ANACOSTIA PEOPLE FAVOR BOND ISSUE! Association Upholds Provi- sion for District if Citizens | Have Voice. Approval of a hond issue for the District of Columbia, provided the citizens are given a voice in the ex- penditure of the funds, was voted by the Anacostia Citizens’ Association at a meeting in the Masonic Hall, Ana- costia, last night. Dr. George C. Havenner, president of the association, in upholding the} proposed bond issue, presented figures to show that “only an average of $1,600 per year had been spent by the district for street repairs in Anacostia from the year 1910 up to the present time.” An issuance of a bond, he pointed out, was the only way in which to obtain needed improvements in_the District Mrs. Carrie G the school committe before the association the alleged unsatisfactory existing at the Ketcham, and the Van Buren Anne hools. George Williams, chairman of the committee on Jawrs, reported 'that there had been u greater improve- ment in th¢ conditions of -the wards Anacostia ‘within the last year there -had been in any other in_ the past Melvin Sharpe, executive tary to the president of the ington Railway and El pany, reported that the compan: 000 for improvements to the ¢ In’ Anacostia in the lust twelve years.” He also told of many of the problems confronting the company and expressed 4 desire, on the part of the company, to co-operate with the cit- izens of Anacostia “Paul E.

President Torriente expressed con- fidence that the day would come when all the nations of the world would join the league. He hoped that Ecu- ador, which signed, but did not ratify the ‘treaty of Versailles, would be- come a member, and that Mexico and Santo Doralngo would also adhere to the world body, and he urged that the members which this year ab- stained from participating — Argen- tina, Peru, Bolivia, Guatemala and Nicaragua—would take part in fu- ture assemblie Reviewing the work of this vear's meeting, the president praised the wisdom and skill displayed by the council in the Greco-Itallan dispute. Everyhody, he said, was anxious and uneasy, fearing a widespread war, and when the difficulty was settled, with the close collaboration of the council of the league, the whole world experienced a sensation of relief and satisfaction, “The test to which it was sub- Jected gave an opportunity for all to realize,” he said, “how great impor- tance for humanity the league of na- tions—an _ organization which _is Erowing more and more respected— had acquired.” Emphasizing the friendly _spirit which had dominated all the delibera- tions, Dr. Torriente declared there could be no more aamirable spectacle than the statesmen of S0 many na- tions working together in perfect amity and sympathy, whatever thefr differences. He particularly men- tioned the loyal and effective co- operation of the representatives of France and Great Britain. Counell Virtually Same. The council of the league for the ensuing year will be composed of the. same countries as for the current period except that Czechoslovakia was elected to take the place of China. Thus the little entente achieved its ambition and has been given a* voice in the effective body of the league, which henceforth will comprise rep- resentatives of Great Britain, France, Ttaly and Japan, as the permanent members, not subject to election, and the following non-permanent mem- bers chosen today: Uruguay, Brazil, Belgium, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Spain. The campaign sail to be intended against former Premler Branting of Sweden, because of his activities in the Greco-Italian affair, falled to materialize, much to the satisfaction of all the Scandinavian leaders. The draft of the proposed pact of mutual assistance among the nations, Wwhich provides for military aid when a eignatory state is the subject of aggression and which aims to bring about an eventual reduction in arma- ment in proportion to the security “which the various countries may feel the pact affords, was discussed at length today. In the bellef that it embodied too vast and {important & project to be hastily decided, the mssembly voted to send the text to all the governments, including the United States, for study. Article XVIII of the draft provides that the (reaty shall come into force. in North America when ratified by the United States, and thesdocument stipulates that states not members of /the league may adhere to the pact with the consent of two-thirds of the high contracting parties; also that a country may, with the consent of the council, modify its conditional or partial adherence, provided it has reduced or is-prepared to reduce its armaments in conformity with the ons of the treaty. Benes of Czechoslov: loader who has become one’of ‘the influential figures of the league, made it clear to the delegates that an essential feature of the treaty was that when the powers have ap- proved a general plan of armament reduction drawn up by the league council it will be possible for the treaty to come into force. Step in Right Direction. He conceded that the task was a long and diffcult one, but he be- Jieved everybody was convinced that a step in the right direction had been taken. The past offered guarantees and securities, he said. - Just as the French revolution had proclaimed the Tights of man, 5o the league of na- tions had prociaimed the rlghts of all nations. No nation,” he added, ¥is entitled to take war into its own hands, and we must come to the point where ‘we respect international engagements as we respect engagements in domes. tic life.” The goal was not yet attained, he said, but he believed the league could help in its attainment. The truth was that the world could not at pres- ent achieve disarmamept because it was not yet sufficiently sure that the security of the respective nations would be regarded as inviolable. Alluding to the shadow caysed by Italy questioning the tefms of the covenant, Dr. Benes declared that the wisdom of tha council in this crisis had convinced everybody that it guldance could be relled upon This_expression from a representa- tive of one of the newer countries of Europe seemed to voice the views of the' delegates generally, who- leave Getieva with the expréssed conviction that vesterday's debate in, the “as- npb:fm -the .Jeague’s - competency entirely saved the day for the league and vendered certain its.future de- velopment. gkia, a Paderewski Gets Hands insured in Paris for $50,000 By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, September 20.—Pader- ewski, preparing to leave for America for a long concert tour, has had his hands insured for §50,000. He wears extremely thick white gloves to protect his fingers, even in fairly warm weather. The master has returned, heart and soul, to his original calling. When politics is mentioned he merely shrugs his shoulders and says he is unwilling to place him- self in a situation to receive & re- proach similar to that given him by former Premier Clemenceau during the Versallles peace con- ference. When the Tiger was informed that Paderewskl, then premier of Poland, was the former great musictan. he sald to Paderewski: “You've fallen from great helghts by entering politic: PRESIDENT MAY REVEAL SELF IN FIRST MESSAGE (Continued from Firsy Page.) country In his first message to Con- gress in December will carry its in- fluence over into these preferential elections. Mensage Means Muc! The silence which has preceded it will cause every word of the first message to (be dissected. It is safe to say that even two months before it is scheduled for delivery, few state papers ever have been awaited with more interest. Even during the ex- citing days of the war, when Wood- row Wilson would make his way to Capitol Hill with a special address finder his arm, there was general un- derstanding as to what he was about to say. Mr. Wilson was known as a man who thought much to himself, who confided in but few, and yet Washington has discovered in Presi- @erft Coolidge one who shares his views with even greater conservi tism than the war President. Mr. Coolidge, perhaps, is a better listener than Mr. Wilson was: he also will answer simple and direct questions quite precisely; but he will not vol- unteer his views nor be drawn into any sort of discussion. Dislike for Travel. Mr. Coolidge is endeavoring in as polite manner as possible to dis- courage all invitations to him to make addresses. He has no love of travel, and he believes, furthermore, that his duty is to remain in Wash- ington at this time, absorbing as much as he can of the perplexities of government, and considering the general policies of his administra- tion. President Coolidge continues to state that he will do his utmost to carry out the policies enunciated by President Harding. He feels he is but serving out Mr Harding's term, and yet he is also consclous of the fact that he. must stand before the judges by the manner of his own conduct in the White House. Therefore senators and representa- tives are expecting Mr. Coolidge in his message to give firm adherence to the Harding policies and at the same time announce some of his own. They will also watch with eagerness for any indication as to just how he pur- poses to proceed in carrying out the Harding policles. There is especial interest In the Coolldge attitude toward the world court. But at the same time, if Mr. Coolidge chooses not to press that issue too hard on the eve of a presi- dentlal campaign he can find plenty of Harding reasoning for a policy of non-coercion in dealing with the Sen- ate on the subject. Mr. Coolidge already has made it plain that he does not believe it is up to the President of the United States to do all of the thinking for Congress. If the farm bioc desires a special session of Congress, he has said, let the farm bloc present its program for his consideration. If this action by the new President is to be taken as an index he may throw all of the burden of initiating legislation_upon the Congress. He will tell Congress the state of the Union as he sees it, he will state the problem that confronts the govern- ment and the people, and then it will be up to Congress to formulate the necessary remedial measures. May Let Congress Alome. Hitherto Congress has claimed that its prerogatives have been trampled upon; that it has been coerced by Presidents and not given a fair chance. President Coolidge is likely to let the legislative branch of gov- ernment exercise its complete con- stitutional functions. That would seem to be the drift of the administration at this time, and yet the political leaders who speak frankly to the President tell him that the people of the country think of him as a man of action and are look- ing for real action .in his very first message to Congress. Mr. Coolidge ponders all the po- litical .and administrative advice that comes to him, but in the end he will chart his own course and depend upon s own navigation to ard - ture political fate. o TooTo e fu s S CAPITAL AVIATORS ON EDGE FOR RACES (Continued from First Page.) | | R % Bishop James Edward Freeman (center), with other high chureh dignitaries before the Church of ti RELIEF FUND HER NEARLY TRPLED District Has Contributed $128,675.70 to Aid Stricken People in Earthquake Zone.

Early emptying of his cash box saved Chin Sam, who conducts ‘oursel from ‘can’t see to can't see. That is what we call from sun up to sun down.

He admitted that he had given no notice of the intended change of course—no chance for other navi- tore to “cheok. up.” He failed to allow for a northerly current, failed to take sounding: failed to slow down in the fog. Yet each of the other officers has taken the stand to accept full re- sponsibility for his own actions. Each has praised the seamanship and pe: sonal courage of his immediate su- perior. Each has rendered a seaman’s tribute to the enlisted men who fought the pounding surf and the confusion and the darknes that night after the crash. Owing to the “follow-the-leader” policy in the formation which the U. 8. 8. Delphy headed. it appears that the most serious charges now rest against Lieut. Commander Don- ald T.

Dr. Freeman was personally attended by the Rev. Dr. Henry R. Freeman, his brother, and the Rev. Dr. Herbert Scott Smith, as_presbyters, The_litany was read by the Rt Rev. Philip Cook, Bishop of De ware, and the sermon was preache by the Rt. Rev. Willlam T. Manning. Bishop of New York. Bishop Man- ning touched mainly wpon the un- reasonable belief of some persons that the church and sclence are apart, whereas, he mssserted, sclence hus done much to prove the bodliness of Jesus. But he touched the heart of Washington even deeper when he turned to Dr. Freeman, motioned for him to rise, and said i “Here in the nation's capital you will have great opportunities. Use them for Jesus Christ, and in so do ing you will bring blessing to all. In the memory of your two faithful and saintly predecessors, Henry Yates !Satterlee and Alfred Harding, this di- locese has a blessed inheritance.

Immediately following the singing of “Gloria Patria,” Dr. Freeman w formally presented to Bishop Gailor, a8 presiding bishop, and remained standing while his testimonials were being read. Former Senator Blair Lee presented the certificate of elec- tion, Dr. A. R. Shands the canohical testimonial, the Rew. Dr. George F. Nelson the certificate of ordinations, the Rev. Dr. George F Dudley the consents of the standing committees and the Rt. Rev. William Cabell Brown, Bishop of Virginia, the con- sents of the bishops. Dr. Freeman thereupon, in fervent voice, recited the promise of conformity “to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Slowly Bishop Gailor read to Dr. Freeman the obligations he was about to agsume—faithfulness to the Holy Scriptures, to protect the church against erroneous doctrine, to deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts, to show himself gentle and merciful. After each paragraph Dr. Freeman, in a voice that was strong, despite the trace of emotion it dis- played, solemnly promised to carry out his obligations. Having thus satisfied the conse- crating bishops and the congregation alike that he was fitted to assume his robes, Dr. Freeman was led from the auditorium and returned vested, for the first time, in his full episcopal habit. Approaching the center of the chancel, Dr. Freeman knelt and was surrounded by the officiating bishops, while Bishop Gaflor chanted the Veni, Creator Spiritus,” which was written by St. Ambrose in 371 and has been used at consecration serv- ices since the tenth century. Each bishop, at the eml of the veni, Creator Spiritue, placed his hand upon the head of Dr. Freeman while Bishop Gailor pronounced the words that made him from that moment Bishop Freeman: “Receive the Holy Ghost_for the office and work of a bishop in the church of God. now committed unto thee by the imposi- tion of our hands; in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. And remember that thou stir up the grace of God, which is given thee by this imposi- tion of our hands; for God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and soberness. Bishop_ Gailor then extended to Bishop Freeman a handsome Bible. bound in purple, the color of his office, saying: “Glve heed unto read- ing, exhortation and doctrine. Think upon things contained in this book. Be diligent in them, that the increase coming thereby may be manifest unto all men; for by so doing thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. Be to the flock of Christ a shepherd, not a wolf; feed them. de- vour them not. Hold up the weak, heal the sick, bind up the broken, bring_again the outcasts, seek the lost. Be 8o merciful that you be not too remiss; so minister discipline that you forget not mercy; that when the Chief Shepherd shall appear you may receive the never-fading crown of glory, through Jesus Christ our ord. . Hold Communion Service. Immediately after vesting Bishop Freeman with his ring and golden cross, which he will wear suspended from his neck by _a gold chain, Bishop Gailor, Bishop Freeman, the visiting bishops, the clergy and those laymen who par- ticipated in the consecration procecded to the communion service. Earlier serv- ice had already been held for the mem- bers of the congregation who wished to communicate on the day of the con- secration. The offertory anthem was from Beethoven. Last night Bishop and Mrs. Freeman were tendered a reception in the Cor- coran Gallery of Art.

In the Teceiving line were Corcoran Thom, James Parmelee, vice president of the board of trustees of the Cor- coran Gallery of Art: Bishop and Mrs, Freeman, the Rev. Dr. George F. Dud- ley and Mrs. Dudley and Canon De Vries. The guests marched around the gallery in a line two abreast, but it required more than three hours crated bishop. Special police arrangements have been made for handling the huge crowd that is expected to attend the mass meeting at Mount St. this afternoon. Those in charge have requested persons arriving on street cars to enter and leave the Cathedrai grounds by St. Albans’ gate and St. Hilda's gate. Persons arriving in private conveyances will alight at St. Hilde's gate, at the corner of Woodley road and Wisconsin avenue, and their machines or carriages will be driven 200 feet north of St. Albans Church under police supervision. No conveyances will be allowed to re- main south of the church during the service. Ample room has been provided for the crowd that is expected and those in charge decla: every person would be assured a seat. . The eccle- siastical procession will start at the Peace Cross. It will be lead by the Cathedrel crucifer, followed by the boys of the vested cholrs and the Army band. Behind the band wil ma the men choristers, fol- lowed by the seminarians of the Vir- ginla_ Theological _Seminary. ~ The clergy, the Cathedral council, the Cathedral chapter and the bishops will follow in order. The members of Temple-Noyes Free and Accepted Masons, of which Bishop Freeman is the chaplain, have planned to attend in a body and it is expected that several other organi- zations will do likewise. Immediately after the consecration service yesterday, the wardens and vestry ot the Church of the Epiphany tendered a luncheon to Bishop Free- man, the visiting bishops, the clergy of this diocese and the delegates to the diocesan comvention at the City Club.

Dr. George F. elson of New York, Former Senator lair Lee of Marylan . §. J. Dimon, rector o Church here, and Gen. Lejeune. In a brief address of thanks, Bishop Freeman declared that he stood for no party and recognized no divisions. “It is the common love of Jesus that binds all men together in fellowship,” he sald. “I stand here as one who serves. ‘Greater is he who serveth than he that sitteth at his ease’” The applause that greeted the newly consecrated bishop lasted for sgyeral minutes, ghest circles and many | for them to pass ine newly conse- | Albans | USTSI0INDRVE B FOR HEBREN FUND Chairman Cafritz of $250,- 000 Campaign to Launch Work at Once.

CHANCELLOR FACES TEST. { By the Associated Press. BERLIN, September 28.—Par! mentary leaders believe that Chan- cellor Stresemann’s abllity to keep the coalition intact depends wholly the measure and promptness with which he succeed: in_getting |Germany’s_foreign affairs disentan- 1 gled, now that he has made an uncor ditional surrender of passive resist- ance. The attacks upon the present gov- ernment in natlonalist quarters pri- marily feed on charges that he has placed himself at the mercy of M. Poincare without having obtained even “points such informal concession as of honor.” Unless the chancellor s in a posi- {tion to appear before the reichstag next Tuesday with positive proof that an early resumption of the formal ne- | gotiations will be vouchsafed him and that the question of Germany's sov ereignty in the Ruhr will also receive speedy clarification, his position, in the opinion of some of the leaders, is likely to become one of awkward de- fense.
