SIXSMITH'S DRIVER
ASSESSED $500 FINE
Gillian Gets Limit in Reckless Driv-
ing Case-Judge Assails
Chauffeur.

Declaring that the case against
Charles Gillian, colored chauffeur of Ar
thur S. Sixsmith, private secretary to
Andrew Mellon. was the worst charge of
reckless driving ever brought before
him, Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police
Court today gave the maximum SEN
tence of $500. Gillian was tried by
jury and found guilty last Tuesday.
The motion for a new trial made
after the verdict was waived by the
defense attorney, T. A. Hughes, who
stated to the court that it was in
every way a fair trial.
In reviewing the case after a plea
of mercy had been made by the de-
fense, Judge Schuldt said he had gone
over the case and testimony very
thoroughly and was convinced of it's
seriousness. He brought out that dur
ing the testimony 1t was stated that
the defendant admitted at speed of
As miles an hour and that there was
school children daily crossing the
street at the scene Of the accident,
Connecticut avenue and Ashmead
place.
He also stated that in previous cases
of reckless driving brought before
him he had given fines of 500 and
5000, but in his estimation none of
the previous cases were half as bad
as this one.-
The accident occurred November IS,
when the machine driven by Gillian
crashed into truck occupied by j. D.
Matthews, and Wilbur Smith, car
penters. AS a result of the accident
the two men were taken to Garfield
Hospital, where both received treat
ment.
The charge of colliding that was
made out was consolidated in the
reckless driving charge. Efforts will
be made by the corporation counsel
to have the policeman, r. F. Williams,
to ask the Police Department to re-
woke Gillan'a permit

LEAGUE CONFERENCE
IN ROME ADJOURNS
Failure to Discuss Protocol in No.
wise Has Weakened Confidence,
Franco Says.
By the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, December 13.-The Rome
session of the Council of the League
of Nations adjourned today after a
valedictory address by President
Afranio Mello Franco summarizing
the work of the session.
Although the questions involved in
the Geneva peace protocol were not
discussed at this session, the post
ponement of the discussion. Imposed
by reasonable and just motives" had
in no wise weakened the confidence
awakened among the people by. that
protocol, declared Senor Mello Franco.
In the name of the King and the
government Of Spain, Senior Quinones
de Leon, Spanish member of the coun-
Gil, invited that body to hold in
Madrid the next meeting of the coun-
ell, which might take place outside
of Geneva, the league headquarters.
The council has established the prece-
dent of convening once every year in
one of the European capitals.
The Swedish representative opposed
acceptance of the invitation, urging
that all the meetings be held in
Geneva unless some extraordinary
circumstance might compel the coun-
Gil to sit elsewhere.
The council, however, accepted the
Spanish invitation in principle.

SCHOOL PROGRAM
IS SENT TO BALL
Five-Year Building Project,
Forced Attendance and
Free Books Urged.
PROMPT PASSAGE ASKED
Ballou Tells Senator Most Pressing
Needs Should Get Imme-
diate Attention.
PROMPT PASSAGE ASKED

AGomprehensive program of school
legislation, including a building pro-
gram, compulsory school attendance,
reorganization of the power and re-
sponsibilities of the Board of Educa-
tion and the administrative staff, and
free text books, has been submitted
by Supt. Ballou of the public schools,
at the request of the legislative COM
mittee of the board, to Senator Ball,
chairman of the Senate District COM
mittee.
The Board of Education, DR.. Ballou
says in his letter to Senator Ball, has
directed the legislative committee to
urge the enactment of some of these
measures at the present short session
of Congress.
With reference to the proposed
building program bill, DR.. Bal1ou
says:
Entails Five-Year Program.
This bill carries no appropriations,
but does carry legislative authorize
ton for schoolhouse construction ex-
tending over a period of five years
This is such an important matter that
it will undoubtedly take considerable
attention. 1t may be that it should
be discussed at this session, even
though there may be little hope of Sc
curing its passage. 1t may be that it
should be introduced and allowed to
go over until the next Congress"
Such measure, however, will re-
celve strong support among members
of the Senate District committee, who
have given careful attention to the
problem of the public schools and are
determined, If possible, to make pro-
vision for adequate buildings for the
school children of the District Sena-
tor Ball. Senator Capper, chairman of
subcommittee which investigated
the school situation here, and Senator
King, ranking Democratic member of
the committee, are all greatly inter-
ested in getting such a measure
through.
Compulsory Attendance Urged.
The compulsory school attendance
Dill is already before both houses of
Congress. Senator Capper is intent
upon having it enacted into law DR..
Ballou says of it: This bill is not
likely to provoke any material oppo-
sition, and, in the judgment of the
school officials, should be passed at
this session"
The so-called reorganization bill
has been prepared on the basis of
the report prepared by a joint con-
gressional committee, headed by Sen
ator Capper. 1T has to do with the
power and responsibilities of the
Board of Education" says DR.. Ballou,
and also proposes gradual reor-
ganization OF the administrative and
supervisory staff of the school system

$286,385,578 ASKED
FOR RNAV'S UPKEEP
Appropriations for Mainte-
nance, 12-Month Period,
Carried in House Bill.

Appropriations totaling s2s6,3S5,57S
for maintenance of the Navy during
the 12-month period, beginning
next July 1, are carried in the an
nual Naval bill as reported today to
the House.
The aggregate is ss,21o117 more
than the amount provided for expen-
diture during the current fiscal year
and approximately $1.000,000 less
than budget estimates.
The bill, drafted by an appropria-
tions subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative French, Republican, Idaho,
will be taken up by the House next
week, with leaders planning to send
it to the Senate before Christmas 1t
provides only for Navy activities and
construction already authorized by
law. ard is distinct from measures
proposing expenditures for new fight
ing craft and modernization of ves-
sells.
Maintains Enlisted Strength.
Provision is made in the bill for
continued maintenance of the enlisted
strength of the Navy at $4,000 men
and for 6,S95 line and staff officers
an increase sufficient to take care of
the next graduating class from the
Naval Academy. The enlisted strength
of the Marine Corps would be reduced
from 19,500 to $4,000, the committee
explaining that withdrawal of ma
rines from Santo Domingo makes this
decrease possible. The officer strength
of the Marine Corps would be left at
1907.
Accepting recommendations of the
President and Budget Bureau, the
committee placed in the bill a direct
appropriation of s14,S00.0O0 for naval
aviation and a provision which would
authorize negotiation of contracts for
production and purchase of new air.

of not more than $4,100.000.
Planes Under Construction.
Pointing out that the Navy has un-
der construction two airplane car
riers, one scout cruiser, one subma-
rine tender and nine submarines, in
cluding three fleet submarines, the
committees report said current funds
would finish all these. vessels. with
the exception of the two aircraft car
riers and the three fleet submarines.
The bill proposes s4,S94 900 for fur
ther work on these vessels $4,000
