Must Keep OFF Streets During
Shrine Session-Get Space
South OF Treasury.

Washington streets will be kept
clear of vendors and novelty sell
ers, especially in the congested
downtown section, during the
Shrine session next month, ac-
cording to plans completed today.
Hawkers To Be Barred.
There will DO no hawking of
souvenirs and novelties of any kind
along the Road to Mecca or in the
Garden of Allah. No stands will be
erected for sales of any kind in
this area.
Every effort will be made by the
police to prevent annoyance OF
this sort to the visitors, as has
been the case in previous affairs OF
the kind.
All legitimate peddlersA and con-
cession holders will be kept to-
gether in q reservation to be set
aside for that purpose on Fifteenth
street northwest, from the Treasury
Department south behind Polls
Theater and along the park.
Within this area will be erected
all the stands which may be neces.
"
Wisdom .. Brown chairman OF
the concessions committee. Visit
ing Shrine bands will play in the
grounds during the day to attract
visitors. Motion picture per-
formances are being arranged by
the Navy Department as an at
traction.
Business Men Approve.
This plan of keeping this sort
of activity off the business streets
has the approval of Washington
business men. The Merchants and
Manufacturers Association today
announced that 1t would fight the
practice of permitting street vend-
ing of any kind during tha, Shrine
session and future conventions. 1t
unanimously disapproves licensing
travelling carnivals.
All Washington business houses
with membership in the association
will be closed on the morning OF
Tuesday, June 5, to permit en-
ployes to witness the big Shrine
parade, WHICH will officially open
the session. The stores will open at
/ o'clock.
The charge throughout the coun-
try that Washington would be un-
able to adequately house the huge
throngs of visitors during the ses-
sion was definitely put at rest to-
day by Ellwood P. Morey. chair
men of the hotel and housing COM
mittee.
Room For All Visitors.
Morey announced today that 68,.
900 Washington homes have been
thrown open to the visitors and
that accommodations have already
been listed in permanent buildings
for $50, 900 persons. In addition the
use of all army tents available is
provided by authorization of Con-
gress and 10000 army cots have
been secured by the committee for
emergency use.
washington can take care of all
the visitors who can be brought
into the city over all the railroads,
steamships and highways" declared
Morey. This canard that Wash
ington citizens have no civic pride
and that Washington is an inhos-
pitable city have been forever dis
proved"

From, Local Utility

$4,000 obtained by Mrs. Lena Grey

company of this city in federal court
because of injuries sustained in her
home here five years ago, has been

ing huge charge of electricity to
enter the washing machine. She was

jured, she alleged.

BALDWIN MAY
RESIGN FROM
PREMIERSHIP
Speculation Is Rife As IL
Course TO be Taken in
View of Election
HAS NO MAJORITY Y
Governor Cannot Force Poll
cies In House of Commons
Over Opposition

London, Dec. B.-(By the A. PO--'
What Prime Minister Baldwin will
do now that MS party has no major
ity over the combined Laborite and
Liberal opposition and that the ad-
ministration of the country will be
carried arc cognate questions to
which the public, press. the poll
ticians and his Majesty's ministers
arc trying to nd satisfactory an
swers.
Since the premier returned to Lon
don from the scene Of his personal
local triumph at Bewdley he has
kept silent and none of the leaders
of the Conservative party have
made public statement. Thus the
newspapers and the people can spccu-
late at will and they arc taking full
advantage Of the opportunity. One
of the favorite guesses is that Mr..
Baldwin will resign both the Prime
Ministership and leadership of the
Conversativcs, but such action would
not settle the problem Of how to car
ry on the government as it is obvious
that his successor to whatever party
he might belong could not command
a sufficient majority Of his own fol-
lowers to enable him to conduct, the
administration.
