Judge IIarland Il. Howe of the United

declared that lie would not naturalize
any foreigner who claimed exemption

that he was native of a foreign coun-

To have good credit in your

fame you are a winner in life's
game. and when you've found your
last repose, from II to the stores

drawbacks, too; l have discovered
quite few. Now, all our merchant
princes know | pay up promptly as

stores, they and their clerks arc
simply bores; they want to sell me
all they have, from anvils down to
beeswaN salve. They hate to see
me get away; they want to sell me
bales OF hay, and suits OF clothes
and pairs of shoes, and stovepipe
hats and liquid CLUES. They want
to show cane-seated chairs, stuff
ed crocodiles and picked pears.
They've just received a shipment
fine Of gherkins in imported brine.
They grab my coattails when Id go.
and yank and pull me to and fro,
to show me corn beef in a pail. and

in their haste to show me pots OF

IN DISTRICT AUDIT
Maj. Donovan Expects Task
to Be Completed Within
Nine or Ten Weeks.

Splendid progress is being made by

of the District government for the

tions between the local and federal
governments. according to Mai
Daniel J. Donovan. auditor for the
District.
Maj. Donovan has spent a short
period of each day since the audit
started. three weeks ago, with those
engaged in the work. His presence
on these occasions has been as the
official representative of the District,
and more than once he has been
able to enlighten the auditors be-
cause OF his intimate knowledge of
the various laws bearing on the fiscal
relations of the two governments and
of the many appropriation laws
passed between 1911 and the present,
which is the period being audited.
AT the rate the task Is being met
Maj. Donovan expects the audit to
be completed within nine or ten
weeks. Then Immediately will fol-
low chec5ng-up of the audit made
OF the books from 1878 to 1911 This
will take little time, Mai Donovan
stated, and. according to his opinion,
the complete report Of the account
ants should be in the hands of SEN
ator Phipps. joint committee chair
man, by the middle of November. He
explained that thus far nothing out
OF the ordinary has developed in the
audit work.

ALLEY JEWELLERS
ALLOWED RESPITE
Time for Vacating Homes Is
nded-14,000 District
Residents Affected.

The time in which the alley dwell
ers of Washington may continue to
occupy their homes Is extended under
the terms of a bill passed by the
Senate late yesterday until June l.,
1928.
Under existing law the alley dwell
ers would have had to vacate by
November IA next. 1t has been esti-
mated that upwards of $4,000 now
live in alley dwellings. The District
Commissioners have strongly urged
the time for vacating the alleys be
postponed until some further arrange
ments can be made for caring for
these people, who would be made
homeless on November IA. Every
effort will be made to obtain action
by the House on the bill passed by
the Senate before the present session
of Congress adjourns.
The alley bill was called up in the
Senate by Senator Jones of Washing
ton, a member of the District COM
mittee. He said:
"A short time before the war we
passed legislation excluding the use
of buildings in alleys in Washington
as dwelling houses. 1t was not to
take effect. however. for a certain
time. The war came on. and from
time to time conditions have required
the eAteHsioH ol tHe tiTne OF gong
into effect of that act. 1t will go in
to effect either in October or Nov
amber of this year. and conditions are
such that 1t seems desirable to give
a little further extension of time The
committee on the District of Colum-
bia has reported a bill extending the
time until June, 1923. The chairman
of the committee, the Senator from
Delaware (Mr. BalD. asked me to try
to get the bill through as soon as
possible. because it is very desirable
that action should be taken by the
House before the present law goes
into effect. So ask unanimous con-
sent for the present consideration of
the BILL
The Senate without dissenting
vote then passed the bill.
