The expected appearance OF Sen
ator Weller of Maryland, WHO was
picked up for fictitious tags,
failed to materialize and it was ex
planned that no charges have been
placed against the Maryland legis'
lator. 1t was admittd, however
that charges were filed against Ca
lixto Madelo, the Japanese chauf
feur of Senator Weller. 1t was not
given out, however, when, if ever
the case against the chauffeur will
come up, and court attaches plainly
indicated that everything was be
ing done to hush the matter up.
Explains LambertOn Case.
After today's court session, Judge
Riggs made his attitude clear IN
the Lamberton case which caused
American Automobile Association
officials to threaten appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States
1.-THE moment a man moves from
the District of Columbia into Mary
land, and closes his District house
he becomes a living resident OF
Maryland and must Immediately
buy a Maryland tag. The thre>
month privilege given District resi-
dents in Maryland is only held out
to them while they are still District
residents.
If a man holds house in Mary
land and one in Washington and
divides his time between them, he
is entitled to reciprocal automobile
privileges and does not have to buy
a Maryland tag"

ACTS
To MEET
CRISIS
100, 900 People Writing From
Towns With Facilities Only
for 10000, He Says

An emergency step was taken
by the Postoffice Department
today TO keep the mail moving
in Florida where an unprecedent-
ed rush Of people from other
States has completely swamped
the postal service.
In order to cope with the un-
usual situation, Postmaster Gen
Grad New announced the estab-
lishment in Miami of a branch Of
the Postoffice Departmental

BareIttt Sent to Scene
IN order that someone may be
right on the ground to cope with
situations as they arise he sent
John F. Bartlett first assistant
Postmaster General: William r.. Spill
man, superintendent of the division
OF postoffice service, and John r..
Tuilis, assistant superintendent, to
Florida for a.conference Monday
THE rush has been without prece-
dent in the history of the Postoffice
Department.. said Mr.. New. Post
offices that have been organized to
serve populations of 10000 have
been called upon to serve more
than 100000 and it Is a manifest
impossibiIity.'
People from northern States
have fl0ckeE to Florida in regi-
ments, brigades and armies, very
few Of them having made any pro-
vision in advance for permanent
postal addresses.
Letters are sent to them to
these Florida towns addressed TO
general delivery.
AS a result there are lines blocks
in length or longer at many OF the
smaller offices.
In many cases there is no room
in the building to handle the mail.
This year people have gone to
Florida even before the season
opened. They are down there now.
II have made arrangements to
send John II. Bartlett, the first
assistant Postmaster General; Will
liam r. Spilman, superintendent,
Division of Postoffice Service. and
John r. Tullis, assistant superin
tendent to Miami, Monday, Septem

SCHOOL TRUANT
CHECK-UP IS
PLANNED
Fay L. Bentley Begins This
Week-61 $50 Students
Enroll for. Studies

A careful checking Of all young
sters Of school age in Washington
will be begun the end of this week
by Miss Fay L. Bentley and her
staff of the department of school
attendance to determine whether
all children who should be in
school are actually enrolled for
their classes
The plan, as worked out by Miss
Bentley, provides for a comparison
Of the lists of students enrolled last
year with those registered this year.
In this way, Miss Bentley hopes to
discover the youngsters who are
succeeding in skipping their school
duties. The lists of pupils of pub
l:c, private and parochial schools
will be scanned.
Heavy Enrolment
Unusually heavy registration on
the opening day points to an enroll
ment of 10000 or more pupils be-
fore the end Of the first semester.
There were 81 $40 pupils who re-
ported to their classes in the ele-
mentary and high schools, nearly
2 ,O00s more than the number
registered on the. first day last
year.
A total Of .8,734 students were
admitted to classes in the senior
high and ninth year of the junior
high schools of the white schools,
as compared to 8,344 on the opening
day in 1924. Elementary school en-
rollment in the first nine divisions
was 1857. as against 33,O66 a
year ago. Reports from the
colOred schools showed a gain of
more than 1000.

miles south of the place where Cody
is now located. He was married to
Miss Alice Sechrist of Clayton, Neb..
and together they suffered the hard
ships and privations of early day life
in the Big Horn basin. Fortune
dealt Mr.. Watkins some hard knocks
during his career as a sheep man,
while he had his ups and downs in
the business of which he came t be
a master.
For almost twenty ear Mr.. and
Mrs. Watkins have enjoyed a home
in Cody, and it was less than a year
ago, with the disposal of the sheep
and ranch interest, that they decid-
ed to move to the western coast. Mr..
Watkins had amassed a very COM
Portable fortune from the sheep bus
mess and was seeking that rest
which he so well deserved after his
many years of strenuous work as a
'flockmaster.
He served the county of Park as
a most efficient commissioner for
"a four-year term, and was also a
member of the town council for one
term. He belonged to Shoshone
Lodge No. 81, A. F. & A. NJ, Oar
Jus Chapter, Constantine Command
cry, and Kalif Temple, Masonic or
ders as well as Cedar Chapter, East
ern Star of Cody, and but a week
before his death was an honored
guest of the Cody club, commercial
organization of which he has been
"a member since its early inception.
Mr.. Watkins was also associated
with the Shoshone National bank as
a stakeholder and director. and was
an able officer in this strong finan-
cial institution.
Besides his wife, Mr.. Watkins is
survived by five brothers: Jonn of
Hinckly, Mimi; David of Keota, Ia;
Newton of West Liberty, Iowa;
George of Cody and Charles of Bill
lings.
AS a mark of the high esteem in
which deceased was held by his
fraternal brothers and fellow citi-
zens, a memorial service is to be
held tomorrow at the Masonic Tenn
pie at two O'Clock, the same hour
as the funeral services in Billings,
Mont.
