Our based on traffic surv and the streets showing the greatest Volume of traffic are given preference. If it can be shown, however, by the street car companies that the greatest number is being injured by these regu- lations, it will be found that we will welcome the opportunity to remedy the situation.” Paragraph of section 2 of ar- e 2 of the traffic regulations, ef- fective last May 3, and amended June good to the 24, distinctly provides that ‘“upon approaching any boulevard highway a vehicle or street car on an inter- secting street shall come to a com- plete stop before crossing.” The District Commissioners ap- proved this section when they ap- oved the regulations as a whole e District Commissioners are the Public Util s Commission, it s pointed out, and their individual judg- ments would be the same while sit- ng as the Utilities Commi n.

The casket was not removed from the funeral car until Mrs. Bryvan had left the station. partition in the rear end of the car had to be taken away to permit ready exit for the large casket. When the American flag which draped it was removed for the transfer of the casket from the car to a conveyance a deep dent was displayed at one end, where it had | obviously come into contact with a heavy objeet before it was placed on the train in Tennessee. The flag-draped casket was then borne to a hearse at the east exit of the station and carrfed to the under. taking parlors of John R. Wright, 1337 Tenth street. A guard of honor, composed of veterans of the World War, placed it in the motor hears while "the crowds which lined streets nearby stood in silent reve ence. None of the Bryan party a companied the hearse to the undertal ing establishment. Hearse Unnoticed. Almost unnoticed by the hundreds of Government clerks and others hur- rying to their work about 8:30 o'clock, the hearse moved slowly with the heavy morning traffic along Massa- chusetts avenue to Tenth street. The trip from the station to the undertak- er's took almost an hour, due to the crush of morning traffic. As soon as the body reached the undertaking establishment the casket was opened by the undertaker's as- sistants, who were the first to look upon the features of the head states- man after his arrival here. They said they could see no change whatever as a result of the Z4-hour journey from Tennessee. A tiny spray of lily of the valley, Mr. Bryan's orite” flower, placed on the lapel of his coat in Dayton, appeared as fresh as when the journey started. When Mrs. Bryan and her party ched the hotel they were greeted rea with hundreds of letters, telegrams and cablegrams from all over the world. W. E. Thompson, Mr. Bryan's confidential secretary, took them to Mre. Bryan's sulte on the sixth floor for her to read. The widow and her party, however, made preparations for o late breakfast before reading the messages of condolence or undertak- NINE ARE SENTENCED TO TERMS IN PRISON Answering Skeleton Key Ad Brings Six-Year Penalty for Flat Building Thief.

(COOLIDGE STAKES ALL ON ECONOMY Political Life Declared Re- sult of Strength of Program. (Editor's note—~This is the first of four dispatches om the theme “Two Years of Coolidge,” apropos of the fact that next Monday will mark the end of the second year since Calvin Coolidge took the oath of o, President of the United States.) BY DAVID LAWRENCE. SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., July 30.- Two years in the White House usually means mid-channel. It marks the high tide of popularity or the begin- ning of the ebb-flow of unpopularity. Al{d-channel in President Taft's term told the story of schedule “K' and a fateful insurgency that spelied po- litical disaster. Mid channel with President Wilson revealed the great Federal Reserve act transmitted into 2 llving reform. Mid channel for President Harding showed the Wash- ington armament conference as the great achievement in foreign affaire, but a rising dissent on domestic poli- cles, particularly in the railroad and coal strilke controversies. President Coolidge stands in a posi- tion wholly unlike these prede- cessors. All but five months of his first two years as President have been spent in filling out the unexpired term of the man he succeeded. And most of the first year was inevitably consumed in maneuvering for the presidential nomination, so that not until the November election of 1924 did the country feel that Mr. Coolidge was “President in his own right,” as the phrase goes. He has, however, been in office almost a year now under the latter classification Is Mr. Coolidge more popular than he was when elected last Autumn, or has his political strength declined? Is he fortunate in having no serious reverses, or is his own political sagac ity responsible for the relative har mony that prevails inside his party? These two questions are natural to! ask at the midchannel period in any | presidential career. Calvin Coolidge | has had the opportunity to reveal| himself to the American people in two | years, but even his friends concede | that he has not disclosed much more of his personality than was apparent when he took the oath of office. He is first of all not of a self-revealing dis- | position. He does mnot .place the | processes of his mind in the public| prints, where they can be minutely | examined. He percelves as much | virtue in restraint as in affirmative | action. And by that standard must all impressions of him be measured. Economy His Forte. It Mr. Coolidge were to be asked wherein his term of office thus far differs from that of preceding Presi dents, he probably would say that it has been less spectacular or perhaps less picturesque. Nobody knows bet- ter than he does how difficult it is to dramatize statistics, and, after all, the biggest single achievement of Mr. Coolidge's career—one that will live after him no matter what happens in the next years of his public service— is his insistence on economy in Gov- ernment expenditure and a reduction in income taxes. These two things go hand in hand. They afford, however, no opportunity to reveal in public the character and positiveness of a pren—! dentfal mind in action upon them. Only the cabinet officers and their | subordinates know that with utter| stmplicity, yet with an earnestness and even a severity which could not be misunderstood, Mr. Coolidge told the personnel of the Government from high to low station that economy meant economy. It requires political nerve to refuse to sanction_expenditures sought here and there by influential members of Congress. It requires considerable pa- |tience to conceal the irritation that | rises every now and then when econ- | omy is disregarded and the presiden- { tial policy really flouted. Has Made It Real. Gen. Lord, director of the budget, has stood at the President’s elbow or at the end of a telephone for nearly two vears, and he knows the battle that Calvin Coolidge has waged quiet- Iy to make the word economy a real- ity instead of a piece of political dema- goguery. j_ Some have called it New England i thrift and have professed to see in the i President’s whole life a tendency to- tward economy and an abhorrence of jexcessive spending. But even assum- +ing a certain instinct toward frugality, ithere is no question that paramount Vin the mind of Calvin Coolidge econ- :omy and lower taxes constituted the i pest plece of politics on which he {could venture before the eletgorate. { Having spent most of his life iin politics, Mr. Coolidge knew the re- action of people to that issue. And the gives no evidence of having be- | come convinced that the issue has out- lived its usefulness. He knows that one good issue can transcend a dozen mediocre issues. And so it may be confidently expected that two years hence Calvin Coolidge will be preach- ing economy as earnestly as he did two years ago when he drafted his first message to Congress. Mr. Coolidge has the type of mind which gives weight to the opinion of his advisers. He early learned the soundness of the policy started by the Treasury Department immedidtely after the war and continued by Secre- tary Mellon on an even broader scale —namely, the retirement of the big public debt. He saw, too, the necessity of bringing income tax rates down, so as to make the total revenues larger. On the essentials of the Mellon theory of taxation Mr. Coolidge found him- self in absolute accord with the Treas- ury, and then came the use of execu- tive influence to secure the enactment of that policy. Mr. Coolidge did not succeed in the first attempt as well as he might. He was inclined to let the Treasury deal h the leaders in Congress. He was a bit new in office himself. Is Stronger Now. Now, however, things have changed. Mr. Coolidge is’ stronger—or at least feels himself stronger with public opinion—than Congress. He will insist upon further economy and further reductions in taxes. He will stake everything on that and regard the previous defeats he has received at the hands of Congress as due to his own undeveloped strength rather than any inherent flaw in his proposals, For, to be sure, Mr. Coolidge has suffered some defeats on Capitol Hill— one of them within a few days after he had been inaugurated, truly an unprecedented reverse. But it has not hurt him politically with his own party, and disinterested observers question whether it has affected at all outside of Congress. Mr. Coolidge's handling of Congress thus far has not been as successful as that of past Presidents. Yet the shrewdest thing Mr. Coolidge has done in two years was to recognize that elther he or Congress had to get the stronger hold on public opinion. So he consented to, even urged, a long recess for Congress. Meanwhile he has had the stage to himself and has been able to keep out of controversies and to let enough things alone so that with the Republican party at least, if not with many conservatives of other political beliets, he has increased his hold. He is regarded by them as a self-assured, careful, even-tempered, safe and sane executive—someth! they have vearned for always. An the opposition to him has not yet or- sanized Ls preliminary sttuck. h 3 CAPITAL PAYS TRIBUTE AS COMMONER LIES IN STATE N INADEQUATE Board of Examiners Tell Commissioners Incompe- tent Architects Escape. The new law for the registration of architects in the District does not af-| ford adequate supervision of the pro- fession and should be strengthened, the Commissioners were told today in the first annual report of the Board of Examiners and Registrars. The board advised the city heads | that certain sections of the law apply | to registered architects only, “and | consequently no control may be had | over ‘gross incompetence’ or ‘reck lessness’ for persons practieing under | the act without registration because of | prior practice. Under the existing law, in fact, any person (architect or layman) may design buildings.” The board then stated in the report that it has under consideration recom- mendations for the strengthening of the provisions of the act with & view to_further protecting the public. It is further recommended by the board of architects that another law be passed providing for the registra- tion and regulation of structural and mechanical engineers. This, the board states, would serve the pubiic interest | and fill a vital need. The board said, in the report, that it is now engaged in making rules to provide for reci- procity with the 24 States that have laws for the registration of architects. The report shows that 106 applica- tions have been received up to July 1, and 73 persons registerad. Twenty- one applicants have been notified that they will be required to take exami- nation, and 11 cases are pending. There have been affidavits of prior practice filed by 14 persons. The re- port was submitted by Delos H. Smith, secretary to the board. U. S. OFFERS PESI:TIDNS. Civil Service Announces Tests for Various Posts.

COMPROMISE PLAN ON WORLD COURT IS LOOMING IN SENATE (Continued from First Page.) tomorrow, and has summoned Repre- sentative Martin B. Madden of Ili- nois, chairman of the House appro- priations committee, to discuss the matter. One of the greatest cuts President Coolidge insists upon is in the War Department. Two months ago he ordered the War Department to make a survey of its expenses with the idea, it possible, of effecting a reduc- tion of something near $100,000,000. Mr. Madden Is in full accord with the economy plans. Coolidge Enjoys Visit. The President seemed to enjoy fully the hour he spent vesterday afternoon at the annual gathering of the Essex County Republican Club at Centennial Grove, near here. He said he had a great time and was delighted to meet so many of his old political friends, many of whom he had not seen in vears. There were more than 1,000 Repub- lican leaders and workers on hand, and the occaslon was strictly of the nature of the old-time political outing, such as is rapidly passing out with the advent of women in_politics and ith the direct primary. There is con- siderable significance attached to the gathering and the nature of the ad- dresses made. It 18 looked upon as an early call to party victory in 1926, as well as the informal opening of Senator Butler's campaign for re-elec- tion to the Senate next year from Massachusetts. The President followed his ironclad rule and did not speak. Instead he strolled about the grounds, talking first with one group and then another. He was frequently addressed as “Cal” and in return addressed many of those with whom he exchanged greetings by their first names. There was no mistaking the fact that President Coolidge was happy and proud. He was cheered loudly upon his arrival, and besides this he was pleased with the friendliness on the part of his old friends and also with ihe complimentary reference to | him made by Gov. Fuller, the first speaker, who declared Mr. Coolidge {hus caught the imagination of the | American people to a greater extent than any man since Abraham Lin- coln. BORAH HITS COURT.

If they were, T would leave it to the people for a vote without opening my | mouth. “I do mot want it thought that 1 am opposed to a world court in gen- eral. I have been advocating a court for several years. A world court could be created whieh it would be safe for us to join, and which would help pro- mote the cause of peace. I do intend to bring up changes in the present plan when it comes before the Senate —I mean the plan of joining the league’'s court with the Harding- Hughes reservations. ““Labor feels that courts should not make their own laws. Some courts now establish principles of law out of the statutes. It is planned to create a court with no law to govern it ex- cept that made by itself. We have no established or accepted code of inter- national law. I favor creating a court to render decisions while operating under law. “In the proposed court you do not elect the judges, you cannot recall them, you cannot appeal from their decislons. This is practically judicial despotism. A more ambitious and pre- sumptuous effort to establish judicial despotism was never conceived. “The court could not prevent war. It could not summon an offending na- tion into court unless that nation agreed, no matter how great the wrong might be. It would rarely occur that after a nation had invaded another country it would stop to let a court investigate the matter.” 1 AMATEUR BOXER IS FINED H. C.
