By the W Senator Capper of Kansas, chair- man of the District committes of the Senate, is inclined to think that Con- gr at the coming session, will make some amendments to the pres- ent traffic law for the District.

Senator Capper made this intimation !today following a talk with President Coolidge at the White House, al- though he stated that District mat- ters did not figure in his conference | with the President. Sentiment in favor of electing mem bers of the school board is growing, in the opinfon of the District committee chairman.

'MAN IN BERLIN ADMITS HURLING By the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 27.—“The Polish Dreyfus case” agaln is to the fore in Germany through a confession made to the Berlin police by Teofll Olshan- ska that it was he who threw a bomb last year at President Wojcie- chowski of Poland. A Zionist student named Stanislaw Steiger is on_trial at Lemberg, Poland, charged with the attempted assassination of the Presi- dent. i~ It has been claimed by the Jewish reople off Poland that Steiger is in- nocent of the charge.

Olshanska confessed to the police that he threw the bomb under orders of a secret Ukranlan military organ- ization, which had now instructed him to confess in order to prevent the con- viction of Steiger. Olshanska’s gullt, the Berlin police say, is clearly ap- parent from the details of his con- fession. Olshanska is a Ukranian Commun- ist. Recently, in the Prussian Diet, Deputy Herr Badt asked the minister of the interfor why Germany had al- lowed another Dreyfus case to arise in Poland, since Germany perfectly well knew who was the gullty party. ‘The minister declared that Olshanska had announced that it was he who at- tempted to kill the Polish President and that he revealed the names of those persons who aided him to get out of Poland.

This will com- prise works in oil painting and in sculpture, not only by local men and women, but also by artists from all over the country. % ATTENDING THANK Church, Tenth and G streets, yesterday morning after attending the annual Thanksgiving service.
