Mr. Murtha proposes that they run for delegate to the national con- | vention. i i 1 letter of challenge, Mr. Mur- | tha says: “You are an advocate of | President Coolidge and you have said pproval. his means ' are | n:::)Irns( the bonus and for the World | Court. 1 am an advocate of Senator | | Hiram W, Johnson. 1 belleva that President Coolidge’'s message is a reactionary document. 1 am f?r lh: bonus and against the World Court.” | Scores Course in Committee. Mr. Murtha's letter makes some ! in the national committee, asserting i that it threatens the defeat and dis-| integration of the republican party, and goes on to Say: “You, more than any other, of the harm which resulted from the: steamroller tactics of 1912, for you were chairman of the national com- mittee, when all the eiectoral votes you got were thdse of Utah and Ver- mont, three from each state, six in 1l. Was there ever such a humiliat- ing spectacle for a great party? And/| at what a_cost to the nation—eight | years of Wilson!

Plans to make Washington a model clty in so far as raflroad grade cross- ings are concerned, by entirely elimi- nating them, at a cost of a bit more than half a million dollars, virtually have been completed at the District building.

One of these, at Lamond, D. C., where the Blair road crosses the nd O. tracks, took a toll of three lives early in October. The coroners jury, sit- ting at an inquest into the death of one of the victims, Herbert Steiner. rendered a verdict with recommenda- tions that the District Commissioners take steps to eliminate grade cross- STUDENT IS MISSING.
