his hobby-stamps.
During a dozen years Of his life,
Mr.. Kohen has sought far and near,
in this country and Europe, for the
stamps that have passed into the
philatelical somewhere, apparently
nonexistent now, but nevertheless
sought by the more ambitious and
enthusiastic stamp collectors of the
country.
According to Mr.. Kohen, the
average individual does not realize
the value of the stamps that have
for many years assured the trans
mission of mail matter through the
hands of the United States postal
service. For that reason, thousands
and thousands Of dollars worth of
stamps are thrown into the hearth

BORLAND REPEAL
WON'T BE ASKED |
BY COMMISSION
D. c. Heads Not to Re
quest Change at Next
Session.

The repeal of the Borland law
under which one-half the cost OF
street improvements must be born
by owners abutting property and
against which there has been con-
tinual protest by citizens Of the Dis
trict. will not be sought By the Com
missioners when Congress recon-
venes in December.
Although the Commissioners feel
that the law might we'll be modi-
fed in some ways. 1t was learned
yesterday from reliable sources at
the District Building that nothing
would be done in the matter at
present.
Associations Protest.
Last spring the Federation of
Citizens Associations. represented
by a committee of nine. Of which
William NICK. Clayton was chair
man. petitioned the Commissioners
to seek the repeal Of the law. the
federation claimed that street re-
pairs and the like should be paid
for out of general District FUNDS.
Mr.. Clayton's committee asserted
that 1t discouraged the development
OF the city because people just
building homes on the outskirts of
the city could not afford the extra
expenditure Tor the streets. From
time to time various citizens as
sociations have gone on record for
the repeal OF the law. and 1t was
hoped that action would be had in
December.
Won't Teueh Suffrage.
From reports in the District
Building yesterday It was also ap-
parent that the question or Suffrage
for the District will not be touched
upon in the next recommendation of
the Commissioners.
Maj. Daniel Donovan. auditor, is
at present preparing financial tables
for the use OF the Commissioner in
their expected recommendation OF

WHITE MAY RESIGN
In PROPOSED DEAL
Would Give Up Democratic
National Leadership to
Neutral Candidate.

A deal whereby George White
will resign as chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, to
be succeeded by a compromise can
didate," will be attempted at the
meeting of the national committee
In St Louis next Tuesday.
II the proposed deal goes through,
Whites resignation will follow
within a short time without any
row in the party. II the deal is re-
jected, there may be a long-drawn-
out fight within the committee,
though 1t appeared unlikely yester-
day that IL would be permitted to
come to an open rupture In the st.
Louis meeting.
White yesterday repeated his de-
sire to get out, and his determine
ton not to be forced out by the
McAdoo group or any other faction.
He and his friends are somewhat
concerned over the probability that
there will be a small attendance of
the White forces at st. Louis. The
McAdoo group, on the contrary, has
arranged either that it's members
be there in person, or be repre-
scented by proxies.
White left Washington yesterday
for st. Louis. He said that in ad-
dition to presenting his report OF
the Cox campaign and discussing
means of raising the $4,000 deficit
he probably would discuss with the
committee the coming Congressional
campaign.

USE PRESENT
SUPPLY OF BEER

Treasury Department officials de-
clared yesterday that brewers will be
permitted to sell beer which they now
have on hand for medicinal purposes.
Dry advocates have protested against
the disposal OF beer which has accumu-
lated and have insisted that the beer
to be disposed Of under medicinal per-
mits should be only that manufactured
since the beer for medicine regula-
tons were issued. Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes also has had that
opinion and this Is one of the points
of difference between him and Internal
Revenue Commissioner Blair.
Such a ruling as the drys propose
would delay the sale Of medicinal beer
several weeks.

MERE MEN FAIL
AS PEACEMAKERS
Women's City Club Speaker
Wants Better Halves
To Take Hand.

Men have failed to gain results
in peace negotiations and must
permit the entrance of women into
world politics. Miss Ida Clyde
Clark, magazine editorial writer
told the Women's City Club at
their forum luncheon yesterday
noon.
Men have no faith in u.s." she
said. Yet they have peace palaces
everywhere and constantly hold
conferences without results. Men
do not mean what they say. They
send out great pronouncements to
the world, then forget them. 1t is
time for women to take part now.
THE civic branches of the wo-
mems City clubs all over the United
States are to me the white hope
of future clean politics. Every
where that women have stepped
into politics with positive and good
results. the movement has begun
in the City Clubs"
Among the guests at the lunch
con were Mrs. Montgomery Blair,
Miss Ellis Meredith. Miss Olive
Beatty. Judge Mary O'Toole and

irish TO DEMAND
PART OF ULSTER
Claim of Sovereignty Is Not
Mentioned in Sim
Fein Reply.
Especial Cable to The Washington Herald.)

Especial Cable to The Washington Herald.)
LONDON. October 2s.-The gov
ernment is now in possession of
the Irish demands which Premier
Lloyd George insisted on having
after Eamonn de Valera's telegram
to Pope Benedict brought matters
to crisis. 1t is stated that SOW
ereignty is not mentioned, thus by
implication surrendering that de-
mand. but the main demand is for
the revision of listers position.
The Sim Fein asked that either
Ulster come into united Ireland or
to agree to a plebiscite for the
revision of its boundaries. Under
such an arrangement Ulster would
be sure to lose Tyrone and Fer
managh. The governments chief
difficulty in agreeing to a plebis
cite is the fact that there is a
solid block of Protestants in the
center of Tyrone, while in the
east and west the county is
Catholic.
There will be no further meeting
of the conference until Tuesday
and in the meantime hopes for the
final success are improving. Lloyds
is insuring the risk of a general
election before the end of the year
at 40 per cent which means to 4
against general election. AS a
general election only is possible II
the conference breaks down, these
opinions ref1ct the best opinion on
the chances of success.
There Is a revival of the fear
that Mr.. Lloyd George may not be
able to get away next Saturday for
Washington but he is still deter
mined to go II possible and in any
case he will go later. During the
prime minister's absence Arthur ].
Balfour will act as chief of the
British delegates.
