COLD WAVE, 10 ABOVE,
DUE HERE TOMORROW
AZ Degrees Registered Today, Fol-
lowing Severe Wind of
Last Night.

Ten degrees above zero is expected
to be registered by thermometers here
by tomorrow morning, when the cold
wave. which has the country in its grip
arrives in the National Capital in ear
nest.
The cold wave signal for Washing
Ton was put out by the weather bureau
today, with a prediction of much colder
weather, northwest wind and fair for
tomorrow Those who thought this
morning was cold seemed mistaken, for
the official thermometer registered only
forty-two degrees above zero this morn
ing.
Thirteen degrees below zero was
registered here in December. 1850, so
the weather will have to get a great
deal colder than the expected 10 de-
grees above" to break any records
The city thought it was getting the
real cold wave last night and early
this morning, when the rain and wind
storm sounded like the real thing
Branches of trees were blown down
in all parts of the city,. and three
trees uprooted were reported to the
notice today. Police of the harbor
precinct were kept busy looking for
boats that broke their mornings.
High winds were general all along
the Atlantic coast today, and storm
warnings were displayed this morning
from Louis iana to Maine.

In France clearly shows that the ey0

ment, and the statement that con
tractors are now offering good paw

that the French government wishes to

PORT DARWIN, Australia. December
10.-Capt. Ross Smith. the Australian
aviator, arrived here today from Eng
land. thus winning prize of 10000

on November Is he reached Cairo and

islands of Oceanica. He arrived at
Bima, on Sunbawa Island, near Java,
Monday night.
Port Darwin is close to the northern
most tip of Australia, being near the
town of Palmerson.
International Contest Develops.
An interesting phase of the latter
part of the flight was. the interna-
tional contest developed between the
British Capt. Smith and Lieut.. Etienne
Poulet, the French military aviator.
Poulet left Paris for flight to Aus
tralia October IA. nearly a month be-
fore Capt. Smith started from London.

PUTS OFF HEARING
ON HALF-ANDaHA[F
House Committee Waits Be-
cause of Temporary Illness
of Mr.. MaCfarIand.

The hearing before the House Dis
trict committee on the Mapes bill to
abolish the half-and-half principle of
financing the National Capital was
today postponed until Friday morn
taken on account of the temporary
illness of Henry B. F. Macfarland,
the principal spokesman for the COM
mittee representing the citizens OF
the District.
Mr. Macfarland, with Col. A. S. Wor-
thington and Theodore w. Noyes, APP
peared as a committee to present the
argument for the citizens of the Dis
trict in opposition to the abolition of
the half-and-half system at a joint
congressional hearing in 1915 and had
been retained in similar capacity
while the present bill is under con-
sideration.
Col. Worthington made brief
statement before the committee today,
giving notice of Mr. Macfarland's tenn
porary indisposition and asking for
the postponement. 1t is fully expected
that Mr.. Macfarland will be able to ap-
pear Friday. d. J. Callahan and Evan H.
Tucker. president of the Northea st
Citizens Association. also were pres
ent as representatives of the District
citizenship.
Mr.. Mapes for Quick Action.
Representative Fritz Lanhan of
Texas suggested that if the meeting
was postponed until after the Christ
mas holidays it might be possible to
get a fuller attendance. Chairman
Mapes stated that it was desirable to
get as quick action as possible upon
this measure. He said that the appro-
priations committee, which will soon
draft the District appropriation bill
for the fiscal year 1921, is anxious to
have some definite action taken by
Congress in regard to the half-and-
half method of paying the bills of the
National Capital.
Several members of the committee
asked regarding the length of the
hearing. In reply to question from
Chairman Mapes. Col. Worthington
said that the citizens committee asks
for eight hours in which to present
it's case.
II. NJ. SeibOld Asks to BE Heard.
3. NJ. Seibold. 1913 NJ street north
west. who described himself as "a
student of law, although not law
yer" told the committee he wished to
be heard in opposition to the position
of the citizens committee Mr.. Sci
bold contended that the federal gov
eminent has no right to impose any
taxes whatever upon the people of
the District of Columbia under the
original cession, an argument which
he presented in 1915 when this sub
ject was investigated by a commits
sion of Congress. Representative Ben
son of Maryland raised the point that
Mr. Schools statement had no bear
ing upon the particular question be-
fore the committee. Chairman Mapes
explained that in the present bill an
attempt was made to hold strictly to
the question of how to apportion the
taxes and not to confuse the issue by
other questions. Mr.. Seibold was ad-
vised either to get some member of
congress to introduce IA bill embody-
ing his opinion, or else to appear
when the question of franchise for
the District is under consideration in
the committee.

JOHN B. LARNER QUITS
BOARD OF EDUCATION

John B. Larner. president of the
Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany. today sent to Chief Justice Nc
Coy of the District Supreme Court
a letter asking to be relieved of serv-
ice on the board of education.
Pressure of business affairs and
inability to devote to the schools the
time he believed they deserved are
said to be Mr. Larner's reasons for
resigning.
Mr.. Larner has been member of
the school board since 1914 Because
of the many important problems now
before the board, it is probable that
the judges of the District Supreme
Court will lose no time in selecting
a man to succeed Mr.. Larner.
Mr.. Larner's resignation came I'M
expectedly and persons in close touch
with the school system had no idea
this afternoon who his successor prob
bly, would be.

Would Change Working Hours.
Charles J. Columbus, secretary of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, last night sent letter
to President Wilson suggesting that
in the interests of conservation OF
fuel the President issue an executive
order changing the hours of work in
all government departments in the
District of Columbia so that empoyles
will begin the days work at 8
o'clock am. and quit at $3.50 o'clock
pm. No reply had been received
from the White House up to the time
of the meeting today, but hope was
expressed that the suggestion of Sec
rotary Columbus would be carried out.
Instructions were issued to the po-
lice department today to enforce the
provisions of Commissioner Brown
lows order to the letter.

ness and to inaugurate the new or

Columbus replied that no effective CO.

At meeting of the manufacturers

general meeting it was explained that
manufacturing concerns were permit
ted to operate only three days a
week and that use of unnecessary
lights, heat or power was forbidden.
Plants to Work Hnlf-Time.
The manufacturers at their meeting
voted TO comply strictly with the or
ders Of Fuel Administrator Gerfield
and Commissioner Brownlow and TO
operate their plants on half time only.
In some cases this will mean opera
ton for the full day three days a
week with a shut down the remain
ing three days. Others viii work half
a day each day
Urges Change in Hours
In his letter TO President Wilson
urging that hours of employment in
the government departments be
changed temporarily by executive or
der Secretary Columbus said:
The fuel administrator. DIR. Harry
A Garfield. through an order by the
railroad administration. brings point
cdly to the attention of the country
the necessity for conservation in fuel
Permit me to offer the suggestion
that one of the most effective means
TO that end in the National Capital
will he a change III the hours OF the
government employees to from to
$50 o'clock, until the coal shortage
situation is relieved
This would make it possible fol-
Washington residents TO make a
greater use of daylight than is now
possible.
such a change could be brought
about by an executive order on behalf
Of the merchants of Washing ton.
