CAPPER WILL PUSH
VITAL D. C. BILLS
Senator Asks Commissioners to
Specify Those Most Desired
at Short Session.

The District Commissioners were asked
today by Chairman Capper of the Sen
ate District Committee TO express their
views regarding the program that should
be laid out on local legislation for the
coming session, bearing in mind that
the session will be short one, ending
March 3.
Several bills are pending before the
Senate District Committee" Senator
Capper stated, writing to Commissioner
Reichelderfer president of the board
Possibly you may have in mind other
measures on which you desire congress
sional action during the coming session.
It might be well to bear in mind that
this Congress will adjourn on March 8
next. All legislation then pending will
expire. I know that I can speak for
the committee in stating that prompt
and careful consideration will be given
to any and all recommendations the
Commissioners may make, but the ac-
tivitieS of Congress necessarily will be
affected by the restricted time of the
session.
II hope that you will indicate to me
as soon as possible the pending bills
which you would like to have the COM
mittee approve. I wish you would also
send me drafts of any bills the Com
misSionerS desire me to introduce in
the Senate. for early action"

new HOUSE MEMBERS
GET OFFICE SPACE
Large Rooms Of Committee on Ter
ritories Help Temporary Solu-
ton of Problem.

The architect of the Capitol, the
House ONCE Building Commission and
the superintendent Of the House Office
Building have been Gin a huddle" to
find a way to prevent four Of the
neWly-elected members of Congress from
being left out in the cold as far as Office
facilities are concerned. The solution
was found today when Representative
Bacharach of New Jersey directed that
temporarily two of these new members
should be given corners in each of the
two large committee rooms Of the Com
mittee on Territories.
When Is or IA vacancies were filled
in the recent election the 1use Office
Building became taxed beyond its pres
ent room capacity-thus emphasizing
the need for the new House Office
Building. the foundations of which are
now being laid. Four members-elect
were left without offices-Erk of Penn
Sylvania, Reilly of Wisconsin, Hogg of
West Virginia, and Dorsey of Kentucky
There are three vacancies existing for
chairmen of committees. and as soon
as these are filled, probably by promo
ton under The seniority rule, as the new
chairmen move out. the new members
of the House can move in to their va
Gated Offices. For example, Representa-
tive Temple of Pennsylvania will prob
ably succeed the late Representative
Porter of Pennsylvania as chairman of
the Foreign Affairs Committee. In the
meantime, Representative-elect Edmund
F. Erik, who was clerk to that commit
tee and secretary to Mr.. Porter, is for
the time being occupying the same desk
he has sat at for years in the Foreign
Affairs Committee room.

NAME FOR CENTER
New Playground to Honor
Surveyor Who Helped Lay
Out Capital City.

The proposed colored recreation CEN
ter bounded by Georgia avenue, Euclid
street, Barry place and Ninth street,
hitherto popularity known as the Howard
Recreation Center, opposite Howard
University, will henceforth be officially
termed the Banneker Recreation Cen
ter, in honor of a prominent colored
surveyor who assisted in laying out the
city of Washington.
The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission made this announce
ment today through its engineer, Capt
E. N. Chisolm, jr., after it had studied
the question closely. The name of Ban
neker was submitted with a number of
others to the commission by the Ma
tional Memorial Commission for the
Colored Race, at the request of Capt
Chisolm. The commission chose this
name from among the group submitted
because Benjamin Banneker was close
ly associated with the early develop
ment of the National Capital.
Benjamin Banneker was noted coll
ored mathematician, astronomer, sur
veyor and reformer. He was born No
vember 8, 1871, in Maryland, lived at
Ellicott Mills, Baltimore County, in
that State. He Is described as being the
first American to make clock and was
a pioneer publisher of one of the first
series of almanacS in this country. He
was employed by the commission
charged with surveying the layout of
the District of Columbia. He died
about 1904.
The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission is making a study of
a number of other names for play
ground areas and recreation csnterS and
expects to adopt officially list Of the
names they will be known by at its
December meeting.

DRY LAW POINT RAISED
IN APPEAL OF DRIVER
Special Dispatch to The Star.

WINCHESTER, Va, November "a
The right of a county magistrate to try
and sentence a defendant under the
prohibition act charged with operating
a motor vehicle while intoxicated has
been raised and the question will be
argued and submitted to a higher court
for a ruling.
William Elliott, Hayfeld, Va, was
convicted and sentenced to six months
labor on State roads and fined 500 and
costs for operating truck while drunk
and running INTO two automobiles and
injuring the occupants. His attorney
cited State statute, which provided
that county magistrate may issue
such warrants and hold a preliminary
hearing, but must either dismiss the
case or hold the defendant for the
grand jury.
An opposing contention was that the
magistrate could issue the warrant
under authority Of the State automo-
bile law and disregard the prohibition
act section altosether.
