MOSES POSTAL
PAY BILL IS
APPROVED
Will Raise Revenue Needed
for Raise, Coolidge Tells
Senator

President Coolidge today approved
the compromise postal rate'bil draft
ed by the joint postal committee Of
Congress.
His approval of the lower rates
adopted after newspaper publishers
had protested against the proposed
increases was voiced to Senator
Moses (Rep) of New Hampshire.
chairman Of the committee of the
special subcommittee which held
hearings on the bill.
Although the rate increases agreed
by administration leaders are not as
high as those recommended by Post
master General New, with White
House approval, the President told
Moses that he believed the new bill
would operate to offset the $68, 000, 900
increase in the salaries of postal en-
ployes.
This salary boost had been disap-
proved by the President unless pro-
vision were made for bringing more
revenue into the Postoffice Depart
ment through an increase in rates.

SPEEDING UP
CONGRESS
Effort Will Be Made to Pass
Program and Avoid An
Extra Session
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
International News Service.

A drive to speed up Congress
in enacting Coolidge's legislative
program was inaugurated today
by Administrator leaders in an eff
fort to avoid a special session
next spring.
This action was taken to meet
the wishes of the President, who
has declared against an extra
session.
Progress on the program to
date has been negligible, due
chiefly to protracted debate in
the Senate over disposition of the
500, 100000 Muscle Shoals project.
The first two steps taken by
Administration leaders were to ar
range for action in the Senate
early next week on the first of
the annual appropriation bills,
already passed by the House, and
to hasten a final showdown on
the Muscle Shoals project. Under
the speed-up program, they ex-
pect to dispose of Muscle Shoals
by the end of next week.
Dozen Big Bills Wait.
The appropriation bill situation,
however, has worried the Presi-
dents spokesman. With twelve
big bills to be passed before ad-
journment, not one has been acted
on by the Senate.
An agreement, however, was
arranged to sidetrack Muscle
Shoals debate long enough to pass
the Treasury and Postoffice De-
parttnent bills while three more
will be rushed to enactment at the
first opportunity.
The administration forces also
faced disposition of the postal pay
veto and the Isle of Pines treaty,
both of which will require consider
able debate.
The pay bill will be considered
Monday with a final vote some
time Tuesday, while the treaty will

PARADE
LIKELY
President Said to Favor Old
Time Pomp and Mardi
Gras Spirit

William T. Galliher, chairman
Of the board of directors of the
Federal-American National Bank,
was formally rendered the inaug-
ural craftsmanship by President
Coolidge today and accepted the
post.
The President chose Mr.. Cali
her because of his standing here
as a Republican and business
man and today followed up his
proffer with an. informal discus
sion of the plans for this gaia
event.
Big Parade Lflkelys
As a result of the conference, It
MAS indicated that in addition 70
the official ceremony on Capitoi
Hill. there win be parade Down
PennsyIyania avenue, possibly OF
the uretenfiOus kind that is tratll-
tiOnaI i'm Washington, and fireworks
and other forms of municipal cele-
bratior az night.
Mr.. Galliher is inclined to give
the local citizenship the widest pos
aibIe latitude for making the inaug-
uration an old-fashioned festival
which will attract hundreds OF
thousands of visitors to the city.
He is opposed to the holding OF
either an inaugural ball or public
reception. He believes that either
of these events, without the pres
ence or the patronage OF the
President and Mrs. Coolidge, would
be like the play of Hamlet with
Hamlet left out.
To Consult Business Men
In spite of this. however, there
were indications today that Wash
ineton would be able to celebrate
the inauguration with its old-fasn-
toned "mardi gras" spirit. Plans
viii be discussed by Mr.. Galliher
with the various local business men
who are active in projecting the
Inaugural celebration.
Chairman Galliher will confer
with Senator Curtis, chairman of
the Congressional Inaugural Com
mittee either this afternoon or
Monday. Senator Curtis views
will have considerable weight in
determining the character of the
inaugural parade following the
Presidential address on the Capitol
plaza.
1t is understood that President
Coolidge has left in the hands of
Senator Curtis and Chairman CALI
her the question of what type of
inaugural pageant will be held.
Following Mr.. Galliher's conference
with Senator Curtis, he will see
President Coolidge again and in
form him of the tentative plans.
To Name Committees
Mr.. Galliher said today that he
expected to appoint the regular
list of local inaugural committees.
His slate is not yet ready, however,
but it is probable that he will
appoint the committees early next
week.
The President was represented
today as not being opposed to a
gala celebration Of his induction
into office on March 4. Much de-
pends, however, upon the attitude
taken by Senator Curtis and other
members of the Congressional com.
n:ittee.

grand jury next week, it was an
nounced today by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney John A. Burnett,
who will prosecute the case.
The three participants, George
M. King, Joseph F. Nally, and
Raymond Beavers, the first two
named by coroner's jury as
slayer and accessory, respectively,
will go before the grand jury on
charges Of murder. @

NaIly isl to face trial on a charge
OF robbery in connection with rob-
berry Of a Piggy Wiggly store.
Trial on that charge is scheduled
for next week also. which would
cause Nally to face two serious
charges at the same time.
King was committed to jail with
Beavers today. Nally was sent
there after the coroner's jury. Nally
had been out on $4,000 bond In con-
nection with the robbery charge.
The loyalty Of pretty Govern
nent worker to her sweetheart was
the unwilling cause Of King being
nR "a
revealed today.
King was arrested as he sat with
Gertrude HYman, his sweetheart, in
the dining room of the home OF
Valentine Coudar. a former police
man of the, Third precinct. He
was brought to police headquarters
and is said to have made state

shooting.
Didn't Wander Far.
According to detectives, King, in
his statement, told them he had not
gone farther than LeonardtoWn
since the shooting occurred. SINCE
Thursday night he had been spend
ing the day at the home OF COUGAR
going out at night.
Police would not say that Coudar
had given them any advance 1n1or-
nation leading to the arrest OF King
although it was intimated that ne
had been of some assistance.
The story OF the shooting, as King
is said to have narrated 1t to de-
tectives. is substantially as follows:
The three men, King, Nally ana
Beavers, on Sunday afternoon went
to the near-beer saloon for
drink. They were told they
couldn't have it. So they walked
out of the place and went around
to an H street saloon; which they
found closed. They returned 10

They then asked Joseph F1tz-
gerald for change with which TO
operate the electric piano In the
saloon, and were refused, because
it was Sunday and Fitzgerald told
them he did not want the piano
playing. That was the start of
the argument which ended in the
shooting.
King declared that Brady the
porter who was slain, started for
the door, and that he thought Brady
was armed, because he had his right
hand in his hip pocket.
King says he demanded that Brady
withdraw his hand but this demand
was refused, and Brady began with
drawing it slowly, leading King to
believe that he was pulling gun

"MOTHER TONGUES"
INVOLVED

The Hawaiians and Japanese are
in conflict over the exclusive Japa-
nese schools which give an eight
year course in their own language
only. Thirty schools have conformed
to the territorial requirement that
two years of the course be taken at
a public school using the Hawaiian
language. Eighty-fve Japanese
schools are holding out against this
provision and have closed their doors
temporarily to avoid the imposed fine
fee of 81 per pupil as required by the
for the non-payment of the annual
law for the non-payment of the an
nual fee, should they continue oper-
ating.
The justice of the Hawaiian atti-
tude is very evident, and in time this
ruling might affect by it's success or
its failure some of the diplomatic as
poets of our own country.

IMMIGRATION HARDsHIPs

Selective immigration on the 9TH

first important step both in justice
to the aliens themseles and in respect
to the protection of labor in the Unit

has some good ideas he hopes to see
worked out in revised laws at the
next session of Congress. One plan
is to maintain agents of the immi-
grafton bureau abroad on, the same
plan as commercial attaches are now
kept and these agents should know
the labor needs of industry in this
country and make the selections to
fit the needs. His plan contemplates
removal of the immigrants entire
family at the same time with himself,
with would remove one of the great.
ent evils of our present system which
forces the man to come first and find
employment and then trust to the
uncertainties of the future quotas
and other restrictions in getting his
family together again. This arbitrary
rejection of any or all of his family
for an indefinite number of years is
an inhuman regulation tx !: -. the
separations caused by a,&,ery and

ciples Of our socalled "land of the
