He is seriously considering legislation along this line. Text of Letter. The text of the Commissioners’ let- tet to Gov. Ritchle, signed by Com- missioner Rudolph, follows: “As you are no doubt aware, there was _introduced In the last Congress of the United States a bill providing for a gasoline tax for the District of Columbia, which contained a pro- vision authorizing reciprocity with the state of Maryland, so that regls- tration tags for motor vehicles is- sued in the District of Columbia would be honored in the state of Maryland and vice versa. This bill provided that it should become effective January 1, 1924, on which date similar legislation adopted in_your state becomes effective. The bill in question failed of passage. “The Commissioners have reason to believe that efforts will be made by interested members of Congress to enact legislation similar to that which failed in the last Congress, and that this matter will be accomplished in the early part of the calendar year 1924. 1t has accurred to them that it would be a matter of courtesy both to the motorists of Maryland and of the Dis- trict of Columbia, if, in view of the pending change in legislation, that re- ciprocal arrangements be entered into between Maryland and the District of Columbia_whereby during the months of January and February, 1924, Mary- land_will honor 1924 registration tags of the District of Columbia and the District of Columbia will honor 1924 tags of Maryland. 3¢ the legislation, which will be in- troduced in Congress which meets December 3, fails of passage before March 1, this temporary reciprocal arrangement could be extended by mutual agreement. “The Comhmllllontrl‘ d;’o;llfl be fessed to have you indicate your &nvp-d- to whether this arrangement can be consummated.” The bus lines lhould’ (-ORDINATE WORK OF CHILD WELFARE Women’s Clubs Form Joint Committee to Corre- late Activities. ¢ | | i | | First steps toward forming a joint 'committee on child welfare work from the women's clubs of Washing- ton to co-ordinate the work of the various clubs and to facilitate a united front before Congress on child welfare legislation were taken !at' a meeting of representatives of the clubs at the Women's City Club today. - Mrs. Gllbert Grosvenor, represent- ing the Twentieth Century Club, who called the meeting, was elected tem- orary chalrman and later perma- nent head of the body. In outlining he purposes of the proposed organi- zation, Mrs. Grosvenor pointed out that many of the Washington wom- ‘n's clubs are working on child wel ire work, some with the same pro. cts in view and others with som what ~divergent projects, but all closely correlated. “Much of the work done by the different clubs,” she d, overlapping There svernl different bills introduced ong s last session for Mothers' Compensation and much better co-operation could be gained if the best of these bills could be put forward at the next session, and all the clubs stand united hehind it instead of each club backing its own pet bill Senator Capper. of Kansas, had promised to stand sponsor for such a bill, she sald, Mothers' Compensa- tion, Compulsory — Education, and Child Labor, are all correlated’ que tions in which the clubs are inter- tested, Mrs, Grosvenor continued, and if all work together towards the same ends, and co-ordinate through this joint committee, much greater | action can be wained by the united | front. This plan was heartily proved by the meeting and the fo mation of a somewhat permanent or- | ganization put into effect. The clubs invited to attend today'’ meeting included : The College Women Club, League of Woman Voters, Federa- | tion of Women's Clubs, Penwomen's | League, Women's City Club, Monday Evening Club and the Twentieth Ce tury Club. It was voted that the An- thony Leagu Mothers' Congre: Parent-Te: Association, the C. T. U. aud any other clubs Inter ested fn child welfare work should & asked to join the committee, but that the committee should have no affiliation with_the soclal agencies. It was de- cided that the president of each club. | together with two other members, should § be representatives on the jont commit- | tee. The consensus of the meeting was [ that the measure most important at | the present time and in which the| greatest number of clubs are inter- | sted is the mothers’ compensation | legislation, and that concentrated ef-{ forts should be put forward on that | particularly for the coming winter's work, and that as s s definite | plans are formulated ly form- | nt committee will meet again | to plan a combined campaign of the | clubs.

The decision was reached in execu- tive session after the commission had listened to extensive arguments both for and against the change. | Representatives of citizens' associa- tions opposed making the tract in- | dustrial, claiming it would render impossible the establishment of a park there in accordance with the McMillan plan. Spokesmen for the owners con- tended that Congress has failed on numerous occasions to approve the | purchase of the land for a park; that | they are paying regularly large sums | in taxes and that they are entitled to make the best possible use of their property. The commission adopted the new regulation raising to sixty feet the height limit on_all property now zoned fifty-five feet, and to ninety feet all property now restricted to eighty-five feet. The 55-foot limit called for a five story building and the 85-foot limit, an elght-story structure. The num-. ber of stories still will be restricted to five and eight, but, as architects pointed out at the hearing, it will now be possible to leave a greater air space between the top floor and the roof and will also make the roofs more ornamental. While this question was under dis- cussion yesterday afternoon, Waddy B. Waod, prominent Washington ar- chitect, told the commission that the idea of zoning cities is as old as ancient Rome. The Romans, he sald, had zoning laws to restrict the height of build- ings in order to protect the appear- ance of their castles and temples, Petition Granted. ‘The petition to change the area bounded by Utah avenue. Rittenhouse street and Rock Creek Ford road from first commercial to residential was granted. The commission also placed this property in “A restricted” zone, which ~prohibits apartment houses. The commission rejected the poti- tion of Benjamin Udoff to change the rear forty feet of 4100 Illinois avenuc from residential to first commercial, Testimony showed that Mr Udoft operates & store which was in ex- istence before the street was zoned residential. He could not rebuild or remodel, however, unless the desig- nation was changed to commercial. Request to change N street between 19th street and Connecticut avenue from commercial back to residential was denied. AUTO CRASH FATAL. "HARLOTTE, N.

Mathews, alias Ford, col- ored, twenty-one years old, 1127 Sth street northwest, employed as orderly Hospital the past two months, today is an occupant of a police cell, having been arrested by Detectives Mullen and Murphy on charges of stealing. It is alleged he stole towels and other hospital equipment belonging to the in- stitution and articles of jewelry, cash and an umbrella from physicians and patients. The prisoner {8 said to have admitted his gullt and also to have said he was arrested for similar offenses while employed at Garfleld Hospital two years ago. He was employed at Garfleld Hospl- tal under the name of Matthews and at Emergency Hospital under the name of Ford. When arrested he de- nied the charge, saying he had pur- chased at a Pennsylvania avenue store towels bearing the hospital stamp. _ Later, however, he Is said to have changed his denial into aa ad- misslon. One charge involves the theft of a wrist watch and gold pencll from Dr. John DeMayo. Other charges in- volve the theft of an expensive silk umbrella belonging to Miss Margaret I Smith, 1319 Spring road, and a purse containing_a small sum of money from R.

GOVERNMENT FORM APPROVED BY SHERRILL Public Buildings Superintendent “Would Give Congress More Power to Manage City. The commission form of govern- ment of the District was lauded by Col. C. O. Sherrill, superintendent of public bulldings and grounds, in an address yesterday before the Wash- ington Study at the Federation of Women's Club headquarters, 1734 N street northwest. Col. Sherrill sald the city manager system s In many respects closely analogous to the city administration here, the principal differences being that the powers of the board of Com- missioners are ibuted equally among, three Cammissloners appoint- ed by the President. Col. Sherrill sald it appeared to him that the trend here should be in the direction of placing more and more responsibility for direction and de velopment of Washington in _th hands of the national government. This_would by no means decrease the influence of the citizens of Wash- ington in the government of the Dis- trict, the speaker declared, but would at all times give an adequate and proper influence for all of the asso- clations which have for their object the development and beautification of the National Capital.

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, Va., No- vember 23.—Arthur L. Reynolds, man- ager of the Washington-Virginia Rallway Company, was appointed re- celver for the company today by Judge Samuel G. Brent in'the circuit | court of Fairfax county. Bond was | fixed at $50,000 and will be furnished | today. A recelver was appointed at the pe- tition of five trust companies of Phil- adelphia in the interest of the bond- holders of the company. Insolvency, charged In the petition, was admitted in the answers filed. Mr. Reynolds was appointed in view of his expert knowledge of Interurban rallroad management. He was, be- fore taking the general managership of the Washington-Virginia, employed for a number of years by the street rallway company of Youngstown, Ohfo. "Previously he had been em- ployed for more than ten vears with e Twin City Rapid Transit Compan of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Lo Protest Set Aside. When the court was convened at 10 o'clock, Charles H. Merillat, at- torney for Mattle M. Newcomer, at- tempted to argue new allegations of his client before Judge Brent. This intervening petition which protested the naming of any one as recelver who had been connected In any way with the management of the com- pany’s affairs was set aside by the court. Mr. Reynolds was named at the be- hest of the consolidated petitioner, The request was made on the court by Gardner L. Boothe, counsel for the railway company. Charges of railroading the case were made by Mr. Merillat, who in- dicated that he would force the issue and flle several suits. He declared the court was not within its rights when it named a receiver without hearing new allegations. Charge $100,000 Mixsing. Among others the petition alleges that $100,000 disappeared from the company’s treasury almost overnight in 1919. It is further charged that no attempt had been made to recover this money. While the allegation, } Mr. Merillat said, had no bearing on Mr. Reynolds” appointment, he be- lieved it was sufficient, at least, to bear a hearing. Judge Brent, In answer to Mr. Merillat, declared that the receiver would act under the direction of the court, that there would be no irregu- | laritles. A yearly salary of $5,000 was al- lowed the receiver. BUSSES GO TO MEMORIAL. Two Lines to Operate Service to Lincoln Shrine.

RUHR STATE DEVELOPING. sl tl BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL. By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1923. BERLIN, November .23.—Tho new Rhine Ruhr state is gradually coming | into being. 2Discussions which have been Eoing on this week between Chancellor Stresemann and the Rhine- ish committee of fifteen are an impor- tant step in the process, But the whole process has a mys- terious ~appearance, first, because political considerations forbia too abrupt un announcement of the facts and, second, because a half dozen special interests are Intriguing for a favored position in the new state. | Hence, official announcements are | likely to be misleading. ! No Authority In Ruhr, i However, the broad facts are these: | The Rhineland and the Ruhr already | virtually are detached from the reich, with the French and Belgians | exercising all important functions of soverelgnty—pass control, police power, customs collections, taxation, administration, justice, control of ! communications and of the currency— | to any degree suiting thelr conven- lence. The reich retains only the doubtful privilege of sending in an enormous unemployment subsidy, thus ruining its own budget and endanger- ing the new currency. It is obvious that the Rhineland must adjust itself politically in ac- cordance with these new conditions. Two separatist movements, there- fore, have been at work, which must be sharply _distinguished between. The Dorten-Matthes forces, as events have proved, were only gangs of hired thugs, armed with French per- mission and permitted by the French to range through the peaceful Rhine- land piundering and murdering (al- though the Paris politicians assert “neutrality,” there is absolutely no disagreement concerning the active aid given the Matthes gangs by the local French commanders). It is as- sumed here that the French are too shrewd politicians to _take these gangs and their leaders seriously, either as representatives of the Rhenish people or as material for a new government. The German theory is that they were only used by the French to create such chaos that the| Rhenish people would be obliged to form an independent government.

CONDUIT| Large Quantity of Loose Earth Tumbles Into Excavation Near Cabin John. | A heavy slide of loose earth oc- curred alongside the Conduit road, a short distance east of Cabin John bridge, this morning. It resulted from the loosening of earth by the recent rains and the operations of the big steam shovel excavating for the new conduit, but did not affect the old conduit through which the water supply of the District is con- ducted. Mr. Hardy of the United States englineer office, who has direct super- | vision over the new construction as| the representative of Maj. O'Connor, sald that the slide will require some extra work on the part of the con- | tractor who is constructing the new | conduit, but will not affect the opera- | tlon of the existing water supply | system. Slides are usual in such | large excavation operations, Mr. Hardy said, and there have already | been several, but none of them caused | any great amount of damage. He said he would make an inspection | the day. = Sl | In the si CHARGE INJUSTICE - IN CLASSIFICATION Auditing Clerks Say Board Has Disregarded Prin- ciples of Law.

It s protest i support to the cont by the Federation ployes, The statement went on to cite the law to show that it is not being properly followed by the classificatior Loard, and that “gross injustice on the ratings and allocations exist and the influence of the personnel and classification board and those respon- sible for the allocations is plainly felt, as their action in many cases whén making allocations has been dictatorially arbitrary, perfectly ig- noring the kind of work entailed, but rather considering clerks on some preconceived basis.
