WALLACE TAKES LEASE

til October.

Secretary of Agriculture-designa
Henry c. Wallace has leased a spa
cious apartment in the Highlands.
1914 Connecticut avenue northwest,
it was learned today.
The lease will expire next October.
Whether he will renew 1t at that
time or contemplates buying a home
here. as several other cabinet ap-
nointees have done, is a matter OF
conjecture.
The apartment leased by Secretary
Wallaca for himself and family is un-
derstood to be adaptable to enter
tanning.
Mai. Edwin DENLY. the incoming
Secretary of the Navy, is residing
at the home of his brother and sister
in-law. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles DENLY.
2032 o street northwest, pending the
selection of permanent quarters in
this city.
Maj. DENLY is known to have in
quired at several apartment and
house agencies for living accommo-
dations, but so far has been unable
to find anything suited to his needs.

SHIPPING BOARD FOUND HONEST,

House Committee Recommends Centrali-
.zation of Administrative Authority
Until Disposal of Fleet

creased during the combat period.
"Of Necessity the committee de-
clared under these conditions. and
when time was of the very essence of
the problem, waste and extravaganza
resulted
The report mentioned charges made
at hearings that an effort had been
made to collect $26O.000 from the gov
ernment for the personal expenses
of Charles NJ. Schwab, while director
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation
operations, and that r. w. Boiling
brother-in-Iaw of President Wilson
had been irregular in his conduct as
treasurer of the Shipping Board
Both had previously been exonerated
by the committee. which. however.
took occasion in the report to re-
iterate that the charge involving Mr.
SchWab has not been proven and IS
not true"
Mr.. Boiling Entirely Innocent.
In clearing Mr.. Boiling from aSper-
sions the report says:
THE attention of the committee c
was directed to a report which in
VOWED the treasurer Of the Shipping
Board. X. W. Boiling. The commit
tee called witnesses and made thor
ough invstigatiOn of the incident
upon which the report was founded.
THE allegation was made that the
Downey Shipbuilding Corporation had
paid to Tucker X. Sands the sum of
$4,000, which was to be divided be-
tween Mr.. Sands. Mr.. Boiling, Mr..
Sisler. who was secretary OF the Ship
ping Board, and Mr.. Craner, who was
a representative for the Downey
Shipbuilding Corporation.
at was alleged that the purpose Of
this payment was for influence in Sc
H. 81 H,vf n n
Shipping Board to the Downey Ship
building Corporation. The testimony
showed that Mr.. Sands had agreed
to sign an affidavit which had been
prepared by representatives of GER
tain New York newspapers. but that
upon consulting his attorney he de-
clined to sign it,
The substantial allegations relat-
ing to the incident were contained in
this affidavit. The committee. after
taking all the available testimony
upon the subject. are of the opinion,
first. that K. W. Boiling did not so
licit, accept or receive any gift. bribe
or gratuity for tbe procurement of a
contract with the Downey Shipbuild-
ing Corporation or for any other pur-
pose; second, that the Downey Ship
building Corporation did not pay the
sum Of $4,000, or any sum. to be used
for the purpose of procuring con-
tract. through payments 10 X. w. BOIL
ing or other officials of the Shipping
board"
Discussing the need for more cen
tralization of administrative author
ity, the committee was of the opinion
that a single executive should be put
in charge. at least until disposal of
the governments merchant fleet had
been accomplished. American ship
operators are handicapped by existing
requirements, the report stated, but
no further recommendations were
made as to advisable charges

House committee had been told.

Attitude In UNCHANGED.
The jurist indicated that his atti-
tude on the ultimate outcome of the
controversy over his acceptance of
the post of national base ball COM
missioner had not changed since his
declaration on the subject at St
citation last December. In that ad-
dress he said:
Il realize that men may disagree
respecting a federal Judge being also
base ball commissioner. The Con-
stitution provides A way to get rid
of judicial officer--that is. by i'm
peachment. But this is a very cum
bersome process, and it does not
accord with my idea at all for a
federal Judge to avail himself of this
shield.
For my own part, and speaking
to you gentlemen with all delibera-
ton, / say that if either house of
Congress should pass a resolution
hostile to my present situation, my
resignation Immediately would go to

Medical Society Wants Hamilton
School Replaced by New Building.

A report describing conditions at
the Hamilton School for Tubercular
Children and urging the construction
of new and modern building to re-
place it. was adopted last night by the
Medical Society of the District of CO.
lumbia. The report was drafted by
committee. which made Il survey of
the Hamilton School and its surround
ings and made the following recon-
mendations:
THAT no further expenditure for
permanent improvement be made upon
the Hamilton School because of the
swampy condition of the ground and
it's most inaccessible location.
That d, suitable location be OBJ
tanned and building with modern
equipment for the care of tubercular
children be placed thereon.
THAT the children be furnished
transportation to and from the stuber-
cular school by conveyance other than
the street cars.
THAT such provisions be made for
the school and it's maintenance that
contributions from charitable organi-
cations or individuals should be unnec-
sary.
THAT a physician of the tubercular
clinic of the health department be de-
tailed to visit this school daily"

A large volume of potential buying

of the federal reserve board, made pub

An excess supply of labor is reported

Wholesale Trade Declines.
In the wholesale trade declines over
January and over February a month
ago We're generally noted. In this dis
trict decreases ranged from 239 per
cent in the sales of eight large whole
sale grocery houses to 11.6 per cent in
the sales of eight shoe firms. Hard
ware sales were 77.3 per cent less than
a year ago, and furniture sales dropped
off al per cent. Some of these hrins
show an advance over last December
sales, however.
Although there las been little pro
vision for additional homes IN ihlS
district it is reported that there
appears to be developing strong
movement toward home construction.
and various plans for bringing tniS
result are being put forward. Textile
mills in this section have increased
their output this year.
Foreign Trade Decreased.
The volume of Americas foreign
trade last year was distinctly less
than in 1919. despite the establishment
of new high record in values for
both exports and imports, according
to the review. The volume of exports
of twenty nine principal commodities
declined about 9 per cent in 1920.
while the volume of imports of %
principal commodities increased only
per cent The year of 1920, the
board declared. saw a tendancy toward
a more balanced condition of
the country's international trade in
dicated by the decided reduction in the
excess of exports over imports as
compared with an excess of exports
of a little over $4,000. 100000 in 1919.

ARE LEARNING ABOUT STARS
Men of Science Beginning to Believe They Know Something Con-
 corning tho Subject.

The first successful attempt to measure stellar distances was made in 1888 by Bessel, who determined the parallax of 61 Cygni, a little star of the sixth magnitude which had at- tracted attention by Its great proper motion of five seconds of arc Q year. At the beginning of the present cen tury 10 or 50 parallaxes had become known and in recent years progress In measurement has become very rapid. Greenwich observatory reports the determination of the parallaxes of 30 stars a yenr, while some American Observatories are doing even more. American astronomers have In prepa- ration a catalogue giving the paral- laxes of 5000 stars and It Is expected that within a very few years the dis tances of all stars visible to the naked eye in the northern hemisphere will have been made known, as well as those of many fainter stars. The paraIlaxes are determined by both trigonometrIc and spectrOscopIc meth Ods, while n third method can be ap- piled to many double stars.
