Peace Session Bill
For Run, Under Fire

State Department officials will be
asked to throw some light on the
expenditures of the American Peace
Commission, when the sub-com
mittee on foreign affairs of the
House Appropriations Committee be-
gins consideration of the diplomatic
and consular bill Monday, Chairman
John Jacob Rogers announced yes
terday.
President Wilson's report to Con-
gress on expenditures by the peace
commission showed among other
items $125,000 for damages to Hotel
Crillon, in Paris, and two large
amounts for food and subsistence.
In his original announcement that
the expenditures would be inves-
tigated, Rogers stated he would like
to know how many bottles of cham
pagne were purchased by members
OF the commission at government
expense and how many broken
candeliers were included in the
damage bill. If there were any, he
said, the hour of the morning and
the conditions under which they
were smashed also would be of in
terest to Congress.

CLOSING DAY
Record Made When $500
Tags Are Issued Sew
eral Too Late.

The door Of the Office Of the su-
pertntendent Of licenses at the Dis
trtct Building closed almost on the
heels of A ]. Baker, of GIL Prince
ton street yesterday afternoon at
S6;o1 o'clock. Baker held an enve-
lope containing the last automobile
license tag issued during 1920. The
number OF the tag was 30,ass.
Announcement that the Commits
sioners would not extend the time
for getting 1921 license tags fur
ther than yesterday brought an all
day crowd to the license office. Rec
ord business was done. approx
mately $500 tags being issued The
largest days business in 1920 tags
was 1850.
An estimated total of $4,000 in
payment for tags poured into the
District Golfers yesterday. Clerks
in the license office and in the Of
fice of the collector of taxes were
kept busy from opening time until
o'clock. Broken boxes that once
contained tags, wasted applications
and other miscellany filled the Of
fees when the day was done. Sew
eral late arrivals besieged the IL
cense office in vain after the closing
hour.
During the last fiscal year 55.oeo
automobiles were owned and oper-
ated in the District, according to
license records. Wade n. Coombs,
superintendent of licenses, said last
night that he expected a greater
number this year.
Motorists who failed to get tags

FLU OUTBREAKS
DECLARED MINOR
Surgeon General Cumming
Sees Cause for Optimism
In Situation.

Minor outbreaks OF influenza re-
ported in various sections of the
country to the United States Public
Health Service called for a state
ment of optimism relative to the
minor chances of an epidemic of the
disease this year, by Surg. Gen. H.
S. Cumming yesterday.
IAN attack OF influenza appears
to confer definite immunity to
subsequent attacks and inasmuch
as the epidemics OF 1918 and 1919
affected so large a proportion of the
population, there would seem to be
reasonable grounds for believing
that even should the 'fiu' become
prevalent here and there it would
not assume the epidemic proper
tions of the past two years, nor
would it rage in such severe form, ~
Gen. Cumming said yesterday.
Gen. Cumming declared effective
measures of health conservation
constitute a most urgent need of the
present reconstruction period. He
deplored the attention given to
spectacular epidemic outbreaks at
the expense of daily occurrences of
many prevalent deaths and asked
support for increased health ap-
propriations

LEGION MEMORIAL
DESPITE PROTEST
X. of c. Offer Stands, Supreme
Knights Reply to
Baptists.

The Knights of Columbus offer Of
a s5,o00.000 memorial building to
the American Legion will remain
open in spite of the protest of the
Baptist Ministers convention of
Chicago recently. Supreme Knight
James A. Flaherty. OF Philadelphia,
said yesterday.
The Baptist protest alleged the
fund was contributed by all peoples
and should not be used as Roman
Catholic propaganda" The protest
also alleged the building would be
under Catholic control rather than
American Legion.
In reply, F7aherty says the con-
troll OF the building is to be placed
entirely IN the power of the Ameri-
can Legion and the funds to be
used in this way will be entirely
within the terms of the trust and
the general intention of the donors
of the war money! to the Knights
of Columbus. The offer has not yet
been accepted by the American

SAVES LIBERTY HUT

Other Buildings Listed
For Barracks-Woods y
To Make Report.

Liberty Hut, near Union station
plaza, will be saved from demolition
to serve for housing one or more
of the military organizations COM
ing to Washington for the inaugu-
ration.
This was understood yesterday to
have been attentively arranged in
connection with the plans for shell
tering visiting delegations, and
other buildings are on the list for
such use. Elliott Woods, superin-
tendent of the Capitol, will make
q report to the joint committee of
Congress which has the ceremoniaf
In hand. giving some idea Of the
space available in various build
ings, particularly those belonging
to the government.
The question of turning over the
Pension building for the inaugural
ball will be settled at a meeting Of
the joint committee this week. The
plan is opposed by many Senators
on the ground that it would be
expensive to suspend work during
the week or more required for its

lures and records.
stand Plans Held Up.
Since the announcement by Sem
ator Borah that he would introduce
a bill Monday limiting the govern
ment expenditures for the inaugu-
ration to $4,000 the plans for erec-
tion of a stand in front Of the
Capitol at a cost Of S22,700 and for
spending about $4,000 on other ar
rangements at the Capitol have
been held in allegiance.
Senators Norris, Fletcher, Lenroot
and others have indicated their
favor for the strictest possible econ
omy in connection with the inaug-
ural, so far as the government is
concerned, but citizens and business
interests of Washington are urging
the advantages of a Worthwhile
celebration this year and pointing
to the fact that the real expenses
will be footed by the District and
not by the government. Since Pres
ident-elect Harding has expressed
no opposition to the affair taking
on the proportions of a real ma
tional Republican celebration, it is
expected that strict economy will
not interfere. More than $4,000 was
spent by the government four years
ago and costs are 80 per cent higher.
Room for All Units.
As chairman of the Public Build
ings Commission Senator Smoot of
Utah informed the Senate Thurs
day that many organizations out
side have applied for accommoda-
tions, and that space will be pro-
vided for them, as in the past, with
cut oxtra cost to the government.
The chief expense so far as the
Federal treasury is concerned, will
be for the construction of a stand
at the Capitol, and s22,700 was the
minimum bid among twelve received
for this work.
In view of these facts some Of
the Senators are disposed to antag-
onize Senator Borah's plan for hold
ing the allowance within $4,000.
