POLICY BROADENED
AS TO ARBITRATION
Stimson to Put New Plan Into
Effect in I'm Alone Case;
Bill introduced.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A broader American policy toward
international arbitration has been de-
ctded upon by Secretary Stimson.
The new plan will be put into effect
in connection with the arbitration of
the sinking of the Canadian rum run
ner I'm Alone last Spring.
A bill was introduced in the Senate
yesterday by Chairman Norris of the
judiciary committee to allow the arbi-
tiers in the I'm Alone case to call wit
neSseS and take testimony, test the
credulity of witnesses and hold in con-
tempt those who opposed its rulings.
The I'm Alone case was referred to
arbitration after the American and
Canadian Governments in an exchange
OF notes had been unable to agree on
several points, including the position of
the vessel when the Coast Guard patrol
boat began putSuit onto the high seas.
The I'm Alone was sunk by another
Coast Guard vessel with a loss of life.
Previously international arbitration
has In general been confined to the
consideration Of briefs submitted by
the two sides. State Department off,
cttlS explained last night, however, that
the new policy will permit the taking
OF further testimony and the conduct
ing of hearings to obtain all possible
facts. In addition. commissions of
perjury would be dealt with II the
Norris bill is enacted.

terday that his family had noticed
nothing unusual until they returned
from their Summer vacation, when they
found the house sWarming with the
bugs that had punched holes in silk,
wooden and linen wearing apparel, car
pets and furniture coverings, and had
invaded an exceptionally we'll built
cedar closet. Unlike ordinary moths,
they were perfectly at home in the
cedar closet. He believes that they
came in with some articles brought
from England few years ago.
When he consulted experts he was
told that the only sure relief was to
vacate the house so that the very dan
gerous hydrocyanic acid gas could be
used. It required one night of exposure
to this gas to kill the beetles and their
eggs and another night to clear the
house of the fumes, so that 1t would be
safe to occupy.
DR.. Back has in his office exhibits
showing the omniverous appetiteS of the
beetles. They will ruin leather case
by eating holes through it. He has
animal bones partially consumed by
them, and in the same compartment
the hungry insects already have begun
to devour a stick of wood While they
spurn plebeian cotton, fine silk under
garments seem especially to their taste.
and they thrive on expensive Irish
linens.

Traffic Patrol Boy
Emissions Medal
For Rescuing Girl
Il-Year-OId John Petrone
to Make Speech at Pres.
entatiOn at School.

Little John Petrone, II, today is help
ing his father where he works in Ninth
street photographers shop, but his mind
is not on the handling of film, the light
ing of lights and the various other
duties assigned to him In Johns mind
a bright new medal becomes brighter
every minute, and he's thinking up the
speech he'll make when that medal is
given him some time soon before his
fifth-grade class at the Blake School,
The medal is the A. A. A. merit
award for valor. for which John has
been recommended by his friend, Po-
licenan John E. Scott, second precint
inspector of the schoolboy
patrols.
On December IL, 8 o'clock dismissal
of Blake School pupils had just taken
place, and John, lieutenant of the
Blake School patrol, was on his post
as usual at the corner of North Capt.
tol and K streets, few doors from
where he lives, at 80 K street north
east.
Little Louise Hall, first-grade pupil.
had just stepped from the curb and
was going across the street when an
automobile rounded the corner for a
right turn on green light. John
grabbed Louise as the bumper of the
car brushed against her. and he pulled
her back out of harms way as the
driver of the machine frantically put
on his brakes.
John sent Louise to her home at SO
I street and went about his traffic patrol
work, thinking no more about the in
cident. But Policeman Scott had seen,
and his recommendation went to the
American Automobile Association.
Captain of the patrol is my next
job" John says. I'm pretty good at
protecting the kids"

Street Railway Merger Sched-
uIed as First Considera-
ton of Committee.
INVESTMENT LAWS HERE
EXPECTED TO BE DRAWN
Inquiry Into Affairs of Police and
Other Departments Planned
After Recess.

The return of Congress from its
Christmas recess on January s will
mark the beginning of an era of &C.
tivity in the Senate District commit
tee, where a number of important queS-
lions are likely to be taken up for
consideration early in the new year.
One CT the first subjects to be con-
sidered will be the new plan of street
railway merger submitted recently by
the Public Utilities Commission. The
committee plans to hold a night public
hearing on the merger resolution as
soon as the Christmas recess is over
to get the public'S viewpoint on the
plan Of unif1cation as revamped by the
utilities commission. Meanwhile the
committee has taken steps to obtain
the opinion of DR.. Milo r. Maltbie, who
was expert consultant to the Senate
group when the old merger plan was
Capper will fix the date for the merger
hearing later.
1t Is also likely that soon after the
Christmas holidays the subcommittee
headed by Senator Blaine of Wis
conSin, which Is considering proposed
new laws to regulate the real estate
business, to govern the sale of securi-
ties and to define the method of fore
closing mortgages in the District, will

He has been making a study of the
proposed legislation for the subcom-
mittee.
The Sackett subcommittee, appointed
to inquire into affairs in the police
department, district attorneys office
and other branches Of the District gov
eminent. also is waiting until after
the Christmas recess to decide upon its
future course of procedure.
In the brief period between the OPEN
ing OF the regular session on December
and the adjournment for Christmas
yesterday, the Senate District commit
tee succeeded in having the Senate pass
and send to the House the free text
book bill for the junior and senior high
schools. The committee also in that
time reported favorably and placed on
the Senate calendar the Shipstead bill
to enable the Fine Arts Commission to
pass upon the exterior design of pri-
vate buildings to be erected facing the
more important Government buildings
and parks.

Bureau of Efficiency Finds
100000 Institution in
Virginia Advisable.
TEMPORARY GROUNDS
ARE NOT SATISFACTORY
Patients Must Have Freedom From
Distracting Noise, Too Frequent
Visits of Friends.

The District Commissioners yesterday
received from the Bureau of Efficiency a
report recommending that the proposed
tuberculosis sanitarium for children, to
be built by the District at cost of
$500, 900, will be located on Government
owned land at Mount Weather, Va.
The Government. according to the
report, owns IS acres of land in this
section, high in the mountains, for
merly used as weather observatory,
which has been abandoned since 1915
The land is now for sale. On the land
are 10 buildings, suitable for use in
the sanitarium, all in an excellent state
of repair. It is AZ miles in a direct line
west from Washington, and about two
and ythree-quarter hours from the city
by electric railroad and bus connec-
tions.
Local Site Unsatisfactory.
Gas a partial substitute until the
Sanitarium should be built the District
government has for several years past
permitted the Washington tuberculosis
Association to use part of the grounds
OF the tuberculosis Hospital for a Sum-
mer camp. Aside from the fact that
this camp provides care and custody of
the children away from harmful home
surroundings during only part of the
year, its thickly settled location makes
1t impossible to provide for the patients
the quiet, the freedom from an excess
OF visiting Of friends and relatives, and
the clean, cool air that proper treat
ment of tuberculosis demands.
I'm Summer Washington and its i'm
mediate surroundings are often hot and
disagreeably humid, and therefore ILL
suited TO all-year-round curative treat
ment Of disease which thrives on
bodily discomfort and lack of Sleep"
Preliminary Study Provided.
Congress has provided 81 500 for pre-
liminary studies for the sanitarium, and
the work of drawing up a preliminary
report has been intrusted by the Dis
trict Commissioners to a committee
consisting of Assistant Engineer Com
missioner Layson Z. Atkins, chairman
George S. Wilson,. director of public
welfare; DR.. Joseph Murphy, chief
medical and sanitary inspector OF
schools; DR.. Frank W. Ballou, superin-
tendent OF schools, and A. L. Harris
municipal architect. The report of the
efficiency bureau was turned over to
this committee.
The act of Congress authorizing the
building of the sanitarium called for
a report back to Congress by the Com
miSsioners at the present session. This
report has not yet been made.

MALL MODEL ERECTED
IN CAPITOL SHOWCASE
Reproduces Building Program for
Pennsylvania Avenue in
Minute Detail.

The model of the Pennsylvania ave-
.nue-Mall triangle, showing how the
Federal building program will look
when finished, has just been erected
In a large showcase in the rotunda of
the Capitol, where thousands of tour
lists from the four corners of the United
States may see it.
The model reproduces in minute de-
tail the layout Of buildings proposed
for the area from the Treasury to the
Capitol on the south side of Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Heretofore 1t has been
set up in the Treasury Building, but
a much larger number of visitors will
view it in the rotunda.
1t is probable that similar model
Of the new United States Supreme
Court Building and the model of the
Arlington Memorial Bridge also will be
placed in the rotunda soon, together
with, drawings of the proposed Union
Station plaza park
When these various exhibits have
been assembled, side by side, they will
give the visitor glimpse of how the
Capital City will look a few years
hence. when pending plans are carried
into effect

SH0PLIFTING DECLINE
SEEN HERE THIS YEAR
Several Arrests and Heavy Fines
Are Believed to Have De-
terring Effect.

There Is considerable less shoplifting
IN Washington stores this Christmas
than in other recent years, according
to Headquarters Detective Charles j.
p. Weber, chief of the special police
squad designated to protect merchants
and shoppers.
This may be due to the fact that
several notorious shoplifters are now
serving jail or prison terms. Weber de-
clared. Heavy sentences which Police
Court Judge Robert E. Mattingly i'm
posed last week also may have had a
lettering effect. it is pointed out.
Four colored women known to be
professional shoplifters are In custody,
the detective asserted, and fifth was
recently arrested but escaped and is
thought to have left the city.
A pickpocket at work among Christ
mas shoppers in downtown stores yes
terday afternoon stole a pocketbook
containing a $50 watch and SIS in cash
