WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The
Methodist board of temperance,
prohibition and public morals today
arrayed itself in opposition to the
proposed appropriation Of $4,000
900 additional for prohibition en-
forcement, and to the Anti-Saloon
League. which has fought hard for
the extra funds.
The Harris amendment carrying
the money Is still deadlocked in
conference between the house and
senate.
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, direc-
tor of the board, asserted that con-
gress stands ready to appropriate

Both house and senate are on

preparation. It is also clearly estab-

stage OF their long journey back to their
homeland
Wrapped in the Stars and Stripes,
the bodies lay in a special train, placed
at the disposal of the American Graves
Commission by the Soviet government.
AS this train steamed slowly southwark
from Murmansk, in the far north of the
White Sea, peasants stood in reverential
attitude and made the sign of the cross
along the war-built railroad leading to
this city. The journey took little more
than a day.
When the train reached the Arctic
Circle, group of red army soldiers sa-
luted the fallen doughboys from across
the seas, who at one time in the cam
paign had been classed as their enemies.
These soldier dead belonged to the
polar Bear" division, which served on
the Archangel front through the bitter
Winter of 191S-19. A commission of
American Veterans of Foreign Wars
came from Michigan to search out the
bodies ard arrange for their transport
homeward.
Identifcations were not always posi-
Bile, because some crosses were missing
from the graves, but most of the SOL
diers were known TO have come from
Detroit and the vicinity.

FIRE DRIVES SIX
FAMILIES OUT

six families were made homeless
and four persons were carried to
safety. clad only in their night
clothes, at a fire in the tourist camp
in East Potomac last night.
. The flames destroyed two of the
small bungalows and damaged four
others. The fire started in building
No. 20 and rapidly spread to ad-
jacent buildings. According to park
attaches the fire was caused by an
oil stove that caught fire in the
building which was occupied by two
men who were away at the time.
Major William Critchey, banker,
of 80 Park Ave-, Brooklyn, N. Y,
carried his wife and two daughters
to safety. All were clad in their
sleeping costumes.
William Sloan, of River Forest,
near Chicago, ILL.,, was carried to
safety by two unidentified reseuers
as the flames licked the side of
his cottage. He was confined to
his bed at the time.
1HOuSdHuS OF dulOLlODlIlSLS were
attracted by the glare of the fire and
the fire department was compelled
to force their way through the thick
ening crowd of traffic.
Major Critchey received a cut on
his hand when he was compelled to
break the glass of his auto to get
into it and drive it to safety. His
keys, it was learned, were in his
clothing in the flame-eaten bungalow.
The major was able to secure blan-
kets for his family and they were
taken to another cottage to spend the
remainder of the night.
Sloan was taken to another cottage
also and his companion. Shirley A.
Campbell, of Chicago, was able to
save their personal effects.
The fire was 'iscoyered by Francis
W.. Hicks, OF Pinehurst, N. c., who
called camp attaches and they in
turn called the District Fire Depart
ment.
Many of the tourists who occupied
buildings near the fire rose and
dressed and took their belongings to
other parts of the camp. The dam
age was estimated at $1,000 approx
imately.

WOMAN LEARNS
TRAFFIC LAW

Mrs. Elizabeth F. Harrison. So,
of the 1900 block Fern St. n. w,
learned about the law from Police
man Raymond v. Sinclair, who
brought her into Traffic Court to-
day.
Sinclair charged her with driv-
ing without permit. Mrs. Harri-
son told Judge John P. Mcmahon
that she was ignorant of the ex.
istence Of such things as drivers
permits and thought license plates
and registration cards We're suf.
ficient.
Judge Mcmahon gave her until
next Friday to secure a permit, mad
continued the case.
Harry e. Shiplett, of Takoma
Park, Nd, who was also arrested
by Sinclair, received double fine
for speeding, today because he for
feited collateral and did not ap-
pear in court following his first
rrest on December 80.
Following that arrest an attach
ment was issued. but Shiplett was
not found until Sinclair halted him
Saturday night for speeding on
Georgia Avenue.
Judge Mcmahon fined him SO

JAN. 1 SEES
NEW LAW
At WORK

Final details for operating
under the new law which win
require that before the super
intendent may issue license
tags for automobiles, the per-
sonal tax Of the applicant
must have been paid, have
been worked out by William
P. Richards, tax assessor for
the District, and, it is under
stood, will be submitted to
the District Commissioners
sometime today.
The new law, it is believed. will
tend to speed up collection of per
sonal taxes. In the past many per-
sons have delayed making their re-
turns until the last minute, and in
number of cases these delinquents
were the drivers of automobiles.
While the new system will no
doubt mean an increase in work IN
the office of the collector of taxes,
District officials are of the opinion
tL.at it will mean considerably less
work, due to the fact that personal
taxes will be paid on time.
The new law becomes effective
on January / next. Details Of Mr..
Richards plan will not be made
public until after they have been
studied by the Commissioners.

FOlJRD c.
BILLS

Four important District
bills will be introduced at this
session Of Congress by Repre-
sentative Clarence j. Mcleod,
chairman of the judiciary sub
committee Of the House Dis
trict Committee, he announced
today.
Three Of the bills were before
Congress, but failed Of action. The
fourth is a new bill, which would
require District motorists to show
financial responsibility before get
ting a drivers permit renewed, fol-
lowing an accident Tor which the
motorist was blamable.
This is a substitute for the pro-
posed compulsory liability law,
which would make 1t necessary for
all local car owners to carry habil-
ity Insurance.
The other bills are a proposed
automobile titling law for the Dis
trict, abolition of capital punish
ment in the Capital, and election OF
a delegate to Congress by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The last named bill was intro
duced late during the last session
and could not be acted upon in time
for passage. Mcleod does not ex-
meet action on any of these bills
during the current session unless
tie restrictions on general legisla'
ton are lifted by House leaders.
Senator Arthur Capper. chairman
of the senate District Committee,
stated that the collective mind or
Congress will decide whether Dis
trict affairs are to be ignored or
considered during the session which
opens today.
Bills Are On Way
''I have made no plans Tor tne
special session. in so far as District
legislation is concerned" Senator
Camper said. 'It would be a waste
of time to do anything in this direc-
ton, until the temper OF the Con-
gress is determined"
IT was indicated, however, that
bills affecting the District will be
introduced by Senators and Repre-
sentatives during the current ses-
sion, in order to have them on the
calendar, ready for consideration
by committees whenever Congress
gives the word.
Representative Frederick ". zihl.
man of the House District COM
mittee, has a number of bills which
he plans to introduce, but he does
not expect to organize his COM
mittee until the fall, unless House
leaders show an inclination to con-
slider local matters at this session.

40 MILLION
SHORT Of
LISTED
NEED

Failure to make provision
for a number of important
projects, which in the opinion
of civic leaders must GER
tainIy come up in the next
few years, in the five year
financial program released
yesterday by the District Com
missioners, is causing consider
able question as to the feasi-
bility of the plan.
! The financial program to ad-
minister District affairs over a
five year period under the present
rate of tax of $1.70 per 500
provides for expenditure of $780,
616,000.
Divided over the period, the pro-
gram provides for expenditure the
first year 1880 of, $44.965,0 900; $4S,-
$4,000, for 1881; $44,662, 900 for
1882; $45, $3.50, 900, for 1888 and $46.-
607, 900 in 1884.
In his report to the Commits
sioners, Daniel J. Donovan, District
auditor, calls attention to the fact
that the proposed budget should of
course be subject to change from
year to year, but that the plan
as submitted could well be used as
a basis for determining not only
expenditures for five years but for
later years, revision being made
as necessary .
The program also calls for the
same amount Of money to be con-
tributed by Congress each year,
namely $4,000, 900.
Among the items mentioned, but
not included in the five-year plan
of the auditor are increased pay
for rliceaad fireEnel amounting
to $4,000. The report on this
item does, however, indicate that.
should Congress pass the bin grant
ing the increase, there win be
funds with which to pay.
Where the funds will come from,
the report does not make clear, un-
less from a deficiency appropriation
at the end of the year the raises are
authorized.
Projects In View
The projects not ineluded, but
which the people OF the District
have been seeking Tor years, are
tabulated as follows:

While, Of course. an figures in
the plan are approximate the DIFF
ferences between the figures con-
tanned in the report for actual work
to be done in five years are as
shown above.
The question of an airport for
washington is at present before
Congress and it is believed more
than likely authorization for the
purchase OF a site will be made at
the short session. In such an event
Major d. A, Dawson, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, proposes
to proceed to work on the airport
at once. He estimates that the
work of getting the airport ready
for actual use will take three years.
