S9,433,604 Invested by
Wall st. in Buying
Voters for President

WASHINGTON, Feb, 28.-The Of
fetal figures for national and state
campaign expenses are announced
today by the senate campaign funds
investigating committee as $9,433,-
GOA for the republican party and
$7,192,511 for the democratic. This
is as usual. Only once in history
has the party spending the most
money in the campaign failed to win
the election. But the funds an
nounced are merely the official
figures. The heaviest expenditures
in elections are the illegal, slush
funds released on the day of the cleo
ton, locally but according to a pre-
arranged plan. These sums never
show in the official figures.

COOLIDGE SIGNS
new WAR BILL
II Millions to Be Used
for Preparations

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Presi-
dent Coolidge yesterday signed the
bill appropriating S171S5,610 for
army housing projects in various
parts of the United States, the
Canal Zone and the insular posses
sions.
Most of the funds appropriated
in the bill will be devoted to con-
struction of hospitals, barracks and
officers quarters at army posts.
During the last war, some delay
in mobilization and training of the
millions of conscripts was occa-
stoned by the lack of barracks.
This saved many lives of men who
did not get across until the war was
near it's end, and will be remedied
in the next war by having plenty of
building done in the pre-war days.

FANATICS KILL
MEXICO MINERS
|. L. D. Responds to the
Appeal

The International Labor Defense
has received the following cable from
the Mexican section of the Interna-
tional Red Aid at Mexico City:
Fanatics assaulted mining camp;
burned workers homes and union
building. Many comrades, men and
women killed. Need Immediately
5000, which will be returned in APP
ril. We are penniless and are asking
help desperately. There is necessity
for national agitation against Grim
inal fanatics of reaction. The Amer
lean I. l.. D. must show complete
solidarity with the Mexican workers
and peasants"
Concerning this news of the MUIR
derous attack on Mexican workers
and the appeal connected Herewith,
the National Office of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"This killing of Mexican workers
and their families chow many is not
known because of the censorship is
the continuation of the brutal attack
by American imperialism upon the
tin-American workers and peas
ants, a policy which has already
found two victims in Julio Mella and
Montenegro, leaders in the Latin
American revolutionary movement.
"The International Labor Defense
is cabling to the Mexican l. L. D.
Immediately pledging the fullest aid
in the struggle against Yankee i'm
perialism and asking for further
information on the killing.

ing 13,600,0U0 rubles ard imports
increasing 100000 rlibies as COM

REICHSTAG VOTES
DOWN RED MOTION
in A BIG SESSION
Social Democrats for
Backing Imperialists

BERLIN, Feb. 28.-The Commu-
mist motion of confidence in the Ger
man government, sharply criticizing
the ne wGerman imperialism and its
ocial-democretic supporters, was
voted down in the Reichstag today.
The crisis which is now gripping
the coalition regime, was momen-
tarily delayed when the Peoples
Party, of which foreign minister
Gustave Stresemann is head, voted
in an ambiguous way late last night
to support the coalition, despite the
desire of its industrialist members
for reduction in taxes and their
dissatisfaction with the proceedings
of the PREPARATIONS committee.
The "Steel Helmets" fascist or
ganization of Germany, has been
holding provocative demonstrations
for week and it's speakers declare
that the time has come for an open
dictatorship. The Catholic Centrist
Party, encouraged by the pact be-
tween the pope and Mussolini, is al
so encouraging the erection of a
fascist dictatorship.
The crisis, however, seems to have
been delayed for the moment, and
the moderate elements (reformists)
seem to have taken the situation in
hand for fear that too drastic a
move towards dictatorship may
rouse the workers to civil war.

Foch Near Death

PARIS, Feb. 2S.--Marshal Ferd-

of a lung and kidney disease which
physicians say is normally fatal. He
is now in the fourth crisis.
Foch is a war victim, tho not In

fire, but has succumbed to the fast
life and heavy eating Of general
headquarters, miles out Of range Of
cannon shot, while conscript work
ers died on the firing line.

The vague formulation of the
cable, leaving out the place Of the

probably due to censorship establish

DEALERS TO ENFORCE
AUTO INSPECTION ACT
All Maryland Cars Must Be Tested
by July Is Under
New Law.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, June 8.-The law
enacted by the last Legislature which
requires inspections at stated intervals
of all automobiles owned in the State
was the principal matter considered by
the Montgomery County Automobile
Dealers Association at its monthly
meeting held at the Montgomery County
Country Club, Rockville, last evening.
Approximately 10000 machines are
owned in Montgomery County, it was
stated, and under the law all must be
inspected as to brakes, steering appa-
ratus, lights, safety devices, ETC., be-
tween June Is and July Is. The dealers
of the county will, it was explained be
designated by the State motor vehicle
commissioner to make these examina-
lions. but are to receive no compensa-
ton for the work. Heavy penalties are
provided for failure to comply with the
law.
The association last evening decided
to go out on publicity campaign so
that ignorance cannot be urged as an
excuse by those who might fail to have
their cars inspected within the specified
period. The feasibility of using the
radio is being considered and may, it
was said, be resorted to.
The meeting. was conducted by the
president, Edgar Reed. and was attended
by 16 dealers and invited guests. The
usual nne dinner was enjoyed.

Congress Of the preceding year, the
State of Virginia has been in de facto
possession of the county Of Alexandra,
which prior thereto formed a part OF
the District of Columbia. The political
department of her government mas
since that date uniformly asserted, and
the head of her judicial department
expressly affirmed, her title thereto,
Congress has, by more than one act,
recognized the transfer as settled act.
A resident of that county In q suit to
recover the amount by him paid under
protest for taxes upon his property
there situate is, therefore, estopped from
raising the question as to the validity
Of the retroceSSion.'
1T is, of course, conceivable that Fed
eral legislation might be enacted which
would result in the validity Of what was
done more than eighty years ago being
ment, for several reasons, nothing Of
that sort Is to be expected.
In the first place, those who IN.
cline to dispute the constitutionality OF
the act of retrocession do not seem &c
have any solid ground on which 70
stand. In the second place, there is
nothing more improbable than thai
Congress would, If asked to do so, at
tempt to disturb a status which mas sc
long existed.
Il do not believe that there is any
such sentiment on either side OF the
river in favor of changing the present
situation as to give the question at thu
time any practical aspect. Personally
am not in sympathy with the agitation
of a question which Is to be regarded
as hardly more than academic"
1t has been suggested by some person:
on both sides of the Potomac that ont
of the best ways for the Federal Gov
eminent and the State Of Virginia II
honor the memory Of George Washing
ton on the occasion Of the great cele'
bration to be held In 1882 of the 200tt
anniversary of his birth would be to re
store the District of Columbia as HI
| planned ia project which every on
admits to have been dear to his heart.
This Is the sentimental side Of tn
question. It's practical aspect is anothe
matter. According to every present in
dication IL the Federal Government
should take any steps to reopen the sub
ject In any definite manner, q prolonge'
debate would be precipitated on tn
advantages or disadvantages whicl
might accrue to the residents of Airing
ton, or to the residents Of the Distric
Of Columbia, by such q change.

WAGNER ASKS CENSUS
BE FREED OF POLITICS
New York Senator, in Radio Ad-
dress, Demands Appointment of
Enumerators on Merit System.

Elimination of patronage and politics
from the 1880 census was urged last
evening by Senator Wagner, Democrat,
New York, in a radio address over a
coast-to-coast network of the National
Broadcasting Co. system.
Pointing out that $40,o00,000 will be
spent in taking the census and 5000
persons employed, Senator Wagner said
that selection of employees In accord
ance with the commissions merit sys-
tenn would give every person an equal
opportunity to secure the job without
political favor"
IF this proposal is written into the
law" he asserted, at will eliminate at
one stroke patronage and politics from
the census" He said that people who
are opposed to the commission making
the census appointments believe that
to the victor belongs the spoils." They
look upon the 100000 jobs as great
and rich opportunity for the party In
power to declare a. dividend for the
benefit of those who helped and are
going to help its candidate to office, u
he said.
