during the short session OF Congress
just closed an important program of
Legislation for the District had been
put through, including the school
building bill. the traffic law, and the
street car merger law. He attributed
this success in getting through legis-
lation to the adoption of the plan of
considering measures for the Dis
triet by joint Senate and House COM
mittees and he insisted that this plan
should be continued. If possible. He
said he intended to take the matter
up with Representative Zihlman of
Maryland, new chairman T the House
District committee, when the proper
time arrives.
But while we got through a large
number of bills for the District and
put through much more adequate ap-
preparations than in past Congresses,
said Senator Capper, there were
other important measures that failed,
among them the public welfare bill
and the insurance code bill. Both
should have been enacted into law.
They were carefully thought out and
carefully prepared. Perhaps their
failure was due to the rules of the
Senate against which Vice President
Dawes directed his criticism few
days ago.
People Wanted Measure.
1.-The public welfare bill was great
| ly desired by the people here; 1t
passed the House and could have
passed the Senate but for the objec-
| ton of one Senator. Undoubtedly 1T
will be reintroduced and put through
in the next Congress. But its failure
| means a loss of time. With the or
dinary city board, such measure
would have been disposed of quickly.
But under our system measures lie
around for months and months before
| they get a chance to come up. The
insurance code bill was very impor-
tant, too. Every city of any size in
! the country has a proper insurance.
But the District code is antiquated ID
and needs to be overhauled. We had
finally framed the bill so that it was
suitable to all parties concerned, but
il failed because Congress could not
get time to handle it"
Senator Capper said that in his opin-
ion the salaries of the District Com
missioners should be increased with the
increased responsibilities which he
would place upon them. Their salaries
even now are inadequate, he said.
VIII Confer on Program.
Next Fall. when Congress meets, II
possible ! will seek conference with
the Commissioners and with citizens
here in an effort to frame a program
Of legislation for the District" Senator
Capper continued. II am opposed to a
division Of effort, and think that we
should concentrate upon few things
Of the first Importance. 1t Is such a
program that should be outlined"
The new chairman of the Senate Dis
trict committee believes firmly that the
Federal Government should contribute
its fair share to the upbuilding and the
upkeep of the National Capital. He
stood out with the other Senators for
increasing the Federal lump sum ap-
preparation for the District carried in

year 1s26 to sli ,000. .00o.

DEPUTY BADLY
HURT IN FIGHT WITH
RUM RUNNER

Bangor, Me-. Aug. 30-(AP)-Dep-
uty Sheriff Dave Cowan Of Piscata-
quis county was attacked and severe
ly beaten Saturday night by two men
who are supposed to be rum runners
whom he had pursued.
The chase began in Piscataquis
county, and when tho fugitives, who
travelled in a fast public car, escaped
into Somerset county, Cowan gave
up pursuit and was returning home
when at a locality in the town of
Cambridge, known as Jimmy Brook,
he found the road closed by a series
OF bars. Getting down to remove the
bars, the deputy was attacked by two
men who came out of the bushes,
and who beat him with clubs stud
ded with nails.
He was badly cut and bruised on
the face and arms, and an artery in
his left wrist was severed. When
having knocked him down, the at
tackers desisted and drove away,
Cowan went to the home of Edward
Chadbourne nearby and remained
there until morning. He can give no
good description of the men, but
noticed that their car carried the let
ter @" with its number, indicating a
public car. Search is being made for
the men.

N. E. Jews Protest
Proposed Colony
In Soviet Russia

Boston, Aug. 30-(AP)-A resolu-
ton condemning the proposal to
raise s15,0O0000 for the establish
me1t of Jewish agricultural Colo
nies in Soviet Russia was adopted by
the New England Zionist executive
committee and forwarded to promi-
nent Jews in New York. it was an
nounced today. The resolution, pro-
posed by Elihu d. Stone, assistant
U. S. Attorney and president of the
New England Zionist region. who
said that the proposal. which is
meeting the approval OF the Boil
shevik government should not be
accepted, as no security can be Of
fered a government that is enslav-
ing the Jewish people and "challeng-
ing God himself"
The resolution was in reply to the
proposal made by Lewis Marshall OF
New York and David Brown, both
leaders of the joint distribution
committee of America to raise the
money for Russian agricultural col
onies. The reply set forth that the
New England region views with
disfavor the contemplated appear
and that 1t is the conviction of the
committee that neither peace nor
security can be offered to the Jew
ish people in Bolshevik Russia by
the proposed scheme to invest mill
ions OF Jewish public funds in a
country which lacks stability and
where Judaism is unsafe and where
the Jewish soul Is enslaved."
The resolution concludes: THAT
with reference to relief in form of
colonization on the soil, the Jewish
people can only recognize one place
and that place Is Palestine"

Along Line Fuel Economy

Announcement Is made of the ap-
pointment by Gov. Brewster of James
c. Boyd Of Falmouth as a member of

suggested at a recent conference at
Boston called by Gov. Alan T. Fuller
of Massachusetts. John Hays Ham
mond of Massachusetts is the chair
man of the general committee.

the executive department that the du-
ties of the committee are to keep the
public informed as to the fuel situa-
tion and to assist in educational
measures along the line of fuel econ
omy. 1t is also stated that anthracite
coal is undoubtedly the most expen-
sive fuel in general use and adds ma
terially to the high cost of living.
New England must sooner or later
gain its freedom, as anthracite coal
costs are bound to steadily increase
because of the limitation Of the sup
ply.

conducted farm in this state and is
now the president of the E. Corey

Asks Public to
Help in Prolonging
Life Dollar Bills

Washington, Aug. 30.-(AP)-The
public was asked today by the Unit
ed State bureau efficiency to use the
least possible number of dollar bills
in making change and SO decrease
the present tendency toward an
awkward" use of money.
Declaring that the chief mistake
Of the public was in the excessive"
use of one-dollar bills, it urged es-
recially the more general use of two
dollar bills, the avoidance of which
appears to "be based on a mere su-
l.erstition coming down from old
gamblin gdays that the two dollar
bill is unlucky."
If the public will revise its meth
DDS in using money, the bureau de-
clared, it will increase the efficiency
Of banks and save the government,
and therefore the taxpayers, per-
haps a million dollars a year now
used in printing many small denom-
ination bills.
