OFFICIALS WOULD
BANISH THE TWO-DOLLAR BILL

The evil omen OF the superstitious
and the chief temptation of the bill
"raiser"-the two dollar bill-appears
about to pass into oblivion.
Its discontinuance as a paper cur
rency denomination will be proposed
by a special committee of Treasury
officials. along with a revision of the
designs of all paper money, in recon-
Secretary Mellon. The purpose of the
proposed revision was said to be to
standardize the design of all paper
money of the same denominations, so
that the only difference appearing on
the face of the United States and
federal reserve notes. gold certificates
and other legal tender will be the
designation of it's source.
1t is the protective purpose of the
revision and not the "ill-omen" repu-
tation Of the two-dollar bill that die
tates the proposal that it be done
away with. The Treasury secret
service has observed that the bill is
decidedly one of the most popular
among the bill "raisers," several hun
dred of whom annually are sent to
said, would effect an economy in
paper money printing.
An average of several hundred per-
sons go to prison annually for having
"raised" the denomination of United
States currency. If the new designs,
none of which have been disclosed
yet, are accepted, Treasury officials

that it would be. They assert their
been tampered with since the ships in
question entered commission. They
represent. moreover-and this Is
something that has hitherto not
crept into public discussion of the
squabble-that categorical statements
to that effect were given to the
American naval attache in London
many months ago.
Great Britain claims the assurance
was handed our attache in writing
at his request and that the informa-
tion was supplied long before Con-
gress was asked to appropriate So
100000 in order to meet changes
made in British dreadnaughts. Presi-
dent Harding is extremely unlikely
to do anything that would remotely
jeopardize the safety of the naval
treaty If Secretary Hughes during
the past few weeks has come to the
conclusion that we cannot go ahead
with the Navy Departments plans
without "scrapping" the treaty. re-
lection of the plans at President
Harding's hands may be considered
almost a foregone conclusion.
Shipping Tnngles.
There are two other pending diplo-
matte incidents with Great Britain
in which presidential intervention
sooner or later may be necessary. One
is the Newcastle consulate imbroglio,
which continues to hang fire. and the
other is the British contention that
we have no right to impose restric-
tions on ships that have passed out
of American ownership into British
jurisdiction. 1t may be that the Presi
dent will have to "arbitrate" between
the attitude of the Department of
Justice and the Shipping Board. on
the one hand and the State Depart
ment. on the other. Certain diplo-
matte precedentS are understood to
incline the State Department toward
the British point of view, while the
Jusice Department, Shipping Board
and prohibition folks believe our
rights in the premises as against
would-be liquor smugglers are un-
questionable. 1t is a pretty tangle.
In the realm of domestic affairs
President Harding is confronted by
the ghost he thought he had banished
farmer" for the Federal Reserve
Board. That appointee. Milo y. Camp
bell, having died. the White House is
up against the same old patronage
snarl it had such difficulty in unrav-
cling.
The President will not be allowed
by the La Folletteites to have any un-
necessary rest on the sugar question.
The investigation Mr.. Harding order
ed the Tariff Commission to make
into the economics of the sugar-price
question is in progress, as is the De-
partment of Justices inquiry into
market manipulation and artificial
control of supply.
Altogether the squire of the White
House will have need of the giants
strength he has accumulated in the
everglades and on the golf links of
Florida.

BLADENSBURG BUS
MEETS APPROVAL
Trolley Company May Be Civ
en- Permission to Abandon
Electric Line Next Week.

The application of the Washington
mission to take up It's tracks on
Bladensburg road and establish motor
bus service probably will be granted
by the Public Utilities Commission
next week, it was indicated today.
1t is believed likely. in granting
the request, the Commissioners will
provide for a free transfer between
the busses and the Columbia line Of
| the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. which controls the Bladens-
burg line.
Just how long the free transfer
privilege will be fixed for Is not
known definitely. but indications are
thaf the Commission will ask the
company to grant such transfer for
several years.
Owes District $4,000.
In it's application for the change
the company expressed a Willingness
to give the free transfers for an ex-
perimental peeriod of three months
only.
At the hearing on the application
Maj. Daniel J. Donovan auditor of
the District, called the attention of
the Public Utilities Commission that
the interurban company owed the
District government approximately
$4,000 for track paving and remov-
ing poles. and that If the tracks were
taken up 1t would remove the prop
erty on which the District based its
certificate of Indebtedness.
Feared Bankruptcy.
1t is believed likely that the COM
pany will make some arrangements to
wipe out this Indebtedness with the
District government If 1t Is allowed
! to take up the tracks
William F.. Ham, president Of the
Washington 1nterurban, made the ap-
plication TO change to motor bus serv-
ice because he said the company could
not possibly meet the $I50.000 ex-
penditure which it would have to
make for paving it's track space in
connection with the Improvement of
Bladensburg road. He told the COM
mission. at the hearing. that such an
outlay at this time would practically

Name Of Descendant of Anthony

Attention Of The Star has been called

descendants of Anthony Holmead was
omitted in history of the Holmead
family recently published in The Star
in connection with the expected razing
of the old Homead mansion, at 22nd
and 8 streets. The name omitted was
that of Sarah Holmead Speake, one of
the four children mentioned in the will
of Anthony Holmead, which was pro-
bated in 1903.
The will Of Susanna Holmead. wife Of
Anthony Holmead, also mentions the
name of Sarah Speake as the wife of
Josias NJ. Speake, a naval officer, and
her son, Rufus H. Speake, father of
A. Howard Speake of New York. Rufus
H. Speake was a prominent Washington
physician. He died here in 1867.

ny FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

President Harding will return to the
White House next week to find an
accumulation of urgent business, do
mestic and foreign, calling for a
variety Of fateful decisions. The
question bound to give him the great
est concern affects his personal politi-
cal fortunes Whether to take up the
challenge offered by republican irrec-
oncilables on the issue of the world
court, or to disavow the project in
the face of threatened party rupture.
is the principal problem facing Mr.
Harding. The drive to make him
recant on the world court is on in
full fury. The President Will have to
make up his mind whether TO cross
the Rubicon or not. 1t probaoly Is
not going too far to say that MI;
Hardings political future is wrapped
UP with the decision he comes to. Ihe
air is thick with irresponsible prog
nosticationS.
Men say the President will stand
by his guns-by his recommendation
of the World Court TO the Ser lie
February "a. Others aver his passion
for party unity will prevail and that
he is prepared to let the court scheme
be talked out of existence.
Late advices from Augusta, on the
eve OF Mr.. Harding's homebound
Journey. strongly suggest the Presi-
dent has not yet definitely decided
upon a swing around the circle or
even upon the Alaska trip. He is
said to see some soundness in the
criticism that. having been launched
into the denomination arena by Mr..
Daugherty, tour originally planned
for vocational purposes and nom
partisan discussion of public ques-
tions would now assume the char
acter of an electioneering trip. That
is perhaps the second most important
decision President Harding will have
to reach.
British Controversies.
Coincident with the deep thought
the President will give to matters of
personal policy, he requires to plunge
forthwith into the delicate issues
raised by our controversy with Great
Britain over gun ranges on dread
naughts 1t will be virtually for Mr..
Harding to determine whether the
United States now shall go ahead with

to drop the scheme on the ground it is

ment. where they may continue north
to the city or bear left and circle the

A special detail of United States

'Swat the Fly Campaign Opened
For Season by Health Officer

ords. flies in this climate Will pro-
duce new generation every ten
days. which makes twelve genera
tions possible in the course of the
summer.
Allowing 2.SS0 flies to an ounce. the
total product of a single fly in forty
days would equal $40 pounds.
These facts, Or. Fowler believes.
will convince all who read them Of
the advantage gained by swatting
now instead of two months hence.
Potential Disease Carriers.
Although the house fly is not the
nuisance he used to be before the ad-
vent of the automobile, when stables.
with their fy-breeding manure pits.
were scattered throughout the city,
the pests continue to appear by the
millions every summer.
That the house fly is one of the most
potential disease carriers existing
during the warm season has long
been an established fact, the health
department states.
Therefore, it behooves every family
to enlist in the army of swatters for
the duration of the war" which
