4wk THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1929. IDONALD UPHELD ON SOVIET ISSUE | Commons Favors Resumption| of Soviet Relations, 324 to 199. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November Labor premier, J. Ramsay Macdonald, has been upheld by the Commons in the first major question of foreign pol- ey to reach a vote. A poll of 324 to 199 last night fa- wored resumption of diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia on terms agreed upon by Arthur Henderson, minister for foreign affairs, and Valerlan Dov- galevsky, Soviet Ambassador at Paris. The Liberals supported the govern- ment solidly, while three Conservatives, sncluding Lady Astor, American-born peeress, deserted their leader, Smnle)‘} Baldwin, to back Mr. Macdonald. Amendment Is Rejected. The vote followed debate, in which Mr. Baldwin offered an amendment de- ploring the “faflure” of the new Labor government to maintain the conditions which the preceding prime minister (himself) and forelgn minister had laid down for Tesumption of relations. The amendment was rejected by the same vote, 324 to 199, before the vote was taken on the motion of Arthur Henderson for reinstatement of the Soviet Union in Britain's good graces. Diplomatic ties with the Soviet were severed in 1027, after a raid on_the Tondon headquarters of Arcos, Ltd., Soviet trade organization, which was caid to have proved charges of espi- onage and propaganda by Russian Communist agents in Great Britain. Exchange of Envoys Next. Exchange of Ambassadors will be the next step in fulfillment of last night's Tote and is expected to follow immedi- | ately. Negotiations will then be begun for settlement of outstanding questions between the two nations, probably in- cluding drafting of a new trade agree- ent. b Victory for the Labor government now is forecast also in its second test of strength, which may materialize to- morrow with interpellations on the re. cent statement of Indian policy by Lord Irwin, viceroy of India. U. S. POLICY NOT AFFECTED. State Department Views Decision of Commons as Internal Issue. Secretary Stimson said today he did not belleve the decision of the House of Commons favorable to resumption of re lations with Russia would have any ef- fect on the non-recognition policy of the United States. The Secretary added that such de- eisions abroad had not had any effect on American policy in the past. Officials here generally interpreted the Commons decision as more of an internal political question in England At the present time than an interna- tional one. They believed it merely dicated a desire on the part of the Lib- erals not to see the Labor government defeated on the Russian issue at the resent time. It was added that the Eenenn expectation of an increase in Anglo-Soviet business as a result of a Fesumption of relations might have been an encouraging feature to the Lib- erals in supporting the Laborites, BLEASE ADDRESSES RALLY OF RED MEN {ells Gathering He Will Sponsor Any Project to Establish Su- _ premacy of Capital. In an address at a grand rally of the Improved Order of Red Men last night in Pythian Temple, Senator Blease of South Carolina offered to sponsor ary, project that might estab- lish the supremacy of = Washington among the capitals of the world. Following an _invocation service by W. C. White, J. E. Baker, great sachem of the District of Columbia, who pre- sided at the meeting, addressed a formal welcome to Senator Blease. The address of Senator Blease prin- ieipally related to Redmanship principles @nd their application to American society. Deploring the spirit of social envy and competitive vanity that pre- wvails in America, Senator Blease, in suggesting a countercheck against this condition, said, “If a man will follow the principles of Redmanship, he will attain a productive and unselfish life.” ‘Averring that this moral defection of ‘American society has originated in the home, Senator Blease charged Ameri- can parents with ~emissness in “putting the best in and getting the best out” of their children. In commenting on the civic obliga- tions of the Improved Order of Red ‘Men at the conclusion of his address, Senator Blease urged the organization to promote the establishment of Wash- dngton as the cultural center of the world. Any project designed to create such a civic distinction, Senator Blease declared, would receive his unqualified support. A special guest at the meeting was Great Sachem Sager of Virginia, who ledged the fraternal co-operation of is State. MASONIC OFFICERS PAY OFFICIAL VISIT Grand Master and Associates Meet With King Solomon Lodge This Afternoon. The grand master of Masons in the District of Columbia, accompanied by the officers of the Grand Lodge, this afternoon is paying an official call of ceremony, known as an annual grand Visitation, to the “daylight lodge"— Xing Solomon, No. 31—meeting in Masonic Temple, Thirteenth street and New York avenue. This lodge was chartered May 10, 1905, and has a membership of 269. Most of the mem- bers are employed at night, so that the Jodge was specifically organized so as to provide them with a fraternal or- ganization which they could attend dur- ing the daylight hours. Charles Kiger 1s the master. Visitations _were made last evening to Arminius Lodge, No. 25, and to Na- tional Lodge, No. 12, meeting separately.

The second visit of the evening was made to National Lodge, No. 12, of which Lee O. Bryant is the master. There was an unusually large attendance and Grand Master Wisdom D. Brown ex- plained in detail his program for the fraternity during the current Masonic jear. Y€he next grand visitations of the geries are scheduled for next Tuesday evening, when visitations will be made to Acacia Lodge, No. 18; Federal Lodge, No. 1, and Samuel Gompers Lodge, No. 45.

Rover this morning whe as the result of his story of drinking at three years ago. {BROOKHART STORY | TOLD GRAND JURY (Continued From First Page.) the grand jury should call some of the men of the -nancial world who, he said, were present at the dinner. During his speech in the Senate Sen- ator Brookhart said that among those | present were Otto Kahn and E. E.| Loomis. Later in the evening Iowa' Senator recalled, he said, that W. W Atterbury, president of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad, also was present at the dinner. It is understood that in his speech yesterday Senator Brookhart gave all of the essential information he has re- garding the 1926 dinner. What he told the Senate was that “someone lifted up a curtain either on a table or a book- case or something, and underneath that curtain was a rack of beautiful silver hipfiasks.” BEN. DAWES OPENS TEMPORARY OFFICE Ambassador Givez Quarters in State Department for Visit in Capital. Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, Ambas- sador to London, who came to the White House yesterday for a three-day visit to discuss with President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson ques- tions reiating to the forthcoming dis- armament conference and matters con- cerning the relations of the United States and Great Britain, today estab- lished headquarters for himself in the | State Department Building. ‘When not engaged with the President or the Secretary of State, Gen. Dawes may use these hjadquarters for the purpose of carryin® on personal affairs and receiving callers. The suite turned over to him temporarily was one used by Gen. Pershing. After brief conferences earlier in the morning with the President and Secre- tary Stimson, Gen. Dawes went to his temporary office and remained there during a greater part of the forenoon. He received a number of callers, most of them old friends, with whom he talked about almost everything in_ the world except the business which brought him to Washington at this time, No Reports Made. Since the arrival of Ambassador Dawes it has been very plain at the White House that nothing is to be forthcoming in the nature of a report of the conferences between the President and his visitor. While no official infor- mation has been made public regarding the conferences between the two, it is understood that the President has lost no time in going into details with | his visitor regarding the program to| be followed by the American delegation | to the London conference. Also, it is known that the President has not con- fined these conferences to the spbject of naval disarmament but that he has included a great variety of subjects in the discussions. Mr. Hoover is expected shortly to name two more members of the Ameri- can delegation to the disarmament con- ference and it has been indicated that, since Mr. Dawes is known to be slated for appointment to the delegation, his opinion regarding those who the Presi- dent has under consideration for these two important posts has bsen sought, Will Visit Capitol. Ambassador Dawes, after the lunch- eon at the home of Secretary Stimson this afternoon, expects to go again to the Capitol and mingle again with his former assoclates in the Senate. It is expected that he will be at the Capitol for several hours. Dinner at the White House tonight will be more of u family affair. Only | a few personal friends of the President and of Gen. Dawes have been invited. It will ip no wise resemble the some- what formal dinner party at the White House last night when a large number | of guests were invited, among them be- ing Harry F. Guggenheim, recently ap- pointed Ambassador to Cuba; Sccretary of State Stimson and 17 members of the foreign relations committee of the Sen- ate. Gen. Dawes was accompanied on his visit to Washington by Mrs. Dawes and Mrs. Carolyn Erickson, his daugh- ter. They will leave Washington to- morrow night for New York preparatory to sailing the following night for his London post. MAIL PLANE DESTROYED. Parachute Saves Flyer Who Res- cues Portion of Contents.

LOUIS WEBER PAPIRES SUDDENLY Well Known Jesuit Minister| and Educator Dies at Age of 71 Years. Rev. Louis S. Weber, S. J, for 10 vears assistant pastor of the Holy Trin- ity Church. Thirty-sixth and N streets, and prominent Jesuit educator, died last night at Georgetown University Hospital, after being stricken earlier in the day. Father \Weber was 71 years old and one of the best known priests in Washington. His death was unexpected and re- sulted from a complication of ailments, including lung and kidney infections. Father Weber was in particularly good spirits early yesterday because he had with him as a visitor one of his boyhood friends, Bishop Cremont of Alaska, with whom he had gone to school in Amiens, France. Father Weber was one of the most active workers in_the Catholic Church and charities in Washington. IMe was born at Colmer, Alsace-Lorraine, in 1858 and entered the Jesuit order 19 years later. As he was born before the Franco-Prussian War, he always con- sidered himself a Frenchman. His par- ents were French. He came to this country in 1875 and started his career as a professor of the classical languages at Jesuit colleges. He taught for a number of years at Georgetown University, Fordham, Holy Cross and St. John's College in Phila- delphia. During the World War he was instructor of the R. O. T. C. unit or- ganized then at Georgetown. For the last 10 years he had been as- sociated with Holy Trinity Church, and its nearness to Georgetown University brought him in almost daily contact with the professors of that institution. At Trinity he was in charge of the Holy Name Society, the latter being composed of 500 men. Requiem mass for Father Weber will be sung at Holy Trinity Friday morn- ing at 10 o'clock. The office of the dead will be read at 9:30 o'clock. Bishop Cremont will officiate at the mass. While arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed, Father Weber will be buried in the facuity cemetery at Georgetown University. IVY CITY FILES PLEA FOR IMPROVEMENTS Citizens’ Association Requests In- stallation of Granolithic Pave- ments and Lighting Facilities. Granolithic sidewalks and electric lights for Ivy City will be requested of the District Commissioners in a com- munication to be submitted by Hezekiah Randolph, chairman of the committee on improvement of the Ivy City Citi- zens' Association, it was decided at a meeting of that body last night at the Alexander Crummell School, Central avenue and Gallaudet street northeast. The following officers were elected at the meeting: James A. Richardson, president; James H. Hawkins, vice president; William Montague, treasurer; Mrs. Jessie M. Boyd, secretary; George A.

Lodging House Either Existing Condi tions or Conditions of Ex- stence Are Unsatisfactory Either the existing conditions or the condition of existence at Washington's Municipal Lodging House is unsatis- factory to the Unemployment Confer- ence and J. Eads How. The “king of Hoboes,” Mr. How, and | the conference meglected to be specific | when they deplored matters at the hostelry jn a resolution mailed the Dis- | trict Commissioners this morning. It may have been the service the con- ference was hitting at, or it may have been the house rule “Bath Is Compulsory,” in authorita- tive lettering, constitutes the first house rule; another says: “Work One Hour for Bed.” A third reads, “Work One Half Hour for Each Meal.” Nevertheless, the woodyard has been dispensed with at 312 Twelfth stre-t. | The sawbucks have been taken down | and the cross-cut saws laid to rest. That, in the opinion of Harry A Koch, superintendent, is & popular in- novation. Too, he said, the guests were only expected to work enougl to make their habitat comfortable. There is hot-water heat and plenty to eat, he said. Despite the criticism of the District’s hospitality, some 30 transients avail themselves of it each night, particularly since frosty weather set in. If_the existing conditions have been deplored, Mr. Koch feels a wrong has been done. The condition of existence. however, is another matter and seems to fall under the house rules. “Why does Mr. How put up here and try out the service,” Mr. Koch wanted to know. Neither Mr. How nor George W. Mack, whose name appeared on the complaint, has visited the establish- ment in the knowledge of the superin- | the Ziegler Stables at Middleburg, Va. g to the Alexandria i by passing motorists and | SPEEDING TARIFF | Amendments Being Clearedin Second of 15 Schedules to Be Considered. The Senate's decision to limit each member to 10 minutes for discussion of an amendment proved effective at the outset of today's session and indicated more rapid progress might be made with the troublesome tariff bill. As soon as it met it began clearing remaining amendments sponsored by Republican members of the finance committee to the earths, earthenware and glassware schedule, the second of the 15 schedules to be reached. Without a record vote the Senate ap- proved one such amendment to increase from 45 to 60 per cent the duty on car- bons and electrodes less than one-half {inch in diameter, used principally. for motion picture projection purposes. Imports Have Doubled. Chairman Smoot of the committee said imports of the small electrodes had doubled fer the first five months this year and ere underselling similar American articles. Senator Oddie, Republican, Nevada, urged the increase on behalf of graphite producers, graphite entering into car- bon production, and Senator Hatfield, Republican, West Virginia, for the med- ical profession. The small carbons are used in delicate medical lamps. The Senate also approved without a roll call a committee proposal to re- store the existing duty of 55 per cent ad valorem of gauge glass tubes, which the House raised to 65 per cent The Secnate today discarded its ven- erated custom of unlimited debate in an endeavor to complete action on the tariff bill before the end of the special session. Each member was limited to 10 minutes’ discussion of amendments to the schedule now in hand as the chamber swung determindly to a task which its leaders have generally termed extremely difficult if not hopeless. Prior to adoption of the debate-limit- ing motion late yesterday. a proposal to confine discussion to the tariff bill alone was defeated by the protest of Senator Dill, Democrat, Washington, that the Senate should be retained as a “free forum.” The proposal for the time limit was adopted without discussion, in the ab- sence of Senator Dill. Table Blease Resolution. A resolution by Senator Blease, Demo- crat, South Carolina, to lay the tariff bill aside until after disposition of the Vare case in the regular session, was tabled. The Senate late yesterday adopted a committee amendment striking out the House rate adding 10 cents a dozen pleces to the existing duties of 45 and 50 per cent ad valorem, respectively, on undecorated and decorated earthen- ware and crockery ware. Existing rates on these and china and porcelain products were restored. Committee amendments to add 10 cents a dozen pieces to the ad valorem rates now in effect on earthenware and chinaware cups, saucers and plates valued at not more than 50 cents a dozen were rejected. SAYS CAPITAL LACKS TRAFFIC ARTERIES Former Representative Mondell Ad- vises Commissioners of Conditions Between 6th and 16th Streets. The growth of Washington is making evident the need for more north and south traffic arteries between Sixth and Sixteenth streets, in the opinion of former Representative Frank W. Mon- dell, who has expressed his views in a letter to the Commissioners. Mr. Mondell says that Sixteenth street is the only street which answers the qualifications of being wide, straight and having an easy grade over Meridian Hill, in this section, and these qualifi- cations have drawn to it far more traffic than it should be called upon to handle. Widening of Thirteenth street to Flor- ida avenue is recommended by Mr. Mondell to help in taking care of this problem. ~“Improvement” of Eighth, Tenth and Eleventh streets is also sug- gested. “So far as I know,” Mr. Mondell wrote, “no one now living is respon- sible for the fact that none of the streets n this section except Sixteenth street are wide and straight their en- tire lengths, for the regrettable crooks and dislocation accurring all along Florida avenue, for the ?lct that at least two streets in this section, Thir- teenth and Fifteenth, by being nar- rowed at the foot and the hill and there laid out on heavy grades, are highly undesirable for auto and bus travel, par- ticularly in bad weather. “While, therefore, it is not my thought or purpose to blame any one for con- ditions which exist, there will be much blame resting on all those responsible for city planning and development if the unfortunate situation to which I have referred is not speedily remedied.” FIVE JOCKEYS HURT IN AUTO COLLISION Three Seriously Injured En Route to Pimlico—Two Released From Hospital. Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 6.— Five jockeys were injured, three serious- ly, when their automobile collided with another last night near Chantilly, Fair- fax County, Va.

Special Dispatch to The Btar. CLARENDON, Va., November 6.— Charging that the Virginia Park and Planning Commission has failed prop- erly to function through lack of a quorum at several meetings called to consider matters important to the orderly development of the metropolitan area of Washington of which the coun- try is a leading factor, the Arlington County Civic Federation at its monthly meeting last night adopted a resdlu- tion of its executive committee request- ing Gov. Byrd to make changes in the personnel of the commission. Hugh McGrath, chairman of the executive committee in offering the resolution, declared that a few of the members, particularly those who have no political affillations, have been faith- ful to their assignment, but as a whole the commission has been an utter failure in recent months on account of non-at- tendance at meetings, Imperative That Board Function. “The federation,” the resolution sets forth, “consider it most necessary in view of the present rapid growth of the greater metropolitan area of Washing- ton that this commission, as a whole take a more active and aggressive part in the development of the sald area.” The resolution also expresses the view that there are persons within the area whe are fully qualified and who are willing to devote the necessary time, energy and talent to the end that the duties of the commission may be per- formed properly. That the citizens who bitterly fought granting a permit to the Sun Oil Co. to establish an oil storage and dis- tributing plant on the Lee Highway at the foot of Mackey's Hill “are down, but not out” as a result of the board of supervisors’ favorable action on the permit application, was indicated when & resolution offered by Mrs. Florence F. Cannon requesting the board to re- consider its decision and to revoke the permit was unanimously adopted. The resolution, which was designed to serve as a petition to the board, was signed by about 25 delegates present, repre- senting almost as many civic organiza- tions in various parts of the county. Provision of Resolution. “Belleving,” the resolution cites, “that the results of the inspection tour and conference of Gov. Byrd and Col. Grant of the United States Park and Planning Commission on October 26, indicate the intention of both Federal and State officials to assist to the fullest extent in restoring Arlington County to its prop- er condition as an important part of the metropolitan area of Washington, and maintaining it as such, the under- signed citizens, representing regularly organized and active civic bodies of Ar- lington County, hereby petition the Board of Supervisors to reconsider its decision in the matter of the establish- ment of a supply depot by the Sun Oil Co. at a point immediately above Key Bridge, in Rosslyn, and to revoke the permit granted by the board on Sep- tember 30.” = Mrs. Cannon asserted that she had good reason to belleve that the board would reconsider if properly petitioned. Congratulation for Reid. A motion offered by F. E. Mann and adopted instructs the secretary to send a letter to Hugh Reid, congratulating him on his re-clection as a member of the House of Delegates from Arlington and expressing the desires of the feder- ation to co-operate with him on all legislative matters. Mr. Mann, who is chairman of the committee on county resources and Exgenditu!‘!s. submitted a report un the school board’s annual financial state- ment, for which he was highly com- mended. Speaking on signboard construction and efforts being made to abolish this type of advertising in the county, Mrs. Cannon, chairman of the federation's signboard committee, announced that the zoning ordinance, on which hear- ings are being held, eliminates all sign- boards from what is- designated as A residential. Acting on her suggestion, President Hull, who presided, announc- ed that he would have the’ legislative committee investigate the possibility of L(;gu‘ljluon 'thn'fl w(‘mld prohibit sign- ard construction in the whole L mtl"'zubgolfl;:n area.

NATIONAL HOTEL * ROPERTY BOUGHT quire Structure as Part of Municipal Site. The District Commissioners today authorized the purchase of the historic old National Hotel, Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, as a part of the site of the new municipal center. The purchase, which will involve a consider- ation of $580,000, is the most ambitious to be handled in the course of acquir- ing the sites to date. ‘The hotel will eventually be torn down, but six tenants of the building hold Jeases expiring September 30, 1931, and since the District has agreed to continue these leases in force, no razing work will be done on the building at least prior to that date. The deal was made by the National Hotel Co. through Attorney George H. Calvert, jr. ‘The Commissioners also awarded two contracts for sewer construction to the Peter d’Adamo_Construction Co. The contracts call for the construction of the Sixteenth street service sewer be- tween Kalmia road and Jonquil street at a cost of $1,430.91 and the Patterson tract service sewer in the vicinity of Fourth street and Florida avenue north- east at a cost of $11,505.45, PRIVATE CAR'S FREE MOVEMENT BARRED Interstate Commerce Commission Orders Practice Ended by January 15, 1930. By the Associated Press. The Interstate Commerce Commi: slon issued a formal order today direct- ing railroads to discontinue the practice of transporting private passenger cars of one carrier over the line of another carrier free or at other than published tariff rates. In instructing the roads to desist from this practice before January 15, 1930, the commission held it was a violation of the Interstate Commerce act and that the transportation of per- sons in private passenger cars at the with ordinary coach accommodations was discriminatory and unduly prefer- ential. Last Summer the commission issued a finding to this effect, but at that time no formal instructions were ‘given the railroads. Veteran Apple Tree.

SHOUSE CHEERS: VIRGINIA OUTCOME National Chairman Sees Dem- ocratic State’s Return to Normaley. The election of Dr. John Garland Pollard, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Virginia, was cheered day by Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic national executive commit- tee, as showing a return of the Old Dominion State to political normalcy. “Virginia’s return to normal Democ- racy is no surprise,” Mr. Shouse said. “The apparently overwhelming land- slide marks how completely the swing away from its historical political faith has been reversed. “It is not alone on the election of Dr. Pollard and his colleagues on the ticket that Democracy has reason to congratulate itself,” he said. “It is a fine tribute to Gov. Harry Byrd, an indorsement of his administration and a tribute to his eminence among people. “The Virginians are to be felicitated that they refused to be swayed by the appeals to their prejudices and on their retention of a decent political per- spective.” Commenting further on the apparent reversal from the earlier swing away from the Democratic standard, Mr. Shouse sald: “It was bound to be so, for the cam: paign against Gov.-elect Pollard repre- sented little more than an effort of certain politicians to gain control of | the political machinery of the State by attempting to capitalize and keep alive | the factional differences of the last election. Such an effort was bound to fail. “Republicans naturally sought to use the occasion to the hurt of the Demo- cratic_party by indorsing Mr. Brown's candidacy for the governorship. The Republicans made the utmost of their opportunity, Money was poured into the State in greater volume than dur- ing the campaign which gave Virginia's vote to Herbert Hoover. “The Virginia election is the culmina- tlon of a series of political episodes that all point to the same thing—the restoration of Democratic harmony. It began with the choosing of a Democrat from the third district of Kentucky, which had elected a Republican with Hoover last year. The victory of Ram- speck, the regular Democrat, over his Hooverite adversary in the Atlanta dis~ trict of Georgia, which also went Re- publican in_the national election; the election of Kvale, with Democratic in- dorsement in Minnesota, and the phe- nomenal vote amassed by Hoidale, & Democrat, in Walter Newton's Minne- apolis district, all show how the politi= cal wind is blowing. ~ —_— Nicaragua is urging the use of wind- mills with oil-engine auxiliaries in irri- gation.
