Statement to Star.


Alfred r. Moore, who conducted

stance of the Senate District com
mittee and who was made the sub
ject for an attack by Representative
BIanton Saturday night in the course
of his minority report against the
Lampert bill for extension OF the
Ball rent act, gave The Star the
statement today which follows:
unfortunately, | was away over
the week end and did not learn of
the attack on me until my return
misfortunes cannot be of interest to
Washington. 1t is an old story to
DeIawareans that has been Matched
up to draw attention from the acute
necessity for rent legislation. My
status in the community where | am
best known is easily ascertainable.

stating that / sacrificed my personal
fortune to satisfy my creditors as

The peoepie OF Washington. who

work Of the Associated Cha arities, are
entitled to know at this time just

problem as one example:
To one of the eight district offices
or the Associ q ted Charities came one
morning man in trouble, who said
he mad been unable to get steady
work for several months. and now
with only ss in his r-ocket- he, with
his wife and four children, was
threatened with eviction the next day
for failure TO pay the rent, and al
most no food left in the house.
The district visitor had no diff
Guilty in verifying the essential parts
of the mans story, and teiephoned to
the social service exchange at the
Associated Charities central Office 50
as to avoid any possible duplication
of or Interference with other agenci es
The visitor got in touch with the
landlord and by assurance got him to
delay eviction proceedings for fo-ty-
eight hours. The family was supplied
with food, so that the s6 cash in hand
could be used toward the rent of another
place. Search was made, with the
mans help, for a house at the minimum
rent.
Then the visitor. after seeing the fam
lily next day safe in the new home,
finally found a regular job for the
man, and he went to work. Since the
first pay day was afar off. to make up
the rent balance, she advanced SO TO
the man 'as a loan thus helping to
maintain his independence. She also
supplied the necessary food until tine
pay day came around. Since that time
the man has repaid the loan, and the
family is now self supporting.
1t is this Kind OF rehabilitation work
for the support of which the Associated
Charities and Citizens Relief Associa-
tion are appealing through the treasurer
of their joint fund, Ord Preston. 1922

BACKS ADDED POWER
FOR COMMISSIONERS
Daniel J. Donovan Believes Ap-
proval of Bill Would Aid Har-
monious Administration.

Better and more harmonious ad-
ministration would result il the Dis
trict Commissioners were given pow
er of appointing the board of educa-
ton, the recorder of deeds and the
judges of the Police. Municipal and
Juvenile courts, Auditor Daniel j..
Donovan declared today in q state
ment explaining the proposed bill to
broaden the powers of the city heads.
The contemplated legislation has
been drafted by committee of Dis
trict officials at the suggestion of
members of the Senate District COM
mittee. The Commissioners are await
ing the views of civic orga anizations
before approving the measure and
sending it to Congress.
In addition to giving the city IA
theirs authority to name the above
mentioned officials. the bill contains
sixteen other sections empowering
the Commissioners to pass on mu-
nicipai questions which now require
action by Congress.
Donovan sets forth as an added
reason for centralizing municipal
control in the Commissioners that
they are charged with the RESPONSE
bility of compiling the annual esti-
mates of all city offices, including the
courts and schools, and they also are
responsible for the expenditure of
the money after it is appropriated
The auditor then takes up and ex-
plains one by ore the reiaalring six

of the Chief Magistracy put in the
balance against senators, sworn as
he is, to uphold the Constitution, and
con strained to a course of fearless
and upright official conduct.
Against Special Counsel.
Senator Glass said he could not
approve the employment OF a special
counsel by member of a Senate
committee, and "all this discussion"
would have been averted had the
President confined himself to criti-
cism of this exceptional procedure"
But neither the President nor the
Secretary desired to confine this con-
troversy" he declared. Neither de-
sired to discuss an episode. Both
wanted to project an issue. And I
reject as untenabla and little less
than childish the suggestion that the
Secretary and the President are pro-
testing solely against an irregularity
of method, prompted by inconSeQuen-
tial personal .bick ering between a
cabinet minister and senator of his
own party on o question of taxation.
The text and tenor of Mr.. MELONS
letter to the President and the lat
ters message to the Senate afford an
effective refutation of such a hy-
pothesis.
TT is the trif1ing incident of an
irregularly compensated attorney,
however, much to be deprecated, that
has caused the White House and the
Treasury to despair of orderly gov
ernment They tell us it is the con-
dition' which the Senate has brought
about; the 1awless government which
the Senate has instituted as a sub
stitute, we must assume, for the bet
ter attuned administration of Fall, as
helped by Doheny and Daugherty, as
aided by Jess Smith and Mr.. DENLY,
the victim of his own guileless stu
pidity.

Draws Biblical Parallels.

TT is this condition of law1ess gov
ernment, created by senatorial in
vestigations, which is creating con-
sternation in the departments and
bureaus and, indeed, alarming the
country. 1t is a unique doctrine
which we are gravely assured that
the exposure of wrougdoing and the
driving from Office of the criminal
and the negligent constitute lawless-
ness in the government
And then we are assured that the
senatorial Investigations are hurting
business. The same plea was made
when Christ drove the huckSterS from
the temple at Jerusalem. The same
plea was made by the fTnage-makers at
Antioch when Paul preached against
idolatry; and now we have it here in
behalf of the Falls and the Daughertys
and the Doheneys. Apply the doctrine
of this message and letter. and the
Senate of. the United States stands con-
victed while Fall goes free. Apply the
philosophy of the President and his
Secretary, and the Senate stands con-
victed while Sinclair enjoys undisputed
possession of Teapot Dome"
Declaring the country had been
falsely told that the revenue bill and
structed" by the Senate inquiries,
Senator Glass, himself a former Sec
retary of the Treasury, asserted that
the Mellon tax plan has not the re-
motest chance of being enacted by
the present Congress. In view of
that fact, he said, republican mem
bers of the finance committee are
causing unnecessary delay and
counting defeat" of tax reduction by
rejecting the House compromise plan.
1t was the House republicans, the
senator said, who were largely re-
sponsible for tearing the Mellon
plan toshreds." It's submittaI to the
Senate. he predicted, would lead only

Studebaker Entry Clips
Fast Pace AT indianapolis
Earl Cooper, Noted Driver, Limbers
Up Car, Prepatory To 5o0-Mile
Decoration Day Race

Indianapolis, Ind.-Earl Cooper in
his new Studebaker Special, is giving
the railbirds at the Speedway thrill
these days in the early. speed trials
for the annual International 5OO-mile
race, May 80.
Cracking off five laps at an average
speed Of 1908 miles an hour in his
first >try-out, Cooper demonstrated
what clean pair Of heels the little
Studebaker Special has, when Mayor
Lew Shank headed a delegation well
coming the veteran driver.
This was the first time, in recent
years, that indianapolis has given a
municipal reception to an arriving
Speedway contestant. The occasion
was in honor Of Studebaker.
For it is the first time that The
Studebaker Corporations house flag
will flutter from the track pits, when
the thirty-one speed busses scuttle a.
cross the line at 10 o'clock in the
morning of the great annual gasoline
derby.
"The city is yours" said Mayor
Shank, when he officially welcomed
Cooper. "From all indications this
1924 race will eclipse them all. Every
day I am receiving word that motor
caravans are setting out from every
corner of the country to arrive in In
dianapolis in time for the race. I
nope you win. We have to keep the
irst prize in Indiana"
The mayor was abiding to the fact
that Studebaker for seventy-two
years has been located in Indiana.
Automobile racing vets, who are
practically living out at the Speedway
these days, are carefully clocking the
studebaker Special, for the chatter is
that the newest entry has fine
chance to annex first money.
For one thing, the car is in mighty
healthy shape, flying over the bricks
with the characteristic "fee" that de-
lights Earl Cooper, seasoned veteran
of fourteen years on the fastest
tracks in the country.
Newspaper men note Cooper's
thoughtful, studious, intense mood
out at the track. He spends fourteen
hours day with that Studebaker
Special, bringing out every possible
bit of energy and power.
There is grim smile on his face as
he whirrs. past the impromptu clock
ers near the repair pits. Around and
around he goes testing, squirting, ex-
perimenting, hitting up to faster and
faster lap performances.
Nursing the Studebaker Special is
Early Cooper's faithful mechanic,
Reeves Dutton, widely known for
years on the tracks as shrewd train
er and driver of racing cars. Dutton
spends all of his time in tuning up"
the Studebaker and you'll see the
lights burning in his little shop in
the paddock most every night.
The car is PAINTED robin egg blue.
It bears in gold the mineral "1", be-
cause Cooper was the first entry sign
ed up for the 1924 Speedway classic.
Cooper was the winner of the Fres-
non race in 1919, after two years. re-
tirement into the world of business.
He was second in the July race in
Kansas City last year, and second in
the Beverly Hills meet in 1922. He
also finished fourth in the 1916 race
at the Indianapolis speedway, besides
winning the road championship in
California in 1914.
