BUSINESS MEN URGED
TO BUILD UP MILITIA
Cooperation Is Asked Of Chambe
of Commerce in Interest Of
National Guard.
| REPRESENTATIVE KAHN SPEAKS

Cooperation of the business men In
promoting the work Of the National
Guard was urged by Representative
Julius Kahn. Of California. chairman Of
the National Defense League. In his talk
before the executive committee OF the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Prac-
tically every member OF the committee
attended, and on motion Of A Leftwfch
Sinclair. unanimously voted to recon-
mend to the board of directors the estao-
lishment Of a committee to be known as
the Committee on National Guard or
Committee on Military Affairs
Chairman William F. GUIDE appointed
Chaplin Brown, A. Leftwich Sinclair,
Capt. James r. Oyster. and John F.
Slavin a committee to draft a resolution
to be submitted to the Chamber OF Com
merce similar to that recently adopted
by the Chamber of Commerce OF New
York for the same purpose.
1.-THE surest way TO maintain peace Is
to be prepared for war. and the duty
of encouraging our National Guard ought
to appeal to every patriotic citizen" said
Mr. Kahn. 1T is our second line OF
defense; 1t is now in close touch with our
regular army and is a genuine force, one
to be relied on in emergency.
TN my judgment when an employe
spends two weeks of the year in serving
with the guard he is performing serv-
ice for his employer no less than II he
were at his desk or machine. for he Is
really helping guard his employers prop
erty and that Of his employers custom
ers as well. And for another thing serv-
ice in such an organization renders a
man a more efficient servant for his en-
pioyer from every standpoint-mental.
moral and physical. Therefore the desire
to enlist should be unhindered: 1t should
not be acquiesced in, but should be stim
ulated" E.
Representative Joseph B. Knowland. of
California, member of the executive COM
mittee of the National Defense League.
said he could not urge Mr.. Kahn's views
too strongly. Other speakers were Col.
William E. Harvey. commanding the sec
ond regiment of the National Guards OF
the District: Col. Charles II. Ourand.
the 6rst regiment.
The league Is making a nationwide
for greater navy. a more
adequate army and a larger and better
National Guard. as means for better pre-
pairing the country in case of war. Mr..
Kahn recently addressed the committee
on public order of the Washington Board
OF Trade with the result that he will
soon present the natter before the ex-
ecutive committee of the board.

ALEXANDRIA C0UNTlANs
issue AN ULTIMATUM
Citizens. at Rosslyn Meeting. Declare
Against Incorporation and
Calamity fiowIers."
PRESENT CONDITIONS LAuDED

Alexandria County, at a monster mass
meeting in the historic courthouse at
Rosslyn. last night gave the world to
understand the following things:
We want no calamity howlers.
we want no one to shame the good old
name OF our county by speaking of i'm
pending danger of pestilence and cpl
cemics, or by saying that our wells are
drying up. :.
we do not want to be incorporated.
We want to keep our present commits
| sion form OF government, under which we
nave prospered and iourished unto this
day.
We have the healthiest. the best gov
erned, the most prosperous. and the most
contented county in the State OF vir-
ginia.
I'VE want things to remain as they
are"
All Of which assertions were made in
enthusiastic speeches by Capt. Crandal
Mackey' George III. Rucker. clerk of
the court; Attorney Frank Lyon. John
G. Dudley. c. T. Jesse. T. c. Turnburte,
and DR.. H. c. Corbett. county health
officer.
And thus did the proposition advanced
OF late that Alexandria County become
incorporated and change its form of gov
ernment. blow up In smoke. like an idle
pipe dream" as some of the speakers
put II.
There was but one dissenting vote,
namely, that of Richard Moncure, a
Rosslyn attorney. Mr.. Moncure drew a
gloomy picture Of the country's future.
He predicted epidemics, plaques. and
pestilences. He denounced the present
water and sewerage system as .-abso-
lutely Inadequate" After he had ended.
Capt. Mackey began a vigorous reply
thus:
II think all that's the matter with
certain calamity howlers, is that they're
bilious. In fact, there are some people
who think they have a religion when
they're bilious
Then Capt. Mackey proceeded to back
up his overture. He said, in part:
Alexandria County is the only county
in Virginia that has a commission form
OF government II has a lower death rate
than any city in Virginia. II has not
single dollar fof bonded Indebtedness,
whereas the city of Alexandria alone.
with its Il3 acres. has one OF $4,000. The
benefits that some bilious people think
can be conferred upon the county by
changing its form of government are
imaginary"
As to water and sewerage improve
ments. the speaker asserted, it was not
necessary to issue bonds. but that the
proper Improvement easily could be pro-
vided for. IL. at the next assessment, a
year hence. the vacant and unimproved
lands not now assessed 10 per cent of
their value were properly assessed. Thus,
all improvements could be made. II was
pointed out. without increasing the tax
alton on any home and without issuing
any bonds

HEARINGS NOT ASKED
ON ANTITRUST BILLS
Unless Business Men Speak Up. the
Measures Will Be Favorably Re-
ported Without Discussion.
SCHEDULED TO BEGIN TODAY

Unless there is a change of front on
the part of business men the administra-
ton antitrust bills may be reported to
the House practically without hearings.
Chairman Adamson. of the Interstate
commerce Committee, said yesterday that
he had no requests for a hearing on either
bill providing for governmental supervi-
sion over the issuance Of railway securi-
ties The same state of affairs obtains in
the Judiciary Committee. which has be-
fore II the trade relations bill and the
bill aimed at interlocking directorates-
There will be no delay on the commits
sion and railways capitalizations bills so
far as the House Interstate Commerce
Committee is concerned. A statement to
this effect was made yesterday by Chair
man Adamson. Hearings on the two
measures before the Adamson committee
are scheduled to begin at 1880 O'Clock
this morning. Chairman Adamson said IL
there were no requests for hearings by
today the committee would proceed TO the
consideration of the bills. and that they
would be reported just as soon as the
committee was able to perfect them to its
own satisfaction.
Just what action the Judiciary Com
mIttee will take IL the business commu-
nifty maintains its present attitude OF
indifference to the hearings remains TO
be determined. Sol far. no one outside
of conference has expressed . desire to
be heard by the Judiciary Committee.
Chairman Clayton and his associates in
dulged the hope last week that men
prominent in agriculture. industry. and
labor would give the Judiciary Commit
tee the benefit of their advice through
public discussion at the hearings ar
ranged.
One explanation offered for the failure
OF business men to apply for time tc
appear before the House Committee on
the antitrust bills is that they are re-
luctant to do so voluntarily, fearing that
they will be placed in the position Of
lobbyists

MEETINGS ARE PLANNED
BY ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS
Girl Wage Farmers Will Combat
Claims that Working Women
Want to Vote.

Arrangements for a series of meetings
OF women and girl wage-earners to be
held at headquarters Of the District AS
ISOLATION Opposed to Woman Suffrage,
1ioe II street. in the near future, are
nearing completion. The principal pur-
pose of these meetings. according to anti
suffrage leaders. is to combat the claim
advanced by the suffragists that women
wage-workers are in favor of their
movement.
Anti-suffragists declare that most
women workers are loyal to their en-
plcyers, who in most cases are men, and
working for their interests realize that
in so doing they help to improve their
own condition materially and in a finan-
cial way. Prominent speakers. including
members of Congress. will address the
meetings which will be followed by a
social half hour

son of a legal snarl. Francis b. James,

upon the railroads to establish the rea-
sonableness Of the increase.
Attorneys Butterworth and Brown. rep
resenting Eastern railroads. declared that
while the practice OF the commission

roads. the commission had given the

scented. A formal statement was made

AMERICAN HORSES FOR WAR

artillery finds it Increasingly difficult
to supply itself with blocky. strong
and wiry horses of fine stamina.
The peace equipment of the United
States army Is 10000 horses: a war
footing would require $4,000 at once,
followed by a complete new supply
every six months. or from 100000 to
10000 a year.
'The increase in the growth of popu-
lation and trade has made demand
for wheel transport that has only
been partly met by the automobile
In normal times the horse has more
than held his own against the machine.
surprising though that statement is in
view of the tremendous output OF
automobiles There seems to be
room and work enough for both horse
and motor.
Many observers have no doubt con-
cluded that carriages are no longer
manufactured in great numbers, but
statistics submitted at the annual con-
vention of the Carriage Builders Ma
tional Association prove that the in
dustry is still a large and profitable
one. In fact. in the last nine years
there does not seem to have been any
actual decrease in the manufacture and
sale of horse-drawn vehicles. The men
who make harness have the same story
to tell.
"It is estimated that the vehicle
product Of 1913 was sold for more
than S60.000,000, and that a minimum
of $35.000.000 is invested in the car
riage factories Of this country. to say
nothing Of the large capital represent
