SMILES HIS AID

TRAFFIC
Most Violations Found Due to
ignorance of Law by
Policeman King

Cheerfulness and tolerance holds
forth at Ninth street and New

pre-medical course at the Lincoln
Memorial University in Tennessee.

arms directs the streams OF traffic.
Policeman King has just been on
his post since June, when he found
it would be impossible for him to
complete his course in medicine and
started to work. He has hopes
however, of some day returning to
the more quiet life of the campus
and receiving his degree.
Ignorant Of Law.
Most of the violations at my post
are due to ignorance rather than
willful disregard of the law" King
declared. 1.-THE District motorists
for the most part are careful and
pay attention to what they are
doing.
THE out-of-town motorists, how
ever. seem to be totally ignorant Of
the way to make a left-hand turn.
Instead Of stopping at an angle to
the side of me a great number OF
them will stop right in the path CT
the traffic behind them and tie up
the whole corner"
King has not had serious acct
dent at his post while he has been
on duty there, he said. A few
bumps now and then are the total

Night Court Needed.
ut would be fine to have a night
court where the traffic violations
could be heard swiftly and as soon
after the arrest as possible" King
continued, but am not in favor
Of taking up everyone for petty vio-
lations. ] always warn a man first
and then, of course, II he does 1t

you try to be cheerful and smile
the motorists will do more for you
and really help you to move the

DIAMONDS WORTH $4,000
FOUND BY HOTEL MAID

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. A.
Claiming to have lost $4,000 worth
Of diamonds while stopping in the
Hotel Sylvania, which she left
Sunday last for New York City.
Mrs. Rejener Connelli telephoned
to this city and then came over
post-haste to get the jewels. They
had been found in her room by
maid named Julia Robinson,
being listed as one two-stone dia-
mond link, one diamond bracelet,
one diamond-studded wrist watch,
one three-stone diamond locket ana
one diamond solitaire ring. They
were turned over to the house
detective, Robert Downey.
Mrs. Connelli had not missed
the jewels for two days. When
she left the Sylvania for New
York she remarked, you certainly
have an honest maid" But there
was no mention of a reward.

MUSCLE SHOALS
DEBATE BEGUN
IN SENATE
Two Branches Of Government
Considering Plans for
Sale Of Property

Two brapches of the Government,
the Senate and the War Depart
ment, today sought to find some
satisfactory way to dispose Of the
huge Muscle Shoals power and
nitrate plants.
Engineers and ordnance experts
OF the War Department. under In
structions from Secretary Weeks.
were studying the Underwood plan
for operation Of the project upon
which they win submit d special
report to President Coolidge.
In the Senate, advocates of the
several plans for disposing Of the
properties began debate to gain
support for their proposals.
Senate Widely Divided.
So widely divided, however, was
the Senate that it seemed inn
probable that any Of the plans thus
tar advanced for Muscle Shoals
could be passed, at least at this
session.
Until the engineers have had OPP
portunity to report to the President,
Administration leaders planned to
force a delay in taking decisive &C.
ton. They want first some defin-
lite word from President Coolidge to
guide them in disposing Of the prop
critics.
Debate that opened in the Senate
was expected to consume several
days.
Commission Is Favored.
II it is shown that little Roadway
has been made before the week
end. it is believed that Administra-
ton neutenants will move to have
the whole question referred again

LOngWorth, Madden and Smell
Will Pop Fly" Bills Almost
Daily Across Capitol
BY WILLIAM HARD.

With Nicholas Longworth as
Republican floor leader and with
Bertrand H. Smell, Of New York,
rs Republican chairman of the
key committee, which is called
the Rules Committee, the House
Of Representatives is going to be
/ . quite assertive body even during
! this present '1ame-duck" short
session.
The House is going to try to
raise its prestige, relatively to the
Senate, and it is not going to
forfeit its constitutional independ-
ence, relatively to the White
House.
LOngWOrth's Pride.
It will be Nicholas Longworth's
pride to show the Senate that the
House can transact public business
promptly. 1t will be his pride to
pass at least three Of the appropria.
ton bills before the Christmas hoIi.
days.
1t will be his pride to keep on
batting legislative flies over to the
Senatorial end of the Capitol and
to defy the Senate to catch them
and keep up with them.
People outside Washington usually
realize that there IL an eternal
rivalry between the executive and
the legislative. between the White
House and the Congress.
They seldom realize that there
as an equally eternal rivalry within
the Congress- between the Senate
and the House.
The House regards itself az bet
ter organized and more efficient
than the Senate.
It thinks that this fact ought to
be plain to the country.
It IL always grieved that never
theless the country seems to accord
20 q Senator a glory and an esteem
which it does not accord to Rep
resentative.
Longworth perhaps does not per-
@onally share this grief but he
abundantly shares and he most es-
pecially and emphatically and UNI
usually represents the eternal de-
termination of the House to demon
strate a legislative superiority over
the Senate.
Great House Patriot.
Longworth has a great patriotism
for the House. Light.mannered,
jocular. amused. amusing, full of
flippancies. he is also at the same
time full Of most exact and seri-
Gus knowledge, of the rules Of the
House and of all the technical
devices by which legislation in the
House can be thwarted or expedited.
Some men conceal their flip
pancies behind mask of impress
sive solemnness. Longworth con-
ceals his laborious seriousness be-
hind a deceitful mask of disarming
jocularity.
1t is a painful task to expose
him, but a correspondent cannot for.
ever allow a public man to mislead
the world.
Under debonnair and care-free ex.
terror Nicholas Longworth cherishes
the savage and malicious design of
making the House of Representa-.
tives look like the top of the world
and of making the Senate look like
30 cents.
In this design he will be warmly
aided and abetted by Mr.. Smell as
chairman of the Rules Committee,

IN CHINESE INTERIOR
Have Practically No Protection
From Reckless Bands of
Robbers.
By CLIFFORD FOX.

BY Radio to The star and the Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1924.
PEKING. February 9.-The difficult
ties attending solicitation of foreign
business through central and north
China in the interior districts were
described here by a small band Of
foreign travellers returning from an
eight-month trip.
They pointed out that it is one
thing to meet Chinese soldiers at
railway stations or treaty ports. and
another thing to meet them in the
interior where in many cases they
work hand In hand with bandits, but
always depend upon the villagers.
who are quick to warn them of I'M
pending danger.
These travellers ascribe the uncer-
tainty of safety for foreigners in the
remote districts of China as due to
the independence of the small pro-
Vincial local governments from the
provincial governments and the lat
ter's independence from the Pekfng
government. This Is held the biggest
problem faced by President Tsao Kun
and his subordinates who are seeking
to- reunify their country and re-es-
tablish peace and order.
Fear OF Planes.
In the interiors. 1t is said that the
troops and bandits do not fear possi-
Bile foreign intervention because of
their familiarity with the country
en!'; compared with foreign troops un-
foreign airplanes. which might reveal
their hiding places and result in bomb
attacks. They are confident that
Britain and America will persist in
refusing to sell planes. arms and am
German planes selling for $4,000 Mex
have been thrown on the market.
Many of these planes have been
purchased by the Chinese. who thus
far have been unable to obtain for
ed to be sending foreign instructors
to aid the Chinese in their study of
air intricacies.
Arms Forbidden.
The travellers regret the regula-
tion forbidding the carrying of arms
for self-protection and at the same
time acknowledge the wisdom Of the
would mean a quick finish.
The travellers declared that foreign
Intervention in China would result
in the slaughter of missionaries and
the remote postal and telegraph IA
cilities catch up the days news. For
eign lives are safe in the treaty ports
and railway areas where the officials
are certain to impress upon their
people the necessity of protecting for
eigners. The danger in the Interior
arises largely through the ignorance
OF the people and collusion between
bandits and soldiery who kidnap and
carry cff foreigners, thereby hoping
to provoke foreign influence to as
cure safety for the brfRands in orde or
to obtain release of the captives.
Marshal Wu Pei Flu Is wagfng a
vigorous fight against bandits in
the Yangtze valley, and other Chi
nose military leaders are conducting
similar campaigns in the north, but
the remoteness of the bandit -infest-
ed districts. coupled with the ability
of the outlaws to travel faster than
communications. makes the govern
ment campaigns difficult.
