FATHERS CLAIM
War Risk Bureau Head In
sists on Strict Inter-
probation.

Director of the Bureau Of War
Risk Insurance, r. C. Cholmelev-
Jones, will insist upon a strict in
depreciation of the law creating the
bureau with regard to the limit
placed on the range of benefCiaries
under the policies issued to soldiers
in the mandamus proceedings insti-
tuted against him by John F. Norris,
of Baltimore. Md, when the case is
heard tomorrow in the District Su-
preme Court.
Norris sued for a monthly allot-
ment alleged to be due him on the
death Of william Ricketts,. a SOL
dier to whom he had been a foster
father since childhood.
The War Risk Bureau claims that
foster fathers and foster mothers
are not included in the lawful list
Of benehciaries by Congress and
that. therefore. it IS claimed, the
bureau is powerless to act unless
the court decides that Congress in
tended to include them.
On the outcome Of this case
hinges the claims of thousands of
other foster parents of soldiers and
sailors killed in the world war. The
Norris case is the first one to be
aired in the courts.

UPHOLDS ADVANCES
ON CARIBBEAN SEA

Advances of the United States on
the Caribbean sea are justified on
historical grounds and principles Of
international law and morality, said
Pedro Capo Rodriguez, a local Porto
Rican lawyer, speaking in Spanish
before the Spanish-American Athen-
cum in the Thomson School last
night.
Senior Rodriguez said he believed
that reported abuses of authority by
American officials in San Domingo
and Hayti were condemned by the
people and responsible government
officials. He said the United States
was legally and morally justified in
supervising the coming by-elections
in Cuba, because of the unsettled
conditions in the island republic.
Prof. F. Perez de Vega read an
original poem, entitled, "Renuncia-
ion" to the meeting. Vocal selec-
tions were given by Miss Glendora

Training School Head
Points Out Need of
Care for Girls.

Calling upon women to foster the
movement for better correctict and
prison methods regarding delin-
quent girls and women. Mrs. Jennie
A. Grif1th, superintendent of the
National Training school. for Girls,
and Miss Julia A. Jaffray, executive
secretary of the National Commit
tee on Prisons and Prison Labor, OF
New York. addressed a meeting at
the Women's City Club. 20 Jackson
place, last night.
Miss Jaffray praised the work OF
the woman's bureau of the District
police department and declared that
1t was one of the best in the coun-
try, because IL was unhampered by
politics. Such bureaus are needed
all over the country, for 1t is high
ly important that all women pris-
oners should be cared for by women
from the time of their arrest until
they are again set free" she said.
The inmates of the District
house OF detention, and all prison.
ers, should be given mental, phys
ical and vocational tests immedi-
ately after they are taken into Gus
tody and then sent to some iffsti-
tuition which fits their needs and
which will properly At them for a
place in the world after they are
set free.
THE present crime wave in New
York and other parts OF the country
is a glowing example that the pres
ent prison system is a failure. AS
soon as we reach the point where
we can properly care for delinquent
children we have overcome three
quarters of the prison problem.
Mrs. Jennie A. Griffith explained
the work which is being done to cor
rect delinquent girls OF WashingtoU
at the National Training School, bu'
pointed out that the work was
greatly hampered, owing to lack OF
facilities and accommodations.

VOTELESS PLIGHT
OF DISTRICT AIRED
AT HOUSE HEARING
Local Leaders Describe
Injustice to Members
Of Committee.

Hearings, on national representa-
tion for the District Of Columbia
were resumed last night before the
House Judiciary Committee and will
be continued Saturday morning when
opponents Of the measure will be
given an opportunity to be heard.
Theodore W. Noyes, representing
the Joint Citizens Association,
answered the question as to why
District citizens did not try to OBJ
tain local government before
national representation, by saying
that there was some division of
opinion as to what form of local
government was most desirable, and
that IL had been decided to con-
centrate upon the national represen-
tation first.
Brands Injustice.
. Noyes declared that denial of par
tlcipatiOn in their national govern
ment to $4,000 Americans, who are
national taxpayers and potential
soldiers, was an evil. 1t was an
imposition, he said, to impose upon
these $4,000 Americans every ma
tional burden and refuse them CORE
spending powers.
The segregation Of District resi-
dents, as defective and delinquent
americans on the same plane as
aliens in representation in Congress
and the electoral college, and on a
lower footing than aliens as suitors
IN rhe Federal courts, he char
acteFized as an injustice.
NOyes assented, in reply to sug-
gestions from committee members,
that before Congress determined
dehnttet ty the form of representation
for the District, that a voting CEN
sus should be taken, preferably by
the police.

Salem,-The constitutional Today
period prescribed for legislative SEES
sions expired Saturday, but owing
to the fact that many bills remained
for attention, both houses deemed ii
wise to extend the session over into
this week and adjournment vas taken
until Monday morning.
There were 288 measures when the
two houses began proceedings Satur-
day, so it was quite evident that a
jam during the closing hours could
not be avoided. By extending the SEES
sion beyond the constitutional period
It could be brought TO a close in an
orderly and business like manner with,
out the confusion and turmoil certain
TO prevail if an attempt was made to
conclude within the 40-day period,
Members will receive no pay for their
labors this week.
Among the important measures
which awaited final action when the
session adjourned Saturday were the
road bills, reapportionment bill and
the appropriation bills. A total OF
745 bills had been introduced in both
houses. OF this number 366 were in
troduced in the house and 379 in the
