Pershing's Lapse
Forgiven; Wildly
Cheered by ID. Il. r

Whatever else might be said in
favor of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, at least
they showed themselves to be of
a forgiving nature last night
Last year, it may be remem-
bered, Gen. John J. Pershing left
them more or less waiting at
the church" After he had been
listed as one of the principal
speakers of the evening, he failed
to show up and the delegates
were obliged to find other means
of entertainment
When the general was intro
duced last night, however, his re-
ception was even more tumultuous
than that given to President Cool
idge. The audience applauded,
cheered and stamped their feet
for two or three minutes, while
the gallant general stood beside
the president general, blushing
handsomely.

OPPOSE MORE POWER
FOR COM MISSIONERS
Piney Branch Citizens Hold Pro-
posed Measure Would Be
Detrimental to City.
PLAN FLOWER SHOW
Sheriff. to Apply Few Restrictions
in Parks.
FLOWER
SHOW

Declaring that the proposed bill to
give increased power to the District
commissioners merely would increase
the arbitrary form of government in
the District-due to the lack of the
vote and a representative form of
government-the Piney Branch Citi-
zens Association, meeting in the
Iowa Avenue NJ. L. Church last night,
went on record as unanimously op-
posed to the measure.
Edgar B. Henderson, president of
the association, said the bill would
give to the Commissioners the power
ordinarily exercised by a city coun-
Gil, but without making the former
responsible to the people.
George A Finch, who introduced
the resolution, said the bill was badly
drawn, that it confused the authority
to regulate fire escapes with the ap-
pointment of judges He added that
if the bill were passed it would take
away from the people of the District
what little form of representation
they now have-the right to appear
before CongreSs-because the Com
rnissioners would be given absolute
power.
Calls Proposal Unwise.
Maj. w. o. Tufts said the proposed
legislation would give the Commits
sioners legislative, judicial and exec
utive powers. The vesting of such
vast powers in any body of men would
be unwise," he said.
A resolution was adopted to hold
flower show, under the auspices of the
association, this spring, and another
resolution was passed to have the
school committee investigate the fea-
sibility of having spring school holi-
days begin Monday before Easter and
continue until the Tuesday after
Easter
Col. C. o. Sheriff., in a brief ad-
dress. said that as few restrictions
would be placed on the usage of the
parks by the public this year as pos
sible. II want to give the public
freedom of the parks, with as few
don't signs posted as possible" he
said. However" he added. "every-
nody will be treated alike; there are
coing to be no special privileges for
certain individuals. All signs that
are posted in the parks will have to
be strictly obeyed." Col Sheriff. ap-
proved the plans for the extensive
development of the parks in the Dis
trict.

NON-SKID TIRE TESTED.
Officials and Others See Demonstra
tion on Streets.

Demonstrations of new auto
mobile cord tire, differing from other
tire constructions in that the ends
of the cords protrude through the
carcass of the tire where it adheres
to the pavement, were given by fac
tory men representing New England
manufacturers yesterday. In tests
held on Sd street northwest, south of
Pennsylvania avenue, the new tire
was shown to be practically skid
proof, even on a wet pavement. The
automobile used had two wheel brakes
and no skidding or side-swaying was
noted even on slippery streets A
demonstration was also given of
turning corner at high speed.
Officials of the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association, under
whose auspices the tests were held,
attended the demonstrat ton, during
which calculations were taken as to
the tractive properties of the new tire
by experts of the bureau of standards
with a machine which recorded the
number of feet travelled before the
car was stopped after the brakes
were applied. Others who witnessed
the tests included Representative A.
T. Treadway of Massachusetts,, NJ. o.
Eldridge of the American Automobile
Association, Thomas H. Mcdonald,
chief of the bureau of public roads,
and Washington police and fire offi.

The drinking scene in Olivia's home,
which eventually brings Malvolio in
a rage to storm at Sir Toby and his
boon companion, is a gem in itself.
In Malvolio's soliloquy, his prison
scene, and, finally, his remuneration OF
Lady Olivia's service, Mr.. Sothern won
unstinted praise. That the produc-
ton is admirably staged goes with
out saying, and the final curtain falls
on Feste, the clown, Singing-aS he
does at several other places in the
play--in a clear and tuneful voice.
At the opening Mr.. Sothern made a
brief address expressing regret at the
inability of Miss Marlowe to appear
and suggesting that those who might
be dissatisfied with the production on
that account could have their money
returned at the box Office.
Tonight Hamlet" will be given,
with Miss Fair cast as Ophelia in

WAY IS CLEARED FOR ADOPTION
 OF BONUS BILL
No Opposition Develops In Three-HOur Debate
 In The Senate

WASHINGTON. April 19.-The in- surance soldier bonus bill was advanced rapidly in the Senate today in it's first real test there and tonight the a atmosphere apparently had cleared suf- ficiently to assure its passage without serious contest early next week.
 Democratic spokesmen indicated they would not press their proposal for imclu- sion in the bill of a full cash payment option in the face of insistent sup port for the pending measure by both republican leaders and the American Legion.
 This stand was taken by democrats after Senator Watson, republican, h. diana, had told Senator Robinson, Ar kansas, the democratic leader, that some republicans had told President Coolidge they would vote to override q veto if he should order one on the pending measure, but that they would vote to sustan veto if the cash opinion were incorporated.
 Likewise. Commander Quinn of the American Legion, in message sent to each senator, urged support for the pending insurance bill on the grounds that 1t could be passed oyer a presi- dential rxeto but that c6mbinA ton cash and insurance proposition could not. A careful poll of the Senate had shown such situation, Mir. Quinn con tended.
 Senator Curtis, republican, Kansas, in charge of the bill, did say in re- ply that he believed the insurance meas ure had better chance of obtaining presidential approval than would the cash and insurance proposition.
 With brief debate the Senate adopt ed almost score of minor amend ments to the House bill proposed by the finance committee Senator Jones, democrat, New Mexico, announced he would propose some other amendments of d technical nature. Aside from these the way practically was cleared today for passage of the bill.
 During the more than three hours of debate, not a speech in opposition to the bonus was made, the controversy centerins on the proposal for cash option.

 No demurrer to the government bill, or any other form of motion having been filed by the Mammoth except that contained in it's answer. the issue be- tween the government and the holder of the Teapot Dome lease is joined and the case will be set for hearing in ac- cordance with the rules of equity plead ing.
 Should the governments bill be grant ed and the Teapot Dome lease be an- nulled, the Mammoth's answer asserts that the corporation should be reim- bursed for the $5.O0O.000 it has spent in development ok the lease and for all obligations assumed in connection with the lease.
