"He told me he had inherited a large sum of money which was to go to charity and showed me a big roll of bills. We didn’t go '-o the show, but met another man. “An argument started as towhien one of us was worth the most money, and J admitted that I was no slouch of a financier myself, and said I would show them the money represented in my bank book the next day. Got SI,OOO Bills. “When I drew out the money Monday morning I got the $5,000 in one thousand dollar bills but my two “friends” advised me not to show it around. "In some way or another my bankroll got into a tin box, or at least I thought it did until I got home and opened the box. There was nothing in the box but news paper around which was wrapped a few one dollar bills.” Lippen didn’t go to work yester day but after drawing out the re mainder of his savings from the bank returned home to bewail his loss.

Vernon Place Church and resulted in defeat, by a vote of 137 to 141, of the proposed unification of the Northern and Southern branches of the church, split asunder eighty years ago over the slavery question. The conference broke into un controlled applause during the parliamentary maneuvering pre ceding the final vote and was quieted only with difficulty by the presiding bishop, Warren A. Cand ler, of Atlanta, Ga. "We don't want that sort of thing,” the bishop said sharply, and there was no further noisy demonstration. Atmosphere Tense. The vote today is the first to be taken in North Ametica since the question was referred to the general conferences by the general conferences of the two churches. The atmosphere in the church was painfully tense during the bal loting, and many of those who voted announced their votes in voices that trembled with emotion. Some of the voters were given in so low a tone of voice that Bishop Candler was forced to ask two ox thro* limos for tho vole. RUM AUTO IN IS MILE BATTLE

Gunplay Follows Capture of Two Big Stills—Brothers Taken by Dry Agents A running gun fight over a 15- mile stretch between half a dozen prohibition agents and two alleged bootleggers took place early today in the vicinity of Mechanicsville, Md., and resulted in the rum auto being peppered with shots. The gun play followed the cap ture of two 500-gallon stills, com pletely-‘Equipped, and 12,000 lons of mash, together with an ox cart and 140 gallons of corn whiskey. Brothers Captured. Two brothers, George and Wil liam Dodson, both colored, manned the machine which led the pro hibition agents such a merry chase. No one was Injured and both of the men were taken to Baltimore for hearing. Before the fight, the agents seized another limousine as it was ap proaching one of the stills and arrested two more brothers, Row land and Oliver Brawner, colored. The agents reported to Harry Luckett, divisional prohibition chief, that this car was equipped with a smoke screen. Boy Also Arrested. A fifteen year old boy who said his name was "Blake,” was also taken into custody at one of the stills by the prohibition agents and taken to Baltimore. Earlier in the evening Lieutenant O. T. Davis and Sergeant James McQuade and Private Holmes gave chase to a touring car loaded with liquor. They frightened the occu pants of the car after it had got ten about three city blocks in Maryland on the Marlboro pike and it swerved down an embank ment. It is reported that many of the liquor jars in the car were broken but nearly forty gallons were seized intact. So hadly was the auto wrecked that it was necessary for Chief Luckett to send out a wrecking crew to bring it in.

COOUDGE POTS ■OUT ONI.LG. Makes Recess Appointment, in Defiance of Senate, Which Refused to 0. K. Choice President Coolidge took another thrust at the Senate today by giv ing a recess appointment to Thomas F. Woodlock, New York financial writer, as member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Both in the regular and extra ses sion, the Senate, because of oppo sition of Southern Democrats, re fused to confirm Wootllock. Dem ocrats demanded that the vacancy on the commission be given to a man from the south. Woodlock’s name was first sent to the Senate by President Coolidge several weeks before adjournment. It was referred immediately to the Interstate Commerce Committee where it was pigeonholed and never got to the floor for a vote. On the last day of the extra ses sion the President, overriding the advice of Republican leaders again submitted the appointment. Demo crats, under the leadership of Sen- I ator Smith (Dem.) of South Caro lina, set up a storm of protest, and Administration chiefs did not press for action, suggesting to the Presi dent that he give Woodlock a re cess CYRUS CURTIS’ YACHT ANCHORS IN POTOMAC The steam yacht Lyndonia, owned by Cyrus H.

Y., Succeeds H. H. Votaw to Post Luther C. White, of Massachu setts, today was appointed super intendent of Federal prisons under the Department of Justice. He succeeds H. H. Votaw. brother-in law of the late President Harding. White is an experienced prison official. He has made a particular study of the industrial side of prison life, and only recently has made a thorough examination of the Atlanta and Leavenworth insti tutions. Prior to becoming Superintend ent of Industries at Sing Sing in 1915. White was for years a manu facturer himself in New England. After his Sing Sing service, he be came head of the Department of Corrections in New York, and it was from this post that Attorney General Stone appointed him to the Department of Justice. White is a strong believer in efficient industry in prison life. It is his belief that most trouble !in Federal prisons, such as that recently experienced at Atlanta, can be traced directly to idleness among the inmates. NURSES’ BUCKET BRIGADE SAVES MD.

DFFiCIALS ASKED ID PROBE GASE Charge Is Said to Have Been Made by Members of Teaching Staff Unexpected complication was given to the disturbance over clandestine membership in Greek letter societies in the Washington high schools with the request before schools officials today, calling on them to investigate the report that faculty members of the high schools are them selves members of the fraternal bodies which have fallen under the ban of the Board of Education. This charge has been whis pered about since the fraternity row broke. That certain faculty members belonged to fraternities was declared to be “known” by individuals who discussed the ques tion outside of official hearing. The assertion assumed tangible form today, however, when it was learned that school officials have been told that the situation exists and have been called upon to investigate. Source of Request. The request for the investigation has come from certain members of the teaching staff of one of the high schools. One school officer, who desired to remain unnamed for the pres ent, declared today that member ship of teachers in the fraternities is responsible largely for the lack of respect on the part of students for the ruling of the school board prohibiting membership in secret societies. "It is the lack of moral leader ship on the part of teachers who belong to fraternities that accounts for the defiance by students of the Board of Education,” this officer declared. Acting Superintendend Stephen E. Kramer today admitted that he has received the request to investigate the report of faculty membership in banned organization. Mr. Kramer is ill at his home and was unable to draft his reply, but he indi cated that he would ask for specific information, and until re ceiving that would not feel that there was sufficient ground for proceeding. Matter To Go To Ballou. Mr. Kramer will place the mat ter before Superintendent Frank W. Ballou on his return to the city tomorrow from a tour of northern cities. Meanwhile the assertion con tinues to be made in varied quar ters. It is not confined to school circles. Parents of high school students say they have received such information. Teachers declare that they know that certain faculty members belong to banned socle ties. From fraternity circles, too. comes statements that faculty members are "understood" to be long to fraternities. What action will be taken, if specific Information is revealed, was indicated today by Acting Superintendent Kramer, who said, that if positive facts were revealed recommendation would be made to the board to deal with the -offend ing teachers for their disregard of board rules. Are the members of secret socie ties among the student body of Western High school keeping under cover for a reason? That’s IW whisper with which 1

Under the new law an annual examination may be required, if the director chooses, before the permit is re- newed. Coupled with a proper In- vestigation of the case, this will permit an absolute check on the I individual case. •‘There is no question, however that the printing or the photograph on the permit would remedy mnnj of the existing evils and I am ce> tain that before another year has passed the photographic permit will be required by law.” BOARD TO HEAR RAIL WAGE DISPUTE Capital Traction Employes And Officials To Appear Before Arbitrators The wage dispute between em ployes and officials of the Capital Traction Company, will be heard tomorrow morning before a board of arbitration which is to meet at ten o'clock In the Federal Ameri can Bank Building.

WHY A LEAGUE COURT WHEN WE HAVE THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL? ADVOCATES FORCING KIM Senate May Have to Answer Question With Legislation at Coming Session This 'summer will be spent in ■n unparalleled propaganda both by the advocates and by the opponents of American entrance into the Permanent Court -of Inter national Justice. Both sides are. girding them selves for a final and decisive trial of strength on this subject. Two immense international sub jects were left over from the late Congress into the next Con gress. One is the matter of world courts The other is the matter of American influence in a further international limitation of armaments. The opponents of American en trance into the Permanent Court of International Justice realize that they have been driven into a corner. They realize that unless they break out of it and come forward and do some devastation, if they can, on behalf of some positive idea of their own. they will be defeated in the United States Senate when it meets again next December. They realize that without some constructive activity on their part, the United States is due to join the Permanent Court of International Justice some time before the next Congress adjourns. In these circumstances they are bestirring themselves, especially through the American committee for the outlawry of war, to make the best last /showing that they can for their side of the argument. Senator Borah of. Idaho, Chair man of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, continues to be in deep sympathy with the ideas and policies of the American Com mittee for the Outlawry of War, which was founded by Salmon O. Levinson, of Chicago, and which has gained the influential support of the writings of ProfessonJohn Dewey and the speeches of Colonel Raymond Rebins, of Chicago, for merly a member of the Republican National Executive Committee. When the Senate re-con ven es in December, there will be an historic pitched battle in it between two conflicting idear regarding the at tainment of peace in the world. On the one side there will be al most all the Democrats and a cer tain considerable number of Repub licans who favor American entrance into the Permanent Court of Inter national Justice, set up by the League of Nations, on the ground that the United States ought to co operate in every sincere effort to establish international judicial means of settling international disputes. On the other side there will be Senators, virtually all of them Re publicans, who will fall into two classes. One class will be typified by Senator Johnson of California, who will oppose American entrance into the Permanent Court of Inter national Justice on the single ground that it implies a step toward the League and therefore a step toward pss= ~il WRIGHT SPECIALS 'll 77 0 ese “Pledged to Quality" Fourteenth St. at New York Ave. I 1 —for Spring Will !I IIM all layer felt Mattresses j B 7*»10 905 7th Street N.

These friends of the League frighten votes away from the Court in the Senate whenever they permit themselves to gloat over the Permanent Court i of International Justice z as a League institution. Differing from Johnson of Cal -1 ifornia, however, is a second class i of United States Senators interested in the so-called "Outlawry of War” as a peace alternative both to the, Permanent Court of International Justice (as now organized) and to L the whole league. itself. These gentlemen maintain that If r a court without compulsory jurisdic j tion (like the Permanent Court of International Justice) is all we j want, why. we already have a per fectly good one in the already exist- j ing "Hague Tribunal.” r They have thought up for them s selves a slogan which they intend b to use without pause in their propa r ganda this summer and in their arguments in Washington next winter. This slogan seems to have i been devised or developed by a e clergyman named M. V. Oggel and 3 has been considerably exploited by the widely read Teligious periodical "The Christian Century” of Chi- cago. It is as follows: 1 “Is there any conceivable ques t tion which we would be willing to submit to the Permanent Court of International Justice which we would not be willing to submit to i the Hague Tribunal?” I It is the delight of Doctor C. C. i {Morrison, editor ’of the Christian Century, and of other enthusiasts I for the "Outlawry of War” idea, -!to follow up Raymond Fosdick and I Manley O. Hudson and other dis- I tinguished friends qL-the Permanent Court of International Justice with a continuous questioning on this s point. Mr. Fosdick and Mr. Hudson in s reply do not mention any specific I question which the United would be willing to refer to the Permanent Court of International s I Justice and not to The Hague tribunal, since It sits continuously and not merely (like The Hague tribunal) when convened to deal with some one specific dispute. Throughout this summer the con- troversy between the merits of The s Hague Tribunal and the merits of the Permanent Court of Interna* tional Justice will rage between the two sides on the platform and in 1 periodicals and pamphlets.

WITH MOTHER Victor de Polignac En Route to Louisiana, Where Father’s Memory Will Be Honored Sixty-one years after his dis tinguished father forsook the court life of France, to volunteer his services in the army of the con federacy, Prince Victor de Polignac, accompanied by his mother. Princesse Camille de Polignac, of Paris, will be present ft ceremonies to be held in honoY ✓of Major General Camille de t’ollgnac, at Mansfield, La., April 8. The Prince and Princesse de Polignac, are staying at the Wil lard for three or four days, fol lowing which they will journey to Mansfield where a monument will be erected in memory of Major General de Polignac. The prince, a tall slender young man, who speaks English better than the average American, modest ly related the story of his father’s services to the Confederate States. Major General de Polignac was bom in France in 1832. He served the Crimean war. When war between the American States broke out, de Polignac sympathized with the cause of the South. He offered his services to the Con federacy in 1861, and the same year was commissioned to the staff of General Beauregard. He served with the artny in Louisiana, and won distinction at the Battle of Mansfield, April 8-9, 1864. With rare military foresight, coupled with heroism, he successfully turned the tide of battle and the engagement was won for the South. Shortly afterward, to France to endeavor to obtain financial aid for the South. Then came the news of Lee’s surrender. He fought against Germany in 1870-71, distinguishing himself at the Battle of Beaune la Rolande. After the Franco-Prussian war, he traveled a great deal through South America. He died in 1913, beloved by the people of the South for whom he sacrificed so much. Princess de Polignac is a daughter of Sir Charles Allonson. of Waver ley, Worcester, England. EASTERN SHORE BEING SCOURED FOR FUGITIVES SALISBURY, Md., March 25. Refreshed by a few houqs rest, fifty deputy sheriffs, state police men and heavily armed citizens renewed their search for Andrew and Luther Bevans, escaped cri minals, believed hiding in Croppers Neck swamp near here. The men escaped yesterday after 1 seriously wounding their guards, William W. Davis and William Purnell. An all-night search led by bloodhounds Imported from Vii- ginia, yielded no trace of the fugi tives. that The Hague Tribunal is just as good as tho Permanent Court of International Justice will be used i by the enemies of the Permanent i Ccurt as their first line of offense against it. Then, as soon as the i Senate re-convenes, their second line of offense will be thrown into ac i tion through Senator Borah’s reso lution in favor of the "Outlawry of War.’L.

LONDON, March 25.—The British government believes, it was learned unofficially today, that sufficient progress haa been made on tho question of security to justify Pres ident Coolidge in calling a dis armament conference without fear of the land armament problem caus ing difficulty. The unofficial opinion followed a statement in the House of Commons last night by Austen Chamberlain, foreign secretary, in which he said, in effect, that Great Britain was ready to underwrite any proposals which Germany might make looking toward permanent peace in Europe Chamberlain outlined the "liquid” proposals which Germany was pre pared to make. These were: A special treaty guaranteeing security to France. A mutual understanding with all powers interested In the Rhine. An arbitration agreement with all countries bordering on Germany. Ready for Conference. The allies have practically agreed to hold a conference. International News Service learned. France has suggested, however, that diplomatic exchanges might accomplish the same result without a conference. France is said to have agreed to the German “liquid’’ offers with modifications as a basis of discus sion. Chamberlain applied the woi-d "liquid” to the German pro posals, explaining that not intended to be concrete. Great Britain now is definitely lined up with Germany in the prob lem of European security against another war, the Express indicated today in commenting on Chamber lain’s statement. Will France Agree? The majority in Commons appears to have accepted Chamberlain’s declaration with enthusiasm. The question now is, commons was ask ing whether France will accede to the suggestions. Chamberlain, in effect, said Great Britain would underwrite any security promise.-; Germany would make, especially re garding its eastern frontier. 3

She remained in London when Brince Antoine Bibasco, minister of Rumania, returned to his post, with at dislocated ankle as an excuse and i>r absorption of in rehearsals for >r play—her serious stage venture, though she has several successful novels to her credit—as the real reason for lingering. However, the play had its premier March 16 with a fashionable au- Sence crowding the Everyman Theater at Hampstead, a sort of glorified “parish hall,” in which Norman Macdermott has been try ing out some interesting plays. I must confess to not having seen the reviews of the piece so far, but from London writtenjust wior to its opening told all about the Plans for its presentation, the interest It was creating among so ciety folk, and gave some idea of the what the play is like.

Once upon a time When she was Miss Elizabeth Asquith, Princess Bibesco wrote a one-act play called ?Off and On.” which was given for charity during the war before Queen Alexandra. It is described as a bright little piece, but the ac counts of this occasion state that Unfortunately—although not un naturally the girl-author, who played the leading role, was a bit diffident and half her lines were test to ths audience. Since then the Princess has confined her writing to short stories and novels., “Bal loons” and “The Fir Tree and the Pine” have run through several American editions and so has a volume of short stories, **l Have Only Myself to Blame.” I In addition to helping rehearse Ser company in “The Painted swan,” the princess has found time to write a new voiumne of •bort stories.

Mr. Syme made this announce ment in a letter to The Washington i Times, the newspaper which led ttie j fight in behalf of the public in tne controversy involving $6,000,000 in ■an Impounded fund. Through the efforts of Mr. Syme and others connected with the Pub lic Utilities Commission, the valua tion case, after being in local courts for seven years, was settled several i months ago, the public getting $3,000,000 of the impounded fund.

His letter, explaining his withdrawal, and addressed to The Washington Times and the .Washington Herald follows: “The result of the litigation in the Potomac Electric Power Com pany case was the securing of a refund of about $3,000,000 to elec tric light consumers 11 the District of Columbia, and a saving to them of about $1,000,000 annually here after. "When I authorized the filing of a petition, asking the court to allow me a reasonable compensation for professional services performed in the case in a private capacity and to be paid out of the fund to be returned to the consumers, I be lieved that neither the Public Utilities Commission nor the electric light consumers w,duld object.

We have dis cussed the matter and regret that we are not in a position to offer you pecuniary payment for <he service rendered, to which you are justly entitled. We can merely express Inadequately the apprecia tion of' the Public Utility Commis sion and of the public generally for the efficient service which you have rendered.’ Mr. Syme’s letter continues: ‘*Mr. F. H. Stephens, as general counsel of the Public Utilities Commission, has publicly announced that he would oppose the payment to me of any compensation out of the fund for services rendered by me in my private professional capacity in assisting in securing the same for the consumers, knd ’he Federation of Citizens Associations has assumed a similar attitude. In No Doubt. "When the intervening petition was filed, I had not then, nor have I now, the slightest doubt as to my right, both legal and moral, to the compensation I asked, but I do not want any compensation whatsoever when my right thereto is questioned by any one represent ing the consumers, either directly or Indirectly, nor am I willing to embarrass those wno secured my employment by contesting the mat ter. I have, therefore, directed my counsel to withdraw the petition. “I am indebted to The Washing ton Times, The Washington Herald and the Individual consumers who employed me for affording me the opportunity of continuing in this case and assisting me in a private capacity in bringing to a satisfac tory conclusion the work which I had heretofore been doing as an official duty. I appreciate the sig nal assistance The Times and The Herald rendered in every possible way in preserving the rights of the public in this litigation.” "Very truly yours, "CONRAD SYME.” Posthumous Award Made A posthumous award of two sil ver stars for gallantry in action was made by the War Department today to Major Edward Chynoweth.

The would-be-bridegroom at first seemed to think that he_ was twenty-one, but when told by the young lady deputy that his mother or someone purporting to be his mother,' had telephoned out earlier in the day and asked that a license be denied him as he was but eighteen, he did not argue the matter further and he and the young lady of his choice withdrew and returned to the city by the next electric car.

Le Gordon, promi nent business man, here, last Bun day night while he was preparing to take Moore’s wife on an auto mobile ride, was admitted to bfe.il yesterday in the sum of $5,000.
