DR.. Fowler's letter in part follows:
II learn that you are raising $780,
600 to continue and expand the work
OF the society. This money, of course.
Is needed to keep at work, your ef-
ficient stan of graduate nurses, who
are constantly endeavoring to protect
even the most remote parts of our
city against disease. This $50. 900
should be subscribed not only by the
rich. but in voluntary contributions
from every walk of life. i feel that
every resident of the District, who
can possibly do so. should respond
generously to this appeal. .
The District has no power Under
law to care for the sick in their
homes and a large percentage of our
sick are in their homes. In these
cases the society has found a crying
need for it's services and IL Is with
much pleasure that / watch you
meeting this need with a great
measure of success"

Real Majority Cloture
Rule i'm Senate Hmpends

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 (By The AS
sociatcd Press A movement to cur
tail Senatorial privilege of practically
unlimited debate reached such proper
tions to-day that an unofficial commit
tee of Republican Senators went to
the White House and conferred on the
question with President Harding.
While the proposed rule has not yet
been drawn up, it was understood that
the plan contemplates a change in the
Senate rules so that cloture would be
invoked by mere majority vote, in
stead of by the two-thirds vote now
required. After invocation of the rule
each Senator's time for debate would
be limited to one hour, it was said
Sudden as was the movement to def
nitely restrict the ancient rule permit
ting Senators to speak at length, those
behind the plan declared tonight for
che first time in the Senate's history
adoption of a real majority cloture rule
impendcd,
The informal committee which dis
cussed the matter with the President
consisted of Senators Lenroot. of Wis
consin; Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey,
and Kellogg. of Minnesota, and was
said to have received assurances that
the Executive would not interpose any
objections to the cloture plan.

bustics McAvoy in the Supreme
Court yesterday denied the applica

directing that a new Democratic
primary election be held to determine
whether Hines, the anti-Murphy candi-
date, or Julius Miller, he Tammany
organization candidate. shall be the
Democratic nominee fer President of

independently against Miller, who was
named by Charles T. Murphy.
Hines received more than 10000
votes, and in the examination Of the
ballots cast throughout the borough
his counsel Vincent S. Lippe. declared
that there had been so much fraud
discovered that a new primary cleo
tion would be the only equitable solu-
ton of the fight.
Justice McAvoy said that the deci-
sion of the court must be governed by
proof that the primary election had
been so permeated by fraud, as alleged
by Hines, as to render it impossible
for the count to determine the true
result Such proof, held the Justice,
had not been presented. The affidavits

wood committee yesterday returned
two indictments under the Sherman
anti-trus1 law, which, according to
Special Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney David l.. Podcll, involve
every terra Gotta manufacturer in the
country but one.
The first indictment names twenty
two corporations and twenty seven in
dividuals connected with them, and
covers the entire country. The second
involves seven corporations. and eleven
individuals doing business in the East
ern section of the United States, all of
whom are also named in the first in
dictment.
All these corporations are members
of the National Terra Gotta Society,
whose headquarters are at | Madison
Avenue. Mr.. Podell explained yester-
day that the reason for returning two
indictments was that one charge was
found against members of the Eastern
division of the society, who also belong
to the Eastern Terra Gotta Association.

lish against the manufacturers in the

tigation.

kiln capacity" he declared. "They
took pains to see that the supply never
equalled the demand"
Terra Gotta, he added, is second only
