Mr. Chater has traversed one of tho most fasclnating islands of tile world from the standpoint of & ry, history and people with his camera. He has recorded views of farmers eking out a living on lava-covered hillsides, of street cenes 2t quaint religious festi- vals, of pagan customs that still survive and of the Interesting sulphur and citrate of lime In- dustries. been reached at the conference to in- troduce bills simultaneously in both houses of Congress within a few days authérizing an appropriation of 3100, 000 to continue the project for im- provement of the Mall, which Mr. Moore declared could be undertaken with that amount. The .suggestion was made that bills be introduced to authorize purchase of land in- Mary- land to protect Rock Creek from fur- ther pollution and lessening of wa- ter flow. Deplores High Rents. Payment of high rental charges for | use of private buildings by the gov-| ernment was criticized by Repre-| | sentative Langley, chairman of the! "House committee on public buildings and grounds. Representative Lang- ley suggested Congress take up im- mediately the matter of extensfon of the government bullding program to eliminate need for rental of bulld- inge. The conference was purely infor- mal, according to Senator Pepper, and it was understood the conferges went into District matters with thfe utmost frankness. A survey of hospitals in Washington was posed and _the suggestion was made that the D trict committee supervise these in stitutions. Provision should be made to safeguard the health of govern- ment employes in Washington, Senu- tor Ball declared. MELLON STILL FIRM FOR RUM SHIP PLAN/ reau Coast Guard Needs Special- ! ly Built Vessels. Treasury officials still believe that effective enforcement of prohibition depends upon sufficient funds to guard the coast line agaiust smug- gling, and Secretary Mellon has so informed the budget bureau, which is considering a program for expending ,000,000 in cxpansion of the coast guard. Most of the liquor passing through bootleg channels, Mr. Mellon believes, comes from without the United States. He does not think it practical to em- ploy Navy craft in the place of the new coast guard ships it had been proposed to build, because the Navy craft available are too expensive to operate and too slow. The Secretary also holds that the suggestion that Shipping Board boats be used to check rum running is fm- practical. Most of the Shipping Board boats not now in use are re- garded by him as being of a wrong construction for coast guard work and likely to cost as much to operate in ope year as would be expended in the building of one of the proper type of coast guard craft. FAITH OF CHRIST URGED IN UNITARIAN LETTER By the Associated Press, BOSTON, January 10.—A letter sigrea by Rev. Dr. Samuel A. Eliot, president of the American Unitarian Association, and twenty-five Unitarian ministers in various parts of the country, made public last night, cails upon Unitarians to “reafiirm our be- lief that true religion, while of ne- guided by clear thinking, is | { | i cessity not a system of doctrine, but a way of | life and that what the world needs| today is not a falth about Jesus Christ, but the faith of Jesus Christ.” It was made plain that the letter was in no sense an official utterance. It was addressed to “The ministers and members of the free churches known as U Tose busl Tawns cover- sergrecos. | 6 10th st. vines, \d-m- ’uu “office, IING A VAN LOAD OF New York.
