Louis B. Howell, rector of the historical St Paul's Episcopal church here, won a complete victory in the Internal church fight which threatened the disruption of the parish, when an entire new slate of church officers was elected at the an- nual meeting last night. The meeting was a continuation of the year old fight to determine whether survices at the church would be either “high” or “low.” Trouble was precipitated over right of certain ones at_the meeting to vote, and a letter from Bishop Brewster to Rev. Mr. Howell was read defining the church canon regarding woters. Two slates of officers wers in the field last night and the meeting more nearly re- sembled a political caucus than it did a church meeting. Rector Howell's “slate” won by a vote of 51 to 45.

Washington, Jan. 6.—The house late today passed the first annual supply measure drafted under the budget system —the treasury appropriation bill carrying approximately $169,000,000, of which $9.250,000 % for enforcement of prohibi- tion during the fiscal year beglnning next July 1. The measure was sent to the senate without a record vote, practically no op- position developing to its various pro- visione. Only one amendment was adopted, which several sections were eliminatedion. points of order. Representative Hill, republican, Mary- land, made an unsuccessful attempt to cut the amount provided for prohibition enforcement $250.000, but his amendment was quickly snowed hder. At the outset the Maryland member proposed that the amount for enforcing the hteenth amendmen: be glashed to s 000, with the added provision that if any additional funds were needed states which he saild had” acted concurrently witit the fedezal government in bringing on prohibition should contribute as they saw fit. This proposal, however, was knocked out on a point of order and Mr. Hill \then called for 2 vote on the straight question of reducing che appro- priation. Little discussion was provoked by pro- hibition and once (he Hill amendment was disposed of the house proceéded to couslder action of other features cf the bill. On a point of order by Representative Walsh. republicgn, Massachusetts, pro- ision for a $10,000 salary for an under- secretary of the treasury was eliminated. The effect of the budget system, mem- bers said, was evident in the few changes proposed. A vear ago the various ap- propriation bills were the target of doz- ens of amendments and points of order.

It was presented by the Societe Des Femmes De France, of New York, and was dedicated “to the women of America.” Secretary Weeks, accepting the gift in behalf of the United States, sald it would stand “as a monument fo the highest attainments in human life—faith in God, devotion to country, and charac- ter without a blemish.” “Many individuals have had their day in the life of a nation, and have acquired national reputation.” Mr. Weeks contin- ued, “a few have rendered such service to mankind thai they have attained in- ternational, reputation and - permanent place in history. Such men and women do not beinnz to tha country of thelr nativity but to the whole world. America has given the world two such men— Washington, whose leadership . brought victory to our struggle for independence and made possible this great republic, and Lincoln, who saved the republic from de- struction and gave frcedom to an en- slaved race. France has given mankind Jeanne DrArc, one of tho most atriking and unusual figures in the world's his- tory. That a young woman, hardly of an age, and certainly without ‘experience, which would have warranted her being piaced in a posiiion of unuswal responsi: bility, could inspire her countrymen to deeds of valor and sacrifice, and ulti- mately lead them to victory and liberty, is' without parallel in the history of the worid. By her undaunted courage. her unfaltering faith, her own strength of character and purity of !fe, and an un- dving devotion to a cause she deemed just, Jeanne D'arc Kindled throughout France a flame of enthuslasm that noth- ing could resist. Although the flames consumed her body, they could not de- stroy the spirit of vatriotisre and devo- tion which dominated hsr life, 'm spirit which has thrilled the ages and has ever inspirde the French to deeds of bravery and sacrifice, in defense of their native land.” Ambassador Jusserand replied briefly to Mr. Weeks, .expressing the thanks of France for “the beautiful tribute” by the secretary of war, and ‘read a message from the president of thé French repub- lic, addressed to President Harding, which sa‘ “Your presence and that of Mrs. Hard- ing at the jnauguration of the statue of Joan of Arc at Washington touches the French people very decyiy.
