GENEVA, September 24-—Germany will be admitted to the 1928 Olympic games at Amsterdam, Holland, and the games will not be curtailed in extent, according to an article by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, presfdent of the international Olympic com- mittee, which will appear in the next number of the Revue de Geneve.

P. MEETS. State Candidates Named by Gros- beck Certain of 0. K. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, Mich.,, September 24.— Michigan Republicans met here today in their State convention to choose nominees for secretary of state, attorney general, auditor general and State treasurer. With the Ku Klux Klan, which made a bid for delegates, apparently completely overwhelmed, the slate of candidates indorsed by Gov. Groes- beck, who is a strong supporter of the Coolidge administration, ap- peared certain of nomination. Three incumbents, Charles J. Deland, secre- tary of state Andrew B. Dougherty, attorney general, and O. B. Fuller, auditor general, seemed to be assured of renomination. Frank D. McKay of Grand Rapids appeared to have the inside track for the nomination for treasurer. The delegates to the convention attended a mass meeting ‘Tuesday night, addressed by former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of lllinois. He urged the election of Coolidge and Dawes. Judge Ernest Snow, the keynote speaker at today's conven- tion, advocated the abolition of the primary election system and a re- turn to the convention method of choosing candidates —ee and writes about the Paris Olympic games with great frankness. He declares there will be no' re- strictions on the invitations to the next Olympic games, and remarks that the Germans already have re- sumed their- place on the interna- tional committee. “Qur League of Nations is now complete,” the president of the com- mittee continues. “There never has been any question of sidetracking the Germans, nor has there been any plan of keeping off the program gymnastics, fencing and rowing.” ‘The baron says the superb organi- sation achieved in Parls by disin- terested and competent sportsmen ‘was weakened by the interference of bureaucratic politiclans and by mis- understandings furthered by the press, A THE EVENI NG STAR, WASHINGTON,;_D' C.,. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER ZIHLMAN MAY HEAD D. C. COMMITTEE Maryland Representative’s Interest in Capital Promises Fair Deal in House. With Represe: tive Stuart . Reed of West Virginia voluntarily retiring at the close of the present Congress, leaving the chairmanship the House District committee vacant nd with Representative Charles I3 [ s of Minnesota, who is chairman of the subcommittee on District appropria- tions of the House appropriations committee, defeated in the primaries, residents of the National Capital and thase outside who are interested in the upbuilding of the Capital are concerned as to who will be in charge of District legislation. There is no cause for alarm——but rather for gratification—because Rep- resentative Frederick N. Zihlman of Maryland, who has for eight years been successful in putting through many important pieces of legislation of advantage to the National Capital, seems lik to fill the vacanc as chairman of the legislative commit- tee having jurisdiction over District of Columbia measures. Zihiman Likely to Win. Representative Zihlman has renominated and is cxpected carry his district without serious oppos unusual record of achlevement He has been a member of Congress for eight vears and since the begin- ning of his first term he has at all times taken a deep interest in all matters affecting the District of Co- Tumbia. During the last session of the present Congress, owing to. the illness of Representative Reed, Mr. Zihlman served as acting chairman of the House committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia in addition to his duties as chairman of the committee on labor. District legislation never £ot better consideration in commit- tee and the House made a new ord in passing important measures During the <arly part of his first term, as a member of the Sixtyv-fifth Congree, Representative Zihlman's attention was called to the need for an additional water supply for the National Capital, inasmuch as the ex- | isting supply was close to the re- quirements and that the Govarnment departments were in danger of hav ing to shut down if 4 break shou'd come in the old water main Got Action on Preject. Representative Zihiman introdu and after careful hearings, was suc- which the appropriated $25.000 for purpose of making a survey of the | existing water supply, which resolu- tion was incorporated in and became a part of the Water Power Commis sion act. The investigation was made under the direction of the En- gineer torps of the United States Army, with Maj M. €. Tyler desig- nated to make the survey. Under the plans prepared by him, an ad- ditional conduit from Gireat Falls is now nearing completion The condition of roads leading from Washington into Maryland also occupied Representative Zihlman's at- tention, and he was active in securing appropriations for suburban roads, with the result that when the im- provements on Wisconsin avenue and Georgia avenue are money already having been appropri- ated—every suburban road now lead- ing into Maryland will be an im- proved highway. e Reprasentative Zihlman again took leadership in securing the passage of a bill providing reciprocity Maryland with respect to license tags for automobiles, and he fathered the gasoline tax law now in effect. As a result of this legislation more than 50,000 District cars which had never carried Maryland tags now have the opportunity” to use the more than 2,000 miles of modern highway of which Maryland boasts. Champion of Park System. Extension of the park svstem of the District of Columbia has always found Representative Zihlman a ready champion. He has contended that the National Capital is entitled | to a park system comparable to the capitals of other nations, and that it was false economy not to extend and eniarge the present system. He has favored the acquisition of the various tracts of land advocated by the City Park Commission, and advocated that the historical sites in Washington should be acquired and conneeted up. The public servants in the National Capital count this Maryland member as one of their best friends in Con- gress. He introduced and had passed legislation relating to the police and firemen's retirement act and the police and firemen's increase in salary bill, and was active in securing the pas- sage of the school teachers’ salary bill—which established a new classi- fied salary schedule for all these pub- lic workers, During the Sixty-seventh Congress Representative Zihlman introduced and had passed a bill creating a board of accountancy for the District. He is also father of scores of other meas- ures that have been passed and morc that are still pending. e LEWIS SAYS LOAFER IS BARRED AT G. W. U.

More severe practice of cert tured this morning's sixteenth annual convention National Association of Retall gists, at Convention Hall streets. In calling the druggists of the country to arms. after pointing out some of the alleged detrimental efforts of members of Congress, k. ( Brokmeyer, counsel. urged them to demand of their congressmen repre- sentation of the America npeople. The report of the legislative com- mittee, read by Frank T. Stone. also pointed to the alleged “sharp” prac- tices. particularly in connection with criticism of in Congress legislation session alleged in the fea- of the of the Drug- 5th and L the sn-called Cramton bill givimg the | prohibition unit full authority over enforcement, and without appeal to the commissioner of internal reve- | nue Phone Company Rapped. Criticism of the telephone panies in the matter of commissions allowed druggists for pay station service was contained in the report of the telephone committee, presented by Wilhelm Bodemann, and in discussion which followed. So important is the legislative sit- uation considered, so far as it con- cerns the druggists, that additional time is being allowed this afterncon for a full discussion and a threshing | out of the probiems involved. There never has been a time in American history when the pharma- cists of the country have been con- fronted with so many serious dangers affecting their liberty as citizens, Mr. Brokmever said. He attributed this condition to the indifference of the American people to the making and enforcement of their laws. Asserting that he was making no threats and was asking no favors, he said that ne was going to demand the rights of the druggists under the laws. and in so doing going to render a service to the American peopic. Wantx Bill Recalled. He urged his hearers to write im- mediately to their Senators demand- ing a recommittal of the Cramton bill to the Senate judiciary committes for a hearing. He pointed out that it was rushed through at the last min- ute under the plea that it was neces- sary to place the prohibition enforce- ment unit under the civil service If food should not be taxed med cine should not be taxed. said the re- port of the logi committee which pointed out that the tax on medicinal aleohol was retained b cause the argument that the repe encouraged bootiegzers “appealed to many members of the ways and means committee. which is ‘dry’ by a large majority. The National Associ- ation of Retail Druggists replied that cheaper aleohol would discourage ‘bootlegging. hecause the for ‘bootiegging’ is the high price of ‘bootleg’ whisky, made from alcohol The report went at length into the narcotic sitnation. pointing out that the enforcement of this 'aw should be divoresd from the prohibition en- forcement. One is prohibitory, while is regulatory, the report added. The report referred to the repeal of the so-called nuisance taxes, point- ing out that it saved $10,000.000 an- nually to the American people. After dealing at great length with the Cramton bill, the report said “Tt 1s now on the Senate calendar with a favorable report from the Senate judiciary committee, obtained in the closing days of the last sion of Congress throush sharp pra tice and without notice to the drug trade and pharmacy and all other in- terasts concerned.’ The report charged that the bill was really drawn by Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti- Saloon League, and said it was got- ten through the House because it was made a straight “wet” and “dry" issne. “The druggists are opposed only to the manner of enforcing the national prohibition art and not oppesed to the act itself. £ays the report All they ask is what the law itself sane tions—the use of alcohnl and other lquor for medicinal and industrial purposes. The Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue has seen fit to allow this: the National Prohibition Com- mission, under the influence of fa- natical prohibitionists. has not seen fit to do so. The Cramton bill elimi- nates the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. This is why the fanatical prohibitionists had the Cramton bill introduced and why they are moving heaven and earth to have it passed by Congress. Retailers’ Bloc Suggested. The American Congress does not represent the American people work for their welfare as a whole, but, under the bloc system, it rep- resents the welfare of the group of people, business, or otharwise, which sends them there. John W. Gamble, Omaha banker, told the druggists vesterday afternoon. He added that the retailers would have to work more with their legislators and get a bloc to protect them and work for them as woman suffragists. prohibi- tionists, big business and others had. ]j?"s, he said, are not made today with a consideration as to whether they are good for the people as a whole, but for a group. The Congress, he said, passes, principally, class legislation, and 1t is about time retail druggists began to organize and get some of it them- selves. Mr. Gamble was speaki methods of business today s com pared with 25 vears ago. He told the druggists that more and more they would have to operate small de- partment stores, and would have to adopt methods 'which would allow them to compete with big interests or go out of business. He gave examples of how they must Ro. out after business, citing cases in his own bank. Do things differently, he said, adding that some of the different things that his bank had done were so bad that they were | good. The retail druggist must find out more about his territory and his customers, and more and more must use the methods of the mail-order houses.
