Already 83 per cent of the dues for the vear have been paid, the highest percentaze since the league's foundation, while 000,000 Swiss francs for dues in arrears have been recelved so that the treasury has on hand a considerable sum, enhanced by interest and favorable exchange.

THE EVENING MATTINGLY SIGNS FINK QUSTER ORDER struction of Higher Court in Tenant’s Case. tobert E. Mattingly, judge of the Municipal Court, today signed a judg- ment of ouster agninst Jacob H. Fink, tenant of 1114 Morgan street, whose eviction is sought by Mrs. Frances F. Peck, the owner of the property. In signing the order of ouster Judge Mattingly followed a suggestion of the Court of Appeals announced from the bench by Chief Justice Martin that he should have followed the opinion of the appellate court filed last December. The action of the judge puts an end to the mandamus proceeding started against him by Mrs. Peck through ‘Attorney Louis Ottenberg. Attorneys John L. E. Hilton Jacks=on and Krupsaw, representing the tenant, will probably ask the Court of Appeals to allow a writ of error from the judgment rendered today in order that an appeal may be pros- ecuted to the United States Supreme Court to have determined the ques- tion of the passing of the housing emergency. It was In this case that Justice Robb held that the emergency had passed and that there existed no constitutional basis for the passage of the act extending the life of the Rent Commission until May 22 Exercised His Discretion. When the mandate of the appellate court had been sent to Judge Mat- tingly counsel for the owner asked for ‘a summary judgment of eviction, the judge declined to grant the request, holding that he would exer- cice his judicial discretion and require proo’ of the cate before rendering Jjudgment. Attorney Ottenberg then complained to the Court of Appeal and ~that tribunal issued a ru Judge Mattingly to show cause why he should not be compelled to grant the judgment. Counsel for the judge pleaded the exercise of discretion, but the Court of Appeals, through Chief Justice Martin, declared there was nothing on which the court could exercize discretion after the mandate of the higher court had been received. Un- less the judgment of eviction were signed within a reasonabl etime, the chief justice said, a mandamus would be issued against Mattingly. HUGE HIGH SCHOOL WINNING SUPPORT (Continued from First Page.) incorporated in the first plant all the educational facilities now estab- lished in several high schools at dif- points in Washington, cen- tralizing all the senior high school education in one great plant. To such a plant would go pupils from all the junior high schools of the city “It would. not scrap the existing high school facilities of Washington, but by using the present junior and senior high schools all as junior high schools they would act as feeders to the master high school plant. And by planning ahead such a plant could be sufficiently exten- sive to take care of the growing needs of the National Capital for many vears to come.” Sees Many A Mr. Davis laid stress on the “won- derful opportunity” Washington has to establish a high school system to serve as a world model, and going into details, suggested a national to be held in the proposed high school stadium ye: 3 h visitors would be attracted from all over the United State Business in Washington would als be greatly benefited by the establish- ment of such a plant, he said, to at- tract thousands of visitors here every year.

The concentration suggested at the proposed plant the possibility of énhancing the development of the normak schools here, which, he said, are greatly overcrowd- ed. Not only would academic courses, business courses and arts courses be of- fered, he declared, but the greatest technical and vocational high school plant in this country could be estab- lished in such a concentrated location as would be offered under the plan. Mr. Greenwood hoped the indorsement of Senator Capper would be given the project, adding that the Kansas Sena tor deserved much credit for the five- year building program embarked upon by school authorities of Washington and authorization of the expenditure of $19,000,000 to this end. “The National Capital ought to be a mecca for educa- tors and serve as a model for educa- tional facilities to all the world,” he added. Transportation No Problem. Mr. Greenwooa pointed out that the progressive development of the cén- tral high school plant would solve the high school problem in Washington by concentrating high school develop- ment on one high school rather than on several scattered schools, with the possibility that new schools would soon be outgrown by the growing population of the city. He called at- tention to Western High School, where additions now being completed will only equal pregent demands and leave the normal growth of the high school population in that section un- provided for. From the transportation standpoint, the location of the great centralized plant on the outskirts of the city could be easily reached by street cars and bus lines at an hour in the morn- ing and afternoon when travel from the city to the outskirts is light, Mr. Davis and Mr. Greenwood agreed, The Labor Secretary suggested thaf possibly a half-fare arrangement could be effected with the transpor- tation companies to fll cars and busses ordinarily running unloaded from the downtown section following the morning and afternoon rush NOON-DAY LENTEN SERVICES B.

Senator Norris declined to with- draw his amendment or yield in his position.

Senator Robinson declared that the Democrats ought not to permit them- selves to be used as catspaws to pull Republican chestnuts out of the fire. He asked unanimous consent that such Democrats as did not desire to vote be excused from voting on the chairmanship of the public lands committee.

What happened when Theodore Roosevelt ran on a separate ticket in 19122 Does any one now claim that he was not a Republican? He is praised at every Republican meeting that is held today.
