ID. c. AUTO PERMITS
SHOW BIG SLUM P
Eighty-Two Applicants Unable to
Pass New Traffic Ex-
aminations.

Washington motorists during the
past month have discovered that to
get a permit to operate an automobile
in Washington these days an appli-
cant must know a little more than
that machine has four wheels, a
hood and top.
This is disclosed by the first months s
report of the traffic bureau of the po-
lice department, under direction of
Capt. A. J. Headley. OF every ten per-
sons who filed an application for a
permit at least one was turned down.
The total number of permits issued
during April, the first month Of the bu-
reau's existence. was S11. Eight hun
dred ana ninety-three Washingtonians
had applied for permits and eighty-two
were turned down. Those receiving per-
mits were obliged to show knowledge Of
operation of automobiles.
And there is another interesting item
to be noticed. In March, when all per-
son needed to do to get permit was to
put up the necessary currency and tell
the type of vehicle he or she wished
to drive, 2,791 permits were issued.
.-- In February 1900 were issued, and in
January 1864 cardboards were pre-
sented to applicants.
Under the new order things appear to
be different. This is testified to by the
fact that scores left the bureau during
the month without even putting in an
application for a permit.

ECONOMY DEMAND
MAY HALT PROJECT
Secretary MELONS Warning
Perturbs Proponents of New
Executive Departments.

Congressman and other proponents
of the suggested creation of three
new executive departments of the
government-the departments of well
fare, of education and of public
health-find themselves much per-
turbed over the insistent demand of
Secretary Mellon for rigid economy in
expenditures. They apprehend they
Will encounter encouragement to ad-
ditional opposition to their plans and
material obstruction in the very prac-
tical points raised by the Secretary
of the Treasury, involving the cost
of the new departments and the rails
ing of the "wherewithaI" to support
them.
Involve Large Expenditure.
While it is realized that the repub
lican party is committed to the es-
tablishment of these uplift depart
ments, and President Harding is in
thorough sympathy with the projects,
the congressman also recognize that
the enterprises must necessarily in
volve the expenditure of large sums,
ever increasing in amount. They
can foresee difficulty in launching
ernment is hard put to it to make
both ends meet in the upkeep of the
existing establishment.
1t is expected that a proposal will
be made, in the face of this situation,
that the advocates of the creation OF
department of welfare and de-
partment of education shall combine
their efforts for Single depart
ment TO be known as the department
of welfare and education. This pro-
posal will meet with determined op-
position. it is anticipated by con-
gressmen, and will be sure to lead to
prolonged contest that may result
in both projects going over to an
other session or even another Con-
gress.
Part of the controversy will be
whether the department. if it should
an "uplft" department presided over
by a woman, as tacitly promised by
the republican party, or would be es-
sentially an educational department
with a man at it's head. The women
contend there is no reason why
woman should not be at the head of
an educational department as well as
one associated with the public wei
fare.
Another Combination PrOpo~ed.
Then there is talk Of combining the
department of public health with the
public welfare institution, and in
that case the public health service Is
said to fear It might be subordinated.
Proponents of all three projects are
fighting to keep them separate SO
that each will be alone and para
mount in it's field.
In the background are the congress-
men who are opposed to further ex-
tension of bureaucracy on general
principles and who insist that these
proposed new departments will en-
large the system against which they
inveigh. These men are glad that
Secretary Mellon has sounded the
warning against expenditures and

JAPANESE ENVOY
ASKS j. S. UNITY
Baron Shidehara Declares
Understanding Can Adjust
Racial Difficulties.

CLEVELAND. May 3.-Differences
between the United States and Japan
"call for adjustment, but their exist
pessimistic forecast" Baron Shide-
hara, the japanese ambassador, de-
clared today in an address before the
Cleveland Chamber of Commerce.
'Is there any question between u.s.
he asked, which cannot be set at rest
by the ordinary process Of friendly
discussion? Is there any question be-
tween US which can be set at rest by
any other process? Sane and honest
diplomacy, backed by sense, reason
charity and mutual concession. will
alone lead to the lasting settlement
of these problems. There is absolute
ly no other course"
Declaring that the stability of every
human institution" about the shores
of the Pacific ocean depended upon the
understanding between Japan and
the United States, Baron Shidehara
said a grave responsibility rested
upon the United States and Japan.
Neither can avoid it," he asserted.
How can we turn from such a solemn
to indulge in foolish recriminations?
And yet we are constantly fed upon
wild speculations, which tend to
create an atmosphere of uneasiness
and tension in our mutual relation

Japan Against Immigration.
Taking up the Japanese question
on the Pacific coast, the Japanese am
bassador reiterated the declaration of
his government that Japan claimed
mo right, nor has she any intention,
in fact, of sending emigrants to this
country"
''She has held consistently to the
policy of placing restrictions upon
such emigration" he continued. She
only asks for her nationals lawfully
resident in this country that just and
equitable treatment which is in line
with the fine traditions of the Ameri-
can people. She desires nothing more
nor can she be satisfied with any
thing less.
1T is evident that mass immigration
of aliens of a particular race, on the
one hand, and unfair and discrimina-
will equally tend to. hamper their
natural process Of assimilation.
Neither of such obstacles should be
permitted to exist, if assimilation is
to be encouraged. And after all there
are only 1875 900 Japanese in the whole
mainland of the United States"
Champions Assimilation.
Referring to the statement that the
Japanese were not asSimilable, the
ambassador said that when given "the
opportunity and privilege" the Japa-
nese were capable of intellectual and
spiritual assimilations which are COM

fed manhood and loyal service to the
community in which he resides"
But does it seem quite fair" he
asked, ito condemn men for keeping
alive old allegiances so long as they
are denied the privilege of forming
new ones? Every man must have
country, and loyalty to that country
is one of the supreme virtues"

Cabinet Asked to Economic Be-
cause of $21e, 100000 Deficit Es-
innate Before Congress.

President Harding launched drive
today against what he termed the dan
gerous tendency" of government de-
partments to live beyond the means
provided for them by Congress and
submit requests for deficiency appro-
priations to cover deficits.
In identical letters to cabinet mem
bers, the President directed attention
to the fact that calls for approx
mately 100000 in deficiency ap-
propriations are now pending and
that the estimated deficiencies Will
run very much beyond that sum-.
Urges Economy.
The full text of his letter follows:
Il am in receipt of letter from
Chairman Warren of the Senate COM
mittee on appropriations calling my
attention to the fact that estimates
now before Congress call for approx
imately S216,006,000 of deficiency ap-
preparations, and that the estimated
deficiencies will run very much be-
yond that sum. l do not know OF any
more dangerous tendency in the ad-
ministration of governmental de
partments. and l am very sure that
we can never fix ourselves firmly on
basis of economy until the depart
ments are conducted within the pro-
visions made by Congress.
Il wish you would cali this matter
to the attention of the various bureau
chiefs, so that a like situation may
not be reported in future"
In his letter to the President. Sem
ator Warren gave the total of defici-
ency estimates now actually before
Congress as s215,S9i.2SS.
Exceeding Appropriation Excuseless.
There is no question" he wrote.
"about estimates for strictly legal
deficiencies submitted in accordance
with the provisions of the law; but
rot all of these sums are of this
character. ! notice that some are for
new work entirely and have no place
whatsoever in deficiency bills.
"Jt would SEEM that heads of de-
partments and government establish
E1ents and officers of the government
charged with the responsibility of
submission of estimates should be
held to a strict accountability. Now
that the war is over there seems to
be little excuse for the various de-
partments and establishments not
conducting their expenditures more
nearly within their appropriations"

CONFER ON MERGER,
SEE QUICK ACTION
House Committeeman Hold
First Conference and Study
Woods Bill.

After the first conference today Of
the special subcommittee Of the
House District committee on legisla-
street car lines in Washington. the
members individually expressed hope
that it would be possible soon to work
out a solution of this problem.
Most of the time of the committee
was taken up with an explanation by
Representative James p. Wood of Vir-
ginia of the bill which he drafted by
direction of another special subcom-
mittee in the last session of Congress
after extensive hearings had been
held by the full District committee.
In brief, the Woods bill would first
remove the prohibition placed by Con-
gress against consolidation of the
street car companies with Potomac
Electric Power Company, although the
entire stock of the latter company is
held by the street. car company. The
Woods bill also would compel a mer-
ger if a voluntary merger is not ef-
fected. by imposing a heavy excess
profits tax which would equalize the
earnings of the two lines.
Three new members of the House
District committee, Representatives
KunZ of Illinois. Spruol of Illinois and
Hammer of North Carolina, took a
f'''' ff'iFc a''t ne11'H1nl IN tne
conference today. All three of these
ncw members showed an intimate ac-
quaintance with street railway prob
lens and an earnest desire to be help
full in relieving the situation here in
Washington. They made number Of
valuable suggestions.
Will Hear Commissioners.
Representative Fred N. Zihlman of
Maryland, chairman Of the subcom-
mittee, was instructed to confer with
the Senate committee and see if the
senators desired to hold joint hear
ings 1t was not decided whether to
hold extensive hearings or to report
out the bill as soon as possible on the
information supplied at the hearings
last year. The sentiment, however,
seemed to be that the committee al
ready had before it sufficient infor-
nation and that it would be more ad-
vantageous for the public to get the
bill up for action in the House as
soon as possible. The District Com
missioners WILL. of course. be given
an opportunity to he heard, Repre-
sentative Zihlman said.
Representative Zihlman put into
the Record the action taken on April
81 by the public service commission
of Maryland. which handed down
decision allowing the Berwyn and
Riverdale line. which is subsidiary
of the Washington Railway and
Electric to discontinue because it
would be necessary in order to con-
tinue operating the line to charge a
fare which would be exorbitat.

The Maryland public service COM
mission, however, did not allow the
Berwyn line to take up it's tracks
This commission took the position
that the District Public Utilities
Commission should take into con-
sideration all facts regarding the op-
