RAIN 1S FORECAST FOR HALLOWEEN Capital Is Expected to Hold Gay Carnival in Down- town Streets. The Halloween goblin this year may come ridirg on & rain cloud, unless the Weather Bureau forecaster is wrong in his predictions. At any rate the city will don fts party clothes for the yearly festival under gray skies, which are likely to let loose their dampness on the merry- makers at any time. But the rumblings from the Weather Bureau have not caused any consia- erable slackening in the preparations for the gala night among the grown people with their many parties or that erson to whom the evening particu- arly belongs—the small boy. As a safeguard against his activities and the grown-ups who on this one night a year imitate him, Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of police, has issued his usual Halloween order to the force. It differs not a whit from the instructions of previous years. The order reads: “Members of the force are directed to be alert in safeguarding persons from annoyance and insult and property from damage and destruction. Motor cycle men, bicycle men and automobile patrols are hereby instructed to particularly actitve in carrying out these instructions and all men will make special effort to prevent the destruc- tion of street lamps. Innocent pranks will be permisted; the ringing of door- bells, throwing of flour, indiscriminate use of ticklers and similar devices and rowdyism of any character will not be tolerated. Members of the force will govern themselves accordingly. And if little boys and their older brothers are wise, they, too, will “govern themselves accordingly,” Maj. Pratt warns. Witches and their escorts, the gob- lins, will parade tonight, with blowing of horns and flying confetti, along F street, Pennsylvania avenue, Connecti- cut avenue, Georgia avenue and Four- teenth street, as well as in many other be | southwest, where more than 50 children, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1929. [INFANTS' LOSE PROVERBIAL f FEAR OF GOBLINS AT PARTY Evidence that even those in infant circles have gone modern and lost the proverbial fear of goblins, witches and jack o' lanterns was disclosed today at the annual Halloween party at the Neighborhood House, 407 N street ranging from 2 to 5 years of age, gathered. Two-year-old Edgar Poore, who makes his home at the institution, displayed his courage to the extent of selecting a spectral jack o' lantern for a seat. The children were told stories about Halloween by Miss Jeanette Holt, super- visor of the junior kindergarten section of the Neighborhood House, and Miss Louise Henderson, head of the day RUTH LEE BAILEY AND EDGAR POORE. Bold pirates, rabbits, clowns and the like sat around a large circle and lis- tened to the fantastic tales of how gob- lins will stalk the streets tonight and “get you if you don’t watch out.” Mothers of the children assisted in serving the Halloween feast and their offspring momentarily forgot = spooks and witches to center their attention on_corn candy and crackers and milk. The kindergarten of the Greenleaf Public School were guests of honor at :he celebration and arrived in full cos- ume. The feature of the occasion came when Miss Lena Bargehausen, super- visor of the craft department of the house, donned in the costume of the Halloween Witch, walked into the cir- nursery of the institution, and led the kiddies in songs and dances. cle of children and gave apples to the children. neighborhoods, if Washington takes the Ppractice of other years as a criterion. _The city will pour the repressed car- nival spirit of a year into an evening and tomorrow morning there will be work for the street cleaners. The principal social observance of the hallowed eve of All Saints’ day— to trace the festival to its source—- will be the bal masque at the Willard Hotel, where the merriment will con- tirue from early evening until almost dawn. The newspaper men of the city will frolic in the National Press Club ball room and the Legionnaires of the Dis. trict have been invited to the Marine Barracks, where the U. 8. S.

Asks Harmony on Tariff Bill After Talk With Presi- dent. Senate Applauds Johnson’s Statement Indicating Indianan’s Aim. BY FREDERICK WILLIAM WILE. Senator Watson of Indiana revealed himself as “Pighting Jim” in the Sen- ate today and dissipated all speculation as to his intentions regarding the Republican leadership of that body. Here and there, since the Hoosier veteran’s necessity to leave Washington for a period of recuperation in Florida became known, it has been suggested that his days of Senate captaincy were numbered. It was mooted that Wat- son’s trip to the South would be under- taken more for political than physical ‘The Sage of Rushville made 1t un- mistakaby7 plain, in the npening hours of this forenoon’s session, that he has no thought of reliquishing the G. O, P. leadership. He did not specifically say so0. But his whole manner, whicn was By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 31.—With a dinner last night and & cgnvocation afternoon or: the library, to be atl by the 1~ dents and other representatives of uni- versities all over the country, the cele- bration of the 175th anniversary of the founding of Columbia Uriversity is drawing to a close. Twelve hundred persons attended the dinner at the Hotel Pennsylvania. The speakers were: Judge John Foster Symes of Denver, ’03 Law School United 1, States district judge for Colo- rado; Dr. Henry Suzzalo, former presi- dent’ of the University of Washington, and Michael L. Pupin, professor of electro-mechanics. Judge Symes said that unless the law schools of the country performed the task of turning out men properly qualified to take jprominent parts in public and_political life “the job will some day be performed in a manner reminiscent of the French Revolution.” He asked for a more sympathetic un- derstanding by the East of the political and economic thought west of the Mis- sissippl River. “’I?he West is concerned chiefly with problems of agriculture, live stock and mining in its various forms, transpor- tation and the development of the pub- lic domain,” he said. “As a result, the economic and political Mason and Dixon line of teh Civil War no longer exists. A new one now runs North and S.uth following the Mississippi River.” GERMAN DEBT PLANS ALMOST COMPLETED Draft of Agreement Under Young Pact Must Yet Be Agreed Upon. \ The preliminary draft of the agree- ment which the United States will pro= pose to Germany to provide for direct payment to this Government of Ameri- ca’s shre under the Young plan has virtually been completed by officials of the Treasury and State Departments. The question has been tentatively dis- cussed between the American embassy in Berlin and the German foreign of- fice and active negotiations are expected to begin shortly. Since the United States is not to be a party to the Young plan, which will replace the Dawes plan for the settle- ment of German reparations, a separate agreement between the two countries to provide for direct payments of Ameri- ca’s claims, which are but a small share of the total amount, must be nego- tiated. The agreement, upon signature by the two governments, will be sub- mitted to both the Senate and House of Representatives for final approval. RANDLE CITIZENS ELECT NEW OFFICERS LIRS ociation Moves to Protest Speed- ing of Motorists Along Min- nesota Avenue. Milton Collins was elected president of th. Randle Heights Citizens' Associ- ation at a meeting held in the Orr School. R. Robinson was named vice president, C. A.

Appeals For Harmony. Senator Watson, in what was to be his valedictory before deserting the Senate for an indefinite period, made a fervid plea for harmony on the tariff bill. He did not refer to it again as a “hopeless mess”—the terms he used in a statement earlier this week—but he did not conceal that matters are in virtual deadlock. He appealed for “a meeting of minds” between the agri- cultural Northwest and the industrial East, which would enable the passage of some kind of a tariff measure at this session. But ‘there was exclusively plea, and nothing of confidence, in his speech. The one positive note, and Watson struck it with emphasis, was to prevent it, there will be no adjourn- ment of Congress until a tariff law is enacted and sent to the President for his approval or disapproval. The G. O. P. leader acknowledge that he was in conference with Mr. Hoover last night, but informed the Senate that he came away without asking whether the President would or would not veto any bill that comes to him from Capitol Hill. Watson's visit to the White House revives interest in the contention, in- termittently heard in Washington, that Hoover and responsible Republican leadership in the Senate have never es- tablished as cordial an entente as is de- sirable. Watson himself is not on record 20 this effect, but some of the Old Guard are. They instance the President’s ignoring of Watson’s advice not to in- terfere in the Hawley-Smoot imbroglio. Within a few hours after the Indianan had assured the Senate that he did not believe Hoover would wade into the fray came the White House suggestion on the flexible tariff. It has been sug- gested that the majority leader smarted under this “rebuff” and the leadership resignation gossip of this week was di- rectly connected with it. Whether Wat- | son advised today's presidential thrust on the tariff situation, when he con- ferred with Hoover last night, has not been disclosed. Coalition Has Whip Hand. No “majority” leader in the Senate since “Fighting Bob” La Follette's bloc has weathered the storm and stress which “Jim” Watson has had to face. He “commands” forces in nominal con- trol of the Senate by a dozen votes and more, but which flout administration { polictes with gay abandon. That the Western Republican insurgents, acting in alliance with the Democratic minor- ity, have definitely obtained the whip hand and are in_mood to use it ruth- lessly is now freely acknowledged. Sen- ator Watson's speech this forenoon amounted to a plaintive appeal to the coalition to “have a heart” and remove from the Senate the stigma of being *‘an incompetent and impotent legislative body.” Watson knows that the troubles of G. O. P. leadership in the upper house are likely to become worse, rather than better. election in 1930 is in danger of defea while some increase in Democratic Sen: ate strength is a strong probability. ‘That “Jim” Watson’s health is under- mined and that his condition has been aggravated by current events in the Senate is known to all his intimates mess” have actually caused him sleep- less nights during the past few weeks.

Besides the expressed opinions on the elective board, Mrs. Fred T. DuBof formed the meeting that several groups had declared themselves in favor of a department of education, headed by a secretary, who would be aided by a council of nine or more members of his own choice. Oscar H. Brinkman, former clerk of the Senate District committee, was elected corresponding secretary of the joint committee during the business session last night. Mrs. William T. Bannerman, president of the committee, presided. Speakers were assigned to address parent-teacher or other civic ups in the interest of the Capper- Zihlman bill, which provides an elective school board. Americans Save Hotels. American tourists saved many hotels in England from closing during the Summer season. Many report that every night their hostelries were filled, mainly on account of the large number of American visitors.

District hunters are oiling tReir shot- guns, putting out their blinds and pur- chasing their shells preparatory to the opening of the duck-hunting season to- morrow. The season will run for three months, closing January 31. Indications point strongly toward an unusually active opening, with plenty of game sighted along the Maryland and Virginia shores of the Potomac River, promises of favorable weather and record number of hunters preparing f0% the shooting. Sporting goods stores today reported brisk_sales of hunting equipment and say that many newcomers will join the ranks of the veteran marksmen when they swing into action early Friday morning. Rivermen See Many Flocks. Virginia rivermen have seen a good many flocks of ducks over the Potomac River south of Alexandria, especially in the vicinity of Gunston Hall, near Mount Vernon, and also in the Broad and Hunting Creeks sector. A large number of blinds have beea placed in the creeks south of Alexandria and there is considerable speculation re- garding thelr location with regard to each other. The duck-hunting laws pro- vide that blinds must be separated at least 500 yards {rdm each other. Some seen along the Virginia and Maryland shores are much closer than the law permits. 1t was learned here today that an airplane had been seen chasing the ducks in the vicinity of Broad and Hunting Creeks from their deeding grounds and a number of complaints have been heard. It is a violation of both the Maryland and Virginia game laws to frighten the ducks from their feeding grounds and a vigorous effort will be made by both Maryland and Virginia game wardens to stamp out such practice on the part of aviators. Patrol Is Established. A Potomac River patrol has been es- tablished by the Virginia Game and Fish Conservation Commission with .the purchase of a htch-&awered speed boat which will operate shallow water. ‘The boat been placed in charge of W.
