Joined the forces that are protecting
foreign property.
An outbreak is expected II Gen.
Zamors rebels are allowed to enter this
city tomorrow. and foreigners have been
warned to keep on the streets or to
Veek the protection of their legations.
The consular corps have warned the
leaders Of the Zamor forces not to al
low their men to enter the capital be-
cause of threats to rillage the proper
ties Of adherents OF Gen. Davilmar
Theodore.
Cape Haitien. Haiti, Feb. 6.-Property
on the outskirts of Cape Haitien Is
being pillaged by the rebels under Gen.
Davilmar Theodore. A plantation owned
by the family of Gen. Oreste Zamor. a
revolutionary leader opposing Gen. The

An urgent request that another war
ship be sent here from Port au Prince
was made today by the consular corps.
Foreign property in this city Is being
protected by marines from the Nash
vile.
The Haitian tangle daily Is growing
more complex. and reports to the State
and Navy Departments yesterday indi-
Gated a strong probability Of the setting
up of two rival revolutionary govern
ments in different parts Of the republic.
It is expected that eventually the sup
port of the United States will be given
to the Zamor brothers who control the
situation in the south. and are marching
on the capital, as against Senator Theo-
dore, who has established himself as
provisional president of Cape Haitien.

DISTRICT BILL HEARINGS SOON.
Return of senator GallinEer Insures
Early Meetings.

The return of Senator Gallinger. of New
Hampshire. to Washington means an
early meeting of the subcommittee of
the Senate Committee on Appropriations
to continue the hearing on the District
bill. II is thought the meeting will be
called as soon as Senator Smith. of Mary
land. chairman Of the subcommittee. ar
rives here.
Senator Dillingham;. 4 member of the
subcommittee, said yesterday that un-
doubtedly the half-and-half principle of
appropriating for the District must be-
retained. and that the eighth section OF
the House bill was in violation of this
principle. The comment strengthens the
report that that section of the District
bill, as passed by the House. providing
that the excess revenues OF the District
over the expenditures for the current
year should be turned into the United
States Treasury, will be stricken from the
bill.
I'VE will have to work out some just
plan for handling the excess revenues, {"
said Senator Dillingham;.

KENYON "RED Light"
BILL IS Law TONIGHT
Measure to Eliminate Segregated Dis
trict Becomes Effective on
Stroke of Twelve.
PRESIDENT MAY NOT SIGN IT

Appeals for $500 needed by the citi-
zens' central committee in its rescue
work among women of the ''underworld''
are meeting with fair success. More con-
tributions are expected today.
The Kenyon bill, eliminating the red
light district becomes a law at Il
O'Clock tonight. 1t is believed the Presi-
dent will not sign it, letting ii become
law through the expiration of the ten
day limit fixed by the Constitution. It Is
said he desires to give social workers all
the time possible in working for the up
lift of the women of the district"
A report was current yesterday that
Attorney General McReynolds had ad-
vised the President to veto the bill be-
cause it was unconstitutional, but the
head of the Department of Justice re-
fused to. discuss the matter. The re-
ticence of the Attorney General and his
refusal to answer any questions regard
ing the bill are taken by some to indicate
that there may be some truth In the re-
port.
Regardless of whether the bill is passed
or vetoed the social workers will con-
tinue in their campaign to help the fall
en- women. 1t is believed that should the
President declare the bill unconstitutional
another measure would be introduced in
the Senate looking to the same end as
the Kenyon bill.
Should such an emergency arise II Is
believed, however. 1t would have a much
harder time getting through Congress.
The women's INSTRUMENTATION
Union met at the Church of the Epiphany
yesterday and several interesting talks
were given. on the situation. Mrs. s. M.
Wescott. chairman of the committee rep
resenting the union in the rescue work,
made a report on what has been done
for the women. Mrs. Fred T. Du Bois
spoke on the minimum wage scale propo-
sition for the working girls of Washing
