The White House confirmed reports to the effect that Ambassador Warren has decided to resign his post as ambassador to Japan at an early date. i Tt was pointed out that while the resignation has not been received by the President, tife latter has been ad- vised by Mr. Warren that his personal affalrs require his early resignation | from government office, and that the resignation will be accepted. It was added. however, that the tion felt Mr. Warren had important task in cementing friendly relations between Japan and the United States, and that if he feit he had done all consistent with the personal sacrifices entailed in retaining the post ho would be pernitted to retire at his pleasure.

That Congress has appropriated money for the repaving of streets in good condition in the District and neglected “mud-holes,” and\etreets in thessettled part of the city which are in desperate need of repair. was the sentiment expressed yesterday after- Toon at a meeting of the streets and avenues ccommittes of the Washing- ton Board of Trade, in the board- rooms in The Star bullding. H The committee. under the leadership | of George C. Shinnm, chairman, has been making an exhaustive study of the street condition in the National Capital. The members belleve that members, in order to legislate for the real needs of the District, should take the time to drive through the city and observe the condition of some of the | highwaye. Tour of City Planned. All mlembers of the' committee possessing automobiles have in the last weel put these machines at the disposal of congressmen who would | care to look further into the situa- i tion. Among those who have agreed | to make the trip of inspection with | members of the committee are Rep- resentatives Ben Johnson, B. K. Focht. W. E. Oliver, Frank Murph Walter Magee, Harvey Wilkinsen and B. Lowrey. These representa- tives have Indfcated their interest in the matters of streets for the District to Mr. Shinn and are ecxpected to prove of assistance in getting through | adequate approriations for this im- portant local need. ! Committee members Zeel that with ! the aid of these men the real fucts in the local situation can be laid before Congress. { Streets Neglected.

Cory Announces | Increased Facilities to Aid Hungry and Homeless. - After the New Year there will be no excuse for “pannandlers,” “mpoch- ers” or other beggars in Washing- ton, according to Rev. G. W. Cor: superintendent of the Gospel Mission, 214 John Marshall place. Rev. Cory, who has lately come to Washington. after six years' successful incumbency as the head of a large mission at Wheeling, W. Va., following a plan put into operation in that industrial center, has had 100,000 tickets print-| ed, which are to be judiciously dis- tributed in strips of five to profes- sional and business men, department stores, homes, etc. Each ticket is I‘Clod for food and shelter at the mis- sion. This institution maintained for the homeless, the superintendent an- nounces, stands ready to provide 20,- 000 meals or 20,000 beds to persons in need of them. With the world war Washington's bread line and constant army of panhandlers almost entirely disappeared. Now they are reappearing, to some extent. Most of such men who find their way here, however, according to Supt. Cory, are worthy and really need aid. “If & mendicant receives the ticket with evidences of disdain or disap- pointment,” he states emphatically, “that sutomatically proves him un- worthy and the man or woman prof- fering the ticket should feel not the slightest compunction. When you give a worthy man a quarter you help him, but when you filve him one of these tickets ;you help him even more, for nowhere -else can he get so much for his quarter than at the Gospel Mission. A visit there will convince him that there is still a chance in the world for him. ‘When such an unfortunate reaches the mission he will find that they don't stand on ceremony there—that he will be provided with a meal or more if he needs it and one or more nights’ ghelter, according to his nees- sities, at no cost. Rev.«Cory strongly urges all citisens of Washington to co-operate in ridding the streets.of the National Cflxufl t be , and adds that he and his staff will do all in their power to obtain work for any man needing it.

And | o the carefully laid-out method of | procedure which was expected to land {in the net many nationally known ifigures probally will prove more or | leas of a flasco, Already here in the National Capi- | tal jt has had the effect of compelling many people to make nev arrange- | I ments for their celebratfon. There | will be the ueual dances and mid- | i night dinners and there will be a! very brief period of noise and ex- citement in the hotel dining rooms, in the cozy supper clubs and places of that sort. But there will be an utter absence of intoxicants in most of these places. Even the people who are used to! “carrying it on the hip” have been| tipped off to leave their stock at home. And they can be expected to observe | the warning for the most part, inas- | much as the supply cost real money, | and it would be at least rather foolish | to_take chances on losing it. So the restaurant, club and hotel ! celebrations will be entirely within the law. But thére are many who have perfected their plans for a good time. The supply available is large Not only is this so here in Washing- | ton, but the confidential reports which | 1have reached Maj. Haynes indicate that there is more liquor—bad and good—scattered throughout the coun- try than in months. The dense fogs which have shrouded the entire Atlantic coast for the last week or more aided in this. The rum- ! running fleet was able to land cargoes in the hundreds of inlets that mark the coast from the Gulf of Mexico to (CABINET MEMBERS - AIRCREDITVIEWS Hoover and Wallace Heard | ‘by Senate Committee on Farm Legislation. a | 1 l Secretaries Hoover of the Com- merce Department and Wallace of the Department of Agriculture conferred today with the Senate banking com- mittee on features of pending bills to extend short-time farm marketing credits and provide long-time credits for the cattle industry. Members of the committee s2id a bill would be reported to the Senate, probably next week, embodying fea } tures taken from the four farm credit measures on which ~hearings have been held. Thev said there seemed to be agreement that farm loan banks should be permitted to discount nine- day paper for the farmers-and that such paper should be rediscountable by the federal reserve banks. The committee also is sald to look with favor upon features of the'Capper bill for the creation of banking cor- rations_organized by private cap- tal to handle three-year or long- time credits for cattle growers. Secretary - Hoover, the first of the cabinet members to be heard, was un- derstoodl to have expressed a prefer- ende for the Lenroot bill, but to have indicated . some hesitancy as to an indorsement of the extension propos- that measure in the time for rediscount of agricultural paper. Mr., Hoover; it also was sald, op- sed use of the Federal Reserve a8 an agency in the extension of farm oredits, preferring utilization of the Farm Loan Board, which, he was said to feel, should be made the agricultural financial agency of the government.

In addition. most of the eastetn cities received a large supply whic was smuggled in covered with Christ- mas trees from the Canadian Lorder. The bootleg ring took advantage of the hollday to load hundreds of cars with whisky and other hard liquors and then to cover them up with spruce and pine trees, seemingly de- signed for the holiday trade. These trees were sold for a song after the whisky had been secured and care- tully hidden. ent of so much liquor has had g effect on the price. Usual when there Is some especial occasion which seems to make neceseary the ex- tensive use of of celebration, prices have been pushed p to as much as the traffic would bear. But right now that is not so. whisiky of Lalf a_dozen well brands is on sale for less than $100 a case; rye and bourbon at $1 a bottle less than the imported article end here is a great abundance of Cana- dian ale which is sald to have ar- rived disguised as Christmas trees. Oficials Not Downmeast. But the prohtbition enforcement offi- cials are not downcast. Tiey say that they will get a whole lot of this liquor before it is consumed and they will see { | that an example is made of those who | buy it. M It is an open secret here that . Haynes has been hopsful that be 1l be able to get into his net some of the so-called “leading citizens,” who, in the past. have been the best customicrs of the bootleggers.
