c. DELEGATE
BILL BEFORE
HOUSE
New Measure by BIanton En-
bodies Principles Endorsed
BY The Times.

A new District delegate bill was
introduced in the House today by
Congressman Thomas Blanton of
Texas.
With the exception that it limits
the powers of the Public Utilities
Commission, and provides for certain
additional expenditures by the Dis
trict, the measure embodies practi,
cally the same principles recently
outlined in The Washington Times.
Blanton, in presenting the meas
ure, carried out the wishes of the
majority of the committee, both Re-
publicans and Democrats, with re-
spect to the election Of a delegate
and the Commissioners.
The bill, which was referred to the
House District Committee, probably
will be brought up for considera-
ton Wednesday.
Specifically, the bill provides:
That the people Of the District
shall be represented by delegate
in the House, chosen at election.
That exclusive Of the engineer
commissioner, who shall be APP
pointed by the President. there shall
be four instead of two Commits
sioners Of the District. who. as
vacancies occur. shall he chosen by
the people of the District by cleo
ton. Their salaries shall be the
same as now authorized by law.

Immediately after landing, Lloyd
George called for back files of the
newspapers. He plunged into these
papers and studied them with care,
especially events in Central Eu-
rope.
Subsequently the former premier
issued the following statement to
International News Service:
1.-The European outlook is bad;
unquestionably bad. 1t is difficult
to say whether war will be the
outcome. Germany economically
and politically Is in bad way.
Occupation Of the Ruhr was an
act Of gross folly and the wrong
way to approach the reparations
problem. 1t Is the surer way OF
not getting reparations from Ger
many and 1t is laying up a store
Of trouble for the world which I
do not care to contemplate"
Glad Debt Terms Settled.
The former premier said he be.

funding the British war debt were
very stiff" but that he was glad

Two white women were
standing at the, corner Of
Four-and Half and G streets
southwest. A coIored man
came close to them and put
q small package IN the hand
of one Of the women. The
two women started away.
Policeman r. b. Carroll, of
the Fourth precinct, saw this
little by-play. The policeman
decided that the woman who
received the package was
worth watching.
The policeman trailed the
women keeping out of their
sight, so as not to arouse
their suspicious. The women
walked to- the Capitol Hotel,
at Third street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. The woman
who had received the package
from the colored man went
into the Women's room at
the hosiery.
Arrested In Hotel Room
Policeman Carroll gained adj
mittance to the room by declaring
that he was one of the clerks Of
the, hotel. On suspicion that the
package received BY the woman
was a drug, he arrested her there
before she had a chance to use it.
She was taken to the Sixth
precinct station house. When she
was searched there the package
was found to contain small
quantity of morphine.
To the police the woman gave
the name of Mrs. Annie Catherine
Reed. She said she was q nurse.
She gave her age as twenty-four,
and her address as lit Sixth
street northeast.
Tells How She Got Habit.
Mrs. Reed told an interesting
story of how she started to use
dope" She told the police that
some time ago she was suffering
from a violent headache, and one
of her sisters suggested to her that
morphine would help her. She
says that was the first "shot" she
ever had. From this beginnng she
got to taking narcotics more and
more regularly she said until she
became slave to the habit. The
sister who first advised her to take
the morphine has since died from
the effects of constantly using the
drug. Mrs. Reed told the police.
Mrs. Reed. was charged with ille-
gal possession of morphine, the
small quantity she had with her
being taken by the police as evil
dence.
Other Woman Her Sister.
The woman with Mrs Reed
when she was arrested was an
other sister. This sister, she said,
her last night when
she went to purchase the dope"
from the colored man. This sister
is not a user Of drugs, she de-
clared.
Mrs. Reed gave the name ana adj

PARIS, FEB, s. German resist
ancs has been bra en IN the he.
land and Ruhr, ard France h8 ron
& bioodIess victory Of the first
magnitude, according to official
dom and the press today.
The calling off Of the German
railway strike by the German au-
thorities is regarded as the first
step in q general German backdoWn
all along the line. The rail strike
was the backbone Of German pas
sive resistance.
Protest Default Decision.
Echo de Paris reveals that Ger
many has sent d note to the inter-
allied reparations commission protest
ing against the allied decision OF
January 20 holding Germany in vol
untary default OF all payments and
deliveries pledged under the YER
sailles treaty. The note pointed out
that the treaty obligated the repara-
tons commission to study Gernany'A
resources and capacity for pay
ments" before making such de-
cision.
Echo de Paris quoted British dip.
lonat as saying:
Germany has hoisted the. white
flag"
In it's editorial comment this news
paper declared:
France will hold onto what she
has seized until everything owed by
Germany is paid. Germany will have
to pay for everything she obtains
from the Ruhr."
New Guarantees Demanded.
PHILIPPE Millet, writing in the Petit
Parisien, said that France is resolved
not to hold any negotiations with
Germany until the Germans accept
French occupation Of the Ruhr as a
legitimate result of German defaults
on reparations payments"
According to the Matin, French
reparations experts are studying
new guarantees which will be i'm
posed as a result of Germany's
failure to pay SOC. 000, 900 gold marks
indemnity on June !.
"It is necessary for Germany to
give unequivocal satisfaction be-
fore our repressive measures are
halted" said the Matin. Premier
Poincare believes that the 1913
armistice was premature. He will
not grant an armistice now in the
war that is purely economic"
NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-"The
French went into the Ruhr solely
to seize the rich coal fields in
that district" Sir Newton James
Moore, K. C. M. G., former member
of parliament from North London,
and premier of Western Australia
at the outbreak of the war, said
today.
Sir Newton has just returned
from Europe, and will shortly go
to the Pacific coast on business.
THE French have SO per cent
Of the Saar Valley already" he
said. II think they are greatly
hoping an Independent state will be
created there because Of their occu-
patton. This would be a great bene-
fit to France, while the seized coal
mines are just what are needed to
develop the steel and iron trade of
France"
