his home an aged mother, is entitled
to an exemption of $4,000 plus the
$500 credit for a dependent total OF
$4,000. If from choice the mother

ENVIRONMENT RATED
MINOR LIFE FACTOR

Denying the theory Of the In
nuence of environment on character
building in asserting that men do not
act on the spur Of the moment, Rev
q. b. Phillips of the Epiphany
Episcopal Church said in an address
today at midday Lenten services at
Keiths Theater that the conduct OF
our lives is formed throughout by de-
liberated decision.
DR.. Phillips drew on biblical char
actors to establish his statements.
In speaking of the average person
conception of religion, he asserted
that religion is more than an emo
ton; rather that 1t Is the living or q
reciprocal life. Rev. Phillips concluded
by urging that all persons make their
decisions regarding the acceptance OF
Christ with an open mind, and urging
them not to be Influenced by the radl-
cal statements of "half-baked' in
vestigators who claim that historical
research had damaged Christianity.
Andrew Wilson, local attorney, pre-
sided at today's services. Rev. Kyle
Booth offered prayer.
Rev. S. B. Daugherty will speak at
tomorrow s services.

intentions of shooting to kill and only

Gus to the World War. when he en-
listed. He told of being gassed in

DRY LAW SURVEY
URGED BY STAYTON
But House Alcoholic Traffic
Committee Is Not Qualified
for Job, He Asserts.

w. II. Stayton. national chairman
of the Association Against the Prohi-
bition Amendment, in a statement
made public today approved of the
plan for an impartial survey of pro-
hibition, but opposed such. a survey
by the House committee on alcoholic
liquor traffic.
THE committee does not now have
the public confidence" said Mr.. Stay
ton. Such an investigation would
undoubtedly be worse than useless
unless conducted by a committee that
is above the suspicion of Partially"
Prediction of Outcome.
He predicted that the investigation
would undoubtedly bring out very
many facts that the American public
should know" and added that the
source Of expenses of the House
liquor traffic committee on its trip
to Canada last Summer sis still a
mystery to the best of our knowl-
edge. Official sanction for the trip,
he said, was not granted by the
House of Representatives and the
Government did not pay the commit
tees expenses"
If the committee desires to prove
itself unbiased" Mr.. Stayton con-
tinued. it should bring immediate
pressure to bear upon both dry and
wet organizations, to get them to com
ply with corrupt practices act, which
requires quarterly reports from these
societies.
Pointing out that this committee
Is very widely rumored to be friend
ly to and influenced by the Anti
Saloon League" he contended that
until it "purges itself of this rumored
accusation and assumes a judicial
air." any investigation conducted by
1t into prohibition conditions will be
laughed at by citizens III general"
Such a survey as is Endorsed by
Stayton was suggested Monday by
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Andrews, in charge of prohibition. but
has been frowned upon by Secretary
Mellon.

The absence of Mr.. McFadden While

financial difficulties.
Official Duties One Factor.
Mr.. Rhone said Mr.. McFadden had
to entrust many of his business affalrs
to others while he was working to OBJ
tain the passage of amendments to the
national banking laws. He also stated
that Mr.. McFadden had spent nearly
$50, 900 in his dispute and resulting
litigation with John Shelton Williams.

placement of Equipment.

Washington may witness the In
Stallation Of its first automatic tele-
phone exchange within from two to
three years, 1t was learned today
from Albert e. Berry president of
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co.
Mr.. Berry said it had been hoped
that the exchange to be erected soon
at Georgia avenue and Gallatin street
would be the first automatic station
in the District, but that it has been
found the volume of business to grow
out Of that exchange will not justify
the increased cost of the automatic
equipment.
He added. however. that another
new exchange Is almost certain. to be
needed within two years in the vicin-
itv of the north office at Fourteenth
and r streets, and that the present
plans of the company are to make
that one an automatic unit. The load
that would be carried by a new CEN
rial office in that locality would JUS
tifv the automatic installation, Mr..
Berry said.
The complete change over from
manual switchboard to automatic
will have to be spread over a con
siderable period of years, it was ex
ulatned to avoid the loss of scrap
ping serviceable apparatus. 1t has
been found entirely feasible to install
automatic exchange Offices gradually
leaving a community partly served
by both systems.
Mr.. Berry said that Washington
would undoubtedly have had earlier
installation of the automatic tele
nhone but for the fact that the sud

war made it necessary for the com
pany to greatly enlarge It's manua.

BY WOOD IN MANILA
Several Of Filipino Measures Held
Of First Political Importance.
One Proposed Independence Vote.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Department made public
today a report from Cow Gen. Wood
that he had vetoed "a bills and one
joint resolution at the last session of
the Philippine Legislature.
Six measures were vetoed because
they contained provisions binding the
parties to franchises not to do any
thing against the policy of the Gov
eminent of the United States and
the aspirations of the Filipino people
as set forth in a message from Presi-
dent Wilson and announced by Gov.
Gen. Harrison in 1919. Similar pro-
visions. it was explained, had been
Incorporated in virtually all fran
chises for several years.
First importance politically was at
tached by Gen. Wood to the bill
vetoed providing for a plebiscite on
the independence question. He rated
his veto of the budget bill and of the
measure providing for appeal from de-
cisions of the insular auditor as also

50 Tons of Powder
Exploded to Block
Fire i'm Mine Shaft
BY the Associated Press.

JEROME, Ariz.. March 3.-With
a blast that Jared the coun-
try for miles around, 100000
pounds of powder were exploded
at the shaft of the United Verde
Co.'s mine near here yesterday.
However, the blast did not dam
age the town of JEROME, located
less than a mile from the work
ings. 1t was carefully planned
for the purpose of enabling steam
shovels to remove the entire top
of the mine down to a depth of
800 feet in order to eliminate a
fire that started many years ago.
The powder was stored in two
tunnels so close to the fire that
the thermometer stood at 100 de-
greeS Fahrenheit. 1t is estimated
that the charge loosened 10000
cubic yards of rock and ores.
The mine is owned by the estate
of the late Senator William A.
Clark of Montana.

Navy Radio Tower
AT Arlington to Be
Reduced as Unsafe

The upper 10 feet of one Of the
2OO-foot radio towers at the naval
station in Arlington, Va. will have
to be removed in the interest OF
safety. it was disclosed at the
Navy Department today. The
weight of sleet and ice which col
lected on the tower has pulled the
upper 10 feet out Of plumb. and. as
an emergency measure, the an
tenna has been shifted to the next
section 10 feet below the top.
This weakness in the upper part
of the tower, it was explained, is
apparently due to the absence OF
cross-bracing in the section, and as
the antenna has been working
satisfactorily in its new position,
the top frame work Of the steel
tower will be removed by the
