by the Association Against the Prohi-

just as any other organization would
have to do in such cases. The league
has never hesitated to give the facts
to any congressional investigating
committee, such as the committee
which, in 1917, investigated the brew
ers and their connection with the
German-American Alliance, the pres
ent primary investigating committee
and the committee on the alcoholic
liquor traffic, but 1t has not paid the

The Association Against the Prohibit

to political party organizations, al
though Stayton testified under oath
that they never gave a cent to a po-
litical party. The records also show
that this wet organization was incor-
porated for educational purposes and
operated for political purposes without
complying with the provisions Of the
Federal corrupt practices act. The
League. on the other hand,
has raised and spent it's money in ac-
cordance with the law.
''The report Of the delegates sent
by the United States to the Interna-
tional Congress Against Alcoholism, at
Copenhagen, was printed by order Of
the Senate. That was no Anti-Saloon

CITY TREE-PLANTING
PROGRAM CUT IN HALF

Failure of the District to receive
750 trees from private nurseries will
cut the Spring tree-planting program
in half, 1t was announced today by
Clifford Lanham, superintendent of
trees and parkings.
Plans were made to set out 1900
trees. but the District was able to
supply only 750 from it's nurseries.
Bids were then asked for supplying
500 Norway naples and $50 red oaks
When the contract was let, however,
the successful bidder refused to make
a delivery on the ground that his
trees had started to bud and could
not be moved. As no bond was
exacted to require him to fulhl his
contract, Mr.. Lanham said 1t Is
doubtful II the District can force the
contractor to make delivery.

Appeal to McCarI for Relief
From Conditions Due to

Touched by the element OF human
suffering involved in the failure OF

appropriation bill, which carried $780,
900 in pension and compensation items
for 1000 persons In the District, prac-
tically all of whom are dependent

haust every possible recourse in an

Trial, and Mayor.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MUNCIE, Ind, March 31.-George

Democrat, was arrested on q charge
of criminal libel at his home here this
morning by Sheriff Harry B. Nc

in Jail in lieu of $4,000 bond.
Dale's newspaper on February 1s

ment charging criminal libel against
the editor. It was on this indictment
that he was arrested today.
Case to End Today.
Impeachment charges were prefer
red against Judge Dearth by the In
diana House of Representatives,
charging restraint of free interchange
of thought and restricting freedom OF
speech and the press as we'll as ir-
regular practices in connection with
the selection of juries in the Delaware
Circuit Court, over which the judge
presides. The case, now being heard
by the State Senate, Is expected to
be concluded late today or tomorrow.
The 60-year-old publisher. who has
conducted a journalistic war on the
Judge for several years and who now
has a 90-day contempt sentence up
for appeal by the United States
Supreme Court, refused to say
whether he would attempt to furnish
bond.
He has been living in Fort Re-
coyery, Ohio, just across the Indiana
line. and his wife has been editing
the weekly publication. He returned
home last night when he learned of
the illness of a young son.

Stresses Adult Education.

cation was stressed by Mrs. Aurella

College, California, and president OF
the association, in her opening ad-
dress to the delegates. I'VE have al
ready made an approach to 1t, she
said, "but some day a project Will be

England and we will enlarge our con-
cept of the possibilities Of adult educa-
tion.''
Progress is the shaping of collegiate
courses to meet the requirements OF

CAPT. NEIDE DEAD.

Capt. Erskine Neide, a retired officer
Of the Quartermaster Corps, who was
appointed to the Army in June, 1915.
from the District Of Columbia, died at
San Francisco last Monday, the War
Department is informed.
He was born in Pottstown, Pa.

the University of Pennsylvania. Dur.
ing the World War he was on duty In
the general intermediate depot in this
city and afterward in the Office of the

tions operating at present were allow
ed to continue, 1t would have to be
done either by restricting the power,
diminishing the geographic separa-
ton for a given frequency separation.
or dividing time, any OF which would
diminish service to the listeners Of the
country.
The brief said. in part:
"In order to provide a distribution
of stations with as wide an average
spacing as possible between frequen-
cies, the following approximations
may be used as a guide:
National stations over 200 and
less than 500 miles apart should have
frequencies not less than 20 kilocycles
apart; national stations less than 200
miles apart should have frequencies
not less than so kilocycles apart, and
local stations of one-half kilowatt as
signed the same frequency should
not be less than 600 miles apart-cor-
respondingly shorter distances may
be used for stations Of lower power.
Permits Full Time.
"This last principle allows q large
number of local stations on full time
to be licensed. If all are allowed
the maximum of 500 watts, there
would be approximately 800 possible
stations. "'S
THE principles above outlined in-
dicate that 81 national stations and
several hundred local stations can be
provided for without interference or
time diversion. Such an array Of sta
tions can readily provide not only ade-
Quate but fair, efilcient and equitable
radio service to every community In
the United States. as required by the
radio act Of 1927" (which created the
Radio Commission).
"The brief held that widening of
the broadcast frequency band is i'm
practicable because of the inability OF
millions OF receiving sets now In use
to operate o. 'er such a widened band
and said this also could be accom-
plsihed only by narrowing "one Or
more bands for other useful RADIO
