1t appears that Germany will gain
most as result Of the conference.
Hungary had TO yield a part Of its
grain crop and Austria part of its

concessions Germany greed to supply

WILL FIGHT IMPROVEMENT
Property Owners Oppose Widening
Of Wisconsin Avenue.

Chief Justice Covington, in Circuit
Court No. /, has taken up for hearing
the case OF the District OF Columbia
involving the widening of Wisconsin
avenue from Garfield street to the
District line.
The area taken in the proposed wild
ening of 120 feet includes some of the
most valuable property In that sec
ton OF the District on both sides of
the avenue. The hearing is likely to
consume many days of the courts
time, as the property holders are rep
resented by a number of counsel, who
are vigorously contesting every step.
One of the interesting features is
the proposed condemnation of the
haIf-mile of handsome stone wall sur
rounded by an iron fence and inter
spersed with the massive gateways
surrounding the Mclean country
place, known as "Friendship." About
twenty-seven feet Is to be taken off
this property, including a portion &C.
cupied by the wall and fountain.
The District is represented by Cor
poration Counsel Syme and Assistant
Corporation Counsel James Francis
Smith. Among the counsel appearing
for the property owners are ]. ].
Darlington, Wilton J. Lambert, w. {.
Sullivan, Leon Tobriner, the firm of
Tucker, Kenyon e. Mcfarland, H. c..
Matthews, S. McComas Hawken and
c. c. Lancaster.
The jury includes John II. Poole,

WOULD ALTER VETO POWER
Chamber Of Commerce Vote to
Make Bills DivisibIe.

The President OF the United States
should be given the power to veto
separate items in appropriation bills,
without vetoing the entire bill, is the
opinion of the committee on law of
the Washington Board of Trade. This
decision was reached at a meeting
of the committee late yesterday after
noon, and Chairman Ralph R. Bar
nard is today preparing a report on
the subject to submit to the full
Board of Trade for consideration at
the meeting Monday evening.
The Chamber of Commerce OF the
United States has asked all trade
bodies in the United States to pass
upon this question, before launching
a campaign for a constitutional
amendment giving the President this
power.
1t was the opinion OF the majority Of
those present at yesterdays meeting
that such an amendment would pre-
vent the practice of Congress passing
pork" legislation by riders on i'm
portant appropriation bills.

Railroads Leading to Washing
ton, as Well as Connections,
to Effect Low Fares.
PRICES TO BE REASONABLE
More Time viii Be Allowed on
Tickets Than at Any Pre-
vious Similar Event.

Arrangements have been made with
all the big trunk lines OF the country
and majority OF their branches, for
ten-day reduced rate tickets to Wash
ington for the coming Inauguration.
Announcement to this effect was
made at inaugural headquarters this
afternoon by Ben. L. Prince, chairman
of the transportation committee, who
has just returned from New York,
where he took the matter UP with
the various railroad heads there.
This means that the visitors may
remain in Washington for or five
days longer than they ever have been
able to in the past.
VIII BE Reasonable.
The railroad rates to and from
Washington will be reasonable, it was
explained. The reduced rates will go
into effect on March 1, and the tickets
will be good until midnight OF March
10. This will enable the visitors to
spend much time in Washington sight
seeing.
This increased time limit" Colonel
Harper, chairman of the inaugural
committee said today, means more
to the city than the average person
realizes. In the past the visitors to
Washington at Inauguration time
have been limited too much in the
number of days which the railroad
companies have permitted them to
spend here"
Applications for Seats.
Applications for seats on the La
fayette Square stand, the choicest of
the stands along the inaugural pa
rade route, are coming in to head
quarters in large number. These are
being filed in the order received, and
as soon as a hauerint of the stand
is completed, the seats will be checked
OF.
The applicatins will be received
either at inaugural headquarters, or
by e. s Wolfe, in charge of this part
of the work.
MANY of the high school cadets
have been laboring under the impress
sion that the committee has assessed
them a certain sum. This is wrong.
1t is possible that their instructors
have told the cadets that a band must
be provided, and that they must pay
for this, and for that reason assess
ments have been made.
But the inaugural committee has
nothing to do with this. So far as we
are concerned, 1t will cost no organl-
zation a cent to join in the parade"

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get, q small package Of Hamburg
Breast Tea. or as the German folks
call 1t Hamburger Brust Thee" at
any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful
OF the tea. put q cup Of boiling water
upon II, pour through a sieve, and
drink teacup full at any time. It Is
the most effective way to break a cold
and cure grip. as II opens the pores,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking a cold at once.
1t Is inexpensive and entirely vege-
table, therefore harmless.-Advt.

REDUCED RAILROAD
RATE AIDS EXHIBIT
Big Inaugural Government Dis
play Expected to Attract
Additional Spectators.

Announcement by Ben L. Prince,
chairman of the inaugural transports
tion committee, that reduced railroad
rates will be in effect for a ten
day period from March 1 to March 10,
lent added vigor today to the efforts
OF the committee OF the Federation
of Citizens Association in charge OF
the pre-inaugural Government ex-
hibit.
While the ten-day period does not
cover the time proposed for the ex-
hibit, February &c to March 10, it
is sufficient, the committee believes,
to insure the presence in Washing
ton of visitors who will appreciate
the opportunity of seeing ''Uncle Sam
in his workshop"
Argument for Extension.
Mr. Prince said today that one Of
his principal arguments in urging an
extension of the reduced rate period
was the federation's plans for the
exhibit. The railroad men with
whom he conferred. he said, were a
unit in their Endorsement of the
project.
All OF the railroads, it was said,
will arrange their schedules to allow
OF ten days visit In Washington.
State Societies Meet.
A committee of State societies to
discuss plans for the exhibit and per-
manent State exposition will be held
in the board room of the District
Building tomorrow night. Nathan B.
Williams, OF the Arkansas Society,
chairman OF the intersociety commit
tee which is cooperating with the
general committee, will preside.
Citizens of States which are not
represented in Washington by q So
ciety are invited to attend. 1t is Mr..
Williams desire to appoint on the
committee a representative of every
State and Territory in the Union.
