CABINET
BELIEVED
IN ACCORD
Well Informed Capitol Circles
Look for Relief From
Present Confusion.

In well informed circles at the
Capitol today, the report was per-
sistent that President Harding
and members of his Cabinet had
practically agreed upon a plan to
rescind the present hours in the
Government departments on ac-
count of the confusion in
hundreds of households.
Only Alternative.
While today was the regular meet
ing day of the House District Com
mittee. no meeting was held. How
ever the principal topic of discussion
among the members at the Capitol
was the well-founded report that the
White House feels that the only
way to bring order out of the pres
ent confusion in the working hours
of the city will be to replace the old
schedule of Q to 4:30 in all the Gov
ernment offices so that these hours
will synchronize with those of pri-
vate lines of business as well as the
long established routine in thousands
of homes.
The House District Committee,
which was called upon to initiate
daylight saving Legislation, practl-
cally killed all efforts to enact day
light legislation, with the result, il
was pointed out today, that the city.
wide opposition to such a plan has
created a reaction on the heads of
the departments and consequently il
is understood that the White House
is now disposed to restore the Old
order of hours.
Two-thirds of Washington's popu.
lation is opposed to any form of
daylight saving, according to a
preliminary count of early votes in
the daylight saving referendum
being conducted by Harry M. Gran
dali through his six local theaters.
The count shows two-to-one
vote against any form of daylight
saving. OF those favoring daylight
saving two and one-half to one
voted for a change of the clock,
as opposed to the present "ragtime'
system.
The balloting began at the six
theaters Saturday and up to this
morning there were 1,349 votes
against any form Of daylight saw
ing, SS1 in favor Of a change OF the
clock, and 800 in favor of the
present system.
That the voting indicates the
wishes of residents of all parts OF
the city is assured by the fact that
the theaters are located in widely
remote downtown and residential
sections. The balloting so far has
been heaviest at the Savoy and
York theaters, in the northwest
residential sections. f E
The referendum will continue un-
ell closing time Saturday night.

day--Mrs. Taylor May Be
Renominated.

The names Of the entire Rent Com
mission for the District win be sent
to the Senate in a few days. This
was the information given out today.
following q conference in the White
House between President Harding,
Senator Ball, chairman OF the Sen
ate District Commission and author
of the rent law. and E. #. Colladay,
Republican national committeeman.
. The entire slate was gone over
with the President. II is said, and
the names were satisfactory to all
concerned. -
II is understood Senator Ball had
a good word to say for the present
members Of the commission.
! Capt. w. p. Chapman, secretary Of
the commission, today doomed large
as possibility for the new rent
board. He Is not pushing his can.
didacy. On the contrary. he has
been active In urging the reappoint-
ment of the present board, intact. by
the President. It is understood in
fluential members of Congress and
others close to the President have
recommended Capt. Chapman. He
Is a Republican.
Points In Favor.
Chapman succeeded Daniel C.
Roper, jr., as secretary to the COM
mission. His experience in his pres
ent capacity and his technical train
ing are points in his favor.
Former State Senator Oliver Met
zerott of Prince Georges county,
Nd, is being doomed for a place on
the reorganized commission by the
Maryland delegation in the House OF
Representatives.
II any member of the present cum-
mission of three is retained Il prob.
ably will be Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor.
II the reconstitution Is entire, II is
virtually certain a woman will be
nominated. 1t Is expected also that
at least one Of the members will be
a Democrat, for though the commits
sion has nothing to do with politics
its personnel has always been bi.
partisan.
President Harding, officials nc.
lieve, will send the names to the Sen
ate within q week. No difficulties
In confirmation are looked for.

Capt. w. s. Chapman, secretary
Of the Rent Commission, today was
requested by the Municipal Court
to "slow down" on the possession

to the court. Almost 100 cases
have been sent there since the new
