NO CLUE IS FOUND
tsy MORNING JOURNAL sprc,al LEASED wtHr,

Oakland, Calf, March 19.--Unde-
termined whether the crime was
planned with view to a single mur-
der or to inaugurate a reign of terror
in the exclusive Lakeside colony here,
the police of the San Francisco bay
cities were conducting an intensive
search today for the persons respon-
sible for the death of Mrs. George d.
Greenwood, society matron, through a
bomb explosion at her home on Lake
Merritt here last night. Zest was
added to the man-hunt through the
announcement that Governor stephens
would offer reward of 81 900 and
the city council had offered $3.50.
Tonight the men of the district add
ed their own vigilance to that of the
police against the chance that the
erimanals again might return. Letters
received by neighbors of the Green
woods which contained threats similar
to the sinister threat received by the
dead woman's husband year ago,
were resurrected and examined by the
police. Those bearing the signature
&C. C. of c." as did the Greenwood
missive, were given particular atten-
ton.
Police opinion held that the bomb
which took Mrs. Greenwood life was
similar in construction and contents
to the one exploded under Governor
Stephens mansion, December II,
1917. Harry East Miller. explosives
expert, announced through the police
department that the bomb undoubted-
ly contained a substance stronger than
dynamite.

Dear Dr. Boyd:
II am in receipt of yours of the 3r1
inst. and note your remarks relative
to the proposed constitution for n
league of nations, also your request
that I express my opinion as to the
following questions:
"1--Do you believe in the general
principle of the league of nations?
"2-Do you feel that the advant-
ages which the United States will de-
rive will justify us in making some
sacrifices of our national sovereignty
and giving up exclusive control of
South American affairs?
ITO the first question, / would un-
hesitatingly answer in the affairma-
tive. as in my opinion. some such
league is necessary not only for the
preservation of the peace Of the

give lawmakers an intimate idea of
situation which was declared de
plorable" at the meeting last night
President Myles F. Connors will su-
pervise the campaign.
The campaign is to be a really
active one. President Connors de-
clared this morning. I'VE know ex-
actly what is needed and. / think. if
frst-hand knowledge of conditions
is presented by former students. who
know every nook and corner of the
building. the District committees will
readily see the need for an enlarge
ment of facilities"
The association also will endeavor
to impress upon Congress the need
of skilled mechanics in the machine
shop of the school 1t was stated
that the machinery of the shop is rap
idly depreciating in usefulness on
account of the absence of workers
who might care for it.

WANT NEW PLANT
FOR D. c. REFUSE
Authorities Consider Disposal
Method to Follow Close of
Present Contract.

The question of whether the refuse
disposal plant is to remain on Bla-
densburg road northeast against the
protests of surrounding residents or
be moved to a more outlying neigh
borhood probably will be finally de-
cided by Congress. This is the opin
ion now held at the District building.
The District has been operating
the trash plant since November 4,
when the contractor notified the Com
miSSioners he could not continue to
90 the work unless the contract fee
was increased to meet the cost of
operation.
Congress has authorized the city to
operate municipal trash service. the
same as il now handles garbage and
ash collecting. whenever the Commits
sioners deem it wise. At present the
Commissioners are merely finishing
out the contractors time with the
money that was appropriated for him.
Likely to Ask Appropriation.
1T is not expected that the Com
missioners will give the collection of
trash out on contract again. but prob
ably will go to Congress for an appro-
priation to buy the necessary equipment
10 enter the trash business perma-
hently when this contract appropria-
lion has expired.
Shht tiiiie question: Will DC put
TO the House and Senate of whether the
District should be authorized to purchase
the existing plant or build new plant
OF It's own at some other less objection
able point.
Inc Northeast Washington and
trinidad citizens associations as wei!
rs individuals i'll the northeast have
fought against leaving the trash plant
ON BladenSburg road, claiming that it
has injured property values in the vicin-
lty.
New Plant a Possibility.
II was suggested by one District Off
cal yesterday that Congress might be
asked to provide for the erection of a
new plant near the District workhouse
at Occoquan, Va
While the District could build a trash
plant there without the cost of buying
site, TINS official pointed out that the
expense of transporting the refuse to
Occoquan would add greatly to the cost
OF operating plant there.
The cost of hauling also is advanced
as an argument against building a trash
plant far outside the limits of the city.

NEW CENSUS FORCE
WILL EXCEED 5000
Either to Be Brought Here
or Transferred From Other
Departments.

Between 1000 and $500 new en-
ployes of the United States census
bureau will either be brought to
WASHINGTON or transferred from other
government departments to assume
thte great task of compiling and tab
ulating the 1920 decennial census. the
census bureau has announced.
About half these employees will be
brought from points outside the Dis
trict of Columbia. officials estimated.
They will be located at the old air.

street and Missouri avenue. which
has been entirely taken over by the
bureau of the census. or this force
less than 400 will be engaged in

apart from the general force OF tab
ulators and will send in their re-
ports just as if they were located
in Maine or in California
Will Reach "Penk" Next Fall.
The peak of the load" of tabuia
ton and enumeration will be reached
early next fall. it was said today.
At that time the entire population
lists of the United States and its pos
sessions will be in the hands of the
tabulators and. it is expected. Will
be out of the way by the end of 1920.
Population and facts pertaining
thereto will. of course. receive prece-
dence over manufactures, forest prod
ucts and other statistics obtained by
the census. as census officials con-
slider that population figures should
be made public as early as possible.
The largest number of workers at
the central office will be employed
at the time of the peak load" Up
to August the complete number OF
workers for the census will probably
be not more than 5000. but during
that month it is expected that about
1000 new persons will be employed,
bringing the figure up to or above
the 900 mark.
After the end of 1920 only those
rel sons necessary will be held to
complete the detailed work Of COM
piiing industrial and business sta
tisticS.
The census job should not be con-
sidered merely temporary. however.

all cases the job will last for a year
