PROTEST
WINE RULE

Protesting against unfair, un-
necessary and humiliating re-
strictions governing the distribu-
ton of sacramental wine, a COM
mittee representing 800 orthodox
Jewish rabbis of New York have
presented a new plan before DR..
Doran, who has charge of per
rnitS.
In what is believed to be the
first official protest by leaders
of the Jewish religion. it is pro-
posed that synagogues with less
than 300 seats be allotted $50
gallons per year and that those
with more than 800 seats be per-
mitted amounts ranging to $50
gallons. Withdrawals under the
new plan would total about 200,-
900 gallons by New York syna-
gogues as compared with 100000
gallons withdrawn last year.
Rabbi j. Margolin, vice preSi-
dent of the Assembly of Hebrew
Orthodox Rabbis of America and
Canada; Rabbi Kalman Kelner,
chairman of the board of direc-
tors, and Rabbi Bernard BirStein,
recording secretary, presented the
PROPOSAL,

JOB.LESS FLOCK
To DISTRICT

Despite warnings Of a grave
unemployment problem here and
the plea not to come here in
search of work, men continue to
arrive daily from all parts Of the
country.
This was indicated in the Octo-
ber report Of the charitable work
Of the Salvation Army made pub
lie today by Ensign Gilbert S.
Decker, welfare officer Of the
Homeless Mems Bureau.
The first 100 men to register
last month came from 26 differ
ent States, and applications for
relief were received from 367
new men during the month.
More than three times as many
men. both white and colored,
were cared for last month as
during the same period in 1929.
and Ensign Decker declared that
the problem of handling the
homeless men this winter will be
a serious one.
The greater proportion Of men
applying for relief were perfectly
willing to work if they could only
find jobs, he said. OF the white
men applying for relief, 352 gave
unemployment as the cause for
the request. OF this number %
were less than 81 years old, 1913
were under 81 and less than rs
were over so.
Overcoats were given to 70
men and shoes to 80 while 1876
regular meals were distributed
among the groups. At the colored
hotel 257 men applied and were
given a total of 466 nights lodg-
ings and 101 meals were served.

SUIT
HITS MADDUX

Declaring that properties of
which he was trustee, controlled
by the F. H. Smith Company,
are now being managed by H.
c. Maddux, who is under indict-
ment in connection with his al
legged association with the Smith
company, Samuel j. Henry today
asked for a rehearing of the mo-
ton which caused his removal.
The protective committee OF
bondholderS of F. H. Smith Sc
curities recently brought actions
in District Supreme Court to re-
move Henry as trustee, paying
agent and depositary of a num-
ber of apartment and hotel build
ings on grounds that his indict-
ment on mail fraud and embeZ-
element charges operated against
the interests of the projects. Al
though Henry and his counsel,
Harry B. Barger, contested the
move, the court removed Mr..
Henry in each instance, and ap-
pointed the American Security
and Trust Company in his stead.
Recently Henry was granted a
separate trial in the conspiracy
and embezzlement case involving
himself, G. Bryan Pitts, C. Elbert
Anadale and John H. Edwards,
which is scheduled to begin Mon
day.
The motion for a rehearing on
Henry's removal in the different
apartment projects is accompa-
MED by his own affidavit as we'll

5. SCHEDULE
Potomac Electric Power Of
ficiaI to Schedule Changes;
Citizens Hearing Is Denied

A decisive cut in local electric
light rates is forecast by the
announcement today that the
Potomac Electric Power Company
shortly will submit to the Public
Utilities Commission a new
schedule of these charges.
The newest rate, which may be
4 cents per kilowatt hour, the
lowest in the United States, is
slated to go into effect January
/ if the commission approves the
scale.
Hearing Unlikely
Pending the submission of the
new schedule, it appears prob
able that the request for public
hearing on the subject of light
rates, recently made by W. NICK.
Clayton on behalf of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations,
will be denied.
If the Public Utilities Com.
mission and the power company
reach an agreement, the former
will hold that a public hearing
on the subject of rates is unneces-
sary, it was indicated today.
According to the statement Of
the commission, the sum to be
applied to reduction of rates this
year is $830,000. The value of the
company's property, as fixed by
the commission. is $49,412,342.43.
eEN can ON D...:-A
Gross receipts of the company,
for the year were set at S10,64O,-
810.53, while operating expenses
and other deductible expenses
amounted to $5.275,254.SS.
The company's computations
had placed the amount to be ap-
piled to reduction of rates at
$4,000. The reason for dis
crepancy, according to commits
sion officials. is that the COM
pany's accountants included in
the valuation of company prop
erty the amount which has been
spent in construction of the new
Tenth Street building.
The commission, however, re-
fused to include this sum, hold.
ing that only equipment which
is completed and actually in use
may be included in the valuation
figures.
Hitch on Valuation
Utilities Commission officials
would not hazard a guess as to
what the new rates for electric
current will be, as they do not
yet know just how the reduction
is to be applied.
In the past the principal re-
ductions have always been ap-
piled to current used for do
mestic purposes, but this may be
changed for the coming year.
1t seems likely, however, that
the rate for home consumption
may be as low as 4 cents a kilo-
watt hour, a reduction of Z cent.
The accountants of the commits
sion and those of the company
had been unable to agree as to
the figure at which the Four
teenth Street property of the
company, recently sold to the
Federal government, should be
included in the valuations. The
property was sold for $500, 900
and cost $2.434.OOO.

DerbyHatandLong-T Tailed:
Dress Suit Gaining

far short of the so per cent record
of a few years ago, it is a notice
able gain as the stiff hat had
sunk to below the 10 per cent
mark.
The tuxedo, it is stated, has
seen its most popular day. With
the religion of economy practiced
during the days of the world war,
the tux was drafted to serve in
many hitherto strange places. 1t
is to revert to it's original place in
the scheme of things. which means
that it will be used for dinners
and for stag affairs.

The growing popularity of the
iron hat" or derby with men and
the displacement of the tuxedo
by the tailed dress suits for formal
wear by males is an existing fact
and not a theory, according to
Washington manufacturers and
dealers in mems goods.
The derby, indispensable to care
fully-dressed men of a few years
ago. was replaced by the soft felt
hat largely because of the every
day use of automobiles.
Beginning shortly more than a
year ago, however, Washington
dealers state, sales of the hard hat
began to mount. Now about 25
per cent of the headgear sales are
derbies. While this figure falls

Assurances of prompt action
by the House upon the measure
already have been received and
its enactment into law as one Of
the first acts of the new Congress
is looked for.
Miss McNally said today:
'It is my belief that the half

and is now on the House
calendar. There appears to be

Data. obtained by the Budget
Bureau from the chief clerks OF
the various departments. which
will soon be submitted, will show
that no additional expense will
be imposed upon the Treasury by
the enactment of the bill, in the
view Of Miss McNally.
The cost of Saturday half-holi-
days to Federal employees
throughout the year will be deter
mined by the Bureau of Efficiency
next Monday when answers to a
ouestionnaire sent to all executive
departments will have been re.
ceived. Budget officers and other
officials of the various depart.
ments will state whether grant.
ing of the half days of freedom
would require employment of
additional funds and increased
personnel.

tailed descriptions of the various
Government units and the queries
are apparently designed to re-
quire an analysis of present costs
and hours of labor for employees
as compared with changes which
might be needed under the half
holiday plan to offset probable
time losses and added help.

MANILA, Philippine Islands, May. 40.
Secretary Of War Patrick j. Hurley's
letter to Senator Hiram Bingham, Re-
publican, Connecticut. regarding the
status Of the Philippines is accepted
here as the administration voice and
as settling the question during APresi-
dent Hoover's incumbency. It Is con-
sidered the most significant American
action since the enactment Of the Is
lands organic act by Congress In 1916.
1t will probably effect new alignment
Of parties and readjustment OF the
Filipinos' point Of view.
Secretary Hurley's firmness and the
absence of promises in his declaration
are contrast to President Harding's
statement nine years ago. The Secre-
tary's definiteneSs. with the admission
that the United States is interested in
the Philippines on its own account as
well as the islands, contrasts even with
Coolidges statement when he was
President.
The letters denial that the United
States Is pledged either legally or moral
ly ever to concede independence gives
the Filipino public a first insight into
the attitude of the Republicans as
sounding a note of conservatism in
American Oriental policy.
Filipinos accepting the statement as
an authentic expression Of Washington's
standpoint ask that the independence
missions now working for the Philip
pine cause in Washington return home.
