DEADLOCK ON D. c.
BILL MAY END SOON
John Walter Smith Hopes to
See Washington Made
Nations ParIor.

Congress having failed to take re-
cess until August IL. as was planned
1t is expected that further efforts will
be made soon to break the deadlock
which has arisen between the Senate
and House over the District approprf-
alton bill. Although Congress put
through q resolution continuing for
July and August the old appropria-
tions for the District, they are
not adequate and no provision is made
for the increases in pay to the hun
dreds of employees receiving low sal
aries which are carried in the Dis
trict bill now pending.
By an almost unanimous vote the
Senate determined no later than last
week to stand by the half-an-half
plan of appropriating for the District.
Under the leadership of Senator John
Walter Smith of Maryland, who heads
the Senate conferees on the District,
it is expected there will be no yield
ing to the House on this important
matter. The vote In the House to OPP
pose the Senate amendment restoring
the half-and-half plan was adopted
by comparatively small majority
Ne4C move IN house.
But the House has voted to adhere
to its position on the Senate amend
ments in dispute, and the next move
must be made in that body. under the
parliamentary rules. 1t is expected
that some motion will be made to re-
scind the vote by which the House
agreed to adhere to it's position on the
half-and-half
Senator John Walter Smith is con-
WINGED that the Senate is in the right
in its fight for the continuance of
the half-and-half plan.
The federal government now owns
and controls more than one-haf the
property in the capital" said Senator
Smith today, "anu it is only fair that
1t should pay one-half the expenses
or the proper municipal government
ana TO make proper improvements
Wants D. C. to Be Nations Parlor
There are even more important
reasons for the continuance of the
half-and-half plan. The people of
this country want Washington to be
the most beautiful city in the world.
They want it to be the 'parlor' of the
nation-a place which will be the
pride of citizens. They want 1t to
rank with and ahead of the capitals
of other great nations of the world.
ITO make Washington our show
city will cost money. and 1 for one
do not believe the taxpayers Of this
country want the people who live
here to pay all the bills. 1t takes a
lot of money to keep Washington's
streets in good condition. as the
streets of a capital city should be
Eept up. The taxpayers of the Dis
trict are willing to pay one-half of
this expense, and I believe the peo-
pie of the country are willing to pay
the other half in order that their
National Capital may be developed
and maintained as the most beautiful
capital in the world.
Il do not believe that Washington
should be developed as a great in
dustrial center. II it is, it will mar

Hearing Begins in Habeas Corpus
Action in Former Soldiers Case
of Alleged Fraud.

Hearing was commenced today be-
fore Justice Gould of the District Su-

ceeding to procure the release from
custody of Frank J. Godsol, former
French soldier, charged with defraud-
ing the republic of France of $780,
900 in connection with the purchase
of automobile trucks for war use.
United States Attorney Laskey
withdrew a portion of his motion to
strike out two paragraphs of the peti-
tion of Godsol, and asked the court
merely to eliminate the paragraph re-
lating to the proceeding for extradi-
ton before United States Commits
sioner Hit, which was discontinued
at the time ,extradition was asked of
Justice William Hitx of the District
Supreme Court Justice Gould grant
ed the motion.
Mr.. Laskey then filed the return of
Louis F. Zinkhan, superintendent of
the writ Of habeas corpus. The jailer
answered that Godsol was lawfully in
his custody under a commitment sign
ed by Justice HitZ. Counsel for God
sol demurred to the suff1ctency of the
return, and Attorney John B. Stanch-
field of New York began the opening
argument for Godsol.

ment of Mr.. Stanchfield was James

Will Aid czecho-slovak Army.

Inc SITUATION OF tne CZechO-SlOVaE
legfons. not only in Siberia, but in the
neighborhood of Samara, in central
Russia. was one of the principal sub
jects under discussion at the White
House conference in connection with
the whole Russian problem 1t is
understood that the conclusion was
reached that aid should be extended
to thase soldiers and that this could
be done without any violation of the
neutrality of MISUNDERSTANDING that
Russia has dropped out of the entente
alliance through the forced Brest-
Iitovsk treaty.
The Czecho-Slovaks are not Rus
sian subjects or citizens, and desire
10 continue fighting the central DOW
ers under the entente alliance, and it
Is held that they are entirely within
their international right when they
demand free and unobstructed passage
out of Russia to join their allies hy
the only route that is open to them,
the Siberian railroad and Vladiyostok
Consequently, the entente allies deny
the right of the bo1sheviki to inter-
1ere with the progress of these SOL
diers.
There is no transportation available
at Vladlvostok at all adequate to the
shipment to France by the long In
dian ocean and Mediterranean route
OF the thousands of Czecho-Sloyaks
who are gathered at that port and
Sotteieu alonS the line or the Si-
berian railroad. Consequently, if ex-
ternal aid is rendered to them it must
take the form of Strengthening the
Czecho- -Slovaks by military supplies.
Should 1t happen that native Rus
slams and Siberians choose to rally
around these Czecho-Slovak forces
with the purpose of asserting their
own right to self-government the re-.
suit might be the creation of a Si
berian republic from which the ideals
Of true democracy might penetrate

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, January storms which
hampered railway traffic gave little
flrmness today to the corn market. De-
mand, however, was slow, as traders
inclined to the view that delay to an
increased crop movement from the
country would not be long delayed.
Besides, a refusal of the board of trade
directors to disturb the present maxi
mum price limit on future deliveries
tended to discourage bulls. Opening
prices, which ranged from unchanged
figures to u higher, with January 1.27k
and May 1.25ss to 1853. were followed
by something of a reaction and then
fresh up-turn.
Heavy selling by a leading firm
caused only transient weakness in oats.
The market paralleled the action of
corn.
Provisions advanced in sympathy
with the hog market. Storm condi-
tions temporarily curtailed the hog
supply.
Reports that railroads were furnish
ing empty cars freely to rural shippers
prevented any decided strength from
becoming manifest. The corn market
closed steady at the same as Saturdays
finish to a off, with January 1.27A
and May 1859.
