Assembling on Pennsylvania avenue between Peace Monument and Seventh street, the parade moved up the Ave- nue to Thirteenth street, along E street in front of the District Building to Fourteenth and thence south to Con stitution avenue. All along the line trousands of revel- ers cheered the marchers, becoming especially vociferous in welcoming the “Imps of Hell” and the “Bury Depres- sion” floats. The crowds, after viewing the pa- rade, closed in behind it and followed it to Constitution avenue to watch the Judging. Hours after the judges had ad- Journed to the Washington Hotel to deliberate their verdicts, the crowd finally thinned out enough to permit dancing on Constitution avenue.

Hopelessly Tied Up. | Motorists were directed to drive tnto | the most convenient strcets to get around Pennsylvania avenue, but before the police realized the great numbers approaching the thoroughfares many were hopelessly tied up for an hour or more. Police at No. 2 precinct scout car en route to a fire minutes to travel two blocks. coming down Penr the Treasury Department were tied up in a heavy jam, taking some 15 minutes to_travel the length of a city block. Whil the parade passed up Pennsyl- vania avenue, an effort was made by police to keep strcet cars moving with but partial success. While the automobile traffic tempo- | rarily stopped, the street cars also had to creep along and come to a stop every few yards as the crowds left the side- walks and formed lines along the ‘sides of the tracks. Motorists not caught in the thick o the downtown jam, were forced to tak: a half hour to travel distances usuam \ traveled in a third of the time. This | was the case on Fourteenth street far | uptown and along the other leading | thoroughfares to the downtown section Sometime after 9:30 o'clock, after the parade had passed along Pennsyl- vania avenue, motor vehicles began to untangle and police officers endeavored to help matters along by guiding motor- ists as speedily as possible over street crossings. Officers Long on Duty. Inspector Ernest W. Brown in charge of the Traffic Bureau, Capt. B. A. Lamb of the Traffic Bureau and Capt. W. E. Holmes, commander of No. 1 police sta- | tion, were on duty late, using their | experience of many years in helping solve the problem of getting vehicles on the move in the congested downtown | area. In addition to the entire day shift of | No. 1 police station, which was ordered to report for extra duty last evening at 6 o'clock, some 45 men from the Po- lice School were on duty in the down- | town section. Prom the first, in addition to the ve- hicular traffic. the huge crowd of pe- destrians prc@ nted a problem, the po- lice having cifficulty in clearing them from the crossings' so motor ~trafic| could pass. Police on motoreveles rode up and down the streets in an effort to keep | the crowds on the sidewalks. But. on | Pennsylvania avenue while the parade | was passing, this idea seemed to D& | abandoned as throngs lined the center of the street to get a close up view of | the paraders. how- 1 om th f the Capitol h street on told ta 5 Motorists at sheer numbers, the huge throng was orderly and would have given no trouble except for it being so large there wasn't | room enough for it without crowding | in traffic lanes at times. While F street experienced its usual | Halloween jam, especially before an after the parade, during the time the | parade was passing a great part of the crowd, usually on that thorough- fare at Halloween, was drawn to thi section along which the parade passed. | FOREST FIRES PERIL 14 NEW GEORGIA AREAS | by Flames as Hundreds Join Forces for Fight.

W00D'S SUCCESSOR - INTERESTS PARTIES Appropriations Commlttee Head Uncer Democrats Is Speculated Upon. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. With control of the House hanging in the balance and Republican leaders admitting that the Democrats are likely to organize ths House with the election of Speaker, there is increasing interest in who is likely to succeed Representa- tive Will R. Wood of Jndiana as chair- man of the Appropriations Committee &nd who will be chairmen of the vari- cus subcommittees handling the appro- priation bills. Interest is heightened by Representa- s support of the President in the controversy with the Navy League and his denunciation of certain officials of the Navy Department as “traitors” and “betraying their trust,” because he [suspects them of maneuvers to thwart the “economy” program of lopping off | $61,000,000 from the naval budget. Arouses Salary Fight. Representative Wood's advocacy and avowed determination of reducing sala- | ries throughout the Government serv- ice aroused strong influence to prevent breaking down in this temporary emer- gency the salary structure thai it has taken so many years of patient, persist- ent effort to build up. With the prospect of the Democrats organizing the House with the election {of Representative John N. Garner as | Speaker, the next step will be to choose a floor leader. With Garner taken from the Ways and Means Committee, it eeems quite certain that Representa- tive Joseph W. Byrns of Tennessee, ranking Democrat on the Appropria- tions Committee, who has served 22 leader. This would leave Representative | James P. Buchanan of Texas, who has served 18 years consecutively, to suc- ceed Representative Wood as chairman in charge of all appropriation legisla- ion. Under this new regime—following the senjority rule—Representative Willlam A. Ayres of Kansas would become chair- man of the subcommittee to wrestle with the much-disputed naval budget. In adopting a more liberal policy to- ward the Navy than Mr. Wood has an- | rounced, Mr. Ayres would have strong support from many prominent Republi- cans in Congress. The question of Government sal- aries enters into practically all the ap- propriation bills, so that there is wide- spread interest as to who will be in charge of each appropriation bill if he Democrats win control. Following the seniority rule the ‘Treasurr -Post Office appropriation bill | would be whipped into shape by a sub- committee of which Representative Byrnes would be chairman if he con- | tinued on the Appropriations Committee, but Representative W. Arnold of Illi- n;;lls is next in line for the chairman- B ’I'he Interior Department appropria- tion bill, formerly in charge of Louis C. Cramton of Michigan, would pass into the hands of Representative Ed- ward T. Taylor of Colorado. Cannon May Have D. C. The District of Columbia appropria- tion bill, of which Representative | Robert G. Simmons of Nebraska has been in charge, but who relinquished Representative William P. Holaday of Illinois to succeed as chairman of the District in the coming session, now seems likely to be entrusted to Repre- | sentative Clarence Cannon of Missouri. | Mr. Cannon is one of those who grew up to membership in the House. The prospective chairmen of other subcommittees in charge of appropria- tion bills, if the Democrats gain con trol, under the seniority rule would be: Independent offices, Representative Clifton A. Woodrum of Virginia; State, | Justice, Commerce and Labor, Willlam B. Oliver of Alabama; Agriculture, Rep- | resentative James P. Buchanan of Texas; tive Ross A. Collins of Mississippi; leg- islative appropriations for the support | of Congress and associated institutions, John N. Sandlin of | Representative Louisiana, and of the dcficiency appro- priation bills, Representative Byrnes of he continues on the Appropriations | Committee, and if not, then Represen- | tative Buchanan.
