These leaders favor no industrial

a blight on the Federal City, but de-

Two Aspects Presented.
'Washington's record of Industrial
growth during the past few years prI-
sentS both favorable and unfavorable
aspects" Dorsey W. Hyde, jr., secre-
tary of the chamber, declares in the
handbook.
1.-THE actual figures, as given by the
Census Bureau, refer to the five-year
period from 1923 to 1927. inclusive.
During that period manufacturing
plants decreased from 500 to 500 in
number; wage earners decreased from
1928 to 9,519; wages increased from
$14, ,722 to $15,668. 655; cost of ma
terials used increased from $32,870, 254

Building Units Shown.

A we'll designed building should ex-
press on its exterior the general scheme
of its plan. That is, the larger units
should be indicated in the design. In
this way each building has its own in

the particular reason for it's being.

ucts increased from $73,1O7,S54 TO
$50, 389 .537."
Senator Capper, in declaring his
personal and official interest in the
welfare of Washington, states:
"As well as beautiful city we all
want an efficient one. This means that
the city cannot perform all of the
functions expected of it if it is to re-
main merely the seat of government.
1t cannot be gainsaid that industrial
productivity is just as necessary IN
Washington as in other communities
which do not happen to be the Nations
Capital.
There often has been expressed the
fear that If industry is to be welcomed
into Washington the esthetic develop
ment of the city will be retarded. But
this by no means is so. There ALREADY
are in operation here many industries
which not only are no detriment to the
setting in which they find themselves.

NORWAY LOOMS
IN I'm ALONE
PROTEST
international Photo

With a formal protest before him
from the Canadian government on
the sinking by gunfire OF the Ca
madam rum runner, I'm Alone, Sec
retary of State Stimson was con-
fronted today with the probability
that Norway would soon add to his
troubles over the coast guards ac-
tivities.
Norway, according to advices from
Oslo, Is somewhat wrought up over
the shelling of the Norwegian
steamer Juan in Chesapeake Bay,
off the port of Baltimore last Sat
arday. The Norwegian minister
here is awaiting a report from his
vice consul at Baltimore.
The Canadian protest disputes the
Coast Guard contention that the
pursuit of the suspected rum-rum.
mer began within treaty waters,
within - one hours steaming dis
tance.
1t also points out that the Bril-
tish anti.rum smuggling treaty,
which permits search and seizure
within the one-hour steaming zone,
does not extend the right to sink
in making this clause effective.
The Canadian government will
seek a strict Interpretation OF the
treaty and a Qualification of its
terms along the lines of the British
and Canadian point of view, it was
indicated at the Canadian Legation
today.
Secretary Stimson has not dis
closed what this Governments In
terpretation OF the treaty is. The
Coast Guard. a branch Of the
Treasury Department, has inter
preted it for its own purposes to
permit sinking and even killing, In
carrying out the right to search
and seize a suspected smuggler.
With the release at New Orleans
Yesterday of the master of the
I'm Alone and members of the
crew. and the dismissal of all
charges against them, some doubt
was cast on the Coast Guard re-
ceiving the support of the State
Department. The charges were
dismissed on motion of the Federal
attorney at New Orleans, after con.
sultation with Attorney General
Mitchell.
President Hoover probably will
seek closer cooperation among the
three departments concerned in the
I'm Alone case--the Treasury JUS
tice and State.

Brokers. lawyers. doctors, busi'

firmly and quickly refused to pledge
that liquor would be banned from
their fraternity chapter house.
The Chicagoans declared that the

Hampstead washburne, jr.. pres

there is probably less drinking at
the University Of Virginia than at
other universities and praised the
action of the fraternity brothers in
refusing to be ''hypocrites about
drinking"
The undergraduates showed a
clear perception of honor in taking
the stand they did, he asserted.
'They know that drinking goes
on in every college. and that 1t
cannot be kept out of fraternity
houses" he said. They refused
to pass a law which would only be
violated"
Predictions that the stand taken
by the fraternity chapter at the
Southern university would provoke
a controversy affecting college fra.
ternity houses throughout the ma.

men here today.
Declaring that students at the

Federal Dry Agents
Will Leave ''Frat" Law
Violations to State

Federal prohibition authorities
have no intention of getting mixed
up in the prohibition rebellion" at
the University OF Virginia, they said
today.
Fraternity houses enjoy the same
privileges against invasion by dry
agents as do private homes. As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury
Lowman and Prohibition Commits
sioner Doran were both agreed on
this point today.
"a fraternity house is a mans
home at college and will be treated.
as such by the Federal authorities,
Doran said. THE fraternities know
the law and are expected to observe
it the same as any other organlza-
tion or individual. But the Federal
Government is not invading private
homes"
Left To State.
Violations of the law in a frater-
nity house, unless actual distilling
Or selling took place, would fall in
the category of minor offenses which
are left to the state authorities.
Social drinking and the possession
of small amounts of Intoxicating
Hquors do not constitute offenses
which the Federal Government wants
to place before United States courts,
according to officials, who added
that the Federal tribunals and dis
trict attorneys offices already are
swampedy by more than 2l,OOO cases.
''We receive excellent co-opera-
ton from the State authorities in
Virginia" Lowman said. For that
reason the fraternity business is
being left TO them. The Federal
agents are out looking for big stills
and occasionally handle an important
transportation case, but otherwise
dry enforcement is in the hands of
the State authorities in Virginia"
Didn't Ask Aid

STRAY DOGS

TAKOMA PARK. Nd, April 10.--
At an informal meeting of the
town council of Takoma Park, Nd,
held last night, the question Of
stray dogs was raised by members
of the council.
1t developed that many dogs are
running loose on the streets without
tags or muzzles and 1t is not
definitely known IL such dogs are
owned by residents OF the town or
are merely. strays.
Many complaints have been regis
tered with the various members of
the council, and ways and means
of disposing Of the question were
discussed.
The mayor said the question Of
dog ordinance raised more than
normal interest in the town, due to
dogs and wished to care for them
were opposed to any stringent
measures.
He also pointed out that the
town had no method of impound-
ing dogs or equipment for catching
them. He suggested, however, that
the towns police officer and the
superintendent of public work might
make periodical inspections, with a
view to disposing of such dogs as
had no tags. He did not see n
necessity for q dog ordinance at
this time.
The mayor also pointed out that
the town was standing the expense
of partitioning the@room in the fire
house allotted to the council and
desired to know If there was any
objection on the part of the mem.
bers present.
The matter. he stated. would be
formally presented to the council at
