Little Fear of Campaign
Planned by Bal
timOre.
WASHINGTON MEN
READY TO COMPETE
Believe Dealers of This City
Have Most Attractive
Stocks.

Washington merchants are watching
with interest, but with little fear, the
attempts of the retail stores of other
cities 70 draw away some Of Washing
tons trade.
The advertising campaign which has
been inaugUrated by Baltimore mer-
chants is believed by all of the leading
dealers in the Capital to be certain of
failure. This feeling is based on their
confidence in the ability Of Washington
stores 20 offer as much that win attract
the shopper as any other city.
They believe that in quality, variety,
and in reasonabIeness of prices, as well
as convenience, the stores of Washing
ton are able to compete with any in the
country. Some of the ideas expressed
in this connection are as follows:
Washington the Best"-Gude.
II have been in d great klany cities
OF this country" William +. GUIDE,
president OF the Chamber Of Commerce
said today, and it is my belief that
there is no better place than Washing
ton anywhere, for getting one hundred
cents worth for a dollar. We have a
city here which is one OF the best bust
ness cities In the world, and the enter
prising business men that we have will
keep It So"

BOOM MEMBERSHIP
OF CHORAL SOCIETY
Washington Singers Start Cam
paign-Three Concerts Plan
ned for Winter.

A determined campaign will be start
ed this week to raise the membership
OF the Choral Society of Washington to
800 active members.
1t was also announced that three con
certs viii be given this season. The
first will be about December 10, the
second in February, and the third early
in April
On the rolls of the organization are
now about 500 members, the largest en-
rofirnsHt in its history. Encouraged by
the success of last year, it is believed
that this number can be augmented to
the 500 mark.
At the first concert the program will
be adapted to the Christmas season,
Chadwick's Noel VIII be given, and
the Festival TIE Deum.''
In February there viii be Brain s
Evening" In April the program will

BAKER IS OPPOSED
TO KIDNAP CHANGE
Believes More Severe Pen
atty Would Be Handicap
to Law.

Believing the ends of justice would
be defeated by the fixing Of so severe
a penalty. D. w. Baker, United States
District Attorney, is opposed TO the
bill introduced by Representative Ro-
denberg at the last session Of Congress,
providing for life Imprisonment or cap
ital punishment for the crime of kid
naping in the District Of Columbia.
In the first place." says MI Baker,
in answer to the request of the Com
missioners for a report upon the meas
ure, the punishment provided in Sec
ton SD of the District code seems to
me adequate, and it would interfere
considerably with the obtaining of a
conviction ia a case of this offense
were it possible for a judge to i'm
prison the defendant in the penitentiary
for life, or were it possible to sentence
the defendant TO death. AS a practical
question, / find it difficult to obtain
a conviction from a jury where an ex-
cessive punishment is provided by the
statute.
'=The section Of the District code re-
lating TO abduction seems to provide
chiefly for the fOrcible carrying out or
a person out of the District, and 1 think
an amendment TO this section which
would provide for the punishment OF
any LllE WHO ulldh Lltll hAuhdb0 Il DGl
son CT child. even though they are con
fined within the District Of Columbia
would be Of service in the administra-
ton of criminal law in the District.
The penalty provided by the code for
the kidnapping of a child under sixteen
years of age is Imprisonment for
not more than twenty years or a
fine Of $1,000, OF both. The penalty
for abductihg any person with the in
tentiOp Of having such person carried
out of the District is Imprisonment for
not more than seven years or a fine OF
81 900 or both.
'As 70 the wording Of the bill" says
the District Attorney. I would suggest
it would probably be wiser in amending
the section To follow more closely me
wording OF the original statute. This
could readily be done by making II an
Offense to forcibly or fraudently carry
off or arrest or imprison any person in
the offense of carrying such person out
Of the District"
