Mondell of Wyoming, republican leader in the House, who retires after a quarter of a century of legislative service, was presented with a silver service yesterday by his colleagues. The House stood in recess for half an ‘hour while addresses of presenta- tion and acceptance were made. As Representatives Madden, re- ublican, Illinois, and Garrett of nnessee, the democratic leader, lauded his services to state and nation, Mr. Mondell was unable to keep back the tears.

'WORKERS DEAD IN RIOTS One Explanation for Mobilization Is That Unemployed Are Being Taken Off Streets. { By Wireicas to The Star and New York Tribune Copyright, 1923 BERLIN, March 3—The Polish gov- ernment has ordered the mobilization of all classes from 1873 to 1899, ac- cording to dispatches from Warsaw. The mobilization order includes re- serve officers, engineers, veteri- narlans and physicians and embraces all ranks from privates to captains. Poland’s move, it is feared, presages | what has been feared here would | yards. The purpose of the bill is to reduce freight charges on heavy com- | modities, espactally coal. Tt provides for reasonable switching charges be- tween railroads over each other's and in the event that a rea-| cannot be agreed upon all be fixed by the Inter-| erce Commission The House dlsagreed on the amendment Trafic Probe Urged. The Robinson amendment for an investigation of trafic conditions j provides that investigation shall i be made, pacticularly with refer- ence to accidents and damages to persons and property, and the most reltable means for protecting the public from danger. The reselution { provides that a report shall be made by the committee or subcommittee to the Senate next December. McKinley Blocks Traction Probe.

The alley dwellers in Washington, variously estimated from 10,000 to 14,000 persons, in all likelihood will | | be compelled, under the law, to vacate the alley dwellings on June 1. Con- gress last night had failed to pass any legislation extending the time in which the alley dwellings may be oc- cupled legally. On the Senate calendar is a bill 'reporled by the Senate District com- mittee authorizing the District Com- missioners to arrange the alley Senate | of lilinots objected to | Senator | declined, saying that there | desired, without a new Investigation. | he predicted the | cents | r the ap-| come to pass from the very begin- ning of the Ruhr vcoupation—exten- sfon of the conflict to the east and along llnes more serfous than those of “passive resistance’’ The apprehension here is fanued by reports that soviet Russia has al- ready countered Poland’s move by a similar mobilization order. Working Classes Excited. Great excitement, the Warsaw dis- antmates the working classes of Poland as a result of the government's move, and unemploy- ment riots have swept the Pollsh capital during the week. Only today it became known that four workers have been killed and many wounded in these riots, whioh marked demon- strations against speculation and the high cost of living. The Polish mintster of publio works later received a delegation of unem- ployed, which rejected the food ra- tions offered them by the government and demanded work. The delegation llkewise rejected the government's suggestion that they go to France, from where they feared they might | be compelled to go to the Ruhr to take the places of Germans who are resisting the French ocoupation. The number of unemployed in the Polish capital, Warsaw dispatches say, ex- ceeds 100,000, Another Explanation. Less excitable minds in Berlin however, believe the Polish moblliza- 8 intended to take the unem- loyed off the streets rather than | that it signifies the outbreak of the long-expected Russo-Polish clash or | military’ co-operation with France against Germany. Evidence of this s seen in the fact that the newly mobilized men are called to remain ir the service only two months. In other circles it s declared that the two-month period has been met | because the next elght weeks are | likely to be crucfal, both as regards j Russo - Polish relations and = the } Franco-German con P! fct. i’PLAN NATIONAL DRIVE . TO CONSERVE FORESTS | BY the Associated Press | NEW YORK, March3—The Federated {American Engineering Societies and the United States forest servige have agreed upon a nation-wide campalgn to conserve the country's forests, it | was announced today by the presi- dent of the federation, Dean Mortimer E. Coley of the Unliversity of Michi- gan. It {s planned, he said. to enlist engincers in all parts of the country in the reforestation movement, with the aid of the state forestry services, organization of farmers, universities, railroads and other bodies, it was said. Charles H. MacDowell of Chicago 1s | | chairman of the engineering com. mittee which is arranging the plan Other members are S. H. McCrory, chief of the division of agricultural engineering, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture; W, H. Hoyt of Duluth, Minn., and J. C. Ralston of Spokane, Wash. Engineers repre- senting thirty national and local en- dwellings in three zones, the first zone to be vacated June 1, 1923; the second to be vacated June 1, 1924, and the third to be vacated June 1, 1925. At a late hour last night there semed no prospect of getting action on this measure, and the fact that it also will have to be acted upon by the House strengthened the bellef that this legislation would fail. Some of the members of Congress have felt that if the time was post- poned for the vacation of the alley dwellings the alley dwellers never would move out. Among these Is Senator Jones of Washington, a mem- ber of the District committee. He sald last night that he was willing to agree to the zoning proposition, but that he was opposed to granting any more blanket extensions of time. He added that he thought the peopls who now live in the alleys would be able to find places to live elsewhers and that he was strongly in favor of closing up these alley dwelling: The original act proposing to close up the alley dwellings was passed in Beptember, 1914. The time has been extended, howevar, trom Congress to Congress, largely due to the congest- ed conditions that arose here during the war. ‘Whether the District authorities will move to compel the eviction the alley dwellers June 1, it Congre: makes no provision extending the time for the use of the alley dwell- ings, remains to be seen.

March 8—For- mation of “law and order leagues” in every community in South Carolina is suggested by Gov. McLeod in a state- ment {ssued today. The suggestion ‘was inspired, according to his state- ment, by his reading newspaper ac- counts of the organization of such a league at Salem In Florence county. “I wish publicly to commend these patriotic citizens for the splendid step they have taken and to express my- self as favoring the organization of similar law and order leagues all over th? state,”” the governor's statement sald. ‘They can create a wholesome public sentiment in favor of enforcement of the laws. They can be of material assistance to officers in the hending of violators of the la: furnishing information and by sup- porting_the officers in the perform- ance of their duty. They can do much toward procuring action on the part of officers who are lax and in- different, he sald. AID TO LINCOLN DEAD.

Notios 2 e THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ( This photograph shows Wolf, a police dog. executing the dificult feat of climbing a Iadder. Police Dog’s Wonderful Feats Amaze Watching Thousands Wolf, the police dog, overcame the handicap of an extension fire ladder before thousands of amazed specta- tors yesterday afternoon on the 11th street side of The Star building, and ascended two storles to a window of the building during an exhibition of stunts showing the adaptability of this type of dog for police work. Under command of C. W. Rose of Ithaca, N. Y., his trainer, Wolf went through the maneuver of telephon- ing for assistance in case of emer- gency with the assistance of a table and stand on the sidewalk. Troubled by Ladder. The final act of his exhibition was walk along the edge of the roof of The Star building, on a ledge just wide enough to take care of Wolt's four feet. John W. Staggers, owner of the dog, was present during the exhibition, and afterward received jcongratulations of scores of friends and admirers of Wolf. ‘The ladder-climbing stunt was a difficalt feat for the dog. Unaccus- tomed to extension ladders because of the distance between rungs in some of its sections, Wolf had diffi- culty In negotiating footholds and had to be aided by Mr. Rose during this part of the journey. A crowd on the mezzanine balcony of the bullding also served to cause the dog a2 bit of worry, but he made the climb finally and scrambled. over the top into the arms of his waiting master. Switches Masters. Young Mr. Johnson, a vplunteer prisoner, aided Wolf in the demon- stration’of an attack on a prisoner. Wolf was assisted in the attack by a friend, Alex von Isarwinkel, an- other police dog and the property of Mr. Rose. The protection afforded by five pairs of trousers and three coats, hip boots, leggina and a switch barely served to keep the grlnoner from any injury. The exhi- ition wound up by the dogs unseat- ing the prisoner and leaving him in a heap on the floor of the stand. How Wolf will change masters and turn against his own trainer when the reins of authority have been relinquished b;( him also was demonstrated when Mr. Rose turned Wolf over to an assistant and at- tempted to snatch a hat from the bristling, mwllng. Jumping dog. Mr. Rose said, following the exhi- bition, that Wolf is an example of the manner in which a dog can be trained to obey commands through confidence and affection for his master. Love for Master Vital. “Obedience” he saild, “can be ob- tained by two methods The first and least effective in time of need is by making the dog fear hig master w0 greatly that he will obey for fear of punishment. Pure logio will show what such & dog would do in case his master needed his assistance when helpless. ““The second and approved mathed {8 by training a dog to love his mas- ter.” When love for his owner can be instilled Into a dog there are few things that are not possible. A dog will disregard instinct in his desire to please the man to whom he i3 at- tached. And when the dog is needed most, in case the master should be- come helpless, it is then that the dog will reach the heights of serv- ice for his owner. That's why. I have made it a practice to shun ab- solutely all or any methods whereby the dog would be subjected to a fear of the man who gives him com- mands.” FAMED NEUROLOGIST DIES.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 3 —Twelve liquor running craft hovering outside the three-mile 1imit were joined late today by two schooners, making & total of fourteen vessels now in the latest liquor fleet off Atlantio High- lands, N. J. One of the ships wae re- ported by the coast guard to be a medium-sized liner, tending to co firm the story that a British pool had pressed a liner Into service and that she had left Glasgow, Scotland. with upward of $700,000 werth of whisky aboard. The entire fleet was estimated in liquor running circles today to have brought from Scotland and the Ba- hamas not less than $5,000,000 and not more than $7,000,000 worth of -| whisky, bootleg prices. This includes Mquor known to have been loaded at the Bahamaa by two schooners, one tank freighter and two yachts, all of which -have not yet joined the liquor fleet. By the time these ar- rive it {s reasonable to belleve that several of the ships now near Am- brose lightship will have lightered their cargo and departed. so it {s not reasonable to suppose the fleet will be larger than it now is. However, thres other vessels are reported lving oft Asbury Park waiting for a chance to deliver shipments In that terri- tory. Coast Rough in Winter. The Asbury Park waters are too rough most of the winter to permit of small boats running the liquor In- shore, but the calm of the last days 18 reported to have caused the skip- pers of three rum vessels, in answer to signals from shore, to take up thelr station off Asbury Park to await small boats. The liquor sup- plies of resorts and the inland trade supplied from this territory are re- ported low and this accounts for the efforts to land goods there. During the summer months it is expected that much liquor will be run ashore and inland from this point. The peak of the liquor running load at present {s being run in at the Shrews- bury river, Atlantic Highlands and other New Jersey, lLong Island and Staten Island coves. In Atlantic Highlands today, ac- cording to various news sources, there was greater activity among “fishermen” than for months. The big fleet of fishing vessels which hov- ers about the fish fertilization plant at Port Monmouth, N. J., was reported today to have been putting to sea in twos and threes. Motor boats from the Shrewsbury, Keansburg pler and Water Witch also were re- ported active in running liquor ashore. Speedy Liquor Boats. Although it was ‘mecessary for all auxitary liquor running craft to round Sandy Hook, on which a coast guard station {s located, the coast guard was unable to intercept any of the liquor-running motor boats. The reason for this, of course, is the su- perior speed of the fast small boats used to run in.the liquor. Then, agaln, it is impossible for the coast guard to distinguish between the liquor-running smmil boats and the pleasure craft which dot New Jersey waters on days such as today, when the westher was beautiful for sail- ing. Deputy Surveyor Willlam R. Sand. ers this afternoon went down the ew York bay on the Cutter Hudson to inspect the schooner Victor, which was washed aground with two sallors on board, at Barren Island, Jamalca bay. On the arrival of the cutter Hudson the two sallors were placed under arrest on & charge of abetting & conspiracy to smuggle liquor into the United States in violation of the Volstead act. The only evidence against the men seems to be the fact that many empty liquor cases were found aboard the wrecked schooner, and the record of the craft, which it is charged was seised by the govern- ment and sold as & liquor runner early last year. ‘The schooner Victor was reported in good condition, and steps were taken by the government agents to salvage her. The Victor was sold at auction for 35400, customs agents it she 1s seizsed and sold agail e _will have earned a neat sum for the ‘goyernment besides an alleged fortune for her opsrators. 67th Congress Breaks Record With 4 Sessions For the first time in there were four sessions, The sixty-seventh Congress was in session 416 days.

From Houston to New Orleans the might was uninterrupted _ The last 200 miles from Lake Charles was covered in two hours flat. Journey Without Mishap. The first day’s journey was without mishap, according to Capt. Thomas G. Lanpier, commanding the squad- ron. Low clouds interfered some- what with visibility, but there were no_accidents. Most of the day's flight was at an altitude of 5,000 feet and above, the squadron maintaining a V-shaped wedge formation. The flagship, Man of War, with Capt. Lanpier and Lieut. I. G. Mor- man, was the first to land, followed at two-minute intervals by the other planes. Landing conditions were ideal, the planes coming up into the head of a steady breeze. Overhaul One Plane. An immedlats overhauling was given plane No. 2, piloted by Lieut. C. B. Austin and Lleut. N. Longtel- fow. The other planes wers found to” be in first-class shape.
