4 VOIGE IN CONGRESS Senator Ball Proposes Plan to Give Capital Immediate Representation. Senator L. Heisler Ball, a luncheon at the Women's City vesterday, advocated the presenta- tion of a_resolution to Congress giv- ing the District the right to elect a delegate to either House instend of waiting for the passage of the consti- tutional amendment which is now be- fore Congress. His desire for this apparently smaller favor for the clty, which he has championed during his entire term in the Senate, was ex- plained by the statement that he con- sidered immediate representation ary, and that ratification of a itutional amendment by the various States would only prolong the wait which the District has made for adequate representation Senator Ball considers that the need for immediate representation is best demonstrated by a review of the his- tory of the financial arrangements which Congress has made for the Dis- trict. In 1887, when the present form of government was practically es- tablished, the 50- nancial arrange- ment was made: a few yvears ago the proportion was chanzed to £0-40; the past two years a lump sum has been allowed. Tt is Senator Ball's opinion that if this last system is to continve the District should be allowed to say how much it will d how it will spend the money h it does raise. Committee in Suggested. speaking at Club ise w nce even that step cannot be taken at this session of Congress’” seid Senator Ball, “you should through vour various clvic associations reach the budget officer. An appointment of two delegates from each assocla- tion to meet in council and to ciect from that body committes of three whose one duty it would be to Vi and consult with the budget officer in the interests of the District seems to me a proper solution. The District Commissioners cannot ask for more than the budget calls for; Congress can give more, but State interests i terfere with such additions; If you are to get a semblance of fair play, you should institute such a committee.” As the luncheon at which Senator Ball was an honor guest was given by the public utilities section of the Women's City Club, the Senator spoke briefly of the work of the District committee had had in view during the present session was the estab- lishment® of a trafMc court and the merging of the two trolley systems of the city. More Appreciation Shown. Senator Ball concluded his talk with the opinion that Congress Is waking up to the fact that Wash- ington is no longer a little city of 100,000, but that it is now among the larger cities with problems of Its own to which its citizens will soon be given the right and the oppor- tunity to attend. Jesse C. Suter, president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations. expressed regret that Senator Ball will soon be leaving the Senate. He paid tribute to the Senator's work with the statement that he had taken part in constructive measures which accomplish ko much more than the Lysterical criticlsm to which bad situations in Washington are often subjected. Mrs. John Lorenz Steele presided as chairman of the public utilities committee of the Women's City Club. The other members of the committee who assi“ted in the arrangements were Mrs. Frank Hiram Snell, Mrs. May P. Lightfoot, M. T. Morse, Mrs. Leon Arnold, Mrs. Elmer F. Saul, Mrs. Robert J. Bates and Mrs Albert H. Putney. Mrs. Virginia White Speel, presi- dent of the District Federatéon of Women's Clubs, prefaced her re- marks on “Better Homes in America” with the statement that <he had within the past few years been con- verted to the bellef that District suffrage was the one way in which the probems of the District could be solved and pledged her own efforts and those of the federation for the securing of such a vote. “AIDA” IS ANNOUNCED BY ALBION, MARCH 3 All-American Stars to Assist Wash- ington Opera Company at New Auditorium.

By Radio to The, Star and New York World. BERLIN, February 7.—The Kalser has won the first action brought by him against the Prussian state to re- cover the possession of Hohenzollern Properties wrested from him during the revolutions following the armi- stice. The District Court at Kotthus has given him full ownership of two great country places, Mittweise and Skuhlem, which, with their respective villages, schools and churches, have been in the hands of the Prussian finance ministry for the last five years. According to the decision of the present government, Prussia has not the right to confiscate, on the ground that the property was formerly ownad by the Imperial crown estate, and may be regarded by the Hohen- sollerns as a family heirloom. The ropublic’s claim to Mittweise and Skuhlem was considered eption- ally strong. Its defeat in this inftial action consequently foreshadows dicial victory all along the line for the tormer Kalner, and restorati the Hohenzollerns of realty w hundredw of mil) of marks.

THE ' SUNDAY CARABAOS RECALL ISLAND WAR DAYS Hear Stirring Assurances America Will Never Aban- don Means of Defense. Harking back to the days when Aguinaldo, Philippine {nsurgent, led soldlers of the United States a merry chase through the jungles of Luzon, members of the Military Order of the Carabao gathered at their annual wallow” at Rauscher's last night and heard a member of the cabinet and mbers of Congress declare that ted States must never relin- quish {ts position of preparedness for war, although war is not the aim of this republic. Humorous and_light references to the state of the Nation blended with comic touches on the national issues of the day at the annual gathering of the officers who have served in the Philippines, celebrating the twenty- fifth anniversary of the founding of the Order of the Carabao. Declaring that it was “a pleasure to come into a company where the Heflins cease their heckling and the Caraways are at rest.” Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire drew round after round of applause from the military men gathered at the banquet when he declared that “no matter how many bob-haired, flat-chested old malds gather In conventlon in Washington this country does not intend to dis- arm.” addmg that the “time will never come when the greatest of the force which this Nation owns shall not be used.” He sald he hoped to see “some measure of salf-assertion on the part of the United States, with head erect and chest out” when it will meet all comers on any fleld.

He said he wants the Ameri can flag to serve as a protection to all American citizens, and added prayer that we might not have more war. Representative Nicholas Long- worth of Ohio, In a humorous speech, sald the United States should be pre- pared for war and replied to the hu- morous sallies of Senator Moses, who sald Mr. Longworth departed from past customs in Speakers of the House in that "he has no hair on his face or on his head.” Construction In Washington of a splendid and lasting memorial to the men who served in the Spanish- American War was urged by Col.

The dinner was the twenty-fifth an- niversary of the founding of the Or- der of the Carabao, its silver anniver- sary, as Col. Joseph M. Heller, chair- man’ of the dinner committee, ex- plained. Admiral Edward W. Eberle, U. S. N.. paramount carabao, who was crowned with the insignia of his office, explained that 25 vears ago a small group of officers, seven thou- sand miles from the United States, after the most severe hardships over the jungle-covered trails of Luzon, in the midst of the dangers of guerrilla war and pestilence and disease, gath- ered in fun at the Army and Navy Club at Manila and organized “The Military Order of the Carabao.” They did not reallze then that the order would prosper and would grow into a strong organization made up of a great proportion of the men who h, words Col served in the Philippines, until today it represents a distinctive organiza- tion, unparalleled in the annals of the, nation. Col. Heller was chairman of the dinner committee, while Capt. David M. Addison, U. S. N., served as chair- man of the entertainment committee.

NOME, Alaska, February 7.—With 650,000 units of diphtheria antitoxin expected here next week by dog team and airplane, and with 1,480,000 units more to follow by regular mushing of the United States mail, George S Maynard, mayor of Nome, expressed hope today that safety was in sight Most of the 30 persons il with diphtheria in the epidemic that ap- peared late in January and took six lives, were showing improvement, re- ports last night informed the Nome board of health. At the close of the regular nightly meeting of the board no new cases of diphtheria had been reported since Tuesday. “A telegram from Gov. Bone has in- formed me that a conslgnment of antitoxin that left Juneau may be re- layed by special dog teams from Tan- ana if necessary.” sald the mayor. “Dr. Curtis Welch, who is in charge of the situation here for the United States public health service, has been authorized by the governor to. hire special dog teams to go out and re- ceive this serum at Oldwoman, near the shore of Nortom Sound, opposite Nome, or at Kaltag, on the Yuyon River “With 620000 units expected to leave Fairbanks or Nenana by air- plane tomorrow, and the 30,000 units from Juneau leaying Tanana by speedy mushing about Tuesday, special efforts could be disconinued, because we would then have so much serum that all needs could be met by regular mail dog team transporta- tion.” FLYERS READY FOR DASH.

FATRBANKS, Alaska, February An airplane to carry antitexin to Nome, will leave here Monday in- stead of tomorrow, it was announced today. The antitoxin which left Seward today on the Alaska Rallroad is not expected here until late tomorrow. To compensate for the time lost b: delaying departure a day, Roy 8. Darling and Ralph H.

Ruby and Kaltag are on the Yukon River. The distance to Nome from Fair- banks by the route the flyers are to take was put at 917 miles, being 600 miles to Kaltag and 317 from there to Nome overland from the Yukon Val- ley and across Norton Sound.

Not a few Senators, it appear are desirous of allowing the rent con mission to die, and thut there be return to the law of supply and 4 mand to e housing situatio Copeland to Press Bi of 1 the Senats the Senate The bill is in charge Copeland of New York He will return to Washington tomo row and will seek to have it take > at the earliest opportunity. Su. 1 opportunity may not unt toward the close of the week, if the While tomorrow is District day the House, it is not expected the rer bill will be reached. The Distric committee is bent on getting action if possible, on the public welfare bil and the Great Falls water power bil other measures, before ti rent bill is taken up. Besides tomor- row, there is only one other District day in the House before adjournment For this reason, friends of the bill are talking of asking for a special ru to take the rent bill up at another time. It is believed that the bill can be passed in the House, if it can be brought to a vote, though with amend- ments, and the same is belleved to be true in the Senate. The great diffi- culty lies in reaching a vote befors the close of Congress. With the District committess of houses reporting the Blanton- bill and ignoring tha Whaley bill providing for a perman- ent rent co: ion here, except that the powers of Congress to deal with the District particularly are invoked nd housing is declared to be affected with a public interest, all likelihood of favorable action at this time look- ing toward a permanent commiss appears to have vanished.
