The value of the paper amounted to about a quarter of a milllon dollars, but their worth nil in the eyes of the law.

All that could be chewed to pleces in the macer- ating machines and then burned was 50 treated, while the metals were cut to pieces with sledge, chisel and an- vil and then melted into a shapeless mass to be sold for junk. While secret service officials de- olined to disclose exact details. of their work {n the last vear, it was known that their net had enmeshed & few more than one thousand per- sons, only a small number of whom escaped conviction and terms in prison. The rajds netted anywhere from a few hundred dollars to $50,000 caches, and the déenominations of the bills taken ranged from $1 to $100. AGREES T0 $14,400 FOR DEEDS OFFICE (Continued from First Page.) committee of the whole approved an amendment offered by Represent- ative Cramton, which directs the Public Utilities Commission to en- force the act prohibiting the opera- tion of street cars with open vesti- bules in the winter. “Here 15 a statute, passed nineteen years ago, which has not vet been complied with by the Washington Railway and Electric Company,” sald Kepresentative Cramton. i T presume_this is the oniy eity in ho United States whero weather as severe as we have here at times in the winter prevails where street cars are permitted to be operated with open vestibules, with molormen exposed to the storm and tho sleet, standing in one place hour after hour opérating a street car. with the safety of pas- ~engers intrusted to their keeping, and +xposed to the cold and the storm. It is time that this condition was ended through some attention on_the part of the public offictals of the District in enforcing a law that Congress passed nineteen vears ago. While it is true the Public Utilities Commission can- not go into the court, 1 think perhaps they have the authority to Issue an order independent of this statute, but that they have not chosen to do, al- though for two years I have had the matter up with them. They do have the authority to employ men to go ibout the streets to check up on these ‘ompanies and see to What extent they are operating cars that are-in viola- tion of this law, and that can be paid ‘or from this appropriation. Cramton Sponsors Proposal. The Cramton amendment provides that mot more than $1,000 of an ap- propriation of $5,000 for the incidental axpenses of the Public Utilities Com- mission shall be used in connection with the enforcement of that act for relief of the street car motor men.

ARGENTINA MENACED BY NATIONAL STRIKE By the Associated T rom. BUENCB AIRES, May 2.—President de Alvesr was faced today with the alternat ve of postponing application of the new pension 1aw or accepting the consuquences of a nation-wide strike, unique probably in the history of any country for the reason that it is virtually a common protest from both capital and labor against what is termed an absurd piece of legisl: tion. The law provides for the de- duction of 5 per cent from salaries, to be applied to » pension fund, the em- ployers contributing & like amount. Strikes and lockouts have already begun in various cities, and in Rosa- rio several persons are reported to have been wounded in a clash be- tween strikers and police. A city- wide strike 1s scheduled to begin in Buenos Alres today, while a general closing down by the employers is fixed for Monday, with the likelihood that it will continue unless the gov- ernment ylelds. The general closure would affect many non-union employes, such as those of the department sto! and other commercial concerns who are participating in the general strike, Householders throughout the city besieged the provision stores to- day, buying up %umuuu of food Iu{- plies to tide them over the strike period. - President de Alvear, while repre- sented as acknowledging the imper- fections of the new law, has taken the stand, as it is on the statute books, he is powerless to alter it and obliged to see that it 1s enforced. He has promised to send a message to Congress, making amendment of the law, but the legislative body cannot be _convened . immediately, - owing -to imi technical and legal difficulties aris- ng from the recent eloctions.

PACIFIST DELEGATES TURN TO ECONOMICS Submerge Discussion of War to Proposals for New Social Order in World. The fourth international congress of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, meeting in the Washington Hotel, had settled down today to frank discussion of ways and means of bringing about a new ‘“social and economic order.” | Disarmament and elimination of war had topl Abolishment of protective tarif(s, immigration Jaws and passporte, mak- ing it possible for travelers to go to apparently become a subordinate and from country after country with- | out belng subjected to scrutiny by passport officlals, take or leave whatever articles they might choose, without restraint or taxation, were some of the changes advooated by speakere. > New Ecnomlic Order. Miss Emily Balch, representing the United States, declared that the most fmmediate _ difficulty is “the allisnce of nationalist politics with business and finance. She cali~ ed for the establishment of & new international economic order, in which would disappear discontent and struggle” through a growing realiza- tion of “social justice in each sepa- rate country.” “The economic imperiatism between the pursuit of profits and the pursuit of power ls especlally eonnected in our minds with the policy of the late German {mperial governmant,” Mis: Balch said. “But it is a policy pur- sued not alonc by Germany. The whole structure of protective tariff, government aid in protccting Inven- tors abroad, government backing of bankers in foreign countries, pre- vents any true international order in the wo: Control of Waterways. International control of waterways, the speaker asserted, Is esxential. Not only the Panube and the Rhiné must | ba internationalized, she declared, but the Dardanelles, Suez Canal and similar water- g eil. “There are far more wide-reaching and complete daveiop- ments of a world economy to which 1 am sure all of us here look for ward,” Misx Balch concluded. “Bat the fmmediate problem which we ‘must solve cr perish ts how to dis- solve the unholy alliance of cannon and capital, how to end coonomic im- perialikm in all of its forms, and to end It soon."” Scores “Saperstaten.” Mile, Marguerite Dumont of France daciared that above national states there exist what may be termed ‘superstales” which are in violent with each other. Oil and steel, she waid, are the most powerful of theso superstute industial groupe “The superstate of oll,” Miss Dumont asserted, “is already starting friction between’ the United States and Eng- land. What appears to be a post-war struggle betwaen France and Ger- many is really the struggle of two International industrial groups for control of steel.” Touching affairs more domestic to the United States, Miss Dumont de- clared the recent revolution in Mex- fco could be traced to. the maneuvers of the Royal Dutch-8hell Company and the American Standard Oil Com- pany, which are rivals in the Mexican petroleum fleld. Commercial -inter- ests dealing in oll dominated the Genoa conference, the Speaker de- clared, adding that they have laid the foundation for future conflicts bstween nations in their struggle for concessions in various fields. e e e PRESIDENT HEARS OBJECTORS TO BONUS Gives Audience to Its Foes While Measure Is Prepared {or White House Action, While the bonus bill was passing through varfous mechanical processes today at the Capitol, preparatory to its transmission to the White House, President Coolidge had an engugement with a delegation which came here to express the opposition of the Ex-Sery- fce Man's Anti-Honus League. Whether the bonus bill would reach the President before Monday was not certain. Final congressional action was taken on it yesterday with adoption by the House of the conference report, but the processes of engrossing and signa- ture by the presiding officers of the Senate und House were left until today. In any event. it will not come before Mr. Coolidge for action until late next week, as it will be sent to the Treasury Department and probably to the Vet erags’ Burcau for udvice upon being re- ceived at the Whito House, The Anti-Bonus League delegation, headed by Knowlton Durham, na. tional president of the organization, had prepared for the President & brief setting forth detailed arguments against the bill passed by Congress. Veto of the measure also -was recommended to the President by Marvin Gates Sperry, national preai- dent of the Private Soldiers’ and Sail- ors' Legion, who told the Executive the legislation was “a deliberate sub- terfuge, a hypocritical pretension of interest in and devotion to the vet- Colum teated J Ufner.

The brief also set forth the foltow- ing points: “The bonus does not represent an inherent right, but is instead simply an acquired taste: : “The demand for a bonus. under the ‘guise of adjusted .compensation is baged upon & misconception of eccnomic fact. “No measure yet proposed provides for adjustment of compensation. “The bonus advochtes misrepresent the character and economic status of the world war veteran, and, “The proposed botus legislation Ts inconsistent with the ends for which disbursements are ostensibly sought.” and for them to] cluss | the Panama Canal. | SINCLAIR CASE TAKEN, UNDER ADVISEMENT Justice Hoehling May Give Writ- ten Ruling on Validity of Contempt Charges. U. CLOSES ARGUMENT Prosecution Holds Question in 0il Inquiry Pertinent. Justice Hoehling of the District Supreme Court today took under ad- visement the question of the validit of the indictment which charge Harry F. Sinclair, lessee of Teapor Dome, with contempt of the Unite States Senate In refusing to answe questions propounded to him by the oil investigating committee. He will probably render w written opinion after examining the cases cited by counsel for the ofl magnate and for the government. United States Attorney Peyton Gor- don closed the argument for the prosecution today ~and Attorney George P. Hoover of counsel for Sin- cluir, answered the contentions of tho government and restated the clain of Mr. Sinclair that the Senate lackcd power to inquire into what he cor sidered his private affairs Maj. Gordon urged thal the indict ment made the allégation that th questions put to Mr. Sinclair wer. pertinent to the inquiry beforc th. committee and such allegation could not be successfully attacked by de murrer or motion to quash.

Gordon, even after the Se:.- stc had authorized the bringing « suits to void the ol leases.
