Three hundred and seventy-seven

cause of the shortage of cell hunks.
Maj. Peake. in charge Of the jail,

Chancellor Authorized to Dis
solve Body Unless 1t Gives
Approval to Bill.
NATIONALISTS WALK OUT
BEFORE VOTE is TAKEN
Move Defeats Chance of Action Be.
fore Saturday-Stinnes
Denies Plots.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October 1.-THE reichs-
tag this afternoon voted the hrst
paragraph of the governments au-
thorization bill by 253 to 81.
The second paragraph also was
voted, but when the bill as whole
came up for a final vote the entire
nationalist party left the reichstag
chamber.
This left the body without quo
rum and the reichstag adjourned un-
til Saturday, when a final vote on the
bill is expected.
The authorizat tion bill as approved
by the council of the reich and pre-
sented to the reichstaG early this
week provides:
The government of the reich Is
authorized to take, in financial, eco-
nomic and social spheres, the meas
ures which it deems necessary and
urgent, regardless of the rights spec
ified in the constitution OF the reich.
Cannot Affect Labor.
The authorization does not extend
to the regulations governing the
hours Of labor or to decreases in pen
sions and allowances.
1t is provided that the bill shall
become law upon its PRONUNCIATION
and expire with the present cabinet,
or at the latest, in any event. by
March 81, 1924.
President Ebert this afternoon in
vested Chancellor Stresemann with
authority to dissolve the reichstag in
the event the governments authoriza-
tion bill fails to command the neces-
sary two o-thirds majority in that body
The chancellor Immediately in
formed the coalition party leaders OF
the alternative confronting the gov
ernment parties. The socialists there
upon called a caucus with the idea OF
uniting the party in support OF the
authorization law.
Minority Threatens.
A minority detection In the ranks
OF the socialists was the threat which
hung over the measure, giving rise to
fears that it would be defeated when
it came up for final vote, which was
expected before pm. When the So
cialists went into caucus the majority
members begapa course of persua-
sion upon the minority element
which threatened to abstain from
voting. Such an act, 1t is figured
would prevent the governments OBJ
tanning the two-thirds majority re-
quired.

LAUNCH SCHOOL
PROGRAM TONIGHT
Actual Development of s.
Year Building Plan to Open
at Conference.

Actual development of the proposed
fiye-year school building program will
be started at a special conference of
the board of education and school and
District government officials tonight
at the Franklin School, administra-
ton headquarters of the school sys-
tenn. The program will be submitted
to the bureau of the budget upon its
completion.
The feasibility of drafting such a
program has been under considera-
ton for several months, and District
government authorities have aided the
school officials in collecting mass
of statistics Indicating the probable
growth of various sections Of the city
in future years and where additional
building accommodations will be
needed. All Of this information will
be given to the school board tonight
by Engineer Commissioner j. Frank
lin Bell and Assistant Engineer Com
missioner John Wood.
VIII Abolish Portables.
The contemplated program, 1t is
understood, will provide for the abo-
llt1On Ol Tie uhaCSiiooi PcA 80 SA>S
and rented structures adopted as an
emergency relief for the overcrowded
schools and the purchase OF available
school sites.
1t is the belief of Engineer Commis-
sioner Bell and Supt. of Schools Bal
lou that the sites now available for
future school buildings will have to
be acquired before the rapid develop
ment of certain sections of the city
makes such a procedure impossible.
Such a foresighted policy of purchas-
ing property for school sites, in the
opinion of these officials, will result
in great economy and obviate pos
sible condemnation proceedings in
later years.
Formulated by BalIou.
A building program similar to the
one to be drafted tonight was formu-
lated by DIR. Ballou soon after he be-
came superintendent, on July 1. 1920.
The first program called for the ex-
penditure Of 100000 annually for a
period of five years, exclusively for
new buildings and sites, and it has
been carried out to a certain extent.
The entire membership of the school
board is expected at the conference
tonight, in addition to Supt. Ballou
and other school officials who will as
sist in the development of the new
program.

though they believed the attempt
staged by Maj. Buchrucker at

u. s. ENJO|NS HILL
IN HOME WINE CASE
Representative Gets Five
Days to Meet Charge of
Dry. Act Violation.

BALTIMORE. Md, october 11.-At
the request of United States District
Attorney Woodcock. Judge Soper in
the United States district court. to-
day signed a temporary injunction
restraining Representative John
Philip Hill from continuing to manu-
facture Intoxicating fruit juices al
his home, 3 Franklin street.
The injunction comes under section
% of the national prohibition act
which says any place in which liquor
has been manufactured may be closed
Representative Hill may move to dis
solve this injunction on five days
notice. or he may appear and answer
the bill within twenty days of being
served with subpoena. -@. .
Gives Two Reasons.
District Attorney woodcock issued
statement in which he said: 1.-The
ual for two reasons: First, the high
position he occupies, and second, he
freely admits the fact, as the govern.
ment contends, that he is violating the
law. The first reason entities him
to no consideration beyond that given
any other person. The second reason
inclines one to believe he may be
seeking sincerely a judicial determi.
nation Of the question whether what
he has done is a violation Of the law
rather than that he is deliberately
breaking the law in a hope that he
will emerge from the prosecution a
hero or a martyr.
"It was my intention originally to
lay this case before the grand jury.
More mature consideration has con-
vinced me the facts are substantially
admitted and the question primarily
is one of law. 1t would be more
proper to lay before the Judge whose
province it is to determine the Ques-
tions of fact. 1 therefore asked for
% of the national prohibition act
This will allow Hill his day in court
and a full opportunity to present his
case.
Criminal Action Open.
This is the first instance in which
have asked for an Injunction until
after conviction by a jury, except
sent as a part of the compromise in
a case. To that extent Representative
Hill is getting special consideration
I think. however, it is justified, for
the second reason stated above. II
my belief should prove to be wrong
and he has deliberately violated the
laws of tire land, regardless Of the
motive involved, the injunction would
not necessarily prevent criminal
prosecution in the future.
"If the government views prevail
with the court no doubt a permanent
injunction will be issued closing the
premises. The court may allow the
defendant to reopen them on giving
bond that no violation of the ma
tional prohibition law be permitted"

WORLDS ATTENTION ISI CENTRED UPON N E WI
 SOVIET CHURCH. TRIAL
Greek Catholic PreIate To Face Court At
 Moscow

MOSCOW. April 4.-With one high churchman executed after he had been convicted of treason against the communist government of Rus sia. great interest is now displayed In the forthcoming trial of Patriarch Tikhon. head of the Greek Orthodox Catholic church in Russia.
 Tikhon is to be tried next week before the Russian supreme court on charges of resisting the attempts of the Russian government to seize property belonging to the church.
 Even If convicted. however, it is not believed that sentence of death will be passed upon him as in the case of Constantine Budkevich. vicar general of the Roman Catholic church in Russia. who was put to death recently. It is.pointed out that Bud kevich was convicted of treason while the charges against Tikhon are not near so serious. Several years In prison will be the maximum pun ishment for the patriarch If he is found guilty it is believed.
 Tikhon has more followers in Rus- sia than any of the other prelates who have been brought to trial. Rus. sia. during the reign of the czars. was overwhelmingly Greek Catholic and the church was subsidized by the government.
 Other religions, before the revolu- tions were barred from Russia. short. ly after the communists took over the government. the announcement was made that representatives of any religion would be welcome in Russia. It was at this time that an arrange ment was made between the govern ment and the vatican which permit ted the Jesuits to abide in Russia after they had been barred for 300 years.
 The government. in ordering the confiscation of church property, took the action to provide funds for fam inc ralieF
