DISAPPROVE GERRY BILL.
Commissioners Prefer Alternate Wei
fare Measure

The District Commissioners diSap-
proved the Gerry bill, providing for the
creation of a board OF public welfare
in Washington, yesterday afternoon,
on the ground that a similar measure
drafted by the Public Welfare Com
mission and introduced in the Senate
recently represents about the best
thought for remedial legislation o..
the subject"
The Gerry bill. it was explaine
contains, in substance, many of the
provisions of the welfare commissions
measure, but differs from the latter
in some respects. 1t constitutes the
Board of Commissioners as the Board
of Public Welfare instead of the board
of nine members as provided in the
commissions bill.
1t also provides for the appointment
of two directors at an annual salary
of $4,000 each, while the commission $
salary range of from $500 to Sc 900
In addition. the Gerry bill provides an
advisory parole commission and it in
creases the time which a prisoner
must serve before parole NAV &c
granted from one-third of the time,
which Is now law, to two-thirds
The Commissioners report on the
bill was made to Senator Capper,
chairman of the Senate District COM
mittee. They declared to give them
more responsibility In addition TO the
"su0era dded" duties they now have
would be inadvisahle THE duties
now placed unon the Board of Com
missionerS" the renort said. ARE such
that it can scarcely find time to give
them the proper attention"

Fascist LAMENT.
Organ Hits Won Hintlerburg i'm 'IIOch
der Kaiser" Editorial

BERLIN, January - (P.-The for
mer kaiser's 9th birthday today
brings a bitter lament from the
Deutsche ZeitunE, Fascist organ, that
Non' Hindenburg' presidency has not
realized the hopes for a return of the
monarchy. In an editorial concluding
"Hoch der Kaiser" the paper says:
The present head Of the nation, in
whom countless well intentioned PEG.
pie see a chairwarmer for the mon
archy, attempts to solve the problem
of acting as a mediator and creating
a true union of the people. This prob,
lem, judging by the lessons of the
more recent history of our country
cannot be solved"
The paper expresses hope that in
view of these facts President Won Hin.
denburg will rid himself of his false
advisers"
The Fascist today are holding pro.
Kaiser meetings, while the Republican
reichsbanner organization Is demon
strating in behalf of the republic.
The Communists announce mass
meetings throughout the city for to-
night to adopt resolutions favoring
appropriation of the property OF the
former German rulers.

The application Of the Capital Trac-
ton Co. to establish a de luxe bus
line to operate from Thirty fourth and
Ordway streets to Eleventh and E

tenn instead of the standard overhead
suburban trolley when the tracks are
relaid.

SEEKS ANMUL MENT.
David Mackie, Jr., Claims Wife
Kept Former Divorce From Him.

David Mackie, jr., 110S Vermont
avenue, formerly an Army officer, to-
day asked the District Supreme Court
to annul his marriage to Anna W
Mackie and for an injunction to pre-
vent her representing herself as his
wife. Mackie, through Attorney Cod
frey l.. Munter, told the court that
his wife concealed from him the fact
that she was defendant in a suit for
an absolute divorce brought by her
former husband, Henry E. Ridenour,
and that the husband was given "a
decree by which, under the District
code, the guilty party may not re-
marry.
The plaintiff said he was attached to
a nearby camp and met the defendant
while here on leave and that October
5, 1918, she persuaded him to go 20
Rockville with her and be married.
He declared she previously had Sc
cured a marriage license and had
made arrangements with the preach
err without his knowledge.
Mackie charges his wife has vicious
attacks of temper and uses boisterous
language. Once she threw a piece of
china at him, he claims, which struck
him in the left eye.

or nine members, to be appointed by
tne commissioners, together with an
executive who would serve as di-
rector of public welfare
Justice Siddons explained to the
committee that it has been for many
years an established policy Of Con-
greSs to solve local problems by the
creation OF boards which give the peo-
pie OF the District a means of taking
part In the affairs of their city. He
pointed out, however, that in pur-
suing this principle a multiplicity of
boards had grown up and that it was
the general feeling that the time had
come to coordinate in one board the
several agencies dealing with wei
fare activities.
MISS Boardman explained the OBJ
Jectlon TO Senator Gerry's proposal.
that instead of d board there should
De TWO directors working under the
commissioners, one to handle charita
Die functions and the other to direct
penal institutions. Miss Boardman
commended that much of the welfare
work of the existing bodies is inter
locking and that the very purpose
OF seeking welfare legislation is to
prlng them together under one au
thorlty rather than separate them.
Fears Shifting Responsibility.
Mrs. Swormstedt told the commit
tee 1t has been her experience that
divided authority in any line of actiV
lty Is unwise, because it leaves room
for shifting of responsibility.
Senator Gerry had also provided in
his bill for system of paroline pris-
oners in the District. which Justice
Slddons pointed out is already being
well taken care of by the Federal
parole board. He reminded the Sena-
tor that all offenses in the District of
Columbia. other than violations of
municipal regulations. are offenses
against the United States, and that
paroles are handled by the Federal
board. He said he discovered for the
first time a few days ago that Con
sress more than 80 years ago sought
to confer upon the Commissioners
powers OF a parole board. but they
have never attempted to exercise that
power. and Justice SiddonS testified
that he doubted whether Congress
had the authority to delegate such
powers to the Commissioners.
Senator Copeland made the sus-
Eestion that Senator Gerry be advised
that the parole legislation which he
Incorporated in his welfare bill should
he considered as separate measure.
He indicated that he thought the Dis
trict committee would be willing to
consider that part of Senator Gerry's
bill separately.
The committee decided today to
postpone consideration for the time
being of the Shipstead bill to abolish
capital punishment in the District.

In this connection Or. Corbett read

The District commissioners have

dilapidation. The present condition
Of the roadway is such as to make
progress across the bridge one of
discomfort and danger. Suuch re-
pairs as have been made are of de-
cidedlv fiimsy character and are de-
signed to give no more than tempo
rary relief. Both District and Aramv

steel bottom to the bridge is necessary
TO give an acceptable roadway"

the two bills before Congress, one pro
viding authority TO rthe connection of

Anniversary Observed With
 Family at POCantiCO Hills

Tarrytown, July Pl-There are two anniversaries in the life of John D. Rockefeller which he celebrates each year. his birthday and the day he got is first job. The birthday is today The other day is in Septem- Der.
 In the village of Richford, N. Y, the modern Croesus was born. Rich" was quite q contrary descrip- ton of the financial resources of the Rockefeller family when he was born, eighty-seven years ago today, but hard work and constant activity have been his creed during his long life. nearly a score of years more than the allotted span of three-score and ten. His working days over, Mir. Rockefeller contrives to spend each birthday on the golf links. and to his indulgence in the ancient game he attributes his continued good health. In it, too, he places his faith that a cherished ambition to live to be one hundred will be achieved.
 Birthdays with the one-time head Of the Standard Oil Company have now become somewhat routine. so much so that he is said to dislike the thought Of them. His happiest day of the year, he recently admit ted, it is September 26. which marks his entry into the world of business. On that day, now nearly seventy-one years ago, he found his first job, which paid him exactly six cents an hour. His present income is several thousands times that amount with every tick of the clock.
 As these two anniversaries roll around. quiet observances are held, and, insofar as the birthdays are concerned, the same story might be used each time, in effect that his im- mediate family were present at the family dinner at his Pocantico Hills estate. held after he shall have play ed once around his nine-hola golf

ADJOURNING PUTS
 QUIETUS ON PROBE
Primary Expose and Alien Property Gases SidetraCked

Washington, Jul yS LP>-Although
 members didn't expect much of that
 sort Of thing when congress adjourn-
 led Saturday, vacation time has over taken committees assigned to con- duct investigations during, the sum- .mer recess.
 Not only has the senate campaign
 funds committee decided to stop
 work until July 26, when it plans to begin it's inquiry into the Illinois re- publican primary, but the special
 committee named 10 investigate the alien property custodian's office has discovered that the resolution
 authorizing it provides no funds with which to operate.
 This committees empowering res olution, drafted by Senator King,
 democrat, Utah, compiled with all requirements of an old law govern ing such matters, but did not set
 forth an estimate of the cost of the
 inquiry, as required by d new law. 1t has not been developed whether "a similar situation confronts the
 group directed under another King resolution to investigate charges that American citizens in Cuba have been deprived Of their rights and that Ambassador Crowder has fail ed 10 protect American interests. Unless Chairman Reyes of the icommittee on contingent expenses, finds it possible to authorize eXpen- Iditures of S25,o00, the alien property icommittee may have to postpone most if not all of its activities until Ithe senate recOnvenes. Chairman Borah estimates that s25,00O is needed, and thinks it is unlikely lthat & way can be found to provide the found with congress in adjourn Iment. Even so, Senator King de- clared. the situation will only de lay matters a few months" and he is Of the opinion that much of the preliminary work can be done dur ing the summer.
