TOWN OF QUANT|CO

Gates Purchase-Cites
Conditions in Camp.

Purchase OF the town of Quantico.
va. surrounding which Is the great
Marine Corps base for the East Coast
expedttionary force OF that corps.
again was recommended by Maj. Gen.
John A. Lejeune, commandant of this
branch Of the military service. in his
annual report made public today.
The existence Of this town adjacent
to the marine barracks and not under
the control OF the commanding gem
eral or that post creates conditions
which are highly undesirable and
which affect adversely the morale of
the command" said Gen. Lejeune
The town of Quantico has been one
of the sore spots in the marine base
at Quantico, and the conditions pre-
vailing there have been no end Of
trouble for those directing the corps,
according to those who know the
situation. 1t is rendezvous for
bootleggers and others OF the law
breaking element. and the marine
FORCES have no control over it. How
ever. the marine officers have gone
SO far as to prohibit the men from
crossing the railroad tracks into the
town after dark and this Is rigidly
enforced. The effect of this Is felt
on the men, because they have to be
denied the privilege Of congregating
in the town.
Would Cut Temptation.
The town of Quantico proper IS
only small strip extending from
the railroad tracks to point near the
river front. lined on either side b.
houses and stores Of various kinds
In order 70 reach the town from land
II is necessary to pass through the
Marine reservation for a distance OF
several miles from the Fredericks-
burg road. The purchase of the
property would give the marines
complete control OF this section and
enable the commandant to keep temp
tation from the men Of the command
Legislation was introduced at the
last session of Congress to purchase
the town, but failed. but Gen. Le-
jeune expresses the hope that the
coming session the proposition again
may be considered and appropriate
action taken.
Gen. Lejeune said there also ig ur-
gent necessity that permanent build
ings be provided at Quantfco to house
the personnel of the expeditionar.'
force stationed there. He pointed out
that temporary barracks built during
the war have been made to serve
long beyound their allotted period
of usefulness. Their condition nov
is such that the work OF repair and
unkeep is wasteful of both time and
money and the shelter afforded is
neither adequate nor suitable. Recon-
mendation for appropriate legisIa-
tion to relieve this condition will be
submitted before the next Congress
convenes.
Gen. Lejeune further says that the
requirement Of Chopowamsic Island,
which is adjacent to the reservation,
lying at the confluence OF the Chopo-
wamsic Creek and the Potomac River,
Is also desirab BILE as an addition to
the Marine Corps reservation, and
he recommends an appropriation for
the purchase of the flying field at
Brown Field, Va. adjacent to the
reservation.

J THEATERS SHOW
STAR TRAFFIC FILM
Thousands Have Lesson of
Safety Impressed Upon
Them.

Thousands of Washington motor
lists and pedestrians had the menace
of prevailing traffic evils brought
homo to them In sensational and
convincing manner yesterday, when
they saw conditions as they actually
are through the eyes Of the motion
picture camera, screened in five OF
the city's leading theaters-the Pal
ace, Metropolitan, Columbia, Rialto
and TIvoli.
The picture, entitled Our Traffic" 4"
which was photographed under the
direction OF The Star. by one of the
best known motion picture photog-
raphers in Washington, will be shown
at each of these theaters at every
performance this week. to carry it's
lesson to as many persons as pos
sible. Later the film may be made
available for the use of persons
speaking on the traffic problem.
Narrow Escapes shown.
The average person who takes a
chance" in traffic does not realize just
how CLOSE" that Chance" was. The
outstanding feature of The Stars film
Is that it shows persons missing death
or injury by inches. motorists running
across the paths of swiftly moving
fire engines and ambulances and a
score of other careless acts that make
traffic the problem 1t is TODAY.
Probably the pedestrian did not
realize he was in danger. But when
he sees himself running across Penn
sylvania avenue in front of street
cars and automobiles, or watches
himself standing out in the middle OF
the street with machines cutting an
all too narrow oval around him. he
Is likely to change his mind. Those
are the points The Stars picture
brings out with d clearness that no
other medium could achieve.
The picture was purposely limited
so that it could be included In the
programs OF the largest motion pic
ture houses in the city. 1t takes
only little more than FIVE minutes
for a showing, but in that time II
tells story that is pointed, unmis-
taxable and eloquent without need
OF words. No amount Of time or
money was spared to make It pos
sible to bring home to Washington
the pressing need for traffic improve
ments, and Our Traffic" demon
strates that need in a manner that
cannot be contradicted.

The Rev. DR.. swank related con-

"The first time visited her she

$79,373,464 IS CUT
FROM US. REVENUE
Collections From July | to
October 81 Show Effect
of New Law.

With all phases OF the tax reduction
carried by the new law in full force,
a decrease OF S79,373,464 was shown
in internal revenue collections from
July 1 to October 81, the first four
months of the current fiscal year.
The principal decreases include a
loss as compared with the same period
last year Of s22,267,ss2 in income
taxes.
Total internal revenue collections
for the four months covered by a
statement from the Internal Revenue
Bureau today were s763,167.423, as
compared with $s15,540,sss for the
period from July to October 81. last
year. Income taxes for the last four
months were s430,11s,54s, while for
the corresponding period in 1928 the
collections were s452,3s7,241.
Miscellaneous Tax Drops.
Taxes from miscellaneous sources
in the four months beginning July l
this year were $306,047.S74. or $57,105,-
772 below the same period last year.
This sharp decrease resulted largely
from the repeal Of some of the mis-.
cellaneous taxes.
Tobacco taxes again showed an in
crease, collections between July / and
October 81 being $120.696.495, as COM
pared with s114,4s2,0s0 for the same
period of 1923.
The repeal Of the tax on admis-
sions under 80 cents cut the revenue
from that source sharply, collections
from July 1 to October 81 being
S13.o22,4ss, against s22,6a3,s4s for the
same period last year.

TENANTS TO PUSH
WAR ON RENT RISES
Mass Meeting for Public to
Be Held Saturday Night.
Oenounce Joseph Low.

Determination TO carry on their
fight against high rents was ex-
pressed In a statement today by the
Tenants League. which invites the
citizens of Washington to mass
meeting in Central High School Sat
urday night, and denounces Joseph
Low, manager Of the Sixteenth Street
Mansions, for his actions in attempt
ing to break up the meeting there
Saturday night.
Q. A. Reed Of the Clifton Terrace
committee today expressed his inten-
tions of appearing before the Public
Utilities Commission in opposition to
the charge made in the apartment by
the management for the use of tele-
phones. which, he asserts, is eXces-
sive.
Continue to Organize.
The Tenants League intends to
carry on its work Of organizing the
tenants in various apartments, and
Mrs. Henry c. Brown today stated
that she is still getting calls from va
rious apartment houses asking her to
conduct meetings In them.
The statement issued by the Ten
ants League follows:
"The officers and members Of the
Tenants League emphatically protest
against the attacks upon themselves,
upon other tenants and upon the press
made by such a landlord as Joseph
Low Saturday evening at the Sixteenth
Street Mansions.
Demand Freedom of Doors.
I'VE are reputable men and women,
who believe that men who have no
respect for the rights Of others. for
age or for sex or for the press, must
not be allowed to bar doors. TO prevent
free ingress and egress to buildings,
to manhsndle law-abiding men and
women, and, with their hireiings. to
try to drown out orderly speakers.
I'VE received written invitation
from a committee OF tenants in the
sixteenth Street Mansions to meet
there to discuss the rental situation
in Washington and the framing Of a
new law which shall be Just and fair
to landlords and tenants alike.
Free Speech Defended.
I'VE are citizens who believe that
tenants have right to the lobbies OF
the apartments in which they live for
unmolested. orderly meetings. In this
we are supported by the chairman OF
the Rent Commission and by the re-
fusal Of the Commissioners of the Dis
trict and of the police to interfere
with such meetings.
1--WE are citizens who believe in the
right Of free speech on the part Of
tenants, as we'll as landlords. We re-
sent interference with the representa-
tives of the press, who should be free
