WholIey's Statement

WnOucyB Dt1Ucu1onS.
Mr.. Watsons denial is absolutely
opposed to facts. My information was
hrst hand. Mr.. Watson In his private
office at the offices of the United
States Housing Corporation informed
me that he and Mr.. Reed, together
with several friends. had taken con-
troll Of the promotion In question, and
were the officers of the corporation
that was planning to pay the 40 per
cent commission, and had arranged
with a sales organization TO handle II
In addition one OF the friends men
toned informed me that he was a di'
rector of the corporation and con
firmed Mr.. Watson's other statements
AT this time this organization ap'
preached a prominent business man nj
the head OF a local automobile com
pany, explained their connections, ard
offered this gentleman $4,000 worth OF
free stock for the use OF his name.
This information was given me by
the vice president of local bank, a
man of unquestioned veracity, and
the information was confirmed by my
later investigation.
"Wild denials or criticisms will not
change the facts that the officials OF
the United States Housing Corporation
were at that time connected with the
promotion.
There Is an unquestioned need for
legislation, to prevent the foisting OF
securities Of doubtful value and about
which the public has no means OF
knowing the details, upon the citizens
of the District of Columbia and many.
many incidents constantly confirm
this opinion"

"AIIey Life in Washington
Should Be Wiped Out"

The hearings on vice conditions in
Washington will be continued by the
Senate District Committee next Thurs
day afternoon, Senator Ball announced
today. t
Among the witnesses yesterday was
Chief Justice Walter /. Mccoy, OF the
District Supreme Court, who declared
that ALLEY life in Washington should
be wiped out" and that vice thrived
under conditions that are now preva-
lent in various parts of the city.
within two or three blocks of the
Capitol people are housed in places
unfit for pigs" said Chief Justice
Mccoy.
Mrs. Nina C. Van Wrinkle, head Of
the woman's bureau of the Police De-
partment, said that the present law
dealing with the repression Of vice
should be broadened. and that police
women should be given larger powers
in protecting the morals OF young
girls. She alleged that hackers were
responsible for many of the dangers
now surrounding young girls In Wash
ington.
Alien Johnstone, of Baltimore. said
that the Kenyon law now in force in
washington was not applicable 10
modern conditions. 1t was designed
TO abolish the old red light district"
ia said, and did not reach at the kind
Of vice that thrives ON the taxi.cab
trade and rooming houses.
Police Capt. Edward w. Brown, 1'o-
ice Lieut.. Ira SheetZ, and Police
Sergt.I Edward Curry all favored ad-
ditional vice legislation. They said,
however, that the discretion granted
TO police should be carefully defined,
tnasmuch as there WAS tendency
,Ipon the part of the police now to
exceed their authority" when under
pressure.

Riga, Aug. IL (by the Associated
Press. )-An absolute guarantee Of
the protection of food supplies sent
into Russia Is asked Of the Russian
government in a draft agreement
presented Maxim Litvinoff, repre-
sentative of the soviet relief COM
mittee. by Walter Lyman Brown.
European director OF the American
relief administration this afternoon
The guarantee was asked following
the receipt of a cable by Mr.. Brown
from Herbert Hoover, head of the
American relief administration au-
thoriZing Mr.. Brown to proceed
with the negotiations for relief. Mr..
Hoover accepting the release of
seven American prisoners in Rus
sia and the promised opportunity
to other Americans to leave the
country as evidence of good faith
on the part of Russia in meeting the
demands Of Mr. Hoover as a basis
for aid for starving Russians.
On receipt of the cablegram Mr..
Brown arranged q conference with
M. Litvinoff. He explained the de-
tails of the proposed agreement
and made arrangements for another
meeting with the Russians tomor-
row when the question of signing
is expected to be settled. In addi-
ton to the regular requirements
for the receipts of American re-
lief administration supplies, speciai
or ff1a1Ildnd fY Mr.
Browns draft agreement. These
are based generally on the uncer-
tainty of Russian conditions. Mr..
Brown proposes that the relief ad-
deliver goods at ports,
from which the soviet government
in Russia Is to transport them to
the famine districts. An absolute
guarantee of freedom of travel and
for relief adminis-
tration workers in Russia is also
requested.
1--WE will have the situation in
our hands at any time Russia shows
a disposition not to act in good
faith" Mr.. Brown said today. "But
there are no evidences of that. I'm
after signing the agree
ment some OF our representatives
will go into Russia to look over the
ground"
Mr.. Brown is not personally 60
ing into Russia. He probably will
send Mr.. Carroll. who, it is ex-
pected, will act as chief OF relief
in Russia.
M. Litvinoff this morning. prior
to the receipt by Mr.. Brown of the
cable dispatch from Washington,
Mr.. Brown that he could
wait in Riga only until Saturday,
as he had important business to
attend to in Reval. He declared
that the negotiations be transferred
to Reval in the event that no de-
cision had been reached in Riga by

BRITISH MAKE.
Of FILMS EAT
j. s. |WE',,,:1( TAX
tBy The AssocIa.ed Press.)

London, England, Aug. ia
letter protesting against the pro-
posed American import tax upon
motion picture films as "prohibi-
tive and detrimental to the inter-
national interchange Of ideas OF
life," appeared in a recent issue OF
the London Times signed by six
teen British film producers who
appended their signatures to the
letter as members of the British
Producers committee of the In
corporated Association Of Kinema-
tograph Manufacturers.
The letter declared that IL Brit
ish manufacturers are to be en-
tirely debarred from introducing
scenes of English life to the peo-
pie of America, "there can be no
option but to prevent the practi-
cally free importation of American
films into this country"
The letter notes that the 80 per
cent ad valorem duty is based
upon the cost of production of
similar work in the United States,
asserting at the same time that
the cost of the production Is ad-
mittedly about five times as heavy
there as in England. The writers
say that about IS per cent of the
films shown on British screens are
Of American origin.

Total Exemption of S2,5OO
to Be Allowed Married
Men With Annual Net In
come Under $4,000,
COMMITTEE DRAFT TO
AMEND 1918 MEASURE
viii Be Presented to Confer
enCe Of Republicans Mon
day and introduced in the
House That Day,
tBy The Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 12.-Virtually
winding up revision of the levy
sections of the 1918 tax law, house
ways and means committee repub-
licans voted today to increase from
$4,000 to $4,000 the exemption al
lowed married men having an an
nual net income OF $1,000 or less.
This change would be retroactive to
January l, 1921, and would be in
addition to the increase OF $500 in
hte exemption for each dependent
Of head Of a family previously
decided upon.
Agreement was also reached. It
was said, to decrease the manufact-
urers' tax on candy from five to
three per cent, the manufacturers
tax on furs from ten to five per
cent, the tax on furs from ten to
five per cent, the tax on art works
from 10 to per cent, and to re-
peal all Of the so-called luxury
levies, including those on carpets,
rugs, trunks, travelling cases,
pocketbooks, umbrellas and porta-
BILE lighting fixtures, as we'll as
those on wearing apparel.
Under present. plans Of republi-
can leaders, the committee draft
of the completed bill, which will
be in the form of an amendment to
the 1918 law, will be presented to
q conference Of house republicans
at p. m. Monday and introduced
in the house later that day. Actual
consideration of 1t there, however,
it was said, would go over until
in order that the meas
ure could be formally passed upon
by the ways and means
committee with the democratic
members present.
While the question of a special
rule is to be decided by the party
conference, some leaders said to-
night they expected the majority
to adopt a rule limiting general
debate, fixing time for a vote and
giving priority to committee
amendments. They regarded final
action by the house a week from
tomorrow. as something more than
a probability, but II was empha-
sized that this was a matter for dee
terminatio by the party confer
ence.

In another resolution Germany
and Poland were admonished by
the supreme council to remain
quiet pending settlement Of the
issue.
Today's decision came as the
conclusion Of five days of earnest
discussion. which began with an
agreement in principle between
Mr.. Lloyd George and M. BRAND
on whoat was called q "compro~
mise iine." The premiers fell
apart, however, on the finding by
the experts that the industrial tri-
angle in Upper Silesia could not
be divided as a working economic
unit any more than could the
Pittsburgh district.
Lord Curzon, British foreign
secretary, smiled and Marshal
Foch laughed when M. BRAND,
under previous agreement with
Lloyd George. today made the
proposal that the supreme coun-
Gil submit the question of the
boundary to the league Of nations.
The decision to do so means in
effect that the governments of
Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan, being unable to agree as to
the boundary, now submit the
question to the council of the
league of nations, which consists
OF Representatives of the four
countries, in addition to represen-
tatives OF Brazil, Belgium, China
and Spain. The eight members of
the league council are requested to
report back their findings to the
four members of the supreme
council for final Judgment.
Intimations had been flying
about as the disagreement over the
situation became more evident that
President Harding would be asked
to decide upon the boundary line,
not officially as president. but un-
officially as private person. he
to be provided with every facility
for his representatives thoroughly
to examine into the question and
the powers to agree In advance to
accept his opinion as final.
