DONOVAN RULES AGAINST | 11TH STREET SEWER PLAN Bids Required for Such Work as a Rule, But Day Labor May Be Used on Urgent Portions. An order passed last week by the Comissioners authorizing J. B. Gor- don, sanitary engineer, to construct a new sewer in Eleventh street from Pennsylvania avenue to New York avenue, when it is widened, labor, was held to be illegal v by District Auditor Daniel J. Donovan. The lowest bid for the work was in excess of $17,00i~@nd when Mr. Gor- don advised the Comm rs that he could get it done for § ordered to save the money. Maj. Dono- van told the Commissioners, however. that the organic law of the District stipulates that projects exceeding certain sum in cost must be adver t1sed and bids taken. If the bids ap- pear excessive, he said, the law pro- vides no other recourse than readver; tisement. The procedure was objected Mr. Gordon, becius with men and matel project. He feared that a delav would be ocasioned if bids w tised, and that the work would not be completed when the street work starts. Through & compromise asreement, the sanitary engineer w d to construct the most urgent section of the project as an emergency. New proposals from contractors will be asked for the remainder of the work. to by Harry Lauder is playing his fare- well engagements in Europe, and plans to spend his remnaining days in Scotland fishing. | been’ delayed by | terms { pu | Standards ie iroublesome Latin American quarrel between Chile and Peru, which the United Statds attempted to arbi. trate, and the settlement of which has the inability of the parties concerned to decide upon the f a plebiscite, which was to the nationality of the dis- has token o new learned t week that Perti and Chile have “accepted the good offices of the United States for the settlement” of the It has not been made c this means, but quarters that may diplomatic means substituted.

Lieut. John A. Macready's attempt two weeks ago to take the world alti- tude flight record away from its pres- ent holder, Lieut. Jean Callizo of France, has failed.

The French pilot's record was 39,586 feet, Following closely the successful flight of a Spanish aviator from Spain to South America, it was announced last week that an Itallan aviator, Marquis Centurione, soon is to attempt a flight from Rome to Buenos Aires nd return by way of New York. The contemplated trip would cover 30,000 miles, Congress. Wet and dry hearings, with full publicity, are now assured by the vote last week of the full Senate judi- clary committee, which adopted the report of its subcommittee providing for 12 days of public hearings divided equally between the ‘“‘wets" and the “drys. While preparations are being made for these hearings, which begin April 5. the sporadic debates on prohibition and those charged with its enforce- ment continued in the House and the Senate. In the House Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodiet Church, was ittacked as a liar by Representative O'Connor of New York, who ques- tioned the truth of an assertion he sald Dr. Wilson had¢ made to the ef- fect that before prohibition “'the rum element was in control of Congress™ and that the chief duties of the ser- geant-at-arms of the House was to “walk members up and down and get the drunks to their homes." Senator Edwards of New Jersey, one of the leadings wets in Congress, offered a joint resolution last week providing for a referendum on the prohibition queston. The referendum would give to Congréss the necessary information to exercise appropriately it legislative powers under the eighteenth amendment, and is de- signed to show particularly whether the people want a modification of the law to allow light wines and beer. When the American Ambassador to Great Britain, Mr. Houghton, re- turned to this country recently for conference with the President and the Secretary of State, he snoke frankly to newspaper men about con- ditions in Europe. and his remarks, abroad, created considerable discussion. Last week the Ambas- sador was made the target for attack in the Senate by Senator Pat Harri- son of Mississinpl, who declared that he was starting a propaganda de- signed to tear down the work of other men in Europe. He alluded to the newspaper reports to the effect that Mr. Houghton painted a rather pessimistic plcture_ of conditions abroad.

Winston Churchill, chancellor of the British exchequer, and Phillip Snowden, former chancellor, attacked the debt settlements in the House of Commons last week and declared that the United States wus responsible for | the debt difficulties by refusing tc cel foreign obligations. The attucks only drew a smile from Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, who reiterated his former statements that such a thing as debt cancellation was im- practicable so far as this country fs concerned or fair to Amerlcan bond- holders. Senator Smoot, addressing the Senate, defended the Italian debt settlement. He asked the Senators not to make “a political foot ball out of the debt settlements. Secretary o Commerce Hoover sounded a’ real appeal and painted : graphic picture of the automobile traffic problem when he opened the annual sessions last week of the Na- tional Conference on Street and High- way Safety. He estimated there are more than 6,000 persons now living who would have been dead except for the heroic measures taken last year by bodles allied with the conference to protect human life and property. He outlined the purpose of the conference as being an effort to devise and recom- mend measures which will reduce the accidents in thjs country, which counted for the death of 23,900 persons last year and the injury of approxi- mately 600,000. While the new revenue law was ex- pected to reduce tax receipts mate- rially, the Treasury has estimates that receipts for March will be $43i 000,000 under the new law. This is an increase of about $25,000,000 over the receipts estimated some time ago. March receipts last yvear were: $441,- 000,000. ORGAN RECITAL TONIGHT. Edgar Priest to Continue Series at St. Agnes’ Church. / Edgar Priest, organist of the Wash- ington Cathedral, will give a’ program of organ music at St. Agnes’ Church, 46 Q street, this evening at 8 o'clock. This is the fifth in a series of seven recitals to be given this season. St. Agnes' Church is not a large one and until this season has not made any attempt to draw musicians and music lovers of Washington to it. With the installation of the new organ, the vestry decided to try- a series of recitals, and they regard the experlment as highly successful. Tt has been decided to continue this every season, from November till June. Mr. Priest will play for the fisst time In Washington Heinrich Gotze's “Tywo Melodies,” as well as works by Schubert, Corelli, Karg-Elert and Bonnet. NAB ‘HIT-AND-RUN’ DRIVER John McAmiss, 304 C street, who says he was once a prohibition en- forcement officer here, was arrested by Policemen Shimkezy and Schlosser of the ninth precinct yesterday after- noon after a sensational chase along H street northeast on charges of col- liding and failing to stop. The policemen were at the corner of Fifteenth and H streets northeast | when an automobile which they al- | lege was operated by McAmiss crash- {ed into a truck of the American Ex- press Co. and pushed it into the side of a small coupe owned by Eddie Savoy. After this collision, accord- ing to the police, the machine bumped over an electric light pole nearby and went winging on its way. Policeman Shimkezy commandeered an automobile and Schlosser com- mandeered another and chased the fugitive ‘machine down H to Twelfth street northeast, where they overtook the car at Wylie street.
