THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1930. *» A3 STATES PROJECTS DOUBLE N JANUARY Public ~ Construction Total Sets Six-Year Record, Reports Reveal. By the Associated Press. The contracts of 37 States for public | works and public utility construction more than doubled in January, said a Commerce Department announcement issued for today, while simultaneously Julius H. Barnes, chairman of the National Business Survey Conference, urged “planning and co-opération” as & means of increased buying power. A January record for the last six years was established by the construc- tion figures, which totaled $112,065,200, as compared with $66,552,000 for Janu- ary of last year, $51,820,000 in Decem- b;h 1929, and $72,361,000 in November, 1929. Increase Over December. Contracts for all classes of construc- tion awarded during the month totaled $323,975,200, as compared with $316,.- 368,100 in December and $409,967,900 in January last year. There was an in- crease of 62 per cent in commercial building over December and increases in construction for hospitals, institu- tions and for social and recreational bu s. Decreases were noted in con- tracts awarded for industrial and resi- dential building. Due to “the collective common sense, the courage and enterprise of all kinds of Americans, mn business and out,” Barnes said, the “danger of a long depression appears fairly over.” ‘There is need, however, he continued, for the application of these qualities, especially in the next few weeks. He said industries, rajlroad and pub- lie utilities had expanded their building programs in conformity with President Hoover's suggestions and asserted that home owners can help by “doing needed work now, so that men temporarily idle can be carried over until larger pro- grams can be started.” Employment Falls Slightly. A decrease of 2.6 per cent in employ- ment and 5.4 per cent in pay rolls in eight major industrial groups for the month of January as compared with December was reported today by the Department of Labor. In eight of the nine geographic divi- sions lessened employment was reported during the month, the East north cen- ! tral division, where the automobile in- dustry is concentrated, showing the only gain. The smallest decrease was in the Eastern division. The level of employment in manu- facturing industries alone was 5.3 per cent lower than in January of last year, with 12 of 54 separate industries report- ing gains. Shipbuilding registered the greatest increase with a gain of 28.7 per eent. Per capita earnings in manufacturing industries in the past month were 3 per cent lower than in December and | 2.2 per cent below those of January of | last year.

Schall of Minnesota. Speaking over the Columbia Broad- casting System, Schall explained he lost his sight at the age of 30 from an electric shock, and asserted that after being blind for 21 years he wouldn't “trade the understanding” he has gained “for all the eyes in the world.” He said the first thing every man who loses his sight thinks of is to quit and that if it had not been for the “love and the tender understanding of my brilliant little helpmate and class- mate I think I would have quit.” Blind Man Is Ever Alert. He added that when he became blind he asked his wife if he should sell lead pencils and she replied: “I should say not, Tom. We're going to practice law. I will be your eyes, You have your profession. In a short time, I am sure, you can try a lawsuit as well without your sight as you could with it. People will trust a blind man, if he has the ability, just as quick as a man with sight.” * “So 1 went back to the practice of law,” he continued, “broke, worse than broke—in debt—and blind. It was a weary road. It was like learning to walk all over again. I worked along in the darkness a good deal harder than when I had my sight. I had to. In fact, a blind man's mind rests only when he sleeps, since he must feel with it and see with it—ever on guard, alert, for the little indirect thing that will guide him to the true conclusion that he must have in order to cope with the seeing. “I never realized what a weak, flabby thing the seeing brain is. I was normai, perhaps a little above normal, having taken honors in my class. But, like every other seeing person, I had always depended on my sight, not my memory. When I had to rely on my memory I 1 'BLIND SENATOR WOULD NOT GIVE “UNDERSTANDING" FOR EYES SENATOR SCHALL. found it was like a muscle that had atrophied from lack of use.” He explained that when he was pre- paring a case his wife would read pas- sages to him again and again ‘“until at last, after stupendous efforts, the flabby old brain tissue tightened until it could stand alone.” Schall said he did not want sym- pathy. “Sympathy?” he asserted. “Yes, but who the hell wants sympathy? We| want acknowledgment of merit. It is not how well you can see with your eyes, but it is the depth of your vision, the soundness of your judgment and the depth of your understanding of the human heart that counts.” Explaining his attitude toward his blindness, he said: “Through chastisement has come to me understanding. With that under- standing I realize the truth. I no longer pray to have this cup taken from me, but accept the fight as it is pre- sented to me. After 21 years of dark- ness I wouldn’t trade the understand- ing that has come to me for all the eyes in the world. I entered the forest of darkness un- tamed, undisciplined, grasping, selfish, I came out of that darkness when un- derstanding became my sight, when I had Jearned to bear disappointment, when I had comprehended that the thing was to be done for love of the cause and not for self-aggrandizement.” Schall was elected to the Senate in ;;24. after serving 10 years .in the ouse. TAXI INSURANCE CASE IS APPEALED Utilities Commission Seeks Dismissal of Injunction Re- fused by Justice Wheat. The Public Utilities Commission, | through Assistant Corporation Counsel Robert E, Lynch, today noted an ap- peal from the order of Justice Alfred A. Wheat of the District Supreme| Court making permanent the temporary injunction recently granted in the suit of F. B. Smith, . B. 2 taxicab driver, who questioned the right of the commission '&o require him to give security to in- from Gajuries Sesuiting Trom the aperac njuries resulting from opera- tion of his cab. . The commission filed a motion to dis- miss, which was denied by Justice ‘Wheat on the authority of the decision of the District Court of Appeals made four years ago in the Harlan case de- nying the jurisdiction of the commis- sion to make the order. No subsequent legislation on the sub- | ject has been passed, so the cour: held the commission still without power to make the regulation. Smith was rep- resented by Attorney Leon Robbin. The Utilities Commission would be given authority to require taxicab operators to proof of financial responsibility and also would be em- powered to fix minimum and maximum rates for cabs under a bill introduced in the Senate by Chairman Capper of the District committee. In recommending the legislation to Capper, Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chair- man of the commission, said the au- thority to establish minimum and max- imum rates “is of importance in the District because of a threatened taxicab rate war, indications of which have al- ready been brought to the commission’s attention.” ‘The bill would require operators of cabs to satisfy the commission of ability to pay any claims that may be lodged against them for damages. The commission told Senator Capper that last December it issued an order requiring all cab operators to furnish proot of financial responsibility, either ® | by showing adequate net assets, by bond or by insurance, but the order was contested by one operator. The commis- sion explained e District Supreme c%un issued a temporary restraining order. Turkish Cupid Is Handeuffed. ISTANBUL, February 19 (P).—It would not be well to elope to Turkey.

Piloneers of what is now one of the Capital's most desirable residential sec- tions were, according to Miss Jackson, collapse of the rebellion in the eighteenth century had ended all hopes of restoring the Stuart dynasty and to the exile, in some instances volun- tary, of many sterling men. George Beall and George Gordon, who are given the honor of being the city’s founders, were of earliest stock, Beall being the son of Ninian Beall, who took out the patent of one of the most famous estates in that part in pre- Revolutionary davs, the Rock of Dum- barton. September 19, 1751, is George- town’s birthday, as evidenced by the act in the Maryland Assenibly on that date which recorded the planting of the city on the Potomac., Many Pictures Shown, Miss Jackson presented pictures of the many illustrious sons and daughters of Georgetown, and in many instances showed the historic houses where they lived. Robert Peter was the old town's ploneer business man and his Rock Creek store was the most flourishing establishment in the section. Born in Scotland in 1726, he was about 21 when he arrived in (eorgetown scon | after it was incorporated. He was an agent of the famous firm of John Glassford & Co., which had a monopoly on the Potomac River tobacco trade. ‘The Peter family remains prominent in Georgetown affairs, and Tudor Place, one of the handsomest estates in the District, is their home. Georgetown's celebrities include Ben- Jjamin Stoddert, first Secretary of the Navy and the only cabinet officer offi- cially a citizen of the Federal City. He was appointed by John Adams in 1798 and beautiful home, on Pros- pect avenue, designed by Benjamin La- trobe, is still standing. Prancis Scott Key, as a lad and in mature years, was for years a resident of the old city and the picture of his house on the river front, demolished for the founda- tions of the Memorial Bridge, drew en- thusiastic applause. Gen. Otho Holland ‘Willlams, & hero of the Revolution and the first treasurer ol the Society of the cix':;:mmu. spent some years in Georgetown. Admiral Decatur was a resident and S0 was Admiral Stephen Cassin, whose home, at 3017 .O street, is now the Epiphany School for Girls. Early Social History. Miss Jackson gave survey of the social history of the old town and its! importence in the first quarter of a century after the Capital was founded, when nearly ‘all of the offieial world wlau‘ht homes rather than in gton proper. Suter’s Tavern, which gave hospitality to President Washington when he came to meet the proprietors of the land and which was afterward: the L'Enfant headquarters when the ground plan of Washington was in preparation, was presented. Union Tavern was the first hotel of any elegance and size in the 10 miles square and there the first diplomats to this Capital found shelte; William W. Corcoran, the phfllfllhroxl,l‘ was a Georgetown citizen and his m:ce of business was shown as well soclety, presided at the meeting, which was the 251st regular assembly of the members. He gave a resume of the old town on the other side of Rock Creek and of several of its well known citizens.

Collins was unable to pro- duce corroboration of testimony of the former wife of the accused, Irene G.| Swan, that a bonus certificate which | Swan had sworn to be lost had been reposing in a safe deposit box. Swan was indicted for presenting to the Veterans' Bureau, January 14, 1927, an application for the issuance of a duplicate certificate on the plea that the original had been lost. Mrs. Swan testified her husband had given her the certificate on its issuance, directing its safe keeping. Later he sought to obtain possession of it from her after they had a disagreement, and she re- fused through fear that he wanted to borrow mcney on it. She produced the | certificate, and when Justice Gordon inquired ‘of the prosecutor if he could corroborate the woman's story as to the falsity of the afidavit, Collins said he had ‘none. .

Siddons of the District Supreme Court today filed a | memorandum opinion directing the is- | suance of a mandamus against J, R.| McCarl, controller general of the Unit- | ed States, to compel the payment of an award of $97,139.50, with interest from December 9, 1926, to David Halstead, receiver of the American Manganese Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia. The award had been made under the war minerals rellef act and McCarl refused to direct payment on the plea that the company was indebted io the United | States for an additional corporate tax | for the year 1917 amounting to $236.- | 633.01, with a penalty of $11,831.65. The controller general sought to absorb for mandamus. Justice Siddons rules that the tax claim of the United States was out- lawed, because no attempt was made to enforce it within five years from the filing of the tax return, March 29, 1918. The Government waited until 4 years, 11 months and 22 days thereafter before making an assessment of the additional tax. The court holds that the statute began to run with the filing of the tax- payer's return and not from the date of the assessment, nearly five years later, ‘The United States having no valid claim against the award, Justice Sid- dons declares, there remained only the purely ministerial duty in McCarl to ap- prove the payment of the award, and he is so directed. The court pointed out that since the dictation of the memorandum the Dis- trict Court of Appeals, in the case of the Alameda Park Co. of Los Angeles against the commissioner of internal revenue, has confirmed the views ex- pressed in the opinion.
