WOMAN'S BUREAU BILL IS DELAYED Wrangle Between Underhill and Blanton Prevents Ac- tion on Police Measure. After each member of the special subcommittee of the House District committee appointed Wednesday, had made individual reports at the spe- sial meeting today on the proposal to give the Policewomen’s Bureau a permanent standing in law, further action was delayed until Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock. The meeting today, called especially to hear a report on this measure, was a wrangle between Representative Blanton of Texas, endeavoring to force an immediate favorable report on the bill, and Representative Under- hill of Massachusetts, striving to de- jay action until permanent legislation could be perfected £ Representative Underhill, as chair- man of the subcommittee, reported that a hearing had been held and a number of amendments proposed and accepted. He said that the presiding officer of the Senate committee had notifled proponents and opponents that all endments would be em- bodled in a new bill to be presented n the Senate, and that when this was printed all those who wanted to criti- cize the legislation would have an op- portunity. | Blanton Urges Report. i Representative Rlanton made a minority report urging that the bill ought to be reported today and he moved that the subcommittee be dis- charged and the bill reported. It was explalned that in the new Bl the section which proposed to ve the women's bureau independ- ence r: 1o major and superin- tendent had been amended so as to ake the heud of the women's bu- au “absolutely” submissive.

Representative Underhill declared that “there is too much snap legisla- tion, which Congr later regrets.” Representatives Beers of P vania, Gibson of Vermont and Stalker of New York, all of whom are mem- bers of the subcommittee, expressed themselves in sympathy with the leg- islation, but to vote to discharge the subcommittee or to bring the bill out before it had been duly considered. in view of their atti- tude.’ On motion of Representative Blanton, it was decided to give those interested the legislation an op- portunity 1dy the revised bill and to take it up at a special meeting of the House committee on Monday at 10:30 o'clock. | PROPOSAL IS FAVORED. in to st Witnesses Upheld Plan, But Some Changes Are Urged. Legislation designed to make the Woman's Bureau a permanent branch of the Police Department was ap- proved in principle by those who spoke at the hearing of the commis- | sfon_on public welfare legislation at the District Building yesterday after- noon. Some opposition tain features of the introduced in Ce ced to cer- bill as originally gress, but as the discussion prog changes were agreed to and the m ting closed with oxpressions of approval of the main objects sought to be accomplished by the measure, The most important amendment was proposed by Col. James S. Easb Smith, a member of the welfare com- mission. He urged that, instead of having Congress fix the detailed func- tions of policewomen In the bill, the District Commissioners be em- powered to fix the duties by regula- tion, s they w do for other Lranches of the Police Department, Seek to Preserve Bureau. Alan Johnstone, jr., of the American Social Hygieno spokes- nan for the propon the bill, agreed to the object sought by Col. ¥ by-Smith, but asked that he be lowed to ct wording of the amend Col. as v also proposed that th ection of the bill be 80 worded as to make certain that the Woman's Bureau would be a distinct umit, but at the same time an integral part of the Police Department.

Alexandria Mourns for Boy Fireman Helpless Since August 2 as Result of Fall George W halen Loses Fight for Life W hich Has Won Sympathy * of - People All Over Country. Mother at Bedside to Last. Alexandria’s firenouses were draped with mourning black today, and the firebells tolled a sad requiem for George Washington Whalen, the 16- year-old ‘baby” fireman, who suc cumbed in the Alexandria Hospital yesterday afternoon to injuries re- celved “in line of dut: Paralyzed from the walst down since the morning of August 2 last, when he fell through a hold of a blaz. ing ship on which he was fighting his first fire, the young fireman went to his death with the same courageous stolelsm that marked his long months of Intense suffering. The boy lapsed into a state of semi-consciousness Thursday and dled while his mother, who had been at his bedside almost constantly, had left for a few min- utes to eat her dinner in an adjoining room in the hospital. Sympathy Widespread. The pathetic case ot George Wash- ington Whalen had aroused the deep- est sympathy of Alexandria and its environs. Persons by the score came to visit him and offer words of cheer while pains racked his frail bod his brother firemen granted his every wish; the city furnished two nurses and a doctor. Even “Roxie” and U. 5. LOATH T0 GIVE ATTITUDE ON LOAN Officials Reluctant in Views About Sum Sought by France in Amertca. Washingten officals are showing a reluctance to indicate the atti- tude of the American Government toward plans of the French govern- ment to seek two new loans from banking Interests in this country which has raised expectation that they will be somewhat closely scrutinized when presented in more mature form. In their present status as disclosed in the announcement In the French Chamber of Deputies Thursday by Finance Minister Clementel that prom- ise of floating the two loans, ag- gregating $135,000,000, had been ob- tained in the United States, high offi- clals here have refused to comment on the French plans. In the position taken at the White House yesterday that at this stage there could be no declaration of Amerfcan governmental attitude, it was clearly Indicated that the mat- ter had not yet advanced to & point where it called for the usual gov- ernmental advice in the case of for- elgn requests for loans. Whether the reserved attitude of offi Is on the question was to be taken as giving any weight to recent hints, entirely without official color, that the status of the French debt to the United States might be con- sidered in connection with the ap- proval of any private loans sought by that government was a matter of speculation. B GERMANS AND FHéfiCH REACH TRADE ACCORD By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, February 21.—The basis for a commercial pact between France and Germany was reached today by Herr Trendelenburg, heading the Ger-' man negotiators, and Minister of Commerce Raynaldy for France. The accord was based on the prin- ciple of the mutual concession of the minimum tariff on special articles particularly interesting the two coun- tries. Fear was expressed, however, that the German delegation in agreeing to a limited application of the mimimum German tariff had gone beyond the instructions of its government. Indians to Get $15,000.

He cited an Instance in which he said that during a rald on a hotel a mar- ried woman was detained because she looked young. He also said that an attempt had been made by the wom- an’s bureau to interfere with a young woman at a dance, and it was found that the young woman was dancing with her father. Another member of the committee sald that he person- ally stopped a member of the bureau from Interfering with a young man who had his arm-around the shoulder of his fiancee on a street car. “We have faith in the present head of the Police Department, and he should be held responsible,” said Mr. O'Brien, who sald that the provision of the bill giving the bureau the right to detain persons without a warrant had already been held unconstitu- tional when the vagrancy law was attacked. Dr. Custis also charged Mrs. Van Winkle with being undisciplined. Fear was expressed that the provi- sions of the bill would allow the members of the bureau to enter private homes. o “his gang” in the Capitol Theater in New York heard of his condition and Dbroadcast several selections especially for the boy one Sunday night recently, which he heard on his radlo set. Just prior to his death Director of Public Safety Paul Mor- ton and Assistant Fire Chief James M Duncan, jr, went to the hospital and handed his mother a check for $630.87—money raised by .his com- panions in the fire department by popular subscription and athletic con- tests.

Dr. J. B. G. Custis charged that the bill was an attempt to folst some- thiug on the people of the District “when they don't want it” He charged Mrs. Van Winkle with being a Freudian, and declared that he per- sonally had heard her state that no orime was committed by any woman over 14 except a sex crime.

The| Public yesterday filed Utllitles Commission in District' Supreme Court a motion to dismiss the petition | of former Corporation Counsel Con- rad H. Syme in which he asked for approximately $44,000 out of the im- pounded fund of the Potomac tric Power Company for the legal services he rendered the public in the electric light litigation. Francis H. Stephens, counsel for the commission, based the motion to dis- miss principally on the ground that Mr. Syme failed to set forth any con- tract or agreement made with the numerous consumers of electrical energy who are entitled to the re- fund mentioned. Charges Failure to Give Names. It is further set forth by Mr. Ste- phens that Mr. Syme failed to give the names of 150 consumers of elec- tricity whom, he said in his petition, retained him in the case. The next de- velopment will be a hearng on the motion to dismlss. Mr. Syme was corporation counsel when the court fight between the commission and the power company over electric light rates began in 1917. Several years ago Mr. Syme resigned from the District service, but was retained as special counsel until Con- gress discontinued the appropriation for such speclal service. The contentlon of Mr. Syme is that following that development consum- ers contributed to a fund to retain him In the case and that, therefore, hé is entitled to a fee out of the $3,000,000, which is to be returned to the users of electricity as a result of the settlement reached in the c 17 BODIES FOUND IN MINE DISASTER; 34 STILL TRAPPED (Continued from First Page.) had to be carrled out. Cecil, whose body was one of the first recovered, was a former Purdue University stu- dent. He had left that {nstitution and engaged ln mining with the in- tention of getting married. Friends said his engagement to a young woman at Dugger, Ind., had recently been announced. Squeeze May Have Been Cause. Miners from all parts of the south- ern Indlana coal field began arriv- ing to to get a glimpse of the { mine. One theory advanced as a cause for the explosion, was that “squeeze” occurred, shattering tim- bers t supported the walls and releasing a gas pocket. The mine “squeeze,” it was explained, was sim liar to that which blocked the opening through which rescue workers first made thelr way to Floyd Collins in the early days of his imprisonment in Sand Cave, at Cave City, Ky. James Black, & rescue worker, said braces in the entry In which most of the miners met death were twisted and shattered. < The mine was ons of tha most steadily operated shafts in this com- munity. It has had few shutdowns in recent years, company officers said Regular employment was afforded its employes, and many of them were home owners or were purchasing home. The mine pay roll carried 1i7 names. RED CROSS SENDS AID. Relief Director Ordered to Sullivan and Co-Operation Is Pledged. Chairman Payne of the American Red Cross today sent a Red Cross director to the scene of the mine disaster at Sullivan, Ind., and tele- graphed Gov. Jackson offering what- ever assistance Is necded. Judge Payne's telegram Jackson was as follows: “Extend the sympathy American Red Cross to in the Sullivan mine explosion. Have authorized W. S. Nesbit, chairman of the Sullivan Red Cross Chapter, to expend funds for emergency relief. Eugene Foster of Indianapolls is now at Sullivan representing the Na- tional Red Cross until the arrival tomorrow of Henry M. Baker, Red Cross national director of disaster relief, who will offer the services of the American Red Cross as the re- et agency.” Director ~ Baker left Washington this afternoon for Sullivan, and im- medlately upon his arrival will place the trained disaster relief organization of ‘the American Red Cross at the disposal of the State. Should this ofter be’ accepted, Baker will have within - easy reach expert rellef workers in sufficient numbers to handle the situation adequately. The Red Cross has been designated as the official rellef organization following all major disasters in recent years. Meanwhile, telegrams recelved this morning at national headquarters of the Red Cross from its Sullivan chapter state that it has mobilized Red Csoss nurses and volunteer re- serves to work at the mouth of the mine. A tent canteen and first-aid station already have been erected at the mine to attend the injured and provide hot food and stimulants to the rescuers.
