THREE D. c. BILLS
MAY Be TAKEN Up
Senate Committee Has Rail
Merger, Howell and Market
Measures on List.

When the Senate District committee
holds its weekly meeting at o'clock
tomorrow 1t may decide its course Of
action on three important measures
street railway merger, the Howell local
prohibition bill and the Capper bill for
a new Center Market.
Chairman Capper also intends to d.
rect the attention Of the committee at
this meeting to the recent request Of
the Commissioners for a law empower
ing them to make municipal regula-
tons for the control Of outdoor adver-
Using signs.
Bureau relating to guardianship pro-
cedure in the District also may be taken
up by the committee tomorrow.
The street railway merger resolution
has been before the committee several
times this session for the consideration
of various amendments. The committee
has already taken from the resolution
those sections which would establish a
new plan Of court procedure in utility
cases and recommended them to the
Senate as q separate bill. The COM
mittee also held hearing some weeks
ago on the question Of reduced rates for
school children.
The Howell prohibition bill was heard
at length Tuesday, with nearly all Of the
discussion relating to how far the search
warrant provisions Of existing law should
be extended. The bill also would con-
Ter prohibition enforcement authority on
all members Of the police force, where
as only SO policemen now have this
power.
The Capper market bill would au-
thorlze the District to build a new Cen
ter Market when the present one Is
abandoned. Whether all Of these meas
ures can be considered tomorrow will
depend somewhat on how much time
each one takes.

Attacking testimony given the House
judiciary committee by Mrs. John Siple,
president Of the National Federation of
Women'S Clubs, who told the committee
she represented 10000, 900 women who
wanted prohibition retained, Mrs Sabin
said the majority Of women's clubs had
not polled their members on the sub
ject.
Representative Mary r. Norton,
Democrat, Of New Jersey asserted that
sentiment in the House has changed.
Tydings Predicts Repeal.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary
land said that conditions under prohi-
hibition are as bad now as they were
10 years before 1t was passed. He said

person had been killed. Pleading the
theory Of States rights. he advocated
return to State and local option, and
asserted prohibition viii be repealed

Former Senator Wadsworth, Repub-
lean, Of New York, declared the Gov

and that the reason prohibition en-
forcement Is O failure Is that the law
docs not appeal to the conscience Of
the average person"
Joseph Tumulty, who served PreSi-
dent Wilson as secretary, applauded the
activity of the women. Referring to
suggestions in Congress that the Presi-
dent call out the Army and Navy to
enforce prohibition, he said the Presi-
dent didn't dare, and that "if Congress
dared to formally ask it lamp posts all
over the country would be decorated
with the bodies Of Senators and Rep
reSentativeS."
The District council Of the organiza-
ton Is headed by Miss Belle Gurnes
and Mrs. Norton Is vice chairman. Mrs.
william B. Mason Is secretary and Mrs.
John F. Dryden treasurer.

Henry c. KellerS, naval medical officer,
who was the representative of the
Smithsonian on an eclipse expedition
last year. He collected more than $4,000
specimens of mammals, birds, reptiles.

"As the date for the eclipse ap-
preached" he says, 1.-THE natives Of the

about the event and made black and
white crosses on their houses" AS the
result Of lectures to allay these fears,
DR.. Kellers obtained the assistance of
several thousand native children In in
creasing his collections.
One of the most adventurous expedi-
tons was that Of Rev. David C. Graham

to get into the mountainous district,
crossing swollen rivers and in constant
danger of bandit attack. In the town
Of Moupin he secured the first day the
skin of giant panda, one of the least
known creatures in the world, which is
practically unrepresented in museum
collections. It is q relative of both the
bear and raccoon families, about the
size Of black bear, and its fur is al
most entirely white.
Leaving Moupin, Graham reports, "10
days of hard, steep climbing brought
the party well up In the mountains at
an elevation Of 13.400 feet, in the midst
Of forests of rhododrendron and fir. /
would have gone on to higher and
better hunting ground, but the terri
tory was infested with robbers. We
almost literally stepped into a robbers
nest"

Crane Is Ordered to Weigh
Types, Seeking Plan to
Strengthen Them.
JEFFERSON JUNIOR HIGH
STORM THREAT is CITED
Excessive 0verhang of Roofs of
Buildings Is Blamed for
Damage From Wind.

The problem Of fortifying the portable
schools against wind damage will be
kept as the school systems own, as a
result Of special meeting of the Board
Of Educations committee on buildings,
grounds and equipment, at the Frank
lin Administration Building this morn
ing.
Jere ]. Crane, first assistant superin-
tendent in charge of business affairs
and an architect, has been instructed
by the boards committee to study the
various types of portable schools now
in use, with view to evolving some
feasible plan by which the frail roofs
can be fastened more securely in their
framing and vertical walls.
Today's committee meeting was the
direct result of Charles F. Carusis in
Btructions to DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
school superintendent, to request the
municipal architect to make study of
the portables. DR.. CaruSi, school board
president, called for the inspection and
an attempt to fortify the portableS
against wind damage when he became
concerned over the possible repetition
Of the narrow escape of 35 Jefferson
Junior High School students who were
In q portable Monday when section
Commenting on the portable schools,
Mr.. Crane said that most of the dam
age they suffer in windStorms is due
10 the excessive overhang of the roofs.
The rafterS and the roof planking eX-
tend approximately 80 inches beyond
the walls of the building, providing
leverage for sudden gusts of wind. AL
though he did not say he would adopt
this plan, Mr.. Crane declared he was
Of the opinion that the overhanging
roofs might be cut off flush with the
walls of the school buildings and gut
ter spout adequate to carry off the
roof water be substituted. He said fur
Their that, as the portables are con-
Otructed now, the roofs are made in
sections and are screw fastened in
order to facilitate transfer from site
TO site. He believes that if the roofs
were nailed securely to the framing
without regard to future moves of the
whole building, still more strength and
rigidity would be given.
Whatever plan Mr.. Crane adopts will
be executed on all portable schools by
the District Repair Shop with the
counsel and advice of Albert L. Harris,
municipal architect.
The three members of the school
boards buildings, grounds and equip
nent committee who discussed the
portable school situation this morning
were DR.. H. Barrett Learned, chairman;
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle and Rev
F. I. A. Bennett.

BABY BROTHERS START
AUTO THEY CAN'T STOP
Father Overtakes Machine as It
Heads for Busy Street
Intersection.

The Downs boys, Tommy, years old,
and Francis, half that age, gave their
father a couple Of bad moments yes
terday when they left the Downs resi-
dence, at 924 Twenty-second street, In
an automobile which they knew how
TO start, but not how to stop.
The two boys grew impatient when
their parents delayed taking them to see
the much-discussed cherry blossoms
about the Tidal Basin and concluded to
make the trip without their elders.
In some inexplicable manner 2-year-
old Francis managed to start the motor
and get the car in gear. The machine
lurched away toward q busy intersec-
ton Just as the shout of poSserby
appraised the father, Ernest Downs, OF
his children's plight.
Mr.. Downs raced after the automobile
and overhauled it in time to cut of
the motor before the machine reached
the intersection.
What happened to Tommy and Fran
els behind the closed door at 924 Twen-
ty-second street is their business.
