The reported contemplated removal of its landing whart and tracks, with the filling-in of the canal basin to follow, 18 said to foreshadow the final abandonment of the Chesapeake and Ohlo Canal as far as the boating of coal is concerned.

LONDON, June 13.—How widely the foibles of the Prince of Wales for sar- torial effect are watched and copied has just come out at a meeting of bus- iness men discussing trade secrets. It was related that the heir to the throne on one occasion was seen wear- ing a bright Fair Isle sweater. Over- night this fact created an enormous demand. The hand knitters on Fair Isle, way up in the Shetland Islands, off the coast of Scotland, suddenly were so swamped with orders that some of them had to be turned over to Donegal knitters. Then Leicester manufacturers evolved a machine, which made a fine imitation of the pull-over, and a Euro- pean demand followed which kept the machines going day and night for months. 679,410 WAR CASUALS WHOLLY DEPENDENT Large Percentage of German Sel diers Forced to Look to Gov- ernment for Support. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, June 13.—There are 679,- 410 casuals of the World War who are wholly dependent upon the fed- eral government for support. They are so badly maimed or diseased that their earning capacity, if any, is less than 26 per cent of normal. Included in the total are 1,150 women, chiefly former Red Cross nurses. The war ministry, which publishes the statistics, calls attention to the fact that 86 per cent of the incapaci- :ated wers more than 30 years old anen they entered the service. Nearly 20 per cent are now over 50. In the provinces of Hessen and Nassau the war casuais total 2.2 per cent of the entire population, and in Vavaria, 1.4 per cent. Students Save School Costs.

Special Dispatch to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., June 12.— James E. Steele et al. of Hyattsville have filed in the Circuit Court for Prince Georges County at Upper Marlboro a suit against the Washing- ton Suburban Sanitary Commission asking that the increase made a year ago in front-foot sewer and water as- sessments by the commission be set aside on the grounds that they are illegal. Judge Joseph Mattingly has ordered the sanitary commission to show cause on or before July 15 next why the increase should not be can- celed and set aside. Ceasar L.

C, JUNE 13, Current NeWs_ Events Summary of'_Important National, Foreign and Local Affairs Specially Arranged for the Convenience of Students.’ ‘With the League of Nations’ lead- ers determined to get Germany into the league at all costs, despite the opposition of Brazil and Spain, which have been opposing Germany’s en trance on the ground that her mem- bership in the league council would place them in the secondary rank of powers, the counci convened in Geneva last week. The meeting was marked immediately by the “sulky’ attitude on the part of Spain and Brazil, and finally by Brazil's with- drawal from the council with the pos- sible intention of withdrawing later from the League of Natiors. The op- position of Spain and Brazil to the classitication of Germany in the league accounted for the faflure of efforts of the March meeting of the council to agree on a plan of reor- ganization tor the council, which would come with Germany's member ship in the league An international dispute which sev- ral times threatened to bring on a war between Turkey and Great Brit- ain, has been settled amicably. Last week representatives of the two coun- wrles signed an agreement brought ut by the League of tions through which the Mosul reglon is awarded to the Kingdom of Irak, which is under a British mandate. United States Senator -Borah has tsked that an inquiry be made into L ulleged granting of large conces- 1 British interests on the Isth- the Panama government. he Panama government, however, s let ft be known that it does not w any inquiry, as the concessions ave been granted to a private Eng- lish company in no manner connected with the British government, the con cession being for the exploitation of wineral resources. . The administrative committee of the Iederal Council of Churches de- clares that compulsory military train- inx in schools and colleges is “foreign ¢ the ideals and aims of our educa- tonal system.” In recommendations miade by the council last week a seri- ous study of the question by the churches of the country is urged. While it was merely an interesting coincidence, the War Department at the same time made public figures showing the growth of the Reserve Ofticers Training Corps. Nineteen universities and colleges and thirty- five high schools had applied for the R. O. T. C_units, but are unable to be supplied because of insufficient funds The United States has evidently failed in its effort to settle the dispute between Chile and Peru over the provinces of Tacna and Arica through a plebiscite which would record the wishes of the voters who live there. Chile has refused to guarantee fair voting conditions, and the American chief of the plebiscitary commission, Maj. Gen. as introduced resolution declaring that a plebiscite is impossible. Efforts to settle the long-standing _ dispute probably will be directed through other chdnnels it is stated The Budget Bureau last week sent recommendations to Congress for an appropriation of $350,000. for repair to the White House, and it became known that the repair work may necessitate the President's living in other quarters for possibly six months while they are under way. No sug- gestions have been made public as to the possible location of the ‘tem- porary White House,” as it will not be necessary until next March 4 During the British general strike check for $2,000,000 was received Moscow by the Trades Union to be used to help the Strikers. It was declined and sent back to Russia. Later the money was offered divectly to the striking Miners in Great Britain and accepted. The money, according to the Russians, had been contributed by the Russian miners, but according to British of- feials who discussed the matter last week in Parliament, it was not sent from Russian miners but from the Russian government. The British government, therefore, sent a sharp Hote of rebuke to the Soviet govern- ment last week warning it that such actions were meddling in internal af- fairs in Great Britain with the hope of bringing about a change in gov- ernment, Such interference is in vio- lation of the Anglo-Russlan treaty, it was stated. a from Congre Jefferson Meyers of Oregon was nominated last week for the vacancy on the United States Shipping Board caused by the resignation of Bert E. Haney. Mr. Meyers is a Democrat and a former State treasurer of Ore- gon. He was recommended to the President by Senator McNary, Repub- lican. The ngregational Church at Tenth and G streets, now known as “the Presndent's church” because of President Coolidge’s membership, was forced to close its doors last week be- cause of weaknesses in the building Which rendered it unsafe for public assemblage. The congregation has been seeking to build a new church for some time. The closing of the structure now standing probably will hasten the construction of the new edifice. Congress. An amazing tale of political cor- ruption in Pennsylvania began to un- fold before the special Senate investi- gating committee last week, which has been authorized to inquire into ex- penditures in primary campaigns, and which started with the Pennsyl- vania campaign. Witnesses placed on the stand described the expenditures of hundreds of thousands of dollars in behalf of the various candidates and how this money, in many cases, could be accounted for vote by vote. One estimate places the amount of money spent in the campaign at more than $1,000,000 in behalf of the three senatorial candidates and their run- ning mates—Vare, who was_elected; Pepper, who was deprived of his pres- ent seat in the Senate, and Pinchot, who failed to receive the nomination. The investigation will be continued, but its result is problematical. A subcommittee of the House com- mittee on the District of Columbia, after an investigation extending over two months, has reported on its find ings concerning Commissioner Fred. erick A. Fenning and various insti- tutions in the District. Recommend- ing a more thorough investigation of the District by_a joint committee of the House and Senate, the committee declared that its work has only “gcratched the surface.” the conclusion, however, that. Com- missioner Fenning’s continuance in office is not compatible with the best interests of the District of Columbia, althougl refraining from recommend- ing any action toward his removal. The committee mentioned many al- leged irregularities on the part of va- rious other District officials ~and pointed to faults found in the admin- istration of some District institutions. Remedial legislation has been framed in some cases. President Coolidge was entirely within his rights in issuing his recent executive order authorizing the em- ployment of State officers as prohibi- tion enforcement agents, according to the Senate judiciary committee, to which the question was referred for report. The order caused a storm of criticism.-on -the _part. of some con- % It reached | gressmen who contended that it was illegal and anh infringement upon State rights. Officlals of the Treasury Department countered ‘with the as- sertion that it was entirely voluntar wished to take advantage of it. order was designed for use in fornfa, which had requested permis- sion to use its State officers to assist "ederal officials in enforcing prohi bition. California declined to take ad- vantage of it, however, because of the wide criticism, and the order is apparently useless. A bill providing appointment of ad ditional Federal judges in nine State was passed by the House last week nd sent to the Senate. Chairman Graham, of the judiciary committee, explained that prohibition was the chief cause of the legisletion, the dockets of the courts being so swamped that 1t impossible to conduct court business in certuin sec tions. ’ The Senate District ‘commitiee, which last Winter sought to learn from coal dealers in Washington wh: thelr profits were, and was refused information from many of them, ha asked the Department of Justice to inform it how to go about obtaining this information. Some of the co: dealers have questioned the right of the Senate to examine their books Economic. For the first time since the the Government will be able to meet its obligations which fall due June 16, the end of the quarter year, with out having to borrow more mone: the Treasury Department announce last week. = Securities reaching in walue a total of $330,000,000 fall due June 15, it was announced, but there is enough money on hand to pay them, with a balance sufficient to finance the Government through the Summer until September. The public debt is thereby reduced more than $300,000,000, due to increased receipts from taxes and other sources over the Treasury’s expectations war A plan was proposed by the Anieri can_Statistical Association last week to forestall periods of extensive un employment by the collection of all statistics relating to employment from State and Federal bureaus every month, thus enabling employers to watch the and fall of employ ment, and thereby fo forecast wide- spread unemployment months in ad vamce and to initiate movements off- setting its effects. The Government has begun in earnest on its big building program, 1o be completed in five years and which will provide needed Government struc tures to house Government activities in‘all parts of the count Fifty million dollars will be spent in the National Capital, and plans are al ready made for the buildings to be ereoted here. The money has not been appropriated, however, and the actual work on the buildings cannot start until the House appropriates the funds, which it will do in passing the last deficiency measure. Buildings to be started in Washington this year include an Archives Building, in | which will be housed valuable records of the Government: a Department of Commerce Building, the present struc ture housing thisx department being rented; a new home for the Internal Revenue Bureau; enlurgement of the present Liberty Loan Building and completion of the Department of Ag- riculture by joining the two wings of the main building. now standing It is useless at this time, according to Senator Smoot. chairman of the Senate finance committee, to attempt to predict further tax reductions. Nothing definite along such lines can be known until the operation of the 1926 revenue act has been studied. The Senator’s statement was made in reply to questions asked him on the floor of te Senate concerning recent predictions by some newspaper writ- ers to the effect that another tax re- duction would come about next year. Politics. One of the most interesting of the primary campalgns came to a close in Towa last week when former Senator Smith W. Brookhart was nominated by the Republicans of that State for the United States Senate, defeating the present incumbent, Senator Al- bert B. Cummins. The victory of Senator Brookhart, an out-and-out in- surgent, is variously interpreted a slap at the administration and as a natural expression of dissatisfaction over the inability of the administra- tion to enact farm relief legislation, for which the farmers of Towa have been pleading. One political writer expressed the situation picturesquely by declaring that the farmers and many of the business men of Towa who have been hard hit by the agri- cultural depression ‘determined to throw a brick through the window at Washington_and picked Col. Brook- hart as the brick.” United States Senator James W. Wadsworth of New York has burned his bridges behind him and is enter- ing the race in New York for renom- ination carrylng a “wet” banner and flaunting it in the breeze. Threat- ened with opposition from the drys in up-State New York, the Senator was asked last week to state his position on the liquor question. He did so by demanding repeal of the eighteenth amendment and substituting the sale of liguor by the Government in Stutes which desire it. He declared that pro- hibition has ‘“‘deluged the country with hypocrisy and corruption” and that ttotal abstinence through legal com- pulsion is impossible of attainment.” Former Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio has decided to enter the race in Ohlo to secure the Democratic nom- ination for the United States Senate, and should he succeed he will prob- ably compete at_the polls next Fall against Senator Willis, Republican of that State. This contest is expected to bring another “wet” and “dry” fight to the polls, as Senator Willis is a dry and Senator Pomerene, if he is Tot classed as a wet, is known for his “liberal” views on the subject. Senator Pomerene voted against the eighteenth amendment to the Consti- tution. Senator Lee Overman of North Carolina, who has represented his State in the Senate for the last 23 years, again has won the nomination in his State over an opponent. Nom- ination in North Carolina is usually conceded as election. Educational. Another successful test to deter mine the winner of the national ora- torical contest was completed last week when Herbert Edward Wenig of Los Angeles, Calif., defeated six other contestants representing all parts of the United States. This year Mr. Wenig, as winner of the Ameri- can contest, must compete for inter- national honors with orators chosen from foreign countries, the contest to take place in October. s Bees Kill Bear.
