English Admiralty Head Wants
Correct Version of Naval
Speech Given Public.

London, March 17.-Lord Lee of
Fareham, first lord of the admiralty,
declared today that his reference to
the United States in his discussion
OF naval matters at meeting of
naval architects here yesterday, had
not been quoted correctly. What he
really said, he asserted, was:
We see the naval committee of
the United States senate laying
down the principle that America
shall maintain navy at least equal
to that of any other power. There is
claim to equality which this coun-
try never has accepted in the past
and never would accept save in con.
nection with the great English
speaking nation which sprang from
our loins and ever holding a great
place in our regard and confidence.
The difference between our
formula and Americas is too slight
to be made the subject Of contro-
versy still less friction and hostil-
ity.
lin a London dispach of We'd
nesday night telling of the frs.
lords address he was quoted as re-
ferring to the claim that America
should maintain a navy equal to
that OF any other power as follows.
That Is claim that we should
never have expected savein connec-
ton with the great English-speak-
ing nation which sprang from our

TRADING ACTIVE
IN CURB STOCKS
Demand in Morning Is BuIlish
But Market Re-
acts.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Trading was
quite active in the curb market to-
day. Following a demand in the
morning which resulted in moder-
stely large advances, there was a
reactionary tendency and prices
gradually worked to lower levels.
The decline after the early rise was
not general, however. and a few
stocks maintained firm tone
throughout the trading.
Trading in the oil section was
moderately active and movements
were narrow and mixed Standard
Oil OF Indiana improved slightly at
the opening and then sold a frac-
tion lower. Simms Petroleum, Mar
acaibo and Mexico Oil sold frsc-
tionally of from the opening prices

trading rising to a new high. but re-

STEINMETz SEES
RAIL SOLUTION
Wizard Says Electricity Will
Solve Americas Mas
ter Problems.

SCHENECTADY, n. Y, Feb. =
Electricity will solve the railway
situation, DR.. Charles P. Steinmetz
said in an interview with the
United Press today.
The wizard of electricity" who
perhaps has accomplished more in
electrical invention than any man
in history. pointed out that cleo
tritication of American railways
would result IN the following:
Cheaper transportation.
Fuel economy.
Greater safety. convenience and
cleanliness.
Movement of more trains over the
same trackage.
Sees Big Economy.
DR.. Steinmetz explained that
economy in fuel and transportation
would be derived from generation
of energy in central power plants,
where more highly perfected ma
chinery, such as turbines, could be
used which could not be applied TO
steam locomotives. Because of the
greater simplicity and safety of op-
Grating electric locomotives, he
said, trains drawn by them could be
run at greater speed and follow
each other more closely.
But to bring about extensive
electrifiCation of our railways we
have got to deal with two other
factors-the apparent lack OF pro-
gressiveness among most railway
officials and the assured lack OF
confidence of the public in the rail-
ways" DR.. Steinmetz said.
The one big thing that stands
in the way of eleCtrification is the
enormous initial financial outlay II
would require. The public, OF
course. must provide this capital
And before they will invest their
money in our railways their conf
denCe must be restored.
Development Rapid.
TT would be foolish to hazard a
prediction as to when our trans,
portation systems will be COM
pletely electrified. The only meas
ure of time we have is the fact that
all electrical development has come
in the past 100 years"
In connection with Dr. Steinmetz's s
statements regarding electrification
o Transportation systems, it was
learned that Representatives of rail-
way interests in Sweden and Bra
zil have consulted the General Elec-
trio Company on the proposition OF
electrifying the lines in those coun-
tries.

AUTO MEN SEEK
ZONE REVISION in
lSTD.C. DISTRICT
Resolutions Prohibit Ser
vice Stations in Rear of
Most Salesrooms.
HANDICAPS TRADE
Dealers to Ask Commission to
Change Plan at Early
Meeting.

Restrictions placed on the kinds
CT business which may be carried on
In the first commercial zone under
the local coming law now are be-
heyed to be somewhat tight, to
use an expression being generally
applied to them in business and mu-
Iicipal government circles. Within
the next few months 1t is expected
that the zoning commission will lis
ten to a number of pleas for wider
construction Of the law and the
regulations
The most important question
which has been put up to the COM
mission seeking a change in the
limits Of business id the first com
merCial area is that which would
permit the automobile salesrooms
TO maintain service stations on. the
same property. Under the ternIs of
the first regulations put out by the
commission and by which the ZOn-
ing now is being regulated. this
cannot be done. Service stations,
an important adjunct to every au-
tomObile salesroOm, must be re-
Nmoved to other parts of the city
which come under the second COM
mercial zone
Commission to Decide.
That this is a serious handicap is
now we'll understood, and it was
pointed out yesterday that the zon-
ing officials are quite in accord with
the request that the limits be raised
in a case Of this kind. A pP5lic
hearing will be granted Oil the
question at o'clock this afternoon
n
ticular matter before the commits
sion is the request Of the Real Es-
tate Brokers' Association of the
District Of Columbia seeking a
change in this regard
The automobile dealers naturally
must have a building in the best
part Of the first commercial zone.
Like other cities Washington auto
mobile dealers are more or less
grouped. In this city, however,
there are two streets which the
dealers have picked out. The two
automobile rows' here are on
Fourteenth street and along Con-
necticUt avenue. There the attrac-
tive saIesrooms are maintained for
the display and sale of the cars.
To perform the service" which
the automobile buying public de-
mands it is a real necessity that the
! dealers keep their service and re-
pair stations under the same roof,
50 that minor matters involved in
the usual automobile guarantee
may be promptly attended to to the
end the good will OF the motorist
may be maintained.
But it is pointed out that the
present zoning restrictions more or
less hamper this important industry
n the district by driving away from
the salesrsoms the necessary service
Stations. 1t was not the purpose Of
the zoning law to hamper any busi-
ness, but nevertheless this is the
effect of the regulations with regard
to the District In this particular
case.
