PUBLIC HEARINGS

Subcommittee to Carry Fight
for Consideration to
Judiciary Group.
By the Associated Press.

| Decision whether a flood Of testi.

will depend largely on how much sup

Over the Senator's protest the sub

ask the full committee to hold hear

and he announced that his fight would
be taken to the committee itself.

Advisers to Meet.
The Joint legislative committee, ac-
cording to its chairman, William H.

its testimony to be given against pro.

tee comprises representatives of the
American Federation of Labor, the

Moderation League, Inc.
Under the subcommittee program,
consideration of the bill by Senator
Edwards, Democrat, New Jersey, for
repeal Of the Volstead act, would be
postponed indefinitely, leaving five
other measures on which to focus
testimony. The first Of these Is the
constitutional amendment proposed by
Senator Bruce to give the Govern
ment control Of manufacture and dis.
tribution Of intoxicants and to restore
local option.
Others for Modification.
The other four bills would modify
the Volstead act-one by Senator Ed
wards to legaliZe per cent beer; two
by Senator Edge to legalize 2.75 per
cent beer and also beer mot intoxi-
eating in fact" and a fourth to remove
the present restriction Of prescription
whisky.
The subcommittee believes the testi-
mony should not enter the wide chan
mel Of debate as to whether prohibi-
ton has been a success or failure, but
should be confined to the bills under
consideration.
Senators Edge and Edwards plan to
call law enforcement officers, ministers

WOULD BAR STAGE
TO YOUNG CHILDREN
School Attendance Director
Seeks to Prevent Paid
Appearances.

Alarmed over the appearance of
school children in paid theatrical per-
formances and their growing prefer
ence for Charlestoning rather than
studying. Miss Fay l.. Bentley, di-
rector OF the department Of school at
tendance and work permits. today is
taking steps to put an end to this
situation.
Armed with data concerning two
specific cases. Miss Bentley conferred
with Daniel Garges, secretary. Board
Of District Commissioners, yesterday
afternoon to learn whether the neces.
sary permits had been issued in these
cases as required by the 1908 child
labor law. She found they had not,
and made 1t plain that she will call a
halt on further reliance Of Washing
ton theatrical managers upon school
children under IA years Of age to ''f1ll
in" on their programs.
Mr.. Garges assured Miss Bentley
that 1t has been the policy of the
Commissioners not to issue permits to
school children under IA years to ap-
pear at paid theatrical performances,
even on so-called amateur nights"
He said that the 10 permits which
have been issued since January, for
the most part. have gone to out-of-
town children coming here with pro-
fessional troupes.
1t is the view at the Franklin School
that many parents have been permit
ting their children to take part in
the theatrical performances without
the knowledge that permits were
necessary. 1t Is also believed that
some parents who have obtained per.
I'd nrvlA
considered them blanket authority
for their children to continue indefi.
nitely in such entertainments.
Miss Bentley. therefore. first will
thoroughly acquaint parents with the
necessity for getting 4 permit for each
appearance of their children, and then
she will receive the cooperation of
the Commissioners by not having such
permits issued when the appearance
of the children will in any way inter.
fere with their school work.
Only within the past few days
school children under IL, 1t is said,
appeared at a motion picture house in
the northeast, while another case in
wolves prominent dance hall. In
the northeast case the children are
said TO have appeared on a school
night.
School officials believe that the par
ticipation of school children under IA
years is detrimental to their school
work for several reaSons-first, 1t is
found that they spend time in the
theatrical work which should go to
study periods. while in many cases
they are 50 fatigued from their night
appearances that they stay home from
school the next day. Also it tends to
develop yearning for 'the great
white way" which is considered most
detrimental.

the situation. It's one of despair
and dismay from his point of view.
The arrest of one-flfth Of it's citizens
he said, will likely give Washington
a reputation of being a crime-ridden
city, which is far from the truth.
The majority of the arrests thus
far this year, S,543 to be exact, were
for violation of the traffic regulations.
Five hundred and ninety were for
felonies and the rest were for mis-
cellaneous minor offenses.
Maj. Hesse is inclined to believe that
the great number of arrests is due
primarily to a large number of regula-
tions against minor offenses, which he
is charged with enforcing.
Arrests in 1925 totaled 7S,017, ac-
cording to the police departments rec
ord, but Maj. Hesse is confident that
this number will be far exceeded this
year.
