RECIPROCITY BIL DEFEAT FORECAST Blanton to Advocate Substi- tution of Aswell Measure in House Tomorrow. Tomorrow is District day in the House. Acting Chairman Zihiman of the House District committee is pre- paring to bring up again as unfin- ished business the gasoline tax bill, also known as the auto reciprocity measure. 4 It already has been indicated on the floor on the District day two ‘weeks ago and in statements by many members that this measure, as it ‘was amended in committee, will not be approved by the House, because it affords no rellef to Distriot auto- mobile owners, while causing an ad- ditional cost of some $600,000 a year. Some members frankly state their conviction that “this is legislation in the interests of Maryland and not of the National Capital Aswell Bill Urged. Representative Thomas L. Blanton, democrat, of Texas, the ranking mi- nority member of tho House District committee, is prepared to offer the Aswell bill as a substitute and has appealed to his colleagues in a eir- cular letter to vote for the Aswell Dbill. That provides for auto-tag reai- procity throughout all the states of the Union and the District of Co- lumbia by prohibiting the use of any federal funds for road building in any state that refuses to recognize the auto licence tag of any other state. Representative Zihlman is ready to make a point of order nst Rep- resentative Blanton's motion to sub- stitute the Aswell bill and feels sure that with the procedents he is pre- pared to quote that the proposed amendment will be declared out of order. Defeat Is Predicted. Then there will come a direct vote on the gasoline tax bill, which prob- ably will defeat the measure. Representative Zihlman had ex- pected to call up the police and fire- men's pay increase bill immediately following the gas tax measure to- morrow, but he has been appealed to by several members, in view of the fact that the next day would be Lin- coln day, to call up for passage the bill to make Lincoln's birthday a boliday in the National Capital, which has been reported favorably from the committes As Representative Blanton has served notice that he is strongly op- posed to this measure and will fight it, there is likelihood that the rest of the day will be spent in debate on that bill. e MONTICELLO DRIVE PROGRESSING HERE Fund Locally Now Stands at $5,000—lllinois Cam- paign Organized.

SEMI-MARTIAL LAW PREVAILS IN HERRIN; 12 HELD IN MURDER (Continued from First Page.) - ®f ten additional companies of Nation- #l guard to the county. Police Chief in JailL John Ford, chief of police of Her- rin, is being held in a jail at Murphysboro, IlL, and Young is acte ing chief of police of Herrin. Shortly before 6 o'clock tonight four squads of guardsmen, with bay- onets fixed and flanked by four ma~ chine guns, cleared the main street £ all automobiles, broke up groups of men and ordered merchants to €lose thelr establishments early. Machine guns have been mounted on a building adjacent to the city ball headquarters of Young, and near the Herrin jail, where several men are being held charged with Cagle’s mur- @er. Guardsmen also are patroling fhe streets in this vicinity, prohibit- ing anyone from using the thorough- fares. Trouble “Not Improbable.” Col. Culbertson declared tonight the gituation is “quite serious,” although, fe added, the military and civil au- thorities have it well in hand. “How- @ver,” he continued, “it is not im- probable that hostilities may break sut afresh.” ‘Young, when asked by what man- Ser he was acting chief of police of ‘Herrin, declared that due to the emer- gency he was made acting chief by £he common consent of the law abid- g element of Herrin.” The dry leader declared he had previously been appointed as a city policeman and simply took command o2 the force due to the absence of the | ¢hief and the serious situation pon- Sapnting Remy e LEWIS THAN. MRS. CANDLER, 2 MEN FOR GIFTS TO G. W. U. FUND! HELD IN ‘PARTY’ RAID University Head Lauds Hearty Response to Appeal|Young Wife of Millionaire Admits for Million-Dollar Endowment—Closing. Luncheon Tomorrow. Thanks to the people of Washing- ton for their hearty response to the appeal of the George Washington University for a million-dollar en- dowment fund was given last night by President William Mather Lowls of the institution. Tomorrow will see the closing business luncheon of the local cam- paign *organization at 12:30 o'clock at the New Ebbitt Hotel, although the organization will continue its work for the remainder of the month, s0 that every ome In Washington may have opportunity to subscribe. “The people of Washington are re- sponding to the opportunity of in- vesting in George Washington Uni- versity in a way which is most heartening and gratifying,” said Dr. Lewis. “Civic spirit of the highest type is manifest in the spontancous rallying to the aid of this institution, which is so much a part of the city life. We are now confident that as soon as it is possible to reach all of the citizens the million dollars which is sought will be fully subscribed. Advantage in Capital “The unselfish work of the alumni and others who are giving their time to the promotion of this movement assures success. We now enter upon the second week of our intensive cam- paign with the assurance that George Washington University is to have the opportunity of taking its rightful place and of attracting an ever-in- creasing army of students to Wash- ington to participate in all of the advantages which the Capital city affords. “At the end of this week we are carrying the campaign to the nation at large. Qur New York alumni will rally on_Friday evening, February the Chicago alumni on February , and so on throughout the cities of tlie nation. 1 will carry to them the most Inspiriting message that could be given, namely, that those who know us best, the people of Washington, have proven their faith in the institution by their generous and numerous contributions, It is this statement of fact which will bring to us from all parts of the na- tion the funds which we so much need.” Type of Architecture. In designing the great quadrangle for the new George Washington Uni- versity group, the architects, Albert L. Harris and Arthur B. Heaton, have taken the style of architecture used in the time of our first President and also a little earlier than the organization of the institution. This style may well be called a true American type, although it was developed from the Georgian of England, and it never has, nor never will, losé its charm, it was declared. The first building, or unit No. 1, will be a part of a great quadrangle, which will be about 400 feet on one street and about 370 feet on the other. This first unit is about 136 feet front and {he whole bullding will be four stories igh. It will be all of brick similaz 1o that in the buildings of Washington's time, such as Christ Church in Alexandria. The great court will be of the same finish as the strect fronts, and, in fact, will be more interesting than the out- side. This will be used at times as an outdoor auditorium. The rear of the auditorium itself will project into the court and will be designed after the churches of Colonial days, with a tower and belfry in which it is hoped that some one will place chimes or a carillon. 1t is the purpose of the architects to give these buildings the appearance of the buildings of oid, but from a view- point of the practical; expressing the modern ideas of higher education, and following the style for which the’ Fine Arts Commission has been striving in this great capital of the nation.

ATLANTA, Ga., February 9.—Atlan- ta’s soclal and business circles were given a new sensation here today, when Police Chief James L. Beavers and Police Capt. A. J. Holcombe arrested Mrs. Mary Little Ragin Candler, young wife of Asa G. Candler, sr., millionaire soft drink manufacturer, as she and W. J. Stoddard and ‘G. W. Keeling were sitting around a table on which reposed a quart bottle containing liquor. They were taken from an apartment house in a fashionable residence section of the city to the police station and released on bonds of $100 each for appearance before the city recorder next Tuesday morning. Mrs. Candler admitted her identity to the police chief: and said she and her friends “‘were havinz a little party” in the apartment, which, she declared, be- longed to a friend of hers. The apart- ment owner, she told the chief, had gone 10 a nearby suburb for the afternoon. Sees No Harm in Party. “We are just having a little party. I don't sec ‘any harm in that’ Chief Beavers sald Mrs. Candler told him. He declared he told her he was a per- sonal friend of her husbands and that “it's an outrage that you have to be arrested under such circumstances as these,” to which Mrs. Candler replied, the chief said “There are bther people in Atlanta beside members of the Candler fam- ily and beside, we were just having a little party in which there was no harm.” Mr. Stoddard, who is president of the National Association of Dyers and Cleaners, expresed concern over what his wife might think of the incident, officers reported Mr ocling had nothing to say, they stated. The prisor were vooked at police headquarters for violation of section 1768 of the city code, and held under the part of which pro- vides for the arrest of “any person, who shall keep a place weher liquors either alcohol, malt or vineous, are kept and sold, and where men and women come and drink, either in the room where such liquors are kept and sold, or in a restaurant or other place connected therewith, or any place not connected with such place where the liquors are kept or sold, where men and women drink.” ' $100; H.

AIMS, Dr. Lewis Explains University to Press Club, George Washington University is unique among educational Institu- tions in that it is so located as to extend opportunities to thousands of governments employes for further edu- cational advancement and cultural development. William Mather Lewis, president of the Institution, told members of the National Press Club, in an address before that body yester- day afternoon. Another point made by Dr. Lewis was the University’s advantage in having the federal government's many educational facilities so close at hand. The speaker also explained thaot the type of educational institu- tion of which George Washington University is representative, that af- fords a_chance for workers to ad- vance themselves mentally during hours that they are not employed in making a livelihood, is rapidly grow- ing in numbers. He mentiored in- stitutions of this type in New York, Toledo _and other cities. Dr. Lewis' address marked the opening of the 1924 entertainment program of the National Club. Frank L. Fisher 0f the National Geo- graphic Society, is chairman of the Club’s entertainment for the current year, o _THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, FEBRUARY 10, 1924—PART 1. D. C.

Opposition to the introduction of intelligence tests in the Powell School was voted by the Mount Pleasant Citizens’ Association at a meeting last night. The organization decided to report to the Federation of Citizens’ Associations that its most urgent need was better artificial lighting for the Powell School. A report from Dr. Le Grande Powers opposing « bond issue for such regular expenses as that of pro- viding an adequate school system, but favoring a bond issue for such proj- ects as playgrounds and parks, pro- vided provisions for such looked ahead for 100 years or more, was read.

White. the as- sociation passed a resolution re- questing the Federation of Citizens’ Asssciation to give prompt consid- eration to and take prompt action on the Senate commitice's trafiic re- port. Two resolutions presented in the report of M. W. Lewis of the zoning committee were adopted. Ome was a request that the property north of Ingleside Terrace and Mount Pleas- ant etreet. bordering on the pro- posed Piney branch parkway, zoned as A residential. It was point- @l out that this property was now zoned as B residential and that this is undesirable, as it permitted the erection of row houses, the back yards of which would be on the pro- posed parkway. The other resolution requested the change of the property on the south~ east cormer of 16th and U streets northwest as B residential instead of first commercial, as at present. Pass Park Resolution. F. G. Coldren presented a resolu- tion, which was adopted, urging that Congress take prompt action on_ the measure providing for the purchase of land east of the 16th street bridge for park purposes.

Hyatt com- mending Julius L Peyser and Ernest Greenwood for their stand in seek- ing to have the meetings of the Board of Education public, was re- ferred to the committee on schools.

Rogers for his service to the association and to the public in preparing a paper on the first battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac, of which he was an_eyewlitness.

Championing the cause of the men discharged summarily from the bu- reau as a result of Brewer's reports to President Harding, Representative L. C. Dyer of Missouri asked Repre- sentative La Guardia if his resolu- tion “wil also clear up the cases of many men who were let out. I think without cause, and most unjustly. We have waited a long, long time for that to be cleared up. Will your res- olution have anything to dc with that 7" Representative LaGuardia replied his resolution “will call upon the Secretary of the Treasury for the facts as to certain charges contained in the report of Mr. Brewer to the Department of Justic “What 1 ask in my resolution,” he sald “is the number of bonds that have been issued with their serial number, the amount realized there- from by the government, the amount that has been redeemed and the dis- position of those bonds, and if de- stroved by, whose authority.” Byrns Joins Debate. Representative W. Byrns of Ten- nessee, ranking democrat on the ap- propriations committee, then joined in_the debate, saying: “I would like to ask this further question. The gentleman has testi- fied relative to the duplication of bonds and I want to ask him if the Secretary of the Treasury and those in charge of the Treasury under this and previous administrations have not aiready stated to the country that there has been no such duplica- tion and on such loss as that to which the gentleman refers, and which was reported on by Mr. Brewer, the special representative of the Department of Justice?” Has Seen Bonds, Representative La Guardia re- sponded: “I do not care what any Secretary of the Treasury said, I saw the duplication of the bonds.” Representative Byrnes continued: “But the gentleman surely has read the statements recently made by the ing just what occurred with reference to those bonds and showing tbat there was no loss to the government and no such condition as has been described by a number of gentlemen in the newspapers very recently.” Representative La Guardia replied that “At least ten members of this House had thoge bonds in their hands and it was not necessary to be an expert on printing or on engraving 0 see the difference in the type: and what we ask is to bring the evidcrce before this House and let the House decide whether there has been dupli- cation and whether there has been loss to the government.” . Representative Byrns _ continued: “Can the gentleman explain, under those circumstances, why the Secre- tary of the Treasury and the other important Treasury officials have is- sued the statements that they have issued relative to those bonds and also the statement made by the Pres- ident of the United States that just- ice required the reinstatment of these officials in the bureau of engraving and printing, who were unjustly de- prived of their positions and of their civil service rights a couple of years ago? Charges Irregularities. Representative La _Guardia re- sponded “that if the House investi- gates, it will find great irregularities existed at the time these bonds were issued.” Representative Blanton next de- clared that“ if the gentleman _will carry his investigation far enough he will” convince the gentleman from Missouri and the gentleman from Tennessee that the President had sufficient reason for his action in the premises; and he will also convince the country that the stand taken by the Treasury Department is a stand of weak-kneedness, political weak- kneedness. in not backing up the proper administration of affairs and the protection of the government's rights in the premises.” Representative La Guardia answer- that “this {s not my investigation. At least twenty-five members of this House have taken an interest in it. There are various bills and resolu- tions now before the committee and what We want to get is prompt ac- tion In order to bring_the evidence and proof before this House. Prosecution Is Urged. Representative Newton, republican of Missouri, suggested that “if the gentleman has gone into the faot of frauduleat duplication, then he cer- tainly knows that some one on the' outside has profited. Then, why do they not present those facts to the prosecuting officials and prosecute the men who are guilty?” Representative LaGuardia answer- ed: “That is a matter for the Depart- ment of Justice, and we are going to ask why the Department of Jus- tioe does not do its duty.” ‘Warning to the republicans that BT Bver b Repreacntatve.

Senator Phipps of Colorado 2 member of the subcommittee which handled the bill and also chairman of the subcommittee which handles the District appropriation bill, was large- ly instrumental in bringing about the inclusion in the bill of the $500,000 for a medical school at Howard U: versity. Item In Restored. He ulso supported the restoration to the bill of the $207,500 for the maintenance and equipment of the university, which had been stricken out of the bill in House on a point of order raised by Representative Byrnes of South Carolina because of an address made by Rev. Archibald Grimke, one of the trustees of tl university. During the consideration of th. bill in subcommittee the president ot the university, Dr. J. Stanley Durke« and Dr. Emmett J.

Many of you will re- member that in the last Congress, when the gentleman from South Da- kota, Mr. Johnson, brought this mat- ter up, I took the position that for one, 1 was certainly going to ap sume that the Secretary of the Treas- ury, a responsible official, could be presumed to have done his duty when his attention was directed to a charge of this kind, and until some evidence was brought forward, 1 did not pro- pose to do anything that would create distrust in the minds of the holders of those bonds. Denies Partinsanship. “Now, do not misunderstand me, my republican friends. 1 am mnot going to talk partisanship to you. I am go- ing to make a suggestion that will prevent partisanship. Oh, gentlemen. I am not thinking about the politicai end of this_but this is a campaign vear, and 1 do not want even political discussions to cause the distrust to be any greater than it is already about any department of our government “Here stands a man on the floor, on his responsibility as a member of thix House, and members have stated in the press and we know it to be true, that a group of members of this House, the gentleman from New York, Mr. La Guardia, and the gentleman from lllinois, Mr. King, and other gentlemen, have examincd what i man Brewer says is - dence to him, as an official investi- gator of the Fovernment, that there been frau hais! has reached the point where thie man Brewer, who was trusted by President Harding, has inspired ar- ticles in the papers of this morning, one coming from the White House. which indicates that the President cannot understand why he is still backing him. Gentlemen, you better end the uncertainty. I think you better have a small committee, not a great big committee, a committer of three and not over five level-head- ed men_in this House to stop thi: row and remove this uncertainty.
