the House District committee today.
Chairman Focht, who has been en-
deavoring to get a special day in the
House for consideration of the impor-
tant District legislation now on the
calendar, explained to the committee
that, while he had-not received much
encouragement from the House lead
ers, he has been led to believe that

permit the erection of a million-dol-

has received no intimation, however.

the committee that it is very indefi-

! will have an opportunity to cell up
District bills now on the calenda-
House Leader Mondell rules that the
Fitzgerald workmen's compensation
bill Is unfinished business and must be
! disposed Of before other District
measures are taken up.
The alley bill reported out today

dwellings until June 1, 1923. Chair
man Focht read a letter from the
| District Commissioners explaining
| that such action seemed desirable
| because there is no. time for the

| homes because congestion through
out the city is too great and because

terially improved.

alley conditions. He said that condi-
tions were shocking. abominable,
were unparalleled in any city in the

on the committee that they would

ditions were found in their home
cities. Representative Walters said
that an honest effort should be made
by the District officials and by the
owners Of these alley buildings to inn
prove conditions and that personal in

such attempt had been made.

MOSCOW August 26.-RuSsia has al
ready reduced her fighting forces to
100000 men. and is always ready to
enter any disarmament conference which
gives guarantees of success. She does
not anticipate any immediate interven-
ton, but considers that an attack is
always possible, and it is doubtful If
she could remain passive in tho event
that France invaded the Ruhr region
and enlisted Poland in a renewal Of the
conflict with Germany.
Leon Trotsky. soviet minister Of war,
made these assertions in an interview
in which he submitted to a cross
fire of questions from fifteen foreign

government prefers the humane method
of exiling its opponents in Russia rather
than crushing them. but added in reply
to question that the political freedom
of party organization will be restored
in Russia only when the power Of capi-
tai is broken.
Regarding the American relief ad-
