Republican members of the Senate finance committee decided at a meet- ing today to seek the advice of Presi- dent Coolidge before putting the bonus bill ahead of other legislation, a step apparently favored by a ma- Jority of the committeemen. The movement to sidetrack the rev- enue bill gained momentum today, and a decision on the question is momen- tarily expected. None of the rate schedules in the revenue bill have been taken up, and gome members argue that before a sion Is attempted on the pro- posed tax reductions, the amount of | revenue called for in bonus and other pending measures should be deter- mined. If the revenue bill is kept before the committee, however, mem- bers believe a decision on the income tax schedules could be reached with- | in a tew davs. | The committee decided definitely to- | day not to hold hearings for parties | Interested in certain sections of the bill.

Guimares is now serving a three- year sentence in the federal prison at Atlanta for using the mails to de- fraud in a brokerage scheme.

Companion Flees. Police are searching the city for a man companion, who escaped while the woman was being arrested. In, a struggle with Charles Bernstein, proprietor of the tailor shop, the man freed himself and fled to the street. leaving his overcoat ind. “jimmy” was found in ome of the pockets.

She wore a decollete gown with a rope of pearls around her neck, a sable coat, silk stockings and pumps. Asks for Cigarette. She once interrupted her police in- quisitors to ask for a cigarette.

A, Chastleton apart- ments, to overturn last night on the | brink of the sea wall near the In- take bridge, Potomac Park, narrowly averting an accident similar to that which caused the death by drowning of two men at almost the same point several months ago. Romping of the dog in the coupe caused Mra. Woodhouse to lose con- trol of the steering wheel. Lieut. ‘Woodhouse by a quick jerk on the steering wheel succeeded In swerving the car just before It reached the water. Neither occupant of the car was seriously hurt. Broken glass cut the | lieutenant’s hand, and Wood- 2 Pad scene in a car, took the couple to Emergency Hospital, where the hus- band was treated by Dr. John De Mayo for the injury to his hand.

RECREATION PROGRAM URGED BY DR. LEWIS Pleads for Adequate Playground System at Lenten Service - in Keith’s The greatest need here today is to provide an adequate playground sys- tem for the boys and girls of Wash- ington, Dr. William Mather Lewis, president of George Washington Uni- versity, declared at the Lenten serv- ice this afternoon at Keith's Theater. The District is not doing its duty unless it provides for wholesome out- door recreation for its youth, Dr. {Lewis continued, pointing out the outdoor character of the life of Jesus. “I would rather have my students too much on the athletic field than hanging out on F_street and in the jazz palaces of Washington,” the speaker said. If Christ were to come to Washington today, Dr. Lewis said, he might speak from the steps of the Capitol, but would spend his hours of recreation in Rock Creek Park. “Get Away From Discontent.” “We need to get away from our winter of discontent, we need a real spring in the hearts of men, we need to fill cur lungs with fresh air instead of the smell of oil,” declared the edu- cator. “When we feel that the times are out of joint, usually we need to change our diet and take a brisk five- mile walk.” Dr. Lewis sald the solu- tion of the traffic problem here is so mple that no one will adopt it— alk to work.” There will be no service tomorrow : or Sunday. Services will be resumed Monday at 12:30 o'clock at the the- ater. equal to fifteen inches had it b dry. Only three times in the history of the weather bureau has Siich a severy snowstorm been recorded so late im March. The last time whs in 1914. It was pointed out, however, that the storm is virtually the spring equinox, the san having passed the line at 4:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Clearing ‘weather probably will return a sem blance of early spring weather to ‘Washington at least. Ome Direct Accident Reperted. The only sccident directly dus to the storm was the destruction today of an automoblle owned by Mrs. Lillian Zeick, of the McKinley apart- ments, 34 and E streets northwest. A tree fell under its undue burden of sodden snow and crashed directly through the machine as it stood park- ed befors the ment house. Emanuel Weston, colored, of Chevy Chase, was etruck by an automobile owned by Ernest Zwicker of 1444 N street northwest, at Colorado avenue |and 14th street northwest. His right, arm was broken. The branches of many, trees snapped under the weight of the wet snow, 2nd several cages of trees falling al together were reported by the poljce. The fact, however, that the snow did not tuin to ice and the lack of wind saved telephone and telegraph com- panies from serious trouble. The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company had all of its lines running at noon, but was keeping an anxious eye on the weather vane for possible sirong winds. e Postal Telegraph Company said only Tour of 1ts wires were qown and that it was handling business as RN C A al ' suffered n tion to business. oHRtatIIE: Twenty-five Morse wires were lost, but ample lines were feft open to handle full demands in all directions and repair gangs expected to have most of the broken wires in full operation before nightfall, Morris Hacker, supervisor of city refuse, had his force of street clean- ers out early this morning opening up the crosswalks and gutters down- town. Aided by dump wagons, they carted the slush and snow to man. holes and dumped them into the sewers. The motor truck plows also were turned out to clean the main traffic arteries. v As in the case of the last storm, daybreak brought with it a rapid melting of the snow, which greatly aided the street cleaning department. BLIZZARDS GREET SPRING. Chicago, St. Louis and Other Sec- tions Hit by Snowstorms. By the Associated Press, CHICAGO, March 21—Spring is being ushered in by one of the year's worst snowstorms. Three storms, ac- cording to the weather man, are scattering the snow from lakes to gulf through the northern Rocky mountain region, the central valleys, over the plains states and lakes area. In the southwest winter merged into spring at 3:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon with record snows on the ground. Portions of Oklahoma lay under a blanket from a few inc to sixteen inches deep at Muskogee, and in the vicinity of Garden City, Kans,, the ground was covered with more ‘than two feet of snow. Chicago fell under the sweep of & half gale from the north, which drove the snow all night in a_blinding blizzard. In St Louls the snow blocked trafic and crippled ratiroad, telegraph and telephone service. A number of accidents also were caused by the eight-inch fall. From Indiana and Illinois points early testimony came as to the severity of the March blizzard. Nowhere, however, was the temperature reported severe. In some places the snow melited as it fell, and throughout the storm affected area the thermometer was reported cling- ing closely to thirty-two degrees above zero. BALTIMORE IS GRIPPED.
