RUM CAR IS SMASHED 50-Mile-an-Hour Speed Reached in Pursuit Ending in Wreck of Liquor Auto. Two nunidentified white men escaped when a race with Motor Cycle Police- men Rowen and Smith of the eleventh precinct ended in the crash of their liquor-laden automobile into a_curb near Lincoln Park shortly after 1 o'clock this morninz. The pursuit of the car, which was coming from the direction of southern Maryland, start- ed at Pennsylvania and Alabama ave- nues, and the rum runners hit a pace of 50 miles an hour. They fled after the crash of their car, which wAs selzed, with a dozen quarts of corn li- quor. Marked money was used in the ar- rest yesterday afternoon by Capt. Bur- lingame and his flying squadron of Mrs. Sarah Catherine Quick, on a charge of lllegal possession and sale of liquor. Tn another liquor arrest this morning Albert Rogers, colored, 169 Kendall street northeast, was charged with fl- legal possession after he is alleged to have deposited a box containing bot- tlex of corn liquor from an automobile in front of the home of Kdward John- son, colored, at 2518 Sheridan road southeast. Johnson and Rogers’ wife, Mamie Rogers, also were held to an- swer charges of illegal possession. COMPULSORY LAW ASKED. The teaching of the essential fea- tures of the Constitution of the United States, including a study of American institutions and ideals, would be made compulsory in the public schools of Washington by the terms of a bill introduced today by Senator Jones of Washington, a member of the Senate District com- mittee. The measure provides that all ap- plicants for appointment as superin- tendent or teachers in the local public schools be required to pass an ex- amination on the Constitution. Fail- ure of a teacher to comply with the proposed law would be grounds for dismissal. The bill was referred to the Senate District committee for consideration. 107 New Measles Cases. The District Health Department was deluged again today with reports of additiona) measles cases.

This country has accepted. the league’s invitation, and it is supposed that such acceptance will be kept alive by a postponement of the date of the conference. But should fail to make any provision for the pre- limimary cenference, then a different situation might arise. Postponement Likely. The feeling here in high official quarters is that the league council will feel impelled to go ahead with the conference on arms limitation, al- though it may feel itself justified in postponing the preliminary conference until after the September meeting of the league asembely, particularly in view of the fact that the conference has already been once postponed in order to permit Germany to become a member of the league before the con- ference is held. and also to have the Locarno pacts in effect. There is no illusion on the part of the United States Government that the nations of Europe feel toward the disarmament question as the people of this country feel. Their problem is vastly different from that which con- fronts the people of America. They have centuries of wars behind them and the prospect of future wars, They have come to rely upon force for pro- tection, and to angle always for the better position in any arrangement of balance of power. The governments of Europe as now constituted are not anxious to dis- arm, although many of the people are anxious to do so. But there is a factor in the situation which is having effect. Under the terms of the Versailles treaty of peace it was agreed that after Germany had been disarmed and after she had been admitted to the League of Nations the other nations would then pro- ceed to limit their armaments also. Now Germany is to be admitted to the league, provided the differences that developed in Geneva in recent days can be ironed out by Septem- ber. When Germany is admitted to the league, then she may say, “Pro- ceed with the disarmament according to the treaty.” Germany has been disarmed effectually, but that is not the way the other nations desire to be disarmed. So the proposed arms conference, designed to write a formula of disarmament which will be in a measure satisfactory to the other nations, has been advanced in order to provide an excuse for not carrying out to the letter the pro- visions of the Versailles treaty. That, furthermore, is another impelling rea- son for not abandoning the plans for the preliminary conference. Two Theorles Advanced. Two theories have been advanced regarding disarmament, one by the British and the United States, which is to reduce proportionately the exist- ing peace strength of military forces and the material required for war purposes kept on hand. The other. &z‘: ti)r[wnrd t;)fl the French. would e Into consideration the potential BAL slensth of a the council | TARIFF BODY BUILT ON MODEL OF I. C. C.

Tt takes an average of more than two years to secure rate- fixing decisions’ after hearings. and often after extensive and costly in- vestigations of production condi- tions abroad. (Copyright. 1 PROPOSAL TO CURB POLICE WORK LOSES House Defeats Move to Keep Local Force From Enforcing Dry Law. A proposal vesterday by Represent- ative Loring Black, Democrat, of New York, that no part of the appropria- tions for support of the Metropolitan police force could he used for enforce- ment of the prohibition law, was de- feated by a vote of 32 to This was offered as an amendment to the District appropriation bill.= Mr. Black's evident purpose was to dis- cuss the wet and drvy issue and he sald the poll being taken by newspa- pers in every State shows a swing away from the eighteenth amendment, His ¢ontention was disputed by Rep- resentative Blanton, Democrat, Texas, on behalf of the drys. A nationwide referendum to be con- Aucted by States on the beer and light wines question was proposed yester- day in a bill by Representative Oliver, Democrat, New York. Mr. Oliver said his bill would send the prohibition question "back to the local communities which govern the selves in the important affairs of life and give “each county, town or city the right to review'the matter at the polls every two, years.” its manufactories, its coast lines and its man strength. Whether the na- tions will ever be able to reconcile these differences remains to be seen. One factor which, if not now, at least in a few years to come, may help to bring disarmament is the huge cost of keeping up the armies and navies in furope. The bellef was expressed here to- day that there is not the slightest chance of a separate naval confer- ence to be held perhaps in Washing- ton, at this time, no mater what hap- pens to the league conference.
