Quick Telegraphic
Reply From Manila
Is Puzzle to C.. of C..
Reply to MessageReceived
at City Club 20 Minutes
After 1t Was Sent.

Members of the Washington Chamber
of Commerce were nursing headaches
today following bathing experiment in
time juggling performed before them
during demonstration of speed teleg-
raphy in the City Club yesterday.
The business minds of the trade or
ganization are cropping groggily with
calendars and time tables in an effort
to convince themselves of the truth of
the ditty:
when it's IL o'clock in Washington
It's Tuesday over there" in old Manila.
Or. to be explicit, they want to know
it's yesterday over here.
These puzzles, developed when 1t was
found that a telegram dispatched at
1851 O'Clock yesterday afternoon at the
City Club did not reach Manila until
this morning at o'clock, Manila time,
although reply was received from
there just Is minutes after the message
was sent.
Its as simple as can be-" one en-
lightened member explained after the
demonstration. THE message was sent
today and arrived tomorrow. Tomor-
row being today in Manila. the reply
was dispatched yesterday, arriving here
today, which, of course, Is really tomor-
row in the islands. Now, If we sent a
message tomorrow"
But the last of his audience had
staggered away for breath Of air and

FORMER CADETS

rotary "Unfair and
Biased" in Letter.

Aroused over letter condemning the
Washington High School Cadet Corps
written to DR.. Frank w. Ballou, super
intendent of schools. by Benjamin c.
Marsh, secretary of the Peoples Lobby,
two former members of the corps today
wrote joint communication to The
Star defending the corps.
The one-time cadets, Howard d.
Lerch and Robert A. Littleford, con-
tended Marsh was unfair and biased"
They added the cadet corps turns boys
into men-something that many indi-
vlduals fail to get out of high school.
The Cadet Corps has record that Mr..
Marsh cannot destroy"
Belief was expressed by Lerch and
Littleford that the corps is the finest
organization in the high schools. It pro-
notes sportsmanship and good feeling
among the students and between the
high schools. 1t is an incentive to ex-
ceptional scholarship of the boys in
school. The physical benefits Of the
cadet corps are extremely valuable to
the boy, who also is given training in the
leadership of men, which he would not
get otherwise.
1T is well recognized fact that the
leaders in the cadets are invariably the
leaders in the school. To cite an ex-
ample we would be forced to call the
roll OF the cadet corps. The higher type
OF American youth are those who join
the cadet corps, usually of their own
free will
The former cadets took issue with a
statement of Marsh that no intelligent
educator advocates military training un-
less he is "a kept tool" 1t was pointed
out that similar units are trained in
numerous reputable colleges.

CHECKING
SUSPECTED PLACES
Police Take Names of Per-
sons Entering House on |
st. Causing Complaints.

Inaugurating a new policy of picket
ing places suspected of selling whisky
to determine whether a raid is justi-
fed, police of the first precinct station
are maintaining a vigil at the entrance
to a house in the 1900 block of street
in carrying out an order issued by Maj.
Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of po-
lice.
Several complaints have been made
against the place, according to police,
and Maj. Pratt said today that a con-
tinuous watch would be kept until evil
dence sufficient to warrant a raid has
been obtained or until police are con-
WINGED the place is operating legally.
The police pickets took their place
outside the building last night and jot-
ted down the names, addresses and
occupations of persons entering the
house, The information will be turned
over to Maj. Pratt and a few may be
hailed into court in an effort TO obtain
information to close the place if it is
operating illegally.
A few persons halted by police as they
prepared to walk into the building be-
came timid after being questioned by
the officers and walked away without
entering the place. but the majority
answered the questions promptly and
passed in.
That some have no intention of being
picked up and questioned in court,
however. is evidenced by some of the
names given, chief among which were
Rudy Vallee," George Washington, -
Herbert Hoover"
Maj. Pratt declared that he has "is-
sued instructions to have every ques-
tionable place in the District watched
and closed if sufficient evidence is oh

CHARGES AGAINST
ELECTRICAL FIRM
Papers Filed in 81 Cases for
Installing Fixtures With
out Permits.

Information papers in 81 cases charg-
ing installation of electric fixtures and
wiring in prominent local stores, shops
and Office buildings without District
permits were filed today at Police Court
against the General Illuminating Co.,
a New York corporation which has
been subletting installation jobs to
many local electrical contractors for
several months.
While Inspector E. B. Fetty, District
Electrical Department, said that he
had located 800 instances where the de-
Tending corporation had apparently
failed to secure permits, Louis Mamo-
rick of New York, president of the Arm
was convicted of one charge by Judge
Gus A. Schultz today. The sentence
was suspended for two weeks along
with the other so cases to allow the
defendants to prepare defense at the
request OF Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Edward Thomas.
Fetty said that he discovered that
the electrical concern had been falling
to secure official installation rights
when numerous complaints of defective
wiring on the part of the General
Illuminating Co.'s agents came into his
ONCE. These complaints numbered in
the hundreds and. consisted of failing
to solder and tape joints in electric light
wire and using an unimproved type of
wire, Fetty said.
Several weeks ago several collectors
and statesmen said to have been en-
ployed by the firm were arrested by
Fetty. They were released when
Mamoriek came to this city from New
York and had the charges made out
against his company and said that he
personally would appear as defendant.
Mamoriek blames trade rivalry for the
charges. He declared that his concern
had sublet the installation contracts to
local firms and had not done the actual
wiring.
The law requires that a defendant
shall pay a fine of $25 when convicted
OF charge of this nature.
Sixty-three shops, office buildings
and apartment houses where the CEN
eral Illuminating are alleged to have
mad fixtures installed without permits
are located on Fourteenth street. TWEEN
ty others are on Pennsylvania avenue,
and Assistant Corporation Counsel
Thomas said that more than the 81
cases may be made out against the de-
tending corporation. Meanwhile Mamo-
rick was released on $1,000 bond

AMENDED BY D. C. HEADS
Commissioners Authorize Changes
Affecting C Street Northeast and
@ Street Northwest.

Two changes in the parking regula-
tons were approved by the District
Commissioners today
No parking will be allowed at any
time on the north side of G street

streets. This is the place where Motor
Cycle Policeman Ross baylor was killed
when his motor cycle collided with
street car, and the Traffic Bureau has
been studying the layout for some time
in an effort to solve the complicated
traffic problem there. The abolition of
parking in this stretch was recon-
mended by the coroner's jury which in
quired into Kaylor's death.
The other change was to prohibit
parking on @ street from Twenty
TO Twenty fifth streets ON the south side
from 8 to 9:I5 am. and on the north
side from 4 to pm. @ street is now
being used as bus route, and traffic
on this stretch has increased to the
point to make the restriction necessary.

STREET CAR PLATFORMS
AROUSE DISPUTATION
Controversy Marks Proposed Re-
moval of Loading Facilities at
Intersection of Two Avenues.

A controversy arose today between the
Public Utilities Commission and trafflc
authorities over the usefulness of the
street car loading platforms, which pro-
ject into the intersection OF New Hamp-
shire and Georgia avenues.
Traffic officials urged the commission,
which has jurisdiction over street rail-
wary property, to order the removal 'of
the platforms, in view of numerous
complaints following the installation of
traflc lights at the intersection The
commission, however, refused on the
ground that they serve a useful purpose
and that it would be impractical to re-
move them.
The chief objection to the platform
is that. jutting as they do into the in
tersection, they interfere with vehicles
making a left turn from New EIamp-
shire into Georgia avenue to the north.
The commission contends that ID move
them back would interfere with a turn
back switch near the intersection of
Georgia and New Hampshire avenues,
which is used extensively in The base
ball season, aside from making them
useless to street car riders, who wish to
board and leave the cars at the inter-
section.
