Right of Court to Enforce
Property Owner Agreement
Against Negroes is Argued
~. plspatcll 4. :. Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The right
of courts to enforce agreements
among property owners designed to
exclude negroes from their neigh
borhood was argued today in the SUI
preame court. The controversy reach
ed the court in an appeal from de-
-cision of the lower federal courts up
holding an agreement among proper
ty owners on one of the fashionable
residential streets of Washington not
to sell, lease or rent their property
to negroes for q, period of II years.
Mrs Irene Hand Carrigan, owner
of a residence in the block affected
between 18th and 18th streets in S.

a negress, and John j. Buckley, an
other property owner who had signed
the covenant, took the matter into
the courts.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People took
up the direction OF the appeal for
Mrs. Carrigan, and Mrs. Curtis. when
their case was lost in the lower
courts, and two of it's directors, Louis

argument against the agreement.

Both these phenomena are believed
to be the results of the subter-
ranean forces that during the past
ten days in various parts of the
country have caused panic stricken
crowds to flee as the earth trem-
bled or the famous volcano belched
angrily.
The earthquake in Tuscany center
ed in the region around Monte
Amiata, and resulted in minor in
juries to a score of persons and
damage to several hundred peasant
houses. The first shock was felt at
10!15 a. M, and this was followed
by a trembler of smaller intensity.
The quake inspired widespread terror,
driving the inhabitants of several
villages from their homes.
The towns suffering most were
Abbadia and San Salvatore, the cen
ter of the mercury mining district,
where all the houses were damaged
Most of the damage took the form
of crumbling masonry and warped
boards.
The Tuscany tremblor followed a
series of shocks which have been
felt in recent days in districts as far
separated as the southern tip of
Calabria and the northern frontier
of Jugo Slavia.
After appearing somnolent this
morning, Mount Vesuvius resumed
heavy rumbling and this was follow
ed by an increase in the flow of
lava, which now covers the crater

The greatest flow is coming from
a new cone 100 feet wide. The fiery
liquid is threatening to come down
the Cavallo valley at the north side
of the base, which usually happens
during the periods of activity. While
the lava flow is violent, there have
been no serious explosions.

two of the important projects which
were carefully and enthusiastically
considered by the directors of the
Douglas Chamber of Commerce and
Mines at an important meeting last
night.
1t was voted to hold Trade Day

city to offer special bargains on that
day. The chamber will cooperate in
widely advertising the day, not only
in Douglas but throughout the rest
of the county, in the valley and IN

two years ago, proved a great sue
cess and the chamber believes that

DROP
FIGHT TO KEEP
TAX PUBLICITY
(By Disparcn A. P wire>

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Senate
democrats decided today not to con
duct a party fight for continuation
of publicity of income tax returns,
repeal of which is provided for in
the house revenue bill now before
the senate finance committee.
The democratic members of the
committee under the leadership of
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
did agree, however, on a program Of
tax reduction which they will pro-
pose as a substitute for that written
into the bill by the house.
The substitute schedules, which are
to be completed at final conference
tomorrow, will call for tax reduction
amounting to at least $70,000,O 900
more than provided by the house
measure which has been endorsed
in general by Secretary Melon and
the administration
In their program for greater tax
reduction the democrats are expected
to propose repeal of the automobile,
admission, and numerous other mis-
cellaneous taxes not touched by the
house, and a slight reduction in the
corporation tax.
There are indications also that the
democrats will seek revision of the
income surtax and inheritance tax
schedules in the bill to increase the
maximum rates of each from the 20
per cent to at least rs per cent, but
will be satisfied with the increases
VOTED by the house in the personal
exemptions from income taxes.
Senate republicans, who are expect
ed to follow the lead of Secretary
Mellon in supporting the non-partisan
measure passed by the house, have a
majority of 10 to Z in the finance
committee, which must first pass on
terms of the bill Republicans also
have a clear majority in the senate
but switches to support of the dem
ocratic program like those of the
insurgents two years ago, probably
would put it in the bill.
The publicity provision was writ
ten into the law two years ago by
votes of democrats and republican
insurgents. 1t was proposed then by
Senator Norris, republican of Nebras-
ka, and he has served notice he will
fight terms of the house bill propos-
ing it's repeal. .
Several democrats who supported
the publicity provision two years ago
have announced a change in their
views, and conferences of the demo-

CITY OF ROME'S
OFFICERS PLACED
ON TRIAL FRIDAY
lBr plsnatch A. P. wirel

BOSTON, Jan. S.-Trial of Captain
John H. Diehl and Timothy Dreyer,
commander and third mate of the
steamship City of Rome when she
rammed and sank the submarine
S-51 last September, with loss of
SO lives, began, today before the
local board of federal steamboat in
spectors The accident occurred off
Block Island.
Captain Diehl faces four charges
Of inattention to duty in violation
of the international rules for pre-
vention of collisions. Dreyer is
charged with the same and with
an additional offense of neglect of
duty, based on the fact that while
officer of the watch he relieved the
quartermaster at the wheel. The
defendants pleaded not guilty.
The defendants were the only wit
nesses examined in four hours ques-
tioning today by both the board
and their counsel, Captain Luther
E. Dow. The testimony followed
closely that given at the investiga-
tion of the board from which came
the preferment of the charges and
the hearing conducted by the naval
board of inquiry, whose report has
not been made public
Both witnesses said that until
few seconds before the crash they
had no inkling a collision was i'm
minent, although they agreed that
they had watched for 20 minutes
white light which they later found
was on the submarine.
Dreyer testified that, although it
was unusual and contrary to the
general approval of masters, he felt
no compunction in relieving the
helmsman and did not believe it
contributed to the disaster Captain
DiehI said that he believed such an
act should be reprimanded but that
his entering the pilot house directly
after the quartermaster left restored
the watch to it's necessary strength
and that it therefore could not be
held accountable for the accident.

RECLAMATION IS
OBJECT OF BOTH
PRAISE, BLAME
,By Dispatch A. r. w,ra,


WASHINGTON, Jan. s.--While the
house heard the governments recla-
nation policy denounced and de-
Tended today, congress was told by
an interior department investigating
board that it should consider $l4,-
S17,15O spnt on 10 reclamation pro-
jects as definitely lost, and $12,-
785,1S more as probably lost
The house closed general debate
on the interior department appropria-
ton bill and took it up for amend
ment, agreeing to an appropriation
Of S45O,0OO for the Coolidge dam
across the Gila river in Arizona,
and approving without material
change items for national forests and
indiana relief. Reclamation projects
will be considered tomorrow,
Representative Williamson, repub-
lican, South Dakota assailed the sub
committee incharge of the interior
bill for dropping the Belle Fourche
project in South Dakota, which was
included in the investigating boards
list of definite and probable losses
to the amount of $1,279,1S9. Repre-
sentative Blanton, democrat, Texas,
asked why the committee had re-
stored an appropriation of $50000O
for Baker project in Oregon after
secretary Work had advised against
it. Blanton added that he was not
opposed to the Baker development
but wanted the reclamation policy
defined.
The report on reclamation losses
was delivered by the board of sur
very and adjustments appointed un-
der the reclamation act of December
5, 1914, to investigate the extent of
losses to settlers due to lack of
fertility, inadequate wafer supply
and other physical causes. Reclama-
ton bureau officials characterized it
as a forward step toward the relief
of social and human problems on
it's projects.
The purpose of the report was to
recommend the writing off as losses
of sums due from settlers, where
the delinquency is due to the causes
set forth. Sums so written off would
not be required of delinquent set
tiers, nor would other be charged
to make them good.
The boards letter of transmittal
to Secretary Work emphasized it's
conviction that an early disposition
of it's recommendation not only pro-
mote the welfare of the projects but
bring relief to people wearing them
selves out in a fight against what
it termed insurmountable odds.
