LINDER'S SALARY ID BE MADE S2O0
Reduction From S960 Approved
 by Zone Board Chairman

Mayor Quigley said today that he has been assured Of the support of Judge J. E. Cooper, chairman of the board of adjustment, in his move to reduce the salary of Clerk Thomas Linder from s960 to S200 year
 Llnder was appointed clerk of the board when zoning was adopted. four years ago, and he has continued to serve with compensation fixed at s960.
 T regard the salary entirely too large the mayor said. Members of savings bank boards, for instance. sit in at monthly meetings and get s to s10-but they don't get any thing near $50 a month. Judge Cooper hds admitted the salary is rather high and has assured me of his personal cooperation"
 Linder in addition to his work IS clerk of the adjustment board is paid q salary of s5,20O d year for the combined positions of appraisal engineer and chairman of the board of assessors.

Like the ghost of Banquo, the
prohibition issue will not down,
and even refuses to be shunted off
the front page for the brief
space of a week.
It dominates the news Just now,
and will not be elbowed aside by
the London arms conference or
by any other event of interna-
tional Importance. Here are the
current developments.
Attorney General Mitchell op-
poses the plan Of placing Wrtu-
ally all the prohibition enforce.
ment agents under the Civil
Service, but proposes a regula.
ton which would bar the APP
pointment Of these agents as
well as United States district
attorneys and United States mar
ShalS-unless they are in SYM
pathy with the national prohibi.
ton act and refrain from using
alcoholic beverages"
Despite the Attorney Generals
counter-propoSal. it appears likely
that Congress will go through
with its plan Of not only trans
ferring the enforcement unit
from the Treasury Department
to the Department of Justice,
but also of placing nearly all of
its employees under Civil Service
restrictions.
While this legislation is being
framed, the Senate heard a
heated denunciation Of John F..
c. Herbert, prohibition admins
traitor for the Montana and
Idaho district, formerly Of the
Maryland-District of Columbia
district. Senators Borah Of Idaho
and Wheeler of Montana Joined
hands in the attack and de-
manded Herbert's removal from
office on grounds involving his
personal and official character.
Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury Lowman defends Her
bert from these attacks and dis
claims any plan Of forcing his
resignation. Senator Wheeler has
announced his intention of ask
ing for a Senate investigation of
the Herbert charges until the Off
Ger is either removed or resigns
from the service.
The London arms conference
survived it's first week without
making any tangible progress or
even getting down to brass
tacks." as one correspondent
phrases it.
The differences between France
and Italy occupy the center of
the stage. and just now the par
ley is in a deadlock because
these two Mediterranean powers
cannot agree on what part of
The Washington times., 1930-01-29

the agenda-that is, what types
of ships or tonnages-is to be
discussed first. 1t appears to be
the view OF both the French and
italian delegations that dis
tinct advantage will be gained
by the nation which places its
view, first before ne conference.
The American delegation is bid
ing it's time, betraying no impa-
tience,, and ready to follow Gen
eral Grants advice about fight.
ing it out even if it takes all
summer" II necessary. In the
meantime, Great Britain has an
nounced that it has Cancelled the
construction of two new 10000
ton cruisers and is ready to stop
the reconditioning Of four already
in service.
The Byrd expedition in the Ant
arctic fears that it will be frozen
in Little America" during the
coming winter months, and there
is grave danger that its food sup
ply will run low unless 1t Is eX-
tricated within a reasonably short
time.
For that reason, a call has been
sent out to rowing whalers in the
southern seas by Rear Admiral
Byrd, but so far no arrangements
have been made for his rescue.
Much will depend upon the con-
dition of the ice pack around the
expedition in the next few weeks.
1t now appears almost certain
that Lieut.. Carl Eielson and his
mechanic, Earl Borland-the avia-
tors who tried to reach the North
Pole by air-died in their ill
starred attempt. Their plane fell
on Siberian mountain, not far
from North Cape. when flying at
full speed, and two investigators
who have reached the spot be-
lieve that the aviators were in
stantly killed. The plane was found
buried deep in the snow. and it is
believed that somewhere in the
vicinity the bodies will be found.
A tempest in a teapot has been
developed over the discovery that
a QUESTIONABLE has been sent out

Charges have been made by

been made by the White House
as matter of course. The ques

CD. SUIT.
DISMISSAL
REFUSED

Preliminary matters in two
suits involving the F. H. Smith
Company and it's alleged sub.
sidiaries we're disposed of in
separate divisions of Equity Court
yesterday.
Justice Alfred A. Wheat over
ruled a motion filed by attorneys
for the Smith Company asking
that the suit Of Lucy I. Jones,
Lilly M. Jones and Chapman w.
Maupin against the company be
dismissed. The three had sued
the Smith Company and others
alleging that they had been per
suaded by representatives OF the
company to exchange good invest
ment bonds for bonds of Smith
Company developments which
were poorly secured due to in
flated valuations.
The Corcoran Courts apart
ment house suit came up in
Justice Stafford's court on the
motion of the plaintiff Nancy
DeLand, Of Bethesda, Md, for
a receiver.
Morris Cafritz. local realtor,
was appointed receiver and or
dered to post bond Of 100000.
Original bond for Cafritz was sug-
gested at $4,000, but his counsel,
Roger j. Whiteford. pointed out
that Cafritz was the guarantor
on 100000 of the bonds Of the
apartment house and had already
paid over 100000 on the guar
anty.
In the Corcoran Courts suit
Attorney w. Gwynne Gardner,
who represented the plaintiff, had
sought an Injunction to restrain
Cafritz from paying any further
sums to S. J. Smith as trustee
or to the Smith Company as de-
pository for the trustee. It was
alleged that officials of the Smith
Company were miSusing various
trust funds and fear was ex.
pressed that trust funds of the
apartment house we're not being
adequately safeguarded. The ap.
pointment of Cafritz as receiver
diSposes of the injunction.
Attorneys Wilton j. Lambert
Rudolph Yeatman and George D
Horning, jr., appeared for the
Smith Company in both matters.

were arrested at the Memorial Day

Engineers who went wild when he
saw them giving leaflets to his SOL

The two young workers told the

would not. They were put on 500

WORKERS HAIL The
CHINESE SOVIETS

Despite the oppressive heat of the
day, about a thousand workers
gathered at the Central Opera
House to celebrate the onrushing
sweep of the Soviets in China.
Hailing the rise of Soviet China
as an extension of Soviet power
throughout the world, R. Doonping,
Of the Chinese Workers and Peas
ants Alliance, emphasized the fact
that the Chinese revolution is
great mass movement, and not
merely a military conquest of the
Red Armies of the peasants and
workers. The prospects of the
growth of the revolution is good,
he said, despite the counter-revolu-
tionary jeremiahs of the renegades,
Trotskyites and Lovestonites. Doom
ping called upon the American work
ers and poor peasants to rally to
the support of the Chinese revolu-
ton, already threatened by direct
imperialist intervention. He pointed
out that already American and
British gunboats were patrolling the
Yantze. The revolution must tri-
umph, Doonping declared, because it
is developing in a period of the
world crisis and disintegration of
capitalism.
