Elwood Street, director of the chest

formation on the chests operation to
the scores of essayists who have en-
tered the contest, today said that the
keynote of the campaign, the point of
one drive for all the charities and a
surcease from charity appeals during
the remainder of the year, has been
struck by nearly all the essayists.
One Point Is Stressed.
This point" Mr.. Street said, lis the
one we are particularly anxious to get
across, because it will put those who
are giving to the drive in the proper
frame of mind to give, not as they
would to single appeal from single
charity, but as they would find they
have give if they could total up the
donations they made over a whole year
to the varied campaigns, the component
organizations of the chest last year. IT
is this more than anything else which
will determine the success or failure OF
the chest campaign for 1929"

CITY HEADS URGE
TWO NEW BRIDGES.
Replacement of Calvert
Street and KIingIe Ford
Spans to Be Sought.

The District Commissioners are con-
sidering sending to Congress a bill
authorizing replacement of the Calvert
street and Klingle Ford bridges on Con-
necticut avenue, at a joint cost of
$4,000, 900. OF this 81 100000 would be
spent on Calvert Street Bridge, which
the Commissioners will seek to have
replaced with a monumental structure
harmonizing with the present Million
Dollar" Connecticut Avenue Bridge.
The remaining 100000 would be spent
on the Klingle Ford Bridge, over Kiln
gle road.
The draft of the legislation has been
prepared by the Engineer Department
of the District government. and Is on
the desk of Engineer Commissioner
William B. Ladue. Col. Ladue Is eX-
r,ected to submit it to the Board OF
Commissioners at its Friday meeting.
Underground Conduits May Be Urged.
The draft is understood to contain
provision calling on the Capital Trac-
ton Co. to place underground conouls
construction on the two bridges, anu
the Commissioners may decide 10 oroeL
this form of construction as lar as
Cleveland Park, or at least as lar as
the and of Klingle Ford bridge. The
,,nderornund trolley construction on the
bridges would be in line with the ACTON
taken with respect to the Key Bridge,
where this type of construction was IN
sisted on because it was felt trolley
noIes would mar the harmonious lines
Of the bridge. In 1922. when citizens
of Cleveland Park made oetermineo
drive to secure underground conoulCs
throughout Connecticut avenue, tnere
was a tacit understanding reacneo az
the District Building that the natter
should lie over until 1t came time to
reconstruct the bridges named.
The money sought for the bridges
would be taken out of the surplus to
the credit of the District in the Federal
Treasury. If the authorizing legislation
is nassed. S750,000 will be sought in
the next available appropriation act Tor

of Twenty-eighth street is now under
way. an appropriation of S250,000 being
available during the current fiscal year

ture and replacing it with the new
bridge, the balance being used for rum

mates that the work of removing the
OLD bridge will take about a month and
that the new structure will be ready for
traffic in about year.

winding up by going all the way TO
Penn Grove N. j., under threats, Kelly
attempted to force him to admit that
he had driven to New Jersey OF ms
own accord and threats made by the
trio to say he had violated the Wnlte
slavery law in transporting the girls
prevented him from turning back,
Schwenk denied that he had any
reason to become alarmed at Such
threats. He said that Helen Woman
had stopped him and asked for lnt
to Hyattsville for all three. TINS
Schwenk consented to, as the night
was cold and as a favor to them. ne

"The challenge of the new theory
DR.. Clark continued, SIS to produce the
missing links"
DR.. Clark realizes fully, he said, that
the sensational feature of the theory
from the popular viewpoint, Is in Its
implications on the descent OF man.
Anthropologists maintain that man
descended from an ape-like ancestor
and is close relative, though not a
direct descendant. of the present-day
anthropoid apes. In support Of this a
great deal of skeletal evidence has been
recovered from caves and river banks
These skeletons, showing ape-like crea-
lures with brains approaching the hui
man brain. have been accepted as
missing links"
They will be found, DR.. Clark insists
not to be missing links at all, but apes
whose reconstruction has been misin-
terpreted. There is no evidence, he In
sists, Of missing link ever having ex-
listed between any of the major groups
as far apart as man and the apes.

TALKFEST HALT|NG
NAVY BILL ACTION
FiIibuster Charges Are Made
Against Foes of Cruise,
Measure.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
With six weeks to 60, the Senate was
involved in talkfest against the cruz
ser construction bill today which for
the time, being. at least. threatens a
tie-up of its entire legislative program,
Charges of filibuster against the
naval bill were renewed by irate friends
OF the legislation as its foes prepared
10 talk at length on the pending
deficiency appropriation measure.
Senate leaders already have mapped
out program aimed to force the crui-
ser bill to q vote, but the tantalizing
tactics OF the opposition in talking at
length on other legislation is forestalling
even this.
Senator Blaine Of Wisconsin. one of
the group Of Republican Independents
fighting the naval bill, talked for more
than three hours yesterday on the pro-
posed increased in funds for prohibi-
ton enforcement. At the conclusion
he refused the appeal Of Senator Curtis
OF Kansas, the Republican leader, for
an agreement to vote today on this
amendment to the deficiency bill.
Hope to Press Action.
When they get the deficiency bill
passed, Senate leaders intend to return
measure-and to keep it before the
Senate until vote Is taken. If neces-
sary, they are prepared to seek the
cloture rule limiting debate, but this
requires two-thirds vote.
This program involves the side-track-
ing Of the appropriation bills which are
necessary to provide money for next
years Government expenditures. Usually
everything is sacrificed for passage Of
these in order to forestall the necessity
of an extra session. But Herbert
Hoover's desire for the extra session
has removed some Of the normal pres
sure against this proposal.
The f1libuster, which is denied By
the foes of the naval bill, is one of the
most novel In Senate history. So far,
not a speech in opposition to the pro-
posal for is cruisers and an airplane
carrier has been made. All of the talk
ing by the foes has been done on other
legislation coming before the Senate.
Money Bills Get Way.
In accordance with the usual prac-
tice In the Senate, Chairman Hale Of the
naval committee. in charge Of the
cruiser bill, has given way as appropria.
ton bills came along. But for more
than four days now the Senate has been
trying to act on the deficiency appro-
priation bill without success.
Only three Of the regular supply bills
sent over by the House have been passed
by the Senate, and only two Of these
have gone through the conference
stages and have been sent to the whiba
| House.
Senator Hale believes that when hin
bill is given the tryout promised by the
Senate leaders he will get it passed.
The leaders are ready to give every OPP
than jeopardize the entire legislative
calendar, including the vital appropria-
ton bills, it is believed they will side
track 1t If a final vote is not obtained
within reasonable time.
