3 L d CITIZENSHP A OF ALIEN STUDENTS Supt. Ballou Reports 800 Un- der Instruction in Local - Schools. Nearly 800 foreign-born students, representing thirty-five djfferent countries, are working with the com- mon purpose of galning one language and knowledge of citizenship in their adopted country, according te an Education week statement issued to- day by Supt. Frank W. Ballouw. The statement was prepared jointly by Walter B. Patterson, director of spe- cfal schools; Miss Maud E principa]l of the Amerjcanization schools, and Dr. W, S. Montgomery, supervising principal of the twelfth division, as a means of showing what the public schools are doing toward better citizenship. 30,000 Aliens in District. “There are in Washington about 80.000 foreign born men and women." said the statement. of these have been naturalized. About 15,000 are not naturalized. What &re the needs of this group? “The first need of the adult who is & stranger in a land is a knowledge of the language of that land: hence, hundreds of our students come to us to learn the English nguage. The basis of the grading of the classe: made on the knowledge of English. Beginner's, intermediate and advanced classes are organized. The aim of the beginner's class is to teach language that will enable the stranger to live safely within the community. He must be able to ask questions so that he can obtain the necessities of life and he must know the city regula- tions 8o that he may not endanger himself or others. As the language is taught, information of this type is given, “In the intermediate group the knowledge of community civies #ained while studying the language continues, but is broadened in fits scope, and shows the community in relation to the nation. Industrial geography &lds the newcomer in knowing the United States from other angles than that which he usually gets, which is the “great city of the eas’ United tates history and weography are closely correlated, and the students learn of the great move- ments of our national life which have made the north, south, eAst and west what they are.

What is neede j4 to speed up trafic and thereby in- crease the capacity of the various traffio lanes, just as the capacity of @ railroad is increased by speeding up_terminal operations, he sald. Any poliey of slowing down traffic was declared fundamentally wrong. Heo emphasized the successful ex- periment in manless traffic control at 16th and U streets and the fact that the middle curb at Scott Circle lias apparently been 8o effective that ar_only one minor aceldent arred there. The one-way street tem l8 merely a mak ift, not a re. he contends, and must be ap- plied with caution or the congestion secks to avoid will simply be transferred to other points The problem of curb parking in all cities was asserted to be littie under- stoad. Observation in other citles is said to indicate that the short-time parker is not the real offender. Rather, long-time parking or day storage, he stated, is the real heart of the problem. Not only are more downtown garages needed, but devel- opment of large open or idle spaces, surface or underground, close to the business district where property val- ues are low, was recommended. Safety Council Praised. The work of the Washington Safety Council was praised. Definite recom- mendations were presented to the committee by Mr. Bibbins, largely with reference to the scope and form of & thorough engineering survey of traffic and transportation here, “Washington should not follow. but should take the lead,” he said “While it has been looked upon as the model city of America, It Is fast slipping into that undesirabie state called unpre- paredness. 1 desire to relterate that in my jjudgment the District commit- 1ee could make no more valuable con- tribution to the problem with which ‘Washington, in common with. ali ather large clties, is faced that to make possible development of such definite traffic and transportation vlans as will vision, in proper per- spective, the present and future needs of a large and growing cley.” Mr. Beck sald he believed that ‘Washington could solve its own traf- fie_problem without calling in outside wid. Traffic solution, he said, will liaye to be considered on the basis of Vi {ume of traffic and roadbed avail- able. Mr. Beck sald that his association had made a study of local conditions and presented to the committee a comprehensive traffic count on all busy streets of Washington. Assert- ing that the roadbed in Washington was sufficlent to take care of the volume of traffic, Mr. Beck urged the immediate establishment of arterial highways, radiating from the con: ted section of the city. He pointed ~hat on streets of thix descrip- uon there were few fatalities. In respect to one-way streets, he id that the association had taken no Jefinite stand, but that it be- lieved that this type of highway ‘was doing little good. He advocated a model headlight law for the Dis- trict, systematic brake _inspection, truck legislation to prohibit these vehiolea trom using the middle. af the street when space near flpvfl& wags available, and sulés for pede trian Alton, | “More than haif | tependent of her | WAN GRANTED NEW STAY OF EXECUTION Young Chinese Student’s Hanging Postponed From Friday Until March 28, 1924. Justice Balley of the District Su- preme Court today postponed the exe- cution of Zlang Sung Wan, the young Chinese student who was convicted in 1920 of killing Ben Sen Wu, an Undersecretary of the Chinese edu- catlonal mission. The Chinaman was to have been cxecuted next Friday, but a post- ! ponement was made necessary to |await the action of the United States Supreme Court which has granted !his counsel, James A. O'Shea, a re- view of the action of the District jCourt of Appeals which had con- {firmed the conviction and sentence. The new date for the hanging is March 28, 1924, The_Supreme Court today get Jan- sary 7 for hearing in the case. Th question involved is whether revers- {ble error was committed by the trial court in admitting to evidence cer- tain confessions by the petitioner oyer the petitioner's objection, and that under the doctrine lanid down by the Supreme Court such confessions were involuntary under the circum- stances appearing in the case. The same question now is before the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia in the case of Kdgar Perrygo, also sentenced to be hanged for murd in the first degree, the same question frequently being pre- sented in the trial of criminal case in the District of Columbia and other federal court: WOMEN PLEDGE AID INHARDING TRIBUTE Organizations Throughout Country Plan to Co-Oper- ate for Memorial.

NEW YORK, November 19.—Ninety five per cent of college professors have “third-rate minds; their day in the classroom and that ends them,” Dr. Alexander Meikle. john, who was outed from the presl dency of Amherst College, told an audience at the new school for social research. Dr. Melklejohn berated the methods of modern colleges, the teachers and the college spirit and sald the intel- Jectuals of the halls of learning were Inot performing their duty of “deter- Imlning" leaders for the people. I Proposals by the coast guard to increase the armed motor boat patrol on the great lakes and St Law- rence river to prevent smuggling are understood in no wise to run coun- ter to the long-standing policy of | the Canadlan and American govern- ments, which has maintained border peace for more than a century with sharply restricted armaments, Already the coast guard Is oper- ating a number of armed boats in the great lakes for the prevention of smuggling, and Canada herself is understood to be putting forth like efforts to prevent all smuggling from this country into her own territory. Terms of Agreement. The Rush-Bagot agreement, which sets forth limitations necessary on any armed ship operated in border | waters, was interpreted today as not likely to prevent the proposed two- fold increase of the coast guard should the program just approved by President Coolidge be enacted by Congross.

The Supreme Court announced to- day that it would not grant appeals in cases involving these questions: The validity of the indictment of | Theodore De Witt on the charge of having conspired in 1921 to bring as- sorted wines and liquor into Cleve- land from Canada on the steam yacht Whether employes on the St. Louls | and San Francisco railway, charged with having violated an injunction by the federal district court for west- ern Missouri restraining them during the strike of 1922 from unlawfully in- terfering with the property of tnat [raiiroad, must be tried in the south- ern division of that district, where they reside. These points were raised in a case brought by Barney Mc- Courtney, Fred Burch and A. W. Pease, who insisted that their trial and con- viction at Kansas City, In the western division of the district, was illegal. Paper Case Appeal Denled. Whether a contract for news print paper is enforceable when not veri- fied in writing, as raised in a e brought by tie Dennison-Pratt Paper Company of Massuchuseits against the News Publishing Company of W heeling, W. Va. Whether in & debarment proceed- ing, when the law confers jurisdic- tion upon a court, it is necessary for the full bench to act. The question was raised in a case brought by George S. Hawke, who was debarred from practicing s an attorney in & proceeding in the court of common pieas of Hamilton county, Ohio. This case had also been brought before the Supreme Court on a writ of error, which the court today an- nounced It would dismiss on its own motion.

The great lakes and St. Lawrence river have been admitted by ,prohibi- tion and oustoms officials for some time to be a source of much difficulty in the matter of enforcing smug- gling and prohibition laws. It has| been admitted by those in close touch with the problem that smuggling has by no means been adequately pre- vented by the small force of customs and coast guard available. Results of Survey. It is belleved by officials who have carefully surveyed the smuggling problem that the only way to stop it would be to increase the coast #uard so effectually as to strengthen all parts of the coast Hne. To strengthen parts of It and leave others unprotected wouid only tend to drive bootleggers and smugglers to the unprotected quarters, it ia believed. Should the entire program as out- lined by the Treasury be adopted by Congress .and funds totaling .§28,000 000 be appropriated, it is the promise pf those who are 'in & position to now that the importation of intoxi- cating liquors into the United States by water can be stopped “almost en- tirely." Speoradic smuggling might slip through, but such cases would be only exceptional, it is thoufln. and the quantities involved trivial.

Craig contended that Judge Mayer was without jurisdiction. The decision today held that Judge Manton. although sitting in a district court, had no authority to grant a writ ‘of habeas corpus.

Justice Holmes, in a dissension opinion, took the position that Craig | tation of the films had ended when had taken proper action in applying | they were delivered to branch houses for a writ of habeas eorpus instead of appealing to the Circuit Court of Ap- peals.
