TO COST 100000
Site at Connecticut Avenue

for Edifice Here.

Bringing to final fruition the toll
and dreams of several decades, a plan
is nearing naturalization for the con-
struction here of magnificent new
Presbyterian church, to cost little
less than $2,000,000 and to constitute
the representative house of worship
for the Presbyterian Church in the
United States Of America, more COM
monty known as the Northern Pres

A fitting companion In every detail

greater church it win represent.
The necessary steps already have
been taken to assure the acquisition
of this property, in the heart of one
of the most beautiful sections of the
National Capital, and which. until a
few weeks ago. was to have been the
site of large apartment house. At
a meeting of the presbytery, the ex-
ecutive authority of the church, to be
held here on February IA. other de-
tails in connection with the project
probably will be decided.

fund for it's construction is to be
raised among these congregations

SEATING OF SMITH
IMMEDIATELY is
PLEA OF COUNSEL
Senate Elections Committee
Defers Action on Request
Until Session Wednesday.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Formal request that the privileges
and elections committee make a par
tial report. under the Reed resolution,
recommending the immediate seating
of Col. Frank L. Smith. Senator-desig-
nate from Illinois, was made to the
committee late yesterday by counsel
for. Col. Smith.
The committee is to meet Wednes.
day morning to determine what
answer shall be made to the REQUEST,
The Reed resolution, adopted by the
Senate by vote Of As to 80, when It
declined more than a week ago 70
permit Col. Smith to be sworn in and
referred his case to the committee,
has two parts. It is under the first
part, which directs the committee to
Inquire into the question whether Col.
Smith should be sworn in, accepting
his credentials as prima facie evidence
of that right, that the request for a
partial report is made. The second
part Of the resolution directs the COM
mittee to inquire into the right OF Col.
Smith to retain a. seat in the Senate.
Viewed as Futile.
Some members OF the committee
last night were inclined to take the
view that to report to the Senate that
Col. Smith should be seated forthwith
and then investigated under the sec
ond part Of the Reed resolution would
be to put up to the Senate the very
question which it has already passed
upon, and that it would be a futile
action.
The committeeman, however, except
for a few who have been strongly
opposed to the seating Of Col. Smith,
were disinciined to predict the action
of the committee. 1t happens that
of the 10 members of the committee
8 favored the immediate swearing in
of Col. Smith at the time Of the Sen
ate vote referring the matter to the
committee, and opposed such action.
II the committeeman should vote
Wednesday as they voted In the Sen
ate. the request of the Smith counsel
doubtless would be granted and the
debate over the right Of Col. Smith
to be sworn in would again be pre-
cipitated in the Senate.
Such a report, however, would
probably result, 1t was said last night.
in the same action by the Senate as
that taken before, and Col Smith
would again be denied the right to be
sworn in. Furthermore, 1t would
scarcely accord with the plans of the
leaders, anxious to complete the work

TREASURY PLEADS
!. FOR DRY ACT SPIES
Cannot Properly Enforce
Prohibition Without Under
cover Men, Is View.

Declaring that conspiracies to vio-
late the prohibition law are Nation
wide and highly organized, Treasury
officials told the Senate in a message
yesterday afternoon that without the
employment of under-cover methods
enforcement will be handicapped al
most to the point of failure"
The prohibition officials did not
sanction illegal practices on the part
of dry agents, but said IL is necessary
that men be employed who are quail
fed to act as spies in the camps of
those who conspire to violate the pro-
hibition laws
The document was in the form of a
supplemental report on the resolution
of Senator Reed. Democrat. of Missouri
calling for data regarding under-cover
methods. The letter, signed by Gen.
Andrews and Internal Revenue Com
missioner Blair, said the Government
Is in particular need of "a highly de-
veloped department of intelligence to
keep the forces of society informed as
to the personnel and methods used by
the lawbreakers.'
Must Consider Problem.
IN this latest report the Treasury
officials state that the situation with
regard to prohibition conspiracies
presents a problem which Congress
and the public must consider. The re-
port follows:
"Supplementing our letter to you of
the 25th, we advise that there has
just been brought to our attention a
case similar to the four mentioned in
our previous report. This case was
conducted by assistants in the office
Of United States attorney at whose
request a local agent of the special
intelligence unit of the Bureau of In
terna1 Revenue assisted. This oper-
alton extended over a five weeks pc
riod in the Fall of 1925 and was then
discontinued.
THE evidence obtained resulted in
the arrest and indictment of some 20
persons engaged in the illegal diver
sion of industrial alcohol. 1t is under
stood the case will be shortly brought
to trial. To give the details of this
operation to the public at this time
would jeopardiZe the success of these
prosecutions.
ViOlafOrs Highly Organized.
"This brings us to a consideration
of the whole subject of law enforce
ment as regards the national pro-
hibition laws. The enforcement of
these laws presents a problem which
the public and the Congress must
consider. Unlike other criminal laws,
violations are not specific and limited
to individual cases where only at most
small group is concerned. The
country is faced with numerous, vast
and continuing conspiracies.
'It must be recognized that viola
tions are Nationwide in their occur
renee and almost without number
To meet this condition, the Federal
Government must concentrate it's ef-
forts upon the large, well organized
illegal operations that develop and
maintain the sources of supply and
the wholesale distribution. Illegal
traffic of this character, and on such
a scale Is a menace to the stability
of well organized society and to the
common welfare.
THE men engaged in this illegal
work have practically unlimited
financial resources from the tre-
mendous profits their trade offers;
