The first blow was the issuance by the Board of Supervisors of Arlinston County of a permit to the Auth Pro- vision Co. for erection of the plant, over the protests of the Arlington County Civic Federation and other civic bodies. The board gave its sanc- tion after representatives of the Auth Co. had declared that the plant would not become 2 nuisance. Denies Odor Theory. The civie objectors contend that it is impossible to build an abattoir so close to large highways and in prox- imity to future park developments without it becoming objectionable by reason of the obnoxious odors and unsightly conditions attending the slaughter of animals. Questioned sterday regarding these contentions, John Auth, an official of the company, declared th there will be “absolutely no odors” and that the unsightly conditions Teared will not exist. The plant, he said, will be housed in a $200,000 1wo-story modern structure and will ‘be used for the purposes of killing and dressing_hogs, cattle and other live stock. The stock will be kept in sanitarv cattle pens prior to being slaughtered, he stated. “They won't know there are any hogs there except for hearing their squeals now and then” Mr. Auth swd. Construction of the plant, which is to be located on the north side of the Columbia pike, a few hundred feet from its intersection with the lower road to Alexandria, will start within a week or two, it ‘was asserted. Permission Is Necessary. In deciding to issue the permit, the Moard of Supervisors also adopted an ordinance making it compulsory for all persons desiring to erect “abat- toirs, soap factories, fertilizer plants or junk plants” to obtain formal per- mission of the board.

SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O., FEBRUARY 20, 1927—PART 1 $10,000,000 TUNNEL TO BE LONGEST IN WORLD; RAILROAD BORES 8 MILES THROUGH CASCADES Above: General view of mountain through which 1,000 men are sinking the shaft. Below: Scenes of the drilling through solid rock. Special Dispatch to The Star. PORTLAND, Oreg., February 19.— Rapid progress is being made in the construction of the huge tunnel that the Great Northern Railway is dig- ging beneath the summit of the Cas. completed, it will not only be the longest tunnel in the United States, but will, if no unexpected delays are encountered, be completed in record time. Three vears were set as the time goal for making this eight-mile bore, through which transcontinental trains of the future will speed on an easy grade, but that period will prob- ably be shortened and the tunnel in use by Thanksgiving day, 1928. | Heavy grades and excessive curva- ture are obstacles on the present line nated by the tun- Seven and one-half miles will <0 be clipped from the Great North. ern’s route across the Cascades, and the running time will be reduced ma- terially. AS a result, economy in op- eration will be achieved, which is ex- pected to more than make up for the £10,000,000 than the tunnel will cost. Safety Another Reason. Safety is another objective that in- spired the launching of this gigantic tunnel project. Several miles of sno sheds parallel the existing trackage that is to be eliminated. These sheds are a source of constant expense and frequent annoyance. Besides, the! banking snows that drift against them when Winter comes with its heavy snowfall in the Cascades are always a menace A constant force of 1,000 men is now delving into the Cascades at the east- ern and western ends of the tunnel. The western portal is at Scenic, Wash., and the eastern at Berne, al- most exactly eight miles in a direct line. The grade between them is 1.565, or 13 feet to every 100. This is in marked contrast to the steep incline by which the railway winds about and crosses the Cascades summit at present. It means an easy pull for freight and passenger trains over this difficult section of the Great Northern system. Unusual Features Encountered. Some unusual features have been encountered in_the bullding of this gigantic tube. It passes under several peaks which rise to an elevation of 6,000 feet. A gorge, known as Mill Creek Canyon, lies between two of these peaks. In order to simplify the tunnel project it was decided to sink a shaft in Mill Creek Canyon to the tunnel line, bisecting it about 214 miles west of Berne. This shaft gives an extra inlet for tunnel construction. ‘Water, air and power lines also enter through this shaft to provide the es- sentials for operation. The building of the Mill Creek shaft itself was a task of no small propor- tions. Its dimensions are 8 by 24 feet and it was sunk to a depth of 622 feet. Material excavated from the tunnel is brought to the surface by motor- driven lifts that travel at a speed of 900 feet a minute. The cold statistics of the tunnel job are themselves of interest because of their staggering proportions. One million cubic yards of rock must be removed and 5,000,000 pounds of dynamite will be used to blast it loose from its age-old foundations. One million sacks of cement, 5,000 carloads of gravel and 4,000,000 feet of heavy fir timbers will be required to line the tunnel and protect it from the pos- sibility of falling masses of earth and rock. Machinery of Latest Type. Modern methods have done no less for tunnel-building than they have for other types of construction work. A comparatively few years ago it would have been impossible to put through this job in anything like the time that it will be done. It was started on February 8, 1926, and its comple- tion next vear will be due to the fact that every mechanical device used will be of the latest type. It is a pertinent reflection that a half century ago it took 10 years, from 1872 to 1882, to bore the St. Gothard tunnel through the Alps, al- though the St. Gothard is only 8,000 feet longer than the Great Northern. The Great Northern tunnel will be much longer than any other in this countr; Next to it is the Moffat tunnel in Colorado, completed in 1923. This is a little more than six miles long. The little mountain communitles of Berne and Scenic are humming with activity as the tunnel construction proceeds. They are populated entire- ly by tunnel workers and their fami- lies. Only men of great strength and endurance can engage in such an oc- cupation. It is not a pleasant life, for they work in near.darkness and with the gloom and the dampness of the mountains’ depths about them, LEGION TO BETOLD FRENCH DEBT VIEW “Broken Mugs” Head Hopes to Make U. S. Veterans Propaganda Agents. By the Associated Press. PARIS, February 19.— Patriotic Frenchmen plan to give the 30,000 American Legion members a short, intensive course in the “truth about the economic condition of France” and the war debts when the veterans come to France next September. Col. Picot, head of “the Broken Mugs,” back from the United States, says that Americans think France but that he proposes to give them a new view of the country and new ideas about the war debts | by sending them on & thorough, per- conducted and authentically tour of the devastated sonally lectured regions.

Fritz Reiner, conductor of the Cin- cinnati Symphony Orchestra, who was here about a month ago as guest conductor with the Philadelphia Sym- phony Orchestra, brought his own or- ganization here for a concert last night at the D. A. R. Hall, which wi received with much enthuslasm by the hardy souls who attended in spite of the weather. The program, made up of four works by Czechoslovakian, Hunga- rian, Russian and Italian composers, was an interesting study of variety and individual treatment of different national themes in music. The or- chestra, under the military precision and clean-cut exactness of Mr. Rein- er's leadership, responded with mar- velous attack and co-ordination in the presentation of the shaded tonall- ties of the various work Smetana's overture to “The Bar- tered Bride”” was the opening number. There was an exquisite quality to the pianissimo work in the overture. It was Bartok's “First Buite for Orchestra, opus 3" that seemed the high light of the evening. It is a most colorful work written before his more modernistic trend and full of rich melody and not .a little sugges- tion of reminiscences, or influences on the young Hungarian's style at that time. The introduction is a brilliant martial dance; the second movement suggests Stravinsky in its style; the third has restrained syncopated ef- ts with some very pianissino pas- res; the finale is a modern mazurka and gives a vivid finish to the worl The third work was Stravinsk “Song_of the Nightingale seemed the least attractive nu the program. Evidently, this work was substituted for the previously an- nonnced Richard Strauss, “Thus Spake Za:usthustra,” which was not given. The finale was Alfredo Casella's “Italia,” a rhapsody that is as patri- otic as Mussolini himself and as ro- bust in bringing out the real folk melodies that are easily recognizable to the audience.

GOOLIDGE “Listens In” as Artists Ap- pear Personally for Radio Hospital Fund. Mrs. Calvin Coolidze, an enthusi- astic radio fan of long standing, was among those who “listened in' yester- day afternoon at the Washington Auditorium when a group of distin- guished radio artists appeared in per. son to entertain some of their hitherto unseen admirers. The concert, for the benefit of the Washington radio hospital fund, was not largely attended, but those who braved the inclement weather felt well repaid, judging fron: the applause. And Mrs. Coolidge was just as demon- strative as the remainder of the audi- ence. The program was repeated last night. Artists Who Appeared. The artists, who were presented by Nation: Broadcasting Co. and ham McNamee, popular sport cl announcer; Miss Gladys Rice, Winifred . Barr, Geniu Zielinska and the irrepressible “Smith Brothers.” Miss Rice sang very pleasingly Friml's “Love Everlasting” and sev- eral other songs, but she won most applause for her rendition of “Pain in My Senwdust” and “Little Yaller Dog. " Miss Zielinska, a soprano, won pro- longed applause for her singing of the Aria from “La Traviata,” “Ah fors ‘e lul,” and of “The Lass With the Deli- cate Air,” an old English folksong, As an encore she gave “Annie Laurie.” Miss Barr Accompanist. Miss Barr, accompanist in the WEAF studio, played selections from Schumann, Rubinstein and Chopin. « “Trade” and ark,” the Smith boys, otherwise known as Messras. Lambert and Hillpot, regaled the house with their harmonizing num- bers, not least popular of which was their famous ‘“whiskers song.” The “brothers” were forced to respond to numerous encores. Mr. McNamee was obliged to cur- tail part in the program because of an attack of laryngitis. . A new method of extracting ofl from grape seeds has been discovered by French chemists.

DISTRICT MEASURE TO BE SENT TO CONFERENCE THIS WEEK (Continued from First Page.) thought Congress should be on the safe side by allowing half of the num- ber asked for, since the schools will reopen in the Fall three months be- fore Congress reconvenes. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon- tana, joined in the debate to inquire what steps are being taken to relieve congested conditions in the local school system, which results in many chil- dren being restricted to half a day of instruction. “It seems to me,” sald Senator Wheeler, “this is one place in_ the United States where we ought to have better schools than are to be found anywhero else, or, at least, schools that are equal to those in other places.” In support of the contention of the Senate committee that there should be a thorough survey of all conditions in the school system, Senator Phipps cited the following illustration to Sena- tor Wheeler: Points to Oyster School. He sald the new Oyster School was planned partly to relieve congestion at the John Eaton Building. Senator Phipps declared the hearings on the bill show there is room at the Oyster School for 129 pupils that is not being used today. Puplls who should be go- ing there are still attending the Eaton School, he said. “‘One reason being,” Senator Phipps continued, “that in the Oyster School, although there is avallable space and they have the teachers, no facilities have been provided for seventh and eighth grades, and the John Eaton School is overcrowded because it has to take care of those 129 puplls.” Senator Wheeler replied that he did not know whether the problem was one to be et by appropriation in Congress or whether it was a question of efficiency in the school system. Benator Phipps sald the committee wishes to determine whether it is a questlon of efficlency in management and whether proper management will enable the force of teachers the com- mittee provided for to take care of the number of pupils in daily attendance. Heating Plant Fought. The school system came in for fur- ther discussion when Senator Cope- land, Democrat, of New York, made an unsuccessful attempt to amend the bill to prevent the Commissioners from erecting the heating plant of the new McKinley High School on the corner of Second and R streets north- east, contending such a structure should go on the interior of the large site instead of on a prominent corner. A point of order made against his amendment was sustained by the pre- siding officer. At this point, however, Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, took occasion to declare too much was being spent for this heating plant. He further declared the city is not getting enough out of the sums being spent for school construction, and ad- vocated an investigation into the ques- tion of school building program. Senator Copeland announced he would not appeal from the ruling of the chair, but thought the adoption of the plan to put the heating plant on a corner of so desirable a site was “outrageous." Senator Copeland also made an ef- fort to increase by $256,000 the item of $90,000 in the bill for maintenance of the shade-tree system of the. city. Senator Phipps sald that while he could not accept the amendment in this bill, he would support Senator Copeland if the latter would ask the Commissioners to submit a supple- mental estimate to be considered in the last deficlency bill. Senator Cope- land agreed to this course, explaining that his purpose was to enable the city to replace some of the 3,000 dead trees standing in existing lines. Sena- tor Copeland reminded the Senate that the beauty of the National Capital de- SUN RALLIES ARMY FOR FINAL BATTLE TO SAVE SHANGHAI (Continued from First Page.) wl;h their departments over the week end. ‘The precise plans for meeting emer- gencles necessarily are a military se- cret, but it is understood that the military command of the Shanghai de- fense force and the naval command in the China station have a free hand, restricted only by orders to avoid military or naval action except if British lives are directly threatened. Situation Is Delicate. The delicacy of the situation can be realized by the fact that most of the 8,000 British residents’ homes are situ- ated outside the settlement where the British forces have been forbidden to operate, and concentration of all the residents within the settlement is al- most impossible. It is understood that in case of an emergency the police first will en- deavor to handle the situation, calling on International volunteers, if they need assistance, and in the last resort the landing forces. The British troops now in Shanghai will be the first to go into action if British lives are endan- gered by the partisans of either of the Chinese factions struggling for pos- session of the city. The British government, however, still clings to the hope that the Can- tonese foreign minister, Eugene Chen, and Gen. Chiang Kal Shek will come to an understanding with the British charge, Owen O'Malley. U. 8. PROTESTS ATTACK. Canton's Notice Drawn to Coolie Mob’s Treatment of Luten. By the Assoclated Press. An attack made on Lieut. John F. Luten of the American Navy by a mob ot Chinese coolies at Chungking Thursday, has been formally protested to the Cantonese government by the American consul general and the com- missioner of foreign affairs at Chung- king. A report reaching the Navy Depart- ment yesterday from the commander of the Yangtze patrol sald Luten, mis- taken for a British officer, had been struck a number of times on the head and knocked down and his clothing torn before he could be rescued. The incident followed an attempt by the Chinese mob to board a British ship for passage up the Yangtze River, which was prevented by the guard on the H. M. S. Cockchafter. Incensed, the coolles attacked Luten, who is at- tached to the American gunboat E} Cano as medical officer, while he was walking along the river on his way to the hospital. Armies Are Concentrating. The Shantung armies, allied with Marshal Chang Tso Lin, northern war lord, were reported to the Navy De- partment yesterday to be concentrat- ing in the Shanghai region. Admiral Willlams, commanding the Asiatic fleet, advised the department of reports that 37,000 men were mov- b, o el KLEEN-HEET From Coal and Worry to Bl e Kleen-Heet Sales Co. 1013 12th St., Phone Main 7886 pends largely on its shade trees. Sena- tor Phipps assured the Senator from New York he, too, was interested in preserving the trees and pointed out the new allotment of $90,000 is an in crease of $12,000 above the last ap- propriation. Reward for Attacker's Arrest. On motion of Senator Blease, Demo- crat, of South Carolina, the Senate adopted without debate an amend- ment making $1,000 available for in formation leading to the capture the man who attacked Mrs. Daisy Welling in the Capitol grounds Friday night. Senator Phipps agreed to the request of Senator Bruce, Democrat, of Mary- land, to restore the House provision for the paving of Thirty-eighth street from Alabama avenue to Suitland road and Suitland road from Thirty-eighth street to the District line. All other committee amendments eliminating certain streets and insert ing others, as published last week, were approved by the Senate. All of these eliminations and additions in the street paving list, however, are still subject to change in the report of the conferees. Salary Allotment Increased. On motion of Senator Jones, Repub- lican, of Washington, the Senate struck out the House restriction which would have prevented the Commissioners from spending District funds to put up street car loading platforms and light them. For the Traffic Department the Sen- ate increased the salary allotment from $19,360 to $28,640 and the lump sum for lights, signals and other markers from 1009 to §75,000. Under the school bullding program the Senate added authority to pur- chase land in the vicinity of the Har- rison, Crummell and Park View Schools. With regard to the last two sites, the Senate allowed special exemption from the limitation against paying more than 25 per cent in ex- cess of the assessed value, The Sen- ate also lifted the assessed value lim- itation in the case of the athletic field for Western High School and made the old appropriation for that pur- chase continue available for another year. Except for these particular ex- emptions, the price limitation clause of last year remains in the bill. ‘The Patterson tract contains 81 acres, but in providing for its pur- chase the Senate stipulated that the park commission could reduce the area to be acquired if it deemed such a course advisable. Of the $600,000 made available for this project, the Senate directs that half of it shall come from the talance in the Dis- trict’s old surplus fund. $1,200,000 for Parks. The bill also carries the lump sum of $600,000 to be spent by the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission, so that if the FPatterson tract amendment is sustained in con- ference the measure will carry $1.- 200,000 for extending the park system of the city. The Senate retained the item for continuing the widening of Connecti- cut avenue as far as Dupont Circle, but struck out the House provision to carry the widening project from Dupont Circle to Florida avenue. During debate on tha bill yesterday Senator Copeland told Senator Phipps he had been informed tnat while Gal- linger Hospital has an elevator, it is not in condition to be operated. He said if his information is correct some- thing should be done, declaring an elevator is essential in a hospital. Senator Phipps said that was a mat- ter for the Commissioners should handle. The increases made on the floor of the Senate yesterday amounted to $220,750. The Senate committee had previously added $640,430, so that the total sum added to the House bill was $861,180. ing by sea to Pukow, where 30,000 al- ready have been stationed. Despite an outbreak of strikes in Shanghal, officially reported today, in celebration of the victory of Cantonese forces at Hangchow and Ningpo, Washington officials are hopeful that serious menace to Americans and other foreign nationals there will be averted. Presence of foreign warships and troops at Shanghal is expected to exert a quieting influence. Should disor- ders occur, however, Admiral Willlams has full authority to use Marines and bluejackets to protect Americans and their property. Co-operate With British. The American forces probably would co-operate with British or foreign con- tingents in reinforcing the police of the international settlement and the Shanghai volunteers to preserve order. The transport Chaumont, with an ad- ditional regiment of Marines aboard, is due in Shanghai Thursday. Observers here doubt that any neces- sity for protecting the city from an attack will arise. The chief danger ‘would be from incidental rioting and looting during the period while mili- tary control i3 passing from the hands of the northern forces to the Canton- ese should the Cantonese drive toward Shanghai be successful. Avaflable foreign forces are ample, it is said, to control mobs until incoming Chinese military authorities were able to estab- lish their own control. -— NAMED BANK RECEIVER. G. L.

Necessity of facing the Chinese sit- uation without prejudice and with an eye to present-day realities was stressed yesterday afternoon by Dr. Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, the Chinese minister, guest of honor and principal speaker before the National League of American Pen Women, which met at the Mayflower Hotel. “The Chinese people feel that the burden of foreign mterference is too heavy to bear,” Dr. Sze declared, “and threatens thelr very existence as a nation. “The solution of the Chinese prob- lem by the powers, the placing of their relations with China on a firm and lasting basis, can be brought about only by a frank and unqualified decla- ration at once on the part of the powers regarding the termination of all the unequal treaties and the nego- tlation and conclusion in their place of a new treaty or treaties on a basis of equality and reciprocity.” Cause of Resentment. Dr. Sze described the sentiment in China as “a practically universal feel- ing of resentment and indignation that the Chinese people have not re- ceived from the powers that just and fair treatment to which they are en- titled.” Action must be taken without de- lay, he sald, and stated that “the time has come for the immediate and complete removal by the powers of their interference and control in China's domestic affairs.” Contending that the powers have admitted publicly that treaties made in the past with China are “anti- quated and unpracticable” and that che Chinese demands for independence are just, Dr. Sze inquired as to the reason of the hesitation of the powers “to fulfill the long-overdue pledges and promises.” Rights of Foreigners. “Foreigners in China may be ai- vided into two classes, namely, mer- chants and missionaries. If for the time being it may be difficult to practice everywhere what they be- lieve, nobody can refuse or deny them the opportunity of living a Ch: life in the midst of the Chinese people, thereby serving Christ. “The merchants, as the new Brit- ish minister to China said recently, only desire to come to live and trade in China in peac: a— PRINGE OF GREEC HERE FOR MASS Christopher to Participate in Requiem Services for Royal Famil;.
