(From yesterday's 5:30.) Supplemental estimates for District projects amounting to $1,674,000 were submitted to the House yesterday by President Coolidge, transmitting Budget Bureau recommendations. These will be included in the District appropriation bill, which is expected to be reported to the House next Monday. Chairman Simmons of the subcom- mittee drafting this appropriation bill said yesterday that all of these supple- mental items will be paid out of 1930 revenues and that there still will be left approximately $1,000,000 to take care of deficiencies and other emer- gencies that may result from subsequent legislation. Inclusion of this additional budget has resulted through the initiative of the subcommittee on District appro- priations, which, during the hearings, developed the fact that appropriations were not being made to the full amount i of District revenues, and then started an investigation to find out what addi- tional District projects could be under- taken with this surplus. Conferences with the Budget Bureau have resulted in submission of the list sent to Congress yesterday. In the course of this investigation it was brought out that the District Commissioners in submitting their esti- mates to the Budget Bureau had pre- sented a supplemental list which was | Tejected by the Budget Bureau bzcause it provided for more jobs, salaries and general maintenance expenses. ~‘The Budget Bureau intimated that if the District Commissioners would submit a supplemental list of new projects for Capital developments they probably would receive favorable consideration, $35,000 for Library. The list includes the following items: For the Free Public Library, $35,000 for a branch library in the Northeastern section of the city as the most urgently needed item in the library’s extension program. This branch library, ‘when completed, will serve almost 100,000 persons, the Budget Bureau reports. For street and road improvement and repair, $205,000. ll)fl"?n- many years the store yards and shops of the Highway Department have been located on United States territory in the center parking of Canal street, between Second street west and South Capitol street. This property was transferred to the director of the Botanic Garden. The Botanic Garden THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. Heads Shriners EDWIN C. DUTTON. DUTTON S ELECTED ALIAS POTENTATE Masonic Order Installs New Officers at Ceremonies Held in Temple. Edwin C. Dutton, Washington attor- ney, was,elected potentate of Almas Temple, Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and with other officers of his divan was installed at ceremontes last night at Masonic ‘Temple. ‘The other officers are James C. Hoyle, chief rabban; Robert S. Reger, assist- ant rabban; J. T. Prendergast, high priest and prophet; Edward D. Ander- son, Oriental guide; Frank E. Ghiselli, treasurer; F. Lawrence Walker, re- corder. Representatives to the Imperial Coun- cil next June at Los Angeles will be George B. McGinty, retiring potentate; Potentate Dutton, Recorder Walker, James C. Hoyle, and Leonard P. Steuart, imperial marshal of the Imperial Council. Officers appointed by the new poten- tate include: First ceremonial master, Harlan development requires the early removal of the Highway Department shops to another location. The purpose of this estimate is to provide for removal of these shops to the Bryant street pump- ing station and to make certain other desirable economical arrangements for servicing, repairing and housing auto- mobiles. It is proposed to consolidate the shops of the Highway Department with those of the Water Department at the Bryant street pumping station. In or- der to accomplish this, provide for the repair of the Highway Department's automobiles at the District automobile repair of the Highway Department's pumping station and provide housing for those automobiles, the estimates in- clude $40,000 for an addition to the District automobile repair shop; $135,- Wood; second ceremonial master, Wil- liam C. Miller; marshal, George F. Hoover; outer guard, David J. Roberts; inner guard, Robert J. Bell, and captain of the guard, Frank A. Birgfeld. The new officers were installed by Leonard P. Steuart. The master of ceremonies was Past Potentate L. Whit- ing Estes. MEASURABLE SNOW LIKELY NEXT WEEK Temperatures Expected to Drop To- morrow—Ice Skating and Sled- 000 for a new garage and $30,000 for shop construction and removal of equipment to the new location. The ad- ditional construction will be on land already owned by the Government. ‘Would Move Garage. It is contemplated that the garage Department, in buildings and on the grounds of the Gallinger Municipal Hospital, shall be moved to the Bryant street pumping station. For repairs to Anacostia River Bridge $120,000 is carried. This bridge was built in 1908 and consists of six steel arch spans and a draw span. The road- way, 35 feet wide, with 2-foot sidewalks, carries two street car tracks. The asphalt surface of the floor has rolled so that in places the curb height is reduced to 1 inch. This is a very in- adequate protection to vehicular traffic and the railing is not of sufficient strength to safely withstand the impact of modern traffic. The entire floor system is in need of replacement at a lowel level to provide an increased height of curb. For buildings and grounds for the public schools $255,000 is included. Columbia for the fiscal year 1930 were under consideration, it was proposed that an addition be constructed at the Park View School to relieve crowd- ed conditions and also to provide a pla- toon type of school organization. This plan contemplated the closing of a considerable part of Otis place north- west, but objection having been made by the property owners affected, no ac- tion was taken pending a further study of the matter. A plan has now been prepared which will provide for the construction of the necessary additions at the Park View School without the necessity of closing any part of a street. It is the purpose of this estimate to provide the necessary funds to carry out this plan. $120,000 Project Proposed. Another buildings and grounds proj- ect for the public schools calls for an appropriation of $120,000. The Buchan- an School is a 16-room building lack- ing the usual combination gymnasium and assembly hall. The enrollment in this and adjoining schools is such as to make necessary the early construction at the Buchanan School of four addi- tional classrooms. The purpose of this estimate is to secure an economical con- struction program by combining the ad- ditional classroom construction with the construction of a gymnasium and as- sembly hall. Another project in school building and playground sites calls for an ap- propriation of $100,000. The purpose of this estimate is to provide land for the construction of a junior high school in the Northeast section of Washington. When the five year school-building pro- gram was submitted, it was thought that junior high school facilities for colored pupils in Northeast Washington might be provided through extension of the facilities at the Lovejoy School. However, the situation has changed so materially with regard to the number of pupils of junior high school classifi- cation in Northeast Washington that it is now considered necessary that a separate and distinct junior high school building be constructed to accommodate children of junior high school age in that section. Still another school building and playground sites project calls for an ap- propriation of $9,000 to enable the Commissioners to purchase parcels of land in a narrow wedge-shaped strip between the present athletic field and the alley back of R street northeast. This alley is the natural boundary of the McKinley High School athletic field and will be a necessary thoroughfare to and from the grounds, and the in- tervening strip should, therefore, be a part of the field. For salaries for the District Supreme Court, $10,000 is provided. This is to pay the salary during the fiscal year 1930 of the additional justice, whose appointment was authorized by the act of December 20 last. ding Anticipated. ‘Weather Bureau predictions of & drastic change in the present mild tem- perature, which will begin to drop to- morrow afternoon, gave rise to antici- hnson: Chevro- |and shops of the Trees and Parking|pations of a measurable snowfall next week, There is a possibility that the cold wave that is gradually spreading East of the Mississippi River and which will envelope Washington and the North will furnish a brief period of ice skating if not sledding. Impressions that the first snow is unusually late this year were dispelled by Weather Bureau officials today. They pointed out that the first meas- urable snowfall last year was on Janu- ary 28, but when it did snow then it was a 10-inch depth. There have been traces of snow dur- ing the early part of this week, it was reminded, but no official record is kept unless at least one-tenth of an inch of snow is upon the ground. During the Winter of 1926-27 an inch of snow was recorded on December 15, but the preceding Winter it was January 8 be- ore there was a measurable fall. So there is nothing unusual in the fact that there has been no snow-balling as late as January 18 of this year. It is going to get much warmer for this time of the year before tonight, the Weather Bureau said, but tomor- Tow afternoon the cold snap will fasten its grip upon the city. It is not ex- pected to be as cold as last week, how- ever. By Sunday afternoon, ear muffs will be useful for warmth. The cold snap, however, will not be of long duration. by CHIEF JUSTICE McCOY ELECTED HEAD OF CLUB Harvard Group Selects Slate of Of- ficers for Year at An- nual Meeting. Chief Justice Walter I.

Schwenk, 29 years old, of | 1447 East Capitol street, to have kid- naped him Tuesday night and taken him to Penns Grove, N. J., were return- ed to Washington today by Head- quarters Detective Frank A. Varney jafter a delay of more than five hours ! caused by the train wreck near Aber- | deen, Md., last night. Varney, accompanied by Policewoman P. F. Ferrill and his prisoners, were on a train behind one of those involved in the crash. The three persons are said by police to be Elmer Kyle Altizer, 31; his wife, Sadie Christinia Altizer, 22, and Mary Helen Wozniak, 21, all of Penns Grove. They were brought to Washington on a warrant charging abduction, but are being held on the technical charge of investigation, the man at the first precinct and the women at the House of Detention. All three are said to admit going to the New Jersey city with Schwenk, but deny forcing him to drive them there at the point of a gun. A gun was given to Varney by County Detective Robert W. Kidd of Salem County, N. J., who arrested them, and the Washing- ton detective was told that it was taken from the prisoners. Schwenk has identified the gun as the one pointed at him during his allegedly forced ride. Schwenk charged that he was hailed by one of the women shortly before midnight Tuesday at Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue and asked to take her {0 her home in Hyattsville, Md. She and her two companions got into his car when he consented. Near Hyattsville, he alleged, the man drew a gun and forced him to drive through Baltimore and Wilmington and finally to Penns Grove. Varney was delayed by a ferry boat on which he was traveling from Phila- delphia to Wilmington running aground near the latter city, as well as by the train wreck. He was forced to go ashore and complete the trip to Wil- mington by automobile. He left Wilmington at 10 o'clock last night and should have arrived here at 12:20 o'clock this morning, but his train did not reach Union Station until 6 o'clock. NORRIS DECLARES EMBASSY EMPLOYES (Continued From Firsf his liquor. I doubt the validity of such a claim as to liquor in a public place. “I desire, for public purposes, the amounts of liquor imported by consular and diplomatic officials. We may watch them drink, but unless you tell us we may not know how much they drink.” Criticism of Secretary Mellon also was resumed by Senator Norris on the proposal to make $25,000,000 ment. Referring to Mr. Mellon's recent sug- gestion that a survey should be made to determine how the extra money should be spent, Senator Norris said the Secretary might fairly be judged “a falure” if after eight years in office he is ready only for another survey. He suggested that perhaps Mr. Mellon should not be judged too swiftly, be- cause he was “not in sympathy with prohibition.” Partisanship Blamed. Asserting that a fair attempt to en- force prohibition had not yet been made, that such an attempt was made. If after an honest effort to carry out the law, it is shown to be a failure, he cald Congress should not hesitate to make changes. Senator Norris blamed “partisanship” for the falling down of enforcement. Senator Norris read testimony by Mrs. Mable Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General, in charge of prohi- bition violation cases, that Secretary Mellon had appointed a Mr. Littleton to prosecute prohibition cases in Penn- sylvania, involving bribery, without her approval and over her protest. The appointment of Littleton, Norris declared, resulted in a move to nolle prosse the cases, which was denied by the presiding judge. “If this demonstrates anything,” the | Nebraska Senator said, “it demon- strates that there has not been a fair attempt to enforce prohibition, that the money we have appropriated has not been properly and honestly used.” Mills' Article Cited. Reading from a magazine article by Chester A. Mills, former prohibition administrator for New York, Senator Norris said that Mills had shown that the “pressure of partisanship was so great that he was required to submit a roster of his employes to the politi~ cal bosses.” ‘The article purported to tell of a conference between Mills and Lincoln C. Andrews, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in which Andrews di- rected Mills to “make peace with the politicians.” The article also said that Charles D. Hilles, Republican national committeeman for New York, had called Mills into conference and that later Mr. Hilles had protested to Presi- dent Coolidge against the Mills admin- istration. e oo HAINES FALLS DEAD AFTER WARM PLEA AT BOGTH COUNCIL _(Continued From First Page.) | this afternoon.

Information from the council chamber was to the effect that there was a scene of great commo- tion as soon as it was learned what had taken place in London.

ORGANIZERS OF REPUBLICAN CLUB Above, left to right: Senator Dale and former Representative Mondell. Lower: Former Senator McCumber. REPUBLICANS PLAN NATION-HIDE LUB Washington Chosen as Home—First Meeting to Be Held Next Friday. Organization of a National Republican Club in Washington, sponsored by Re- publican leaders from all sections of the country, is about to be launched. Washington, as the Capital of the Nation, has been selected as the home of the proposed club. It is to be na- tional in character, not local. An organization committee, composed of Senator Porter H. Dale of Vermont, former Representative Frank W. Mon- dell of Wyoming and permanent chair- man of the Republican national con- vention in 1924, and former Senator P. J. McCumber of North Dakota, has been working out the details of the proposed club for several weeks. First Meeting Called. ‘The first meeting, for discussion of the purposes of the club and for forma- tion of a temporary organization, has been called for Friday, January 25, at 8:30 p.m, in the Carlton Hotel. It is to be open to all Republicans interested in the project. Members of the cabinet, | other high Government officials and members of the Senate and House will be in attendance. Chairman Hubert | Work of the Republican National com- mittee is to open the meeting, and it is expected that Ogden Mills, Undet- secretary of the Treasury, will preside as temporary chairman. Already the plan for a National Re- publican Club in Washington has been approved by a large number of promi- | nent Republicans, including the Vice President-elect, Senator Curtis of Kan- sas, Secretary of State Kellogg, Secre- tary of the Navy Wilbur, Secretary of Agriculture Jardine, Postmaster Gen- eral New, Secretary of Labor Davis, Secretary of Commerce Whiting, Sec- retary of War Davis and Secretary of the Interior West. Senator Watson of Indiana, prospective Republican leader of the Senate; Senator Burton of Ohio, Senator Shortridge of California and Senator Capper of Kansas are among the Senators who have signified their approval of the projected club. The purposes of the club, set forth by the committee on organization, de- clare that: “Because Washington is the Capital of the United States, in which Con- gress, representing States in the Union, assembles and performs all its legis- lative functions, and in which are lo- cated all the executive departments of the Government, it 1s therefore the political headquarters of the country, and per se the city above all other cities which should have a Republican National Club.” Building Ts Proposed. 1t is further stated by the committee that the proposed club should be the Republican party headquarters, where active members of the party from every State may find a temporary home when visiting Washington. It is proposed that the club shall have a building of its own, with adequate offices for the Re- publican national organization, and a meeting place for other Republican or- ganizations. The building for the club, it is urged, should be of a “proper size and dignity” and should compare favorably with like clubs in the im- portant cities of the country. Phila- delphia and New York have Repub- lican clubs which have a wide mem- bership, not only among their local Republicans, but members from other parts of the country. In addition to members of Congress, Federal officials and local Republicans who have given their approval to the project, & number of members of the Republican national committee, in addi- tion to Dr. Work, have signified their support of the plan for a National Re- publican Club, which shall have for its purposes the advancement of the Re- publican party and its principles of government. The club is not designed, it is said, to act as an influence upon legislation before Congress, but merely for the purpose of strengthening the party or- ganization throughout the country. Mrs, Alvin T. Hert, Republican national com- mitteewoman from Kentucky and vice chairman of the national committee, is among the committee members who have indicated their approval of the club. Other members of the national committee who have joined in with the movement_are C. C. Hamlin of Colo- rado, G. B. Skipper of Florida, F. J. Graham of North Dakota, J. Matt Chil- ton of Kentucky and Frederick S. Peck of Rhode Island. A long list of members of the House also have signified their intention of supporting the proposal.

Ga., January 18.—Contra- dictory testimony regarding the mental status of George G. Harsh, former | college student, on trial for the murder | of a drug store manager during a hold- up here, was before the jury today as the trial drew toward a close. Harsh is a member of a wealthy Milwaukee, Wis., family. ‘Ten alienists have testified to various | complexes, ‘“uncontrollable impulses” and the general state of the former uni- versity student’s health and mind, while three State psychiatrists yesterday testi- fied that they found Harsh normal. The youth is charged with killing Willard Smith, 24-year-old drug store manager, during a hold-up October 16 last. Dr. J. L. Campbell, Atlanta specialist testifying for the State, described Harsh as Intelligent “as the average college boy.” Under cross-examination, Dr. Campbell said that he “did not consider a murderer a normal man.” “Well, then do you consider Harsh a | normal man?” the defense asked. Called Not Normal. “No,” the physician said after some hesitation, “he si not normal.” Dr. Campbell, however, declared that his | examination led him to believe Harsh | knew the difference between right and | wrong. | Harsh was described as a “normal boy | of unusual intelligence” by Dr. E. C. Thrash; first defense specialist. The physician said he found not untoward incidents in Harsh's case until he was 14 years old, when he began to use alcohol. Under cross-examination a doctor said physicians were all at sea regarding mental diseases, but that he considered the profession “‘as far along as it could get in the science of mental diseases.” Dr. W. A. Arnold, Atlanta practitioner, called by the State, declared he believed | Harsh understood the difference between | right and wrong. Ten Specialists Testify. Each of the 10 specialists testifying for the defense has declared Harsh did | not understand the difference between iright and wrong, and Dr. Frank S. | Eskridge, Atlanta specialist, testified he is a “cqnstitutional psycopath,” unable to resist his impulses. | Dr. Young H.
