THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBEE_ 15, INPPROVED SCHOOL STREETS URGED Takoma Park Citizens Seek Betterment for Paul Junior School. Improvement of thoroughfares lead- | ing from Takoma Park to the new Paul Junior High School will be urged by the Takoma Park Citizens' Association as | the result of action taken Jast night at ® meeting held in the Takoma Park | branch of the Public Library. | It was pointed out that the new high school will be ready for occupancy | shortly after the opening of the new year and that at present streets ap- hing the school are not improved. 'o_provide proper facilities, the im- provement of Eighth and Peabody streets will be requested at the earliest Possible date. Disappointment was expressed at the failure of the District to pave Whittier street from Fourth street to Piney Branch Yoad, Aspen street from Blair road to Piney Branch road and Fifth street from Aspen to Van Buren street. In a report to the association, Burt W. An- drews, chairman of the street commit- tee, said appropriations had been made for these thoroughfares, some as far back as three years, but that paving had been delayed due to sewer con- struction. ‘The abatement of the smoke nuisance by trains of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will be taken up with the Dis- trict Health Department. S. E. Blassingham and Lieut. Col. John A. McAlister, U. S. A, retired, ‘were elected members of the association. The association will take up with officials of the Washington Public Library the matter of returning books from the main library building through branches. Mrs. Alenca Lamond advocated the extension of the present bus line from Petworth north to Takoma Park.

LOUI October 15 —"Even- | handed justice” is sought by the rail- roads in the competition between the facilities of the rail carriers and inland waterways operation, R. H. Aishton, president of the American Railway Association, said in an address before the Associated Traffic Clubs of America, meeting here today. He declared the railroads are not opposed to the development of inland waterway transportation if ‘“econom- fcally justified,” but they are opposed the Federal Government entering into competitive transportation opera- tion with therg. Aishton named three things objectdd to by the railroads: First, the Government entering into competition; second, where the competi- tor is relieved from important items of operating cost, and lastly, to the method of making rates by the Government barge line operation. ““There is, for example, & 20 per cent reduction from the corresponding rail rate given the shipper by the barge line,” Aishton said..“This is well and if the barge line absorbs all of differential in rate, but when it seeks and obtains such a division of rates a8 will compel the rail carriers inter- changing traffic with it to absorb a part of that differential, it becomes an unfair situation.” He declared “it should be clearly noted that the rail carriers are now making an earnest effort to adjust themselves to actual operations to the inland waterway policy of Congress and have adopted and are now employing to th:‘r;, end practices of substantial co- n. “If and when competitive conditions are made fair and equitable, the rail carriers will be found co-operating with any operation upon the inland water- ways and willing to take their chances on an even-handed basis with any com- gtluon that may arise. They expect offer competition on a fair basis. They demand that their competitors shall likewise be fair and just.” Leguia’s Horse Wins Derby. By Cable to The Star.

FILIPINO FREEDOM FORECAST BY KNG Utah Senator Holds to Assur- ance Issue Will Be Con- sidered Later. By the Assoclated Press. Promised Senate disposition of the long-recurrent issue of Philippine inde- pendence during the regular session is regarded by Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, as tantamount to a vote for their autonomy. As an issue complete in itself—which it has not been since 1916—an inde- pendence bill is to be considered at the December_session as the result of its ineffectual injection into the tariff ds bate twice at this special session. Ef- forts were made to obtain action on the problem in 1924. At the special session two proposals which would have led to independence for the islands were defeated on votes regarded as not representative of opin- ion on the issue, but rather as intended to rid the tariff controversy of this rider. Quezon to Head Group. Acting today, the Nationalista, or ma- jority party of the Philippines, and the Philippine Independence Commission approved the creation of a new inde- pendence commission, to be sent here early in November. It is to be headed by Manuel Quezon, president of the in- sular Senate. This follows the action taken by Chairman Bingham, Connecticut, of the Territories committee, in promising to hold hearings on a bill by Senator King, with a view to reporting it to the regu- Ia: session, when the Utah Senator in- troduced the subject in the tariff de- Senator King, who has champloned successive legislative sessions, said he had “every assurance” the bill would come up for discussion early in the De- cember session. Believes Passage Sure. “What's more,” he added, “I think we'll pass an independence bill through the Senate.” The last action taken was in 1916, when the Senate passed a bill author- izing the President to grant the islands independence within four years. Then, bearing President Wilson's indorse- ment, it went to the House, where it was defeated. In its stead a bill de- claring the intention of the United States to grant independence ulflmlle-l ly was made law. Representative Garner of Texas, House Democratic leader, concurs in the opinion of Senator King. Demo- cratic support generally is thought to be_assured by party policy. While Senator Bingham agreed with them that it is time for action on the question, he ventured no forecast as to the_outcome. “I stand pledged to get a report on Philippine independence out of the committee early in the regular session,” he said. “I believe something definite should be done about the Philippines. They need capital out there and have small chance of getting it until their political destiny is decided one way or another.” Foul Tip Kills Spectator. By Cable to The Star.

MANILA, October 15.—Based on the understanding that the question of Philippine independence is to be con- sidered at the next session of Congress, a new Independence Commission will be sent to the United States early in No- vember. The Nationalista, or majority party, at a caucus today decided upon such a mission. Later the Philippine Inde- pendence Commission, composed of members of both the Nationalista and Democrata parties, approved the cre- ation of a subcommittee to organize an independence campaign. The new mission will be headed by Manuel Quezon, president of the in- sular Senate. An_ indefinite resolution, introduced in the House last night, pro- posed that the mission be composed of three Senators and three Representa- tives, but the Democrats contended the party should include others besides politiclans and suggested that the ag- ricultural, industrial and educational elements of the country be represented. Quezon, who is in China, is expected to return here shortly. ‘The revival of the independence campaign resulted largely from the amendment to the tariff bill of Senator King, Democrat, Utah, which would have given the Philippines their inde- pendence after a Philippine constitu- tional convention had set up a form of government for the islands. Filipino leaders are convinced by the closeness of the vote by which the amendment was defeated and by the fact that some Senators voted against the amendment because it might interfere with the tariffl measure and not because they were opposed to independence, that a strong independence sentiment now prevails in Congress and the time is op- portune to press the issue. The Senate last night-adopted a resolution thank- ing Senator King for introducing his measure asking * for Philippine inde- pendence. U.S. IS SEEN.VAS FACTOR FOR FRANCO-GERMAN AID PARIS, October 15 (#)—The idea that the United States can be a helpful factor in promoting Franco-German understanding and collaboration was broached here yesterday at a luncheon given in honor of Dr. von Prittwitz, German Ambassador to the United States, who is returning to Washington from a visit home. M. Marcel Knecht of the Paris Matin was the host and American Charge d’Affaires Gordon was among the guests, who included several officials of the foreign office, important personalities in the political world and in the uni- versities, and leaders of French in- dustry. M. Knecht's speech brought out the growth of co-operation between Ger- many and France. He said he believed that the United States could be an im- portant aid in promoting such a, feel- ing, which was happily replacing the old idea of enmity. Sentenced as Counterfeiters.

Chief Justice Sir Fien- nes Barrett Lennard sentenced Robin- son to seven years' imprisonment and De Pass to e‘“‘ years.

By the Associated Press. BRIAR CLIFF MANOR, N. Y, Oc- tober 15.—The eventuality of a world court of appeals was visualized by the Institute of International Law at its thirty-sixth annual conference here yesterday. Possibllity of establishing such a tribunal to take cognizance of appeals against decisions of international arbi- tral courts where conflicts arise over rules_applicable to international law will be studied by a special committee of the institute during the coming year. General satisfaction over the growing tendency of all nations to confide their disputes to an impartial tribunal was expressed by the institute, whose mem- bers include many of the leading jurists of the world. The need of determining the power and jurisdiction of these arbitral tri- bunais was placed in first importance by the institute, however, and the ques- tion of fixing the extent and the modes of the obligatory competence of inter- national jurisdiction will be foremost Will Rogers Says: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., October 15—That was a mighty fine thing of President and Mrs. Hoover going clear to Philadelphia to see that base ball game. Base ball is still and always will be our national game. It requires more brains, more practice and more real skill than all others put together. Its the only game when you see it played you know whether the ones playing it are being paid or not. There was 20 million base ball fans that listened to the world series that knew every play made, and why, and how it was made. But still don’t know whether Harvard is a town or a mouth wash, whether Yale. is a yell or a lock, and think all Notre Dames are churches. So, viva base ball.

KANSAS CITY, October 15.—An im- | passioned plea by several members of the Milk Producers’ Association of Kan- sas City for cessation of the violence which last week marked the Kansas City milk strike apparently had brought at least a temporary peace today to nearby highways, which only two days ago were the scene of vandalism and gunplay.
