Favored in Principle.

The council approved in principle
the proposal to allow the people of
the city to elect the board of educa-
ton, but reserved the right to con
slider the details of any specific bills
that may be prepared for Congress on
the question.
The issue came up when Harry n.
Stull submitted a report on the Gas
que bill, which would provide a de-
tailed method of electing the school
board. The council decided that
While it favored the principle, it was
not prepared to pass on the details
of the bill at this time.
In recommending that the council
approve the principle of electing the
schoolboard Mr.. Stuli said it is gen
orally conceded the present method of
having the justices of the District
Supreme Court name the school board
lis erroneous, and because of the fact
of the isolation of the Judiciary. they
are not in a position to know the
school situation generally nor the best
available material for appointment 10
the board"
There also was a clause in the bill
to enlarge the powers of the Commits
sioners which would transfer power
to appoint the board from the judges
to the Commissioners. The council.
having voted for election of the
school board, took no action on this
clause in the Commissioners bill.
Action on Borland Law.
The proposal submitted to the
council by the Commissioners with
regard to the Borland law was that
IL merely be modified so as to relieve
abutting property owners of the as
sessment for resurfd cling a street
after the original pavement wears
out. Councilman George Wales rec
commended however. that the council
seek complete repeal of this assess
ment. and the report was con
CURED in.
When the suggestion to modify the
budget law was under discussion il
was stated by members Of the council
that if Congress continues to appro-
pirate a lump sum toward the annual
,pkeep of the National Capital, con
sideration of District estimates by
the Budget Bureau should be curtailed
but if Congress returns to the time
honored method Of appropriating on
a proportionate ratio the Budget
Bureau supervision over estimates
should continue. 1t was on this basis
of reasoning that the council decided
to Law aside the question of modify
ing the budget law.
The several decisions reached on the
powers of the Commissioners were
based on recommendations by William
s. Torbert. He urged disapproval of
the proposal to allow the city heads
instead of the President to appoint the
judges of the Police, Juvenile and Mu-
nicipal Courts on the following
grounds: That the Commissioners are
parties to litigation in these courts,
that the President has not expressed a
desire to be relieved of the duty of
making these appointments, that it Is
an advantage to the people of the Dis
trict to have the President interested
in local affairs and that the Senate
confirms these judges.

Power of Commissioners.

In considering the proposed bill %
enlarge the powers OF the District
Commissioners. the council arrived al
the following conclusions:
That the Commissioners should no,
appoint the judges OF the Police. Juve-
nile and Municipal Courts, as sug
sested. They are appointed by the
President
That the Commissioners should be
empowered to appoint the recorder OF
deeds and the register Of wills, and
that both these positions should be
filled by bona fide residents OF the Dis
lrict.
That the Commissioners should not
be granted authority now exercised by
Congress TO fix license fees for trades
professions and vocations.
These are only few of the mat
ters over which the proposed bill
would give the Commissioners more
power, but the council adjourned
without completing consideration Of
the measure. The bill Will be taken
UP again tomorrow night.

CHRISTMAS CLUBS
SAVE S4,2O6,S7O
60,047 to Share in Sum to
Be Distributed in Cap
>itaI Soon.
By CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.

The purchasing power of Washing
ton will be swelled by an addition Of
S4,206,S $50 during the next few weeks:
or between December I and Decem-
Der 10. when local banking institutions
release their Christmas Savings Club
funds accumulated during the last IL
months.
This is the largest amount ever
saved in Washington through this
medium. Initiated only few years
ago. it has gained In favor by leaps
and bounds, showing a gain Of more
than Sl,250, 900 over last year.
The greater part of the money will
be used to meet the usual demands of
the holiday season, but no inconsid
cradle sum will find its way back into
permanent savings. According to a
recent survey on the disposition Of
Yuletide moneys. Herbert F. Rawll,
president Of the Christmas Club dis
closed that As per cent of funds thus
accumulated was utilized in Christmas
spending, 2S per cent was redeposited
in permanent savings, II per cent
used III meeting insurance premiums
and in mortgage interest, II per cent
for payment of taxes, and the re-
nnainder, or per cent, being used in
meeting fixed Christmas charges.
Principle Generally Same.
The basic principle of local Christ
mas Savings Clubs is carried on uni
formly. Starting, about December Is
and before January Is, members are
enrolled in the new clubs for the
ensuing year. These accounts are
NJ ho,
or financial institution, and the
members select the class of payment
best suited to their individual re-
quirements. These classes range from
so cents to SO a week, with the life
of the club existing so weeks. There
arc no fines, no dues and all the
money is returned by the holding
bank in one lump two or three weeks
before Christmas.
The American Security and Trust
Co. operated the largest club this
year, having a total of at least s405,-

May Increase Speed Limit.

An amendment officially designat-
ing the system of boulevard high
ways" and "arterial highways" The
"arteriai highways" are merely the
outlying portions of the boulevard
highways" that are already in
operation. on the arterial portion
Director Eldridge may increase the
speed limit, but on the boulevards
the general maximum of 22 miles an
hour cannot be increased.
The amendments adopted yester-
day do not increase the speed on the
arterial highways, but merely define
the stretches on which Mr.. Eldridge
may later do So. And no increased
speed, when decided upon, will be
effective until signs have been
erected.
Out of all the amendments recon-
mended to the Commissioners several
weeks ago by Mr.. Eldridge, only a few
failed TO win the approval of the city
heads.
The proposal that solid-tire trucks
and horse drawn vehicles be kept off
four main highways except when
making deliveries was not finally re-
jected, but was laid aside by the Com
mssioners for further study. This
change drew vigorous opposition from
business men and truck owners, and
the city fathers desire to consider it
carefully before acting.

Held-up Attempted.

The attempt to rob the coal COM
pany was made by a bandit late yes
terday afternoon, who entered the
offices of the concern at 81 y street
and told S. II. Burgess, payma ster, to
hold up his hands. He displayed a
pistol and ordered Burgess to summon
into the Office the Colored man outside
the door who was cranking a truck.
Burgess went to the door, ostensihly
to call the man in, but ran away yell
ing "Policer' at the top of his voice.
The bandit fired one shot and ran
away. The shot missed Burgess.
About o'clock last night a man
entered the store of Protas while the
proprietor and his son were busy at
tending the wants of half a dozen
customers. He bought a handker
chief and as the store gradually
cleared of customers. flashed a pistol
and held up ProtaS and his son while
he went through the cash register. He
got about $125 and fed. Police think
he may have been the same man who
attempted the Chapman robbery.
The Willard Hotel robberies. accred
tied by the police to an entirely differ
ent individual, remained with but a
scant clue for the police last night.
Here a sneak thief, working skillfully,
entered rooms through doors adjoin-
ing his own and obtained a total Of
more than $1,000.
Clyde A Dewitt of New York suf-
fered a loss of approximately 81 400 in
cash and jewelry. while Oscar Setro.
another guest, reported the loss of
somewhat less than S40O in cash and
jewelry.
Little Clue to Thief.
The only clue is the meager identi-
fication of the individual occupying
the room adjoining the room OF the
victims.
Earlier yesterday, another safe
cracking job confronted the police.
Resembling in several aspects the
work of the safe-crackers who got
s425 from the Old Dutch Market, 81
Fourteenth street, earlier in the week,
this operation at the O'Hanlon shop
early yesterday morning netted
thieves S429 in cash and more than
$3.50 in checks. Again, as in the Old
Dutch Market case. and in the case
Of safe-cracking at the National Bis
cult Company, there were no clues.
Late Friday night the hold-up
man. answering the general descrip-
ton as to rather a light stature given
of the chain store grocery bandit,
walked into the Sanitary Grocery
store at 1922 l. street and robbed
Ellis Smith,, manager, of $55. There
was no clue.
Last night Inspector Grant, chief
Of detectives. said he had every man
on the force working on the robberies.
So far they have failed to obtain
single clue to any of them.

Decide Not to Act.

The council decided not TO lake a.
ton at this time on the suggestion
that the Federal budget law be mod
fed in its relation 10 District esti
mates. 1t was the consensus of the
council members that the question OF
fiscal relations between the United
States and District governments is d
more important one to the people OF
the District at this time. and that no
recommendation should be made with
a view TO changing the budget law
until 1t is known how the fiscal ar
rangement is going to be settled.
This was one Of a series of meetings
being held by the council for the pur
pose of shaping a legislative program
TO be recommended to the Commission
ers for action al the coming session
of Congress. It was explained by Of
1iCials of the council last night that
the conclusions being reached in these
meetings are more or less tentative
and may be modified before a com
plete report is made to the Commits
sioners on all pending District legis
lation.

TAX RATES
BRING MORE MONEY
TO FEDERAL PURSE
Report on 1924 Collections
Shows Increase of Prosper
ity and More Rich Payers.

Growing prosperity with an in
creasing number of Americans NOV
Ing into the wealthier classes is re-
vealed by the Governments report,
made public last night, on Federal
taxes paid this year on incomes of
1924.
There was a great falling off in the
number of persons with small in
comes paying taxes, and in the total
amount Of their taxes. But the
swelling number Of wealthier tax
payers and the substantial increase
in their incomes, and in their taxes
paid, sent the total Of Uncle Sans
returns from all individuals over the
top Of total returns for the previous
year by 81 per cent, or a margin of
S25, ,4S2,6 $50.
The number of personal returns
filed up to September 80 of this year,
according to the Bureau of Internal
Revenues preliminary report on
statistics of personal income for 1924.
was 7,298,4S1, the aggregate net in
come $25,023, ,210,S93 and the tax
$3.50, 9,134.1S5. AS compared with the
previous year, this was a decrea Sc
of 399, $40, or 5.4S per cent, in the
number Of returns, but an increase
amounting to s183 ,073 ,529, or .73 per
cent in the total net income, and the
increase of s25.4S2,6 $50. or 81 per
cent, in the total tax.

Parking Abreast Disapproved.


The amendment which would have
permitted vehicles TO stop abreast of
parked machines for ten minutes to
load or unload, allowing the driver to
leave provided he remained within
sight and call" was turned down.
This amendment was sought by mer
chants, but the Commissioners felt the
existing rule on the subject is more
desirable The present regulation al
lows vehicles to park abreast long
enough to load or unload, but requires
the licensed operator to remain in
constant attendance.
None of the changes in the code
adopted yesterday will be effective un-
til the text has been advertised for
ten days. The legal notice probably
will not he published by the Commits
sioners until Tuesday. which would
make the effective date about Decem-
ber 3.
Perhaps the most interesting to the
public generally of all the amend
ments acted on yesterday will be the
new pedestrian regulation, since 1t
represents the first serious attempt
that has been made in Washington for
q number of years TO restrict the
movements of the great army of
walkers. AS amended yesterday, the
pedestrian regulation reads:
pedestrians Shall have the right Of
way at all cross walks except those
controlled by traffic officers and the
traffic devices. at which points
pedestrians shall obey the instructions
of the traffic officer of traffic device.
Pedestrians shall not cross the road
way through moving traffic on any
street upon which traffic is controlled
by electric signal lights
Hopes for Few Arrests.
Col. Moller pointed out last night
that 10 days will elapse before the rule
goes into effect, and that Director Ed
ridge, who was out of the city yester-
day probably will confer with police
officials in the meantime to work out
a plan for enforcement.
Although this pedestrian regulation
will carry as much weight as any
other section of the code, 1t is the hope
of this office that the rule can be made
effective without many arrests" said
Col. Moller. Los Angeles, Calf. has
had a similar regulation in operation
for about eight months, and in all
that time only a dozen walkers have
been arrested. When the trffic officer
notices a pedestrian walking against
the signal he warns him to wait for
the signal to change"
The effect of the regulation. If was
