PARENTS FIGHT.
SHIFT PLAN

At turbulent meeting. held
in the John Burroughs School,
30 patrons of that school last
night declared their intention to
continue sending their children to
Burroughs despite the order of
the Board of Education transfer
ring them to Langdon.
Only five parents announced
their intention of abiding by the
transfer order. The only official
action of the meeting was the
adoption of a resolution declar-
ing that the Burroughs Citizens
Association, which sponsored the
meeting, had received no official
notification of the reasons of
the Board of Education for max
ing the change, and requesting
suspension of the ruling until a
hearing could be given.
Action Comes Too Late
This action was a futile one,
in view Of the stand the board
took at its meeting of Wednes-
day, in which it announced that
the order had been confirmed
six months ago and declined to
reopen the matter. Members of
the organization courteously in
formed Selden N. Ely, super,
intendent of the Fifth Division
of schools. that his speech in
defense of the school officials
was "unconVincing."
The parents expressed the be-
lief that the Board of Education
maze mistake in making Lang,
don 16-room school rather than
an eight-room school, and that
the transfers were being made
to cover up the mistake"
Numerous charges of petty poll
tics on the part of the Rhode
Island Avenue Citizens A5Socia-
ton and of tyranny and mistakes
on the part of the school board
were made.

Ne1U Insurance Bill
Called Experiment

The Gibson insurance bill for
the District of Columbia is just
another attempt to try it on the
dog" Edward S. BrashierS, local
agent for the Union Central Life
Insurance Company, o. Cincin-
natl. representing the Insurance
Club of Washington, declared
today to the insurance subcom-
mittee of the District Committee.
In opposing the bill. 7reshears
objected to trying on the District
law which he said was pat
termed after the insurance code
of New York, on the ground that
business conditions w!re widely
different.
Brashears cited the section in
the bill providing that the Dis
trict superintendent of insurance
visit other States to promote a
similar insurance code and de-
clared capital stock requirements
should be widely different in
thinly populated States in the
! industrial States.

COMMISSIONERS
STUDY DRY BILL

The District Commissioners and
the Corporation Counsel today
are studying the Howell bill, to
provide a drastic code TO prohibi
ton enforcement for the District
Of Columbia. with a view to MAX
ing recommendations for amend,
ments or notifications.
The bill was forwarded to the
District Building yesterday by the
Senate District Committee. Sew
eral Of its provision already have
been informally advised against
by w. w. Bride, corporation
counsel, as they have by Attorney
General Mitchell.
The provision against which
the StiffeSt fight is expected is
that permitting policemen to raid
private homes into or from which
they believe liquor has been de
livered or taken away, by the
simple eXpedient of obtaining an
automatic search warrant.
Senator Cole Blease, of South
Carolina, announced he will sup
port the bill, which will give the
"drys" a majority of one on the
District Committee when it comes
time to report the bill.
BleaSe said that no matter
what his views and actions with
regard to liquor are. his con-
stituentS are in favor of prohibi-
ton and that he will vote as they
want him to vote.

termed on the code of New York
would cause absorption of small
insurance companies here by the
large companies, he said.
BrashearS objected to the fea-
ture TO the bill which authori Ped
the superintendent of insurance,
under an order from the Supreme
Court of the District, to liquidate,
under a bond of only $4,000, as
sets of insurance companies which
might run into the millions. He
suggested that additional receiv,
ers be allowed under the bill and
that the court be authorized to
fix larger bond at its own dis
creti0O-

SILENT On PLAN
|. FOR CARRYING
ON INQUIRY

Future of the senatorial investi-
CATION into charges of graft and
corruption in the District govern
ment today was placed in the
hands of Senator John M. Rob-
sion of Kentucky.
Senator Arthur Capper of Kan
sas, chairman of the District
Committee, appointed Robsion
chairman of the subcommittee
which has been conducting the
investigation under the Blease
resolution.
Silent on Plans
Robsion takes precedence over
Senators Jones and Vandenberg,
who we're members when the
committee was headed by former
Senator Sackett of Kentucky.
The investigation has been
proceeding for several months in
a more or less desultory fashion.
Senator Robsion has not revealed
his plans for carrying on the
/ probe.
/ RobSlon also becomes a men,
ber of the subcommittee on ju-
dietary which probably will han
die the Howell prohibition bill.
Other subcomnNttees for Robsion
include education and labor and
public health, hospitals and

NEED Of HIGHER
WAGE VOICED
At HEARING

} Unanimous sentiment for a
Favorable report of the police and
tiremen's pay bill was apparent
today soon after the Lampert
subcommittee of the House Dis
Crlct committee opened hearing
en- the Zihlman measure.
With Commissioner Proctor L.
Pougherty and officials of the
Police and Fire departments and
various civic organizations in
attendance, the hearings ha6 pro-
ceeded but few moments when
representative Reid, of Illinois,
suggested the subcommittee go
ahead and vote to report the bill.
However, Chairman Lampert
SAID a record should be made,
and the hearing proceeded.
CHARLES w. Darr, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, then
spoke for an hour in support Of
. the mesaure.
Backed BY DOugherty
The first witness, Commissioner
Dougherty, indorsed the bill, say
tlng that IF this increase is al
lowed, we will get better men in
the police and fire departments
and maintain better standards
than even nj the past. The men
we most want to keep are inclined
to leave under the present salary
SCALE"
At this point Repre- sentative
. Palmer of Missouri, came to the
support of the bill but with an
observation, that even some of
the proposed new salaries were
mot high enough.
AFTER investigation" said Rep
resentative Palmer, "I think Wash
1ngton has fine police and fire de-
partments, comparing favorably
with those anywhere. All this re-
cent agitation about the Police
Department has been very un-
jNSt."
Commissioner Dougherty said
the Commissioners would recon-
mend slight modification of
some of the salaries proposed, "to
equalize them with those of the
heads of departments and to put
them in proper relationship to the
salaries paid civilian heads"
Few Slight Reductions
''Would these notifications be
increases or reductions in the
lower grades?" asked Representa-
tive Reid.
"Just a few slight reductions" +"
replied Commissioner Dougherty.
"I would rather see raises" said
Reid, and the matter was dropped
there. with the subcommittee evi-
, IDENTIFY favorable to a report on
the bill as written.
!. Commissioner Dougherty said
in view of the increased salary
scale it was thought the police
and fire departments might in.
crease their payments into the
pension fund from tw1 and one
half to three and one-half per
cent. Representative Re d
opposed injecting the pension
issue as a rider on the salary
bill.
KvaIe Urges Living Wage
The next witness, Representa-
, tive Kvale of Minnesota, not a
committee member, urged a liv-
ing wage for police and firemen
and favorable action on the
measure.
AS President of the Chamber
of Commerce, C. w. Darr
asserted that no bill ever before
Congress ever had the more
united support of the people of
the District and that the tax
payers were willing to pay the
cost.

Bp United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Counter-
charges of unwarranted espionage
we're thrown back at Ruth Hanna
Mccormick, Illinois Republican
senatorial candidate, by Senator
Gerald P. Nye Of North Dakota to-
day when he resumed his inyesti-
CATION into Mrs. McCormick's cam

Early in July, Senator Nye de-
elared, campaign of espionage was
directed against the senate cam

tee, Of which he is chairman.
Operatives had the effrontery, -
Nye said, "to go to the friends of
the chairman and ask who would
be close enough to him to make him
see the light and do the right
thing.
There was good reason to be-
lieve mat the author of this cam
paign nad the possible purpose Of
obtaining facts unfavorable to the
reluta ion of the committee mem
hers in order to hinder the inquiry"
Mrs. Mccormick had charged
that employees of the senate commit
tee investigating her primary cam
paign expenditures had been
guilty of the crime of wire tapping"
and that If Senator Nye knew it he
was unfit to be a senator"
