Mentally irresponsible Through

What is the City of Washington

These individuals are not insane:
that is. they could not be called lu-
natics or idiots. but simply persons
who have the mental DEVELOPMENT
of a child yet are adults iii years.

out what to do with a pretty 1S-

her mentality is concerned.
The girl was arrested a short while
ago and charged with being a va

Girl Not Responsible.

COAL PRICE CUT
NEXT U. S. MOVE
Board Will Consider Reduc-
ton at Conference Today;
Early Action Forecast.

The government price reduction and
stabilization program is now in full
swing.
With lower steel prices already ts-
tablished, the Industrial Board, the
governments price cutting agency, is
this week planning to break down the
prices of coal, coke, cement. building
hardware. lumber and brick.
Because of the close relation of coal
and coke to the steel industry the
board has decided to take up the re-
duction of coal prices today by con-
ferring with representatives OF the
National Coal Associa tion.
Announcement of prices that will
stand for next winters supply will
be a big factor. the board believes.
in giving employment to many miners
now out of work and generally re-
lieve the coal situation.
With all Fuel Administration prices
removed Fuel Administrator GarflNid
will cooperate with the board to de-
ter1nine the new prices.

CARRIES
FIGHT TO PARIS
Requests Senators to Wire
Wilson Directing to
Racial Equality.

Administration Senators yesterday
declined to give any assistance to Sem
ator Phelan. OF California, in his cam
paign to line up the Senate in pro-
test against any recognition by the
Peace Conference of Japan's claims to
racial equality. Senator Phelan has
appealed by wire from San Francisco
to all the Senators. particularly to
those from Western States, to oppose
any settlement of the japanese ques-
tlon by the peace treaty or the league
of nations covenant
|. The only Senator who has thus far
consented to help the California SEN
ator Is Wesley Jones. of Washing
ton. He complied with Senator Phe-
lan's request today by sending a
cablegram to the American peace
delegation urging that the constitu-
tion of the league be so amended as
to prevent the adjustment of any do
mestic questions by the league.
Senator King Offers Help.
Senators PIttman, of Nevada, and
Kendrick. of Wyoming, both strong
supporters of the President, fiatly de-
clined to support Senator Phelan's pro-
test They took the ground that the
sending Of cable messages by them
would be construed as a reflection
upon the Presidents ability to pro-
tect American rights.
Senator King, of Utah. who likewise
received a telegram from Senator Phe-
Ian. replied that he had already trans
mitted TO the Peace Conference certain
amendments to the league constitu-
tion which, in his opinion. will fully
protect the authority of the United
States to deal with the Immigration
naturalization and similar questions
without interference by the league.
