THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, MARKET 1S URGED ON WATERFRONT Southwest Site Advocated by Mrs. Wiley Before Kalo- rama Citizens. A plea for the establishment of a market center on the water front in | Southwest Washington was voiced in resolutions adopted by the Kalorama Citizens’ Association at a meeting in St. Margaret’s Parish House, Connecticut | avenue and Bancroft street, last night. Mrs, Harvey W. Wiley, in presenting the resolution, cited numerous ad-| vantages in the southwest location, de- claring that, aside from making it possi- ble to obtain foodstuffs of superior grade and pure and wholesome quality, & terminal market as proposed is needed | to prevent the control of prices by the | chain stores, which, she said, would result were the suggestions of some per- gons_who advocate the abolishing of the larg> general markets adhered to. The secretary was directed to transmit copies of the resolution to the Commis- sioners and to the chairmen of congres- sional District committees. Rev. Moses R. Lovell, pastor of Mount Pleasant _Congregational Church, ad- dressed the meeting on the work of the Washington Life Adjustment Center. He said the center was a social experi- ment started in a modest way and has proved worthy of the effort. The staff of the center, he said, has been enlarged ear to 20, including, besides Dr. | 4 psychiatrists, medical doctors, social workers an economist and a law- yer. Resolutions were adopted commending Judge Gus A. Schuldt for his services and urging his reappointment at the expiration of his present term. It was also voted to urge the Commissioners to purchase the Little estate, at Nine- teenth street, Columbia and Kalorama Toads, for use as public park and play- ground space. The meeting night of the association has been changed from the third Tuesday to the second Mon- day of each month, New members _elected were Miss Elizabeth Elliott Poe, Mrs. Vylla Poe Wilson and Miss Margaret Poe. Mrs. Edna L. Johnston, president of the assoclation, presided. $600,000 AS STRIKE FUND | GARMENT WORKERS’ PLEA ILadies’ Union Authorizes by Unani- | mous Vote Collection of Sum for Two-Year Period. | By the Associated Press. | CLEVELAND, December 10.—A strike fund of $600,000 for a two-year period was authorized by delegates to the an- | nual convention of the International | Ladies’ Garment Workers' Union in ses- | sion here yesterday.

Will Rogers Says: l BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Say, did you know that an old country boy from just 28 miles from Claremore, Okla.,, was Secretary of War? His name is Pat Hurley. And he is making good right from the jump, too. He hadn't any more than been appointed than he hatched one with Haitl. Course, that's not much of a one, but it may lead into some- thing bigger and better, Due to Pat, we are liable to wake up some day with presidential tim- ‘ber on our hands right down home. He was appointed because he had fought in two wars and six Okla- homa impeachments. He was, like Mr. Hoover, soon to realize that while the Democrats were always right, they were seldom President. So he relinquished his social stand- ing and joined the great majority. RELIGIOUS TEACHER IS HELD BY POLICE| Man Hailed as Recipient of Mirac-, ulous Revelations Is Wanted on Coast. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 10 —Baird T. Spalding was under arrest here today by request of the Los Angeles police. The New York World said he had been hailed_by esoteric religious groups in New York as the recipient of miracu- | lous revelations in the Gobi Desert. The complainant is Walter Berron Currier cf Santa Monica, Calif., who erty, Currier alleges that when he tried to collect the loan Spalding pre- sented five forged receipts. Spalding made his first appearance here several weeks ago, speaking before a group of women attending a “school of insight,” conducted by Mrs. Jessie Boerstler Bahre. At & reappearance last Sunday he addressed more than 50 women. As described by the World he told of talks with Buddha, Jesus and other “Masters,” and explained how his com- pany of 300 men was fed miraculously for 64 days in the Gobi Desert. He said he was here to see about airplanes to fly into the Gobi and bring out treasures his expedition was excavating there. | In 1925 he published a book called “Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East,” which he said sold | 2,000,000 coples. In 1927 he published another volume in_which he told of | conversations with Buddha and Jesus. Woes of British Pedestrians. LONDON (#)—Vehicles in England keep to the left, pedestrians keep to the right. On_ narrow streets cars must run with wheels flush to the curb, with the result that part of a truck fre- quently overhangs the sidewalk and smacks a pedestrian. One Londoner was killed in such a circumstance. Although European firms had offered, with little success, front-wheel drive The action follows on the heels of the convention’s approval of three strikes in New York and one each in Cleveland | Eoston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, | which will involve nearly 100,000 work- | ers'in the garment industry. | Officers will be nominated before the | closing session late tomorrow. Resolutions calling on President Hoo- ver to institute & 5-day week among | Government_employes, asking freedom for Thomas Mooney and Warren K. Bil- lings and requesting Union Counsel Morris Hillquit to drop action against Communists ousted from the union were | adopted.
