He also is hopeful of going to New England, either for the Lexington-Concord celebration next month, or the exercises that will commemorate the 150th anni- versary of the battle of Bunker Hill. in June. Mr. Coolidge had planned to ac- cept the invitation of the late President Burton of the Univer- sity of Michigan, who placed him in nomination for the presidency at Cleveland, to attend commence- .nent exercises at Ann Arbor in June, but it was said that while Mr. Burton's death might not prove a determining factor, the v'resident might find himself un- able to make the trip. It was also stated at the White House that the President could give no en- couragement to those urging him to make a trip in the near future to Texas. \FEW SEEKING POST OF TRAFFIC DIRECTOR Only Two Members of Police De- partment Have Announced Candidacy for Position. Engineer Commissioner Bell today expressed surprise at the limited number of applications thus far for the position of director of traffic.

The Commissioners have indicated several times during the past few days that they Intend to move care- fully in the selection of a director in order to get the best man avall- able for the place. They regard the position as one of great importance and they have let it be known that they will not be hasty in making a choice. KING HITS INTOLERANCE IN SPEECH AT SYNAGOGUE| Religious Training Is Necessary to Life of Nation, Senator Tells Meeting. Seven hundred and fifty persons at- tending the young people’s meeting at the Sixth Street Synagogue last night heard Senator Willam H. King &f Utah denounce relizious intolerance as a curse of mankind. Senator Kinz averred that no nation would progress unless its people be- lMeve in a Supreme Being and follow religious instincts in their own man- ner, but without endeavoring to im- press such belief upon others not vol- untarily wishing to embrace them. He also predicted the downfall of bo'shavism, because of the intolerance practiced toward religion in Soviet Russia, speaking from the experience of a personal trip to that country. In so far as religious education is coucerned, he said, it was one of the fundamentals of the structure of the American Republic. Senator King was introduced by Rabpi Louls J. Schwetel. The serv- jcer were conducied by Cantor Novick. INJURIES PR-OVE FATAL. Georgia Educator Dies After As- sault by Men He Gave “Lift.” EATONTON, Ga., March 7.—W. C.

Three men held in jail in Atlanta GREATEST TRAFFIC | dent's stand, which cost $7,500, THE EVENING DLEY DECLARES in front of hotels, theaters and audi- toriums and tie up traffic behind them while passengers fish around In their pockets or pocketbooks for their fare and a tip—maybe. In the latter case the fault is as much the passengers as the drivers, probably entirely so, Headley de- clares. Passengers of a taxi should have thelr money handy when the cab stops to let them off, and the driver should have plenty of change on hand. An outstanding example of how taxis and their passengers may combine to congest trafic occurred on' the night of the opening opera at the Washington Auditorium, the inspector states. Automobiles were.plled up for blocks to the rear in an almost hopéless tangle because of the delays caused by taxis at the E street entrance. Regulating Taxis. Since that time the police have been paying special attention to the taxi problem and have adopted several new regulations restricting thelr op- erations. A noticeable Improvement has resulted. Inspector Headley has discovered that one reason for the great increase in the taxi business is the growing custom among car owners of leaving their cars in the garage rather than undertake to find parking space close to their destination and calling a taxicab instead. This condition Is es- peclally widespread on rainy days. In addition to these problems con- fronting the police there is the ever- present diplomatic and congressional immunity phases with which to deal. The diplomatic angle is an old one. It involves frequent chases by motor cops after speeding limousines, only to have that familiar “Do you know who I am?’ thrust at them by the ambassador extraordinary and pleni- potentiary from Neuralgia. The con- gressional immunity rule Was only recently adopted. It permits mem- bers of Congress to park as long as they want to when transacting Gov- ernment business. Every exception to the regulations, every change in the old rulss, means added trouble for the police. : And another wrinkle in Inspector Headley's forehead. §16,800 INAUGURAL FUND 70 GO BACK Lynn Uses Only $23,196 of $40,000 Provided for Pres- ident’s Induction. David Lynn, architect of the Capi- tol, executive officer for the joint congressional committes that made arrangements for the inauguration of President Coolidge at the Capitol, is ready to turn back to the Federal Treasury $16,803.40 of the appropria- tion of $40,000 made for the inaugu- ral expenses by Congress, thus carry- ing out the Coolldge policy of economy. In spite of the fact that public com- ment declares the Capitol inaugural arrangements which inducted Presi- dent Coolldge into office weére the most impressive, dignified and beauti- ful of all previous like occasions, the inaugural committee spent only $23,- 196.60. Of this the main stand was erected under contract at a cost of $15,994. Extra stands for photog- rapher, employes, étc., with necessary barricades to prevent serious damage by the big crowd, cost $2,600. Miscel- laneous expenses for painting, watch- men, decorations and architect's serv- ices amounted to $1,602.60. The ser- goant-at-arms spent $3,000 for print- ing, transportation of marines, hire of automobliles, police, ushers, éte. By way of comparison, the Harding inauguration at the Capitol cost $19.- 180.51, in spite of the fact that the telephone company paid for the Presi- 50 that the cost really ran up to $26.- 690.51. The second Wilson indugural, in 1917, cost $32.118.60 out of an ap- propriation of $35,000. Legends Explai Although the public has commended the inaugural arrangements at the Capital, some meticulous observers, however, were puzzled to know the sig- nificance of several large emblematic features spread across the balustrade of the President’s panel. Mounted on the balusters, and equally spaced across the entire length of the stand, were five Jarge shields of the United States, emblazoned with the national and set off with a foreground of fresh green garlands. Directly above every one of these shields hung a smaller shield on which was painted in gold, respectively, reading from left to right, or from south to north, the letters HR, L, E, J and 8. These let- ters wére symbolic of the thrés prin- cipal branches of the Federal Govern- ment and the two houses of Congress, under whose jurisdiction the inaugural arrangements were conducted. At theé south end of the stand the lstters HR typified the House of Represéntatives at the south end of the Capitol. At the north end of the stand S typified the United States Senate at the north end of the Capitol. Government Divisions Marked. Directly under the Chisf Executive as he took his oath of office the letter E was typical of the executive branch of the Government. L on the left of the presidential box, and J on the right, wers typical of the legislative and judi- clary, the representatives of which were seated, respectively, in thece locations. Above all, in the center of the cornice, was a carved plaster cast of the great seal of the United States. David Lynn, architect of the Capitol, assisted by Mr. Pierson, designed the stand. The decorations, flags, plants, flowers and symbolic emblems were con ceived and executed by Frederick D. Owen, engineer and architect in the Of- fice of Public Buiidings and Grounds of the War Department, also chairman committee on the White House stand and “court of honor.” MRS.

HUGHES DEPARTS ALMOST IN SILENGE Ex-Secretary Leaves With- out Any Official Plaudits for His High Service. BY DAVID LAWRENC Charles Evans Hughes has left pub- lic life almost as Inconspicuously as any officlal of recent vears—singled out nelther by President Coolidge nor | Congress for honors in recognition of service done It is true the undersecretaries, bu- reau chiefs and cabinet colleagues to- gether with the entire diplomatic corps went to the station to say “good-bye,” but there stands no tes- timonial from the Government except the generalitles of the letters ex- changed at the time of his resigna- tion more than a month ago. In the hurry and bustle of the in- auguration the departure of one of the most prominent figures in Amer- ican public life went unsung and, one might say, unrewsrded. Many men recelved the distinguished service croas for work done at their desks in Washington during the war. Charles Evans Hughes has been concentrated for four years on one of the most| complicated tasks that ever faced a Secretary of State. Were it not for the ingenuity of Mr. Hughes the “iso- lationists” in the Senate would never have beén brought Into line in the making of a treaty of peacé with Germany. And wera it not for Mr. Hughes, the United States would not now be co-operatinz with the League of Nations nor two Presidents so definitely committed to the adharence of the United States to the Court protocol. Halled by Preas. The retiring Secretary has not sat- isfled all classes, but he has steered what séemed to two Presidents the best forelgn policy possible under the peculisr circumstances existing in the United States Senate So far as the press and the out- side world are concerned. it can be sald without much dissent from any quarter that Charles Evans was frank with the néwspaper men and told them in his almost daily conferences mora facts about the foreign policy of the American Gov- ernment than they ever secured through any other channel before. Mr. Hughes had one more faculty that was rare] His expositions were luch. The newspaper men listened often to an argument that might have been directed to the Supreme Court or a world tribunal. And oc- casionally his hearers were so im- pressed that they did the unprecented | thing—they broke out into applause. Retires With Praise Unsang. Mr. Hughes idea was that in argu- | ing bafore the group of newspaper men he was really arguing with the American people. He never con- sciously mis'ed a correspondent. He trequently perceived by their ques- tions that they might inadvertently misrepresent a situation unless he elucidatad. Mr. Hughes' policies have baen at times the subject of severe criticiam, but there never has been any doubt what they were. He guided two Presidents. He worked day and night at his job. Ha was to the minds of most people in Washington a great Secretary of State. Yet he goes back to the practice of law without anything being said from the highest places in the Go ernment and with no badge of honor, except the satlsfaction to himself of consclentious ssrvice for the public welfare (Copyright, 1925.)

An estimate for the erection of a building in the downtown section to house Police Court, police headquar- térs, the detective burean and all agencies dealing with t should be considersd when the next budget Is being drafted this Summer, Engineer Commissioner Bell declared toda; The idea of having a centrally lo- cated police bullding has been in the minds of city officials for a number of vears, but it has been revived and strengthened by the fact that the personnel of the Police Court is about 10 be increased to handle traffic cases. Authorizes Additional Judges, Congress has just authorized ap- pointment of two more Police Court Jjudges, one additional assistant cor- poration counsel, two clerks and two bailiffs. Col. Bell has instructed Maj. W. H. Holcombe, assistant Engineer Com- missioner. to co-operate with court officials in providing room for the new judges in the existing court building at Sixth and D stréets. At the same time, he believes the city authorities should turn their at- tention again to the need for a build- ing in which the various bureaus dealing with traic and police administration could be centralized. The Engjneer Commissioner point- ed out that such a structure not only would simplify administration of police and trafic matters, but would at the same time relieve congestion of office space in the District Bullding. dvantages Crted. At the present time automobile operating permits are issued in the Federal Government bullding at Fourteen and E streets, while auto- moblle tags are sold in the District building. In a central structure these two related agencies could be brought together. Col. Bell sald he belleved it would be well for Municipal Architect Harris to prepare an estimate of the cost of a central police and traffic building for consideration by the Commissioners in the next budget.

Friends and {relatives say Pappas seldom had more | than $130 on his person, money need- | ed in the transaction of business. i Believe There Is More Money. | William Pappas. the sick brother, believes Tom had more than (he‘ amount indicated in the bankbook and suggests he may have had some in a safe-deposit box. If there is, police believe it will develop when the court is called upon to settle the estate. It was during an examination of the third floor of the Seventh street house last night by Lieut. Cornwell, Detectives Barbee and Bremmerman and Policemen Poole and Salkeld, al members of Capt. Bean's second pre- cinct command, that the bankbook was found. Willlam J. Tappy, 64- vear-old cook and roommate of Pappas, detained as a material wit- ness, is perfectly willing to remain in police custody to assist in solving the mystery, being the one wit- ness upon whom the police depend to identify the slaver. Police this morning said they were desirous of apprehending Jesse Green, colored, for whose arrést a warrant was issued on complaint of Pappas, wanting to question him and have Tappy tell it he is the man who appeared in his room after his em- ployer had been slain. Seek Mam Sént on Errand. The particular Jesse Green wanted, not the one arrested yesterday, is said to have been employed in the lunchroom some time ago. Pappas alleged that he sent Green with a coffee urn to be repaired and that he falled to account for $§ entrusted to him. It is said by the police that Green was seen on enth street two or three days before Pappas was slain, but they have not succeeded In_locating him since then. Several persons have been arrested in connection with the investigation of the mystery, but detectives de- clared none of them is suspected of being the slayer. Several former employes of Pappas have been ques- tioned, one a colored woman, who, it is stated, sald she knew the Jesse Green, who may be able to throw light on the affair. Blood-Stained Shirt Clme. It is thought by detectives that the torn and blood-stained shirt discarded in the murder room by the slayer will play an important part in the trial of the slayer should he be appre- hended. The torn condition of the garment convinces the detectives that Pappas put up a desperate struggle during the time his slayer was welld- the heavy automobile wrench. The shirt, apparently worn several days, had never been washed. It is thought probable that the garment was purchased In a store on upper ‘Seventh street, and it s being ex- hibited to such dealers with a view of. having one of them furnish nfor- mation that will lead to establishing the identity of its purchaser. Coroner Nevitt swore in a jury over the body at. the morgue today and will conduct an inquest after the police have additional time to solve the murder mystery. It Is probable that funeral services for Pappas will be held Monday or Tuesday aftérnoon in the Greek Orthodox Church of Sts. Constantine and Helen, Sixth and C streets southwest.
