WASHINGTON NOTES
Costly Mistakes

Washington, June 15-(Special cor
respondence) )-Overpayments by the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance to
former service men will probably total
Sl00,000,OOO, said Senator Reed Smoot
of Utah, in recent stotement. he
declared that Colonel X. u. Cholmeley-
Jones, director of the Bureau, had
spoken without full knowledge of the
facts when he said that the Senator
was aware Of the previous amount of
estimated overpayments. The state
ment of Mr.. Cholemley-Jones that
was aware of the S2S,O0O,OO0 overpay-
ment figure is untrue" stated Sena-
tor Smoot. As said before, l knew
as did others, that overpayments were
being made, but from information |
had, previous to seeing c. c. Vargas,
disbursing officer of the Bureau, |
understand the figure was near S12,-
000,0 and that most of this had been
or would be collected. AS "a matter
of fact am now told that overpay-
ments made by the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance amount to about S75,-
100000 in round numbers and may
mount to the 100000 900 mark in
tend to get to the War Risk matter
as soon as is humanity possible. l can
not, however, fix a definite date when
the facts will be presented to the Sen
ate"
Slow Pay
Contractors claims against the War
Department oggregating approximate
ly $90O,000,000 remain unpaid. AL
though the war has been over more
than a year and half this fact was
not made public by the administra-
ton until reports were made to the
effect that the freezing up of War
Department funds was responsible for
the money stringency prevailing at
present. Banks have been forced to
carry these large obligations because
of the delinquency of the War Depart
ment. The estimate Of claims was
made for Newton d. Baker, Secretary
of War, by Assistant Secretary of War
Crowell.

Reserve Board Boosts Sugar Price

Gov. Harding OF the Federal Reserve
Board us much as admits that the
Board is responsible III large measure
for the high price of sugar. He has
issued warning to all Board officials
that they should scrutiniZe carefully
all loans to the sugar trade. II has
been repeatedly charged that specula-
ton in sugar, made possible by financ-
ing through the Reserve Banks, has
sent the price of sugar up, and it is
predicted that as soon as that assist
ance is withdrawn speculation will
largely cease and prices will drop.

Railroad Law vindicates itsell

Through the utilization OF the en-

railroad act the Interstate Commerce
Commission is making rapid strides in
breaking the freight congestion. Every
day the broad vision and sound policy
that dictated the writing of that law
become manifest and as each new
question arises in the readjustment of
railroad matters its broad public bene-
fits will be demonstrated anew.

Anti-Strike Bill Reported

Before Congress adjourned the Sen
ate Committee ON Interstate Commerce
favorably reported the Poindexter bill
designed to prevent the interruption
OF transportation by strikes of rail
road employees. The bill, as reported,
would make felony of any proven in
tent to obstruet or prevent the move
ment of commodities in interstate com
merce by persuading employees to quit
work or by destroying property. A
penalty would be imposed on persons
who. by violence or threats, prevent
employees from continuing work The
anti-strike provisions of the bill would
prohibit two or more persons from
conspiring together to bring about
strike that would tie up interstate
commerce.

Enforce Auto DINNER Law.

The tragic death of well known
Cedar Falls boy in an automobile ac-
cident last night focuses attention
to the fact that the DINNER" law
regulating automobile headlights
should be more rigidly enforced. The
accident that resulted fatally for one
and serious injury to another of the
trio of Cedar Falls boys was du,
according to the driver of the car
to the binding lights from an ap.
preaching automobile. The dazzling
light blinded the Cedar Falls party
it was said, so that they could MOI
see turn in the road; their cal
shot straight ahead and crashed in
to curb and telephone pole.
If the law requiring automobile
headlights to be dimmed when cars
meet is to safeguard the lives Of
autoists, then 1t must be enforced or
the few automobile drivers who re
fuse to voluntarily observe it. A few
penalties imposed will do much to re,
mind the negligent ones that the Law
must be obeyed.-Cedar Falls Rec

valuable addition to the force Of the
Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. and his
friends here wish him much success.
His place with the Croft Hardware

Lansing Abandons Paving Project

The city council of Lansing aban-
doned all paving projects for that
town, at meeting last Friday night
at which time petitions containing
the names of almost hundred prop
erty owners were presented to that
body requesting that the project be
abandoned.
There has been quite a sentiment
developed both for and against the
proposition, but a group of citizens
who would be materially effected by
the measure, petitioned the council
to lay aside the matter on account OF
the heavy advance in the cost of con.
struction, and the council acted &C.
cording to their wishes.
We understand that no further ac-
ton will be taken in the matter OF
paving this year.-Waukon Stand

groceries and butcher shops in two
city blocks serving the surrounding

DEATH ADOLPH ATTLETWEED.
Beach, N. ID. Paper Pays Fine Tri
butte to Former Winneshiek
Boy Who Passed Away in
That Town.

A copy of the Beach Advance, of
Beach, N. d. reaches our desk with
the following fine tribute to Adolph
Attletweed, a former Winnshiek
county boy who passed away there
on March IA:
THE community was shocked on
Monday morning March Is to learn
that the grim reaper had claimed
Adolph X. Attletweed during the
night. Eight days before Mr.. Attic
tweed left the bank complaining of
an attack of the influenza, but
through the week, while he was re-
ported as being very sick man, no
one believed the end to be so near,
and his many friends hoped for his
speedy recovery.
But grim pneumonia had seized
him for its own, and all that skilled
medical attendance could do pre-
vailed not against the attack, and
the sufferer passed quietly away at
about 2:10 Monday morning.
Mr.. Attletweed was born at De-
corah, Iowa, April 23, 1889, and
passed his boyhood and early man
hood there. He came to Beach six
years ago and entered the employ of
the First National bank as assistant
cashier, and became cashier in Feb
ruary, 1919. In this position he
made friend of every patron of the
bank, and his familiar face, genial
smile and courteous manner will be
missed by those as they go to the
cashiers window in the course of
business. y
Last July Mr.. Attletweed was
married at DEBORAH to Miss Grace
Lomen, one of the charming young
women of that place, and who, as a
resident of this city, has also gained
many warm friends, whose sincere
sympathy goes out to her in this
dark hour. Il
In addition to the wife, deceased
leaves his mother, who resides here,
two brothers and two sisters: o. G.,
and George Attletweed, and Mrs.
Oscar Heller of this city, and Mrs.
H. e. Baalson of Cilvana, Washing
ton.
The funeral is being held today
from the home of the deceased, in
terment being in the Lutheran GEM
etery of this city.
| Adolph Attletweed was a most
likable man of high. moral characts.
and of spelendid intellectual powers,
he was of the kind that make good,
substantial citizens. He had a
strong community interest in local
affairs and was numbered among
those who stood for the best and for
the development of the city and
county along business lines that
stand for progress and substantial
growth. In his home life he was a
devoted son and husband and broth
! err, and domestic interests appealed
to him strongly. His untimely TAX
! ing off is a matter of general regret,
for it is not believed he had an en-
envy, while his friends were counted
by all who knew him."
