S. OFFICIAL King Tutankhamen of Egypt was one of the first bankers of history and probably knew as | much about the theory of banking | as many of our present-day bank- ers, Theodore G. Risley, solicitor for the Department of Labor, said in an address last night before the state bank section of the Mary- | | | | land Bankers' Assoclation, in Baltimore. The ancient Egyptians, he de- clared, were experienced banker: and the Chinese also had a com- plete system of bank currency at a time when Luropeans were hardly emerging from the dark ages. Mr. Risley advocated continua- tion of the 3 per cent immigration law, placing the basis for the quota on the census of 1890, in- stead of 1910. chain and_be convenient to all parts of East Washington.

Plans Two Junior Highs. The superintendent sald he plans to establish junior high schools in the old Eastern and Jefferson School buildings at the beginning of the new school term in September. Aug- men and these AT will be the Langley Macfarland Junior High schools. Besides these the Columbia Junior High Sehool. which has been operat- nx in the i High School will cont in use, making five | white junior high schools for the | schools of the first nine divisions. | When the New McKinley High {School is completed, the superintend- {ent said. the Shaw Junior High School {tor colored children will be transfer- {red into the old McKinley. The busi- {ness practice department of Dunbar { High School will then be moved from | that school into the present Shaw building, forming a distinct new chool. This, he said, will relieve the congestion in Dunbar. Colored Schools Planned. he next budget, Dr. Ballou said, red to include a provision for the erection of a new junlor high hool for colored children near Rock |Creek Park. Later, iored junior high school will be ovided for the colored children of Southwest Washington William L.

After strenuous objection by Mr. Houston the board tabled a motlon to (!lsp('n.? with the board presi- dent’s _signature on the_ school pay 10ll.

Topham Makes Suggestion. Looking about at the walls last night, Washington Topham advanced the proposal that the interfor of the old engine house be redecorated and brightened up. Capt. George W. Evans, a veteran land active member, objected to the suggestion that anything be done to hide the age of the old fire house; ! “To me.” said Capt. Evans, “the most refreshing thing about our abode is its antiquity.” i Mr. Topham did not press his pro- posal and it was referred to the com- mittee in charge of the bullding, along with other matters of mainten- ance, for report later. Would Hold Memorial. The association decided to com- municate with the Washington Na- tional Monument Society on the ad- visabllity of staging a celebration on July 4 of this year, which would be the seventy-fifth anniversary of the | laying of the cornerstone of the mon- {ument. The proposal was made by 1 | John Clagett Proctor. No definite steps will be taken until the monu- ment society has been heard from. The association, on motion of Capt. Evans, extended a vote of appreci tion and thanks to its president. Theodore W. Noyes, for the part he played in having a joint committee of Congress recognize the existence of Washington's surplus revenues in the United States Treasury. Mr. Noyes Thanked Tn presenting his motion Capt. Ev- ans declared that only those who tion closely know what strenuous effort Mr. Noyes applied to the task | of defending the city's claim. o‘:‘“'a ehn\'e gflll been fighting togeth for financlal equity for the District.” said Mr. Noyes, in reply, “and the Oldest Inhabitants have stood solidly he movement.” D ane Hvane pald tribute to the life- work of former Justice Job Barnard and Alexander Grant, members of the ausociation, who died since the last mesting, John B.

For the purpose of ralsing $35,000 to add to $65,000 now in hand, the total amount to be used for & new build- ing, the Central Unfon Mission will launch a “brick-selling contest” next Thursday, With the $35.000 which the mission hopes to raise over a period of two weeks, a new mission children’s home will be erected.

Running for Thirty-Nine Years. The Central Union Mission been in existence for almost thirty-nine ears, and during the past elght or so it has been on of John S. Bennett, the su- perintendent. The children’s home is under the immediate direction of Mrs, Bennett. During the period of its ex- istence the Central Union Mission has cared for hundreds of children and thousands of unfortunate men and women. The children’s home is and has been for years filled to capacity, this capacity being limited to thirty-two. Plans for the new building will give a capacity of 100 for children, and Mr. Bennett states that there is a demand at this time that numbers of children be constantly taken care of. The average number of men sheltered at night is 165, this number being al- most the capacity of the present building. In explaining the need for the new building, and how the additional $35,- 000, when raised, will be spent, Mr. Bennett said: “The old building which we are now occupying _has now almost become useless, For example, our heating plant has almost gone to pleces and we find it impossible to heat the up- per stories or dormitories, where those unfortunates who are compelled to come to us each night are forced to sleep. In some parts of the build- ing the plaster on the walls and ceilings is falling off. We need a new building. if we are to continue the great work we are doing in Wash- ington. “In the collection of this money through our brick-selling contest, I wish to state that every cent which we get will go into the building, not one penny being spent for service of any kind, except printing and such miscellaneous matters that we find necessary to use in raising this money. This means that those who buy a brick can feel assured that practically every cent will go directly into the building fund. ~We have eliminated in this Instance every ex- pense that is usually incident to ef- forts of this kind Surrounded by Washingt Containing seven million feet miles of improved streets. “The Triangle of between Connecticut, Massachusetts and Cathedral avenues Over four million feet of land sold.

S. En- try Open Fire. HUGHES STUDIES REPORT First Controversy Argued One Be- tween Britain and France. Germany at Bar. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Almost at the moment the opposi- tion is opening fire on the project to take the United States into the Per- ‘manent Court of International Justice, official reports reach Washington of the first active operations of the world tribunal. Tonight in New York, before the Bronx Board of Trade, Senator Hiram W. Johnson expects to hurl a broadside at Presi- dent Harding’s proposal. Meantime, Secretary Hughes has had opportu- ity to study the formal record of the first international dispute reterred to | the court, consisting of the proceed- ings issued by the league of nations. The record arrived In Washington this week. It covers the extraor- dinary session of the court at The Hague, which was called in January to consider a ocontroversy between Great Britain and France and a case brought against Germany for having refused passage through the Kiel canal to a British ship. The last named case is the first instance in history in which a Sovereign state has been so arraigned before an in- ternational tribunal. Both Cases Important. It is plain from the gravity of both the British-French case and the pro- ceedings agalnst Germany that each action concerns the sort of dispute to war about. The British and French are at loggerheads over nationality decrees in Tunis and Morocco. Thelr respective contentions were urged with the greatest tenacity. The ques- tion mainly at issue is whether or not the nationality decrees of the French government, the Bey of Tunis and the Sultun of Rabut and their application to British subjeéts are matters of purely French domestic policy. | Both litigants presented their cases to the court in public sessions, and a decision s expected momentarily. Great Britain was represented by Sir Douglas Hogg. attorney general; Sir Ernest Polloc! formerly attorney general, and a law officer of the for- elgn office. France wis represented by M. Merillon, procurator general at the cour de cassation. and M. de Lapradelle, professor of international law at the University of France. By common consent between representa- tives of the two governments, the British point of view was stated first to the court. Then there v a reply on behalf of France, followed by an- other statement by a representative of each party, France having the last word. There were four separate hearings. At the termination of the last one the representatives of both powers filed their final conclusions in writing. Kiel Canal Case. The case against Germany country’'s refusal mit the British steamship Wimbledon to go through the Kiel canal. Ger-{ many is arraigned by the four called “principal aliled powers' Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan. These states claim that German's refusal was contrary to the provistons of the treaty of Versallles affecting the Kiel canal. Under authority given in the treaty, they have brought proceedings before the with that to per- Permanent Court of International || Justice.
