JUDGES QU|PS
TIGHTEN BLUE
Of MONDAY
Drunk's Bottle Bears Skull
and Bones-Woman "CeIe-
brates" Sunday

The old Monday morning blues, to
which most persons are more or
less addicted, never were more ap-
parent than in Police Court today,
where the arrests of Saturday and
Sunday were paraded before Judge
George FL. Macdonald.
Intoxication cases furnished much
material for judicial quips.
Herman Windenberg appeared to-
day on that charge. The bottle
from which he had been drinking
was labeled with the dreaded skull
and crossbones.
1T was denatured alcohol for my
radiator" he told the court.
You won't need any alcohol 10
keep your radiator from freezing
if you drink that stuff, because
the place where you're going never
freezes. Officer, go pick him out
nice lot in a cemetery and I'll
let him stay in the cell-room TO
find out when he needs it," the
judge said.
Mary Queen-not Of Scots-col-

GASQ(JE TO
LEAD IN
FIGHT
Fiscal Relationship and Reor-
ganization on Public Utilities
Also Issues

District suffrage, settlement of
the long standing fiscal relation
ship dispute and reorganization
of public utilities administration,
doomed today as the outstanding
District business during the early
part of the coming session of
Congress.
All three matters will be
brought up in both branches of
Congress before the Christmas
holidays, according to plans being
completed today.
The suffrage fight will be opened
simultaneously in the Senate and
House over the bill of Congress
man Allard H. Gasque of South
Carolina, providing for election Of
the Board of Education.
To Be Important Issue
This is expected to develop into
the most important issue of the
session. The question of fiscal re.
lationship between the Federal and
District government will be dragged
into the argument, it was indicated
today.
The policy, inaugurated last year,
of holding joint meetings of the Sen
ate and House District Committees
will be followed this year, and is ex-
pected to result in early considera-
ton for District legislation which
otherwise would be tied up until
the middle of January.
Although the House will be un-
able to give District legislation at
tention on the floor until after the
Christmas holidays, efforts will be
made through joint action by the
Senate and House committees to Sc
cure Senate action on a number of
outstanding bills before the holidays.
Such Senate bills as are passed
then will be given priority on the
House calendar.
Question Being Studied
The public utilities question is now
being studied by at least three mem
bers Of the Senate committee.
The most important early action
will be the Introduction by Con

WOOD SEES
COOLIDGE
ON PLAN
Congressman Calls for Slash
Of % Per Cent Back
Efficiency Board

A reduction of % per cent in
the number of Federal employees in
the District today was called for
by Congressman Will R. Wood of
Indiana, member of the House
Appropriations Committee.
An appropriation for the Bureau
of Efficiency much larger than
the present one, adequate to con-
duct a survey of all the Federal
departments, is also advocated by
Congressman Wood, who conferred
with President Coolidge.
Objects to Transfer
The Indiana member not only IL
opposed to the Lehlbach bill, which
would transfer the functions Of the
Personnel Classification board to
the Civil Service Commission, but
he believes that the present powers
of the Bureau of Efficiency should
be increased.
There are some Government bu-
reaus which are nearly 100 ! per
cent efficient, and in others the
efficiency grade does not reach 40
per cent" said Congressman Wood.
II am in favor of making a survey
of all the Federal departments. and
believe that we could dispense
with % per cent Of the present
number Of Government workers
here.
II do not think the Bureau of
Efficiency could do this work with
out a much larger appropriation,
he said, land / am in favor of
voting this additional fund"
More Power For Coolidge
Wood also declared today he was
in favor of giving President Cool
idge complete control over reor.
ganization plans. He Is in line
with Senator Curtis and Senator
Edge on this matter, and takes
sharp issue with the view ex-
pressed by Senator Smoot that Con
gress never would enact this leg
islation.
II am in favor or consolidating
the Veterans Bureau with the PEN
sion Bureau, and of abolishing the
Shipping Board" said Wood. 81

both of these matters effectively"

BUS Line FIGHT
ON PARKING.
LOOMS
Object to New Regulation
Prohibiting Parking to
Take on Passengers

Scoring the regulation prohibit
ing buses from parking on stands
in the congested area as discrim-
inatory, officials of several bus
companies today announced their
intention of taking up the case
with District officials.
The District Commissioners in
cluded in the traffic amendments
adopted Saturday an article max
ing it a violation of the parking
regulations for a bus to stand on
the street in the congested area
while waiting for passengers to
congregate.
Fear Loss of Custom
The manager OF one bus com
pany declared that while buses
| were coming to the point at which
passengers were waiting for trans
portation, hackers would steal many
of their customers.
He declared that hacking cars
| should not be allowed to stand idle
! and solicit patrons for sightseeing
trims around the city If the busses
are to be ruled off the streets.
The owner of one of the bus
| lines saws the new ruling is dis
criminatory and that 1t is ridiculous
to keep the buses on the move as
it will tend to make traffic even
more congested. He maintained
that an advertised bus line with a
known terminal should be allowed
to have a bus stand in front of It's
office.
Traffic Director M. o. Eldridga
| said he had not been communicated
| with on the question. He holds
that the regulation which will al
low taxicabs and privately owned
vehicles to take on and discharge
| passengers will relieve the double
parking troubles and will allow
more business houses the use OF
space in front OF their stores.
Pedestrian Control
| Director Eldridge said he would
| confer with ajor Edwin b. Hesse
J superintendent Of police. on the
| question OF the enforcement Of the
newly-adopted amendment govern
| ing pedestrians.
Instructions will probably be
given to crossing policemen to see
to it that pedestrians obey the
| signals the same as motorists.
| Pedestrians who fail to observe the
I'signal or fail to obey the officer
warning will probably be ushered
| back to the curb.
The traffic director said he did
not feel at liberty, as vet to an
nounce an increase of speed limit
on the arterfal highways which
were established in the new amend
ments. He said that plans for new
speed limits will be announced
when formulated.
Adoption of approximately two
! score amendments to the traffic
regulations, three or four of which
| vitaliy effect the movements of mo.
tor cars, have been announced by
the District Commissioners.
Beginning December ! it will be
an infraction Of the regulations for
/ a pedestrian to dart across the
street against the flow OF traffic
where an automatic light or a DO
liceman is in control at the inter,
section.
Pedestrians shs i wait the same
as motorists for the "go" sign be.

not controlled pedestrians shall have

A SuDer Vessel

Work has been begun upon a steam turbine ship
on the River Clyde, England, which will utilize q
steam pressure twice high the pressure ever
used before in marine steam turbine.
The vesse! is being built by the same group which
in 1901 built the first commercial steam turbine
vessel from the plans OF Sir Charles Parsons.
Construction of the vessel has been undertaken
to counteract the opinion which has been gaining
ground that the Deisel oil engine is the engine OF
the future and that all efforts by marine engineers
should be centered upon the development of this
type Of engine
number OF British experts, such as Sir John
Bes, insist that the turbine driven ship has not
been carried to perfection and that with the con-
struction OF higher pressure turbines. economies in
fuel consumption and operation be obtained.
From the British point of view the Deisel oil en-
gine is not entirely satisfactory because England
must import all its oil. But even nations which
have their own oil supply must bear in mind the
opinion OF many experts that the oil supply is
dwindling rapidly and must eventually give out.

Changing Market Conditions
est. Paul Dispatch)

The arrival on Monday of the first consignment
OF 100000 bushels OF Canadian wheat bought by the
minneapolis mills; the beginning OF the shipment
or 2oOOOOO bushels of Canadian wheat to the mills
at buhalo, and the dumping Of what may eventual"
amount to 5O.Oo0,0OO bushels of Canadian wheat
upon the American market the greater part of
which is to be ground into -four for domestic con-
sumption, points to a remarkable change in the
marketing conditions of that grain in the Unite /
States.
The American miller, in mporting the wheat.
pays the tariff of AZ cents Il bushel. This means
protection for the wheat grower on this side OF the
line that, in fact, is not the protection he bar.
gained for The premium for wheat OF high pro.
to 80 cents bushel more for wheat than the option
prices indicate. The difference between the price
IN winnipeg and the price paid for the same high
grade wheat in the Twin Cities is lust about the
amount OF the tariff
The primal cause of this situation is the prac-
tcal breakdown of the artificial grades established
by the Federal statute. Wheat is not now bought
at the terminals SO much upon its grade upor
its milling vlaue. The market price may be said
to be the minimum while every per cent OF protein
increase the price paid for it. This condition does
not evidently obtain in Winnipeg, where wheat is
| simply wheat regardless OF its protein content or
Miller buying on test, accepts the same grade OF
wheat and paying the tariff, pays no more than he
would if lie bought the home grown
| TO some extent the Northwestern farmer is fore
ing the millers' hands. The farmer is holding back
his wheat. He insists that the price now being Of
is not enough aud he will not sell until he gets
his price. Be 1t remembered that the price the
farmer gets at the local elevator is NOT the prem
/ ium price paid by the millers at the terminal Hs
still sells his wheat-except when he ships his own
carioad--on the basis Of fictitious grade and thu
protein premium benefits him not at all.
| SO we have what the Scotch would call "thrawn'
condition The miller, paying fair price, must e
to Canada to get grist for his mills: the farmer
still under the yoke OF artificial grades, will mo-
sell at the price they bring, and at one stroke tn,
tariff and the grain grading acts are leveled, ant
rendered null and void. Market conditions betweel
the miller and the farmer are out Of joint and as
suredy need adjustment.
