EXPRESSION ON.
D. c. SOUGHT

Washington civic and business
organizations today were called
upon to submit TO the special House
District subcommittee suggestions
as to the proposed reorganization
! of the District government.
Opinions as to the type desired
by District residents, suggestions
regarding more efficient methods
of handling the local public tusi-
ness and constructive criticism in
general are desired, Representative
Frank r. Reid, only member of the
subcommittee here, announced.
The recommendations, in brief
should be sent TO the House Dis
trict Committee. They will be
taken up for consideration by the
subcommittee at its next meeting
October IL.
Committee members wish to Sc
cure every possible expression of
public opinion on the proposed re-
organization regarded as the most
important step taken by Congress
in many years, in it's capacity as
governing body of the District.
Extensive shifting of departments,
including the possible consolidation
of several. and the creation of one
or two new ones, probably will re-
suit. it was indicated.
I'VE are now engaged in a more
or less extensive reorganization of
the Federal executive departments"
representative Reid said, land it
seems appropriate at this time to
consider the District governments
needs.
THE District already has been
affected by the general reorganiza-
ton, which has brought about con-
solidation OF the public building
and the public park activities of
the Federal Government in the Dis
trict. leading to establishment of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming, Commission.
Representative Reid has indicated
his belief that the administration
of the local Government lis too
onerous a burden for the present
board of. three Commissioners. He
has proposed. in a. bill introduced at
the close of the last session, to in
crease the board by addition OF two
civilian Commissioners.
The announcement yesterday by
Commissioner Cuno III. Rudolph
that he is in favor of creation of
q fourth Commissionership. to be
filled by woman, is in line with
the suggestion Of Representative
Reid.
Expansion Of the board Is opposed
by former Commissioner Louis
Brownlow. who has told the COM
mittee that the most efficient form
of local Government can be secured
by placing the supreme admins
trative powers in the hands OF
one man, assisted by q strong
executive body.
In view of this apparent conflict
Of opinion, it is the hope OF the
committee that some concrete ex.
preston OF opinion may be secured
from the citizenship of the District
through the various local organiza-
fions.

Former Dry Officer And
Five Others Indicted In
Alleged Hi-Jacking Cases
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)


Los ANGELES, Calf, March %
Indictments were returned today by
the county grand jury against J. l..
Mcdonald, former county prohibition
officer, his attorney, Wallace Davis
and four other men in connections
with the alleged hi-jaeking activities
of Mcdonald.
Mcdonald was arrested several
weeks ago on charges of having
posed as an officer and seized liquors
from prominent residents. Later when
rumors reached officials that under
world figures planned revenge for
McDonald's asserted revelations to
investigators he was removed to the
Watts Jail. He escaped and was re-
captured at Redwood City, near San
Francisco a week ago.
Among illegal seizures charged to
the indicted men, were 5000 worth of
fine wines from Maud Banks, promi>
nent Wyoming oil woman, and the
attempted seizure of $4,000 worth
of liquor from John Shepherd Of
Puente, east of here.

Woodlock Of New York, whose nomi-
nations had been under fire for more

the adverse report of the interstate
commerce. committee on Woodlock
and it is known to have swung sew

The senate debated the nomination
for more than two hours without
getting to a vote. After the session
ended, Senator Reed, republican,
Pennsylvania, announced that in view
of the White House pronouncement,
he would support Woodlock, who is
holding office under a recess APP

Harvard Professor Says
Wrong Men Have Been
Put On Tariff Commission
lRv nisnatch A. p. Wirol

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Unfor-
tunate appointments have been made
to the traiff commission by the
Harding and Coolidge administra-
tons Professor F. w. Taussig, the
commissions first chairman, said
today at the opening of the senate's
investigation into administration of
the tariff law.
He criticized President Coolidge
for Withholding from the public the
reports of the commissions sugar in
vestigation, and advocated a policy
of permitting the commission to re-
port direct to congress-.
Professor Taussig, now Harvard
professor, served on the commission
from 1917 to 1919 as an appointee
of President Wilson. At first he
was reluctant witness and fire.
quently asked to be excused from
answering.
He specified the appointment Of
former Commissioner Burgess and
Commissioner Brossard as ''unfortu-
nate, saying Burgess was long
known as representative of the
Potters' association and Brossard
was not selected on the basis of
training, character and service"

over $4,000 to more than 100000.
The Middle Atlantic states-New
York New Jersey and Pennsylvania
went wet for the Digest and are
doing it again. But the figures are
different.
Modification Strength
In the Digest's poll these states
gave prohibition more votes than
they gave the repeal proposition;
now the repeal total is four times
the prohibition total. Modification
was little more than 33 per cent
higher than the prohibition total four
years ago; now it is six times as
high.
Yet the mistake must not be made
of assuming that the modification
votes represent a desire to do away
with prohibition entirely. 1t may he
said that the modification vote rep
resents an element that would not
bring back the old time saloon, with
unrestricted selling of liquor, but
that wants the present law changed
so that certain features of the old
regime can be returned without its
many abuses.

notes and the president himself be-
leves that method of acceptance full
fills all the requirements of internal
tional practice.
One of the avowed purposes of the
reservations was to distinguish sharp
ly between membership in the court
and involvement in the league. In
any case the reservations are fixed
quantities, and even if the president
sent a representative to conference
he would have no authority to add,
or subtract from what the senate
has done. No one realize more fully
than Mr.. Coolidge the difficulties of
any effort to reopen the question is
the senate. The president is not
ready to speak finally on the ques'
ton on the whole, however, because
he first wants to know all the facts
in the case.
So he. will say nothing in his Of

nature of the invitation addressed to
Washington.
