Mrs. Willebrandt Defends Depart

of Prohibition.
HITS "REsPECTABLE" CLASS
Half of Violations Laid to Citizens
Rated as Highest.
By the Associated Press.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, April 24.-De-
claring there is a tendency to blame the
Department of Justice when cases are
not properly handled, Mrs. Mabel w.
Willebrandt, assistant attorney general,
in an address before the chamber of
commerce yesterday, said it should be
remembered that, while the department
has charge of prosecuting all federal
cases, the collecting of evidence gen
orally depends upon other departments.
particularly the Treasury Department.
Mrs Willebrandt said that $4,000 or
so. .000 cases coming before the depart
ment last year were liquor cases and
half of these should have been pre-
vented by the observance Of law on
the part of ''reSpecta bIe'' citizens. Char
acterizing the scandal in Washington
as merely a cluster of sores on the
body politics, she declared the indif-
ference to law observance is "a malady-
from which may come the death of the
country.
when you hear il said that the De
partment Of Justice goes only after hip
pocket vioators remember that part of
the responsibility at least is up to the
Treasury Department.

the wild life (games and fur-bearing
animalS-birds, fish and plantS) re-
sources Of the United States; the
scenic resources of the United States,
and major possibilities of national CO.
operation in promotion of recreation.
Under the laSt-named topic, the fol-
lowing questions will be especially
considered:
Formation of advisory councils on
outdoor recreation: closer correlation
ganization; closer correlation of agen-
cieS other than federal, and corela tion
with federal agencies; formulation of
an educational program for ourdoor
recreation, promotion and coordination
of game preservation, and survey and
classification of recreation resources.
Seek National Policy.
This is not an effort to federaliZe
recreation at the expense of state,
municipal, local or private interest
therein. Individual effort should at
all times be encouraged. Many OF
these interests, however, though
working generally toward the same
end, do not attain the maximum re-
suits because there is no co-ordina-
ton.
"It will be the object of this con-
ference, therefore, to assist in form
ing a national policy which Will CO.
ordinate all these activities. The
prime objective for which 1 feel we
should strive is to endeaVor to make
available to the average American
outdoor recreation, with all that 1T
implies. and to preserve our facllitles
for outdoor recreation for our chill
dren and our children's children.

BERLIN BACKS DAWES
REPORT IN ENGLISH
Discrepancies in French Text Said

BY EDGAR ANsEL MOwRER.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1924
BERLIN, April 24.-No modifica-
tions, and an English text. This sums
up the German attitude toward the
Dawes report, which is unqualifiedly
accepted.
The German government is alarmed
at the discrepancies developing be-
tween the English and French treaty
texts. The official German transla-
ton, which is ready for publication,
is based exclusively on the English
text
The extent of discrepancies be-
tween the two texts is astonishing
most important matters, such as sane
tions. The correspondent is informed
that the German government will re-
fuse any invitation to negotiate
revision of the report in the slightest
detail.
The government already is prepar-
ing the mass of legislation necessary
for the creation of the railroad com,
pany provided by the Dawes plan and
also for the new bank. This leglSla-
ton will be submitted in block TO
the Reichstag.
AS some of the measures are revo-
lutionary, constitutional amendments
requiring a two thirds majority vote
in the Reichstag, will be necessary:
The CORRESPONDENT believes that
should the Reichstag fail to give the
government the necessary majority
the chancellor would again dissolve
the subordinate body and hold new
elections or else submit acceptance
of the Dawes plan to the country for
a. popular referendum

RULING is SOUGHT
ON PARKING ABREAST
Commissioners Want Validity OF
Important Traffic Regula-
ton Decided.

The District Commissioners today
took the first step toward getting a
decision from the higher courts on
the validity of the traffic regulation,
which prohibits a motorist from
parking his automobile abreast of
another machine on the street.
The city heads, it became known
have sent a letter to Judge John p.
Mcmahon of Police Court, asking him
if he will render a decision on the
merits of the regulation in order that
they may have it passed on by the
District Court of Appeals.
1t is understood the letter Of the
Commissioners cited three recent
cases of violations of this rule that
were dismissed in Police Court. They
are reported to have asked that a
test case be decided in such way
that il could be appealed.
The Commissioners regard the
regulation as one of the most i'm
portant in the traffic code, believing
that the parking of two machines
abreast in the crowded downtown
section not only adds to congestion,
but constitutes a dangerous situation.
They are confident they had ample
authority for enacting 1t.

LEXINGTON, Ky, April 24.-Three

of home economics at the University

their designations to Thomas 2. Coo

professor of foods and nutrition.
The policies of the university have

Sweeny and Miss Eichelberger said

I've believe in home economics as

have the opportunity to study nutri-
ton and other practical phases of

GASOLINE TAX, TAKES
BUS FARE INCREASE
SIS, 900 to Be Cut From Revenue of
Company Without Benefit
Of Reciprocity.

Although the Public Utilities Com
mission has just granted the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company an in
creased rate of fare. it developed to-
day that the adoption of the gasoline
tax law as a means of getting auto
mobile reciprocity with Maryland will
offset the increase in motor bus reve-
nue. to the extent of $4,000 a year. In
cidentally, the busses operate entirely
within the District and so will not
benefit from reciprocity.
The tax of . cents a gallon on gaso-
line also will increase the cost of bus
operation by the two street railway
companies, which are now operating
a total of eight bus lines.
1t was estimated today that if the
Rapid Transit Company buys the new
busses of improved type to replace
those expected to wear out this year
the company may still show a deficit
with the increased fare of 10 cents
cash or three tokens for 25 cents.

Members of the commission indicat-
ed today that they have not made up
their minds on the telephone case and
there was nothing to indicate that a
reduction is contemplated. Their
ultimate decision, however, will de-
pend on the legal opinion rendered
by Mr.. stephens and on the figures

as to the return now being earned

himself, didn't care in a general way
whether hair was bobbed or not
and if the luckless bobbed could come
in the classroom with blow-away hair
tight, he was willing enough not to
stick to the letter of the regulation.
Some of the teachers acquiesced to
this, but others refused. They de-
clared that nobody had any right to
tell them how to put up or cut Off
their hair. that they'd rather go 10

bill
Those who voted against committee
approval were Clarke, Republican,

Others, with the exception of Ward,

Unsuccessful efforts were made to
proposal. BY a vote of l6 to the
committee rejected the Norris Sin
clair bill and voted down, 16 to 2. the
Voigt bill, which would set up a
corporation to sell wheat abroad. The
so-called Yoakum plan, as embodied
by viva voce vote.
Many Changes In Bill.
The McNary- Haugen measure comes
from the committee with numbers OF
provisions sponsored by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
AS reported, il would provide for
creation of a corporation with capital
of $500. 100000. supplied by the gov
ernment, to promote the sales abroad
or surplus farm products, live stock,
as well as grain and cotton. Affairs
of the corporation would be handled
by nVe directors, one to be the Secre-
tary of Agriculture. and the others to
be appointed by the President, who
would be required to give representa-
tion to all sections of the country.
Provides Price Fixing.
The corporation would seek TO
establish prices for various farm
products that would bear the same
ratio to about 400 basic commodities
as they did during the ten years prior
to the world war.
Under the original bill such prices
were to be fixed monthly, but q COM
mittee amendment would enable the
corporation to determine them for
longer periods. To aid in mainte-
nance of such prices, the President
have authority to declare embargoes
on farm commodities or to put into
effect increased tariff duties. One OF
the important committee changes was
one which would do away with the
requirement that the corporation pay
farmers for their products partly in
scrip. AS reported the bill would pro-
vide SO that the corporation could
either use scrip or pay entirely in
cash. making allowance for cost OF
marketing and probable losses.
