Richards to be too high.
Automobiles in the District used
$50 gallons of gasoline per car for
the first six months of 1924 or a
rate of 500 gallons a year, which.
computed on a weekly basis, would
make an exact consumption of 10 gal

ures. obtained by the Bureau Of Public
Roads, and declared to be accurate.
The gasoline consumption rate here
of $40 gallons per year per car is
higher than in most of the States. is
comparable with the consumption
rate in California, tourist State, and
is much higher than in the adjoining
States of Maryland and Virginia, the
compilations made by the roads bu-
reau show. Virginia has low con-
sumption rate, while Maryland's con-
sumption rate is considerably lower
than the $40 gallon rate shown here
by figures for the first six months of

Roads, for a fiuctuation in the gaso-
line tax receipts when tourist travel

ton, as in the Spring and Fall, but,
on the whole, the consumption should
remain fairly constant, allowing for
the expansion in the use of motor
vehicles and the consequent increased
use of gasoline.
In addition, the bureau said, many
vehicles licensed in Maryland and
Virginia purchase gasoline in Wash
ington when they are In this city be-
cause of a possible lower cost here.
Chairman Zihlman emphasized to-
day that his investigation carries with
it no implication of fraud in the col
lection of the gas tax, but is under
taken because the additional revenue
which this tax was expected to yield
is especially desired at this time for
road improvements.
He called today on several of the
big taXicab and bus companies and
other large consumers of gasoline for
data covering their prospective con-
sumption. He also Is seeking reliable
information regarding the number of
automobiles, so that when he calls

have authoritative data on which they

SPANISH BUY OFF
FOES IN MOROCCO
Large Sums Paid to Natives
When Rivera Cannot Re-
Iieve BeSeiged Posts.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, December 11.-Reliable
reports indicate that the Spanish
withdrawal toward Tetouan and Aka
scar from Chechuan is proceeding
slowly, hampered by heavy rains and
continual attacks by the natives,
with serious losses from sickness and
rifle fire.
The Spanish Ambassador at London
has addressed a letter to the press
arguing that this withdrawal is not
the result OF defeat, but of change
in policy.
Retreat Is Costly.
Whatever may be its cause, it is
proving exceedingly costly. The ma
tiVes have received large sums of
money for the ransom of beleaguered
Spanish posts which the Spanish were
unable to relieve otherwise, and Abdel
Krim, it is reported, now has more
than 1900 Spanish prisoners.
Snipings are now occurring even
around Tetuan, where the aviation
times. Dispatches from Tangier in
dictate that the natives are only
awaiting the arrival of the bulk of
the Spanish forces at Tetuan to at
tack that tity.
The attitude of the Anjera tribesmen
between Tetuan and Ceuta is dubi-
Gus. IT is feared that they may arise
at any moment and destroy the Teu-
tuan Ceuta Railway.
Peace negotiations between the
Spanish and the Rifflans apparently
have broken down. 1t Is confirm ed
that Abdel Krims terms are com
pl etc evacuation of the Spanish zone
except the towns of Ceuta and Melil-
la. and the payment of an indemnity
of 20,000,000 pesetas. The Spanish
have refused.
The new Spanish line which Gen.
will form a semi-circle from Tetuan
will form a semi-circle from Tetouan
to Alkasar, covering the Tangter-
Fez Railway. 1t remains to be seen
whether IL will be easier to hold this
than the preceding lines.

TENANTS LEADER
SUED ON CONTRACT
Woman Claims She Gave
$3.50 as Loan or Option on
League Interest.

Allegations that Edward H. Schir-
mer. president OF the Tenants
League, entered into a contract and
option agreement for the sale of a
third interest in the league for $500
is contained IN a suit filed by Mrs
Frances NJ. Butts against Schirmer in
the Municipal Court today for the re-
covery of a loan of $3.50. A copy OF
the contract filed with the suit holds
the $3.50 was also an option on the
one-third interest in the league
which was valued at $500.
The declaration states that Schir-
mer entered into contract Septem-
ber 4, 1924, and a Photographic copy
of the contract, signed by Schirme er
and Mrs. Butts, is submitted with
the papers.
1t states that in getting the loan
Schirmer represented that he was
about to organize a certain organi-
zation known as the Tenants League
that the said Tenants League would
be extremely profitable to the pro-
motors and organizers and would re-
suit in large revenues to the organ
i1ers and promoters by the dues and
collections; that many persons in the
city of Washington would become
members of such organization II
properly conducted, and that said
organization or similar organizations
would be extended to other cities
throughout the United States, there
by increasing the revenues and profits
to be derived by it's original pro-
moters and organizers.
The declaration further states that
Schirmer would in consideration ot
$500 assign and transfer a one e-third
interest in the organization and In
the revenues therefrom. Mrs Butts
says she advanced $3.50 to Schirmel
on these representations as an option
for 80 days during which $3.50 was
to be paid for the one-third interest
Otherwise the $3.50 was to be repaid
by Schirmer in 80 days. The plaintiff
states that she decided not to buy
the one-third interest after study OF
the matter and has only been able tc
collect two payments of SIS each on the
loan. She states that Schirman made q
promissory note for the balance to c. s
Butts on the Riggs Bank, which was as
signed to her and has failed to meet the
note. She sues for the balance and
interest S121.60.

BIZ EDGAR ANsEL MOwRER.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN, December 1.-THE decd
sion of the cabinet to resign within
the immediate future Is taken here
to mean that Chancellor Marks days
are numbered. His most probable sue
cessor is Herr Stresemann, whose
candidacy is said TO be the only one
acceptable to President Ebert.
Other candidates are the Center
deputy, Stegerwald, organizer of Cath
olic labor bodies and leader of Con
servative Catholics, and any one of
three NationaIists
1t seems fairly certain the new
cabinet will be formed under Ma
tionalistic colors, based on the Ma
tionalists, the Peoples party, the
Catholic Center and two or three
smaller groups, leaving out the Dem
ocrats, the Social Democrats, the
Communists and the remaining hand
full of superpatriots. This means a
conservative government, in which
will be represented men who are
wholly unsympathetic with any full
fillment policy.
Chancellor Marx wished to resign
Immediately and leave this conserva-
tive group to deal with the difficult
problem which is pending, but Strese-
mann demurred. He was not willing
to induce his conservative friends 10
hang themselves with the first fibers
of tho new policy, hence the decision
is left in MARKS hands. The old ca abI-
net VIII not resign until the new one

.2,5QO HERE LOSE
VACATION LEAVE
Per Diem Employees Hit by
Controller of Treasury's
Ruling.

More than $500 per diem employees
of the District government must be
deprived OF the Is days leave a year
they now receive as a result of a rul-
ing of the Controller of the Treasury
which came to light yesterday.
This conclusion was reached by the
Commissioners in special board ses-
sion today, at which they went over
the controllers opinion with Auditor
Daniel J. Donovan and Daniel E.
Garges. secretary to the Board of
Commissioners,
At the same session the city heads
decided to appeal to the controller
to reconsider the question. Here,
briefly, is how the situation arose:
In 1921 Congress made provision
in the District appropriation aot
whereby the Commissioners could
grant Is days leave a year to all
per diem men who are in the service
for 10 consecutive months. Prior to
that time per diem men got no leave,
although employees carried as annual
or statutory workers, are allowed 80
days of annual leave as well as sick
leave.
Makes Test Case.
Recently A. G. oliver a per diem
empioye Of the Water Department,
applied for sick leave on the ground
that the Classification Board has fixed
his salary on an annual basis. He
was denied sick leave, whereupon he
asked the Commissioners for d ruling
from the controller.
After studying the ruling the Com
missioners reached the conclusion
that it not only denied the per diem
employe sick leave. but that It also
denied the Is days regular leave
year to all employees who are paid out
of appropriations in which the words
temporary employment" are used.
The Commissioners found that about
$500 men come under the appro-
priations in which the employment IS
referred to as Temporary"
|, District officials explain that the
difficulty in the situation Is that while
the employment of these men is le-
gally referred to in the appropriation
act each year as being temporary,
their salaries are, in fact, continuous
In hundreds of cases.
Longtime 'eremporary" Employees.
The sewer department, for example,
has one temporary employe who
has been in the service of the city
government for more than 40 years.
There are others who have been con-
tinuously. employed for long periods
of years.
Auditor Donovan explained that
while the pay of per diem employees
was computed on an annual basis Of
$50 days a year for the purposes of
carrying out the classification act,
that act did not change the per diem
worker TO an annual basis for the
purposes of sick and annual leave.
For many years the per diem men
got no leave with pay. After a long
fight they had the clause inserted in
the appropriation act in 1921, giving
them Is days. or half of what statu-
tory employees receive.
The effect of the new ruling takes
that 15-day privilege away from
nearly all Of them under the inter
probation of tho word Temporary" in
connection with the appropriations.
Most of the men affected are in the
various branches OF the engineer de-
partment, but it also reaches certain
employees of the assessor, the license
bureau, the Free Public Library and
the Fairgrounds department.
