Showing a disposition to have im- portant local measures enacted before adjournment, the Senate District com- i mittee vesterday afternoon ordered u | favorable report on the bathing beach bill and practically completed con- sideration of the bill to broaden the | original tratfic law. The bathing beach bill authorizes v of $345,000 to establish one i tor the white and colored iong at points to be selected the Commissioners. This bill has passed the Hous nd will be reported 1o the Senate today or tomorrow by Senator Copeland of New York, In charge of 1t us chairman of a Sub- committee. Although the committee did not reach a vote on the traftic bill yester- ing, completed a study of to act within a few days. Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, asked the commit- tee to delay action until he can ex amine the stenographich record of the hearings. He aiso said he had some amendments to offer. Traflic Bill to Be Pushed. Chairman Capper characterized the traific bill as one of the most impor- tant 1 matters awalting action and it is expecied he will seek to have it reported out at the next meeting of the committee. The traffic bill also has passed the House. The Senate committee agreed yes- terday to strike out the section of the bill inserted by the House which would have had the effect of prohib- iting taxicab companies from main- taining stands in front of hotels and Union Station. Che committee agreed to make sev- eral minor amendments suggested by Traflic Director Eldridge that were not in the bill as it came from the House. One would place all traffic violations under the corporation counsel in the District branch of Police Court, in- stead of having some offenses tried in the United States branch by the as- sistant District attorney. Would Clarify Powers. Another amendment agreed to by the committee would clarity lan- guage under which the director has authority to require heavy trucks to maintain a slower speed than pas- senger vehlcles, and also to give him definite authorit. to require low- speed limits over bridges. Mr. Eld- ridge told the committee questions as to his present authority on these subjects have not been raised, but that there was room for making the language clearer as to his authority to fix limits under 22 miles an hour for certain purposes. The committee indicated it was f: rable to the portion of the bill glving the director additional author- ity to revoke operators' permite in cases other than those resulting from a conviction. The committee, how ever, proposed two amendments, one requiring that the reason for the re- vocation or suspension be made a matter of record in the traffic office and changing the method of appeal | from the traffic office. The House bill would give a motorist right of ap- peal to the District Court of Appeals. Senator Capper, chairman of the com- mittee, explained that he had received a communication from the judges in- dicating that it would be a better ar- rangement to permit these motorists whose permits have been suspended to apply to the Court of Appeals for a writ of error rather than making a straight appeal of the cases. | discussion b To Extend Lights. Members of the committee displayed a keen interest in the automatic sig- nal lights on Sixteenth street, and Chairman Capper asked Mr. Eldridge if he proposed to extend the system. He replied that such was the inten- tion of the District authoritles as rapidly as funds are appropriated. Mr. Eldridge suggested several | amendments, one to increase the num- her of assistants to the corporation counsel at Police Court and another affecting the right of jury trial in cer- tain cases, but withdrew them from | consideration after members of the committee had suggested that they might lead to controversy in the Sen- ate to the detriment of the bill. Senator Capper expressed the belief that this measure to improve the orig- inal traffic law was one of the most important pieces of District legislation before Congress and in making amendments the committee sought to |avoid proposals that might endanger its passage. Edward F. Colladay at- tended the meeting as spokesman for the Hotel Men's Association to re- quest the elimination of that section of the House bill which would pro- hibit taxicabs from having stands in front of Union Station and hotels.

The Senate was plunged into more than an hour of sharp debate over European uffairs _yesterday, when ! Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis- slssippi, called attention to observa- tlons reported to have been made to newspaper correspondents a few days ago by Ambassador Houghton, Half a dozen other Senators partici- puted, and there was both plainly spoken eriticism and vigorous defense of the American Ambassador to the Court of St. Jam . At one point Senator Gluss, Demo- crat, Virginia, lightened the weighty v demanding that there be “no secret ugreements” among Sen- ators. He referred to a brief whisper- ed conference hetween Senator Moses, Republican, New Hampshire, and Sen- ator Borah durjng a colloquy between the Idaho and Virginia Senators. Borah l!llu Secrecy. Senator Borah had made a point of “gsecret ugreements” among the Luro- pean powers at the time of the Locar- no public agreement, and declared that these were responsible in large measure for present conditions in Surope. The chairman of the foreign rela- tions committee pave it as his opinion that when Braz defled” the other nations and blocked Germany's entry into the counci! of the League of Na- tions xhe had silent support from the great powers A Senator ss sgaid Mr. Borah was getting into “the field of conjecture,” and the latter retorted that it was “not the field of conjecture, but the field of common sense. Interrupting the discussion, Senator Johnson, Republican, California, de- clared the American people had a right to know the facts about what is transpiring in Europe, and Senator Borah agreed with him. “On what theory are we entitled to know the facts?"' then demanded Sen- ator Glass, What right has Ambas- sador Houghton to be offering sug- gestions to other governments?” Borah Offers Reason. Senator “Borah replled that the United States was asked to join in a world disarmament conference and that it had a right to get the facts, for they must have a large bearing on the possibilities of disarmament. Senator Harrison opened' up the whole subject by charging Ambassa- dor Houghton with starting “‘a subtle propaganda” here at home to “tear down the work other men are trying to do.”” He sald he referred to the action of the Ambassador in calling newspaper - correspondents into the Sitate Department and making a frank statement to them about the European situation. Reports of such an interview have been spread far and wide, have cauped much comment - abréad, and have led ‘the State Department to de- clure in a formal statement that Mr. Houghton had not opened his mind about JFurope to “‘any unofficial per- son.” Senator Harrison did not at- | tempt to explain the incident entirely, {but he hinted that the Ambassador | might have made his observations in {the belief that his name would not be connected with them. Then, extending his attack to Prest- dent Coolldge and Secretary Kellogg, the Mississippi Senator suggested there must ve been xom onniv- ance between “Careful Cal” “Nerv- ous Nelly” and “Gloomy Gus. ‘ess Assails Harrison. used Senator Fess, Repub- who lampooned Senatoe critiging the Ambas- ss_conceded he had no information whether Ambassador Houghton gave a confidential inter- view to the correspondents, but added that he did not depend upon the press for his information. Senator Borah told the Senate that, from the brief interview he had with Ambassador Houghton, the facts as published did not differ from the plcture as it has been given by the press of Jondon, France and the United States. “There is no doubt as to the serious- ness of the situation as presented Ly Ambassador Houghton," Senator Borah said. “I doubt not at all that it was stated correctly, The Presi- dent and the Secretary of State had a right to know the facts., 1 wish the American people could have them, and without any trimmings."” This a licnn, Ohio, Harrison for sador, Mr. INDIANA DRY AGENTS BAN ROAD HOUSES TU. S. Officers Join Residents in Plea to Close Them, Following Arrests for Law Violation. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 23.—Federal offi- cers vesterday supplemented prayers by residents of Ridge Road communi- ties, in northeastern Indlana, for the closing of road houses of the district, when they ralded resorts in the dis trict with warrants for the arrest of 18 persons for Volstead act violations. Several weeks ago the Rev, L. G. Brown inaugurated a campaign of prayer for the closing of the resorts and the group which began praying with him grew steadily until several road houses closed voluntarily. The group had announced that it would not ask the help of civil au thorities, but would continue its pra ing campaign until the road houses wera converted into missions. Eleven men were arrested in the raids on 10 road houses, most of them in the vicinity of Lansing and Thornton. The liquor seized at one place filled a two-ton truck and so great was the weight that the truck broke down. PRAISES POLICEWOMEN. League Commission Sees Further Need of Protectors.

S. Pay Roll. Upholds Transfers. Taking up the battle in_behalf of Government employes und in defenss of his policies, Secretary of the Treas. ury Mellon has made prompt response to” the criticlsm of Representative Martin L. Davey of Ohio, who had attacked the Treasury policy in con- nection with forthcoming reduction of force, “You intimate,” suid Secretary Mellon in a letter replying to Mr. Davey’s communication, “that it is the Treasury's policy to keep 200 unless employes on the Federal payroll. It "seems to me that before a letter making such an in- ference is given to the newspapers you should have taken the precau tion to ascertain the facts. My order of March 6, 1926, from which it is obvious that the newspuper story you quote is taken, contains the following: “‘In view of the #e number of employes who will in all probability be involved in this reduction, it is es. sential that any such surplus em- ploves in the offices mentioned or elsewhere in the Treasury be given preference for appointment in flling positions in other bureuus und offices of the Department. ““With this purpose in view, and until further notice, no request for transfer from another department, reinstatement or selection from civil service certificate, will be approved until it is clearly shown that the posi- tion cannot be properly filled by transfer within the department.’ “You, of course, must recognize that many vacancies occur in any large body of employes and that es- sentlal positions which become vacant must be filled. The policy which I have directed be followed, that in filling vacancies in essential positions preference be given to employes whose positions are to be abolished, is one of fairness and justness to the employes and of advantage to the Government in that it retains the services of experienced persons. More- over, it provides for the employment of persons with homes already estab- lished in Washington, rather than to follow the uneconomic procedure of turning them out and filling such vacancles by bringing to Washington new and untried employes, with re. sultant unemployment here." Army Bill Approved. The House military committee yes. terday adopted a report by a subcom- mittee approving the War Depart- ment bill to authorize expenditure of $7,020,000 at military posts out of funds derived from the sale of surplus real estate, — tions made by the compan: tors are complied with.

CHICAGO, March 23.—Sympathles wrung by feminine tears will have no part in evaluating the heart balm for Marle Grischeau, who is suing Dr. Leonard Ensminger, Indian- apolls, for $50,000 for breaking his promise to marry her, Superior Judge Timothy Hurley ruled. “Lock up the jury,” the judge ordered when Miss Grischeau burst into tears while relating the story of her_love affair. “‘We are not going to have a weef- ing verdict in my court,” Judge Hur- ley told the woman's attorneys after { mother, No “Weeping Verdict” the jury was taken out. “Neither can a lot of sentiment be injected into the case to influence the jury. Unless your client controls her emotions in the presence of the jury, I will dis- miss the case.” The case was resumed heau wept no mo You are a natural born wife and she said Dr. Ensminger told her.

By the Associated Pres PHILADELPHIA, March 23.—To overcome a threat against white supremacy in the. Union of South Africa, more than 5,000,000 blacks fuce segregation, Eric Louw, commissioner of that country to the United States, safd yvesterday In an address before the Export Club. He also told of plans for deporting coolies to India | to relieve unemployment laborers. Mr. Louw said of white there were only abont 1,600,000 Kuropeans in the Union, while non-Europeans num- bered 5,680,000, and the scattered po- sition of the writes made the segrega- tion move necessary, he sald, to pre- vent an uprising. The plans call for “belts,” in which the natives will be allowed to live and work out their own destinies. : The problem of Indian coolles, the commissioner sald. was an aftermath of the war, many of them having been tmported as laborers during the European conflict. They have the choice of segregation or deportation, the government paying their pagsage to India and glving them a bonus in the event they select the latter course, according to Mr. Louw. 40 FlfiEMEN OVERCOME. 24 Families Driven Out by Gotham Tenement Blaze.
