REAL ISSUES HIDDEN.
Marx and Ebert Succeed in Fight
IN Conservatives

By Radio to The star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN, January S.-Chancellor
Marx and President Ebert are trying
everything to prevent the formation
of a conservative government, and
they have so far succeeded.
The present attempt of the chan
cellor to form a bureaucrats' or gov
eminent employees cabinet would
seem to be the last, however. If it
fails, Herr Marks own position will
probably be compromised.
The Importance of these endless
and tiresome negotiations is that a
Liberal or middle party cabinet will
be more pleasing to the entente and
will keep the burden of taxation
generally distributed A Conserva-
tive or burgher cabinet will possibly
be less pleasing to the entente and
will certainly shift the tax burden
from big industry and the land own
ers to the consumers.
Yet, although every one under
stands the real issues, no one speaks
of them. The Catholic center party.
moreover, cannot allow the school
control to pass into the hands of the
strongly Protestant Lutheran Ma
tionalists, who might attack the
Catholic institutions.
The Communists are on the out
side. They merely demand an am
nesty for the seven thousand-odd
members of their party who are lying
in prison for so-called political
crimes.
Today is the twenty-fourth day
Germany has been without a cabinet.

DISTRICT FUND BILL
NEAR COMPLETION
Largest Budget in History to
Be Reported to House
Early Next Week.

Late this afternoon or tomorrow
morning the subcommittee which is
rafting the District appropriation
bill for the fiscal year beginning July
l next expects to complete the task
of marking up the bill for changes
made, Increasing or decreasing or
eliminating various items recon-
mended by the Budget Bureau.
The snowstorm has delayed the sub
committee on the very important
work of making a personal tour OF
inspection of the streets of the Ma
tionaI Capital. AS soon as the pave
ments are sufficiently cleared of snow
this inspection will be made.
The committee expects to report
the bill early next week, and indica-
tions are that it will be the largest
District budget ever recommended.
VIII Increase school Fund.
The subcommittee believes that il
is making liberal allowances for all
of the real needs of the District. II
is intended TO be especially generous
in providing adequate funds for
schools, streets, sewers, water supply
and for the Police and Fire Depart
ments.
AT least one ne" SCnOOl
and sites for two others, in addition
to those recommended by the Budget
Bureau, will be included in the bill.
Traffic conditions receiE ed very Sc
rious consideration by the subcom
mittee today. At least so additional
policemen and probably more will be
included in the bill when reported
The subcommittee is also considering
having mounted policemen on duty
in congested sections, who could cover
Il larger beat quickly in moving traf-
fc when a jam occurred. The sub
committee also gave considerable
thought to having motor cycle trafhc
policemen at important street inter-
sections in downtown sections as well
as the man at the semaphore direct
ing traffic.
The recommendation was also made
to Maj Sullivan that at rush hours,
when the employees of the big Gov
eminent departments are going to
and from work, patrolmen should be
taken off their regular beat and used
at busy corners to direct pedestrians.
The appropriations recommended
by the Budget Bureau for the Pub
lie Library will stand unchanged.
The subcommittee felt that, while
some increases were desirable, the
Library officials had expressed them
selves "as satisfied" with the bud
get figures and that increases were
more urgently needed in other &C
tivities of the District government.

CHARGES DENIED
BY GOMPERS' HEIRS
Declare Labor Chief Destroy
ed His First Will of
Own Accord.

Denial of the charges of undue in
fuence made by Mrs. Gertrude A
Gompers, 41-year-old widow OF
Samuel Gompers, late president of
the A. F.. of L., against Samuel ].
Gompers. eldest son of her usband
by his first marriage, is made in a
paper filed this afternoon in the Dis
trict Supreme Court by the three
children and two grandchildren of
the deceased labor leader.
They all deny that Samuel J. Com
pers, chief clerk in the Department of
Labor Influenced his father in any
manner in revoking a will by which
the second Mrs. Gompers was left the
bulk of the 100000 estate and in max
ing a new will leaving her only one
dollar as provided by the law.
The sons and grandchildren assert
that the labor chieftain tore the old
will from the hacker containing it
provision in his own handwriting
They aver they had no knowledge of
what disposition Samuel Gompers had
made of his modest" estate, and
never discussed the provisions of his
will. In revoking his first will and
making a new one, the heirs assert,
Mr. Gompers exercised his own in
dependent judgment and followed the
dictates of his own mind and heart.
Through Attorneys Neumyer q
King the heirs request the court to
dismiss the caveat filed by Mrs. Com
pers and to deny her motion to admit
the earlier will to probate. The sec
ond WILL they say, being the free and
voluntary act of the labor leader,
should be admitted to probate and his
estate distributed as designated by
him therein.

REFUND BYPEPCO

Blanks to Be Sent Out With

The Potomac Electric Power Co.
announced today that it will mail
out with the February electric light
bills blank form to be filed in bv
the $4,000 users of electricity in an
plying for the refund due them under
the settlement of the electric light
rate case.
1t Will not be possible to begin
mailing the refund checks until July
l, Mr.. Ham said. because of the vast
amount of calculating to be done on
the electric light bills for the past
seven years.
The blank will be as simple as the
company can make it, William F.
Ham, president, stated today. Ac-
cording to present plans, the follow
ing facts will be required:
The name of the member of the
family who contracted with the COM
pany for electric service.
If the family has moved about dur
ing the seven years to be covered by the
rebate, the blank will require the
various addresses and the period of
time service was rendered at each
place.
be taken to a notary public, but the
signature of one witness will be re-
quired with the signature of the ap-
plicant
The blank will state that the COM
pany reserves the right to call for
further proof of the fact that the
applicant is the person entitled to
the refund. Mr.. Ham explained. how
ever, that this is merely to cover in
stances in which there appears to be
doubt as to whether the applicant is
the right person.
Whenever a person applies for cleo
trio light service he is required to
sign a contract. Mr.. Ham explained
the company can verify signatures of
applicants for refunds by comparing
them with the original contracts.
Persons who have used electricity
since 1917, but who are no longer
customers will be furnished with
blanks at the company offices, but
Mr. Ham today announced that such
distribution will not be, made until
after March /. In other words, he
wants consumers to wait until the
February bills have been mailed. If,
for any reason, a blank is not found
in the envelope with the February
bill, a consumer may get one from
the company in March.

MARX MAKESF|NAL
MOVE FOR CONTROL
Ebert Asks Formation of
Emergency Cabinet by
Shutdown Today.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, January S.-Chancellor
Marx Is making a final effort to COM
plete an emergency cabinet before
sundown today. President Ebert
authorized him, after the failure to
get together representative non
partisan cabinet, to fill vacanies in
the prospective cabinets ranks with
undersecretaries from the various
ministries. The presidential authori-
cation was given in view of the eX-
listing complications in Germany
foreign relations, necessitating at
least temporary working ministry
in charge of affairs.
Such a makeshift cabinet as is con-
templated would contain official mem
bers of the Clerical and Democratic
parties only, as DR.. Gustav Strese-
mann, foreign minister, and DR.. Karl
retire, in keeping with the German
Peoples Party resolution not to par
ticipate in a government comprising
the Bourgeois and Socialist parties
Chancellor Marx Minister of
Finance Luther, Minister of Defense
Gesslsr. Minister of Labor Brauns
and Food Minister Count Won Kanitz
are expected to retain their portfolios,
with Chancellor Marx temporarily
taking over the foreign office. The
chancellor expects to take his new
cabinet before the Reichstag Satur-
day in connection with his preSenta-
ton of the governments program.

enforcement FUND
FOR SNOW LAW ASKED
Hacker Urges $4,000 to Prosecute
Citizens Who Fail to Clear
Walks.

Immediate request will be made to
the Commissioners by Morris Hacker,
superintendent of street cleaning, for
an appropriation of $4,000 in the next
District appropriation bill for en-
forcement of the law requiring
private individuals to remove snow
from the sidewalks in front of their
property.
Mr.. Hacker pointed out today that
when the snow removal law was
passed several years ago it carried
with it an appropriation of $4,000.
When that amount was used up. how
ever, no further special appropria-
ton was made for sidewalk cleaning.
The law provides that when the
individual fails to clean the sidewalk
the District shall proceed to do the
work and then file suit in the
Municipal Court to recover the cost.
Mr.. Hacker pointed out that while
the lump sum appropriation for gen
eral street cleaning and removal of
snow from highways may be used in
the discretion of the Commissioners
for sidewalk work also, he believed
1T better to ask for the special ap-
preparation to comply with the law.
