REAL TORS
Y. M. G. A. Real Estate Class
Told Of Construction
Changes Of Decade

Discussing the, subject Of building
operations before the real estate
class lat the Y. M. g. a., w. q.
N. Her Washington reait0r ana
builder, outlined the development
Of this branch OF real estate
business, which has assumed large
proportions in recent years. Per.
haps. next to the desire to provide
food and clothing, mans most nattI.
raj instinct is to provide a per.
manent shelter
This natural ~longing has been
materially crystallized in recent
years through the development on
national scale OF various so-caHed
own your own home" movements.
This has resulted in greatly In
creasing numbers OF home buyers
and due to the cooperation Of build
ers and architects many new ideas
IA nome construction I have been
developed. The modern new home
orrers almost every possible con-
fVenlence and accommodation and js
constructed along lines that insure
the maximum of sanitary protection.
Referring to the homes OF to.
day Mr.. Miller showed the kitchen,
has been completely revolutioftized
tn the past generation. Formerly
the kitchen was one Of the larger
rooms Of the home and it was used
also as a laundry and sitting room
for domestic help. This is not the
case today where the modern kitchen
Is as compact as is possible and
is designed to offer the maxinlun1
OF facilities and convenience to
the housewife in the preparation OF
food. In reality, it could be pro.
perly called the food laboratory
of the home.
Another noticeable change IL.
houses in the past generation is
found IN the type. size and on.
structions Of the cellar. Formerly.
the average cellar was damp. dirk

and dismal and, with the exception
OF the heating plant and q fuel bin,
ii, offered no other useful purpose.
Today this situation has been com
pIetcly changed and the cellar is
considered one of the most import.
ant parts OF tho home. 1t is~sO con-
structed with upright tiers that the
partition walls, that were formerly
SO much in evidence, are now. com
pletely eliminated. This makes the
cellar more sizeable room, and
with the modern ideas Of Digit and
ventilation, 10 presents q much more
cheerful and attractive appearance.
Modern laundry equipment and IA
cilities will be found In the cellar
instead OF ia the kitchen. and slsu-
ally workshop is maintained by
the owner.
Mr.. Miller recommended that
great care be used in planning a
home, and indicated that special at
tention should not only be given ~
the location and character OF ma
terials used, but that the style Of
architecture should be carefully
considered to insure permanent
value. Fastidious types of houses,
much like ladies' millinery, which
is not used when out Of style, are
not in harmony with established
and well.reGognized types OF acchi-
lecture that insure permanency and
uniformity in the community.
At the next meeting Of the class
the subject OF real estate contracts
and sale settlements will be dis
cussed by A. FL. Lawson, real estate
officer Of the Washington Loan and
Trust Company.

ashington-Thirty major scan
dals in the executive branch of the
federal government under the present
ed in the first chapter of the Pro-
gressive campaign textbook, just
issued here. All of Coolidge's shady
intimacy with Ned Mclean and the
oil grafters is set forth in a page re-
citing the telegram of McLean's chief
editor, Ira Bennett, to Mclean in
Florida, when the senate voted the
cancellation of the oil leases and for
the dismissal of DENLY from the cab
met. The message ran:
"Saw principal. Delivered mess
age. He says greatly appreciates and
sends regards to you and Mrs. Nc
Lean. There will be no rocking of the
boat and no designations. He expects
reaction from unWarranted political
attacks"
The Progressives charge flatly that
Coolidge was "principal' and that he
was pledging Mclean that DENLY
would not be kicked out. They cite
the secret visit Of Bascom Slemp,
Coolidge's secretatry, to Mclean in
Florida at that time, and the appeal
Of Mclean to his lawyer, Homer, to
arrange "quick and easy access to the
White House"

Tried Eleven Times
To Enter the u. s.

Bremerhaven, Germany - Paul
Krupp, Is years old, is now in Jail
here for ten weeks because of his per-
sistent endeavors to reach the United
States as a stowaway. Each one of
eleven endeavors has resulted in
failure.
But Paul is not discouraged. He
says he will next try to ship from
Hamburg, where he is not so we'll
known. He prefers American ships
for his ventures because the officers
are easier on stowaways than men of
other nationality. He is striving to
reach Springfield, Ohio where he
claims to have friends.
Young Krupp is typical of scores
of German youngsters who haunt the
docks at Bremerhaven and seek an
opportunity to slip into ships bound
for the United States. Paul has been
trying for three years, and is we'll
known to the emigration authorities
at New York. They promptly send
him back on the ship that brought
him over. During his last trip back
on the President Roosevelt, he paint
ed all the machinery on the main
deck.

FORGOT THEM
CIVILIAN Federal
EMPLOYEES
And 12-HOur Day Government Serv-
ice Not Mentioned by the Presi-
dent in Labor Day Talk

Washington-In his Labor day
speech the president expressed pleas
ure at what he termed the "abolition"
Of the 12-hour day and seven-day
week in the steel and box board in
dustries, and now President Steward
Of the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees tells him he overlook
ed the 12-hour day and the seven-day
week in the government service.
In an open letter, President Stew
ard reminded the chief executive that
the 12-hour day and seven-day week
exists "for many civilian employees,
such as the tenders of government
locks, keepers of lighthouses and
many custodial employees"
Objection is recorded by the trade
union executive to the presidents s
statement that zone of the outstand-
ing features of the present day is
that American wage earners are liv-
ing better than at any other time in
our history" and that the standard of
living, in terms Of money, "is now
only SO per cent above the level Of
1913"
"These are grimly tragic words to
the thousands of federal employees
whose average increase in pay since
1913 has not exceeded 25 per cent and
who have had to carry the difference
by lowering their standard Of living
or other equally un-American eXpe-
NJ, cold
"May we ask what steps you, Mr..
President, as chief executive of bus
mess employing more than half d
million civilian workers, are taking to
bring the wage level of the employees
under your charge up to point rea-
sonably comparable with the increas-
ed cost of living?"
President Steward declared that
civilian federal employees are alive to
their obligation to remain faithful to
their appointed tasks, depending up
on reason and argument to obtain re-
dress for their grievances. "This GER
tainly implies a like obligation upon
their employer to deal fairly by
them," the trade unionist said.
''ln view of your statement to the
workers of the United States" con-
tinued Mr.. Steward, eve urge upon
you to recommend to the congress at
its next regular session the immedi-
ate taking of such legislative steps
as may be necessary to adjust the
compensation and working conditions
of the low-paid civilian federal en-
ployes in accordance with recognized
standards and the existing cost of
living.
can expression of such intention
from you at this time would be most
heartening to the army of civilian
workers who have been penalized by
the mounting cost of living without
adequate recognition from the en-
ployer whom they have so faithfully
served"

COMPROMISE ON TAX
BELIEVED CERTAIN
Mellon Rates Face Defeat Before
Combine of Democrats and
Insurgents.
VETO THOUGHT UNLIKELY
President Expected to Accept
Measure, as Time Presses.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

AS the climax of the tax revision
fight approaches in the Senate, the
administration has become convinced
at last that the rates proposed by
Secretary Mellon cannot be adopted.
Instead, the President will have to
be content with a compromise be-
tween extremes. And he will be com
PEELED to sign the bilB presented to
him, for there is no chance of modifi-
cation. even if he should veto the
measure. Sentiment in Congress has
crystalliZed. No amount of pressure
from the administration can alter a
Democrats and insurgent Republicans
holds the real power.
The Senate is about to vote on a
series of amendments. Senator Smoot
chairman of the finance committee. is
starting exactly the way Representa-
tive Longworth, Republican leader,
did in the House. He is endeavoring
to get a record vote on the Mellon
rates and will be content to get
through that kind of a bill which
represents the mean between two ex-
tremes. The Democrats and inSurgent
Republicans have combined to sup
port rates much higher with respect
to alrge incomes than Mr.. Mellon
recommended and much lower rates
SO far as persons of smaller incomes
proposed by the administration.
Politics Victorious.
The battle between sound econom-
les, as represented by Secretary Mel,
lon, and good politics, as reflected by
majorities in both the Senate and
House, has been won by the latter.
Mr.. Melloris idea that rich and poor
alike would ultimately benefit by a
scientifically applied tax system has
been rejected in favor of a scheme
which reduces slightly the burden on
the wealthy, put materially cuts the
taxes of individuals with incomes
up to $4,000 and $4,000 a year
There are ever so many more voters
in the latter group. Fear that re-
ductions granted the wealthy would
be the subject of criticism on the
stump has prevailed in Congress.
Mr.. Melons own position has been
vulnerable, for while, If analysed to
the last detail, it would be found that
he is not affected very much by any
bill passed, the impression has been
spread by his opponents nat he would

large income with whom he has been
affiliated.
Bonus Issue Involved.
The discussion of the bonus has had
deterring effect, too. The belief that
the bonus would cost a good deal more
than has been estimated is a con-
trolling influence. Congress is in a
spending rather than a saving mood.
Mr.. Coolidge in his New York speech
pointed to the number of measures
seriously pressed which If approved
would require just double the entire

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2S.-The
United States Navy will stay out of
the governments fight against rum
runners as long as Secretary Wilbur
is at its head. The Navy Depart
ment has no intention of mixing in
the effort of the government to stop
rum running, the Secretary declared
I'VE are going to be careful to
avoid the crusade against the liquor
smugglers. The business of stopping
them is police duty and not Navy
duty.
Congress has recently authorized
the conversion of a number OF de-
stroyers into a feet of rum running
vessels and we are anxious to CO.
operate with the coast guard service
in turning over to them these boats.
That is, in fact. my chief purpose
in visiting the navy yard here. 1 un-
derstand there are a number of
the destroyers in the yard.
The duty of patrolling the coast
against the rum fleets is on the
shoulders solely of the coast guards
The Navy will steer clear of pure DO
lice work. However, we are willing
to cooperate with the coast guards

A ray of hope for the entombed
men was given this afternoon when
rescue workers found two miners
near an airshaft. They were suffer
ing from burns and gas, but the spark
of life was not extinct and the rescu-
ers redoubled their efforts in the: hope
that others would be found alive.
The shaft was sunk only recently
TO afford better circulation of air in
the mine. It is located far back from
the main entry. Rescue experts
pointed out that if any of the en-
tombed men reached the vicinity of
the shaft and put up brattices to keep
out the dreaded afterdamp, there was
a possibility that they would be
brought out alive.
The two men found at the foot of
the air shaft died before they could
be brought to the surface Two
bodies, badly charred, were found in
a mine motor $500 feet from the
entry, bringing the number of known
dead to four.
The rescue crew of the United
States bureau of mines made a hasty
inspection of the workings as soon
as they reached Benwood from Pitts
burgh. They expressed. the opinion
that few, if any Of the miners. would
be brought out alive. Those who es-

COMPROMISE NEARER
ON ALIEN BILL ISSUE
President Understood to Have Of
fered Compromise in Talk
With Johnson.
PROPOSAL NOT PUBLISHED
Regarded as Involving Delay on
Date of Exclusion Act.

The move for a compromise between
the executive and legislative branches
of the government on the question Of
Japanese exclusion provided for in the
immigration bill passed by the House
and Senate was carried forward at a
conference today between President
Coolidge and Chairman Johnson of the
House immigration committee.
The conference. held at the request
of the President, preceded an
other meeting of the Senate and
House conferees on the immigration
bill, and was a follow-up of the
Presidents talk Saturday with Senator
Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, who
had charge of the bill in the Senate.
The impression prevailed after the
meeting today that Mr.. Coolidge, con-
sulting with Secretary Hughes, had
advanced a proposal which he believed
would satisfy the advocates of ex-
clusion and avoid any affront to japan.
was withheld, but the suggestion was
heard in some official quarters that it
involved postponement of the effective
date of Japanese exclusion, with asSur-
ances from the executive branch of the
government that negotiations could be
entered into with Japan with fair pros
pect of success to bring about through
diplomacy the ends sought in the bill
Some members of the conference
committee reiterated after today's
meeting that the committee CT aid
not even consider any propose. to
modify the exclusion features of the
bill, inasmuch as the Senate and
House both had approved them.
Hughes Visits Coolidge.
Nevertheless indications of a move
in that direction were seen in other
quarters. After his conference with
Chairman Johnson, President Cool
idge talked with Secretary Hughes
and with Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, Republican leader of the
Senate.
Processing conviction that neither
the conference committee nor the
White House would attempt to alter
the bill, Senator Shortridge, Repub-
lican, California, announced today he
would make a personal plea to Presi-
dent Coolidge against executive in
reference He had prepared an ex-
haustive brief setting forth the argu-
ments in support of an absolute bar
to Asiatic immigration, which he will

BERGDOLL'S ABSENCE
WORRIES RELATIVES
Draft Evader Leaves in Auto With
Armed Companions-Trip to
u. S. Doubted.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
EBERBACH, Baden, April 2S.-The
relatives of Grover Cleveland Berg
doll are somewhat anxious regarding
the whereabouts of the American
draft evader, who left here April s
fo- an automobile trip without giving
a hint to any one where he was
going. Bergdoll was accompanied
by several armed companions, but no
member of the party has sent any
word back since it's departure.
Bergdolls relatives assert that he
never tells them his plans before
starting on trips, and they assume he
possibly went to Switzerland. They
say all his personal effects are
still here and they do not believe he
has started for America. Chauffeur
Ike Stecher, who has been planning
to return to America if Bergdoll
should go back, is still in Eberbach
and expresses belief that Bergdoll
will return here within week or
so. There is bushel or so of mail
and kilograms here awaiting Berg
doll
