The Stanley Rule & Level team held second place In the Industrial League up until the last game they played with the P. 6 F. Corbin crew. In that game. the Ccrbin crew pulled out with a to 1 win and dashed the hopes of the Rulers of tieing the Landers crew.
 Still, the Stanley Rulers say that they can beat Landers and they won't be satisfied until they can clash with the league leaders on the diamond. The two teams will surely get together Saturday and then the fun will begin.
 Saturday will be the big day for the members of the Washington baseball team. The champions of the New Britain Boys League will be given the time of their lives in New York and if the party is any where near the success that last years was, it's going to be some party.
 The Washington crew will have 8 chance to see Merwin Jacobson the former local boy. in action with the Brooklyn team because they are scheduled to see the New York Giants and the Robins clash at the Polo Grounds. Dwight Skinner has the tickets already and nothing re- mains but to get started from the Hotel Burritt about ' o'clock Sat- urday morning.
 The party will first go to Bronx Park Zoo where Headkeeper Toomey will act as their personal escort through the various depart ments. They then have dinner and after that comes the baseball game.

ALL-N|CHT PARKING
BAN NOW OPPOSED
Chamber Committee FavorS
Study and Adoption of
Rule Later.

Declaring the prevention OF all
night parking of automobiles is i'm
practicable at this time, the police
and fire protection committee of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce
announced today that there should be
some regulation governing this mat
ter a year or IS months hence.
The committee felt that this prob
lem should be given very deep study
and that immediate action would
work an undue hardship on automo-
bile owners.
The committee was unanimous in
its opinion that the status Of the
Women's Bureau and of the person
mel should remain the same. This Is
in opposition to the efforts of Mrs
Van Wrinkle to make the bureau in
dependent and enlarge the force.
A number of other matters, includ-
ing the condemnation of painted trait
fic signs on the streets, particularly
the street car safety zones, the re-
straint of the sale of firearms, the
necessity of Il high pressure water
system to downtown Washington and
better lighting facilities, We're in
dorsed by the committee, of which
Charles w Darr is chairman.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for the annual Midwinter din
ner of the chamber, which is to be
held at the New Willard January 81.
Members of the House and Senate
District committee. the District Com
missioners and other prominent local
and Federal officials have been invited.
1t is expected that more than 500 will
attend.
Warren c. Kendall, chairman of
the chambers house committee. is il

gram committee, Henry c. Cole

QUESTIONS BLANKET
RELIEF MEASURES
Reclamation Commissioner Urges
Investigation Into Each
I Project Considered.

The wisdom of blanket relief meas
tres for reclamation projects, without
Investigation into each case, was
questioned in testimony by DIR. Elwood
Mead, commissioner of reclamation,
before the House subcommittee con-
sidering the Interior Department ap-
preparation bill. The testimony was
made public today.
Recalling that between 1921 and
1924 Congress had passed four relief
measures, all providing for postpone
ments in payments due the Govern
nlent from water users, DIR. Mead said:
While the intent of these relief
measures was commendable, their
operations would have been far more
valuable II they required a careful
scrutiny into individual necessities and
limited relief to those unable TO meet
their obligations. This would have
prevented the Governments gener-
osity being abused, as it has been
where relief was granted to all de-
nnquents regardless of the causes of
delinquency.
Because of the blanket feature and
an absence of necessary individual
scrutiny, we find on projects some
water users have made heroic Sacri-
fees to pay their debts to the Govern
ment in full. while others have been
chronic evaderS, not only refusing to
pay charges they We're amply able to
meet, but using their influence to in
duce other settlers to oppose these pay
ments.
There is need on all land, public
aud private, for selection of settlers,
because the cultivation of those lands,
80 as to meet high development ex-
penses. must be intensive. Plans for
farm development and economic or
ganizatiOn of communities are as es-
sential as adequate plans and esti-
mates for the engineering works. Tn.
less these are provided early or salts
factory return from the Government
investment need not be anticipated"

list, Presents Splendid
Program.

The week of dedicatory services at

Mr.. Goldthwaite possesses unusual
technical equipment and taste in reg
istration.
The program opened with Cesar
Franck's Choral, No. 3. Later,
Franck's 'Piece Heroique' received a
fine Interpretation. Short numbers
by Schumann, Karg- Ebert, Nevin and
Bonnet followed. Bach was represent
ed by an "Adagio." This was given
quaint registration and was one of
the most interesting numbers. The
concluding "Toccata" by Mulet was
played with speed and clarity and
proved a good medium to display the
virtuosity of the recitalist-
Mr.. Marville sang a recitative and
aria, Now Heaven in Fullest Glory
Shone," from The Creation" by
Haydn, and "Hallelu jah," by Hum
mel. Both these numbers were given
in fine voice and style. Miss Athey

SIR BASIL THOMSON
CONVICTED AND FINED
Assessed 95 on Charge of Miscon-
duct-Was Getting Data for
Book, He Says.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, January 5.-Sm Basil
Thomson, former Scotland Yard off
cial, was convicted today of a charge
of misconduct with woman in Hyde
Park and fined IS. The same amount
in costs was assessed. A notice that
appeal would be taken was entered.
Sir Basil was merely gathering
data for literary work when arrested
in Hyde Park on December II, it was
testified on his behalf.
After cross examination of the
police witnesses by the prosecution
the magistrate elected the statement
that Sir Basil had not protested
against the arrest while at the police
station. The defendants counsel, Sir
Henry II. Curtis Bennett, declared he
would call witnesses who knew of
Sir Basils intentions TO write about
Communism, Hyde Park and Solici-
tation in the west end generally, and
to get his material by visiting the
park at night.
1t was during Il conversation with
the woman to get such material, said
the counsel, that the police made
their charge.
Reginald Mckenna, former chan
cellor of the exchequer, and Vice Ad
miral Sir Reginald Hall gave evidence
regarding Sir Basil's character.
Sir Basil confirmed his counsels
statement that he was in the park
to gather material on Communism,
as he had been informed that man
he wanted to hear would speak there.
On the way he was accosted by
woman and sat down with her to get
material for his book. After some
conversation she complained that she
was In need of money, and he gave
her two or three shillings from his
waistcoat pocket, whereupon the con-
stables rushed up and announced their
intention of arresting them for in
decency. Sir Basil declared the con
stables charges were untrue.

Miss Loeb said she was authorized
to speak for the officers Of the Ma
tional Child Welfare Association, and
especially for Miss Margaret Wilson,
vice president of the Child Welfare
Committee of America, who had ex-
pected to attend the hearings and
who sent the message that she hoped
model legislation to take care of every
needy child in the National Capital
might soon be passed.
William Phelps Emo, a director of
the Child Welfare Committee of Amer
lea, who knows conditions in the Ma
tional Capital from a residence of %
years here, spoke earnestly in support
of a separate board to administer
mothers aid as distinct from public
charities.
Mrs. George Kicker, president of the
District of Columbia League of Wom-
ems Voters, said her organization
wants whatever is the best that can
be done for the children. If this COM
promise can be effected, she is sure
that all well-minded persons, in the
District of Columbia will SUPPORT the
legislation.

Mrs. Kahn Joins
House Committee
Against Dry Act

Mrs. Florence Kahn of California
is the second of the three woman
members of Congress to accept
membership on the unofficial House
committee for modification of the
Volstead act.
In letter to Representative
Hill, Republican, Maryland. who
headed the organization in the last
Congress, she said:
While ! believe In law enforce
ment, ] am confident that the
evils attendant upon the Volstead
act as now enforced are far greater
than any that could possibly fol
low its modification to the extent
of permitting manufacture and
sale of light wines and beer.
NO one could have listened with
equanimity to the pleas made by
the so-called 'drys' in the recent
debate In the House, to be per
mitted to use fraud, lies, deceit and
extravagant sums of money to OBJ
tain evidence to enforce prohibit
ton laws, and not realize they
were undermining the whole moral
fabric of our Nation"
Mrs. Kahn is a Republican. Mrs.
Mary 7. Norton of New Jersey,
the only woman Democrat in the
House, recently accepted member
ship on the same committee.

100000 is NEEDED TO RESTORE
CUSTIS MANSION AT ARLINGTON
Estimate of Amount Necessary to Comply With Act
Authorizing Repairing Gen. Lees Home Is Cut
About $l25 900 by War Department.

1t Is estimated by the War Depart
ment that an appropriation by Con-
gresS Of 100000 will enable it to
restore the old Gusts Mansion in the
Arlington National Cemetery to the
general condition In which 1t existed
immediately prior to the Civil War,
when 1t was occupied by Gen. Robert
r.. Lee, at the time he resigned from
the United States Army to assume
command of the military forces of the
Confederacy
An act was passed March T. 1925,
directing the Secretary of War to re-
store the building as stated, but as it
carried no appropriation 1t could not
be put into effect. In addition to pro-
Viding for the repair and rehabilita-
ton OF the old colonial mansion, the
act provided for repla cling the original
furniture and equipment II such arti-
cles could be procured, and If not, the
procurement, either by gift or pur-
chase, of suitable substitutes.
No Funds Available.
Several months ago the quarternas-
ter general of the Army, who has di-
rect supervision of the cemetery, was
directed to make an investigation of
the matter. In his report he said no
funds were available to execute the
provisions of the act, and estimated
that II would require 1925, 900 to do
80. He pointed out that 1t was practi-
cally impossible to trace and recover
the original furniture and equipment
at this late date, and though some suit
able substitutes might be donated the
bulk Of the interior furnishings. SINH
lar to the originals, would have to be
purchased in the open market, and
might not be obtainable even in that
manner.
The report showed also that the
mansion itself. with the two low stone
buildings in the rear, formerly occu-
pied by the slave help. were in need
OF considerable repairs and would have
to be repainted and touched up. At
present the mansion is occupied by
the superintendent OF the cemetery as
residence and also for offices for
himself and his assistants. The quar-
