CHICAGO, January 12.-Father
Winter is making another one of his
flying dashes across the continent.
Packing his grip with a prodiEious
quantity Of snow and icy winds. he
hoped off from Manitoba on bee
line for the Central West, left some
subzero temperatures in his wake,
and then scurried on East, where he
shows his wares today.
Snow and colder weather were pre-
dicted for the Eastern section of the
United States, with cold waves noted
for sections of Ohio, western Pennsyl-
vania. New York and northern New
England. Even the Southland will get
- taste of the passing wave, although
most of the Tuesday forecasts for that
area call only for slightly colder
weather.
The cold snap will be short lived as
rising temperatures are expected Wed

LONDON, January 12.-Further ar
rests in connection with the European
counterfeiting epidemic are being
made in seven countries as evidence
piles up, perhaps pointing to some
vast international conspiracy by eX-
pert swindlers.
The countries now involved are Hun
gary, Germany, Italy, Portugal. Jugo-
Slavia. Czechoslovakia, Switzerland
and Holland. while even England is
getting uncomfortably near an init
mate connection with the plots by dis
covery of forged Bank of England
notes in Switzerland and Germany.
The apparently simultaneous out
break of these forgereis may be a GU
rlouS coincide nee. and they may be
something deeper. Responsible COM
ment in London today feels that the
hungarian scandal has so shaken the
government that the ministry will be
obllged to resign soon. with possibly
a dangerous political repercussion on
account of the alleged lesitimist sym
pain of the accused forcerS

melting accusations is resulting from

Mediation Believed Suggest
ed Would Not Substitute
Coolidge Authority.
By the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, January IA
The Montevideo correspondent of
La NaCion says he is in a position
TO affirm that the Uruguayan govern
ment has been unofficially approached
by the United States in order to OBJ
tain its friendly mediation in the
Tacna africa dispute between Peru
and Chile.
The correspondent understands that
such mediation would not involve sub
stitution of any part of President
Coolidge's authority as arbitrator in
the dispute, but that it would be
undertaken Jointly with other South
American countries, including Argen-
tina and Brazil.
1t would, he says, serve to form
valuable consensus of opinion.
which would give added strength to
any formulas which were discovered
to solve the question other than by
a plebiscite. if it were found that the
latter was impossible TO carry out.

fused to comment on the subject.

BRUCE PLACED ON
D. c. COMMITTEE
Succeeds Senator Sheppard
of Texas, Forced, to Re-
sign as Member.

Resignation of Senator Morris Shep-
pard of Texas as one of the Demo
cratic members of the District COM
mittee and appointment of Senator
William Cabell Bruce of Maryland to
fill the vacancy was announced today
by Minority Leader Robinson.
Senator Sheppard said he found it
necessary to be relieved from the Dis
trict committee because the pressure
of other committee work prevented
him from giving adequate attention to
meetings of the committee.
Senator Bruce said this afternoon
that he was glad of an opportunity to
serve on the District committee be-
cause the proximity of his own State
to Washington has enabled him TO be
come familiar and interested in the
welfare of the Nationl Capital.
Favors Development.
Il am in favor of improving and de-
veloping Washington" Senator Bruce
declared, because I believe that the
richest and one of the largest nations
in the world should have a magnifi-
cent capital. / feel that whatever
tends to improve Washington also en-
hanceS the Nation
Senator Bruce said that while he
had not studied in detail the various
phases Of the fiscal relations between
the United States and District gov
ernments, he is of the opinion that
the Federal Government should bear
a fair share of the cost of maintain
ing and developing the Capital City.
Favors Permanent Plan.
Tho pau ypeDoher of the committee
indicated that he thought this di-
vision of expense should be made def
mite, and placed on a reasonable basis
Senator Bruce said he would study
the merits of the question when the
opportunity presented iteself.
Senator Sheppard has been an ac-
tive member of the District commit
tee for number of years, and was
the author of the local prohibition
law, which went into effect some time
before national prohibition.

PLAN $165,0D0,0)O
FOR BUILDING FUND
Senate Committee Approves
Bill Providing S50,00O,OOO
for D. C. Program.

A favorable report on the bill carry
ing s165.000,000 for public buildings
in Washington and throughout the
country was ordered today by the Sen
ate committee on public buildings
and grounds. Only a few amendments
were made by the committee, and but
one member, Senator Trammell of
Florida, indicated opposition to the
bill.
The total amount authorized if this
measure is enacted would be divided
.nto three groups, as follows: For
urgently needed structures in Wash
ington. $50 900 900: for post offices and
similar Federal buildings throughout
the United States, 500 900 900, and to
complete the unfinished portion of a
building program ordered in 1918, $15,-
900 600
Fernald to Make Report.
Senator Fernald of Maine, chairman
of the committee, will make the ia
vorable report to the Senate and will
move for passage of the bill as soon
as other problems before the Senate
will permit. A similar bill is also being
considered at this time by the House
committee on public buildings and
grounds.
One of the committee amendments
provides that outside of the District
of Columbia not more than s., 900 900
shall be spent in any one State an
nually. The purpose of this amend
ment is to bring about an equitable
=. l.<,%,
among the various sections of the
country.
Another amendment provides that
where an equal need for public
building exists in two cities prefer
ence will be given to the city in. which
a site has already been purchased. A
third amendment was inserted to in
sure the completion of the buildings
that may be started under this pro-
gram.
Want Early Passage.
Nearly all of the Senators at the
committee meeting indicated a desire
tc see early passage of the bill, point
ing out that the Government has not
had a building program to meet it's
growing needs for II years. While
this mea sure will not construct all of
the buildings needed by the Federal
Government throughout the country,
Chairman Fernald said today, it would
be a step forward.
The bill is Of particular Importance
to Washington, because it will relieve
the unsatisfactory conditions under
which thousands of Government en-
ployes are working in temporary
buildings and in rented quarters.
In some instances various branches
of the same department are scattered
about different rented hQ dings. The
bill also provides for af1 archives
building, in which would be safe
guarded valuable records relating to
the establishment and development of
the Nation.
