FESS GIVES ULTIMATUM
TO DISTRICT CITIZENS
IF They Don't Like Government
Here They Can Go Elsewhere"
Saws Congressman.

IF the residents of the District don't
like the government here they can
leave and go elsewhere. The District
does not belong to the people here,
but to the people of the United States"
This was the opinion of Representa-
tive Fess, of Ohio, voiced at the meet
ing of the Anthony League last night.
Mr.. Fess was present to voice argu-
ments in favor of the prevailing sys-
TEN of government in the District, and
made this declaration after several
pointed questions were asked him by
John G. Capers and f. w. Oyster.
Mr.. Capers took exception to the state
ment of Mr.. Fess to the effect that Con-
gress had no right to grant suffrage TO
the District. and said:
1--WE had a governor and common
council for years and years. and while
no one wants a return of the Shepherd
regime there is no reason why the right
of suffrage should not be safeguarded.
"An / care for is the city and not the
people, said Mr.. Fess, land as a Repre-
sentative frcm the State of Ohio / feel
a part owner in the city, and an interest
in working for its Identification. The
people came here Voluntarily
John Shibley, director of the American
Bureau of Research, presented arguments
in favor of a representative form of gov
ernment for the District. and said that
the "half-and-half'' system of taxation
had nothing to do with the question of
self-government.
We don't get our just deserts when
Congress busy with its own questions,
let's those of the District go by the
board,' he said.

CONTROL WEATHER
URGES SCIENTIST
Sir Oliver Lodge Would Place Copper
Rod Around the
Earth.
TELLS EFFECTS OF SUMS RAYS

SPECIAL Cable to Ths washington Heszh.
: Lendon. Jan. 22-"we have built milea
of railroads. and why should we not now
spend our capital in controlling the
weather." This was the keynote OF Sir
Oliver Lodges Kelvin lecture before the
Institute of Electrical Engineers this
evening.
According to his theory. the sun dis
charges upon the earth q mixture OF ions
charged with positive and negative eiec-
tricity, but the magnetic poles coax the
positive portion to the polar regions.
where they are wasted in giving pyro-
technic displays such as the aurora
borealis, while the warmer climates get
the benefit only of the negative ions Sir
Oliver therefore advocates the shifting OF
the magnetic poles so as to get greater
share of positive electricity in the upper
atmosphere.
Much could be done by placing COP
per rod around the earth. parallel to
the equator, which would be able to dis
charge millions of amperes and thus cor
rect the present climatic vagaries, said
Sir Oliver. "The latter are due to the
provoking waywardness Of the magnetic
poles. and also to the irresponsible ac-
ton of trees. The action of sunlight upon
trees causes them to discharge into the
atmosphere a negative electricity which
should be retained in the earth"
In lieu of the copper bar. the construe-
tion of which would require many mil
lions of dollars, Sir Oliver appealed TO
the electricians of the world to ascend
the high mountains and there erect
powerful generating stations, which would
discharge large amount of positive cleo
tricity. If this is done, Sir Oliver said.
something is bound to happen

TAFT MAKES PLEA FOR
PROTECTION OF ALIENS
Urges Passage of Law Giving Federal
Courts Jurisdiction in Cases In
volving Injury to Foreigners.

New York, Jan. "a law for the
greater protection of aliens in the United
States was urged by former President
William II. Taft tonight during a lecture
in Aeolian Hall, under the joint auspices
of the New York Peace Society, Colum-
bia University, and the Brooklyn 1nsti-
tute. The title of his discourse was
shall the Federal Government Protect
Aliens in Their Treaty Rights" Mr..
Taft was applauded loudly by the large
audience, when in speaking of the pro-
posed transfer from the State to the Fed
eral courts of all cases involving injury
TO foreigners, he said:
May We not ask from this administra-
tion in the course of which there has
been exhibited under the admirable lead
ership Of the President, such wonderful
party discipline in the passage of legis-
lation, that action be taken on this inn
portant matter?
IF it be said that the party in power
is naturally opposed to giving the Fed
eral government more functions and to
concentration of power in Washington,
we may well urge, in view of our de-
plorable record in keeping our treaty
promises, that when the party in power
has swallowed camels in the passage of
a law giving the largest government
control of banking and currency known
in our history. and in projecting a law
vesting the widest Federal power in re-
spect TO corporations doing interstate
business, and another looking to Federal
regulation of Presidential primaries, the
party leaders should not strain at the
gnat of Federal control and Federal per-
formance of Federal promises, even IL
it may transfer to the Jurisdiction of
Federal courts a comparatively few
cases which are now in theory triable
in State courts, but, in fact, are never
tried there?"
