PLANS SEM|-PUbL|C
WARDMAN THEATER
Thomas Bones Asks Zoning
Body to Change Area A.
fecting Lot at Hotel.

Plans for a semi-private theater at
the Wardman Park Hotel were re-
vealed by Thomas Bones, represent
ing Harry wardman. before the zon-
ing commission at the District build
ing today.
Mr.. Bones asked that a lot ad-
joining the present commercial area
on Calvert street and including a
part of Wardman Park Hotel be
changed from residential to CONNER
cial. He explained that the change
was being sought in connection with
plans for a semi-public theater that
would have its entrance from the
hotel.
The commission also heard argu-
ments on the proposal to bar apart
ment houses from five detached home
sections of the city.
Home Owners Heard.
There was a lively discussion on
over request to change both sides
of NJ street between North Capitol
and LIST streets northwest from COM
merical TO residential.
A large delegation of homeowners
in the block applied for the change,
stating they did not know until re-
Gently that their block was in a
commercial zone.
The owner of one Of the few re-
naming vacant lots in the square ap-
peared In opposition to making 1t
residential, contending that the resi-
dents there had the same notice given
all other Washingtonians before the
original coming was made.
Advocates of residential coming ar
gued that the proximity of Slbley
Hospital should be considered by the
commission. The opponents cited the
existence of a laundry between NJ and
Pierce streets.
Residents of Macomb street east
or Connecticut avenue appeared to re-
quest that certain property near the
northeast corner of Connecticut ave-
nue. and Macomb street be changed
from G to A area and made residen-
tial
Maj. J. Franklin Bell. Engineer
Commissioner of the District was
unanimously elected chairman OF the
coming commission at an executive

DRINK AND DIE

The following by Z. S. Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes should be dis
played in boxcar letters where every
American could read it as he runs:
"The laboratories of the prohibition
unit have analyzed approximately
$4,000 samples Of bootleg whisky
during the past II months. Less than
one per cent were uncontaminated-
most of them by dangerous or poison
Gus ingredients. Recent figures from
Ohio show that only one sample of
liquor in 300 is genuine. One man
in 300 of the bootleggers' customers
get real whisky; the other 299 drink
poison. The toll of life that bootleg
liquor is taking throughout the coun-
try cannot be measured. In Chicago,
for instance, the coroner's records
show 100 deaths between Jan. 1 and
June 1, 1923, to have been from
drinking poisonous compounds:
"But spectacular cases of death
constitute only a small fraction of
the total. Much more numerous are
deaths hastened by or resulting from
diseases brought on by bootleg
liquor. Col. Citizen.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-09-07
MUST RELY ON ITSELF

The brazenness with which employ
ers rush into courts and secure in
functions in all disputes with their
employees adds weight to the state
ment that the courts are the last
refuge Of the enemies of the workers.
When, by some chance, state passes
a law limiting the use of injunctions,
the federal courts offer unfailing re-
lief. When the Clayton act was
passed by congress, it was felt a curb
had at least been put on the federal
courts. Not so. The courts declared
all the essential points of the Clayton
law unconstitutional.
Labor has long relied on Friends" !"
1t must row rely on itself. The prob
lem confronting the workers is not a
local one. 1t is a problem confined
neither to a single state or locality.
1t is a national problem and must be
met in a national way.

Governor PinChOt
Favors Free Speech
(By Federated Press)

Harrisburg, Pa.-"You can count
on me in the fight for free speech in
western Pennsylvania" Gov. Pinchot
told Robert w. Dunn, acting director
American Civil Liberties union, and
Jay Lovestone, Workers party, when
Dunn and Lovestone called on the
governor to request him to end the
rule of terror by which the mine work
ers have been prevented from holding
meetings.
"I believe in the right of free
speech, which is guaranteed by the
state constitution, as much as you
do" he added.
In response to a specific request re-
garding meetings scheduled for Sept.
in Pittsburgh and McKeesport, to
test the right of radical workers to
meet unmolested, Governor Pinchot
told his callers that he would see that
there was no interference by the state
constabulary, and that he would write
to Mayor Lyle of McKeesport calling
his attention to the fact that the con-
stitution of Pennsylvania legalizes
free speech.

TO PENALIZE THE CARELESS
Wisconsin Industrial Commission
Would Have Reckless Pay for
Damage Caused by Fires.

The justice of penalizing individual
carelessness, when it results In fire
damage to the property of others, Is
effectively argued In the following
brief bulletin issued by the industrial
commission Of Wisconsin:
A crook robs a national bank of S5,-
100000. The entire police powers of
the state and nation are put to work
to apprehend him.
A man deliberately sets fire to a
grain elevator In which $1,OOOOOO
worth Of grain is stored. Some fire
marshaps deputy, alone and unaided,
investigates this fire In the hope of
discovering sufficient evidence to
bring the guilty man to trial, perhaps
before jury prejudieed against cir
cumstantial evidence.
A mans sheer carelessness causes
fire which destroys $1,OOO,OOO worth
Of his neighbor's property. Nothing
Is done to punish this man; actually
certain amount Of misplaced SYM
pathy is wasted on him because Of his
own loss.
Why this widely different public at
titude in these three cases? asks
Safeguarding America Against Fire.
The robber can be trusted to put
the stolen money into circulation and,
from the economic standpoint, the
country as whole will have lost
nothing.
In the other two cases $1,OOO,OOO
worth Of wealth Is destroyed and the
country Is Just that much poorer. The
people, not insurance companies, will
pay for this loss In larger insurance
premiums and higher costs of every
thing. If the fire marshaps deputy Is
fortunate enough to prove guilt be
yond a reasonable doubt" the man is
punished; but nothing is done to the
man in the third case; although the
effect in the last two cases on the
community and country is the same.
1t is right that the robber and the
incendiary should be punished; 1t Is
wrong that the man whose absolute
carelessness has caused like injury
should go unpunished. Under the
Code Napoleon such a man must re-
imburse his neighbors for their loss
and he insures for such contingency.

Rural Education
In Poor Shape

Washington - Inadequate educa-
tioal facilities in rural sections of the
country are endangering the educa-
tional work involving 100000 chill
dren, according to the Bureau OF Edu-
cation, Interior Department.
Of the 100000 rural teachers of the
U. S. fewer than per cent are normal
school graduates, fully one-third or
more have had no professional pre-
paration whatever; SO per cent, or
100000, have not completed high
school, and 10 per cent, or 10000,
have finished only the elementary
grades of the common school course.
Due to inadequate salaries, which
run commonly from 1925 to 5000 a
year-less than the average annual
income for unskilled labor-more
than one-fourth, or about 10000, leave
the ranks annually to have their
places filled by wholly inexperienced
beginners.
Pennsylvania is reported to be one
of the most delinquent of the states
in the matter of rural education.
