o % HUNDREDS' HONOR WILSON AT TOMB Bisop Freeman Makes Plea for Peace in Cathedral Memorial Address. A plea that “war must cease and eonflict give way to saner methods of arbitration” was made by Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washing- ton, iIn his remarks at the memorial service for Woodrow Wilson yesterday afternoon in Bethelehem Chapel of ‘Washington Cathedral. Standing in front of the tomb of the American war President, over which is carved “I am the rrection and the life, saith the Lord,” Bishop PFreeman read scriptural passages cherished by Mr. Wilson and extolled the idealism of the former President. which, he de- clared, inspired the treaty for the re- nunciation of v.ar. The service in honor of the war-time Chief Executive was the fifth of the na- ture to be held and was attended by a large congregation, which included rela- tives and members of President Wil- son's official household. Mrs. Wilson, who customarily attends this service, is traveling in the Orient, but a wreath of flowers sent by her were among the tributes heaped upon the marble tomb. Baker Telegram Read. A telegram from Newton D. Baker, president of the Woodrow Wilson Foun- dation and Secretary of War in the | cabinet of Mr. Wilson, was read during the service. It read: “A memorial service to Woodrow Wilson on Armistice day appropriately honors a great advo- cate and architect of peace and a day upon which the world, rescued from the welter of war, turned its eyes hopefully toward a new era of peace with justice | made possible only by the heroic sacri- | b nc_n“ service began with the proces- sional hymn “The Strife Is O'er, the Battle Done,” sung by the \Vashington | Cathedral Choir :f m|ehn nnd“:‘léys‘w‘;:\: other m 1 also furnished the g ‘:{,H‘: of Peace,” and “For e glfi:’w‘w From Their Labors Rest, and “America.” These were among the ns most cherished by Mr. Wilson.

The other tribute, in the form of a sheaf of lilies surrounding an olive branch, was placed by & youthful mem- ber of the cathedral. Among other | wreaths were those of the Washington Post, Mrs. Wilson, Woodrow Wilson Foundation, the Wil- son household and a vase of cut flowers from “an old friend.” Members of the committee sponsoring the service included Mrs. Blair Banister, Mrs. Huston Thompson, Mrs. H.

HODVERBEGINIG WORK N NESSAGE Country Believed Eager tol Hear First Report on Stewardship. President Hoover has entered upon | the task of writing his first annual mez- sage to Congress, £0 as to have it in readiness to present to that body when it assembles in regular session Decem- ber 2. For various reasons, this message of the President is being looked forward to with more than ordinary interest. There are indications that the coun- try is eager to hear what the President will have to propose in the way of legis- lation. Then, too, this paper will serve as Mr. Hoover's maiden report of his stewardship of the national Government since he took the reins March 4. | Interest also is aroused because of | the situation in the Senate as a result | of the successful maneuvering of the| coalition in connection with the tlrlfll bill, It is known that some are expecting | the President to say something upon| that situation, but those who are antici- pating anything of the sort will be greatly disappointed, according to the| opinions of more than one of the Pres- ident’s associates. It is thought doubtful if Mr. Hoover gives much more than passing mention to the tariff in his message. He has) consistently set forth his position and his views regarding this legislation and it is thought inconceivable that he| would take occasion in his message to| again deal at any length regarding this | subject. Of course, what he will say on the subject will necessarily depend to a large extent on the tariff situation when | the curtain drops on the present spe- cial session. The President is repre- sented, however, as being still hopeful that a tariff revision bill wilt pass which will bring relief to agriculture and assistance to those industries which | need help and thereby fulfill the cam- | paign pledge of his party. Although the President has not prow gressed very far in the drafting of his! message, the impression is that that | document is likely to be in the form of a memorandum of the things Congress should do. It 'is expected that he will make some comment on the subject of present tax reduction, but administration officiais doubt very much if conditions this year will permit recommending a cut in ti DR.

Question of Management. “Personally I deem it my solemn duty to bring about reasonable standards of cost without Jowering In any y the standards of service. It must be affer all largely a question of management. T have been unable to discover any other reasons to account for the differ- ence in the dally average per capita cost of $2.17 at the Tuberculosis Hos- pital and a rate of $2.88 at the Freed- men’s Hospital, against a rate of $3.30 at the Gallinger Hospital. “A larger dally average population usually tends to lower the daily per capita cost as shown by the rate at St. Elizabeth's. “It is possible that Dr. Bocock as an efficient superintendent, will bring about a much lower per diem cost, but it cannot be done by raising the salary list | of the medical' stafl. The question might very properly be asked why we should pay a higher salary than Cleve- land or Philadelphia for the same grade of position, & “In conclusion, I venture to express | the hope that this movement will not result in supplanting Dr. Hickling as chief of the phsychopathic service by a full-time salaried man.

I shall be gratified to have this letter as chairman of the com- mittee on medical service be made part of the record for the budget committee. | “Respecfully submitted, “GEORGE M. KOBER. George S. Wilson, director of- public welfare, said that the change in policy contemplated by the board involved the expenditure of about-$12,000 annualiy and the employment of three or four full-time physicians for the psycho- pathic ward. In accepting Dr. Kober's resignation the Commissioners directed that the following letter be sent him: “It is with sincere regret that the Commissioners accept your resignation as a member of the Board of Public Welfare. “Your long and arduous service, first as member of the Board of Charities of the District of Columbia and later as a member of the Board of Public Wel- fare of the District of Columbia, has been a great personal sacrifice to you, a sacrifice, however, which you willingly made to serve the citizens of: the Dis. trict of Columbia.

LOUIS, November 12.—The at- titude of railroads toward inland water- ways was condemned by three speakers on the program of the convention of | the Mississippi Valley Association here yesterday. President William R. Dawes of Chi- cago warned the association that the raiiroads were organizing their opposi- ticn toward inland waterways develop- ment. Representative Homer Hoch of Kansas accused the railroads of at- tempting a number of ways to block | the, development of waterways, and Representative E. E. Denison of Illinois asserted the railroads had organized a campaign of propaganda against the ex- penditure of any more money by the Government on waterways. President Dawes predicted that a showdown be- tween enemies of waterways and water- way advocates was imminent. “It is true.” he said, “that never be- fore have the forces arraved against the program for the development of inland waterways in the West been more grimly determined. Task of Legislation. “We are still faced with the task of securing necessary legislation and we will find a well organized opposition strongly entrenched and intent upon securing major benefits from the use of waterways transportation for them- selves, even though it may be at the expense of industry and agriculture in the ‘Middle West. It will take hard, united work on the part of the valley | to_overcome this opposition.” Representative Denison, long a water- | way advocate, said he would introduce | islation in Congress at the next ses- ducing rates in barge line territory to He asserted that railroads years ago put steamboats and packet’ out of bus- ness by charging low freight rates along navigable rivers and making up their losses by hiking the rates elsewhere. tempts were being made bzy the same tactics today in an effort to hinder barge shipping. ' Control of Joint Rates. Gov. Bibb Graves of Alabama, an- other speaker, sald the solution of the difficulties between the rallroads and the barge lines lay in adequate control of joint water and rail rates by the Federal Government. Hundreds of shippers by water from virtually every State of the Mississippi’ Valley gathered for the convention. The delegations included every element in- terested in improvement of rivers and in canals. President Hoover sent a message of greeting. ‘The President’s waterway utterances in Louisville were touched upon in near- 1y every address of the day. His promise of Federal support for early completion of the Mississippt sys- tem was seen by the majority n? speak- ers as opening an optimistic future for the developments of waterways. Ch: ‘rman Makes Forecast. The development of a joint rail-and- water freight rate structure to give vantages of inland waterways - trans- portation was forecast today by Maj. Gen. T. O. Ashburn, chairman of the ways Corporation. “The most essential condition for the , “is hearty co-operation between raill lines and water lines, free inter- changé of freight between rafl and water, with a division of accruing revenue for a joint haul such that both rail and water lines may receive a living revenue. “What we are steadily working for- ward to is a structure of joint rates giving to every one in the interior the same savings in cents per 100 pounds | freight cairied, as is enjoyed by those cities of communities fortunately Jo- cated on a water ‘right of way.' Until the rate structure of the United States is so adjusted, the people who have be taxed to create these navigable | streams will continue to suffer under | widely divergent freight rates.” {CARAWAY CHARGES DENIED BY BURGESS | Here to Seek Retraction of Accusations, By the Associated Press. TRENTON, N.

Better Able to Work. “With this wider understanding of mutual difficulties and aspirations we can each in our own sphere better contribute to broaden good will, to es- sist those forces which make for peace in the world, to curb those forces which | make for distrust. 1 “That is why I have endeavored to| meet the leaders of these nations, for I have no fear that we are not abie to impress every country with the single- | minded good will which lies in the | heart of the American people.” As another and immediate step in the direction of world peace, Mr. Hoover | said the United States would reduce its | naval strength in Ju'oportlnn to any | other nation and added amid a burst | of applause that the others could not | g0 “too low for us.” In making his appeal for peace, Mr. | Hoover made it clear that he was not unmindful of the difficulties along that road. He said this road requires pre- | paredness for defense as well as pre- paredness for peace. On the side of defense he said, amid enthusiastic applause, that he was “for adequate preparedness as a guaranty that no foreign soldier shall ever step upon the soil of our country.” Of peace, he warned that it was not “a static thing”; that “to maintain peace is as dynamic in its requirements as the conduct of war.” Bodenhamer Praises Plea, President Hoover's appeal for peace and preparedness was commended by Maj. O. L. Bodenhamer, national com- mander of the American Legion, the only other speaker: “Peace and pre- paredness go hand in hand,” the vet- eran declared. ‘“Veterans of the war wint peace, but they also.want pre- paredness The experience of this Na- tion in past wars has shown us the folly of unpreparedness.” The Legion commander asserted that preparedness does not indicate a war- like attitude on the part of a nation if it merely provides an adequate na- national defense i time of peace. He decried the practice of describing per- sons in favor of adequate national de- fense as militarists. Maj. Bodenhamer said the American Legion was opposed to militarism be- cause it did not insure national security | and because it had proven futile as a naticnal policy. He warned that na- ture arises from a condition of pre- paredness insufficient to provide ample security. The speaker's presentation of the na- tional policy of his organization also included approval of a program for re- duction of armaments. However, he pointed out that the Legion expects such a reduction to be within safe lim- itations. \ Universal Draft Law Is Urged. He made a strong appeal for universal service in time of war, declaring that the Legion would make every effort to bring about the enactment of legislation with this object in view. He stated that the Legion is satisfied that there is jus- tice and equity in universal service and is convinced that it would prevent | profiteering during wartime. “No one has the right to roll in the lap of luxury and grow rich on war,” he s A “while others roll in the mud and mire of the battlefield. Selective nrvtczl would not only take the profit out of war, but would greatly reduce the cost of war and would strengthen the armed force of the Nation by drafting every man, every resource, into the service of the country, and, most Important, it would distribute equally the burden of T, w‘ln conclusion, he thanked the Presi- dent on behalf of every member of the Legion for the honor he had paid their organization by attending the ceremonies and congratulated him upon his address.

Rules of war on land have been humanized and civilized in modern times, so far as former brutality in connection with non-combatants is con- cerned. On land private property is also protected and cannot be taken ex- cept for military use, for which com- pensation must be paid. If these rules of war were applied to the sea, they | would be preventive of war and would | lessen friction with neutral nations in | time of war and would prevent inter- | ference with the flow of commerce. | One of Great Needs. 1 “One of the great needs of modern | times is to modify the cruel and brutal | code of war on the sea. I was in hope that an opportunity would be afforded at ‘the naval conference to deal with these matters. But the proposal for naval limitation should not be inter- fered with by the interjecting-ef ques- tions which might tend to prevent an agrecment at the conference.” Senator Edge of New Jersey, a Re- publican member of the foreign rela- tions committee, who is slated soon to g0 as American Ambassador to Franc declared that the President's addre: was “excellent” and indicated clear the willingness of the United States tu | go to the limit in its efforts to bring about a permanent world peace. The United States Government hav-~ ing shown its hand, the other nations | should indicate their willingness to do as much for peace, he said, Senator Norris of Nebraska, Repub- lican Progressive and a leader of the Progressive group tg‘ the Senate, said he thought that the President’s pro- posal regarding food ships was a “fine thing.” “I hope the President will succeed in what he has proposed regarding the | food ships,” said Senator Norris. Hale Is Pleased. Senator Hale of Maine, chairman of | the naval affairs committee, said .of the | President’s address: “It was a very excellent spéech. I look with interest upon the suggestion about the food ships. Everyone would | like to do all that is possible to make | war less horrible to women and children | and this proposal will have the sympa-~ thetic ‘attention of the world. Whether it can be worked out practically re- remains to be seen.” Senator McKellar of Tennessee, a Remocrat, declared that he considered the President's “idea 6f food ships free from attack most laudible.” “But I believe,” said Senator McKel- lar, “that this question should be in- | cluded in the agenda of the London | conference on naval limitation.
