RUSSELL EXPLAINS.
Declares He Was Engaged to Write
Eleven Articles for 81 500.

The letter referred to as having pre-
cipitated the disclosure of possible ir-
regularities in the activities of cham
pions of Filipino independence in this
city was written by Charles Edward
Russell in reply to one he had re-
ceived from the auditing department of
the insular government in Manila.
Mr. Russell, socialist and a well
known author and magazine writer
living at POLL ! street northwest. ex-
planned his connections with the
Philippine independence Bureau. He
said that while he was in San Fran
cisco attending the democratic ma
tional convention, he was approached
by several members of that commits

The commissioners, Mr.. Russell as
serted. suggested that he should visit
the islands and write a series OF
eleven articles on his impre ssions. 1t

that he would not be bound to write

Mr. Russell said his salary was to be
$1,500 for the eleven articles and his
expenses. the latter of which ran be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
A Philippine press bureau is main

of offices in the Munsey building. At

costing about $4,000 a month. OF that

STREET BOOK SALES

The regulation by which the Dis

1922, attempted to stop the sale on
the public streets of books, pamphlets,
programs, tags and the like was'de-
clared invalid today by the District
Court of Appeals in an opinion by
Judge James F. Smith of the United
States Court of Customs Appeals.
The appellate court reversed the
decision of the Police Court, which
had convicted Francis S. Crane of
violating the regulation by selling
his book called "Hostorical Guide to
Washington" and had fined him $40.
Chief Justice Smyth Dissented.
The appellate court holds the regu-
lation is beyond the scope of author

The court finds that prior
to January, 1887. there was no statute
or ordinance which denied to street
vendors the use of the streets: that
the act of January 26, 1887, authorized
the Commissioners to locate and
regulate conduct of licensed vendors.

ELECT NEW BISHOP
OF D. c. ON MAY 81
Episcopal Committee Fixes
Date to Name Harding's
Successor.

May 81. at 10 o'clock am, at the
Church of the Ascension, 18th and
Massachusetts avenue, was selected
as the day and place for the conven-
tion Of the diocese to elect bishop
of the Diocese of Washington, by the
standing committee at a meeting this
afternoon at the Church of the
Epiphany.
The standing committee. with the
Rev. George F. Dudley presiding, went
into executive session at noon. DIR.
Dudley declared, following the meet
ing, that there is no chance of the
convention electing bishop suffra-
such step would be contrary to the
law of the church, which expressly
states that suffragan can be elected
only upon the consent or request of
the bishop of the diocese.
Since there is no bishop of the
diocese of Washington at this time.
and there will not be one until he is
elected May 81. it is manifestly i'm
possibly. DR.. Dudley pointed out, that
bishop suffragan be chosen.
Those Not Eligible.
DR. Dudley also stated that of the
out-of-town bishops who have been
mentioned as possible selections for
IL,
Bishop Howden, n missionary bishop
of New Mexico. would be eligible for
election. The chairman of the stanNr
ing committee stated that the laws
of the church make it impossible that
any of the following bishops be elect
ed: Bishops Gailor. Manning, Rhine
lander, Brent and Lloyd.
These last named churchmen are
already elected as diocesan bishops
and no one but a bishop suffragan or
missionary bishop who has been
five years in his jurisdiction would
be eligible as bishop of Washington,
DR.. Dudley said.
The other members of the standing
committee who met today are the
Rev. ]. w. Clark and the Rev. Her
bert Scott Smith, and w. c. Rives, H
NJ. Bowen and ]. H. Gordon.
All clergymen of the Washington
Episcopal diocese with the lay dele
gates will be entitled to vote for the
election of the bishop on May 81. The
two orders vote by ballot, separately,
in open convention. The candidate
receiving a majority of the vote of
the clergy and majority of the vote
of the laity shall be elected, provided
that at least two-thirds of all the
clergy entitled to seats and at least
two thirds of all the laymen entitled
to seats are present.

Osteopothy Practice in D. C.:
Upheld by Appellate Court

sisting Of rubber nodule held in
place in the palm of the hand by
means of a leather strap. The nodule

The court finds that the. plaintiff
was pursuing treatment common
among osteopaths. and in using the
nodule on the foot he was merely
pfacticing osteopathy.a land not podia-
try II he was practicing podiatry
he was exempt from prosecution, the
court points out. because he came
within the other exception of the law
of more than one year
before the passage Of the act.
Interpretation of the Act.
The act is not intended, the court
decides, to interfere with the general
practice of any recognized branch of
medical science; nor that a general
practitioner shall be limited in the
treatment Of his patients to all parts
of the body except the foot. Plain
tiff was practicing his profession
within lawful limits and was guilty
of no infringement of the law. the

Ne,u French Hint, y. S. Cancel
Debt, Received Coldly Here

law agreeing to the terms of the
arrangement.
Unless there is a decided change in
the policy hitherto followed, it was
posal that the United States agree to
cancellation, or at least to look to
another nation for the collection of
money owed by the allied nations,
will receive a cold reception here.
The law creating the World War
Foreign Debt Funding Commission
contains the following provisions:
That this act shall not be construed
to authorize the exchange of bonds
or other obligations of any foreign
government for those of any other
foreign government. or cancellation
of any part OF such Indebtedness ex-
cept through payment thereof
Makes Change Impossible.
This language makes it impossible,
it is said, for the commission, or any
other agency Of the government to
agree to such a proposal as now ad-
vanced. Only by congressional ac-
ton could the law be changed, and
Congress is not to meet until next
December, unless called in special
session by the President earlier.
1t was pointed out today, however,
that in the settlement of the British
debt, the provisions Of the original
act creating the debt-funding COM
mission, were departed from in the
matter of time and rate Of interest
to be changed. The administration,
it was said, had gone ahead and ne
gotiated the settlement, acting
through the debt-funding commits
sion, and then had gone 10 Congress
and had it ratified. If the admin
iSfr
might go ahead with negotiations
now looking to settlement through
cancellation, or the substitution of
German obligations for French, etc,
and then make it's appeal to Congress.
But such possibility was considered
slim, indeed.
That there is some sentiment in ia
tvor of cancellation of the foreign
debts in the United States is admit
ted; In fact, there has been not a
Tart of some members of Congress
and other public men. William Jen-
nings Bryan Is among those who have
advocated the proposal The charge
mas Misb oesn dahtn made de that banking interests
from Europe have looked with favor
on the proposed cancellation plan.
Possibly there will be recruoesence
now OF the demand that the United
atateS heip In wipfng the interna-
tfonal slate clear Of debts
This latest suggestion put forward
by the French would enlist Germany
in the effort to bring about a change
in the policy of the United States
provided, of course, that Germany
looks with favor on the plan.
The sums owed the United States by
the foreign nations on account of the
war total more than $40, 600, ,00O, 900
in interest and principal. In round
numbers, the debts of France to this
country are $4,000. 100000; of Great
Britain, $4,70O.000,0O Italy, $780,
100000; Belgium, $3.50, 200. 900. The
United States made no claim for repa-
rations against Germany under the
treaty Of peace.

The Peking government itself is ad-
mittedly weak in the enforcement of
law and order in certain of the
provinces, particularly Shantung and
Human.
In the negotiations in the Coltman
case Secretary Hughes expressed his
firm conviction that the Chinese au-
thorities must establish beyond ques-
tion their authority over all their
provinces.
An order by President Harding
would. in the opinion of State and
War Department officials be sufficient
to start the American troops in China
in pursuit of the bandits to secure
the release of the American captives.
Naturally, however, the Washington
government first would ascertain
more definitely the ability of Peking
to effectively deal with the situation.
