Thinks 1882 Bicentennial
Should Be Postponed

0uOuAu DC 6OstPOHSu
Editor, Times:
Washington is taking so little
interest in the bicentennial cele.
bration Of Washinston's birthday
In 1882 that ! wonder whether
II would not be q good plan to
postpone, the event for q year or
two. There are good reasons for
believing that the Capital will be
in q diShevelled condition two
years in the future--1lone Of its
great building projects will be
completed snd the city will look
just as q house does when some
new tenant Is in process Of NOV
ing in.
The city certainly will have
something to celebrate when the
triangle is brought to compile
ton. That may be four or six
years hence, but 1t will be an
event to which the city can in
vite the nation with real pride.
The only protect which is
slated to be ready In time for
the bicentennial celebration is
the Mt. Vernon memorial boule-
ward. All Of the others probably
will continue for ct least four,
and in some cases possibly 10
years.

Citizen Argues Against
New Scent Taxieabs

Editor. Times:
You can't argue with the public,
and now I ask you, is 1t fair for
some more or less prosperous cab
company to pull this 5 cents a
one third mile stuff on our
friendly citizens when it's really
all q splendid bluff?
Let me appeal to the readers
of this paper: Do you know, who
ever you may be, that in paying
meter rates OF 5 cents for each
and every third mile you travel
that the old meter will run you
more in the long run than the
straight city proper rate? It's all
so much applesauce, this new
meter stuff. You can't argue
with one Of those meters. They
stare you in the face after you
trek across the city to the tune
Of so cents or more. Remember,
you can always argue with q "city
proper" man.
In behalf Of the man that runs
the tip if you want to" cab. let
me say that he's got the right
idea, but that it would hardly
work in Scotland. Now there's
man that's got heart of gold
and swell intuition; but let me
say that this fellow must have an
eye for big-hearted faces because
If he hasn't he'll be eating his
bread out of lineup which isn's
for any ball game.
We read in your paper that
there is somewhere near 5000 un-
employed in this city. Let me ask
you, what would happen if all
the unemployed decided to take
joyrides in this free cab-tip

Maybe it's best to let things
be as they are. I do hate to
see this Nations Capital get the
wool pulled over its eyes. though.

ton of the $50, 000,0 900 reflnancing plan
advocated by William Fox and the
Bancamerica Blair Corporation banking
group was announced today after the

meeting had been counted.
The bankers plan to raise the funo

ration and Fox Theaters Corporation
and avert a receivership was voted upon
by stockholders in prolonged and merry
sessions Yesterday. Mr.. Fox claimed the
bankers plan, which he favored, had
been approved by 1871 vote.
In view of the vote, Samuel Inter
myer, counsel for Mr.. Fox, regarded II
as "inconceivable" that the opposition
would continue the fight.
This prospect was diSsipated short
time after the meeting when John OF
terson, president of the Electrical Re-

Stuart, president of the Halsey-Stuart
Co., announced they would continue the
battle with all the means within their

GRUNDY DEFENDS
SENATE OFFICE USE
Pennsylvania Denies Lobby
lists Occupied Quarters in
Rooms Allotted to Him.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Subjected to croSS-examination In
the Senate today, Senator Grundy, Re-
publican of Pennsylvania, insisted that
no one directly or indirectly" con-
nected with the American Tariff League
occupied his Offices in the Senate Office
Building.
Senator Grundy declared that the
persons in his extra Office in the Senate
ONCE Building were employed by him
to assist him in tariff revision after
Senator Harrison, Democrat, of MiSsiS-
Sippi, had demanded an explanation of
newspaper story stating that officers
of the American Tariff League were
using the Grundy Offices.
After Grundy'S explanation Senator
Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, chair
man Of the Senate lobby committee,
sharply examined him.
Caraway asked him about Warren F.
Doane, editor of the Manufacturer
published by the Manufacturers Club
Of Philadelphia; John Lerch, New York
attorney, and Arthur L. Faubel, Secre-
tary of the American Tariff League.
Caraway asked if the men mentioned
spent their time Gin your Office"
"Oh, my, no." Grundy answered. He
added that Doane called at his office
but in answer to another
question he denied that he practically
spent his time there"
Grundy also said that Lerch and
Faubel called at his Office frequently.
Moses Defends Grundy.
Previously Senator Moses. chairman
of the rules committee, said that an
investigation had satisfied him that
Grundy's Offices were being used only
by his personal employees
In calling attention to the story that
officers of the tariff league were using
the Pennsylvania Senator's offices, Sem
ator Harrison had threatened to intro
duee resolution to have them "vacate."
Faubel Is Called.
Faubel was summoned today by the
Senate lobby committee for questioning
in regard to reports that he had es-
tablished headquarters in room as
signed to Grundy.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana,
directed that Faubel be summoned.
Faubel has been questioned by the
lobby committee concerning the activi-
ties of the Tariff League.
Before his appointment as Senator
to succeed William s. Ware, Grundy,
then vice president of the American
Tariff League, was questioned at
length before the lobby committee. He
had been characterized on the floor Of
the Senate as "the biggest lobbyist in
Washington.
Grundy startled the lobby committee
by saying that he believed that some
of the States had more representation
in the Senate than they deserved and
also gave out his famous list of back
ward States" among which he included
Arkansas, the home State of Chairman
Caraway Of the lobby committee.

frankly that he worked for protective

By Gable to The Star,
LONDON, March 6.-Mrs. Pearl De
Maret, 2100 street, Washington, Secre-
tary StimSon's confidential stenographer,
was killed shortly before / o'clock this
morning as the result of falling from
the window of her bed room on the
sixth floor of the Hotel Mayfair. She
died within q few hours of sailing on
the steamship President Harding aboard
which she was to have returned to the
United States today
AS the result of a preliminary coro-
nerS investigation in conjunction with
Scotland Yard Mrs. De Maret's death
was pronounced due to an accident
caused by leaning too far OUT of her
window and slipping while doing so.
formal inquest will be held tomorrow
forenoon.
In the meantime the body will remain
at st. Georges Hospital, to which 1t was
taken while Mrs. De Maret was still
alive but unconscious. She breathed
her last about 3 o'clock this morning.
Food and Climate Unsuited.
About week ago the young American
woman, aged 80, notified Secretary
Stimson of her desire to go home. She
intimated neither English food nor
climate agreed with her, besides which
she was lonesome in consequence of
her first separation from her husband,
Seth De Maret. employee of the account
ing division of the Post Office Depart
ment, and their 6-year-old child.
Secretary Stimson was reluctant to
lose Mrs. De Maret's expert services, but
gave her the necessary credentials for
her return, including a letter saying she
was ordered back at her own request.
She seemed relieved at the prospect
OF soon being on American soil, although
friends noticed continued traces of
dependency in her demeanor.
Mrs. De Maret roomed in London
with Miss Hurley Fisk of the news divi-
sion of the State Department. They
were both In their room last evening
and bathed before retiring. Mrs. De

WhaIen's Ban.

by the Associated freSS.
NEW YORK, March 6.-Disobey-
ing Police Commissioner whalen's or
ders against parade, Communists en-
gaging in an unemployed demonstration
at Union Square today started forming
their ranks for parade shortly after
2 pm. Commissioner Whalen sent in
a riot call.
Police charged the forming parade,
swinging night sticks and blackjacks
The crowd, estimated at 10000, imme-
diately was in an uproar and started
running in all directions from the
square.
Several minor riots broke out In adj
joining streets and quickly brought po-
lice on the run.
Reserves from nearby stations, which
had been held there since midnight for
Just such an eventuality, began to pour
into the square from all directions.
The Communists started forming their
parade at the call of william z. Foster,
who a moment before had led delega-
ton to Commissioner Whalen in an I'M
successful effort to obtain permission to
parade.
Mounted police quickly cleared the
square and started to herd the crowd
into adjoining streets.
They were swinging clubs and black
jacks and several people were seen to
be knocked down. A call was sent In
for ambulanceS, which had been mobil-
lied at nearby hospitals.
After the first few minutes of rioting
it appeared the police had the crowd
under control.
Refused Whalen's Offer.
In denying the Communists demands
that they be allowed to parade to City
Hall, Commissioner Whalen said:
THE police today have shown you
every courtesy. This is city of law
and order and I'm telling you that II
you attempt to proceed to City Hall
in any great numbers we will not only
break up the parade, but will arrest
every one of the leaders"
Previously he had offered to take the
delegation to City Hall in his private
automobile and present them to the
mayor as representing a meeting OF
$4,000 people protesting against I'M
employment. This offer they refused.
Human Barricade Formed.
At the first outbreak of rioting a
crowd of shouting Communists was seen
to charge toward the shack in which
Commissioner Whalen had set up his
headquarters, but it appeared that none
of them won through to the commits
sioner himself. Mounted and foot
police formed a human barricade
around Mr.. Whalen.
