NEW BORLAND ACT DRAFT INTRODUCED BY ZHLMAN TODAY Measure Would Give Com- missioners Power to Reduce or Adjust Assessments. PROPERTY OWNERS MAY PROTEST IN 60 DAYS Proposal Would Prevent Levies Greater Than 20 Per Cent of Assessed Value. A new draft of the Commissioners’ proposed amendment to the Borland act, as sent up to Congress by the city heads yesterday with a request that it be enacted into law, was introduced in the House today by Representative Zihiman. ‘The draft follows in most respects the terms of the bill introduced at their re- quest at the last session of Congress. One important difference in the new bill is that it proposes to give to the Commissioners the power in their dis- cretion to “abate, reduce or adjust” assessments which ved property owners prove to their satisfaction are inequitable. This power is conferred in section 10 of the proposed act, Which reads as fol- lows: property owner, aggrieved by t levied hereunder, may, sioners of the District of Columbia a protest in writing against such assess- ment, accompanied by affidavits if he so desires, and if said Commissioners find that the property of such owner so pro- testing is not benefited by the improve- ment. for which such assessment is levied, or is benefited less than the amount .of such assessment, or is un- equally or inequitably assessed with re- lation to other property abutting such improvement, said Commissioners shall abate, reduce or adjust such assessment in accordance with such finding.” ‘Total Not to Exceed 20 Per Cent. § Essis gEgagees. gig;gg" ? i Eiseest i £ '—a situation so unjust to the property owners not be wed to exist.” CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

Requiem high mass will be said at St. Gabriel's Church, Illinois avenue and Webster street at 10 o'clock tomor- row morning for the late “Mother” Mary Harris Jones, 100 year-old labor leader, whose death Sunday night after a prolonged illness caused grief in the ranks of organized labor.

Then it will be placed in a special car of a train bound for Mou:\t Olive, Ill, the place of inter- ment.

IN GAPITAL MELEE FINED IN COURT Those Convicted, Including Three Women, Declare They Will Go to Jail. BLACKSMITH CHARGES OFFICER BROKE NOSE Policeman Asserts Citizen Came to His Rescue and Felled Raussian, Five of the seven Communists ar- rested by police during the imbroglio on Capitol Hill yesterday, were con- victed on charges of disorderly con- duct in Police Court today and fined by Judge Isaac R. Hitt. The five who were convicted, including three women, declared they would serve jail sen- tences rather than pay the fines. One of the. defendants, John Zillic, 41-year-old Russian blacksmith of Mc- Keesport, Pa., had a broken nose and black eves when he faced the judge. Zilic said the policeman had presented him with the fracture while he was & prisoner bound for the precinct in a taxicab. On the other hand, Officer P. S. O'Brien of No. 3 precinct declared Zilic felled him with a blow to the stomach. The officer testified that an unidentified citizen came to the aid of the Metro- politan police and swung a powerful mook at the Russian, knocking him Zilic Fined $25. Zilic drew a $25 fine, while the others were assessed $10 each. The blacksmith can either pay the fine or serve 30 days in jail. He assured the attorney for the five defendants, Charles E. Ford, that he would serve his time. Zilic was taken to the hospital for treatment fol- lowing the trial. The others fined were: Helen Roberts, 17 years old, a presser, of Baltimore; Rose Stein, 38 years old, a Russian dressmaker, of New York City; Rose Markle, 34 years old, a Rus- sian, of New York City, and Paudelis Kirldin, 35 years old, a Turk, of Chicago. A simi count booked against Fioreto de Angelo, 35 years old, an Italian cook of Akron, Ohio, was dis- | ¢, missed when it was brought out that the offense which police charged him with was committed on the Capitol ounds. Julia A. Whitfield, 32 years old, of Youngstown, Ohio, was arrested, but never formally charged. She was dis- | missed after questioning. Capturedat Peace Monument. ‘The police captured all their prisoners in a warlike demonstration which revolved about the Peace Monument, at the foot of Capitol Hill. The crowd which was swinging fists there had either retreated or marched from the Capitol Plazay where yesterday's dem- onstration broke up under the com- pelling influence of tear gas. ‘The arresting officers declared that the Communists were shouting a rally- ing cry of “Follow on, comrades!” scuf- fling with citizens and, in some cases, blocking the traffic. ‘The District’s case was presented by Raymond Sparks, assistant corporation counsel. John R. Fitzpatrick, assistant United States attorney, declined to draw up any charges on behalf of the Government in connection with the disturbance on the reservation. He did not feel there was sufficient evidence to substantiate charges in any of the A large crowd was in the court room du the trial. Attorney Ford argued that his clients only exercised their constitutional rights in bringing a pe- tition to the House of Representatives and the Sgnate. He denied that there had been any intentional violence, nor anything un-American in action. Delegates to Conference. All of the defendants wer> delegates to a conference called here Sunday to protest alleged discriminatory legisla- tion teward the foreign born. In par- ticular the wrath of the foreigners was drawn to a bill, now pending, to pro- vide for the registration of aliens. An- other sore spot with the some 500 dele- gates, who represented labor unions of pale pink and outright red tendencies, was the report of the Fish Committee, which has been investigating Commu- nistic activities. ‘The contents of this report are as yet unknown, although the foreigners have felt it would be prejudicial to their interest since Representative Fish has made several- speeches which they feel were unfriendly to them. . Following the conference Sunday the plan to stage a demonstration before the east steps of the Capitol was pub- licly announced. The Communists gathered on Capitol Hill by twos and threes. They mingled on the grounds with a large throng of visitors and attendants at the opening of the pres- ent session. Just at noon an uniden- tified Communist ran out into the cen- ter g§ the plaza crying, “Comrades, as- semble.” s Communists Form Column. ‘Then the Communists rushed together from all parts of the Capitol grounds and formed a rude column which moved upon the east steps. At least 25 large placards, bearing inscriptions protesting reputed discriminatory legislation, were rllggd from beneath overcoats and held aloft. A heavy detail of Capitol police and arters detectives were on hand awaiting develo%\'lnenu. They rushed the assembly and bedlam ensued as they tore the placards from the hands of the demonstrators and tramped them un- derfoot.

Initial consideration will be given by the Board of Education to the five new projects recommended by Dr. Frank W. Ballou, school superintendent, in his current annual report, at the regular meeting of the board tomorrow after- noon. | Dr. Ballou’s recommendations were | presented to the board at its meeting | two weeks ago with the request that the individual members study them in preparation for definite action of some sort at tomorrow’s session. These recommendations follow: 1. That the Board of Education con- sider and take appropriate action. look- ing toward the development of reference Ilb}t“gones in the senior and junior high ls. 2. That the board make a general study of the teaching of the industrial arts in the elementary schools with a view to establishing a policy and map- ping an instruction program for this work in these classes in the face of the general reorganization of the school system under the six-year elementary, three-year junior high and three-year senior high’ school plan. Transportation Problem. 3. That the board consider the trans- portation of puplls to distant schools from neighborhoods not provided with school house accommodations in order that the final abandonment of all port- ables may be hastened. 4. That a plan be evolved whereby clerical service can be provided elemen- tary school principals without assigning a full-time clerk to each building, and that the board establish a procedure in the appointment of administrative prin- cipals which will permit well qualified persons outside of the school serviee to take examinations for appointment to these positions. Delay in Action Likely. In its session, the board may take immediate action on any one of these projects although it is likely the five q\testlons will be referred to either ex- isting committees or special groups which the president, Dr. Charles P. Carusi, may be authorized to appoint. ‘This was the first year that the super- intendent has made specific recom- mendations in his annual report con- cerning future projects. Heretofore, Dr. Ballou's annual document has been more specifically a review of projects already completed or those which have already been initiated. The new policy is expected to lend impetus to school administration progress by virtue of the fact that the boarg, gctually a non-pro- fessional group, untral in educational matters, has at least a tentative pro- gram of work laid before it. MORMONS TO BUILD CHURCH HERE SOON Sixteenth and Columbia Road Starts Shortly. An early start in the construction of a church edific: for the Church of the | Latter Day Saints on the site at the southwest corner of Sixteenth street and Columbia road, was announced today by Dr. E.

The preliminary plans on file, drawn by Young & Hansen of Salt Lake City, do not give an estimate of the cost of constructing the building. They pro- vide however, for a building 136 feet by 54 feet and rising to a maximum height of 172 feet, including the tower. The building would include a chapel, auditorium with balcony, gymnasium and nine floor divided into class rooms. truction of the building, it is said, is to be under the supervision of the parent church organization at Salt Lake City.
