Under the direction of Departmental

The department of the District of

sclous OF the responsibilities which rest
upon 1T as unit of the American
Legion, Is convinced of the value and
Necessity of enrolling in the American
Legion every veteran of the World War.
The District of Columbia gave in ex-
cess OF 10000 men and women to the
service during the war. The support
Of every one of these veterans is needed. !"
Organized May 49,. 1919, the District
OF Columbia department now has %

mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of
members of the American Legion. or of
any service man who died in line of
duty during or after the war and to
those women who of their own right are
eligible to membership in the Legion.
The Legion Is DESTROYS of increasing
its membership, Comdr Wood says, be-
cause OF the existing need of "zealously
guarding the interests of the men and
women whose service in the war has
burdened them with physical or mental
handicaps and also In the work of
ameliorating the distress of the widows
and orphans of the men who died in
military service"

SMOOT FOR HIGHER
TARIFF ON CROPS
Back From Miami, He 0p-
poses General Revision.
Doubts Gates Selection.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Returning yesterday from visit with
Herbert Hoover in Florida Senator
Smoot of Utah said he expected an ex-
ira session of the new Congress to be
called early in April and to be limited
to tariff revision and farm relief.
The Senator, chairman of the finance
committee which will handle the tariff
in the Senate, urged that the tariff re-
vision be confined to agricultural prod
uctS and scattering of other commod-
tiles which may need protection. He
announced firmly against general re-
vision.
The entire scale of agricultural prod
ucts could well stand increases IN tar
lift rates, the Utah senator believed. He
also thought that the finer grades OF
cotton and yarns deserved greater pro-
lection and he said the sugar duties
would be increased.
Little Dope on Cabinet.
The Senator, however, brought back
very little gossip about the all-abSorbing
topic worrying Washington-who viii
comprise the Hoover cabinet. He ex.
pressed doubt that one of his friends
Lewis S. Gates of Utah, would be
intimation of who would.
Gates had been mentioned as Secre-
tary of Interior Smoot indicated the
President-elect still has several names
under consideration for that post. He
however, did believe Mr.. Hoover had in
mind to take advantage in some way
of the engineering skill of the Utah
man. AS for the other cabinet jobs
the Senator said he was not at liberty
to talk, but he did not think that
definite decisions had been reached.
The extra session, in the opinion OF
Senator Smoot, can be concluded by
July.
Expects Entirely New Act.
No attempt will be made by the Sem
ate finance committee to dip into the
tariff question until the House has
passed bill. He believed the bill would
be in the form of an entire new tariff
act but he did not think that general
revision was in order.
Certainly he will oppose general re-
vision, Smoot said, but he recalled that
there is no way of limiting the Senate
to consideration of any specified items
in the tariff act and that all of them
may be subjected to revision when the
bill comes up on the floor. He said
he would oppose such changes.
While he Endorsed general upward
revision of the rates on agricultural
commodities, he warned that there
is no use talking of 81 bushel duty
on wheat and a TRIPPING of the rates
on eggs" He brought home no ideas
about the farm relief question, which
will be intrusted to the cares OF the
agriculture committee. If Mr.. Hoover
has a definite farm relief program he
did not know about it.

and physicians will be placed at the
chapters call.
The available number of ambulances
was said to be as follows: District of
Columbia Chapter of the Red Cross,
2; Naval Hospital, 2; Walter Reed Hos
pital, 5; Fort Myer. /: Washington Bar
racks /; navy yard, /; Board of Public
Health, 4. Two ambulances will be
made available at the Soldiers Home

ing undertaking establishments has
signed UP to furnish ambulances: w. w.
Chambers Co., s. H. Hines Co., Martin

UTILITIES VERDICT
ON CHANGES GIVEN
Citizens Amendments to
Law Bring Out Some
Board Substitutes.

The Public Utilities Commission has
written Chairman Capper of the Senate
District committee, outlining its views
on five amendments to the public utili-
ties act, recommended by the Citizens
Advisory Council With respect to two
of them, the commission wrote that
they would not affect the present law
greatly. The three others the commits
sion agreed to in principle, but sub
mitted its own amendments as subSti-
tutes to carry out what it believed was
the intent of the amendments in ques-
ton.
|, Already Covered by Law.
The amendments in which the COM
mission evinced little interest, as the
subject was already covered by existing
law, provide for retirement OF property
of public utilities which is unsafe, OBJ
solete, or not reasonably necessary for
the purposes of the utility, and would
authorize the commission to exclude
from the operating expenses of the util-
ity illegal, improper, excessive, or UNI
reasonable expenses.
Another proposed amendment would
have required the utilities to furnish the
commission with copies of all contracts
entered into with persons or corpora
tons owning 10 per cent or more of any
class of its securities. The commission
held that such copies can be called for
now and that the amendment would
probably have the effect of limiting 1t to
the investigation of contracts with own
ers of more than 10 per cent of the util-
| ity's stock It suggested that the 10
per cent phrase be stricken out, and
that If the amendment were retained 1t
should authorize investigation into all
contracts with any person or corporation
owning any of the utility's stock.
Valuation Cases.
| The last two amendments would en-
power the commission to charge the
cost Of any court proceeding, arising out
Of valuation case, against the utility
affected. The commission said that al
present the court cases are carried on
by the corporation counsel and the peo-
pies counsel without expense to the
commission, but that difficulty is en-
countered in employing expert wit.
nesSes and valuation engineers, by rea
son of the fact that their compensation
is limited by the classification act Ia
salaries too small to attract competent
men. ...
The commission suggested an amend
ment exempting such employees from the
scope Of the classification act.

 In his complaint, Durham alleges that Missett and John J. Burns fo- licited him on April 20, 1926, to in vest $2,033.3& to buy the inn and in return he was to get one-third inter est in the place. Burns took posses sion of the place, the complaint con tinucs and later asked Dunham to agree to take in Frank McDougal of New York city and Charles K. Man chester of Providence.
