ARTERIAL STREETS SEEN TRAFFIC AID § Estahlishment in D. C., How- wever, May Wait on Funds From Congress. AVOIDS CROSSING PERILS Principal Avenues and Sixteenth Street Are Listed for Scheme, if Adopted. Establishment of certain highways offithrough traffic in this city, known agiarterial highways, has been given Jch consideration in the studies of m@thods for relieving the traffic situ- atfon here and moving it quickly out offi the zones where congestion fre- q&nlly occurs. However, there is lithle prospect that these highways will be established until such a time ady Congress provides funds with which to put a system of signs and lifhting which will leave no excuse fa those who disobey the regula- tins governing them. he following streets have ed for arterial highways lennsylvania avenue. icut avenue. assachusetts avenue erman avenu eorgia avenue. hode Island avenue. ew Hampshire avenue. xteenth street. These all bear a heavy burden of 1Be traffic moving through the city, afii many of them have dangerous c#9ss streets, where accidents are of frquent occurrence, particularly dur- |q;klh.; period when traffic is at its peak. Been 1 ! Trafic Has Right of Way. Mhe chief advantage of these so- called arterial highways is that the tréific on them has the right of wav, al those desiring to cross these stfeets must come to a complete stop béfore entering or crossing, thus put- i on them the burden of keeping cMar. Such a provision in the regu- laflions, it is believed. will do much taward cutting down the toll of traf- figlaccidents. iF'he nearest approach to anvthing ofithe kind that Washington now has Isjithe new provision in the police ru’rulallons providing that traffic mbving east and west on Florida avenue and desiring to enter Thir- tofinth street or cross it, must come t16;a complete stop before doing so. Ulifortunately, a death occurred at this dangero intersection before sueh a regulation was adopted. The point is a dangerous one, as it is at tHe foot of Thirteenth street hill, where cars “rush it to get up, and it is hard to stop when cars are com- ing down. The regulation wént into effiect last Monday. The regulation was opposed by In- spgctor Headley, head of the Traffic Bdreau, unless electrically lighted signs were placed, notifying motor- ists that they must stop. This sign now is being prepared and will be erected within a few days, in co- operation with the District electrical department, which will place a light on it. The éffect of this regulation on trdffic will be watched closely by the pofice, and it may be the entering wedge for the establishment of ar- texial highways. . Establishment Expensive. It is quite an expensive job to es- tablish these highways, and erect lighted signs all alond the line, esti- mated at from $50 to $60 a light. The trific department is opposed to their egtablishment unless there are light- ed! signs to notify motor traffic that it must stop before crossing the streets, While those who have been study- Ing the establishment of such high- ways are not disposed at first to al- Jow any increase in speed along them, it was pointed out that with their establishment will pass the provision of "the regulations requiring motor- ists to slow. down to twelve miles an hour at intersections. It was pointed out that when established the traffic will be closely watched, and if there is @ general disposition of those using th to comply with the speed regu- lations then in effect there is a possi bility that the speed limit may be i crgased along them. Many accidents, it has been shown, oceur on the streets that bear heav traffic by vehicles crossing them hur- ry§ng through without first ascer- tafping that the road is clear. fz many of the intersections it is hatd to see cross trafic until almost onfiithe curb line, and sometimes it is hafld to stop unless the brakes are exfieedingly good. he arterial highways are favored byi'those in charge of traffic, but, of copirse, they want to establish them right—that is, by providing lights al slgns, and until Congress pro- vides the money there is little likell- hodd of bringing them about. It is befleved, however, that they will m: teglally relieve the traffic tie-ups that frefuently occur, as the traffic will meve quickly out of the areas of con- zetion, and moving traffic does not calise jams or tie-ups. E&PERTS URGE CODE i 1{‘ TO PROTECT BUSINESS ridbe Associated Press. SNEVA,-. July 3L—International erts assigned to study draft arti- for a convention on unfalr com- tion in“business have forwarded a | of principles to the economic com- tee of the League of Nations. se recommend among other things t states which are members of the on for the Protection of Industrial iperty should be asked to assure redress, including penal reme- to nationals of other contracting ntries in case of fraudulent. use offftrademarks. 'he experts hold that suitable penal mijsures should be framed to prevent t fraudulent or misleading use of trjde designations other than trade- mirks, such as names, styles of firms, he@dings of printed matter, emblems, They believe that such measures uld apply not only to the repro- tion of designations or pictorial resentations, or both, but also to rable imitations of the same, as ] as to false indications of origin f identity of the producer, manu- urer or merchant, whenever such ices might cause confusion as to origin of the goods in question. rthermore, the recommendations 5t that the provisions of the Union the Protection of Industrial Prop- should be especially applied in case of seizures at frontiers’of ortant products which carry an al trademark or commercial name. he experts also suggest that the 1 convention should prohibit the stration or unauthorized use of onal emblems or arms, of official marks or signs indicating official anty, and also of any eolorable tions, as trademarks or as parts rademarks. This regulation should 1y only in the case of goods simi- to the goods for which the hall- k or sign in question would im- a guarantee. inally, the experts believe that signatory states should forbid the refiistration and provide for the can- cefling of any trademark which is noforious in trade as a mark owned byia national of another state.

Beyond the brief reference at Rock- land to honest government, the can- didate steered away from politics. “You will understand distinctly that at this moment I am not a can- didate for office,” he told his Bath audi- ence. “I have heard rumors that a nom- ination has been made and I am aa- vised that in about two weeks official notice to that effect will reach my ears. Until then a proper modesty requires that I should be innocent of it. Until that time I am under strict injunction that I am to make no po- litical deliverance.” Welcomed at Bath. Reaching Bath just at nightfall, Mr. Davis was welcomed by a com- mittee headed by L. C. Theabeau and escorted to the post office square. When his address had ended he was driven to the depot to board his train, which had ferried across the Kenne- bec River. He was cheered by a crowd gathered there and also was greeted at several places along the line where his train made brief stops. t Bath the nominee was presented Dr. James O. Lincoln, a Republi- can, with a golf stick—a mashie—the doctor explaining that it was his fa- vorite club. GOV. BRYAN ASKS FACTS. Message on Test to Coolidge Re- ferred to War Office. Request for further information regarding the Government's plans for observance of “Defense day” was made in a telegram received today by President Coolidge from Gov. Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, the Demo- cratic vice presidential nominee, who recently announced he would not co- operate with the Federal authorities in some features of the celebration on the ground that it would amount to_a military demonstration. The message was referred imme- diately to the War Department with- out being made public. Former Letter Published. ‘Without comment, the War Depart- ment today made public a letter from Go Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska. the Democratic vice presidential nominee, praising the work of the citizens’ military training camps throughout the count It was dated March 7. 1924, and said: “For the last two years I have been interested in the work carried on by the citizens’ military training camps. This work is purely volun- tary on the part of the youns men of the Nation and I am pleased to note how near Nebraska came to fur- nishing her full quota last year. “The citisens' military training camps represent concretely the thought of patriotism, civic respon- sibility and individual growth In all that makes for clean. healthy, vigor- ous American manhood. Discipline Is Praised. “Discipline I consider absolutely es- sential both in the youth and in the mature man, and as these training camps call for a discipline that is almost_entirely self-imposed, 1 con- sider their good effects greater, per- haps, than any that might be imposed otherwise. It encourages initiative and gives young men confidence in their abilities, and it brings together | voung men from all walks of life; it | has a tendency to broaden their views and creates a respect for con- stituted authority. “Add to this the material benefits received from thirty days of rugged camp life, with regular hours and pure, wholesome food, and I have no hesitancy in indorsing the system, and I hope the vear of 1924 will reg- ister Nebraska with her full quota of young men attending these camps.” Committee Pledges Ald. At a meeting of a committee of rep- resentative citizens named by the District Commissioners _ yesterday afternoon in the office of Engineer Commissioner J. Franklin Bell the decision was unanimously made to observe Defense day in_ Washingotn “with all the fervor and enthusiasm of which red-blooded Americans are capable.” A statement issued by the commit- tee after the meeting follows: “The observance of Defense day is in pursuance of the national defense act passed in 1920 by Congress and which anticipates that the manhood of America between the ages of 18 and 45 shall come up for inspection or rehearsal of man power to defend the Nation. “National Defense day in Washing- ton will be observed in a most prac- tical way. It will be a hypothetical lining up of man power for defensive purposes and at the same time make it possible for all of the agencies of human endeavor to go on just the same. Census of Males Asked. “To this latter end the owners or direct executives of every institution employing male labor in the District of Columbia are herewith called upon to make a survey of the men, ages 18 to 45, who desire for that day to give their services to their country, which circumstance will not affect their future activities one way or another. It is distinctly understood that the service is for one day only. “Since no nation or no people could survive who were all doing the same thing at the same time, the day will not be given over to pleasure, but serve as a patriotic opportunity for all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 to signify the type of service that they would care to be mustered into and to perform that service for the one day, Friday, Sep- tember 12. “Every business organism in the District of Columbia of whatever kind or character i3 to continue running on that day minus the services of those who enlist for the day. It will, therefore, not only be a demonstra- tion of high-minded patriotism upon the part of those who will enlist for the day, but of substantially equal patriotism on the part of those who will in the same hypothetical way demonstrate that they will keep the wheels of activity humming so that those who serve their country direct- 1y as soldiers for the day will be sustained by those back of the line. ‘Women's Help Appreciated. “In this undertaking the Distriot of Columbia committee In charge of National Defense day appreciates the conspicuous part that women. as well as men must take in this National Defense day. The committee has been gratified at the expressions which have come from mothers who have already patriotically responded, one mother declaring that even if it were in preparation for actual warfare she would rather have her son trained for that service than go in without any training. “The contribution of each and every office; governmental and private; of each ‘and every factory, of each and every wholesale and retail establish- ment, and all gathering places of men, including the various civie, fraternal and patriotic bodies, will be recorded Swat the Fly For assistance in the campaign against the fly, The ‘Sm has for distribution a quantity of wire-handle 4y lw‘\m“. Ask for One at the STAR OFFICE or Any of Its 3rmch Offices and a full count made, so that the measure of patriotic enthusiasm in this rehearsal of defense will be a record for the balance of America to admire.” The detailed requirement or respon- sibility as set forth by the committee at its meeting follows: Provide Enrollment Blanks. “In this and successive lssues The Star will contain Defense day en- tollment blanks. Every employer of male labor between the ages of 18 and 45 is requested to at once make a sur- vey of the emploves between the ages enumerated to find out who among them desires to participate in this one-day defense rehearsal. He should malil the blanks direct to the Defense day committee, District Bullding. Wherever possible the hypotheti- cal recruit should indicate the branch of service he desires to be associated With for the day. "The committee in charge of ar- rangements does not feel that it is necessary to make a special appeal to the citizenship of Washington In this or any other patriotic undertaking. Operations to Be Announced. “The program for the movement of forces and the exercises that will take place in the evening will be an- nounced at a later date. “An invitation s extended to or- &anizations of whatever character or kind to get behind the demonstration. The general committee will supply a speaker for any and all meetings. Ap- plication for speakers should be made to R. P. Andrews, chairman publicity committee.” Chairman Bell announced at the conclusion of the meeting that the following is a list of the personnel of committees that have in hand the ar- rangements for National Defense day in Washington: Committee on program for the demonstration—Isaac Gans, chairman; Milton E. Afles, Charles A. Baker, C. T. Clagett, Wililam Knowles Cooper, Elliot H. Goodwin and Roy L. Neu- hauser. Committee on publicity—R. P. An- drews, chairman: John _Gleissner, Newbold Noyes, Edward B.

BY ROBERT T. SMALL. NEW YORK, July 31.—The Eastern political battleground was beng ob- served today by the leaders of both Democratic ‘and Republican parties. The return of John W. Davis from his Maine vacation enabled him and his_campaign manager, Clem Shaver of West Virginia, to have their first heart-to-heart talk since Mr. Shaver's appointment. Chairman William M. Butler of the Republicans, after a brief stay in the Central West, was once more Fast of the Alleghenies, with conferences in Boston, New York and Washington on his pro- gram. The whole plan of the Davis cam- paign is to be mapped out in a series of conferences here and at the Davis home in Locust Valley, Long Island. Mr. Davis is not aversed to a long speaking tour. He is willing to bear any burden the Democratic leade: may feel called upon to place on his vigorous ' shoulders. But Mr. Davis personally believes more is to be gained by radio broadcasting than by the attempt to visit too many cities and towns. Every suggestion made thus far is tentative. It is re- called that the Harding campaign plans were shifted in_the midst of the battle, and the Democrats are going to leave their program flexible enough to .take care of any emer- gency. Must Fight for Montana. Demegratic managers say they have never entertained any hopes of carrying the States where the La Follette threat 1is greatest. Of course, if La Follette should tall short of his expected strength in these States and, instead of carrying them, should merely split the Republican vote, the- Democrats-feet they may have a chance as Wilson did during the paign of 1913. The Democrats contend that only one State which they might expect to carry is threatened by the La Fol- lette ticket. That State is Montana, where Senator Wheeler, the La ol- lette .vite presidential candidate, hails from. The Wheeler influence in the State will be offset largely, how. ever, by the fact that Senator Wals| is up for re-election this year. He is said-to have & Dpersonal following larger than that of his jumior col- league, and furthermore Mr. Wheeler has announced his intention of giving active supfport to Mr. Walsn. From Republican general head- quarters in Chicago has come confir- mation of the statement made in these dispatches that the G. O. P, is to center its Eastern fire on the State of New York. It is felt that the 45 votes of this State in.eaither the Davis or Coolidge column will go far toward swinging the election, even if La Follette should carry some of the Western States. Republican plans in the State depend largely upon the decision of Gov. Al Smith 28 to whether or not he will run again. That decision forms one of the principal subjects to be discussed by the Democratic leaders, including Mr. Davis, during the next few days. Purpese of Butler Trip. Republican spokesmen denied today that Chairman Butler had hurried East because of reports from Wash- ington that President Coolidge did not appear to be in as it physical condition as his managers would like to have him at the beginning of the campaign. It was admitted that Sec- retary of War Weeks and other inti- mates of the President had urged him recently to leave Washington for a time and to take at least & 10-day or two-week reat from his offieial duties. Thip the President has been reluctant to do.

The local harbor contributed first ship to the United States Coast Guard's new rum-chasing fleet late yesterday, when the General Allison, Army river boat, was officially turned over to the new owners and was escorted to Baltimore by the Coast Guard Cutter Apache. Where the General Allison will operate in the new war on smugglers ‘was not revealed, but it was learned that it will be converted at Balti- more for its new role of “mother ship tender.” The General Alllson has been ply- ing between this city and Fort Wash- ington for about two years. It is a concrete bottom boat, about 130 feet in length, with gasoline power, and according to Coast Guard authorities, has a capacity of about 100 soldiers. The boat is well known to all Army people In Washington and to a large number of others who have made the trip to Fort Washington. To Fight “Hijackers.” Lieut. Joseph Greenspun, command- ing officer of the cutter Apache, which escorted the General Allison to Balti- more, has also been given orders from Coast Guard headquarters, it was Male Butterflies Like Their Liquor, Females Shun It By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, July 31.—Male butter- fiies like to get drunk. while fe- male ones shun liquor and are perfectly content with water as a beverage, is the discovery of the zoologist, Sutt, after experiments along these lines. He kept all sorts of butterflies in his wire- screened garden and exposed sev- eral bowls containing either pure water or whisky of different brands. The males {nvariably took to the liquor bowls and sipped 50 1ong that they fell off the brim and rolled to the ground. ‘The females, however, behaved and without exception shunned the alcohol. ALL SERVICE TIME COUNTS FOR BONUS (Continued from First Page.) was absent without leave for some period of time, varying with the de- gree of determination to seek amuse- ment and relief from monotony. No Increase in Cost. The decision will not increase the expense of the bonus, as the slight increase in amounts to be received by the veterans eventually, on account of payments upon adjusted service certificates becoming due, will be off- set by the saving in cost of comput- ing for deduction these relatively small sums. 5 This is the second decision of the Government of such a liberal character that veterans will feel sure they are going to receive every benefit that Con- gress intended they should have. The first was made by President Coolidge when he ordered work to proceed upon the payment of the bonus to the vet- erans, regardless of the fact that Con- gress, before its recent adjournment, had only authorized appropriations, and failed at the last moment to actually pass 2 law making the authorized ap- propriations evailable. The real story of the second liberal interpretation of the act is that veterans and their de- pendents are going to be given the benefit of the doubt and that they are going to receive the liberal adjustment of compensation to which they are en- titled. They are compelled to fight the third party, or La Follette movement, in the granger States of the West and Northwest, and to try to hold_ the Democrats in check in the East. It is no secret that the Republicans hoped the Democrats would nominate & Western or Southern man, so that they could concentrate their fire vir- tually in one section of the country. The nomination of Mr. Davis, hailing from West Virginia, but living in New York. unquestionably put an added burden upon the Republican machine. There is much political significance under the simple statement of Repub- lican chieftains that in certain States of the West they are to make their real fight against the La Follette out- fit and ignore the Democrats to all intents and purposes. On the surface this would seem to be a gesturs be- littling the importance of the Demo- crats, but the latter claim it is'a rec- ognition on the part of the G. O.

Special Instruction Urged for Countrymen Sailing for New Lands. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, July 31L—Outlines of a new policy for relieving the pres- sure of population in Japan have been sketched by the Committee on Emigration and Colonization of the new Imperial Economic Council ap- pointed two months ago by Premier Kiyoura. The first meadsures suggested look toward further populating of Hok- kaido, the Northern island of Japan. Other measures deal with the send- ing of emigrants abroad. The com- mittee’s suggestions will be placed before the whole Economic Coun- cil first, and then before the cab- inet for approval. The committee's report, a lengthy document, is sum- marized as follows: Critieal to Empire. “Japan’s limited area, together with “her large annual increase of population, presents a critical prob- lem for the Empire. Japan has no more important problem than to find an outlet for her surplus population. A solution must be sought at home as well as_abroad. For domestic migration Hokklado presents the greatest opportunities, “Hokkaido now has a. population of 2,400,000, but has room for more than 4,000,000] A successful golicy of emi- gration abroad requires judicious financing. Emigrants going abroad should not be permitted to leave Japan without sufficient funds for their proper establishment in their new homes. The government should establish a special banking organ for such a purpose. To insure a success- ful policy of emigration to other countries, the following suggestions should be followed: Problem of Emigration. “Special education of intending emi- grants about the conditioms and cus- toms of the countries to which they intend to go; establishment of an emigrant’s home; establishment of special diplomatic policies toward the countries to which immigrants are nt; emigration laws should be re- sed to afford better protection to emigrants; emigrants overseas should be exempted from the conscription law; emigrants after a fixed period of residence abroad should be en- couraged to naturalize in the coun- tries of their residence; a spe cial commission on overseas emigra- tion should be established; outlets for overseas emigration must be sought in lands where the least resistance is offered. FORD FLEES GREETINGS. Disappears to Avoid “This Birth- day Stuff.” DETROIT, July 31.—In an effort to get away from “all that birthday stuff,” Henry Ford disappeared from Detroit yesterday on the occasion of his sixty-first birthday. His business associates professed to know nothing of his whereabout, and it was said he had driven away from his Dearborn estate the night before to an unannounced destination to avoid birthday callers. Mr. Ford is reported to have undergone a physi- cal examination recently, when he was pronounced in excellent health, Folletts ticket is more likely to derive strength from the ranks of the Democrats than from those of the Republicans Senator Walsh pointed out that the Northwestern States, in which La Follette is at present expected to make a very strong showing—and to carry those States—have been in the Republican list in the past. Necessarlly, if the electorial votes of these States go to La Follette it will mean a loss to the Republicans, he said. Reports received here by Demo- cratic leaders indicate that in Wash- ington—where two years ago they elected a Democratic Senator—Dill— the party has a good chance to carry the State in November—due in part to the defection from Republican ranks to the La Follette cause. California Is Claimed. From California also come reports that the strength which went to Roosevelt and Hiram Johnson in Bull Moose days, and to Johnson in later days, will swing to La Follette in large proportion, leaving the Demo- cratic ticket in a good position to carry the State with a substantial plurality. The Democrats remember the part that California played in the election of Woodrow Wilson in 1916 with no little satisfaction. But while they are looking for vie- tories in the Western and Middle Western States, the Democrats are speaking hopefully now of some of the Eastern States which have gone often to the Republicans. Among these: are West Virginla—which they expect Davis to carry largely through ersonal popularity and State pride, just as Massachusettes is regarded as sure for Coolidge. New York State, particularly if Smith runs for gov- ernor, is considered by the Democrats as likely to fall into the Democratic list in November. They had borné in upon them the great popularity of gml;n during the convention in New ork. ‘While it has been declared by the Republicans that New England is sure for Coolidge, the Democrats re- cently have had very encouraging.re- ports from New Hampshire. Getting _out to the Middle West, Kansas, the Democrats say, may be found in the Democratic columa, though there is some prediction that it will go tto La Follette when the show-down comes. Both the Wemo- crats and the Progressives insist that the Republican in the Sunflower State is in difficulties. K Oil Issue Alive. ‘The Demdcrats do not intend, as Senator Walsh pointed out today, that the issue raised by the dis- closures of the Senate oil investiga- tion shall be lost sight of. There will be a strenuous campaign along the lines of a demand for clean gov- ernment. Senator Walsh will go West im- mediately after the notification of Mr. Davis, and will get into the campaign as soon as the primaries and the State conventions are out of the way in his State. He has no opposition for the Democratic nomination for Senator. There are several Republi- can candidates for nomination and e Farmer-laor candidats.

Following publicity given the case, Magistrate Marsh was re- lieved of his traMio court assign- ment and Doran and Patrolman Fleming, who served the summons on, Miss Rockefeller, were trans- ferred. PRIMITIVE PEOPLE ON BABUYAN ISLE Population 77 Souls, Money Unknown and Fear of Volcano Only Worry. By the Amociated Press. MANILA, July 31.—The most prim- itive people of the entire Philippine archipelago dwell on the Island of Babuyan, some 60 miles north or Luzon, according to members of Gov. Gen. Wood's party, who visited that group recently. The total pop- ulation of the island 1s 77, composed of 14 married men, the same number of married women, 20 adult unmar- ried women, 25 children of both sexes and four old women. Money is unknown among tne people, with the exception of Ber- nardino Rosal, the head man, who treasures a few silver pesos as a re- minder of his former life in Luzon.

Dr. Pacifico Laygo, an assistant in the Philippine Health Service, who was a member of the governor gen- eral's party, landed on Babuyan Is- land and explored the volcano which recently was in eruption. From the top of the mountain to the water's edge the once exuberant vegetation was burned off and boul- ders, ashes and lava cover the moun- sald Dr. Laygo. “A new crater appears to have formed from which steam is continuously rising. The advisability of transferring the inhabitants to the mainland of Luzon was discussed with the islanders, but they decided that they preferred to remain on Babuyan, although most of their corn and camote fields were destroyed by the eruption. They were terrorized by the flow of rocks, ashes and steam from the volcano, but they could not be persuaded to leave. their only desire being to get to the northern end of the island, where, they believed, they would be safe from future eruptions.” CHURCH ASKS PROBE OF FIRPO U.

BERLIN, July 31.—America's new immigration law fs a bitter disap- pointment to the 3,000.000 Russian refugees scattered throushout Eu- ropean countries. Under the new law only 1,700 Russians may enter Amer- fean ports annually, and not more than 170 shall enter in any one month. t At one time there were believed to be about 500,000 Russian refugees in Germany alone. The number is now much reduced, as the high cost of living forced many of them to seck other countries where exchange con- ditions are more favorable. In Paris, Berlin, erague, Munich, Dresden, Bucharest, Belgrade and Rome large Russian colonies are en- deavoring to keep up their traditions in the hope of being able to return one day to the land which is so dear to them. Every rumor of Bolshevist collapse is eagerly received by the groups which still belie conditions similar to those which existed befor: the war will be restored in Russia, and that they will be able to return and claim the property which Lenin and his associates seized in the na of the Communist government.
