LONDON REPORTS LIE.
SAYS REPRESENTATIVE
Warns House Against War on Strength
of Inspired News"

Representative J. Hampton Moore
branded as lying and deliberately mis-
leading many Of the reports fronf the
London war office concerning the Euro
pean conflict.
In the course of the debate on the navy
bill the Pennsylvania member warned the
House against putting on war paint
on the strength Of false and inspired re-
ports from the British capital.
London has been crazy with delight,
he said, 'ever since hearing that Pres
ident Wilson appeared here and announc-
ed the severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany. We mad trouble with
London in 1776 and again in 1872 and am
not quite ready TO believe every perni-
cious and lying report from London in or
der to find an excuse for going to war.
1t is easy enough to rush into war on
the say-so Of someone who has an inter-
est In having us go to war;
Again AssaiIs Navy.
During the debate Representative Brit
ten, of Illinois, took occasion to criticise
again the lack OF business administration
In the Navy Department and called at
tention to the extreme shortage of ordi-
nary scamen in the navy as compared
with the shortage under the Taft admin
istration four years ago.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
world has been at complete unrest for
the past three years and special effort
should have been made by the Navy De-
partment toward recruiting ordinary sea-
men," said Mr.. Britten. "the shortage OF
a.5o0 men indicates that but 6S per cent
OF the total authorization has been re.
cruited as against 90 per cent of the total
authorization under the Taft administra.
ton"
He declared that ships have been plac-
ed In commission in the last four years
requiring 9,107 ordinary seamen, whereas
but 5000 additional men have been re.
cruited in that period. The navy is thus
BOA men worse Off than it was four
years ago."

EXEMPTED FROM TAXES
Senate Passes Amendment Bene6dns
MarylanderstD. c. Gains Naught.

With Senators Lee and Smith. of Mary
land. vigorously defending the right Of
their State to put an annual license tax
on District Of Columbia automobiles. the
Senate wrangled for several hours yes
tsrday afternoon over the passage Of an
smendment TO the District bill by sena-
tor smoot, designed to bring about reci-
procity In this matter between the two
territories
While the amendment was passed by
vote of 32 to q, II does not operate to
restrict the right OF Maryland In causing
autonobilists crossing the District line
into her Jurisdiction to pay the annual
or so a year on the average six-cylinder
car -
The amendment provides that nonresi-
dents Of the District Of Columbia, coming
from States which have reciprocal rela-
lions with the. District Of Columbia In
regard to automobile laws, shall not be
obliged to pay the annual license fee Of
from s3 to S for authority to operate a
car within the District While members
Of both the House and Senate will be ex-
empted by the amendment, residents Of
Maryland desiring to operate their ma
chimes within the District must pay a fee

lay was . public annoyance and that in

squeezing the public.
Good Maryland whtyky.
Senator Lee declared that Washington
motorists constantly using the Mary
land roads should pay some portion Of
their upkeep.
Senator Smith stated that-the relations
between Maryland and the District of
Columbia with respect to automobile traf-
flc was different than those between
Maryland and her sister States. Because
OF the small area Of the. District, it Is not
possible for Washington motorists to en-
Joy motoring to any great extent without
patronizing Maryland highways, he de-
cfered He justified the right to charge
altomobilists for this privilege.
Senator McCumber stated that in ad-
dition to the tax the motorists were
obliged to pay tolls on a number Of Mary
land roads
Senator MARITIME expressed amazement
that the discussion was largely concern-
ing traffic to Maryland TT seems to me
they all go to Maryland because it's wet,

roads, and good whisky may account for

WAR REFERENDUM
PROPOSED IN BILL

One Of William Jennings Bryan's pet
ideas Is Incorporated In a resolution in
troduced In the House By Representative
Galloway, OF Texas, designed to have the
voting electorate Of the country decide
when the country will declare war.
The resolution would strip Congress of
the power now vested through the Con-
stttution to declare war and would place
1t with a popular referendum
Leading pacihsts and followers Of the
state OF Nebraska have long advocated
such legislation as a measure designed
to encourage peace
The International Brotherhood Welfare
Association claims to have fostered the
Galloway resolution. A corps Of members
OF the peace committee OF the orgRniza-
ton have arrived in Washington and are
making canvass among Representatives.
The association announced last night
that many Representatives had pledges
their support Of the measure.

BRICKS and BOUQUETS
FOR ASYLUM HOSPITAL
Trade Board Members Denounce !,
and Declare 1t Ideal.

The washington Asylum Hospital IL
either a perfectly ideal place or the worst
hospital in the world.
The committee on charities and correc-
tions of the Board Of Trade held meet
ing yesterday afternoon to discuss the
matter of new municipal hospital ana
site, and the members were about equally
divided in their opinions of conditions at
the present hospital.
John Joy Edison said that the present
hospital is one Of the most horrible In
the world.
'swhy, they even have beds in the
damp basement sometimes" said Mr.
Edison. "I have seen the beds of pa
tients jammed so close together that
the nurses could not step between them
and had to reach the patients head by
leaning over the foot Of the bed.
There Is an old naval captain there
now in that horrible place. And 1t Is
the best place in Washington We have
for him. Just because men and women
are poor, they should not be put into
such a hole as that place"
DR.. James Dudley Morgan was one of
the principal defenders of the hospital.
DR.. MorRan's Defense
There are some things the hospital
needs-a maternity ward, an administra-
ton building, a larger kitchen-but many
things about the hospital are almost
ideal It is one of the neatest in the
city. 1t is kept quite warm. There is
an abundance of good food The hos
pital has the best X-ray apparatus in
the city and the best pathological labor
atory. It has the best French chef in
the city. the doctors say, and fine re-
frigerator. OF course, the buildings are
old. but they are well kept"
Samuel w. Curriden started where DIR.
Morgan left OF.
IT don't see." he said. how a fine man
like DR.. Morgan could make apologies for
such a miserable place as the Municipal
Hospital 1t Is the nest of the greatest
aggregation of misery in the world"
The discussion veered around to the
question of site for the new hospital,
the Senate yesterday afternoon having
appropriated $500, COO
John Joy Edison favored the site at
Fourteenth and Upshur. and said that the
new hospital would not be a detriment
to the community there.
Quarrel Over Site.
S. T. Cameron said Just as lovely
hospital could be built on Reservation 13
as in his home neighborhood at Four
teenth and Upshur, and that the people
up his way did not want the hospital
there, nor did they want to be riding in
street cars with patients going to and
from the hospital He said the property
owners OF that nelghborhood would fight
against the hospital being located there.
Samuel W. Currtden said that il it
hadn't been for stubborn people like Mr..
Cameron who didn't want the hospital
anywhere but on Reservation 13 the Dis
trict would have had the hospital long
ago. -. ---.s-
The committee passed resolution
finally urging Congress to expedite the
a appropriation bill, and did not mention
the question Of site in the resolution.
The House conferees-Page, of North
Carolina; Andrews, of Illinis, and Davis.
Of Minnesota-wfl probably decide the
question Of q site.

Record Is Set
By Chevrolet
Continued from page |

of the race was completed, with Chew
rolet leading in 1851, that the records
set by Resta last year would be wiped
off the boards unless the leaders met
with disaster. The Freuchman showed
his daring and craftiness all the way
through. Having once gained a con-
Portable lead over De Palma, his most
dangerous rival, Chevrolet was content
TO send his Frontenac along at hi.
better than 100 miles an hour. Once
or twice one OF the field would shoot out
from the pack and set terrific pace
for half lap, but Chevrolet held to his
own pace, driving like an automaton
and ready TO outspeed any driver who
showed the disposition to come too
close.
But De Palma seemed TO be the favor
tie with the thousands in the stands,
and after he had cut down the rest Of
the field, following his change of tires,
and once more held second place, a
great burst OF cheers greeted his
achievement.
The last ten miles of the race saw an
even faster pace being set by every one
Of the ten cars left in the struggle, and
the average went up 10 more than liz
miles an hour. But try as ne would,
De Palma could not gain fraction Of
an inch on Chevrolet.
As the Frenchman swept past the
grandstand $4,000 persons stood up and
beloved mighty greeting to the vic
tor. Chevrolet. his grim face now all
smiles, waved his hand delightedly on
the next lap as he slowed down. Harry
Hardness and Bill Welman rushed to
the track and shook the winners hand,
and huge bunch of American Beauties
was presented TO him. Chevrolet, smil-
ing and gesticulating with true Gallo
vivacIty, then posed for the photog-
rsphers and movie men. De Pslma's
reception was only bit less vocifer-
Gus, and the other drivers were not for
gotten.
The Futurity Handicap, at ten miles,
run in four heats and final, was won
by De Palma in his Packard. This car
was equipped with one Of the new Lib
erty motors manufactured by the gov
eminent for aeroplanes, and the motor
proved itself in this race.
In the final heat De Palma was sec
ond as the last lap began, with Chevro-
let in his Frontenac in the lead. As the
cars came rushing around the last turn
Ralph let out tremendous burst of
speed and slowly overhauled the
Frenchman. His time for the last mile
was made at the rate Of 1l6 miles an
hour, and il was Just sufficient to NIP
Chevrolet q hundred yards from the
finish and send the Packard across the
line ten feet in the lead Lewis was
third Hearne fourth and Boyer fifth,
with the rest punched in blanket FIN
