FAIR EASTER SUNDAY
FOR WASHINGTONIANS
STILL PROBLEMATICAL

A fair Easter Sunday and Mon
day for Washington and vicinity
more or less depends on the itin--
erary to be chosen by a storm now
located over. Colorado. If the
storm decides to head for the great
lakes, all will be well here, but
il it takes a course due east.
Washington is likely to remain in
doors one of the two days or both.
In tho meantime, the weather bu-
ruea has comfy" weather for the
city. Fair and cool tomorrow is
the forecast. with the temperature
in the morning about IS degrees.
The storm that tore through
Washington yesterday left a few
things out Of place in it's wake.
In all, fourteen trees were blown
down. two of them falling on au-
tomobiles belonging to teachers of
the Grover Cleveland School at Sth
and T streets. One of the cars
was almost completely wrecked.
but the other escaped with slight
damages. Miss E. NJ. Church of
Cherryday, Va, is the owner of
the badly damaged car and Miss
Susanne Mellicampe owns the one
less damaged. The fire depart
ment answered eight calls for
brush fires in the suburbs and one
for a similar fire near Glen Echo.
None of the fires, however. did
much damage.

LAG IN Fund GRANT
DESPITE DISASTER
Congress Conferees So Far
Fail to O. K. Larger Build
ing Inspection Force.

In spite Of the terrible warning in the
knickerbocker disaster, and in spite of
the recommendations in the grand jury
report on that calamity, the Senate and
House conferees on the District appro-
priation bill are holding back on an
agreement for $9.1o0 for the additional
force in the building inspectors office
necessary to give adequate building in
spection. as proposed by Col. Charles
Keller. Engineer Commissioner for the
District. This amount was put into the
bill by the Senate.
1t has been taken for granted that the
Increased appropriation necessary for
adequate and safe building inspection
would be agreed to without any ques-
ton, especially as Chairman Madden of
the House appropriations committee has
repeatedly and emphatically declared
that this office must have all the in
spectors it needs. 1t develops, however.
that not only has no agreement been
reached but there seems to be reluc-
lance on the part of some Of the con-
ferees to allow this increase.
Chairman Madden's Plan.
Chairman Madden has shown his
sincerity in putting through a def
SAeuCy appropriation OF So.UOU Tor
such building inspection service dur
ing the rest of the present fiscal year.
On the same basis an annual appro-
priation of $4,000 additional to the
amount in the appropriation bill for
1922 would be required.
Col. Keller, however. has worked
out a plan for dividing the city into
five building inspection zones. with a
$2.Q00-a-year inspector in charge OF
each zone. To carry this out he has
asked for four additional inspectors
at $2,00o-he already has one at that
salary-and a clerk at $1.10o. making
a total increase for the next fiscal
year of $9,100.
Request Believed Ample.
The subcommittees on appropria-
tions for the District in both the
House and Senate have been assured
that this will give adequate and safe
building inspection in the District
at an. increase of less than $4,000.
There is every assurance that II such
an item Is reported to the House and
Senate from the conference commit
tee it will pass by practically unani-
nous vote.

RADIO EQUIPMENT TEST.
Experiments With Transmitter for
Telephones Being Made.

Experiments are being conducted at
the Navy's giant radio station, at
Radio. Va, with a large wireless tel
ephone set. 1t has not yet been de-
termined, as a result of the tests.
just what purpose to which the big
set will be used. as naval officials
said today that in view Of the fact
that it was still an experiment and
no policy as to its use had been fixed.
Practically all ships or the navy
have installations of wireless tele-
phones. and experiments are being
made between them and the station
at Radio. 1t is probable that II the
installation is made permanent the
regular naval news service now sent
out nightly by code will be sent over
the radio telephone for the Navy and
other stations which may pick it up.
Local radio telephone fans have
been picking up a number of mes
sages used in these tests by the naval
station.

ACCUSE SEMENOFF
Of WANTON KILLING

Details of what were described as
wanton and unregretted killings of
Russians and Of some Americans in
Siberia by the forces of Gen. Gregorie
Semenoff we're given the Senate labor
committee today at the first session
of an Investigation which Chairman
Borah has asserted is designed to
bring about the deportation from the
United States of the anti-bolsheviki
leader.
Principal witnesses. were Brig. Gen.
w. S. Graves who commanded the A.
E. F., in Siberia, and his chief aide,
Lieut.. Col. Charles H. Morrow.
Unable to Be Present.
Gen. Semenoff was represented at the
hearings by John Kirkland Clark, New
York attorney, who informed the COM
mittee that the general desired to be
present, but "the reception he received
in New York was OF such a nature that
he could not come" MIR. Borah granted
the attorney the eight to question wit
nesses.
Cen Graves gave account of murders
and mistreatment of Russians, with
now and then other natioAalities, includr
ing Americans, thrown in, all OF which
he charged to the direction Of the anti
bolshevik leader. His statement was
broken by questions from Mr.. Clark.
who sought to show that Semenof may
not have been responsible, because of a
claimed allegiance Semenoff had with
Gen. Kolchak.
In a general reply to Mr.. Clark's S
questions, Gen. Graves declared he
did not believe Semenoff had any re-
gard for human life. American. forces
were frequently in trouble with the
Semenof forces, the general said.
After killing of two American SOL
dfers, Gen. Graves, said, he waited for
some report from Semenor respecting

BASE BALL RULES
AS SEASON OPENS
Happy Thousands Turn Out
to See Mats Meet "Ruth-
less" Yankees.

Well. boys. it was "fapper day" at
the ball park.
They were all there, the big fappers
and the little f1appers. the demure
flappers and the fiappers not SO de-
mure. all out to the ole ball park to see
the Nationals and the Yankees line up
for the opening game of the season.
The feminine attendance at the park
today was the dominant feature of the
holiday. from the purely interest point
of view. OF course, when the teams
got lined up. and all that sort Of thing.
the players naturally held the center
of the stage. both literally and figura-
lively, but for hours before the ladies
had everything their own way.
Hundreds of "Shifters."
There were hundreds of "shifters''
out at 7th street and Florida avenue
to see that game. judging from the
amount of shifting about INDUCED in

the right of the grandstand to the

business in deep center as Of old. A
considerable time before the park
opened Officially for the season a
crowd began to gather at the bleacher
gate around on 5th street. The usual
gathering of small boys was to be
noticed there, but even this vantage
ground did not escape the girls.
Several young ladies, easily classified
as "fiappers" by their bright new
shoes. stood in line there. waiting
their turn to get within the sacred
precincts and sit upon tho hard
benches.
Once in the park. the girls tapped
sward at good pace to get an ad-
vantageous seat in the bleachers.
You see, girls can run a great deal
easier this spring than they could
last. If you don't believe it, ask any
flapper.
This One Disappointed.
There was no undue hurry today
to get into the park, such as some-
times characterized the opening day
in the past. Maybe it was the wealth
er, maybe it was the spirit of the
times. but anyway. nobody did much
rushing except some of the fappers.
and everybody took their time. es-
