Mischievous Truck
Backs Into Store,

1t was soft drinks that the sew
eral customers standing at the
soda fountain of the Skiados candy
store at 1902 Seventh street had
ordered, but when they glanced
up last night and saw a motor
truck backing up to the bar via
Mr.. Skiados' plate-glaes show
window they began to have their
doubts.
The truck stopped against the
railing of the fountain just as its
driver, r. A. Ward, colored,
climbed through the shattered
window in hot pursuit. Consider
ably chagrinned, Ward apologized
for the trucks spree by explain
ing that he must have left her in

crank her in front of Mr.. Skiados'

While Senator Norris was arraign-
Ing the President for his appointments
to the Tariff Commission. President
Coolidge yesterday designated Thomas
o. Marvin of Boston TO serve for an
other year as chairman of the Tariff
Commission.
Mr.. Marvin, who has been regarded
as an ultra protectionist by other
members of the comisSion, has been
chairman for several years. While
William F. Culbertson. now United
States Minister to Rumania was vice
chairman of the commission. he led
one faction of the commission while
Mr.. Marvin led another. Mr.. CulberJ-
son strongly favored making the fieX-
ible provisions of the tariff law eff
fective so as to reduce some of the
duties, and he commended at the time
that Mr.. Marvin was opposing such
a course.

Farmer, True to Peace Greed, Looks On
While Neighbor Hits Wife, Court Told

Mrs. Bible said she had to fight
her own way as best she could while
he looked on. The principals in the
suit live on adjoining farms and Mr..
Bible contended Twigg broke lock
on a gate and drove a team through
the farm. He was accompanied by
his cousin.
Bible, who was with his wife in
the orchard, ordered them to leave
and during the argument, according
to the testimony, Twigg struck Mrs.
Bible in the eye and knocked her
down. When she got up he knocked
her down again while the husband
looked on.
Bible says he is a member OF the
Pentecostal sect, which forbids Vlo-
lence Twigg's testimony was that
he simply pushed the woman away
when she struck him with a stick.

1t is not the purpose Of the plans
of this regional committee that the
Federal Government shall exercise any

the commission will be merely one of
policy to join in conferences for the

Thinks Situation Curious.

Thus ends another curious chapter
in the Tariff Commissions history. 1t
indicates clearly, l think, that there
is line beyond which the President
will not go in opposing the principles
for which the three of us have stood
in the development Of the Tariff Com
mission.

held only at the pleasure of the Presi-

he suggested that the President was

ADOPT Tax Resolutions.
After a series of parliamentary ma
neuvers, the federation by vote OF
"a to II adopted a resolution favoring
the assessment and the collection or
personal tax on all stock issues Oh
public utility corporations owned ana
held in the District. 1t also went on
record as favoring the exemption OF
SO 600 of the taxed value by the as
SCISSOR OF all residences in the District
owned and occupied by the owners as
homes.
A report by the public health com
mittee submitted by its chairman,
Allan Davis, indorsing Representative
Zlhlman's bill authorizing the building
OF two artificial bathing beaches, was
adopted unanimously. The report
emphasized that the proposed bathing
facilities are a necessity for the health
and comfort of the residents OF the
Capital in Summer.
The federation again declined to
commit itself as favoring so-called
Sunday blue law" for Washington
by reaffirming it's action as opposed &c
the recognition of the economic ne
cessity of one day of rest in each
seven days" Action on this question
was provoked by an unfavorable re-
port Of the law and legislation com
mittee on a resolution adopted by the
Conduit Road Citizens Association ia
voring the enactment of "a reason
able, sane Sabbath observance law
The report, presented by Chairman
William s. Torbett, pointed out that
several proposed Sunday blue law
bills have been disapproved by the
federation because of their drastic
provisions.

that the resolution was inopportune
and that there is no appreciate pub

1t will be recalled that the ma

in forceful manner, adopted reso-
luton strongly favoring granting to
the people of Washington the same
rights nationally which are enjoyed
without question and under constftu-
tional guarantees by every citizen of
each of the 40 States. We cite this
as an example of the splendid work
the committee on conventions OF the
Citizens Joint Committee has been
doing along this line. Your commit
tee Is of the opinion that this impor-
tant work should be continued. 1t
must be borne in mind that If and
when the proposed constitutional
amendment shall be adopted by Con
sress it will fail of it's purpose unless
ratified by three-fourths of the States.

country, many of whom are woefully
ignorant of the present political stat

Ter of work Is desirable not only for
its ultimate effect, but to assist in
educating the people of the several
States so that they NAV exert an in

Statement Misinterpreted.

Some opponents Of the project to
humanise, Americanize and citizenize
the people Of Washington have taken
heart because of a recent statement
from very high parsonage, which,
unfortunately, in some quarters We
believe was enormously construed to
be in opposition to any proposals for
enfranchisement. Your committee be-
lieves that the statement was issued
under misapprehension and that 1t
was misinterpreted by the press and
by q portion of the public. These
matters are mentioned to show the
necessity for a vigorous campaign of
education to the end that even a
broader front may be presented in
the struggle to win that which should
be accorded without struggle,
which should be granted as a matter
of right and simple American justice,
but which, on account of various in
sufficient and unsound but stubborn
reasons. will have to be fought for

Ter Of establishment to your committee
that even among supposedly we'll in
formed and well intentioned people
even in the District. there is exhibite d
an appalling ignorance of the in
Justice and disabilities under which
the disfranchised Washingtoniar
rests. and there appears to be ar
equally unaccountable lack of under
standing Of what is proposed TO be
accomplished by the pending joint
resolution. A most striking illustra
ton of this is the recent reply OF the
District Commissioners to the request
Of the chairman of the Senate com
mittee on the District of Columbia fol
a report on the Jones joint resolution
In that reply the Commissioners said
In substance. that. inasmuch as 1t in

understand how any one could holt

I'm this Connection we wish par

aspects Of our cause. AS citizens OF
the United States the people Of Wash

Should Maintain Committee.

The Citizens Joint Committees or
ganization should be maintained in
order to hold together in loyalty to a
common cause men and women who
differ widely in opinion on other sub
jects than national representation.
We feel that the Citizens Joint Com
mittee and It's executive committee
might have recently shown greater
activity, but we realize that because
of the short duration Of the session
of Congress. which adjourned on the
4th OF March, 1925, and Of the pre-
ceding session, which adjourned early
in the Summer, that little could have
been accomplished before the COM
mittees of Congress. 1t should be
noted, however, that the Citizens
Joint Committee was not idle during
this period, for, through it's efforts,
representations were made to the
national conventions of the two great
political parties to have planks in
corporated in their platforms indoors
ing the principle for which we con-
tend: 1t Is not the fault of the Citi-
Zens' Joint Committee that those eff
forts were unsuccessful
1t Is gratifying to note that the
work or educating the popular mind
not only in the District, but through
out the Union, to the necessity of
this essential reform has been con-
stantly progressing. and much good
has been accomplished.
Women Active.
d, Several women's organizations have
been particularly active along this
line, and numerous speakers effec-
lively and successfully have present
cd the Just claims of the District at
great national gatherings in Wash
ington and elsewhere. While the eff.
fort to have the national congress of
the Daughters of the American Reyo.
luton indorse the movement failed,
yet much benefit to the cause accrued
by having the subject brought for
ward for consideration, aud it is con-
fidently believed that at some later
convention the D. A. r. congress will
see the light. Much credit is due to
