Representative Gilbert, in reply to questions from Representative Bur- ton, explained that the vote from the District committee reporting the rent bill was given a tacit agreement that it would never be reached. Repre- sentative Blanton pointed out that the bill was voted out of the com- mittes by a seven-to-six vote.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, February 2; satisfying his passion for fox hunt- ing and compressing within the few weeks remaining before his overseas voyage enough engagements to keep a less active person busy for months, the Prince of Wales has been rushing about the country continously, dis- playing what the English have come to call real “American hustle.” Almost every day for a week he has spent part of the day or night in London and another part 100 or more miles away. To his ordinary activities he has added, since the King's illness, frequent trips to Buck- ingham Palace. He seems to think no more of traveling 200 miles a day in order to hunt the fox with some favorite pack than an enthusi- astic golfer does of journeying to 20 miles to play over a well ik course. Does Quick Change Act. Not long ago Wales journeyed Yorkshire and joined a hunt. While still in the erimson coat of the chase, with mud-spattered boots, he hurried to the Iroad station, caught a for London, changed into eve- ning dress during the 150-mile jour- ey and appeared spick-and-span at s the guest of hon- or, he delivered an address. Yesterday morning the prince rode | 150 miles to Rutlandshire, joined in fox hunt and returned to London in the evening. Taking only an| hour to dress, he drove to the festival male Orphan- ge at which he presided and made nother speech—the orphanage being | in need of funds as is usually the case with such institutions not pub- licly supported. This morning Wales was up bright and early and took another outward bound train, this time headed for Leicestershire, more than 100 miles to the north, where tonight he dines with 700 farmers and proposes the toast of “Leicestershire farmers and fox hunnns:" GIRLS ATHLETICS —What with ay HIT BY PRINCIPALS Intersectional and Post-Sea- son High School Contests Also Condemned. By the Associated Press CINCINNATI, Ohio, February Interscholastic athletic contests among high school girls and inter- sectional and post-season games be- tween high school teams were as- salled in the report of the committee on national high school athletics of the National Association of Sec- ondary School Principals adopted by the association. A heated debate preceded the accept- ance of the committee’s recommenda- tion. The report declared too stren- on the part of girls of high school age injurious to their health. It did not deal with inter- school contests. Affiliation of State high school athletic associations with the National Federation of State Interscholastic Athletic Associations was recommended In the report, which did not class State basket ball tourna- ments held during the regular season as post-season games.

PRESIDENT URGED TO VETO CONGRESS SALARY INCREASE (Continued from First age.) Other appropriations could not easily be opposed by Congress if its own pay were voted increased. Mr. Cool- idge hopes that the psychology of the country, which at the moment favors economy, will not be adversely affected by what Congress does. The House has added to the awk- wardness of the situation by the pro- posal that one of the deficiency bills now pending provide for an increase | in the salary of Representative Ever-| ett Sanders, who Is to become Presi- dent Coolidge's secretary after Maroh 4. Mr. Sanders begged the House to reject the proposal as a perso dx\ favor.

The Government departments are being asked to cut down on every kind of expense. Mr. Coolidge thinks members of Congress deserve an in- crease In pay, but he isn't at all sure that the rest of the eountry thinks so. (Copyright, 1925.) URGED TO VETO BILL. Many letters and telegrams are be- ing received at the White House from persons in various sections of the coun- try urging President Coolidge to veto or block the proposed increase of salary for Senators, Representatives and members of the cabinet These appeals are not confined to any special locality or to any one group or class of citizens. In a gen- eral w ppeals are all about the same. e senders of them. for the greater part, contend that while members of Congress and the cabinet may be entitled to pay this is not the time to do any boosting. They point out that the people at large are still suffering from the burdens of Federal, State and municipal taxa- tion and anticipating relief rather than adding burden There is considerable speculation in various qu rters here regarding the probable action of President Coolidge toward this legislatic Following his invariable rule, he has given no intimation as to his feelings in the matter or regarding the action he will take when the time comes. It is known that numerous of his callers have endeavored to solicit this in- formation from him, but without succe: When the salary increase bill ched the White House the President sent it at once, without 3 t, to Brig. Gen. Lord, director of the budget, to ke a study and a report. It has policy of President Coolidge always follow the recommendation made by the Budget Bureau in such matters, nd those who are close to him ex press themselves confidently today that if the Budget Bureau makes an adverse recommendatiod, the Presi- dent will unquestionably act accord- ingly Interest in Secretary's Pay. It also is interesting to many who are speculating in this matter to see what the President will do in the event the bill providing an increase of salary for the secretary to the President is finally passed and sent to him for his approval The legislative situation in the Senate at the present time was dis- sed during a conference at the White Housc today between Pres dent Coolidge and Senator, Cummi of Jowa, President pro tem of the Senate. The latter said after seeing the President that there is no mis- taking the seriousness of the legis- lative jam in the Senate, but he ex- pressed hope that a considerable por- tlon of the more important bills will succeed in getting through during the eleventh-hour rush.

HOUSE 0. K. SOUGHT ON RETIREMENT ACT, PASSED BY SENATE (Continued from First Page.) ence with members of the House to create a demand which wil’ force consideration of this measure before the close of the present session. The Stanfield bill liberalizing the retirement act was passed by the Sen- ate yesterday afternoon. Before passing the bill tife Senate amended it s0 as to make the age of voluntary retirement 65 years for the general run of Government em- ployes and 62 years for mechanics, laborers, city and rural letter car riers, post office clerks and railway postal clerks. The maximum annuity provided in the bill is $1,200. Under the present law it js $720. The age of voluntary retirement under existing law for the employes generally is 70 years. The galleries of the Senate were filled with employes and retired em- employes, who followed the discussion of the bill with Interest. When the presiding officer announced that the bill had been passed they broke into applause Age Limits Raised. An effort was made to reduce the age of voluntary retirement for the railway mall clerks and other speclal classes to 60 years of age, but this was beaten by a vote of 46 to 34 There was no roll call on the final passage of the Bl As originally reported to the Sen- ate, the bill fixed 63 and 58 years, re- spectively. as the ages of voluntary retirement after 30 vears of service The age limits adopted by the & were the result of a compromis was explained by Senator Stanfield, made with Senator Smoot of Utah and other members of the committee on_eivil service Under the terms of the bill passed yesterday, the contribbution by the em- ployes of the Government is fixed at 3% per cetn of their salaries, instead of per cent under the existing law. These contributions go into the fund from which the annuities are paid to the retired employes. Copeland for Lower Age.

He told the Senate the averago mortality age was considerably below 66. Senator Smoot of Utah, on the other hand, said that he had received many complaints that the ages of retirement were too low; that the employes don’t want to. retire so early; that they could not live on the annuities paid. Senator Sterling of South Dakota, pointed out that the bill proposed to give the employes the benefit of five year's earlier retirement with full compensation over the original plan, which fixed the age of retirement at 70 years. The bill provides that it shall be- come effective on the first day of the second month following its passage.
