HOW TO BE A GOOD FELLOW Th Jeyf of Christmas Doa’t Enter Every Home. Here's a Chance to Make Yourself Happy and Help Others to Have a Merry Christmas •For it’s always fair weather, When good fellows get together!*' There is the Christmas Carol which Washington is today asked to keep upon its lips and to keep jDn its mind. It is the official call to action of the Good Fellows, an organiza tion sponsored by The Washington Times to every individual who Wishes to make Christmas a reality for the hundreds who might not otherwise feel the spirit of Yule- Wde. The Good Fellow movement Which the poor of this city and surrounding territory annually look forward to for perhaps a ton of coal, a bundle of toys, the ■pare garments which are hang ing in your closet or a basket of ■pWVender starts today, and will go forward right up to and in cluding Chirstmas eve. The Good Fellow editor obtained ■everal memberships this morn ing by a few minutes’ telephone conversation. The pictures of these Good Fellows and a few besides appear on this page. They are only a nucleus to this vast orgnaization which by tomorrow at this time will have increased a hundred fold. Commissioner For It Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph declared it was a privilege to be counted among the Good Fellows again this year and he added that be could not recommend too strong ly the excellent results which the annual Good Fellow work achieves. J. Harry Cunningham.-president •f the Board of Trade, gave not only his personal indorsement, but that of the organization which he represents to The Washington Times’ appeal to Washington Good Fellows. Robert V. Fleming, president of the Riggs National Bank; George O. Walson, president of the Liberty National Bank, and Robert N. Harper, president ot the District National Bank, and of the Wash ington Auditorium, were the financ ial sponsors of the 1925 Good Fel low activity, as were M. A. Leese, acting president of the Chamber of Commerce. and Isaac Gans, past ♦resident of the same organization. AU Set To Help They didn’t even wait for the application blanks which are print ed for the first time in today’s Times, but said over the telephone that they knew all about the fine work the Good Fellows had done in i previous years and by all means desired to again give their support ■o the 1925 campaign. I What do you do to become a GOOD FELLOW? Ah, now you’re talking! You fin out the accompanying Good Fellow Blank and mail it or bring It to Room 301. The Wash ington Times, 1317-21 H street northwest, and Within three days the Good Fel low editor will send you the name of the deserving family or fam ilies (number and size to be speci- fled by you) whom you will care for at Christmas time. That, in a nutshell, Is all there is to the Good Fellow campaign. No money or material is collected by this newspaper—it merely intro duces the donor to the donee, and vouches for the fact that the needy person or persons are deserving and are not being cared for by any other welfare effort. Aid Organized Work Washington, like any other city ©f whole-hearted people, has its or ganized charities which are doing 100 per cent work wherever they touch. However, there are many places they cannot get to because they do not have the medium of a daily newspaper through which to work, j The Good Fellows of Washington are asked to volunteer in the manner described above and through the printed application blank, to close up the gap between the sus tained efforts of the city’s charita ble institutions which operate the year around, and the remote cases ,of deserving humanity which are particularly emphasized at this time of year. You may have little or nothing to give, but The Washington Times knows a place where that little or nothing will be appreciated. It may only be a battered doll Which you have. All right! Let the Good Fellow editor know about it. and he’ll find somebody to dress that doll and one of the benefactors may deliver it at Christ mas to some future mother whose life wculd seem complete if she just had a "poupee” to caress on Christ mas morning. Clubs Can Help V Tou may belong to a card club ©r a knitting clinic which could throw a tea” and amass sufficient funds to buy a brand-new doll who knows? Or, perhaps, if that tea were liberally patronized, there would be enough proceeds to buy warm things for one or two youngsters or their mother.

Howze, president of the court. Howze’s wari a'j was called forth as result of the protest of Congressman Frank R. Reid (R.) of Illinois, Mitchell counsel, against remarks by‘Major General William S.

Hunger Started Episode The strapping six-footer told his story between gasps of pain. He was sitting In his lonely home at 333 E street southeast, last night, he said, when he became hungry and went to a nearby store. "I got some pig’s-feet to bring home to cook,” said McDuffie. “Now, that may sound funny to you, Jsut I had a craving for them. On my way home, I met these three men.” They were in uniform, according to McDuffie, and said they had been robbed. McDuffie himself is *n ex-service man, and could not refuse to help them. “They brought me to a house it was somewhere on South Capitol street, or Half street —somewhere around there —and I went In with them,” he continued. “I’m sorry to say that I accepted a drink they gave me.

Gair, Washington con tractor, who was believed to have committed suicide last July when his coat was found on a railroad trestle over the Susquehanna river, near Havre de Grace, was arrested today in the Municipal building by headquarters detectives O’Brien and Nalley on a charge of having passed a worthless check. When Gair’s coat was found on the trestle It contained five fare well notes each stating that he was committing suicide. Three of them were addressed to pretty Miss Jean Snyder, 3066 M street north west, his fiancee. Friends and rela tives of Gair were at a loss to ex plain the contractor’s action In tak ing his life. Following the finding of ths coat and the suicide notes, Havre de Grace authorities dragged the river for his body several days. About a week later Miss Snyder’s mother in formed the police that her daugh ter had received two letters from Gair, one of them postmarked New York city and the other bearing a Buffalo, N. Y., postmark. According to the police, Gair passed a worthless check on July 3, for $131.80 on the Universal Auto Com pany, 1529 M street northwest. The warrant was sworn out by Wade H.

Dozens of tons of coal were in stalled In gaping bins last Christ mas through Good Fellow activity, but of course that was last year.

The Washington Times frankly does not see how its readers can pass by these 1»25 opportunities to relieve suffering and distress in the homes of the city’s less fortunate.

MORNINGWAKE International News Service HARRISBURG. Pa„ Dec, 2.—The refusal of the anthracite operators to accept the peace plan of Gov ernor Gifford Pinchot in the wage controversy practically- assures the calling of an extra session of the Pennsylvania legislature. This was the opinion on capitol hill today following the ringing dec laration of the State’s chief execu tive that “the operators had turned down industrial peace and declared war.” Just what sort of legislation, if any, the Keystqne solons could write Into the statute books, to bring about a resumption of negotiations between the operators and miners is problematical. It is understood that a movement has been started to repeal the anthracite coal sax. This would mean a possible reduc tion of from 50 cent® to $1 x»n each ton of coal shipped to the market. Finances of the State Indicate abolishment of the tkx would be pos sible without seriously affecting any of the departments benefltted from the revenue from that source. John L.

Each of the three commissions holding their sessions In different rooms in the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church are slowly crystaMzlng sentiments to be pre sented bv the findings (committees in a general meeting that will close the conference tomorrow. A discussion bn the relation of the church and state in connection with war was brought up in the meeting of t|ie first group today. Doctor Ralph W. fiockman of New York presided. S. R. Yarnall of the Society of Friends of Philadelphia, denounced war as a betrayal of public trust, in discussing the coercing of the church hy the State in war times. Yarnall was answered directly by .John L. Hill of Nashville. Tenn., who declared that “our country had waged righteous wars.” He said further that all the blessings that we of this country’ pow are receiving are the direct outcome of wars against oppression. It is believed the findings of this group will contain a direct state ment on the question, expressed bv Doctor Frederick Lynch of New York: “Shall the churches align them selves with the Government in future wars or shall they declare themselves a super-international boHv in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ?” Under the leadership of Bishop H. St. George Tucker of the Theological Seminary in Alexandria, thesecond group today gave unanimous sup port to the following expression: "That we record our profound satisfaction and devout gratitude for the signing of the Locarno treaties by the central European powers.” The second jrroup also will refer to its findings committee a protest against military expansion in the United States and a plea to urga all phurches to work for security through disarmament. A technical discussion of methods In putting before the churches the plans evolveia by the conference, in the group under, Doctor Win chester, of New York, completes the work now under way in conference.

While many of the al legations made by Colonel William Mitchell,. in his flaming attack on the nation’s air defenses, the report makes numerous recommendations for improvement of aircraft in mili tary, naval and commercial use. The Mat-row Board turned down General Mitchell’s demand for a separate air service, distinct from the. War and .Navy Departments. Mapy New Jobs The chief recommendation pro posed with regard to departmental handling of aviation was for the creation of three new assistant secretaries in the Departments of War, Navy and Commerce, whose duties will be confined almost ex clusively to matters of aircraft policy. Bitter protests from flying offi cers that they get no promotions were met by the recommendation that Congress create two additional brigadier .generalships in aviation, there now* being only one. Several changes also were proposed in the present promotion policy, the ef fect of which will be to advance flying officers more rapidly than under the present system.

EX-GOVERNOR McCRAY AND DR. COOK WON’T GET XMAS PARDONS FOES KEEP BOTH IN JAIL Others With Good Records, However, Are Likely to Find Santa Claus in Sargent By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH Federal prison wardens within the next few weeks, will submit to Attorney General Sargent lists of prisoners eligible for Christ mas pardons, v it was learned at the Department of Justice today. Sargent announced that he would follow the precedent set ly* attorney generals for many years in recommending to the President the release of inmates of Federal institutions deserving of pardon or parole. ‘Doc” Cook to Stay The names will be referred to Pardon Attorney James Finch for careful examination of prisoners’ records. He will make a report on each individual case to Sargent who in turn will submit the list of eligibles to the President. Two of the Government’s most famous prisoners, former Governor Warren T. McCray, of Indiana, who is serving a sentence at Atlanta prison, and Doctor Frederick Cook, once hailed as a hero following his I supposed discovery of the North Pole, are not expected to be on the eligible list. Although strong pressure is being brought to bear to place McCray and Cook on the Christmas lists, it was understood that there is a counter movement to keep these prisoners in Federal custody until the expiration of their sentences. George Ade, and other famous Hoosiers, are included among the backers of a pardon or parole for the former Indiana governor. Working For McCray McCray’s friends conferred with the ’attorney general some time ago, but it was understood that so far no recommendations on the case have been submitted to the Presi dent. The Department of Justice is still studying this action, it was learned. Under a new "merit system” which has been established in the Federal prisons. Inmates who have performed noteworthy service in connection with institution discip line or whose prison records have been unusually clean are being given an opportunity to "earn their pardon," officials said. A number of instances where prisoners saved the lives of others, prevented outbreaks of inmates or (made it possible for officials to nip ’Wholesale jail delivery plots, or whose families are destitute, have been reported to the Department of Justice. FEDERATION AT ARLINGTON ELECTS Civic Body Takes Up Matters Anent Development of Lee Highway ARLINGTON COUNTY, Dec. 2. At a largely attended meeting of the Arlington County Civic Federa tion held last night, Robert E. Plymale was unanimously re-elected president. Other officers elected were J. Cloyd Byars, first vice president; James R. Williams, second v»ce president, James W. Head, secre tary, and A. J. Porter, treasurer. Following the election, William S. Hoge, central chairman of the com mittee on obtaining necessary rights of way for boulevards for the Lee Highway Association, said that following the passage of the bill calling for the construction of the memorial bridge it was his opinion that a boulevard leading from the Virginia approach to the bridge to the mountains should be built. He said that more than half of the right of way to Fairfax is now assured for the Lee boulevard. Mr. Hoge stated that the busi ness men of Washington are now formulating a movement to aid the Lee Highway Association in its work, and that, the citizens of Arlington county should now come forward and help in the work, as v the construction of the Lee High way through Arlington county has greatly aided in its development.

HUTCHINSON The threat of Vice President Charles G. Dawes to* take the stump against Senators of all political faiths if they fight his proposal for a revision of Senatorial rules met with a warm reception today from returning Senators. Republicans, In surgents and Democrats dropped their little private rows to join in “bawling out” the .Vice President. But Administration Senators are planning to let him have a vote on his plan. The only portion of the Vice President’s campaign, which met with favor, was his plea for non partisan action —and the Senators were non-partisan in denouncing Dawes, his plan and his proposed invasion of Senatorial primaries. The Democratic temper toward the Vice President was evinced by Senator T. H. Caraway (Dem.) of Arkansas, who said: "Senators certainly will be im pressed with the proposal of a presiding officer, who did not know enough to organize the Senate properly and who couldn’t keep awake long enough to vote." Senators of all faiths and shades of political opinion were united in opposing Dawes and his plan /o change the Senate’s rules. They took particular exception to his Chicago announcement in which the Vice President said: "I am out of politics and that is why I can do as I please and go where I please and say what I please. That is what I am going to do and it won’t make any dif ference to me what party the Sen ator belongs to.” The attitude of Administration leaders to the Vice President’s chal lenge was Indicated by Senatoi Wadsworth (Rep.) of New York. He said: "Mr. Dawes is welcome to come to New York at any time. “If I am nominated, he will find himself opposing the Republican candidate for Senator in New York. I welcome him.’’ The Western reaction was ex pressed by Senator McNary (Rep.) of Oregon, who said: "I hate to see the Vice President leave the Republican party. But I think he will be back long be fore the rules of the Senate are materially changed.” Welcomed By Insurgent The Insurgent bloc "welcomed” Dawes to their ranks. "The Vice President is more than welcome in the Insurgent camp,’’ said Senator Norris (Rep.) of Nebraska.

The particular thing he proposes has greater danger than the thing he wants to eliminate, so my only regret is that he espouses insur gency by campaigning for enact ment of a ridiculous change in Senatorial rules/’ All along the Democratic front there was a similar reaction. “I wish the Vice President would come down to my State,” said .Sen ator Pat Harrison (D.) of Mississippi. "He would get a warm welcome from my colleague and myself be cause we both oppose his plan.” Senator Caraway, noted for his sarcasm, went further. "What answer can be given to a man, whose public utterances traveled all the way from the front pages of newspapers to the classified ad sections in a single summer?” Caraway remarked. "Who can follow the reasoning of a man who says that a few men can hold up all legislation and be cause of that, the Senate passes too many bills. "Not to be personal, but the Vice President quotes as his Republican authority, Mr. Mondell, who sought a seat in the Senate and failed to carry every county in his State. “I merely mention the fact, too, that Mr. Dawes once ran for the Senate and nobody heard of his candidacy until after he was de- "It does seem that the Senate rules might be left to those able to get elected to the Senate and not to those, whom the people refuse to place in that body.” Administration leaders meanwhile, out of courtesy to the Vice Presi dent, are planning to let him get a vote during the coming session upon his proposed changes.

Miss King sobbed out accusation after accusation against Rich, who, she charges, attacked her during her walk with him. For six week’s afterwards, she said, she was con fined to a hospital with a brokeri jaw, two broken ribs, a broken nose, and numerous severe bruises. She admitted that she had taken a drink or two, and had smoked and had broken campus rules by stay ing out after 8 o’clock. When she got out of the auto mobile to accompany Rich on a walk he started to make advances to her, she testified, she repulsed him, and a struggle developed. She was beaten and lost consciousness she says. NEHXMGE PROMISED BY UP. Capitol Heights’ Mayor Wages Fight to Victory With Phone Company PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY, Md., Dec. 2. —Mayor George Finger of Capitol Heights announced today that the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company had advised him it had decided to establish a telephone exchange at Capitol Heights to serve, in addition to Cap itol Heights. Suitland, Turedo, Halls Station and intermediate points. A vigorous fight for improved ser vice has been waged by Mayor Fin ger for some tiipe, climaxing re cently when the mayor ordered his telephone removed. At present Capitol Heights and the other sections which, it is said, will be served, by the proposed Cap itol Heights exchange, are served through Hyattsville station. Mayor Finger states the telephone company officials informed him the new exchange would be established by next July. William Wells, former town bailiff of Capitol Heights, was injured yes terday on Central avenue when he slipped off the running board of an automobile which was being towed and the rear wheel of the car, it is said, ran over his head. He was taken unconscious, it is said, to Cas ualty Hospital, Washington, by Town Bailiff Thomas Shaw. Upon reaching the hospital he regained consciousness and insisted on being taken home. Fite, believed to have been of incendiary origin yesterday after noon destroyed a garage of T. A. Thomas at Lawrence near Balti more avenue, Capitol Heights. A number of pigeons perished in the flames- The Capitol Heights volun teer fire department responded as did firemen from the District of Columbia and Seat Pleasant, but were unable to do much owing to insufficient hose.

Gen. Mcßae Is Ordered to 9th Corps Area By VIVIAN LEE TILLMAN Major Genera] James H. Mcßae, now in command of the Philippine Department of the army, has been ordered trans ferred to the States and will command the ninth corps area upon the retirement of Major General Charles T. Menoher, who retires from activle service March 20, 1926. This announcement by the- Wa»i Department removes all speculation over the assignment of Major Gen eral Dennis Nolan, now deputy chief of staff, as commanding gen eral of the Ninth Corps Area. It is believed that General Nolan will exchange assignments with the new deputy chief'of staff. In other words, if Major General Charles Summerall, now commanding gen eral of the Second Corps Area, is selected as the next deputy chief of staff, General Nolan will be come the commanding general of the Second Corps Area. It is logical to suppose that General Summerall will be the deputy chief of staff, Inasmuch as he is the senior major general of the army and is understood to be in line for the next chief of staff. However, if Major General H. E. Ely, presi dent of the Army War College, should be selected, General Nolan may become president of the Army War College. He will be either a corps area commander or a division commander. No official statement concerning the new assignment of General Nolan has been made by the War Department. It is not believed that he will take the place vacated by General Mcßae as commanding general of the Philippine deport ment. Captain Victor A. Kimberly, U. S. N., who has been on duty with the U. S. S. Huron, will soon arrive in Washington to assume his new. duties with the bureau of ordnance of the Navy Department, He will report to Rear Admiral C. C. Bloch for duty. The resignation of Second Lieuten ant Charles F. Replinger, of the marine corps, attached to marine barracks here in Washington, has been accepted for the “good of the service” according to marine head quarters. This officer graduated from the Naval Academy in June, 1924, and became a second lieuten ant in the marine corps upon gradu ation from Annapolis. It is announced by the Navy De partment that Captain Alfred W. Johnson, U. S. N., will be relieved of further duties as assistant chief of the bureau of aeronautics of the Navy Department, January 1, when Commander John Rodgers will suc ceed him as assistant chief of the bureau. It is said that Captain Johnson will command the U. S. S RaHegh. relieving Captain William C. Watts, who will be assigned to duty with the Navy Department. A branch of the Army Ordnance Association has been formed In Washington with a membership of about seventy-five members. Col onel James A. "Jim” Drain, former national commander of the Ameri can Legion, who served in the ord nance department of the national army with the temporary rank of colonel was elected president of the Washington branch. x I Major Charles G. Mettler, was elected vice president and Captain L. A. Codd of the ordnance reserve, was elected as secretary. Brigadier General C. D. Rhodes, in command of the Second cavalry brigade with station at Ftfrt Bliss, Texas, has been ordered to com mand the Nineteenth brigade, with station in Panama. He will sail for his new station on February 12.1 i It has been learned from the; headquarters of the marine corps that satisfactory progress Is being made in the reorganization of the marine corps reserve in accordance with the law which became effec tive July 1, of this year.
