TRY TO RENEW OLD
TREATY WITH RUSSIA
State Department and Cars
Ambassador Enter Upon
Preliminary Steps.

Negotiations have been opened be-
tween this country and Russia
through the State Department and the
Russian ambassador for a renewal of
the treaty which lapsed between the
two countries January 1912. following
the attack by Congressman, now Gov
ernor Sulzer, on the Russian govern
ment's practice of refusing to Rus
sianborn American Jews the prfvi-
leges of free travel in Russia despite
the fact that they carried passports
While it was denied today by Secre-
tary Bryan that President Wilson had
turned down the proposition Of re-
newal from the Russian government,
on the ground that that country still
refused to permit American Jews un-
embarrassed transport through its
dominions. the Secretary admitted
however that he had been advised
soon after the present Administration
began by the Russian ambassador
that his country was prepared to re-
open negotiations for a renewal Of the
treaty.
Russians treatment of the Russian
born Jewish citizens Of this country
has long been a burning question with
Jewish leaders of America. The late
Senator Rayner attacked the treaty
relations between this country and
Russia bitterly because of the failure
to protect American Jews.

GUATEMALA REPORT
CAUSES STIR HERE
State Department Officials
Hear Cabrera Recognized
Huerta Government.

Officials OF the State Department are
somewhat perturbed over q report that
President Estrada Cabrera, of Guate-
mala, refusing to be bound longer by
the example Of the United States, has
formally recognised the Huerta gov
eminent in Mexico. Guatemala Is a
close neighbor Of Mexico. but in times
past II has been the custom Of the
little Central American republic to fol-
low. IN diplomatic affairs, the lead
Of the United States. BY recognizing
the Huerta regime in Mexico. Guate-
mala now not only ignores the atti-
tude Of the United States. but follows
in the footsteps of Great Britain.
Recently President Cabrera sent An
tonic Batres Jauregui to London on a
special mission involving. in part, a
British loan, but the question Of the
debt has long been disposed of. and the
State Department IL said to be at loss
to understand the reason which causes
Jauregui to prolong his visit
In the meantime the War, as well as
the State Department, is watching with
interest the Developments In the latest
Mexican revolution. Reports from the
border describe the rebels as having
routed the Huerta stronghold at Dur

reports are denied. Should the situa-

WANTEO.. HOME BY
new EXCISE BOARD
Also, Wanted Congress to
"Kick In" With Appropria.
tions for Their Salaries.

Unless provision is made soon the
new Excise Board will be without a
home.
Where to find quarters for the new
Excise Board is a question that is
puzzling the Commissioners. No pro-
vision for offices is made in the law
which goes into effect one week from
tomorrow. Endeavor has been made to
find room In the District Building. None
of the heads of the departments are
willing to give up any Of the space.
Unless action is taken by Congress
within the next few days. the members
will find themselves also without sal
aries, the excise bill. containing no ap-
preparation for carrying the law into
effect. 1t is expected, however, that the
appropriations will be made this week.
Washington's clubs are preparing to
comply strictly with the new law Sum
day.. No distinction IL made, the serv-
ing of drinks being strictly prohibited
between the hours Of and a. m, and
on Sunday.
While this will entail a financial loss
on many organizations. and, may mean
the abolition of several of the smaller
ones. the clubs have decided practically
as a unit to observe the law.

LOAN FIRM OFFERS
FUNDS TO TEACHERS
Capital Company Willing to
Tide Instructors Over Lean
Months of Year.

A loan company has evaded efforts
Of the Board of Education to keep lists
Of school teachers OF Washington out
Of the hands of such business institu-
tions. The loan company. which calls
itself THE Teachers Loan Company"
today sent circulars to practically
every teacher in the District, both In
public and private schools. urging them
to borrow money.
In order to prevent teachers being
bombarded by loan companies and 9TH
ers with axes to grind, no list OF school
teachers employed by the District has
ever been given out At the Board Of
Education. and none will be unless the
board should revoke an iron-clad rule
on the subject. This revocation Is
stated to be unlikely.
The circular to the teachers today Is
couched In the terms which money
lenders of the kind generally employ
Privacy will be guaranteed" The
loans will be made lat reasonable
rates" which are not stated. Atten-
tion 10 called to the fact that July and

bunk SAYS MANN
OF WILSON MESSAGE
Minority Leaders Statement on
Currency Speech Calls 1t
"SophomoricaI."

A forerunner of the partisan wrang-
ling which will attend the career of the
ADMINISTRATOR currency bill In the
House is a statement issued by Con-
gresham James r. Mann, the Repub-
lican floor leader, who says of the
Presidents currency message of yes
terday:
about new freedom there was nothing
cal"
The minority leaders statement is a
caustic document and prods the Presi-
dent the Democratic party's currency
ideas and the Administration bill The
President, asserts Mr.. Mann, was
vague in the message he read to the
Congress. He came before Congress
like a schoolmaster before fourth-grade
school children and told the members
to be good, but did not dare to analyze
what goodness in this case consists
Of
Mr.. Mann said the Republicans were
willing to aid in a non-partisan reform
of the banking and currency laws, but
that the President evidently intended to
make partisan issue of the matter.
The Administration bill he assailed as
.in the main pieces stolen from the
Aldrich Monetary Commission report,
with a few radical provisions taken
from the Bryan platform mixed in.
Had Not Met
The President, says Mr.. Mann, erred
In saying the committees in charge Of
currency reform had consulted about
the bill. The committees, Mr.. Mann
said, had not even met.
Mr.. Mann agrees that the Wilson
message was "a fine example of classic
Hnglish," but adds that it failed to
convey the Presidents ideas about
banking and currency legislation, and
that Congress has received no enlight-
eminent or suggestion of ideas from he
President"
The minority leader announces in
advance strong Republican opposition
to one feature of the bill. and this
feature is also one to which some
Democrats and business interests are
objectinR. Mr.. Mann says:
THE one thing we will not stand
for is the partisan political control
Of banks or the issuance of currency.
The Bryan administration, through
its Chinese and south American pol
Icy, liz doing everything it can to
prevent American business going
abroad. and IL the same sort of ad-
ministration had control of banking
be absolutely ruinous to every inter
est and would make chaos. ] shall
strongly oppose any such ideas
Named By President.
This portion of the statement Is in
reference to that section of the bill
creating the Federal reserve board,
which will control currency issues. As
changed at the eleventh hour-doubtless
upon the instance of the Secretary of
State-the board is to be named by
the President, and the bankers have no
representation thereon.
The cry has gone up that this will be
VIII become a political plaything.
The Administration currency bill prob
ably will be introduced IN the Sem
ate and House late this week and
meanwhile In view of the Presidents s
message and the statement issued by
Secretary Bryan. efforts are being
made to bring recaicitrant Democrats
into line.

Movement is for a moment suddenly

first this broad quality of truth in the

The Zorn exhibition is at the Hahlo

and sure craftsman. For those to
whom etching, as etching, addresses
itself in a peculiar and perhaps re-
stricted way, through line expressive
Of the very genius of a particular in

rebel against tradition. He draws as
with the pen rather than as with the
needle, a distinction which seems arbi-
trary 10 some collectors, but is, we be-

hand, his drawing is, Of its kind, mas

TO make a profound impression, as the

Mr.. Altman would appear not merely
TO have equalled but TO have surpassed
all other American collectors of the
present day.
Rembrandt dominated his gallery
the thirteen examples of that master
which he brought together including
certain works of the noblest renown.
But Mr.. Altmans great virtue as
connoisseur consisted in his breadth OF
taste, his enthusiasm for all the
schools. Though his name was so often
associated with some sensational pur-
chase made in the auction room abroad

price paid-he was never known to 5e

he spent were unavoidable, because he
