CHA|RMEN TO LEAD
PREPAREDNESS FIGHT
Representatives Padgett and Hay
Will Have Charge of Admin
istration Program.

Discussion as to what member OF
the House would be the leader for the
administration preparedness program
has been answered in the most natural
and accustomed manner by the accept
ance of the fact that Chairman Pad
gett of the naval affairs committee
would lead the fight for the naval ap-
preparation bill. as he has always done
since being chairman. and that Chair
man Hay of the military affairs COM
mittee will occupy the leading posi-
tien on the army bill. in accordance
with the custom for years past. Talk
of Champ Clark being the leader and
Of Representative Kitchin being de
posed" has been responsible for many
extravagant statements.
The army and navy bills are near
ing completion. The army bill hear
ings have closed, and the naval bill is
expected in the House in April, unless
Q snag is struck somewhere. There
was a rumor in the House today that
the army bill would contain a section
state should be used as a military
training school for the education of
officers. The general scheme is well
known to Congress, and several oills,
notably the Mcclellan bill, have been
introduced to cover such a scheme. II
is Inquired that $500 educated young
men with the training of army officers
can thus be graduated every year. and
that IL they are placed on reserve for
seven years, there will be $4,000 reserve
officers in readiness at the end OF the
seven-year period.
The militia liberalization plan was
taken up today by the House commit
tee on military affairs.

WASHINGTON SALESMAN
. IS KILLED IN ATLANTA
Watson Y. Arlington Found in Al
ley Near His Hotel With Head
Cut and Leg Broken.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA. Ga, February 17.-Wat-
son Y. Arlington. aged forty. sales
man for the Andrew B. Graham Com
pany, was found dead in the middle of
the street beside the Hotel Ansley,
where he roomed, at dawn today.
There were two heavy bruises on his
head and his right leg was broken in
two places. The night force of the no.
stef and policeman on beat had heard
nothing. The body was still warm
wherf discovered. Detectives believe
Arlington was struck by an automobile
in some other street and that the driver
started to the hospital with him, that
he died in the car, and the driver,
frightened. drove into the side street
and put the body on the ground. They
do not think the accident could have
occurred at that corner without at
tracing attention. Arrington's pockets
contained only cents, and the hotel
had nothing on deposit for him.
. His room was on the opposite side OF
the, 81 from the scenehof the accident
and he could hardly have fallen from
the window. He had not been in his
room during the night and was fully
dressed when found. He had been
drinking slightly in the past few
weeks, but not. excessively. The body
is at a local undertaking establishment
awaiting orders.

Returns upon a ballot like that would
give some very useful information
that any thoughtful person can see
would be of service to Congress and to
those having in charge, officially, the
welfare of the city.
By all means. let us have the demo-
cratic way of deciding public questions.
especially this question that has to do
SO vitality with every resident of the
District. AS citizens of the United
States we have the same right to vote
upon local questions as any citizen
anywhere. To deny us the use of that
right is arbitrary and an unwarranted
assumption that we are unit to ex-1
ercise it. JAMES HUGH KELLEY

THE OPPOSITION TO
LOCAL REFERENDUM
Works in Prejudice to Prohibition
Interests-Suggestions
as to Voting.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Those who pose as reformers and de-
sire to be classed among the best peo-
pie of the District are supporters OF the
Sheppard bill, to establish prohibition
in the District of Columbia. We respect
them for sincerity and patriotism, but
cannot understand why they fear the
people.
Are not those opposing referendum
vote upon the question of prohibition In
the District of Columbia working to the
prejudice of their own proposition:
Why not invite a vote. but insist that 1t
be fair one; and a full vote. of all
adult men and women, to make real
test of the sentiment of the people?
There is no force in the argument
that the vote would not be final. as
Congress would ignore it; for Congress,
in 1853, ignored the vote then taken, by
local initiative. In 1853 washington
had less than $4,000 population. and
expression from only one in twelve
persons, or one in five adults.
The Anti-Sa1oon League everywhere
is advocating submitting this question
munities and by states. Then. why do
these apostles of prohibition become
panicky because their own methods are
suggested for a test of sentiment in the
District?
1t is error to say that liquor men have
never before asked for vote upon this
issue anywhere. In many states where
prohibition prevails they have repeat
eddy sought to have the question Voted
upon again.
But it is charged the liquor men have
a corruption fund.-" to be used to
"debauch' the voters in the District.
That is a serious charge. You cannot
use money to buy votes unless there
are votes for sale. Do these reform
ers mean that the residents of the Dis
trict cannot be trusted to be allowed
to vote lest they be debauched?
The prohibitionists do themselves no
honor by assuming. or implying, any
such low-grade moral sense OF public
duty and personal honor to the residents
of Washington We have not been al
lowed to vote. but we do not care to be
told that we are not morally mt to
vote.
Scores of cities in a dozen states in
the past decade have voted upon pro-
hibition. Are we not the same people
the same flag? Have the liquor men
corrupted voters in other cities? Have
the laws been appealed to and prosecu-
tions had? II debauchery by cor
ruption fund" should be attempted in
the District of Columbia the guilty
would feel the law!
Machinery necessary to take such a
vote could be easily provided at small
cost by Congress. (Any one who has
ever served upon an election board
could think out a plan in an hour) Such
an expression from the people is al
ways worth more than 1t costs. 1t is
money and time well spent.
Congress need only direct the Com |
missioners to do it. and it wodld be
done-and we'll done.
I would suggest the advisability of
taking vote. not only upon the one
question of prohibition, but also to
ascertain other facts, somewhat after |
this fashion:

Many Autos in State.

That the people of Wisconsin do
not realize the amount of money
invested in the automobile indus
try in the state is the contention of
A. J. Cobban, who has charge of
the registration of automobiles in
the secretary of state s office. There
are more than $4,000 automobile
owners in Wisconsin, he said, and
their investment is estimated at
$50 ,000,0 The upkeep of this
number of cars can safely be esti-
mated at $3.50 a year each, making
a total of $50, 900, 900 and a grand
total of more than 500, 900, 900 in
vested in cars.
Besides this there are 5000
motor cycles registered, " said Mr.,
Cobban, which at a cost of $50
a machine, would give you the sum
of 81 100000. With the cycles in
stock this will easily approximate
81 800. 900 making a grand total of
$101 300, 900 investment in auto
mobiles and motorcycles in the
state. There are some 800 different
makes of cars registered in the state
of Wisconsin, the Ford leading
with SO per cent. "
