HOPE TO OPEN FEW
FAIRGROUNDS SOON
Officials Encouraged by
! Growth of Fund, Which
n -
Now Amounts to 1886.

g Donations to the Fairgrounds fund
SFeceived at the District building yes
terday afternoon. which swelled the
ssctai amount thus far given to $33S,
usused Commissioner Oyster and Mrs.
,Rusie Root Rhodes. supervisor of play
grounds, to believe there will be at
least $500 fund available by the
middle of the week for opening some
of the capitals school Fairgrounds.
!. The District authorities are pleased
by the response the public has made
&0sthe appeal for money for this cause.
SRhe appeal was not issued until the
middle of last week, and the dona-
lions received have exceeded expecta-
tions.
If only $500 should be raised that
amount would be sufficient for keep
ing three school grounds open during
the remainder of the summer. The
opening of two or three of the Juve-
nile recreation parks might seem
small matter in view of the fact there
are seventy-two school Fairgrounds,
only six of which are open at present.
but the city officials do not look at 1t
that way. They are considering the
fact there are $4,000 children in
Washington who. are forced to look
for their recreation on the streets.
Consequently. the opening of a single
ground. they point out, means the
probable withdrawal of a considerable
number of children from the streets,
which. in turn, means reducing the
likelihood of traffic accidents.
Commi ssioner oyster suggested that
residents of communities desiring the
opening of school Fairgrounds should
make up club funds of $50. 1t Is es.
, timated $3.50 will cover the expenses
of operating a ground during the re-
mainder of the summer. Where resi-
dents get together and provide the
money for a particular ground. the
Commissioner will see % 1t that the
community wish Is carried out.
Commissioner Oyster hopes WASH
ingtonians will not lose sight of the
fact that the fund being raised is for
an emergency which. it is hoped. will
not exist next veGr. The Commits
sioners believe Congress will provide
in the next appropriation a. TO" keeD

OFFICIAL WORD LACKING.
Relief Work Can Begin Forty.
Eight Hours After Release.

Oficisl word of the Russian soviet
authorities decision regarding the
American relief administrations Of
fer to furnish food to starving Rus
sian children, nditioned on the re-
lease of American prisoners, and the
State Department 8. demand for their
release still was lacking late yesterday.
The State Department., however. was
officially informed late in the day of
the arrival at Riga of Mrs. Marguer-
lite L. Harrison OF Baltimore, one OF
the American prisoners.
Beyond press dispatches announcing
the soviet governments acceptance OF
the relief offer and its willingness to
free American prisoners, Secretary
Hoover. chairman of the relief ad"
ministration, was without reply to
his telegram sent last week to Maxim
telegram was acknowledged several
days ago.
Action May BE Reply.
On the basis of press reports that
the reply was being sent by way OF
London, officials here declared that
the answer might be expected at
any time. State Department officials.
on the other hand, suggested that no
formal answer would be made to de-
mand of the American government
for the release of it's citizens held by
the soviet, but if they were freed
under the conditions Of Secretary
Hoover's offer the Russian authors
ties would let the action stand as
speaking for itself. Release of Mrs.
Harrison. unannounced, was said to
indicate the possible adoption of such
q course.
In the absence Of an official answer
to the Relief Administrations offer.
Secretary Hoover withheld comment.
Mr.. Hoover indicated. however. that
relief work could begin within forty
eight hours from the time American
prisoners were out of Russia and rep
resentatives of the administration
would be sent at once to Riga to
negotiate the details of food distri-
button.

TARIFF VALUATION
Dye Embargo Section Of Bill
Will Also Be Dis
posed Of.

The questions Of whether the Amer
ican valuation provision shall be re-
tanned in the Fordney tariff bill and
whether the dye embargo section
shall be restored in the measure will
be decided by the Senate finance COM
mittee before hearings are held on the
proposed duties.
Two days more, tomorrow and
Tuesday. will be given over to discus
sion of the domestic valuation plan
and the dye embargo question will
be considered Wednesday, after which
the committee will meet executively
to thrash out it's program.
of the controversial questions was
reached yesterday after a morning

the opinion of committee members

Chairman Pehrose had said earlier in
the week that the committee prob
ably would decide the policy on
American valuation this week and the
agreement yesterday was made to in
clude the dye ban as a measure Of
speeding up action.
Warned to Speed Up.
Senator Penrose earlier in the day
had warned that unless more speed
was injected into the committees
work the country would not have a
new tariff before ".considerable snow

AS as result Of the agreement the
second week of the committees con-
sideration Of the bill is allotted and none
Of the committee members would

After the open hearings are COM
pleted the committee still will have
before it the actual work Of rewrit-
found necessary. For that reason
leaders on all sides regard the time
of return Of the bill to tho Senate
as highly uncertain.
All Of the rates in the measure
We're computed by the House ways
assessing duties on the American
rather than the foreign wholesale
market value of the comm odities. IT
the Plan is rejected by the Senate

Senator Penrose.
Although the dye embargo section
was eliminated by the House after a
hght, witnesses appeared yesterday
urging its restoration and telling the
committee that to leave it out Of the
measure would result in destruction
OF the American dye and chemical in
dustry by the German syndicate OBJ
jections to its incorporation in the
bill also were heard. The committee
itself appeared sharply divided and
several times Chairman Penrose asked
that the discussion Of policy" be
withheld for executive sessions

quick action, telling the committee
that unless their industry were given
some protection 1t would be destroyed
by German competition. The sugges-
tion was made that the tariff bill
would not be out OF committee by the
date the wartime control now in
force had ended and that ii might be
continued by congressional resolu-
ton until permanent legislation could
be enacted. Committee members
said. however. that the suggestion by
witnesses assumed that the bill'would
contain an embargo and If none were
placed on 1t no further considera-
ton ought to be given the question.

Flather was detailed at police head
quarters as n detective from August
Is, 1900. until Mrach 16, 1907, when
he asked to be relieved
His request to be relieved from duty

The senator mentioned furs as one
Of the possible products of trade
with the United States, and asserted
that there would be plenty of exports
when the factories were equipped
and agricultural needs were supplied
from abroad. He thought commts-

should have the right to send one to
America also.
Describing his visit, he said he was
free to move about and see what ne
liked. and the officials frankly ad-
mitted bad conditions where they
existed. The senator secured Mrs.
Harrison's release from prison lnde-
pendent of the Hoover and Hughes
notes. of which he knew little. Mrs
Harrison was freed from the prison
hospital only a few hours before the
train left Thursday. and was sur
prised to find herself at liberty.
