BY the Associated Press

PARIS, July lit was said in Of
ficial circles today with reference to
Washington's clarification of the
American Government position re-
garding a Chinese conference, that
exchanges of views are being made
continually between Washington and
Paris, as between other capitals, re-
garding the Chinese situation. officials
added that eventual action will be
taken by the governments which
signed the nine-power treaty at Wash
fngton, but that no special note for
the particular edif1cation of the
French foreign Office is identifiable
among the various notes that have
been received regarding the situation.
Recent dispatches from Paris in
dicated a French misapprehension of
the American Governments purposes
with regard to a Chinese conference.
AS a result, it was announced from
Washington the American Govern
ment had conveyed TO all interested
powers specific information of the
American attitude)
French officials said the subjects
scheduled for consideration by the
Washington treaties naturally will be
dealt with In accordance with those
treaties. Other questions. they said.
such as the Shanghai strike situation,
probably will be considered separately

BUREAU OF TRAFFIC
TO MOVE QUARTERS
Will Occupy 1412-1414 Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Early in
August.

The Traffic Bureau of the Police
Department, which is visited daily by
hundreds of citizens, will move early
in August from its present inconven-
lent quarters. on the third floor of the
Graham Building at Fourteenth and
E streets, to the first floor of the Gov.
ernment property, at 1412-1414 Penn
sylvania avenue, Commissioner Fen
ming announced today.
The announcement today Is the re-
suit of negotiations which Commits.
sioner Fenning has been carrying on
with the Treasury Department for
several days, having become con-
vinced that the present location was
not suitable for the Traffic Bureau.
Commissioner Fenning also an
nounced that the officials Of the Traf.
fic Bureau are endeavoring to work
out a system of handling the issuance
Of automobile permits that will save
much time for the many persons who
apply for them. The Commissioner
believes the moving Of the bureau to
the proposed location will simplify
greatly the task of obtaining a permit.
At the present time it is necessary
for motorists to go to the third floor
Of the Graham Building to make ap-
plication for a permit and take the
oral examination. Then they must
return to the street for the driving
demonstration, after which they trek
back to the third floor to obtain the
permit.
The decision to ask the Treasury
Department for the new quarters was
reached by Commissioner Fenning
after consultation with Traffic Direc-
tor Eldridge and Inspector e. w.
Brown, in charge of the Traffic
Bureau.

MACF FARLAND HIGH
BIDS EXCEED FUND
City Heads Meet Short
School Appropriation
Twice in Week.

For the second time within week
bids received by the Commissioners
for school building construction ex-
ceeded the available appropriation
when proposals were opened at the
District Building yesterday afternoon
for erection Of a new wing and an
auditorium at the Macfarland Junior
High School.
The appropriation for the new wing
is 1925, 900 and the lowest bid re-
ceived yesterday was s172 900. The ap-
preparation for the auditorium was
100000 and the lowest bid was
S105. 700.
Only a few days ago bids were
opened for a new Manor Park School
and were found to be substantially
higher than the amounts made avail
able by Congress.
While the Commissioners have not
studied the new bids 1t is probable
that the plans for the wing and
auditorium will have TO be revised
before the Commissioners can hope
to award a contract.
Engineer Commissioner Bell pointed
out Tuesday that the experience in
the case of the Manor Park School
indicated that Congress should give
the Commissioners more leeway in
fixing the costs of buildings in order
to avoid the delay which results when
bids exceed appropriations.

Commander Frye.

A. ". Frye. supreme commander
of the Maccabees, in addressing a.
meeting today Of committees prepar~
ing for the opening of the Macca bee-
convention here Monday, made the.
unique declaration that he and his.
fraternal brothers were not going TO-
ask any favors Of Washington or it's
officials even for garden seeds.
There will be more than 10000
Maccabees in Washington by Monday
and we will probably establish a
precedent by not asking for anv-
thing" he declared. I'VE don't want,
to get a resolution passed through
Congress, and we don't want q lot
of free seeds, and we don't want any
favors from the Government. We
are here for the business Of promoting
fraternalism and TO discourag ge paters
nalism. There is alreay too much
paternalism in the Government now.
and I am sorry to say that a great

Fraternalism tends for an ex-

upon an overburdened Government.

the greatest forces for spreading the

Hanley of 1928 East Capitol street.
Both were charged with sale and pos
session of Intoxicating liquor.
This was the second raid within a
month at the Eleventh street house
by Capt. Burlingame, assisted by De-
tecuVe Howard Ogle and other mem
bers OF the fourth precinct command.
The officers went to the place yester-
day prepared for any emergency. but
the only change from the previous
raid was that they had to smash their
way through four barred doors, in
stead of two, they reported
Police believe an electric buzzer at
tached to one of the doors gave the
occupants warning of the arrival of
the raiding party and an opportunity
to destroy some Of the bottled beer.
A chemical analysis is being made to
determine If the beer confiscated con-
tain an Illegal content of alcohol.
Counsel for the defendants, it is
said, plan to question the right of
police TO batterdown doors in making
the raid. Doors have been smashed
on numerous other raids, however, it
IS stated, but Police Court judges
passed upon the incident as not
coming within their Jurisdiction.
