PAY RAE ASKED Having been advised by the budget bureau that increased salaries for policemen and firemen cannot be con- #ldered in connection with next year's estimates, Commissioner Oyster to- day set the machinery of the District government in motion to draft a sep- arate salary bill for the unlformed forces. The Commissioner this morning recommended that a committee be appointed to prepare such a bill and send it to Congress In December. The committee will be composed of Maj. Daniel J. Donavan, auditor;. Maj. Danfel Sullivan, superintendent of police, and Fire Chief George S. Wat- son. Tt is understood the budget officials did not oppose the higher pay. but merely tool the position that salary increases, other than those provided for by the reclassification, could not be asked In the estimates. WIIL Lose $240 Bounus. Policemen and firemen were not included in the benefits of reclassi- fication, and, since the bonus is to be abolished when reclassification salaries are . appropriated, . these men will suffer a ‘reduction in-pay of $240 a year next -July unless -their basic compensatiop js increased. At present privates in both depart- ments recéive basic salaries of $1.460. $1,560 and $1,660, there being three classes Of privates. Adding the bonus, the énvelope pay of these men Is $1,700, $1.500 and $1,900. In submitting their estimates to the budget bureau . the Commissioners recommemied $1,800, $1,900 and $2.000 for the privates of both the police and fire forces. It was learned today, however, that in drafting the separate salary bill the committee will consider asking for $1,900, $2,000 and $2,100. The police department is not able to keep all itions filled, even with present salaries and the bonus, and the heads of that department are confident there would be many more vacancieb if the bonus, amounting to $20 a month, Is taken away without increase in basic pa: O’NEILL DRAMAS WIN BERLIN, October 15.— Eugene O'Nelll's plays are epidemic in Berlin these days and threaten to rival those of George Bernard Shaw and Oscar ‘Wilde in the favor of Germans, who yearn for modern plays. “Anna Christie” has opened with success at the Deutsches Theater, and companies are rehearsing “Emperor Jones,” “The Hairy Ape” and plays of the sea., which are intended for early production. Jackie Coogan has won great favor among the Berlin movie fans. “My Boy"” is the only film of the American child actor which has been here, but the press is highly enthu- siastic over it, and the film promises to run all winter in Berlin.

Washington has set the bad example, and it {s for Washington to repair the damage.” Gov. Pinchot declared that the President should take personal charge of suppressing the “whisky rebellion” as George Washington did In his day. He said that in his judgment two steps should be taken to bring about enforcement of the prohibition law. ‘Would Eliminate Polit'cs. First, he sald, the federal enforce- ment service should be taken wholly out of politics.

The night session will be devoted largely to business, and the allocation of responsibility for every recommendation approved by the conference. Dr. Zahnisher, in his speech, pro- posed that a fact-finding committee be appointed in Washington to keep the churches informed of the situa- tion. He said: Persistent publicity at the hands of consclentious Christian leadership is one thing the enemies of public welfare can never stand. They love he darkness rather than the light, just because their deeds are what | they are. “One thing we need now in the matter of prohibition is some kind of machinery and program that will do for us in a national way what the churches have learned to do together in these communities. From every side there comes the complaint that success in local efforts is blocked at ‘Washington, Declares Efforts Blocked. “Just when a local enforcement squad becomes effective somebody at Washington decides there is need of a_change in personnel ‘for the good of the service. Just when a strong case has been worked up against powerful offenders, mysterious influ- ences begin to work from Washing- ton and the case withers away. Just when some official is shown up in our local communities as inexcusably fail- ing to get results,’the case goes to Washington and i conveniently lost in endless red tape. “We get all sorts of explanations, assurances, cross references and alibis ad nauseam, but we don't get results! And we don't know for certain what are the facts. We are weary of camouflage and smoke screen and alibi. “We want somebody on whom the churches can rely to start the busi- ness_of glving us the facte from Washington. We don’t want it from any administration trylng to defend itself, nor from its enemizs trying to destroy it.

Allen added that while he had the highest regard for the Pennsyl- vania governor, he thought it Il ad- vised for him fo cast reflection upon the President in the matter of pro- hibition enforcement.

A program for a nation-wide educa- tional program to aid in bringing about temperance and law enforce- ment was submitted to the citizenship conference at the Ralelgh Hotel today by the committee on educational; ‘policy. The committee submitted the fol- lowing suggestions for an educational campalgn: “In every state and in every com- munity citizens should know how far scientific temperance instruction is; being given in the public schools. Churches and Sunday schools | should increase and renew effort in| pledge signing and especially in care- ful instruction in the evils of alcoholic drink. “The international Sunday school lesson committee, church temperance {agencies and 'publication boards should be urged to make adequate | iprovision for a ten-year program of itraining in habits of sobrlety ana {clean living.

Civil statutes may provide for this training in the pubiic schools and churches and Sunday schools, and other educational agencies should supplement this where necessary.

SOVIET HOSTS DRIVEN INTO FLAMES OF QUAKE TO END JAPAN REVOLT (Continued from First Page.) Hoit, Cora Frances result that thousands at the farther end of the procession were forced into the flames and perished. The panic- stricken crowds finally turned upon the police and severe fighting fol- {Towed, which resulted in the deaths {of hundreds of police and civilians. That the radicals were desperate and had determined to accomplish {iheir aims, despite the cost, is indi- cated by another manifesto, which ireads: = “Japanese, remember your {Russian comrades. Keep your weap- {ons in your hands, for when you lose them you lose your power.” Koreans Planned Uprising. The correspondent also is informed ithat the Koreans were prepared to stage an uprising throughout Japan on September 3, following the disas-{ |ter, and that the plot served to pre- cipitate the action of the radicals. |Japanese radicals, however, took con- trol of the Korean situation agd that agitation proved to be a minor. inci- dent. the serlousness of Which has been greatly exaggerated. For several days following the proclamation of a soviet republic in Tokio radical leaders continued their activities and a red regime really existed among a large group of la- borers during the period of confusion which existed before army and gov- ernment authorities became active. First information concerning de- velopments in the anarchist 'soviet | plot became known on September 16, when it was announced that Gen. Fukuda removed Lieut. Amakasu and ordered him court-martialed for caus- ing the death of Osugi and two other anarchist leaders, believed to have been specially dangerous to the gov- ernment during the great calamity. The method, time and place of the killings are unmentioned in the offi- clal announcements. The correspon: ent has been told, however, that Lieut. Amakasu, after a long search, located the home of Osugl and, enter- ing it at night, shot both Osugl and his wife down in cold blood. Discov- ering Osugl’s nephew in an adjoining room, he is said to have strangled him with his hands. Facts Leaked Out. The affair doubtless would have ended there if the facts had not leak- ed out in gome manuer, forcing the government to take action. It is im- possible to belleve that Lieut. Ama- kasu acted without instructions from martial-law headquarters. It is sig- nificant, however, that the death of Osugi fired the red regime. The young gendarmerie officer apparently struck in_the right place. The preliminary hearing in the court- martial was finished and the official accusation against Lieut. Amakasu filed on September 24, His forma trial opened late last week. It is safe to predict that the facts in the case will not be disclosed, and that while minor officials will be forced to pay a penalty, those higher up, who are really responsible, will not go en- tirely unpunished. -JAPAN VOLCANO ACTIVE.

Delegates from the mighty corn state to the 1924 democratic natfonal convention will be instructed to vote for Wiillam Gibbs McAdoo as party leader until the conclave adjourns and the janitor gets busy. This unqualified statement was ob- tained from Edwin C. Meredith of Des Moines, former Secretary of Agri- culture under the Wilson adminlstra- tion, who Is stopping at the New Willard Hotel, while attending a con- ference of thirty-third degres Scot- tish Rite Masons. Mr. McAdoo is very strong with Iowa democrats,” said the dark-eyed ‘Wwesterner who made so many close friendship during his official stay in Washington. California will favor her adopted son for first place on the ticket, and as Nebraska has quite a liking for the son-in-law of our former President the expatriated easterner will go into the convention with a most substantial backing.’ Mr. Meredith sald he knew little of Henry Ford's program. and seemed to be somewhat doubtful whether the Michigan manufacturer was serlously considering the nomination. “I am not in a position to express an opinion on Mr. Ford's candidacy,” added the Des Moines man. “All I know is that our people are as one regarding the capabilities of the former Secretary of"the ' Treasury—he looks mighty good to us.’” - Replying to a question as to general agricultural conditions, Mr. Meredith $1,200,000,000 more than those raised in'1922, and as last year's crops had amounted to $2,000,000,000 more than the 1921 output it would not need much figuring to show that prosperity was the rule throughout the country. “And I might add,” continued the former Secretary, “that the impetus glven business in all lines is due primarily to the purchasing activity of the farmer and the redistribution of his money among all branches of industry.” Referring to the wheat situation, | Mr. Meredith said that while wheat had caused losses in some sections, these losses were much more than offset by returns received from other products. Take Minnesota, for instance, Wheat amounts to only 6 per cent of the state’s total resources from farm products, and a decline of 10 per cent means but six-tenths of 1 per cent in loss as felt by the community as a whole. Milk amounts three times as much as wheat, while there are three bushels of corn raised to each bushel of wheat, with corn as high as wheat is_low. However, the low price of wheat does affect the farmer seri- ously, and I am in favor of steps be- ing taken to protect him in this re- gard. ‘With things looking brighter for tillers of the soll, it is absolutely in order to flash a word of encourage- ment to the vast army of inventors i | {seemed to me that - Wald that the 1923 crops had totaled | fyeiied 10 me that who too often are repald for their| vears of study and work by watching the crafty enjoy the fruits of their labor.
