Stanley Horner is Elected
Secretary at Annual
Board Meeting

At its annual meeting held in the
Powhatan Hotel last night, rthe
advisory board of the District of
Columbia division or the American
Automobile Association elected new
officers for the 1925 season and
adopted a program Of expansion
which will mean greatly increased
services for Three A" members
in the District
Edward Brashears, who has been
active for years in the work of the
District of Columbia division of the
A. A. A.. was unanimously elected
chairman Of the advisory board. to
succeed Doctor Frederick V. Coville,
of the Department Of Agriculture.
who is to be out of the city for an
extended period.
Stanley Horner. a leading Wash
ington auto dealer was elected Sec
rotary. George Offutt, jr., was re.
elected counsel. Other members of
the board present at the meeting
were Isaac Cans, Doctor e. g. Sci
bert, A. NJ, Loomis and Rudolph
Jose. There were also present Ern-
est N. Smith, general manager of
the A. A. A., and Alex G. Cruik-
shank, assistant general manager
and M. y. Eldridge.
Mr.. Smith submitted a report Of
the activities of the District division
the past year. 1t showed a large
growth in membership. but also a
progressive rise in the cost of opera
ton because OF the greatly in
creased service that the division is
giving. Mr. Smith pointed out that
a considerable part of the cost of
running the division had heretofore
been charged to the national organ
ization.
The work of the division. Mr..
Smith said, has now been brought
into line with the expanded Three
A" national service. Several pro-
jects for the 1925 season were out.
lined and met with the approval OF
the board.
Sign Posts for Roads.
One Of the first steps to be taken
in the extension of service is the
sign posting of the roads in and
around Washington. The plan now
is to mark these roads for a dis
lance of eighty miles. At the same
time the touring division has in
preparation a series of new maps
for the use of tourists frequenting
nearby resorts. in addition to the
national maps being issued in
greater volume than ever before.
A resolution was adopted to the
effect that steps be Immediately
taken to encourage and promote
safety education in Washington so
as to minimize the accident hazard
on the streets of the city. The form
the campaign will take is to he
worked out by the board, which
will cooperate with the District au-
thorities to make safety work ef-
fective.
Three A. members are to he

blems as soon as designs now being
worked out can be put into produc-

that the various services rendered

BRYANS OPPOSE
PARTY PEACE
MOVE
Conference at This Time
Would Only Reopen Slowly.
Healing Party Wounds
By GEORGE r. HOLMES.

The Bryan brothers-W. J. and
"Charlie''-are not in favor of any
conference to reorganize and re-
spscitate the Democratic party,
srch as was recently proposed by
Franklin d. Roosevelt, of New
York, and endorsed by Senator
Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, per.
nanent chairman of the turbulent
New York convention.
The views of the brothers Bryan
were communicated today to a
number of prominent Democrats in
Congress and caused no little talk.
Such conference at the time.
they believe, would only result In
talk of issues and candidates for
1928, and lead ITO reopening of the
now slowly healing party wounds
suffered in the historic Madison
Square Garden battle.
The Bryan attitude was accepted
by prominent Democrats here as re.
flecting the unwillingness of the
McAdoo faction to "go along with
the Northern and Eastern wing of
the party at this time. The split at
New York still exists. So much was
tacitly admitted by Brother Char.
tie Wnen ne SAID:
Fears Split Party.
'I cannot now see any program
that will give the Democratic party
the support of the great mass of
voters in Eastern States without
setting up a party which could not,
by the vary nature uf things. rep.
resent the great Democratic masses
tYt tina GAnfh and WaCk
ITO be successful in the future.
the Democratic party must be spe.
cific on the big issues in which
the South and West are interested"
What those issues are, Governor
Bryan did not state, but it was
plain that he drew a distinct line
of demarcation between the issues
that the Democracy OF the South
and West is interested in, and the
issues that the Democracy Of the
North and East is intent upon.
The Bryan brothers gave a din
ner last night to sixty guests, mos.
of them prominent Democrats froia
the South and West.
1t was noted that such prominent
Eastern Democrats as Senators
Copeland of New York, Edwards of
New Jersey, Bruce of Maryland,
and Gerry of Rhode Island. were
not present, although many OF
their colleagues were.
The dinner, was unique in thai
there were present around the
board three candidates for Vice
President in the last campaign
Vice President Dawes, Governor
Bryan and Senator Burton K.
Wheeler. They met for the first
time since the election, and thei:.
presence resulted in a great deal
of good-natured railIery.
Doctor Cosme de la Torriente,
ambassador from Cuba and Presi
dent of the League of Nations, was
included in the guests, and he dri1y
commented upon the presence OF
this trio of political enemies.
In Latin America" he observed,
"eet would not be possible. There
would be some shooting"

1924. when he failed to pass an ex-
animation for the position which he
was holding as temporary appointee.
Both he and Hoeger, whose duties
until February 9, 1925, had been to
receive typhoid germ cultures at
the city laboratory, were to be
brought to the State attorneys
office with Miss Alvira Armstrong.
clerk in the health department,
with whom Faiman is said to have
been friendly.
This examination was to be the
focal point Of the States investi-
cation today.
Probes Brothers Death.
Distinct from this. however, was
the probe being conducted by Judge
Harry Olson, friend of the McClin-
took family and counsel for the
dead" He announced that, with
Shepherd indicted for Billy's death,
he would again turn his attention
to the death of Doctor Oscar Olson,
his brother, who, he declares, died
| under peculiar circumstances a short
time after Shepherd had visited him.
During the McClintock inquest,
he announced that he would have
the body OF his brother exhumed
for examination for poisons, and he
announced today that he was now
prepared to go through with this
plan. A daughter of the doctor,
Harriet Olson, he said was ready
to press the investigation and any
charges which might grow out Of it.
Meanwhile, Shepherd languished in
cell IS of the county jail-the same
cell which Nathan F.. Leopold
slayer OF Bobby Franks. occupied
during the long days of his trial,
and his co-defendant, Faiman, was
under guard at the Briggs House
pending the formal arraignment
Saturday when Shepherds counsel
have declared they will fight for
their clients release on bail
They have been granted a request
that all grand jury witnesses appear
at the arraignment to tell why they
gave their testimony. BY this
means. the defense hopes to prove
it's contention that the entire case
Is frame up to rob Shepherd OF
his inheritance-the McClintock for
tune which Judge Olson declares
Shepherd has been Conspiring for
seventeen years Is OBTAIN.
The defense also will contend that
the indictment is faulty because the
Illinois law states that typhoid
germs are not poisons as set forth
in the bill: that the State cannot
prove a corpus deficit. that no jury
would send a dog to the pound on
the testimony of Faiman" on which
the State case is built.

tons have been completed at the
courthouse for doubling of the
bench and court staffs. Appoint
ment of two new bailiffs, and other
necessary court employees, probably
will be deferred until about the
first of the month, it is said.
The full duties OF the enlarged
police court will not be exercised
until about May 2. when the new
traffic law will become effective
in it's entirety.
Most of the month of April. it Is
expected, will be consumed in out

lations for court procedure under
the new system.
The new law provides that the
court shall be open for traffic cases
continuously from a. m. to IL

work out a system of shifts upon
which they will operate.
The question of a successor for
Judge Macdonald's post as commits

Campaign on One Set of Prin-

Their Opposite
BY WILLIAM HARD.

+,
Having paid our earnest and
sincere but not too serious re-
spects to Republican bunk in the
last article, let US here endeavor
TO do a little corresponding justice
60 Democratic bunk.
The Democrats are not so bad
at it. On the contrary, they are
extremely good. They are pro-
fessionals, too.
Their speciality is:
Equality of opportunity for
ill! Special privileges to none!''
They disdain to kid the business
man. They leave that narrow
speciality to the Republicans. They
take the broad speciality Of kid
ding everybody in general and at
large.
Create Uneasy" Feeling.
Do you want equality of oppor-
tunity? You naturally do. Have
you equality of opportunity now?
Well, you have just as much Of
1t as all these hundreds Of railroad
presidents and bank presidents and
Industrial corporation directors who
started as brakemen and clerks and
tank-wagon drivers. You do not
quite see anything or anybody that
Is preventing you from going to
work and making good.
However, 1t is a poor Democratic
orator who cannot in the end give
you somehow an uneasy feeling

indignantly standing between you
and your goal upward and thrust.

They do not want you to be
the president Of q railroad. So
every now and. then you get out
and vote against them and in
favor of the Democrats, who have
promised to deliver you from
'sthem.''
This Democratic bunk gives you
much more goose-flesh and is much
more shivery than the Republican
bunk.
1t arouses and enrages you
against unseen forces which you
rely upon the Democrats to un.
cover and to render Visible and to
destroy as soon as they get into
office.
Most Certainly Not.
You also vote for the Democrats

away from the fiends. whoever
they are, that have them You
rely upon the Democrats to dis.
cover these people too and to harry
them and to hoist them out Of all
power in Washington.
Thereupon the Democrats, having
especially denounced the tariff
tax" as case OF special privi-
lege," arrive in Washington and
proceed to Iegislate and to ad-
minister.
What do they do? Do they ap-
point the under-dog to office? Do
they put the under-dog into power?
Certainly not. Never.
