SERIES OF WAR PICTURES
AT THE FRENCH EMBASSY
Views Witnessed by Audience of
Prominent Residents, Including
Diplomats and q. S. officials.

A gathering of sixty or more prom
inent residents of the National Capital,
including diplomats and government
officials, met last night at the French
embassy by invitation to witness the
first presentation in this country of the
series of war motion pictures taken by
the order of the French government
for preservation in the national archives
Of France.
From 10 until 1890 o'clock they
watched scenes depicting infantry
charges, divisions on the march, artil-
lery fire. exploding gas bombs and Ger
man prisoners being conveyed to the
rear. In one picture alone no fewer
than 10000 men were shown-more
men than are in the entire United
States Army.
OF especially interest were the views
of the battle front in the Champagne
district, which has been compared in
appearance to the site of ruined ma =
chine shop fifteen miles long by three
in breadth. The films were explained
by E. Alexander Powell, an American
war correspondent, through whom the
French government loaned the series.
Later they are to be exhibited through
out the United States and Canada, the
next display being scheduled for New
York for the benefit of the Lafayette
fund, the date for which has not been
selected.

Declines to Interfere.
Gov William Spry, with-the unani-
nous concurrence Of the state board
of pardons, telegraphed President Will
son yesterday afternoon that he would
not interfere further in the case of
Hillstrom. The governors telegram
was in answer to one received from
the President requesting a reconsider
alton Of the case. Gov. Spry said in his
telegram to President Wilson, declining
to interfere further in the Hillstrom
case, that he was satisfied the Presi-
dents request was based on a r1iscon
ception of the facts or that there was
some reason of an international nature
that the President had not disclosed;
that a further postponement at this
time would be an unwarranted interfer-
ence with the course of justice. and
that, mindful of the obligations of his
path of office, he could not and would

RULING IS EXPECTED D
ON 2-CENT TRANSFERS
Capital Traction Patrons Want Ac.
ceptance at 18th Street and Penn.
sylvania Avenue Ordered.

Adoption Of regulations requiring ac-
ceptance at any time by conductors Of
the Washington Railway and Electric
sued by the Capital Traction Company
at Pennsylvania avenue and 14th street
will be considered by the public util-
tiles commission.
Patrons Of the latter company who
wish to transfer at this point to the
line Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company along 14th street
south of Pennsylvania avenue may do
so by purchasing 2-cent transfer slip.
But, according to complaints made to
the commission, conductors of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company are instructed not to accept
the transfers except on the date of
issue within the time specified
This alleged failure to draw dis
tinction between the two-cent and free
transfers is declared to be source of
ever recurring disputes between pas
sengers and conductors. and the COM
mission is asked to regulate the mat
ter.
In a letter to the commission to-
day on the subject G. F. C. Smillie,
an employe Of the bureau of engraving
and printing. urges that the two-cent
transfers are prima facie eviderce of
compensation having been made for the
service to be rendered, and that the
transfers should be valid until used.
The action Of the railway officials,''
states Mr.. Smillie. Gin making no dis
ttnction between these purchased fights
and the privilege exterded by courtesy
is arbitrary and unjust and should be
made Illegal by your action, II indeed,
it is not already SO in fact"

MR.. CLARK TOTALK
WITH MR., WILSON
Speaker of the House and the
President May Confer Over
Increased Defenses.

Speaker Clark is expected to call on
President Wilson at o'clock this after
noon to talk over matters relating to the
schedule of administrative measures. The
Speaker left Boston on a late train last
night, after delivering lecture to the
City Club there, and arrived here this
afternoon.
There has been much speculation in
this city as to the outcome of the con-
ference between the President and the
Speaker. 1t was learned today from
sources SO close to the Speaker that
their authenticity cannot be doubted
that the Speaker does not know what
the conference will cover.
Favors Increased Defenses.
Following the speech delivered by the
President before the Manhattan Club
in New York, in which the President
came out strongly for increased ma
tional defenses. Speaker Clark tele-
graphed him congratulating the Presi-
dent upon his speech, it was recalled
here today. Dispatches received in
Washington from cities in which
Speaker Clark has been lecturing indicate
also that the Speaker is on the side Of
the administration in it's effort to in
crease the defenses of the country.
+ The-Speaker has considerable infiu-
ence with his party in the House, de-
spite some attempts to read him out of
the party when he dropped the gavel
and protested against the free tolls
proposition. Mr.. Clark is essentially a
party man, it was mentioned today by
congressman, and the general impress
sion prevails that following the White
House conference this afternoon the
administration will be able to check
off the Speaker as being on the heavy
armament side.

SAYS LOWER RATE JUSTIFIED.
Representative Griest Discusses
Drop" Letter Postage.

Congress will be justified in enact
ing legislation reducing the hrst-class
postage rate on local delivery. or
drop" letters, from . to / cent per
ounce or fraction thereof. because the
Post Office Department today makes a
profit of several hundred per cent on
the handling of local letters" Repre-
sentative W. W. Griest OF Pennsyl-
vania, member OF the postal committee
in the House, made the statement to-
day.
1T is impossible to justify the gov
ernment in collecting an excessive
postage rate on local letters con-
tinued Mr.. Griest. "A decrease Of the
drop letter rate from cents to 1 cent
per ounce or fraction thereof would
hardly affect more than per cent Of
the postal revenues, as the reduced
rate would result in great increase
in mail matter and the normal annual
increase in the postal revenues would
Offset a reduction in receipts"
Mr.. Griest has a bill pending in the
House to reduce the rate on drop"
letters.

SENATOR THOMAS DRAWS
WOMAN SUFFRAGE FIRE
Refusal to Call Meeting of Senate
Committee to Receive ENJOYS
Denounced.

Senator Thomas OF Colorado, chair
man OF the Senate committee on woman
suffrage, has refused to call meeting
Of this body to receive the envoys of
the woman voters Of California. who
are on their way across the continent
to Washington by motor car. and this
refusal has called forth comment from
suffrage leaders here on what they
characterize his "unfriendly attitude"
Senator Thomas gives as his reason
the fact that the Congressional Union,
under the auspices of which the ENJOYS
are making the trip. opposed him at the
last election" said Miss Anne Martin,
president OF the Nevada Woman's Civic
League. But that is no reason for re-
fusing hearing before Senate COM
mittee."
Representative Saunders Attitude.
Representative Edward Saunders of
Virginia yesterday told a delegation of
suffragists that. in view of the many
suffrage workers who had declared
themselves in favor of increased pre-
paredness, to which he is opposed, he
was afraid to give the suffrage move
ment his support. The delegation ex-
planned to him, however, that sunrag-
lists were disagreed on the question OF
national defense, but did stand for the
right to express their varying opinions
thereon through the ballot.

Hill. Among the other delegates were

MORE OPEN STREET CARS
Number to Equal Closed Cars With
drawn From Service Next
Summer.

Complaints regarding standing Of pas
sensers between seats on street cars are
expected to be considerably less in num-
ber next year as a result Of action by the
public utilities commission, directing that
hereafter open and closed cars shall be
considered on the same basiS for operat-
ing schedules.
During the summer just closed the ratio
was eight closed cars to five open cars,
but under the new ruling every closed
car that is taken out OF service during
the summer must be replaced by an open
car.
The hfty-hfty arrangement will mean
the placing Of more open cars In service
during hot weather. and 1t Is believed that
there will be much less cause for COM
plants regarding providing.

Mr.. Polk was told that the Interna :
tional Harvester Company and the Ply
mouth Cordage Company, which have
protested against the activities of the
Yucatan combine, controlled 80 per cent
of the sisal output, fixed their own buy
ing prices and in some instances paid
as low as cents a pound for sisal

manufactured into twine at cost of
IA cents a pound, was sold to Amer

The object Of the combine. the Mex
leans declared, was to enable the Yu-
catan farmers to make living and at
the same time eliminate the middle
man and enable the American farmer
to buy his twine at the lower prices
that would follow competition.
