WOODROW WILSON By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE The Broken Friendship The Washington Times today presents the first of a series of articles on Woodrow Wilson, _ written by William Allen White. The author tells with unflinching frankness the retd story of the War President—his friendships, his enmities, his victories, and his defeats. It is the first newspaper publication of an authentic and intimate personal story of a life that was filled with dramatic intensity. The next installment will appear in this paper next Monday. In 1906 George Harvey, a newspaper man who i r had done some good messenger service for the Wail Street crowd, furnishing more brains than Wall Street ordinarily needed —George Harvey had met Woodrow Wilson, his plug hat, raglan coat, single eyeglass, in New York, where Wilson was the guest of honor at a Lotus Club dinner. On that occasion Colonel Harvey had introduced Wilson as a potential President. 1 President Wilson, having had the benediction of a Lotus Club dinner, the Brooklyn Eagle nominated him for President a few months later, and m 1107 George Harvey introduced Wilson s name as a can didate for the Democratic Senatorial nomination in New Jersey—an empty honor which earned the indorsement of a hopeless minority. But even this "honor* was denied him. He did not like the hon orable mention,” and wrote letters to friends ex pressing the messing in politics was weak ening his position in the university. In 1909 George Harvey, who was editor of ‘Harpers. Weekly, again mentioned Wilson as a Presidential possibility. But the talk o* Wilson for trov-* ernor began early in 1910. George Harvev was its mouthniece. Hf had Wall Street contacts that were in communication with the party organization. and before long negotiations were opened between Doctor Wilson and the Irish fac tion of New Jersey. Colonel George Harvey frankly asked Mr. Wilson if he would accept the nomination. He indicated that he would be glad to consider it. He went upon his summer vacation to Lyme. Conn. Then he came down to New York city, and in prominent dub he met Colonel Haryey in a con ference with five others. Harvey was sincerely Wilson’s friend and became a sort of liaison officer between Wilson, Wall Street, and the New jersey machine. He could speak the three languages needed in the conference —academic, com- mercial, and political. The Encounter. Kb wonder then that when the college president was nominated and elected Colonel George Har vey was probably, more than any other one person, responsible for that fact that Wilson was gover nor of New ‘Jersey. Two years later, with an ad mirable and unselfish devotion, Harvey was proclaiming the can didacy of Wilson for President and at the same time making a frankly reactionary paper out of Harper 1 Weekly. To one who realises Colonel Harvey’s keen perspicacity, it seems odd that he should have felt any interest m the Wilsdn presidential holding the views which H*rvev expressed in the editorial pages’of Harper’s Weekly _ By that time he must have realized that Wilson was thorough ly committed to the Progressive cause. He must also have sensed the determination on the part of Wilson to go his own way which had been characteristic of all of his public actions for nearly a decide It was obvious that Wilson was not biddable to the counsel of his friends nor the cudgeling of his enemies. And yet Colonel Harvey stuck to him. Their per sonal relations were close and pleasant. Perhaps the Wilson charm of manner and grace of spirit held George Harvey loyal against his judgment. But Wilson, as a politician of something more than a year’s practical novitiate, realized that “Harper’s Weekly was doing him no good in the West and south. Being at odd times a candid man, he said so. Colonel Harvey heard that Wilson had de clared that "Harper’s Weekly,” was hurting him. Harvey had his proper pride, and meeting Wilson in New York at the Manhattan Club, along, with Colonel Henry Watterson, of Louisville, Colonel Harvey asked Wilson, bluntly, if it was true that he felt that "Harper’s Weekly” was harming him. Harvey’s Memorandum. An account of what actually happened at that encounter. Colonel Harvey has written in a memoran dum. After he and Colonel Wat terson had brought the conversa tion to a proper place, Harvey asked: "Is there anything left of that cheap talk during the guberna torial campaign about my advo eating you on behalf of the in terests?” Governor Wilson replied with great positiveness; "Yes, there is I lunched today with two of the young men in my literary bureau, and they both declared it was having a serious effect in the west. I didn’t ask them for the informa tion, they volunteered It.” Colonel Harvey asked: "Have you thought of any way to counter act this harmful effect?" Governor Wilson replied: "X Imro not. I» tact, I am greatly nernlexed to know how to do It. T have been able *o satisfy those T can reach—but there are thous ands. of course, Whom we cannot —i have nob yet been able devise away to meet. the situation.” Harvey asked: “Ta there any thing I can do except. ,of course, ♦o s»op advocating your nomina tion?” Unheeded Sircwm. Governor Wilson answered: "I think not. At least I can’t think of anything.” 1 Colonel Harvey said: "Then I will simply sing low.” W'lson made no reply. An em barrassed pause followed, which Colonel Watterson broke with: “Yes, that is the only thing to do. The power of Wilson is very great —for myself, too I Shall not say a word Cor the nreeent.” A long pause', it must have beer bye. gentlemen.” The two insulted Colonels. Harvey Watterson, nodded responses Wilson ev*dently felt nothing im portant had been said, and went from the chib to the home of Colonel House, where, after discuss ing other things, casually, he men tioned* what he had said to Colonel. Harvey. But Colonel Harvev was wounded to the heart. Perhaps no small part of the pain of ‘he wound came from the fart that a few weeks afterward, either with Wilson’s knowledge or at least without his effective attempt to stop .it. the episode was used by the press agents of the Wilson presidential campaign, rnd Wilson was repre sented. in a highly virtuous at titude. spurning the help of a re actionary friend. There again it is difficult to assess blame, If there is blame, intelligently. Letters To Hsrvey. Later he wrote a letter to Col onel Harvey, which was published two years afterward in the New York Evening Post with Mr. Wil son’s consent, in which he spoke nf his one-track mind and observed that it could run only one train of thought at a time. He added: “A long time after that Inter view, when you asked me that ques tion aboyt the ‘Weekly’ and I an swered it simply as a matter of fact, and business. I remembered that I said never a word of my sincere gratitude to you for all your gen erous support of my hope that It, may be continued —forgive me and forget my manners.” Colonel Hervey waited two weeks, and answered that he had been pouring devotion upon Wilson out of a kind heart and a "belief that I was rendering a distinct public service.” It is evident that Harvey was cut deeply, for he closed his letter thus: "The real point at the time of your interview was, as you gptly put it, 'one simply of fact and busi ness.' And when you stated the fact to be that my support was hurting your candidacy, the only possible thing for me to do-In sim ple fairness to you. no less than In consideration of my own self respect, was to relieve you of .your embarrassment by ceasing to advo cate your nomination What ever little hurt I may have felt, as a* consequence of the unexpected peremptoriness of your attitude to ward. me, is. of course, wholly eliminated by your gracious words.” The poignant sarcasm of that last sentence, thrust in and twisted by the words “of course” is one of the classics in the history of broken friendships. A week later. Wilson wrote to Colonel Harvey a letter also widely published with Wilson's consent, which indicated that the sarcasm did not reach him. Ending his letter he writes: “All that I can say is that you have proved yourself very big, and that I wish I might have an early opportunity to tell you face to face how I really feel about It.” What the public got of the Wilson -1 Harvey episode was the slop-over from the quarrel and there can be 1 no doubt that the political use of the episode marked a, distinct ad i vance in the Wilson candidacy for the presidency.

Asks for Explanation. The text of his resolution follows: "Whereas, plays* have recently been staged in the theaters of the District of Columbia so obscene and indecent as to shock the moral sense of the community and to cause thb just condemnation of newspapers and periodicals in other parts of the country; and "Whereas, under tne constitution, the Congress has exclusive jurisdic tion over the District of Columbia; and "Whereas, it has delegated to the Commissioners of the District nt Columbia the usual police powers enjoyed and exercised by municipal authorities elsewhere in the United States; and "Whereas, in the exercise of such police powers the Commissioners of the District of Columbia -have %u --thurity to prevent the exhib.tion of improper playa or revoke the licenses of places of amusement; therefore “Be it resolved that the Commis sinners of the District of Columbia be and they are herebj directed to inform the House of Representa tives what steps, if any, they have taken to prevent staging of such improper plays.” In commenting upon his resolu tion, Congressman Dallinger de clared that Washington has been selected by producers as "the most fitting Yplace for the debut of many salacious plays, some of which were reeking with profanity and obsecnl- "Althougn I have hot seen any of the plays which have recently been shown in the theaters of the District,” Congressman Dallinger said, “it is clearly apparent fram news-paper and magazine accounts, as well as from conversation .with those who have seen them, that they are the worst that have ap peared on the American stags in a good many years. “Even the more blase patrons of the theater are shocked at th 3 un usually frank presentation of im moral themes, whim leave nothing to the imagination, and the fre quency witji whi’h profanity ind obscenity occurs.” Cites Boston Episode. Congressman Dallinger explained that 4 similar situation prevailed in Boston several years ago. As a result a severe censorship ordinance was passed, establishing a board of censors, composed of the mayor, the chief justice of the municipal court, the police commissioner and an official city censor who served as secretary. "The work of the board since its institution has be6n so effective,” Dallinger said, "that theatrical managers no longer find it expe dient or profitable to book salacious plays for the theaters of that city. "It seems highly desirable that a system along the lines of the one successfully functioning In Boston be inaugurated at once in the Dis trict in order to curb this'demoral ising factor. I feel confident that public opinion in the District would whole-heartedly support such a board just as It does in Boston.” I Radio News on Page 16. 12.000,000 0.0.

Difficulties encountered in tin taring the lateral tunnel somewhat delayed progress, but this finally was completed and work of dig ging resumed at 10. This is the quicker part of the operations. By 10:30 a. m., the character of the loose material coming from excavation in the lateral tunnel hkd changed from wet mud and rock to a dryer, sandy-like forma tion. This followed otit the pre dictions of geologists as to the nature of the earth probably sur rounding Collins’ prison chamber. It seemed at this time that at almost any moment workmen’s picks i would crash through into the lohg-looked for opening. Phone Line Installed. At 11 o’clock military authorities took a telephone instrument down into the shaft for installation at j the extreme end of the lateral pas sage. Over this will come the words “Collins found.” At eleven o’clock workers in the lateral passage came to ah arch of boulders, cemented togethe” by nature. t. Removal of. this slightly hindered progress. Only one uncertainty now looms in a 'well-mapped road to certain rescue. This is the possibility that an error in caluculation has been made and that the cavern which probably will be struck will prove not to be the long-sought *-*short cut” to Collins. Sure of Estimates Engineers, however, were vir tually certain of their estimates and hope flared high on a sounder basis than at any time since the rescue shaft was started. Six feet of progress in the lateral tunnel were made during the night. Kehoe reported, making the total side-drift thirteen feet long at 7:30. Original estimates, placed Collins in a location at fifteen feet laterally and six feet downward from the level of the shaft) at Which tunnel ling was started- The lateral tunnel is being driven at slight angle v<hich will bring its innermost terminus appromximate ly six feet lower than the point where It starts from the shaft. Taking Easiest Way. “We are taking the road of easi est resistance," H. T. Carmichael, superintendent of. operations, ex plained. “If the wall looks safer to the left, why then, the left is right. We go around the rocks, under them, any way to get through safely. The cave-ins have changed our plans considerably. Where originally there has been a five foot wall, after the cave-in, the roof is likely to be ten feet high.” The opening which it is expected the lateral tunnelling will strike. General Kehoe said, is the M-foot

Senator Means of Colorado, chair man of the subcommittee, said that he had expected to report the nomi nations at today's full meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee, but that Senator Caraway of Arkansas, a member of the subcommittee, an nounced that he had just received additional data which he desired to Investigate. Despite this eleventh hour oppo sition,-Jt appears to be a foregoing conclusion that both of the judges will receive the approval of the Senate Judiciary Committee for sec ond terms of office Recommendation that both judges be confirmed will be made because serious charges against them were not proved it is said. A change in the Juvenile Court i law and in the present bondsmen system may be recommended how ever. I Judge McMahon and Judge Sel lers both personnally appeared be fore the subcommittee and appeared tto register favorable impressions upon the investigating Senators. SENATE7FTHY D.G.

Boyce Says He’s Through Globe-Trotting; Has Just Returned From Africa Colonel William D. Boyce, nat uralist, explorer, and famed trav eler, who has just returned to this country after his forty-second trip into unknown parts of the world, is spending the week-end at the Congressional Country Club, renew ing acquaintances after an absence of nearly three years in Africa. The latest objective of Colonel Boyce’s exploration has been Mo rocco, Tunis and Algeria, gathering material for the completion of. a new series of historclal books on foreign travel. Says He’s “Through.” His hobby—an almost insatiable one—ls travel, and for the past thirty-five/ years he has followed the lure of the unexplored trail. However, he now declares that he is through, and hopes he’ll never cross the ocean again. Travel, Colonel Boyce declares, is only secondary to a high school education -and is one of main Business In and Between— One of the reasons for this Bank’s, rapid growth is our keen remem brance of this fundamental fact: Business is done in money and scrip but it is transacted between man and man. This keeping of the friendly, human element ever uppermost, making cold banking business warmly interesting, genuinely and personally helpful, has been a big factor in swelling our de posits from $47,000 to over one-half million in three years. Let Us Demonstrate the Advantages of Personalized Banking Service JOSBPH BCfIIAVONK, President INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE BANK sth H N. W. Under Government Supervision 1 factors in securing a breadth of vision that cannot be acquired in any other way. To get the most out of sight-see ing and touring in a foreign) coun try,' he recommends that the first thing a traveler should do is go immediately to the United States consul office in the port where he lands and let them kelp him in fixing their itinerary. "Customs, especially in Africa, the Orient, and India are so dif ferent from what they are in this country and Europe that a white man cannot comprehend them easily, and the advice of American attaches abroad can make one’s trip more profitable and plsasant," Colonel Boyce declares. Os all sights in any land, he declares, nothing so thrills an American traveler as the sight of his flag atop some building in a foreign land dr flying from the mast of a ship. In Morocco, Algeria and Tunis —the land of his last exploration —there is little of future possibili ties for American business, he ds* dares, "due primarily to the poverty of the mass of the popu lation." x i Date Is Chief Food. Their exports are confined primarily to birdseed and dates— exported chiefly to the United States. What rice Is to the Chinese, the date is to the inhabit ant of northern Africa. Its value as a food product is demonstrated, he points out, by the fact that a man can live for thirty days with out water or food—other than the date. From here Colonel Boyce will go to his home, in the suburbs of Chicago and again take up his fiwins mm STEALSON Boy Retrieved After Chase by Arlington Police; Parents Are Separated ARLINGTON COUNTY, Feb. 16. —After ,a half-mile chase down Wilson boulevard yesterday, Police man William Thompson stopped Mrs. Edward Kohelbrenner, who it was alleged was trying to steal her eon from the home 4>f his father at Bon Air.

4 JEAN ELIOT’S NEWS AND GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON SOCIETY SENATELADIES AND HOUSE REUNITE Skirmish Between Fac tions at Congress Hall. Now Over By JEAN ELIOT. THE demure announcement that the Congressional ladies of tne Senate and the House living at Congress Hall would be at home this afternoon from 4 to 6 o’clock ap peared in yesterday’s papers. And thereby hangs a tale—a. tale of what started out to be a revolution, but which, having t been put down, may ■ow be described as a revolt. “Now it may be told” that-there has been a buss of gossip about what has been described as ‘‘an attempt to introduce caste into Congress Hall.” For years it has been the custom df all official women living in this stronghold of the Congressionals, Senators’ wives and Representa tives’ wives, to receive together, once or twice a year, selecting Monday afternoons in order to make it easy for the Senatorial and Congressional ladles who live in the northwest section and who are themselves at home on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, respectively, to pay their calls on Capitol Hill. This year, however, the Senators* wives took things into their own hands, decided to' have their own day at home' and sent out invita tions for a reception one Thursday afternoon early in January. Some what disgruntled, the House ladies were obliged in self-defense to re ceive by their lonesome*. The change made considerable talk and when one or two of the Senators' wives asked House wom en from their own State to assist "them, they refused, fearing to get in wrong with their own associates. Then, it is whlpered, the woman who started the whole business was called away from town. And now any differences which may have existed must have been composed, for both Houses are represented in the group at home today. The receptions at Congress Hall are among the most picturesque events ot the official season in Washington, the long line, of host eeses reaching imposing proportions and the little baskets or trays set out for cards, a score or more of them, contributing a distinctive touch. The drawing rooms are always decked out with flowers and there is always music during the afternoon. Beaate and House Ladies Sometimes “Friendly Enemies.” The undercurrent of—»well. one can hardly call it friction—between the Senate ladies and the ladies of the House may be said to date from the formation of the Ladies of the Senate, or rather from the continua tion of this war-working organisa tion as a luncheon club. Many of the women of the House contingent felt that it was rather unfriendly to set up such a close corporation more or less in opposition to the- Congressional Club which was de signed to bring the women of both Houses into elose social contact Something of this feeling may weH have contributed tothe results of the Congressional Club elections this year. It has been an unwrit ten law that a Senator’s wife and a Congressman’s wife should alter nate in the role of president of the organisation. But, although Mrs. James F. Byrnes, wife of Congress man Byrnes, is the retiring presi dent, another Congressman’s wife, Mrs. Lindley M. Hadley, has been elected as her successor. Mrs. Hadley lives at Congress Hall and ft is said that the back ing. of her fellow residents did much to secure her election. In an effort to bring about a liaison with the upper House, two Senate ladies. Mr*. Porter Dale and Mrs. Carra way, were elected to office, but the board is preponderantly representa tive of the House. DHAN OF DIPLOMATS MUCH FETED NOWADAYS. The Spanish Ambassador and Mme.

A DAY’S WALK With JIM lUNG—I The Ballad of Rockville Jazz. (Author’s Note: Regardless of the literary merit, if any, of this masterpiece, it should be preserv ed for your grandchildren, just to show them that Rockville used to be as wild as Kokomo, ans\ how, in the good old days of 1925. Oh, gather round and hear my toy Os Rockville, bold and daring,*:. And how, upon a fatal day, There was a feast, with ladies gay Their underpinning baring. It was a sumptuous dinner, where The veterans had gathered. The chaplain opened with a p¥ayer, The diners heard with sober air (Notxtoeing, so far, lathered.) U if But, as tbe turkey followed fish. The liquor started workln’ J; A speaker bored. A pointed wish For silence was expressed by switoh Os flying fqwl and gherkin. The spattered 'speaker sat him i down, (The hint was most effective), v -f A dancer passed the tables down. The chaplain watched her with" a frown And muttered dire invective. v t Another ’’snappy” dancer pleased The sober and the woozy. And when another hoofed and wheezed, Tbe chaplain the occasion seized To say “The party’s boozy!” The chaplain soon his post re- AncMspoke with warmth and vigor On what was chiefly in his mind— The bottles on the table lined And many a dancing “figger.” Denials came in, thick 4.nd fast. The vet’rans cried: “Oh, OH,siri” And if to mejthe question passed Os what occurred at that repast I’d say: “I do not know, sir!” If Floyd Collins is still alive, we suppose he lives on the hope that the daily reports of “only two days more” will come true some of these days. Washington’s Birthday will soon be hare, and With it, we suppose, the usual picture of young George chopping down the fictitious cherry tree on the grounds of Mt. Vernon, where he never lived during his early childhood, and making a bright remark that he never actually did* make to his father. Outside of these few, trifling discrepancies, Ye Ed has nothing whatever against Washington’s Birthday. DAVID WIENER AGAIN 'HEADS Y. M. H. A.

6 LIOLIWEg IT MEMORIAL SERVICE Joint Exercises Held for Civil War President and Douglass Thousands of colored citizens crowded both the Metropolitan A. M. E. aq* Vermont Avenue Baptist churches yesterday afternoon, where joint memorial exercises were held in honor of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. H. R- Moore, Congressman from Ohio, the principal speaker at the Metropolitan meeting, said of Abn ham Lincoln: "The life ot .Lincoln proves America to be a land of opportunity. Had Lincoln been born in any other country be would have lived and died a peasant." In speaking of Lincoln’s sense of humor, he compared him to the colored American, whose light heartedness, he pointed out, was his saving grace. "While Lincoln was a great citi sen, he was a greater Christian,” concluded Moore. Among other speakers at Metro politan were Neval H. Thomas. Dean Lucy Slowe. Nannie H. Bur roughs, Mrs, James C. Napier and Bishop W. T. Vernon, of the A. M.> E. Church. Music was furnished by the men’s chorus of the Asbhry M. E. Church. The meeting was under the aus pices of the Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs of Washington, and Was presided over by its president, Julia Wast Hamilton. "Nothing ever shook the faith of Frederick Douglass Jn the sense of justice in the American heart." said Professor Charles IF Thomas, prin cipal speaker at the Vermont church meeting. "Rising from the depths of slavery.” continued the speaker, “his matchless oratory, his indus try and his friendships among the dominant'people of this and other countries stamped him as an ex ample of the possibilities of Amer ica." Other speakers were Anna Evans Murray, Mrs. G. Pelham. Mrs. Warell Ball. Marla Harris, Celia Branon, Tennie Davis, F. D. Lee, Daniel Freeman and the Reverend Doctors James H. Marshall, A. L. Tyler and James E. Willis. The meeting was under the auspices of the District Federated Colored Women’s Clubs and the Mount Bethel Baptist State conven tion.

HOUSE ASKED TO PROBE ACTIVITIES OF HOOVER A Congressional investigation Into alleged interference by Secretary Herbert Hoover |n the management of the Department of Agriculture was demanded today by George N. Peek, of Moline, 111., representing the American Council of Agricul ture, at a hearing before the House Agricultural Committee. Peek charged that Hoover was dominating affairs In the Depart ment of Agriculture to the extent of controlling its policy and dictat ing'its personnel. Peek insisted that Hoover had dictated in part the report of the agricultural commission which re cently reported to President Cool idge on farm relief legislation. He said the farmers of the country do not support the policy concerning agriculture which has been' ad vanced by Secretary Hoover. MRS. WIjLLEBRANDT WARNS OF DRY LAW VIOLATIONS Violation of the Eighteenth amendment is leading to the easy going violation of other laws, in the opinion of Mrs. Mabel Walker Wlllebrandt, Assistant Attorney General, who addressed the National Woman’s Party yesterday. "The fundamental principle of authority, upon which all sound government rests, is being assailed in parts of the United States," she said. "One of the chief causes is the two-faced official, willing to jutlfy a private violation of the law, while publicly declaring in its favor.” Mrs. Willebrandt said that politi cal considerations should not be permitted to interfere with the en forcement of the Volstead act, and plain they resented the publicity its administration. t THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Hatto&Drily V MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1925.

The orchestra will play Beetho ven’s Ninth Symphony. A shcrt r exposition will Be given by Doctor Damrosch of Beethoven’s last and greatest symphony. Beethoven the idealist was not content merely to protest his criti cism of life. So, having expressed in the first movement, his dissatis ffcctjon with things as they are, he I sets forth in qliest of a remedy for the ills he deplores—and finds it in the ideal of universal peace add Comradship through joy, triumph- j g- antly proclaimed in'tWe finale, re This finale based on Schiller s s "Ode to joy” is the supreme ex pression of Beethoven’s social ideal ism. Os that democratic spirit which had inspired him twenty f years earlier to write his “Third Symphony” in honor of Napoleon, the champion of the people, and then to revoke the dedication when his hero turned autocrat.

George Ashman will be at the piano. Not within memory was any other artist so quickly received and so generously praised during 'a first season as was Paul Kochanski. This remarkable young man not only made friends at ohce, by rea son of his superb krt and his genial personality, but made a record of four appearances in New York, closely following his debut, at which he disclosed more angles to his playing not even suspected. He had an assurance that permitted him to perform a number of Altra modren compositions that again challenged criticism, but Invariably his performance was of such a dig nified and lofty character as to be get admiration instead of adverse comment. Such polished, consummate art is the climax of something far beyond study and tradition. Os the younger violinists, he stands at the top, yet ranks with the greatest in the world toda>.

"Jn suggesting vaccination, I do aot Want to give the impression there is a smallpox epidemic here.V Doctor Fowler said, on the corp trary, we have had no unusual number of cases. The patients, however, have suffered from a severe type of the disease. "There are undoubtedly cases of the disease the department has not discovered. There is, of course, no way for a laymen to tell whether he is in contact with a person suffering with smallpox, and there for some caution, is advisable.” The patient taken to the hos pital yesterday, a student at the George Washington University Medical School, is seriously Ul. The other patient is on she road to recovery. Four In Nineteen Years. The death of Miss Highlen is the fourth smallpox death in Wash ington In nineteen years. On Feb ruary 12, Miss Amy Goven, stu dent nurse at Garfield Hospital, died: on January 25, Boyd Bisen, of 1343 L street northwest, died, and on January 34, Mrs. Millicent Cooper, a policewoman, of 1343 L street northwest, died. Sixteen cases of the disease have been re ported since January 1. "We almost always have some cases of smallpox here,” Doctor Fowler added. "But most of the cases have been mild, and there* usually are no deaths Doctor Fowler declares there is little danger-of the disease spread ing throughout the city. He says that Doctor John T. Sprague, chief of the Contagious Disease Bureau of the Health Department, and in spectors are making every effort to prevent any contagion. Doctor Fowler said today that neither Miss Higlen nor Miss Goven had been vaccinated against small pox. I Out of respect to the memory of Mr. E.

AT IMF Hl ulluL President Anxious to Afford District Immediate Relief. Reed at White House

Tn an eleventh hour effort to force rent legislation tor the Dis trict of Columbia during the pres ent session of Congress, President Coolidge will summon the Hoose leaders, including Congressmen Longworth and Snell, to the White z House in the near future. JrS Despite tremendous pressure against the legislation, President Coolidge has not swayed in his belief that some form of rent regulation should be continued in Washington, and he does not im tend to abandon his efforts to have the legislation enacted. Reed Sees President. This fact developed* today after the President had- conferred with <VwigiTßcman Reed, chairman *of the House District Committee, who brought an encouraging report to him regarding the legislative con gestion that exists in the lower chamber, and assured him that vital District legislation will be passed. So far as can be learned the Presi dent regards the rent bill as the most tanportant District measure be fore Congress, inasmuch as the pres ent Rent Commission expires under statutory limitations in May. President Coolidge will probably confer soon with Administration spokesmen in the Senate. In some circles it hks been said that If President Coolidge applies sufficient pressure on Congress the rent legis lation can be passed at this session. Amendment of the pending rent bin for the District, to clarify and simplify accounting, was asked by Comptroller General McCarl in the report submitted to Congress today. The Comptroller General suggest ed two minor amendments for this feiooO of lettr. and from all- parts of the country, both favoring and opposing the rent laws, continues unabated. Among the communications re ceived today were telegrams from, the Building Owners and Managers Association of California, in conven tion at Fresno, and a -letter from a similar association at St. Louis.
