TOURISTS CAMP
TO Be ABANDONED
Sheriff. Will Institute Other
Park Activities on Site,
He Says.

After December 81 Washington will
be without tourist camp unless the
District government or the trade bod
les of the city provide a site in the
meantime.
Abandonment of this activity was
made known today by Lieut.. Col. c. o.
Sheriff., officer in charge of pub
lie buildings and grounds, who eX-
planned that this action was taken
because he thought that the operation
of tourist camp was not exactly in
line with the outdoor activities oper-
ating under the auspices of his office
in the government parks of the city.
and that If the city is to have such a
site or such place for visiting auto
mobilists the city itself or the trade
bodies should assume the RESPONSE
bility.
Popularity Has Grown.
Col. Sheriff. stated that during the
three years that his office operated the
camp on the banks of the Potomac river
at the west end of East Potomac Park
the activity has grown in popularity and
in every way has been highly satisfac-
tory, and but for the impression that ii
is not correctly related to the other out
door activities in the government parks
he would unquestionably have continued
it. AS an evidence of the growth in the
popularity of this spot, Col. Sheriff.
said that during the first year of it's op-
Grafton a trifle more than 5000 patron
lied the camp, while during the past
year the so-called "tincan tourists
who used the camp, numbered more
than 10000.
Col Sheriff. said the ground whicn
has been used for the camp site will
be made over for other park purposes
Commissioner Rudolph said he knew
Of no property owned by the Dis
trict large enough to be used for tour
list camp, but that he would be glad to
look into the matter.
Will Plead With Weeks
Edward F. Colladay, president Of
the Board of Trade. said today that
he will make a personal attempt to
have the federal government retain
the tourist camp at its present site
in Potomac Park. Mr.. Colladay con-
siders the present location an ideal
one and is of the opinion that 1t has
been we'll managed under the auspices
of the office of public buildings and
grounds. and he will seek an inter-
view with Secretary of War Weeks
some time next week, when he will
make his plea.

BONUS DEFERRED
AS HOUSE TAKES Up
IAX-CUT MEASURE
Ways and Means Committee
Gives Levy Reduction Prec-
edence in Action.
STUDY OF MELLON DRAFT
TO BE BEGUN TOMORROW
Soldier Bill Friends Lose Fight TO
Get Fixed Date for
Hearing.

The House ways and means com
mittee decided today to defer action
on soldiers bonus until after il
has considered administrative fea-
lures Of the Mellon tax program.
Several attempts were made to have
the committee agree to take UP the
bonus, but all such motions were
voted down. The republican mem
bers, with the exception of Frear OF
wisconsin, an insurgent. voted TO
postpone committee action on the
bonus, and two democrats, Garner Of
Texas and Collier of Mississippi. vot-
cd with them
Mr.. Frear offered 4 formal resolu-
rion calling for immediate consider
alton of the bonus bill After his
proposal had been rejected unsuc-
cessful attempts were made by other
bonus proponents to have a definite
date fixed by which time the bonus
measure would be reported to the
House.
Follow Green Suggestion.
In deciding to take up administra-
tive provisions Of the Treasurys tan
revision program the committee fol-
lowed the suggestion of Chairman
Green, who advocated such a policy
after conferences with various re-
publican leaders. The procedure of
the committee after disposing of the
administrative features will be TO
determine whether bonus bill should
be reported TO the House and then
to recommend changes in tax sched-
uleS.
The committee will meet tomorrow
to begin its study of the administra-
tive provisions. but does not expect
to hold sessions during the Christ
mas recess.
The committee also rejected reso-
luton by Representative Tilson, re
publican, Connecticut. providing for
disposition of the entire tax reduC-
tion program before any action would
be taken on the bonus. The lineup
on his motion was the same as on
those TO give the bonus bill priority.
Mr.. Garner, who is ranking mi
nority member of the committee. and
an avowed opponent of the bonus. de-
clared he had voted against giving
the compensation measure priority,
but believed the question of whether
bonus bill IS TO be reported to the
House should have been settled today
by the committee. No vote, however.
was obtained on that proposition.

hut intended to bring about reciproc-
ity in the matter of automobile
licenses.
Senator Mchellar, however. con-
tinued to object to the consideration
OF the bill. and 1t went over.
Before reporting the bill the com
mittee first amended it by striking
out the provision which would have
remitted the personal property tax
on motor vehicles after July /, 1924.
This was in line with the action taken
by the House District committee yes
terday.
The committee informally discussed
the part that Senator McKellar of
Tennessee would offer as an amend
ment to the gasoline-tax bill. his bill
providing for scent street-car fares.
II was the unanimous opinion of the
committee that the street car fare
bill should be considered separately
and on it's merits, and that the gaso-
line tax bill should not be compii-

McKeIIar Reasxured.

Senator Mcclellan, after the COM
tor Ball his street car fare bill and
was assured that the committee
would give it full consideration. Sem
ator Ball pointed out, however, that
members of the committee believe
that the bill should be carefully con-
sidered before being acted upon. He
said that 1t would be referred to
subcommittee on public utilities con-
sisting of Senator Ball, Senator Cap
per, Senator Goodhg, Senator Cope
land and Senator Sheppard.
While the committee was still in
session the course to be adopted
should Senator Mckellar insist upon
offering his street car fare bill as an
amendment to the gasoline tax bill
was considered. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion of both republicans and
democrats that motion should be
made to lay the McKellar amendment
on the table, so as to expedite the
passage of the gasoline tax bill. Sena-
tors who favor the Mcclellan bill as
well as those opposed to it agreed.
The opinion was expressed by one
of the supporters of the Mcclellan
bill that the Tennessee senator was
making a mistake in attempting to
dictate to the committee as to what
District legislation should be passed
and what should not.

TAKES TUBERCULOSIS
FROM DISEASED CATTLE

A test recently concluded by DR.. E.
C. Schroeder of the United States De-

culosis in a child directly to bovine
tuberculosis. The history of the case
is as follows: During the latter part
OF October. 1922. a tuberculin test
was applied to a herd OF IL dairy
cows. The test was made at the own
er's request under the plan conducted
by the State and Federal officials
working co operatively. AS a result
of the test IL OF the IL cows were
classed as reactors, and upon autopsy
all revealed LESSONS of tuberculosis,
two being advanced eases. The vet
erinarian who made the test was in
formed by the owner that his s.
months-old baby girl had recently de-
veloped a swelling in her throat
which was being treated by their fam
lily physician The child had been fed
on the milk of the infected herd for
about z months. and the physician
believed that the enlargement in her
throat was tuberculosis of bovine or
igin. The attending physician soon
afterward decided that an operation
to remove the diseased tissue was
needed. AS result of the operation
the child is recovering.
A part of the diseased tissue was
forwarded to the experiment station
