ience caused by the strike of munich

air of freshness such as it has never
had before. even on the occasion of
royal visit. The tramway and cleo
trio light standards have all been
painted the color of aluminium and a
bowl of flowers placed high on each.
The streets are brilliant with the flags
of of all countries, the Stars and
Stripes being prominent and even the
Union Jack Of Great Britain appear
ing in some places. -
Today was given over to parades
and the formal opening of the games,
the only sporting event being a match

a variety of the Irish game

c. 0. P. MAY FIGHT
FOR NORTHWEST
President Told Chances
There Are Good Despite
La Toilette Strength.

There is a strong likelihood Of the
Republican campaign being carried into
the Northwest-except where Senator
La Toilette is known to be the strong
est. This is the belief of Republican
political leaders here following the re-
ports President Coolidge has received in
the past week or SO regarding conditions
In that section, and following the in
formal dinner conference at the White
Kansas. Republican whip of the Senate :;
Col. George Harvey. former Ambassador
to Great Britain. and Charles B. War
rem, the retiring Ambassador to Mexico
The Northwest political situation
was discussed at considerable length
at this little gathering and Senator
Curtis. who is known to be in a posi-
tion to accurately estimate the true
conditions in the Northwest States
is said to have urged the President
to include in the general campaign
plan provision for this invasion Of
the La Toilette stronghold.
Senator Curtis is satisfied that the
fight In that section has narrowed
down to La Toilette and Coolidge and
that with the proper organization
and by making a determined and
serious effort the Republican party
can win in these States.
He believes that the La Toilette
sentiment in that section is consid-
erably overrated and Is satisfied that
the Democratic strength is negligible
Senator Curtis Is represented as sug-
gesting the establishment Of a Re-
publican headquarters in Minneapolis,
which would serve as the center of
the party's activities in this fight in
the Northwest country.

In,brie Respected Religions
OF Orientals, Letter Reveals

The fact that Maj. Robert w.
Imbrie. American consul at Teheran.
had full knowledge of the prejudices
of oriental peoples against intrusion
upon their religious ceremonies and
counseled the strict observance Of
such scruples by travellers in eastern
lands was brought out in a letter
made public today by the National
Geographic Society.
The letter, signed by John Oliver
La Gorce, vice presidens of the Ma

tary Wallace has refused to permit

states with the foot and mouth dis

heavy losses in cattle In California,
but which is now under control
Suggestions from medical men. par
ticularly the Los Angeles County
Medical Association, urging the De-
partment of Agriculture to carry out
or authorize Investigations, have been
answered by Secretary Wallace with
the staetment that the disease al
ready has been the subject of pro-
longed study.
"In view of it's highly contagious
nature, and especially the economic
hardships caused by quarantine meas
ures' against localities in which the
disease exists" Mr.. Wallace said, in
a letter to the LOS Angeles Associa-
ton, "it does not seem wise to enter
tain suggestions which contemplate
keeping the disease in stock in any
part of the United States or any is
lands adjacent. The methods Of
eradication which the department has
followed have kept the United States
free from the disease except for the
occasional. outbreaks"
France, Germany and Great Britain
all had attempted to experiment with
the disease, but had found it impos-
sible. notwithstanding the most care
full precautions, to prevent its spread
from experiment centers.

ASKS DRY AGENTS
POWER FOR POLICE
Oyster Lays Plea Before
Blair to Facilitate D. c.
Liquor Cleanup.

Commissioner Oyster today laid be-
fore Internal Revenue Commissioner
Blair his request to have the power of
prohibition agents conferred upon a
group of police plain clothes men as
means Of drying up the National
Capital.
The police commissioner took this
step following receipt of a letter
from Prohibition Commissioner Roy
Haynes. in which that official is said
to have taken the position that Mr..
Blair should pass on the question
raised by Oyster
Il intend to go to the highest au-
thority in the land, If necessary, in
this matter" Commissioner Oyster
declared. THE Volstead law is on the
statute books, and it is going to be
enforced in Washington. But / feel
tnat we need not only more authority
TOT certain members of the force, but
also an allotment Of funds from the
appropriation granted the prohibition
bureau.
Would Limit Number.
Il am not asking that every member
or the police department be sworn
in as a dry agent. but I am of the
opinion that the plain clothes men in
the police department assigned TO
prohibition enforcement should have
the authority to proceed promptly in
making cases."
The Commissioners statement that
ne would go to the highest authority
In the land" was taken as an intima-
ton that he might seek the aid of
the White House in his efforts to OBJ
tain added facilities for prohibition
enforcement.
With regard to his request for an
allotment of funds to be used by
policemen in the procurement of evi-
dence against liquor law violators,
Capt. Oyster said his men have to put
out money in advance to buy evil
dence and wait for reimbursement
later Because of the prices that have
to be paid for liquor he believes this
is hardship on the officers.
The two questions submitted to In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Blair
were discussed several months ago at
conferences between Commissioner
oyster and Representatives Cramton
and Blanton. The conferences were
held with view to obtain possible
legisla tion that would strengthen the
arms of the police in their war on
bootlegging.

Such being the$case. I have always
made it a point to keep out of
mosques or holy places in those

and, further, ! do not feel 1t is proper
to make photographs of religious
ceremonies or what they ,onstrue as

any evidence of feeling of trespass
in such action
This subject was brought up by
my remarking that there had been

Fire Escapes Menace.
In "a report transmitted to Commits
Sioner oyster yesterday afternoon
Watson declared there are many
wooden stairways in use fire es-
capes. He also stated that there are
apartment houses in which it is nee
essary for the occupants to pass
through the rooms of individual
apartments in order to reach the
windows that lead to the fire escapes
The chief believes the Railways of
apartment houses should extend the
full length of the building, so that
the fire escapes could be reached
promptly without passing through a
separate apartment.
The entire question of fire hazards

up as a result of the blaze in the

The principal recommendation of
the fire chief was that all institutions
housed in buildings that are not
modern tireproof construction be re-
quired to obtain such quarters within
a period of from three to five years.
In making this recommended tion the
chief did not give specific instances.

Bell will discuss details and make in
