The list of amendments on which the Commissioners are expected to act today also include changes in| the speed limits on a number of the bridges and contains an amendment which would definitely authorize Mr. Eldridge to fix increased spead limits when he sees fit on the outlying nor- tions of boulevard highways.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, following the joint sessfon this morn ing between the two commissions, ex plained that the breach between the two commissions was not so wide as to threaten an agreement and that he personally expected a funding ac cord would be reached. The next meeting between the two entire commissions was set for next Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. In the meantime the Rumanians will have time to study the American counter proposal and be prepared to | make an answer. The American counter proposal is understood to be a modification of the basis fixed in the British-Amert can settlement. How far this prece dent-making basis has been changed in the counter proposal was not re- vealed, but it was explained that this basis had been arranged to “suit the case” of the Rumanian situation. egotiations with the Rumanians have been dragged out over a consid erably longer period than the conver sations with almost any other power which has funded, but it seems the in- tention of the Amerlcan commission to allow the Rumanians ample time not only for the presentation of their case, but also for the study of the American presentation. The first meeting was held during the early part of the negotlations with funding their debt. Numerous infor- mal conferences have heen held ba- | tween the experts of the two commis- sions to work out details of the two positions. A small obligation held by the War Department against the Rumanian government and amounting to some few thousand dollars Is underatood to be under consideration by the nego tiators for funding along with the $46,000,000 listed on the Treasury books.

There is also every prospect that they will son have more tenants than they can handle. The various rumors and doubts that have been circulating in Washington about the inability of the Press Ciub to erect what will be one of the largest buildings in the National Capitnl have now been definitely set at rest. ‘While the stores on the ground floor of the building have not actually been leased. according to those in charge, (Continued on | ‘olumn The theater | drawn for be | signed early next week as the erection | CAPPER PLANNING TOHELP DISTRICT Bent on Getting Needed Funds for Work Now Felt Necessary. Senator Capper of Kansas, chair man of the Senate District commit tee, s bent upon seeing needed im provement in the Capital City real ized, particularly with regard to the achools, the streets, street lighting, traffic regulation and bathing beaches. The District chairman has just re- i turned to Washington from Kansas | and will spend much of the time until | the opening of Congress, December 7. |in studving the local situation and | framing a program of legislation. | “Washington has not kept pace | with the development of other cities |in many respects,” sald Senator Cap per. “it fell behind in public schools. o msaarirHsLreet lighting and, tmprovement and in other respects. This has been due largely to the failure of Congress to appropriate for these needed improve. ments. The appropriations for the District should be liberal Shouldn't Be Turned Down. “Congress has in the last few years adopted the lump-sum method of con- tributing the Government's share to the upkeep of the Capital City. While 1 have been favorable to the propor tionate plan, whereby the Federal Government first contributed 50 per cent of the expenditure made for Washington and later, 40 per cent. it does look now as though the lump- #um plan would be continued. In that case, the District Commissioners, representing the people of the District should be given the widest power so far as recommendations for appropria- | tions for the District are concerned. There {8 no good reason why the Budget Bureau should have power to veto the recommendations of the Com missioners, under these circumstances. The amounts appropriated for the District, with the Government con- tributing a fixed lump sum. will neither increase nor decrease the amount expended in a fiscal vear hy the Federal Government. If the people of Washington wish certain needed improvements, and the Com- missioners recommend them, the Budget Bureau should not turn them down, or be authorized to turn them down. The money comes out of the pockete of the taxpavers of the Dis- trict, and under the lump-sum pian the Federal Treasury is not dls- { turbed by larger or less appropria- tions for this city. Led School Fight. Senator Capper led in the fight which brought about a school build- ing program, better pay for the school teachers and a compulsory education and school census law. He sald today that it is particulariy | necessary now to see that the appro- | priations are made to live up to the school buflding prograw, so that school congestion shall be relieved. here is no use of establishing a program of buiiding if the appropria- tions are not made.” he declared. Senator Capper expressed his inter. est in the street car situation. He | sald he would look into the proposed merger matter, and that he hoped the street car companies would take ad vantage of the authority given them by the last Congress to bring about a voluntary merger. Congress must pass upon the terms of the merger be- fore it becomes actually effective. Another measure that Senator Cap- | per_believes should be given prompt atténtion by Congress is the so-called public welfare bill, under which there is a consolidation of many of the wel- fare activities of the city. This bill was on the Senate calendar at the last session, but failed to be acted upon. Senator Capper, in addition to being chairman of the Senate District com- mittee, is & member of the suhcommit- tee on appropriations which handles the District appropriation bill. capacities he comes into immediate contact with the requirements of the National Capital. and he is keenly in terested in the future development of the city. The bathing heach problam is one that will have to be solved at the com- ing session. he said. To leave Wash ington without public outdosr hathing facilities would be a great mistake, he said. | Hounds to Treil Missing Girl. | NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Novem- | ber 21 (). —Convinced from the story of a foreman of a gang of telephone {linemen that Miss Alice M.
