Plan for May Day Celebration,
Sprung From Cancelled Inaugural,
Backed by Officials and Merchants

nished with several photographs
and other views Of Washington on
which to base his plans for iIlu-
minsting the city on May Day.
In the meantime, Ryan's scheme
was broached to several local bUsi-
ness and professional men and met
with unanimous approval. Ryan
left Washington. but will be here
soon again, when he is expected to
present to Commissioner Hendrick
his proposals for the celebration.
News of the plan has heretofore not
been circulated freely, because the
discussions were indefinite for the
most part
Commissioner Hendrick returned
late last night from a brief visit
to New York. His wish Is that the
May Day project be discussed more
generally. and advocacy or criticism
OF the plan be made by citizens
when definite arrangements have
been announced.

ABANDONED BABY
FOUND ON PORCH

Grocery boxes that emit cries are
rare.
Such a one excited the curiosity of
RS French shortly before Wednes-
day midnight, particularly since it
was on the front steps of his some
at 2616 Cathedral avenue. After he
had unwound several yards of sheet
ing he discovered that the odd noe
turnal package was a baby girl
without any mark of Identification.
So complete had been the precau-
tions of the person leaving the
founding. that a corner of the sheet,
which evidently had borne a laun-
dry mark or initials, had been torn
on. French from o'clock on had
heard quavering cries, but for long
time imagined they were made by
a cat.
OFFERS Of the Sub-Tennallytown
police station answered a phone call
from French and removed the infant
to the Founding Home. There II
was said to be less than week old
and in good health.

to cope with the mighty problems
with which he is confronted. sena-
tor McCormick's speech came a day
after his return from a conference
with the President-eIect and was
his first speech dealing with world
AFFAIRS since his return from Eu-
rope.
IF Congress delays and hampers
the present development of the
navy, it will confuse and hamper
the President-elect in the discharge
Of the heaviest duty he mas to per-
form" Senator Mccormick said.
1t would be folly the Senator con-
tended to call Great Britain and
France to a disarmament confer
ence while the British sea force is
twice as powerful as the American
navy and Japan is rushing her ma
val construction as fast as she can.
The assertion was made by the
Senator that it was Britain's dis
tressing economic situation and no
desire to scrap the battleship that
induced her temporarily to cease
such construction.
'Unaided by her Japanese ally"
said Senator Mccormick, the Brit
tSh empire so dominates the seas
that she can afford to pause until
she can replenish her treasury. And
the more so as she knows that in
America there is on foot an agita-
tiOn to block the movement to build
an equal American battle fleet"
The whole world is unsettled.
That Is one of the consequences OF
the settlement of Paris which / be-
lieve cannot last without radical
readjustments. The achievement of
something like an equality of naval
equality between the United States
and the British empire will serve
to restore the balance of power in
the world"
Senator Mccormick concluded
with a protest against the renewal
OF the alliance between Great Brit
ain and Japan.

liberatsIy sends out a false state
ment rejecting on the other seven
teen members from Texas and every
other member; an untrue statement
from which he expects to set per-
sonal beneft
Disproves Colleagues Boast.
He says he Is the only honest
man in the House of Representa-
tives-the greatest legislative body
of men elected by sovereign people
in the world II he left for only
a few minutes the other 434 mem
bers would mako a raid on the
Treasury"
Referring to Blantons boast that
he alone had prevented the MEM
bers from increasing their salaries
Summers cited the Congressional
Record to show that the only two
occasions during tha past three
years when such a proposition was
brought up in the House, a point
OF order was raised on the hrst
occasion by Representative Byrns,
of Tennessee, and on the second by
Representative Wood. of Indiana
After Wood made the point Of
order, then the gentleman from Tex
as made it, said Summers amid
laughter. He reminds me Of no
account old coon dog l once heard
Of He couldn't tree a coon and
he couldn't whip one, but after the
coon was shot down out of tree
and every dog in the country knew
it was dead. this old coon dog was
the fgAtin' est coon dog in the world.
Declares Him Dangerous
He says he is the only honest
man in the House, but I'll tell you
what he is-he is the most dan
gerous man in the country. He can
| do more harm that all the soap
box orators in the country because
he occupies a position as a member
Of this body"
Summers then read an editorial
| from a Texas paper commenting on
BlantOn's statement. The editorial
Iauded Blanton for his good work
and wound up by saying: TT is such
things as these that make the people
disguised with Congress" The edt-
torial was right. declared Summers,
| but the editor arrived at his con-
cIusions on the wrong hypothesis.
At the end of his speech. Summers
said he was a peace-loving man and
| regretted having been forced to take
such action, but that the welfare of
the nation depended upon the peO-
pies conception of Congress and
that to let such falsehoods go un-
challenged would be to breed Boil
| shevism.
Scored By Former Engineers.
Wednesday BlantOn was attacked
by Representative DeWalt, Demo
crat. Of Pennsylvania. who waXed
extremely satiric in his denuncia-
tion of the Texan. He was followed
by Representatives Cooper OF Ohio
and Carss of Minnesota, both former
locomotive engineers.
