BY ROBERT T. SMALL. The first feeble stirrings of renewed activity at the headquarters of the Democratic national committee have been detected by keen observers. They | have come with March, the month of the Spring equinox, and may indicate ! that the opposition party is about to imm‘rge from its long Winter hiberna- | tion. It is reported on_excellent inside authority that the Democrats either have hired, or_are about to hire, & press agent. The general opinion is that the move has been made none too soon, for the burden and respon- || sibility which confront the new man are well night overwhelming. | _To all outward appearances Democratic national committec all but lapsed into innocuous desue- tude since the last campaign. Clem | Shaver of West Virginia, who was made chairman by John \W. Davis in 1924, has retained his position, but there has been no functioning by the committee. A few stenopraphes nd clerks have been emploved in the Washington headquarters, but they have had to do much Kknitting and sewing to fill in the wide gaps be- tween dictated letters or other forms of office work. No National Party. Various State Democratic like Gov. Smith of New York, have continued to fight the “enem; but nationally speaking there has been no Democratic party for the last 3 g0, and to judge from the voting in the House and Senate thus far in the session there has been no Dem: cohesion or leadership on ( Hill. Congressional Democrats have been roving the prairle, voting where they pleased, more often with the Re- publicans than against them. Tt has been the most astounding exhibition and s created the most anomalous situation Washington ever has seen. But no that the natiol com- mittee has employved a press agent perhaps things will change. Perhaps the sleeping Democracy will be stirred to a new and militant attitude. Per- haps the press agent will discover some new potion, entirely legal in character, to make the jackrabbits sit up and hurl defiance at the bull dogs. Certainly some one is needed to speak a word for Democracy. The capital has long been silent in that quarter, s0 much so that all the Democratic Rip Van Winkles may well arise and demand to know in chorus: Mr. Speaker, where are we at?" the Shaver Handicapped. The Democrats of the country are not placing all the blame for their present predicament on the shoulders of Mr. Shaver, although a great iny of them would have preferred the West Virginian step aside the end of the disastrous Davis a more active and sive man n opportunity at reorganization or party re building. haver has been handicapped No chairman can anvthing without money, and, posedly, in the Democratic or- { ganization somewhere there do is ittee which should have been stir- | ring but which appai ently h tlent and as still Shaver evidently has stuck to the job. because no one has has come forward to take up the task. | Mr. Shaver remained immediately after the campaign because there were stories that the McAdoo forces were going to capture the commit- tee & put in their own man as chairman. This would have aroused the Smith brigade. Likewise, if the friends of Gov. Smith had made even the slightest move toward the chair- manship, the McAdoo men and wom- 1 of the committee would have flamed into rebellion Shaver Great Hibernator. thought best by all con- the episodes of » Garden. followed as by the debacle at the na- it was best for the party e—to hibernate good and haver was thought to be to conduct the hiberna- one admits today that t at least he has been eatest chairmen the had Just not beast n Lvery this respe vite of the sarty ever And now lumber was Democratic prick up b word of & p | or on the job he Democratic donkey at last is stir.

Mr. Eldridge pointed out that of the total number of accldents, according to police records, in 1925, 584 were for driving while under the influence of liquor,” in which there were 293 convictions, with 210 still untried. Director Eldridge pointed out that there are five grade crossings in the District at which seven persons have been killed in the last four years. During those same years there have been a total of 277 trafiic fatalities jon the streets of Washington as against the 7 at grade crossings. He urged the committee that while it was very desirable to abolish grade crossings, the expenditure of the same amount of money for electric traffic slgnal lights and other safeguards would bring about a much greater saving of life. Would Control Street Cars. ‘The traffic director proposed an amendment to include control of street | cars under the authority of the traffic | director, as has already been approved ihl the House District committee. In discussing this suggestion it was hown that the District Commission- ers had originally approved this pro- { vision, but later when street railway cgn.puulen had threatened the Public Utilities Commission that they would | take the matter to court, the Commis- { sloners had disapproved the proposal. The House District committee has al- | ready favorably reported a bill carry- | Ing a provision to put the street rail- ways under the control of the traflic director. Director Eldridge also recommended the employment of three additional as- sistants to the corporation counsel to handle all trafic cases in the Trafflc Court except the use of smoke screens, which is a Federal offense. He recom- | mended that this change be made, as | now two different kinds of counsel, the counsel and the United States attorneys, appear in different cases. The salaries of these new as- sistant corporation counsel would be fixed in accordance with the classifica- tion act. Would Control Pedestrians. Mr. Eldridge also recommended giving the traffic director a reasoha- ble measure of control over pedestri- ans. He proposed that operators’ per- mits be issued for a three-year period from the date of issue at a fee of $3 for each three-year period upon renewal. He asked authority to revoke or suspend permits in mandatory cases the same as under the present law and in cases that are not mandatory, 5o that he could suspend when, in his judgment, continued use of the permit would be a menace to public safety. He provided, however, that the holder of the permit should have the right of appeal to the court. Mr. Eldridge also suggested that when a permit is revoked under a mandatory revision, instead of the roundabout process and delay, as at present, the judge of the Police Court should revoke the permit upon conviction and return it to the tratfic director. Asks Lower Penalties. He advised a change in the reckless driving clause so as to clarify and simplify the language. He proposed changing the wording of the speed regulation because the corporation counsel has ruled that he cannot now change the speed limit on boulevard highways and cad only change it on arterfal highways and in outlying districts. Mr. Eldridge ask- ed that this be changed so as to in- clude boulevards in the territory he is allowed to regulate. He advised changing penalties in a great many cases, such as driving while drunk, 8o as to cut down the punishment to a maximum penalty of $300 or 90 days' imprisonment, be- low which jury trial may not be de- manded Mr. Eldridge submitted a list of gtreets on which he recommended that electric traffic signals be.placed. This is the same list he introduced at hearings before the appropriations committee, but with New Jersey avenue added. This {s a more com- prehensive Iist than appeared in the original Blanton bill. Those were for boulevard bighways. There have now been added a block of streets in the congested downtown area, running from Sixth to Thirteenth street, in- clusive, from Pennsylvania avenue to Massachusetts avenue. It includes also a block of streets from Pennsyl- vania avenue to Florida avenue and between Fourteenth street and Eight- eenth street Cost Estimated at $381.000. Careful study of costs shows that this entire system can be installed for $381.000, except for the conduit and lights on New Jersey avenue, which would cost between $35,000 and $20,000. In reply to questions from Repre- sentative Hammer, Mr. Eldridge said that if Congress would give him au- | thority to suspend permits pending trial, the law could stand as it is re- garding the right to dppeal for a jury trial, because-he thought that would | have the salutary effect of preventing many from appealing for a jury trial. Both Chafrman Stalker “and Mr. Hammer made it plain to Mr. Eldridge that the House District committee and Congress would never countenance the prohibition of all-night parking, pointing out that when the majority of houses were built no provision was made for garage accommodations, and that it would be impossible to get garages convenient and would be a great hardship on many poorly paid Government employes.

AND OTHER ANIMALS FOR ZOO WELFARE MEASURE PASSED BY SENATE Creation of Board Proposed in Bill—Mothers’ Aid Again Goes Over. A number of bills of interest to the people of Washington, including the measure creating the board of pub- lic welfare, were passed by the Sen- ate this afternoon. The welfare bill has not yet been acted on by the House, but is regard- ed as one of the most important pleces of District legislation pending at this time. Other were: To reimburse the group of employes of the Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing for the length of time they were out of the service following their re- moval by executive order in March, 1922 bills favorably acted upon The joint resolution authorizing an appropriation to complete the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington | National Cemetery. The joint resolution to authorize the Red Cross to continue to use one of the temporary Government build- ings in Washington which it now occupies. Mothers’ Bill Goes Over. The bill to provide financial assist- ance for mothers with dependent children was reached on the calendar, but consideration of it was postponed by request. This is the second time this measure has gone over for future consideration. The bill which has already passed the House to take $600,000 from the surplus revenues of the District to buy the additional land needed to con- nect Rock Creek and Potomac park- ways again came up in the Senate this afternoon, but was referred back to the Senate District committee after Chairman Capper had explained that Senator Phipps of Colorado, in charge of District appropriations in the Sen. ate, desired further opportunity for consideration of his amendment, which would require the Federal Govern- ment to share in this expense on a 60-40 basis. Favors Later Inquiry. When the public welfare bill was reached Senator King, Democrat, Utah, member of the District com mittee, declared he would not object to its passage because “Iit contains many meritorions features.” He de- clared, however, that he wanted the District committee to take up in the near future and inquire into the work of the Juvenile Court and the Board of Children’s Guardians in the plac. ing of wards. Senator King asserted that he be- lieves injustices are sometimes com- mitted by the Juvenile Court and the Board of Guardians in taking chil- dren under their jurisdiction because “of some little indiscretion.” The Senator added that he thought this same statement could be made of varfous communities throughout the United States. In concluding. Senator King suggested that there should Le an added limitation on the powers of the Juvenile Court and ths Board of Guardians in the placing of chil- dren brought to their attention. NEW ARCTIC LANDS OR POLE SOUGHT BY MEN OF 5 NATIONS First Page.) (Continued from claiming any land that may be found. Lieut. Wade hopes to establish the shortest London-to-Tokio route. It was this that Hendrik Hudson sought, “‘the shortest route to Cathay, Hind and Nippon.” The Byrd expedition, backed in part by John D. Rockefeller, jr., and Edsel Ford, also seeks this unknown land. A mysterious motor sledge will play a part in the expedition under the aus- pices of the French navy department. The sleds are the design of Capt. Otto Syerdrup, Norweglan seaman who piloted Nansen in the Fram on his fa- mous drift past the North Pole locked in polar ice. Hydroplanes also will be used. Norwegian Seeks Pole. A Norwegian, Lieut. Eliassen, hopes to reach the Pole in a flying boat, starting from Nova Zembla. An expedition headed by Harrison Willlams, backed by the American Museum of Natural History and George Palmer Putnam, publisher, will cruise the seas about Greenland to obtain scientific data. A party from the University of Michi- gan, led by Prof. William H. Hobbs, will explore Greenland itself. A Rus. slan expedition to the west shore of Nova Zembla léd by Prof. Matouse- vitch has been announced. Another Russian expedition will explore a large {sland north of Siberia, formerly known as Nicholas II Land, but now known at Lenin Land. BYRD PLANS ANNOUNCED. Only Veterans of Long Service to Be Taken on Expedition. By the Associated Press The Byrd expedition's dash by air for the North Pole will get under way from New York late this month, with its leader, Lieut. Comdr. Richard E. Byrd, expecting to land his plane at the pole and be back in this country before Summer ends. With his ship and airplane crews selected largely from volunteers from commissioned and enlisted men of the Naval Reserve, Comdr. Byrd will de- pend on a three-engined Fokker plane to carry him over the icy wastes at the top of the earth. The Shipping | Board steamer Chantier will be used | by the expedition, which is being | financed by John D. Rockefeller, jr.;| Thomas F. Ryan, Edsel Ford and | Vincent Astor.

Pigmy Mouse and Black Rhinoceros Also Wanted. Beasts, ranging in size and ferocity from the African lion to the pigmy mouse smaller than a bumble bee, from the black rhinoceros to the little coney or hyrax, smaller than a rabbit and the nearest relative to the elephant —in all. approximately 100 specimens of wild animals never before seen in America, as well as many other Afri can animals at present rare in this country and not now found at the Na tlonal Zoological Park here—are ob- jectives of an expedition to leave this country within a few days under au spices of the Smithsonian Institution and In co-operation with Walter P. Chrysler, automobile manufacturer. And the animals will be brought back to Washington and housed in the Zoo. The inspiration of the expedition according to Dr. William M. Mann, superintendent of the Zoo, who wili lead the party, is the lack of either giraffes or rhinoceri here. From that point the plans have expanded so that they not only include the col lecting of many wild animals alive, but have given the expedition a broad sclentific scope. Dr. Mann is a natu- ralist and collector with field experi- ence in many of the world's outposts. The other members of the expedition are experienced fleld naturalists. Children Want Giraffes. “Our keepers at the National Zoo,” said Dr. Mann, are asked by children continually ‘Where are the giraffes? We grew tired of disappointing them with the iInformation that the Na- tional Zoo hasn't any giraffes to show them, but we could not help ourselves. Then Mr. Chrysler heard of our diffi- culty and offered to the Smithsonian Institution to finance an expedition to | collect giraffes and whatever else we need.” Tanganylka Territory, in Britieh Fast Africa, has been selected as the best place to trap the wild animals that are the object of the trip. The expedition will proceed inland from Dar-es-Salaam and will form a camp. if possible, on a ranch not too remote from a railroad. That will be head- quarters during the entire stay of five or six mon‘hs in the fleld. ~An ex perienced animal keeper from the Zoo will remain there in charge with a corps of natives, whom he will train .

Plane of Special Type. Cape Morris Jessup, at the extreme | northern tip of eenland and 400 miles from Kings Bay, will be the first stop of the plane. A return trip to bring supplies will he made before undertaking the second 400-mile lap straight for the poie. Although the plane has a 1,200-mile cruising radius, Comdr. Byrd feels that the dangers of the trip will be minimized by cut- ting the flight into two short hops. In addition, the craft is able to re- main in the air with any of its three engines out of action On most of the flights Comdr. Byrd be accompanied only by Floyd Bennett, chlef petty officer in Naval Air Service, and who flew with him while with the MacMillan expe- dition. George E. Pond and Frederick H. Becker. naval reserve lleutenants with much flying experience, are be- ing considered for the third pilot seat in_the plane. Fuel and engine problems to be en- countered in the low temperatures of the north will be handled by G. O. Noville of the Vacuum Oil Company, while an “ice skipper” and a sledge work expert will be added to the ex- pedition from ctvil life. The remain- der of the Chantier’'s personnel will come from the reserve list of the Navy, men of from 16 to 20 years' experlence being selected. To Carry Second Plane. A second airplane to be in readiness in case of mishap to the Fokker will be ipacked aboard the Chantler, along with | the most modern navigating and sclen- tific observation equipment. Gasoline suffictent for 10,000 miles of air flying and food for six months will be taken. A special low wave length radio set will keep the plane and ship in commu. nicatfon, and a high wave-length out- fit aboard the Chantier will keep the expedition in touch with the world. Comdr. Byrd belleves that the suc- cess of the Polar exploration by air- plane depends on avoidance by land- ings on the ice or water. He does not expect_to come down except on land, n order to avold danger from ice move- ments. Should he succeed in reaching the true pole, he plans to return to Cape Jessup and strike out again to sweep the unknown region to the northwest of the cape, where many be- lieve an Arctic continent will be found. Up-to-date navigating and sclentific observation equipment will be taken and special low wave-length radio apparatus for communication from plane to ship is being prepared. Dur- ing the flights last year Navy vessels in Australlan waters intercepted mes- k to the base ship. The Chantler's own high wave, low power set, however, will be relied upon to keep the party in com munication with the world. Huge Gasoline Supply. A store of 4,500 gallons of gasoline, enough for 10,000 miles of air crulsing, will be carried aboard the Chantier, together with food sufficient for a six- months stay in the North. The ship's holds will be fliled with extra coal to insure safety and comfort. In determining to make his attempt by plane, Comdr. Byrd discarded the possibility of trying out a “‘blimp” type of lighter-than-air craft for the work because of the cost factor.

The Federal Government won today in a test case in the Supreme Court to determine its liability for compensa tion of short-line railroads, as a result of war-time control of raflroads. The Marion and Rye Valley Rail way, a West Virginia short line, made the fight for compensation. In the Court of Claims the Government won in its contention that the blanket proc. lamation of President Wilson, by which all railroads were placed under Federal control did not obligate the Government to pay any compensation to the 400.odd short line rallroads which were permitted to operate with out Government intereference. The Government's liability turned on the point whether the President's proclamation constituted an actual taking, and if so to what extent the taking had obligated the Governmant to compensate. A board of referees appointed by the Interstate Commerce Commission awarded the short lines compensation, but the director of rafl pads refused to accept the board's findings as a basis for settlement.
