0ATHFOR COUNCIL
MAY Be DROPPED
Commissioners Seen Ready
to Accept Offer of Citi-
zenS' BODY.

The offer of the Citizens Advisory
| Council to give up the voluntary oath
Of office taken by its members, in
order to meet an objection of the
trade organizations of the District
who questioned legality Of this pro-
cedure, probably will be accepted by
the Commissioners, it was indicated
today at the District Building.
The council made it's offer to dis
pense with the informal oath IN a
report to the Commissioners several
weeks ago, which was designed as Il
reply to the veiled attack Of the trade
bodies.
While the Commissioners. as a board,
have not yet given official considera-
ton to the councils offer, Commits
sioner Proctor l.. Dougherty intimated
that it probably would be taken up
some time this week. The Commits
sioner said he was unable to prophesy
what action the board would take in
respect to the offer. but indications
are that it will be accepted.
The Commissioners, 1t was pointed
out, are anxious that all of the civic
organizat tions in the District work in
harmony for the best interests of the
city. They are represented as feeling
that If the oath of office taken by
members of the council is a cause of
friction. it can be removed by ac'
cepting the councils offer without in
terfering with the activities of that
body.

FARMERS MARKET
REPORT IS READY
Data on Various Sites Will
Be Submitted to City
Heads Tomorrow.

A report outlining the merits of the
various sites proposed for the new
Farmers Produce Market, prepared by
Maj. w. T.. r. Covell, Acting Engineer
Commissioner in the absence of Col
William B. Ladue, will be submitted
to the Board of Commissioners at Its
semi-weekly meeting tomorrow morn
ing. it was announced today at the
District Building.
The report Is based on an exhauS-
tive study Maj. Covell made of the
voluminous data submitted to the
Commissioners In support of the diff
ferent sites. While it contains no
recommendation. it is understood that
Maj. Covell has made several definite
conclusions with respect to the pro.
posed market sites.
According to Maj. Covell, the report
Is intended to serve as guide to
the Commissioners in selecting q site.
The Commissioners are required by
congressional direction to recommend
a site before December Is which will
not cost in excess of $600,000.
AS soon as Maj. Covell's report is
received the Commissioners plan to
make a personal inspection of the
various sites, and then draw up their
recommendation for Congress. The
recommendation will be embodied in
a report which the Commissioners
hope to send to the Capitol in about
two weeks.
Maj. Covell was assigned by the
Commissioners to study the market
site data and prepare a summarized
report for their consideration because
of the efficient manner in which he
handled the municipal airport prob.
lem. He has devoted a major portion
of his time to the market question
ever since it was referred to him, fol.
lowing the public hearings in October.

Mgr. Zaccaria Martinez Y Nunez,

titular Bishop of Tarsus. who will re.
place Cardinal Billot as French cardi.
nal of the curia.
The selection Of the new cardinals
is regarded as most important. First.
because the pontif has chosen all nom
Italians, and second. because the new
princes of the church are almost en-.
tirely from among the religious orders.
BY selecting non-Italians the Pope has
brought the proportion in the sacred
college almost equal between Italians
and non.Italians. since the former
now number 80 and the latter. with
the new cardinals, will number 81.
Archbishop Rouleau is Dominican.
Archbishop NuneZ Is an Agostinian

THEATER TRANSFER
IS REPORTED HERE
Metropolitan and Earle to Be
lnterchanged, Amuse-
ment Men Hear.

Well founded reports involving
negotiations for an exchange of the.
aters between the Metropolitan and
Earle Theaters, both under the man.
agement of the Stanley-Crandall Co.
of Washington. were the chief topic
today in local amusement circles.
Two weeks hence, it Is said. the
Metropolitan Theater, with it's $780,.
900 orchestra, will move into the
palatial quarters now occupied by the
Earle vaudeville house. The Metro.
politan Theater Is to be renovated
and eventually will be turned into a
vaudeville house under the Earle
management.
No Denial Made.
While no denial was made at the
Office of either theater that some such
deal is under way, all inquiries were
referred to Harry Nj. Crandall. man.
ager of the amusement company.
Mr.. Crandall. however. was inaccess.
ible at this time.
Competition In motion picture cir.
cles, heightened by the recent opening
OF the Fox Theater, is given as the
reason for the proposed transfer of
the two theaters. The Earle Theater
Is one of the largest and most hand.
somely equipped in Washington and
Is situated block from the center
Of the F street movie" district.
While no confirmation could be OBJ.
tanned, 1t Is understood that the or.
chestra members of the Earle have
been given two weeks notice.
BY moving into the Earle Theater.
the Metropolitan management would
be making a bold bid at competing
with the newer and larger Fox The.
ater. The stage at the Earle is un.
usually large and we'll adapted for the
presentation of vaudeville features
sharing honors with the motion pic.
lures, and the Metropolitan Theater,
with some stage changes. can we'll be
adapted to use as q vaudeville house.
Prices Reduced.
The Metropolitan, on f street be-.
tween Ninth and Tenth streets. is the
most important of the so-called chain
of Crandall motion picture theaters.
Recently it reduced it's prices to meet
the inroads of competit on but has
not stressed vaudeville features to
the extent of some other motion pic
ture houses.
Under the plan now :eported the
facilities at the Earle Theater will
enable the metropolitan management
to offer vaudeville in Connection with
the feature films on a bigger scale
than before.
Motion pictures in other cities,
notable in the case of the Capitol
Theater in. New York. have faced the
same situation and have been COM
PEELED to meet the demands for
vaudeville and picture bills on an
ella borate scale.
