way Business Association, that the
railroads of the country this year will
spend approximately $1,060, 100000 in
improvements, equaling the record for
expenditure set during 1928.
Pointing out that the present trend
in railroad business management, the
speaker said that the railroad inter-
ests are no longer satisfied to conflne
their activities to the rails, but are now
going into what has come to be known
as the co-ordinAted transportation
field. Automotive and aeronautical
facilities are being acquired and the
purchase of water transports Is being
considered, he asserted.
Mr.. Esch's talk, 1.-THE Age Of Speed"
traced the evolution of transportation
from the crude cart to the airplane.
Methods of transportation provide
the most accurate measure of ciViliza-
ton. Mr.. Hanna declared. He predicted

Illness of Inspector Smith,
Complainant, Causes
PoStponement.
SCHOOL OFFICER DENIES
LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
Jere Crane Hearing on Complaint
of District Health Officer Con-
tinued Until Saturday.

Hearing of the smoke law violation
charge against David Lynn, Capitol ar
chitect involving the Capitol, was post
pOned a week at Police Court today on
account Of the illness Of Inspector l.. r..
Smith, who swore to the warrant against
Lynn.
Although Lynn did not appear in
court today, he was represented by As
sistant District Attorney Renah F. Cam
alier. who questioned Edward Thomas,
assistant corporation counsel, on the
ACCESSIBILITY of charging his client. How
ever, Thomas contends that the Capitol
is not immune TO the smoke violation
law.
Capitol Power Plant Named.
The warrant designates the Capitol
power plant, at IS e street southeast,
as the offender.
When the charge was filed last week
Lynn appealed to United States Attor-
ney Rover as to whether Speaker Long
worth, as chairman of the House ONCE
Building Commission, was not the one
who should have been named in the
complaint.
Meanwhile Jere j. Crane, first assist
ant superintendent in charge of school
buildings and grounds, who was named
in q warrant sworn out by the District
health offlcer as a violator Of the Dis
trict'S smoke nuisance law, in connection
with excessive smoke emanating from
the Wilson Normal School furnaces, is
due to reappear in Police Court before
Judge Ralph Given, Saturday morning.
Crane appeared In Police Court Mon
day morning, the only one of the public
officers charged with the smoke viola
ton, and Judge Given on hearing the
school of1cer's contention that he is
not responsible for school building
smoke continued the case until Satur-
day. Acting as his own defense counsel
when, he says, the corporation counsel
acted as prosecutor, Crane told the
court that the language of the law
itself excludes him from all RESPONSE
bility. The language which he cited
follows:
"That the owner, agent, lessee or oc-
cupant of any building of any deScrip-
ton, from the SmokeStack or CHM
neySS Of which there shall issue or be
smoke or cinderS within the District of
Columbia ON or after the day above
named, shall be deemed and held guilty
Of creating q public nuisance and Of vi
olating the provisions of this act"
Not Owner or Occupant.
Crane told the court that under no
stretch Of the imagination" could he,
as first assistant superintendent Of
schools in charge of buildings and
grounds, be considered owner, agent,
lessee or occupant Of a school house.
The warrant for Crane was signed
by DR.. William Fowler, District health
ofncer.

lnterdepartmental Pay Board Seeks to
Remedy Conditions in Proposal to Re-
wise Existing Compensation Scale.

Government" the board contends.
"They may not be so ordered except
with their own consent, but their in
terest in the service and their devotion
to the Government is usually such that,
despite the personal sacrifice Of busi-
ness interests in which they have en-
gagged or of well earned leisure, they
respond to the call"
The board also recommends that the
pay Of the personnel Of the National
Guard and of the Reserves when on
Federal duty and receiving Federal pay
be that of the personnel Of the Regular
services Of equivalent grades and length
Of commissioned service with such Serv-
ice, to be determined in accordance
with existing law. 1t proposes that
special pay for administrative functions
for commissioned officers Of the Ma
tional Guard. pay for warrant officers
for performance of their appropriate
duties, and armory drill pay for en-
listed men should be continued IS at
present.
While remarking that 1t is not spe-
officially q matter of pay legislation, the
board has been Impressed with the fact
that ex-enlisted men, retired enlisted
men, and, in fact, retired ofncers OF the
several services, receive far less Dement'S
than do the veterans Of the World and
other wars, especially in the matters OF
pensions or compensations, admission
to Veterans Bureau hospitals, subSis-
tence while under treatment in Gov
eminent hospitals, and In some places
forfeiture of pay or allowance when
entering SailerS' or soldiers homes.
Republication Means Sacrifice.
Pensions for disability in general
- At a
ceased personnel" adds the board. ARE
fixed by law more than so years old,
and are considerably lower than those
allowed veterans of the Spanish War
and World War. Furthermore, veterans
Of these wars may enter any Veterans
Bureau hospital and may receive trans
portation thereto and may be SubSisted
therein without any charge.
Retired men of the Regular service
may enter only the hospitals Of their
own services, must proceed thereto at
their own expense and must pay for
their Subsistence therein. These men
have served many years, and they de-
serve equal consideration and equal
privileges with veterans of relatively
brief wars, whose service may be but
for q year or less. The board believes
that these discriminate against men
of long service should be brought to the
attention of the heads Of the respective
departments, in order that appropriate
corrective legislation may be recon-
mended."
The board proposes that the existing
re-enlistment gratuities for enlisted
men, additional compensation for spe-
ciel qualification in the use of arms,
pay for specialists ratings for enlisted
men, and rates Of pay Of the insulaH
force Of the Navy be continued In effect.
