moval Of Judge Thomas 3. Robertson
from the bench Of the Hopewell, Va.
Corporation Court was requested in q
petition sent to the General Assembly
over signatures of IA of "a members of
the Hopewell bar
A resolution requesting the Assembly
to investigate the conduct of Judge
Robertson in connection with his send
ing j. w. MapoleS, Hopewell editor, to
jail for five days on contempt charge
was adopted last week by Is Virginia
editors in session here. Mapoles was
given sentence of up to 80 days after
he had failed to disclose the identity
of the writer of letter published In
his paper
1t was stated, however, that the pc
tition filed with the clerk OF the House
OF Delegates today was not based upon
the MapoleS case. but upon actions
stretching over period of years.
Containing "a counts, the petition
charged that Judge Robertson had been
guilty of malfeasance in office; is
thoroughly incompetent: has shown
an utter disregard of the rights OF
the Commonwealth in failing to en-
force laws; has "obstructed other law
enforcement officers by indiscriminate-
ly remitting fines and suspending jah
sentences; that he "fradulently GER
titled personal expense accounts; lis
sued five contempt rules without cause"
and has been arbitrary and oppressive
and has used his official position to
damage Hopewell citizens"
The petition is brought under sec
tion Of the Virginia constitution which
provides that judges may be removed
by concurrent vote of both houses
Of the General Assembly, provided
majority Of the members of each house
concur in the action.

ALL-N|CHT LIGHTS
Council Decides on Move as
Crime Deterrent-Ex-
pense $1,132.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

HYATTSVILLE, Md, January 12.-
Street lights here will remain on all
night, instead of being extinguished at
2 a m, it was decided at the regular
monthly meeting of the mayor and
Common Council held last night In the
Municipal Building. Councilman E.
Murray Cover, chairman of the Lighting
Committee, who recommended all-night
lighting, said that Riverdale, aroused
over recent robberies there, had decided
upon all-night lighting and that while
Hyattsville had been comparatively free
from serious robberies and crime, due,
perhaps, to large extent to its eff
would be a good deterrent to crime.
Councilman Cover said that all-night
lighting would cost Hyattsville 1925
more than the approximately $500 it
now costs for street lighting, or a total
of some S6,430 year. He thought the
money could not be better spent and
was confident that citizens of the town
generally felt the same way about it.
Contract Is Ordered.
This also was the attitude of the
council generally and Corporation Coun-
sci Caesar A. Aiello was asked to enter
into a contract with the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. as soon as possible for
all-night lighting. At the same time
Mr.. Aiello was asked to take up with
the power company officials the queS-
tion of securing lower light rates here
Ordinances were adopted providing
for changing the name of Ellaville street
from Avalon avenue to Colesville road
to Garfield avenue and making failure
to observe the new traffic lights in
stalled on the Washington Baltimore
Boulevard unlawful. Conviction for
failure to observe the lights will carry
a fine of not more than S5 and not less
than ST and in default of fine jail
sentence not exceeding five days

Ia TOILETTE ASKS
PROSPERITY BOND
Insists Federal Public Works
Can Start Wheels of In
dustry Humming.

Federal funds to start the wheels of
industry turning again were insisted
upon last night by Senator La Toilette,
Progressive Republican, of Wisconsin,
who declared substantial improvement
of conditions in the United States could
be achieved regardless Of world condi-
tions.
Defending his own proposals for con-
quering the depression, Senator La Fol-
lette. in a radio interview with William
Hard, newspaper correspondent, assert
ed popular welfare and the welfare Of
business go along together" The son
of Fighting Bob" has introduced bills
calling for a prosperity bond issue OF
SIS 500 900 900 for public works. of $780,
100000 for unemployment relief
through State, municipal and other To-
cal governments and for the establish
ment of a National Economic Council to
secure a planning OF our national
economy"
Urges Purchasing Power.
Recreation of purchasing power was
the keynote of the Wisconsin Senator S
interview. He contended that, whereas
CORPORATION, approved yesterday by the
Senate, may do something toward pre-
venting bankruptcies and further de-
cline of security values. it can and will
do nothing to put purchasing power at
the disposal of those whose purchasing
powr has been curtailed or wiped out.
After the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation gets through absorbing
frozen assets. the banks may be more
LIQUID. but will this start up the wheels
of industry? I am convinced we must
recreate purchasing power. If we are
to have mass production, we must have
mass consumption. Lending money to
the steel corporation will not produce
orders for steel. Lending money to the
railroads may prevent receiverships but
it will not create traffic.
Would Create Markets.
"On the other hand public works
program will create instant orders for
materials and instant traffic for the
railroads. Iron, steel, lumber, cement
brick, tile. glass and all other building
supply industries will be stimulated i'm
mediately Resumption of production
on an increased scale by those indus
tries will, in turn, require products
from mines, quarres and forests. Large
shipments of both finished and raw ma
terials, necessitated by a program of
such size, would be reflected at once
in increased traffic for the railroads
and increased business activity for the
whole country"
Senator La Toilette said testimony at
recent hearings of his Committee on
Manufactures proves beyond refuta-
ton that the social progress made dur
ing the last so years will be wiped out
unless action is taken quickly" He
expressed doubt of the success of any
immediate further drives by Communi-
ty Chests or special charity funds.

SAYS REVISION NECESSARY.
Mussolini's Paper Declares War Debts
and Reparations InseparabIe.

ROME, January II (P).-Officials at
the foreign Office today accepted as in
line with the government policy an
editorial in Premier Mussolini's Milan
newspaper, Popolo DItalia, demanding
that something be done about debts
and reparations If civilization Is to
survive
Italy still maintains its policy of re-
framing from any initiative looking
toward reduction of international debts,
it was said, but the government con-
siders reparationS and debts as sim
gle problem and therefore contends
that the circumstances Of the debtors
as a group will raise the question of
debt reduction.
When such a question arises Italy's
action will be determined by her OBJ
viouS interests.
This was as far as the foreign Office
would 90. The officials refrained from
discussing the newspapers description
of further reparations as forced
tribute" They recalled, however. that
the premier always advocated abandon
ment of reparations.

DEBT ACTION URGED.
Editorial Believed to Give Views Of
Mussolini on War Obligations.

MILAN. January II (Ps-Premier
Mussolini's newspaper, Popolo D'Italia,
printed an editorial today calling upon
the nations to do something about the
war debt and reparations situation i'm
mediately IF they want Western civil
lization to survive"
The editorial, which was not signed,
but which was understood to represent
the personal viewpoint of II Duce con-
tanned clear intimation that the debts
as well as the reparations should be
Cancelled.
Conference Useless.
1t would be useless to hold the COM
ing international reparationS conference
at Lausanne, the editorial said, unless
there are assurances beforehand that
definite action will be taken there, add
ing that a re-examination of the tech
nical points by experts is unnecessary,
because these technical points are
known to everybody.
The decision, if one is reached, it
said, must be based on the political
aspect. This is the cnly, the inev-
liable and the necessary decision" it
said, and if the nations are not dis
posed to make it, it would be better
to declare an end to this costly and
very dangerous mania for conferences,
which always leads to delusions."
mo nation can save itself from eco
nomic crisis by boarding gold" the edi-
torial said. We refer to France"
Disorders Foreseen.
1t referred to Mussolini's speech at
Naples on october Is, declaring it is
time to put an end to "the tragic
bookkeeping of the war" and said that
with the coming conference in mind
there is strong reason for applying
not later than this month, that diff
cult precept contained in the most
simple and most universal of Christian
prayers"
The peoples will not stand for an
other Winter Of crisis without dis
