DAYTON. o.. Feb. 3.-Discovery
of a tellurium gasoline compound.
which increases automobile mileage
100 per cent over present gasoline
fuel, was announced at the research
laboratories of the General Motors
Company here today.
The discovery was made some
months ago by Thomas Midgely and
Thomas A. Boyd. chemists.
The annual supply of tellurium.
which has been regarded as waste
matter at lead and copper refiner-
les, Is about sixty tons, according to
the Chemical Society of America,
which recently made a survey. 1t
was estimated IL would require 1900
tons to treat the annual consump-
ton Of gasoline. Boyd, however,
said he believed this difficulty could
be overcome.

COMMISSIONERS
little Interest Shown at House
Hearing on District
Appropriations. .r

The House today continued its dis
cussion of the District appropria-
ton bill and a vote may be taken
: late this afternoon.
Members are showing interest in
the bill to cover expenses OF the
local government. During the dis.
cussion yesterday not more than
thirty-five or forty Congressman &C.
coupled seats on the floor. {.
The District Government was
charged with incompetency and ex.
travagance by Congressman Charles
10. Davis, chairman of the sub
committee which framed the Dis
. trict appropriation bill. This crit
icism came when Congressman r.
w. Moore Of Virginia, declared he
thought IT. unfortunate that the
local estimates were slashed.
Moore lamented the indifference
OF members toward the needs of the
District and observed there were
not more than forty Congressman
were present.
The Knickerbocker Theater disas-
ter was mentioned several times dur
ing debate yesterday. Congressman
Davis, however, declined 10 engage,
in a controversy regarding it, declar.
ing II was up to someone else to
place the responsibility.
When the section relating to the
personnel Of the Building Inspectors
office came up, Chairman Davis de-
clared the present force was ample
for the needs Of the District.
The House agreed to the salary
provisions for this office exactly as
recommended by the appropriations
committee.
, The 60-40 taxation plan was
again approved by the House yes

FOR CHANGE As
FARLEY RESULT
French, British, Japanese and
italian Ambassadors Slated
for Shake-up.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,

A severe shake-up in Washington's
Diplomatic Corps Is expected In the
wake of the armament conference.
Unless the ea-table strategists are
all wrong in their surmises-and
they seldom are-some of the most
familiar figures in the Capitals for.
eign colony are due to be relieved
when the conference melts away.
They will either be assigned to other
posts, put on home duty, or retired.
1t Is not improbable some OF them
will be found in Genoa when the
powers meet there on March 8 to
settle those world problems which
Paris and Washington failed to set
tie.
All the ENJOYS Of the so-called
big Four"-Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan-are due for early
relief from their American assign
ments, according to expectations
that prevail in diplomatic quarters.
Jusserand to BE Retired.
Jules j. Jusserand, the ambassa-
dor from France, who is dean Of the
corps, Is to be retired. according to
Ever since the war end>d
NJ. Jusserand has been the target Of
criticism in his own country. Some
of his opponents have laid the blame
at his door for the loss Of French
prestige in America. He is also
blamed for failure to put the French
position in the Armament Confer
ence Tin a better light" He is ad-
vanced in years, and there Is de-
mand for younger blood.
II NJ. Jusserand is retired II will
leave the Spanish ambassador, Senior
de Riano, as the dean of the Wash
ington corps. And II anything should
happen to him Washington would be
in a terrible predicament, for that
would leave the deanship with NJ,
the Russian ambassa'
dor, who hasn't had a government to
for more than four years
now, but who still is the accredited
Russian envoy, in spite of that fact.
Geddes Expected to Go.
Reports recently were printed in
London that Sir Auckland Geddes
the British ambassador, was to be
but these were subse'
quently denied. The impression pre-
walls, however, that Sir Auckland's
tenure of the American office Is soon
to expire. He has made a notable
record in Washington, according to
observers, and 1t was due
in no small measure to his efforts
that Great Britain emerged from the
conference without having
met defeat in a single issue.
