" HRBY SUCCESSIR STIL UNNANED Treasury May Leave Post " . Vacant for Time if Bureau Head Leaves. * Prospects today were that if Maj. Wallace W. Kirby retires from his assignment as director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing next Mo day, when a special act of Congress wuthorizing his appointment there, ex- plires, the Treasury will not have a mew director ready to take his place. The supposition is that the bureau probably would run along on the new system, which Maj. Kirby and Tres- ery officials have established, with its board of directors, minus Maj. Kirby, tn_control. There are now three assistant di- rvactors, to whom has been detailed all the principal work of the bureau. tant Secretary of the Treasury Charies S. Dewey is chairman of the board of dir-ctors, which includes the three assistant directors, Mr. Dewey’s executive assistant and the chairman of the planning unit at the bureau. Although the Treasury may have Leen glving some attention to the possibility of ving to_appoint a new man to succeed Maj. Kirby, there were no indications today that he would be appointed and be ready to assume office by next Monday, when Maj. Kirby will return to the Army, unless Congress grants an extension of the act. The possibility of Con- zress granting such an extension by Monday scems remote. - The National Lumber Exporters’ As- sociation is preparing for its annual onvention in Baltimore, January 28- SPECIAL KOTICES.

SUBCOMMITTEE (Continued from First Page.) first, development by cheaper money than private capital would be able to securs for that purpose, and, second, marketing of the surplus powe f the Government will accept the plans suggested by me.” said Mr. Martin, “building the dams and lease them, and allow private capital to build and equip the power houses and distribute the curfent, paying for the capital invested by the Government 4 per cent on the amount invested, amortizing the cost on a 100-year basis instead of 30 years, as suggested by Maj. Tyler, the cost-can be amended to read as follows: Interest, $444,210; depreciation, $287,000; sinking fund, $531,000, making a total saving of 262.210. “This results in a total annual cost for power of $3,272,593,” Mr. Martin sald, “as against Maj. Tyler's figures of $4,534,803. Conservative figures based on this change of plan justify the assertion that power from these dems can be brought into the sub- station of about one-half of the cost of the same amount of power, if equivalent generating capacity were installed in steam plants in the Dis- trict.” He told the committee that authority should be given to the lessee to develop the power at the contem- plated storsge dams, if development at any of these points was. later deemed advisable. \ He suggested that Congress should authorize the details of the leaso to be worked out by the Federal Power Commission in conference with the lessees in advance of construction, and that no money should be spent until the lease is made with a respon- sible party. Key in Another Movc. Mr. Martin also reminded the com- mittee that the superpower plan sug- gested as a result of a study cover- ing the pooling of the power of the Atlantic seaboard north of Wash ington, as proposed by the North- eastern Superpower Committee, of which Secretary Hoover is chairman, assumed the development of the waterpower on the Potomac River at Great Falls as one of its key projects. Mr. Martin emphasized that accord- ing to the best figuring by Maj. Tyler and the interests that he himself represents, electric current could be turnished in Washington, if this hydroelectric development is carried out, at a considerable decrease under the present steam-power cost, includ- ing capital charges.

The District Commissioners today appointed 69 of the squad of new po- licemen authorized in the deficiency bill just approved by Congress to glve ‘all members of the force one day off & week. Although these new men will go on duty next week, it will not be po sible for the Commissioners to start the day off until the additional 96 men are obtained. Every effort is being made by the department to broadcast the fact that these posi- tions are avallable in the hope of getting the necessary quota as soon as possible, When the day-oft provision starts there will be no ectual increase in the actual number of policemen on the streets as the result of these new appointments. However, should a de- 1ay of one or two months ensue be- fore the remainder of the positions are filled the 69 men appointed tod will have the effect of temporarily in- creasing the number of men on duty. Order Christmas Trees. The District _Commissioners today authorized the Board of Education to spend $111 to purhase Christmas trees for celebrations in the kinder- gartens of the white and colored schools. They also at board session de- cided to notify the Senate District committee that they see no objection to the passage of a pending bill to provide for the removal of the gates at the entrance to West Executive avenue.

The straln of a sleepless night and anxiety over Gompers’ condition visibly affected his secretary. © SPEEDY micovnr SEEN. San Antonio Hears Favorable Re- port From Physician. By the Amociated Press. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., December 12.—Samuel Gompers Is greatly im- proted and every hope is held out for his speedy recovery, a telephone message from the Light's correspond- ent at Laredo stated toda; Dr. W. F. Cockrell, Mr. Gomper: physician, informed the Ligh respondent that Mr. Gompers' pulse and he is greatly improved. = Improve- ment in his condition was noted Im- mediately after the high altitude of Mexico City was left, Dr. Cockrell sald. He smald Mr. Gompers will re- main in San Antqnio several days. Reservations have been made for him at_the St. Anthony Hotel. Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, told the correspondent that Mr. Gompers suffered a fainting spell Tuesday, but regained his strength and continued active until Wednesday, when he again fainted. He was placed aboard a train and the dash for the lower altitude began._ A. F. OF L. GETS REPORT. The following telegram, sent from Laredo, Tex., at 9:25 a.m. today, was recelved at American Federation of Labor headquarters,from a member of President Gompers' party: “Rresident Gompers passed through the night better than expected. His condition is slightly improved. His temperature is normal.” PERIL IN RELATIONS OF UNITED STATES AND JAPAN FULLY KNOWN (Continued from First Page.) had their way there would not be & Japanese-American problem today. They know that a sincere effort was made to persuade Congress to leave this matter of forelgn relations to be adjudicated by diplomacy's quiet hand.

Would a treaty be made with Japan which would take care of the points in dispute dnd thereby super- sede the act of Congress when rati- fled- by two-thirds of the United States Senate? Or would an effort be made to get a straight-out repeal of the _troublesome provision with a to Congress that another s agreement be negotiated whereby absolute exclusion. could be secured? Neither one of these courses seems for. the moment in contemplation. There is no dispositon to appeal to Congress to give up the assertion of its rights simply to establish the for- elgn policy of the country on a bet- ter basis. Eleven-years ago Congres to repeal a law which purely within its rights domestic legislation, namely the law governing tolls at the Panama Canal, but the Chief Executive pleaded for repeal in the interest of international amity, and Republicans voted with Demo- crats to grant that request. But the same reasoning, which causes hesitation to ask Congress to repeal the provision of the law passed last Spring with respect to Japanese immigration, ministration in Washington to the suggestion that m new treaty be ne- gotiated to the ~ existing law. It is, namely, that Congress is not yet in the mood to reverse itse!
