- NARCOTICADDIT | PLEADS FORRELEF Mrs. Anna C. Reed Begs for | Treatment When Charged J With Possessing Drugs. UNABLE TO FURNISH BOND Woman Resident of Northeast Washington, Following Arrest, Freely Discusses Her Plight. Pleading for treatment which would take away the desire for nar- copic drugs, Mrs Anna Catherine Reed, twenty-four years old, giving her address as 117 6th street north- east, appeared before United States Commissioner George H. Macdonald today, waived preliminary hearing on & charge of possessing narcoticdrugs and in default of $1,000 bail was sent to jall to await the action of the grand jury. Commissioner Macdon- «ald, however, recommended that she be given the treatment she desired. At the same time three other cases were presented to the commissioner, and each waived hearing. They were held for the action of the grand jury and in default of bail were sent to 3ail. Williamh _Jackson, colored, charged with possession and sale, was held under $3,000 bail. Herman C. Davis, Jjr., <harged with possession, held under $2,000 bail, and David Brenner, pos- session and sale, held under $2,000 bail. Found ta Act of “Cooking Dope.” Mrs. Reed was arrested last night in a hotel retiring room, and when taken into custody, the police report- ed, she was in the act of “cooking dope.” She was trailed to the hotel from 3d and C streets southwest by Policemen R. B. Carroll and Luther E. Allen of No. 4 precinct. She in- formed the police she had purchased morphine from a colored man at 4% and C streets southwest. After being taken into custody she discussed her plight freely with the olice, they say. She said she had een a nurse for three years, during which time she never used narcotics. Later she was given a hypodermic dose for headache, and later took doses of it until it got a strong hold on her. ‘When lined up with other prisoners at police headquarters today she picked out Willlam Jackson, colored. arested at his home, 60 Fenton street, on a charge of possession and sale of the drugs, and told the police that he had sold her “dope. She had made seven attempts to break herself of the habit, she said. Mrs. Reed told how she had dis- posed of a quantity of the dope about the time the police took her into custody. Raided by Detectiven. Detectives Sanders and Evans and Revenue Agent Rakusin made the rald at Jackson's house last night Thirty capsules of alleged narcotic valued at $6. but which would for $30 to addicts, were seized in Jackson's house, according to the de- tectives.

A charge of carrying con- cealed weapons was preferred against her and she will be tried in Juvenile Court. Herman Covington Davis. twenty- three years old, giving his address as 815 10th street. was arrested at New York avenue and th street last night by the narcotic squad and charged with unlawful possession of narcotics. It is alleged that he had three cap- sules and a “deck” of dope in his possession, ORIENT COLLEGES FUND COMPLETED Women’s Union Committee Announces $3,000,000 Is Raised to Promote Work.

(Copyright National Newspaper Service.) INDORSES ZHLMAN TRAFFG MEASURE Albert E. Berry Says D. C. Bill Under Consideration Promises Cure of Evils. WILL ELIMINATE DANGE! Urges Congress to Enact the Leg- islation, as Proposed, With- out Amendment. Indorsement of the Zihlman traffic bill, which police officlals and motor- ists have declared capable of ending the dangerous traflio situation in Washington, was volced today by Al- bert E. Berry, one of the leading officials of the Washington Safety Council and president of the Bell Telephone Company here. Mr. Berry declared he would like to see the measurc become a law immediately. Sees Great Good in BILL.* “I have read the Zihlman bill and T certainly believe it can do great good.” he said. “One of its best points is {that it provides for the creation of a traffic court, presided over by a judge who would not only be able to devote his whole judicial time to traffic cases, but would be given a wider range of authority, which is necessary if traf- fie regulations are to be properly in- forced. “Whatever minor objections indl- viduals might have to comparatively unimportant paragraphs are more than balanced by the bill's best fea- tures. Nothing can be 100 per cent good and if It is found that some few features might be objectionable they may be amended by the next Con- gress. T say, urge Congress to pass the Zihlman bill without amendments now. Reflects General Sentiments. Mr. Berry's statement Is a reflection of the sentiment to be found among scores of prominent business men to- day. It is belleved by many that his stand will be heartily indorsed by the Washington Safety Council as a whole when it meets again. There is en eager appeal on every hand for the immedlate passage of the Zihiman ibill so that the District will not have to continue with its present menacing traffic situation until the next Con- gress is convened. A dispatch received from Cleveland, Ohio, today shows that the Imposi- tion of jail sentences on speed maniacs and reckless drivers {s re- ducing the number of persons ar- rested for such offenses to almost nothing. One year ago, the dispatch sald, both classes were famillar to the terrorized Cleveland pedestrians. Now they are declared to be “the rarest species in Cleveland.” the reason is this: 500 Motorists Sentenced. From January 1, to December 31, 1921, more than 500 motorists who were arrested for various breaches of the traffic regulations were sen- tenced to either the county jail or the workhouse. Among that number were several women. Rich and poor were treated alike and the judges of the traffic court drew no class or color lines. A few days working in a laundry or out with a road gang was sufficient to convince the convict- ed motorists that “it's better to be safe than sorry.” The effect of these Jjail sentences is shown in_ the reduced number of automobile fatalities thus far this year. Although Cleveland has a pop- ulation perhaps twice as large as Washington's, only elght persons have been killed in traffic in the Ohio city, while sixteen have succumbed to_the same cause in this city. Not only have more motor cycle policemen been added to Cleveland's police force, but firemen have been assigned to direct traffic in front of schools during recess hours or while the kiddies are going to or from their classes. The firemen are taken from engine houses closest to the schools they guard. Ask for Reports. A sincere invitation for every pe- destrian to help curb the speeding of commercial vehicles was issued vesterday by several score repre- sentatives of as many large business houses here, who met with the trus- tees of the Washington safety council in the Chamber of Commerce. These business men declared they would be glad to have any person notify them if they saw one of their trucks being driven carelessly or at an ex- cessive rate of speed. This s virtually an appeal from every business house in the city for pedestrians to report careless drivers, as the same proposition will be put to the other big firme here, and is sure of Indorsement, safety counecil officers sald. Trucks are limited by law to & speed of twelve miles an hour between intersections, and eight miles an hour over crossings or around corners. 1If you see a truck going faster, or being driven care- lessly, follow these instructions: . . What to Do. 1. Write down the name of the own- er, which is always painted some- where on the body. 2. Take the District numbers on its license tags,” note the plade and’ time of vour observations and especially the nature of the driver's violations. . Send a report containing these facts to the owner of the truck, and the chances are strong that the driver will receive a warning that he will rot soon forget. If it is his second offense he_probably will be deprived of the right to endanger human life with that company’s vehicles again. Announcement was made that the first_night &chool for drivers of mo: tor vehicles will be opened in the auditorium of the McKinley Manual Training Sehool, 7th street and Rhode Island avenue northwest, under the auspices of the Washington Safety Council, the coming Tuesday after- noon. It is open to the public, and any person, whether belonging to the council or not, will be more than wel- come. H.

Executed Slayer Lives; Is Taken Back to Chair By the Associated Press, LITTLE ROCK, February 3.— NEED § TEACHERS, BUT LAW FORBIDS Limit Adds. to :Congestion .in| Eighth Grades Since New-Semester. OPEN FOUR NEW CLASSES Greatest Crowding Reported in Mount Pleasant and South ‘Washington. Limitations placed by law on the number of teachers in the various sal- ary groups are prechiding school au- thoritles from releving the congestion which has developed in. some of the eighth grades of the school system since the inception of the new scholas- tic semester on Thursday, it was sald today. Eight additional teachers are needed immediately, it was pointed out, for as many - eight grade classes which should be opened to eliminate over- crowded conditions in these grades. The officials, however, are restricted from appointing more eighth grade teachers, who come under group five of the salary classification, because of the provisions in the District appro- priation bill. Four New Classes Opened. Although four new eighth grade classes have been opened since the beginning of the second semester, they have only partly aided in re- leving the congestion. School au- thorities said that at least elght more eighth grade classes should be started. The greatest points of congestion are in the eighth grades of the schools in Mount Pleasant and South Washington, although the eighth grade classes in the schools in some other sections also are crowded with forty-eight and fifty pupils. Capper Bill Correction. _ Such conditions will continue, offi- cials explained, until the limitations placed on the number of teachers in the various salary groups are chang- ed. The Capper teachers' salary and school reorganization bill which is now before the House, they said, pro- vides a correction for this situation School_officials have studied the re- sults of the school reorganization which occurred at the beginning of the new semester, and noted that while the high school enroliment in- creased approximately 700, the graded school enrollment grew but little. The midyear increase in the elementary schools, however, has never been jlarge. Twenty-One New Teache The growing high sehool population, the officials said, indicates that many of the pupils who -heretofore left school after the completion of the elc- mentary course are continuing their studles in the high school, and it also bears out the statement that Wash- ington is a high school city. Since the beginning of the second semester twenty-one teachers have been givea appointments, which will be acted on by the board of education at its meeting Wednesday. Seventeen of those appointed were members of the midyear graduating class of the Wilson Normal School, and three of them are domestic sclence teacher: Proposals of W. P. Eno'§ Commit- tee Placed in Hands of Assist- ant Corporation Counsel, The proposed set of general traffic rules for the guidance of motorists and pedestrians in avoiding accidents will be gone over by Assistant Cor- poration Counsel Ringgold Hart to determine the extent to which they conflict with existing police regula- tions. This announcement was made by Commissioner Rudolph _ vesterday afternoon after he and Commissigner Keller had conferred with Mr. Hart for nearly an hour. The tentative set of general rules were submitted to the Commission- ers a few days ago by William P. Eno, chairman of the committee ap: pointed by the city heads to study the traffic situation here. It is Mr. Eno’s plan to print thou- sands of copies of these rules and distribute them among motorists, pedestrians and school children. The .Commissioners hope to get a report from Mr. Hart ecarly “next week, after which they will decide what action-they should take on the committee's recommendations. RETURNS TO BALTIMORE.

Another school for colored drivers, will be opened the following Tuesday evening, February 13, in the auditorium of .Dunbar High School, 1st near N.street. Both will receive identical instruction. * The school will teach everything about the mechanism of automobiles, laying particular emphasis upon those parts that might cause a serious acci- dent if allowed to become loose or weak, and the rules for safe driving. Thode who have studied the curric lum declared the schools’ driving rules would make motoring more pleasant for every one and reduco the probability of accident to a minimum. Many business houses In Washing- ton have announced they would make ‘{1t financially worth while for their chauffeurs to attend. The schools will give diplomas to all drivers who complets ‘the course: Chauffeurs of commercidl’ trucks ‘who win one of these diplomas will in .many cases find a substantial increase in their envelopes thereafter. Proposed Rules Received. Commissioner Rudolph has received from tho Board of Trade' a:set of traffic rules proposed by & subcom- mittee of that body and approved by the entire membership. They ask for strict enforcement of the right-of- way law and creation of a regulation compelling drivers about to make a turn to draw Over as near as possible to the direction they are about to’ turn. One recommendation, which has previously been strongly opposed by the police and many motorlists, would reduce the distance an automobile is permitted to approach a standing street car from fifteen feet down to eight feet. - In addition; the Board“of Trade would permit the motorist to- con- tinue past the car, even though it has stopped to receive and discharge passengers, Blowly. - -~ * TRAFF RULES SENT FOR LEGAL APROVAL FULL DETAILS OF BRITISH DEBT SETTLEMENT PLAN ANNOUNCED Detaily of the British. debt-funding plan, completed finally in concluding megotiations at the Treasury last night by the world war foreign debt commission and Ambassador Geddes, are fully explained in the following official statement The funding commission met proposed plan for funding the de States. issued by the commission: to consider the final details of the bt of Great Britain to the United Ambassador Geddes was present.

Lieut. Leighton Says Once Noted Engine Has Been Surpassed by Other Designs. The widely known Liberty airplane motor has been surpassed by other engines within the last few years, which now occupy places far in the front. Lieut. B. C. Leighton, in charge of the design section of the bureau of naval aeronautics, so stated in a paper presented before the Society of | Automotive Engineers at the Cosmos Club last night. States “Obvious Fact.' Lieut. Leighton said the Liberty motor was six or seven vears old, and that little or no changes had been made to increase its efficlency since it was first designed. It was, there- fore, obvious that within this period American engineers could have built motors that now rank the Liberty in every respect. Among these engines, which now occupy a-leading place in American _aeronautics, are, Lieut. Leighton said, the Aeromarine U-873, the Wright E-4 and T-2, the Law rance J-1 (air-cooled) and the Curtiss D-12. The design section of the Navy, Lieut. ' Lelghton added. is now ‘at work remodeling the Liberty engine to increase ity efficiency and power, and experiments along this line- are now going forth.

POLISH TROOP PLAN STIRS WAR THREAT Lithuania to Fight if Neutral Zone Is Occupied—Block- ade Would Follow. ( By the Associated Press. PARIS, ebruary 3.—A threat of war |and a menace of blockade were unex- Dected features of today's meeting of the council of the league of nations. M. Bidzikauskas, Lithuanian minister to Germany, declared the Lithuanians would not accept the decision of the league to allow the Poles to occupy a part of the neutral zone between the two countries. He sald they would use force to prevent it. M. Viviani of France said that in such cage the Lithuanian action would in- volve the imposition of a blockade. 1 The council had adopted & resolution entrusting the occupation of the neutral territory by forces divided about equally between Poland and Lithuania. The Lithuanians withdrew from the council chamber after making their protest without changing thelr attitude. Occupation to Follow. The Poles. it was announced by the Polish delegation, would proceed to o cupy their part of the zone with troops. The belief was expressed in leagus circles that the Lithuanians were being encouraged in their resistance by the Russlane. The troubles of the minority populu- tions in Europe, particularly the German minorities in the territory attached to Poland by the treaty of Versailles. oc cupied the attention of the council at yesterday's session. ‘The Polish representative, Prof. Simon Askenazy, appeared at the council's morning meeting, which was held in private. He took the position that the relations of the Polish government with the people residing in its territory con- stituted an internal question over which the league had no jurisdiction, The members of the council were of the opinion that all such minorities were under the jurisdiction of the league, by virtus of the treaty of Versailles and decided, in_ principle, that the matter should 'go to the permanent court of international justice at The Hague. The precise questions embodying the points in dispute will be formulated in private talks among the members of the council, and final action is expected tomorrow. Premier Branting of Sweden took jup the reparation problem without | offering any specific proposal, but to learn If the council would put it on its program. The French opposed such a discussion, as Premier Poin- care had previously indicated they | would, and the ocouncil decided that | this was not an opportune moment to press the matter. As the rules of the council require unanimity, there was no possibility of favorable action; therefore, any discussion was considered Inadvisa- ble. It was made apparent, howeve }mu the council was in a receptive mood should France at any time wish to utilize the league machinery for settlement of the question. D. C.

They so advised Mayor Moore vesterday, and asked for $300 each to defray their expenses. The mavor referred the chiefs, Dr, War Eagie and Amos S. Bear, to Richard Weglein, president of city’ council, who suggested that the welfare department take care of them. “These Tndians” Mr. Weglein said today, “are remnants of a race that once owned all of the land here.
