RELIEF FUND DRIVE
TO OPEN WEDNESDAY
Associated Charities Seek 10000
Contributing Members in
Easter Campaign.

Wednesday. April 9, will mark the
opening Of the annual Easter cam
paign of the Associated Charities and
the Citizens Relief Association. The
goal is 10000 contributing members.
The special committee directing
the campaign consists of Franklin Fl.
Ellis, chairman; Dwight Clark, Will
liam J. Flather, jr.; Charles c. Glover.
jr; Arthur HELEN, Coleman Jennings,
E. Lee Jones, Newbold Noyes, Cleve-
land Perkins and r. H. Wilmer.
The hope of the committee is that
this year this goal of 10000 will be
more nearly reached than in any
previous campaign. The Chesapeake
distribute with the April bills the
same subscription slip and return en-
velope which the committee Is using
in it's letter appeals. Last year the
Potomac Electric Power Company did
the same thing and the year before
the Washington Gas Light Company.
The telephone company Is now re-
peating the same service which ii
gave three years ago. Fifty thou
sand subscription slips are being dis
tributed in this way.
The general budget of the Asso-
ciated Charities and the Citizens Re-
lief Association for the current fiscal
year, which began October i. 1928, is
$4,000, the same as for the past three
years OF this amount $4,000 has
already been received during the past
six months, leaving $4,000 to be
raised through the Easter appeal
All who are willing to help in en-
abling these family welfare agencies
to reach their goal are requested to

urer of their joint finance committee

NEW TRAIN TO EMB0DY
ALL LATEST DESIGNS
"Oriental Limited Newly Equip
ped Passenger Outfit to Run From
Chicago to Northwest.

Announcement of the inauguration
of a newly equipped passenger train,
the Oriental Limited" to run from
Chicago to the Pacific northwest, be-
ginning June ], is made today by Ed
mund H. Whitlock, travelling pas
senger agent of the Great Northern
railway. The installation of this
service will culminatc a two-year
campaign of improvements by the
railroad in that territory.
The locomotives will be of the oil
burning tyne, thus doing away with
the discomfort OF cinderS and smoke
on it's course of 871 miles. The route
will be from Chicago to Spokane,
Portland, Everett, Seattle, Tacoma
and Vancouver, via st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Glacier National Park.
The new train will embody the lat
est designs and improvements in
sleeping car equipment by the Pull
man company Many unique features
will be available, including shower
baths, both for men and women;
commodious lounge room, exclusively
for women; ladies' maid, hairdresser,
manicure, barber and valet. The OBJ
servation cars are specially designed
for mountain travel, with unusually
deep recessed ends and especially
wide windows to enhance the enjoy
ment of mountain scenery along the
route In constructing these new cars
the comfort Of the woman traveller
vision has been made for greatly en-
larged women's dressing rooms, each
one of which will be equipped with
a full-length. vanitay table, an un-
usually large mirror, three wash
stands and additional space for four
chairs.
A new feature in sleeping car con-
struction is provided with fixed head
boards to afford greater privacy dur
! ing the daylight hours of travel and
to, speed up the work of making up
and taking down the berths, which
will cause less Inconvenience to pas
sengers. The dining cars will be as
luxurious as the new sleeping cars
are in comparison with the average
s'1os,er. They are of very heavy con-
stfuction, practically soundproof and
vibration proof. The dining room is
decorated under the direction of a
we'll known interior decorator and
will combine elegance with sim
plicity.
Ralph Budd, president of the Great
Northern railway, in an official bull
! letfn relative to this new service,
says:
This train, spick and span new in
every detail, Is the elimination of an
Improvement program of several
years, which involved expenditure Of
many millions of dollars. Putting on
new train does not, mean merely
, the purchase of one locomotive and
the necessary cars. for one train. In
establishing this new train it was
necessary to actually provide the
equipment of ten complete trains.
Eight of these complete trains will
be in regular service and the euuiva-
lent of the other two will be neces-
sary Tor extra service often desired
by the public"

RULES D. c. LIABLE
FOR UNSAFE STREETS
Justice Robb Decides City May Not
Evade Responsibility
for Accidents.
The District of Columbia may no

The District Of Columbia may not
avoid liability for failure to keep
public street in reasonably safe con-
dition by asserting that the unsafe
condition was the result of the ex-
ercise of a discretionary power or
governmental function, according to
an opinion of the District Court of
Appeals rendered today by Justice
Charles H Robb. The decision was
rendered in a suit brought ten years
ago by John Robert Stephenson to recov-
for injuries sustained by him Febru-
ary IA, 1914. when his foot was
caught in the mouth of sewer.
Stephenson was an employe Of the
navy yard, was sixty-seven years old
and weighed 200 pounds. 1t was
shown that two years previously he
had fallen into the same sewer and
lost several days from work.
The Court of Appeals distinguishes
this case from those relieving the
District when exercising a govern-
mental function, and points out that
the question whether the catch
basin where Stephenson was injured
was in fact negligently constructed or
maintained is one for the jury under
proper instructions from the court.
The case is remanded with directions
to award a new trial.

Pearl Harbor Reserve Is
Americas He1goland.

Championing Secreary DENLY for
having made a most excellent bar
gain for the government in leasing
the naval oil reserve to the Doheny
and Sinclair interests, Representative
Fred A. Britten, republican of Illinois,
a member of the House naval affairs
committee, issued a formal statement
last night in which he censures Sena-
tor Walsh of Montana and other
democratic leaders, who have been at
tacking the leases.
AS part of their lease. to the Cali
fornia reserve, the Doheny interests
are constructing oil storage at Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, he pointed out add
ing that this work will make possible
a naval base there which will make
the Pacific coast safe from invasion.
Senator Walsh of Montana and his
democratic colleagues" said the
statement, "are seeking to destroy
their countrys Helgoland and place
the United. States at the mercy of
any great naval power which may
attack 1t from the west In their
effort to create party issue and pro-
mote their personal political ambi-
tions they are trying to sacrifice their
country's safety. That is the whole
secret of their attack on the oil leases

FOUND PULPIT RESTRAINT
Adventist Says Europe Has Not

Protestants in Europe do not have
the freedom of worship which is
known in America, l. r. Conradi, a
minister of the Seventh-day Adven-
tist Church, told the congregation at
the Takoma Park Church of that de-
nomination yesterday. He said that
supposedly there is now religious
freedom in Europe but in reality the
restrictions imposed at the behest of
the state church are still great.
In some countries more liberty is
granted than before the war, Con-
tinued the speaker, but Protestant
ministers never know when they
may be subjected to arrest and Inn
prisonment for the crime of preach
ing Bible truths" Rev. Mr.. Conradi
