Corcoran Hall will be the name
of the new unit of George Wash
ington University now under con-
struction at Twenty-first and G

today.
The action of the university
trustees in so naming the building
redeems a promise of twenty-three
years standing when a resolution
was adopted providing that one of
the proposed buildings be named
after w. w. Corcoran.

institution with property and gifts

.BYRNES To ASK

FARLEY
Congressman Would Amend
Naval Bill to Provide Call
by Coolidge.

An early conference of the world
powers to limit construction of
war aircraft, submarines and war
ships Of light tonnage is urged by
Congressman Byrnes Oem) of
South Carolina.
Before final passage of the naval
appropriation bill which is now
under consideration in the House,
Byrne$ will offer, he stated today,
an amendment requesting President
Coolidge to call conference of
representatives of the powers to
consider this proposal.
The armament limitation confer
ence, called by President Harding,
resulted in an agreement among
the chief naval powers of the world
for cessation of competition in con-
struction Of battleships over -. a
given tonnage. This is the famous
5-5-S pact under which Great
Britain and the United States
agreed on equal naval strength in
the ratio OF five to three for Japan.
Great, battleships that were build
ing were scrapped by each of the
three nations and the taxpayers
were saved $500. OOO, 900 for each of
the two larger countries and $780,

With war-type machines, obsO-

Hon. Edward F. Taylor, Congress-
man from Colorado and member Of
the House Committee on Appropria-
tons, said recently: Upon the
subject Of our airplane mail service
our country has come to a parting
OF the ways. We must either stop
or go forward. The only logical or
sensible thing for Congress to do is
either to discontinue the appropria-
ton Of $1,500,000 for carrying on
the present service or appropriate

THE FORT LEE MIDDLE.

The mass meeting in Fort Lee on
Monday night emphasizes very
strong feeling which has grown out
o. the recent election. The defeat of
Harry ID. Schall. Palisades candidate
for council caused that gentleman's
friends 10 arouse themselves to the
pitch Of asking for a recount which
WAS promptly allowed by the Hack
ensack Court, and the work of count
ing the votes again has commenced
this week.
At the meeting in Fort Lee, a pro
test meeting. many bitter personali-
ties were indulged in and feeling ran
high against those responsible for the
recount which was considered a re.
flection on the members of the elec.
ton boards in the five precincts out.
side of Palisade. Or course, Mr.
Schal's defeat by the narrow margin
of six votes was the basis of the de-
mand for a recount
At the mass meeting. Judge Moore
very sensibly said that if the recount
proved that there were human errors
in the ballots, Mr.. Schall would be
declared elected, and that il there
were fraud in the first count, some.
body would 90 10 jail. There is also
ar other thing connected with the re-
count that has not been given much
attention. Citizen Harry Elkan, OF
Ialisade, brings out the fact that one
OF the candidates was sent to Pali-
sade and saw every ballot counted,
insisting on the closest scrutiny in
order TO insure correct count. The
point Is raised by Mr. Elkan that if
Palisade has cast reflection upon
Fort Lee. didn't Fort Lee do the same
thing in having watcher at the orig
inal count in Palisade? The point
would appear TO be taken in view of
the fact that Palisade sent no one to
watch at the other five precincts.
But the mischief has come about
and the only thing to be done is to
wait for the recount In the mean
time isn't it odd that a municipality
should be wrought up over an office
that Is supposed to be post of honor
and without one dollars pay? Verify
politics breeds some very odd situa-
tiOns, TO say the least.
Nations have gone to war for just
such foolish situations as this. Some
genius for diplomacy may yet dispel
the local war clouds. Let us hope so.
