Supuurt of the school is through an- {nual appropriation by Congress, he |sald, adding that this appropriation i MRy go out any time on a point of i | { | order. He declared the teachers should be placed on a permanent basis and attached to the regular staff. “There is no more important work in the public schools taday than Ameri- canizing the foreign born,” he adde There are 30,000 foreign born in the District, Justice Siddons continued, 30 per cent of whom are not citizens of the United States, and there is a jdemusd coming from this element jmaking it the plain civic duty of ev fone to give support to this work, he i 1 said. The platform of the committee was !stated by Mr. Moses as follows: “First, to secure an priation’ for Americ lfor the District of Columbfa. Would Co-Ordinate Agencies. Second, to co-ordinate various agen- cles of ‘the city now engaged in Americanization work. ! Third, to conduct a survey of the iforeign situation in its relationship to illiteracy; and, “ourth, to co-operate with other state_organizations of a like charac- ter, looking to a national uniform policy.” | Following Justice Siddons' talk, Mr. 1Moses was unanimously elected chai man of the organization, with powers to appoint an executive committel !He named Chief Justice McCo {Thorpe, editor of 1 ,” Amerlcan 8 Legion: Mrs. Lyman B.

Dr. { ]1 i 1 Johnny Washington Claims His Brother, With Similar Name, Was Wanted. Johnny Washington, recently ad- judged in contempt of court &s a viola- tor of an injunction secured by the ‘Washington Terminal, to prevent the small hackers from soliciting fares un- der the archway of Union station, was released on his personal bond yester- day by Chief Justice McCoy, pending a " hearing next Thursday. _Johnny ! clalms it was his brother John w was enjoined and not himself. brother, Wesley Washington. an under- tuker, told the court of the unusual condition in the family, having two boys named John and Johnny. Attorney Edmund Brady asked an ad- Journment until next Thursday, to in- vestigate the story of the two brothers 80 similarly named. Mr. Brady charge that in the litigation between the com. pany and the small hackers about the sftuation at Union station there had been perjury in the Folice Court. The chief justice, taking this suggestion to be an appeal to the sympathy of the court, took occasion to criticize what he called the faflure of the Terminal officials to protect the public from dan- ger when the cabs of the Terminal Taxi- cab company were not used. The court said he and his wife and children recently, golng to the tation in a cab hired uptown, were forced to disembark in the second afsle of the covered entrance and no protection was afforded them in crossing in front of the terminal cabs using the first aisle. He suggested that the portion of the public not having the price to pay for the Terminal cabs was entitled to pro- tection from the officlals of the station. ‘The matter before him, the court said, would, of course, be decided purely on the law, but as Mr. Brady had appealed to sympathy the court thought he could speak of the conditions us he had no- ticed them. Attorney Raymond Neudecker de- fended Washington and. claimed he should not be punished, as he was not 2 party to the proceeding and the up- plication for the contempt recited that it was aimed at John Washington named in the case. §14,1T0851.88 1.8, BONDS ARE RETIRED 1922 Report of Register Says War Savings Figure Largely in Returns.

V. Speelman, made public last night, The one- fourth cent was listed among Dis- trict of Columbia Interest coupons In the sum of $8,106.6415. The retirement, it was explained, was “principally due to the great amount of war savings securities and interest coupone functioned, and to the heavy transactions resulting from exchange and cancellation of tempo- rary for permanent coupon bonds." Che total of securities surrendered in 1922 “was conslderably less than n the year 1221. This was due” it was explained, “to the stopping of victory transactions owing to the re- demption call on 33 per cent victory notes and the diminishing of the transactions on temporary exchang or the exchange of the temporary for permanent bonds, the greater amount of the permanent bonds hav- ing been issued during the previous fiscal year.” $0.504,137,950 New Paper.
