MEETS DEFEAT IN arHUuSE AFTER SPECTAC-
 EMONSTRATION.

x WASHINGTON proposal for sax on beer was defeated in the House today after the vets had made spec tacu.ar demonstration with demands for the abolition of prohibition. The beer tax amendment was defeated by a vote of 216 to 132.
 The high point in the debate was reached when Mrs. Mary Norton, Democrat, of New Jersey, garbed in 2 plain black dress, rebuked members who, she contended, drink, but vote dry. The drys rallied their majority forces with less dramatic display and more precision. They marshaled be- hind the dry leader, Representative Thomas Blanton, Democrat, of Texas. in telling the House that liquor ruined everything it has ever touched. The outcome was a foregone conclusion from the start, but it was pressed as part of the wet campaign being con- ducted by the anti-prohibitionists of the House.
 The amendment was offered by the Tammany leader, Rep. Cullen, of New York. It provided tax of 3 cents pint on all beer, porter, lager and ale of less than 2.75 per cent alcoholic contents by volume

Delegate Wickersham hesitatd about introducing bill to extend the Smith Hughes Act to Alaska, be- cause, after investigation, he was un- certain as to the value of the Act to Alaska and whether the Federal Board for Vocational Education would approve such a bill. The Act would provide the minimum of $10,- GOO for agriculture, $10,000 for trade, home economics and industrial educa- ton, and $1O,OOO for misunderstanding, the $3O.OO0 to be provided by the Government when an equal amount was provided for these purposes by the Territory. Dr. J. c. Wright, sec retary of the Federal Board, ex- pressed doubt as to the Board ap- proving a bill to extend these benefits to Alaska until a more thorough in- vestigation was made as to Alaska's needs. He suggested that the situa- tion be first studied by competent investigator, favored by the Governor and the Legislature. The matter was then referred by the Delegate to Governor Parks, who conferred with Commissioner of Education Keller, after which the Governor wrote:
 After thorough discussion, we decided that it would be. much better if the matter is approached along the lines suggested by nr. .WGght.

Representative Bowman of West Vir-

Of marked safety zones. These &C.

Representative to lodge formal COM
plant with the traffic directors office.
He was assured that the matter would
be taken up at the next meeting of the
Commissioners Official Traffic Advisory
Council.
Obviously, as has been proved in

there is only one type of safety zone

platform or a zone so protected by a

Interstate Bus Regulation

Representatives Of the District Public
Utilities Commission have appeared be-
fore the Senate Committee now con-
sidering the bill to effect the regula-
ton Of interstate motor bus service to
ask its amendment so as to preserve the
power Of local authorities to control the
routes. stopping places and terminals
OF such carriers. While the amendment
Is proposed by the District Commission.
IT is intended to apply to other munic-
Qualities as well as Washington.
This amendment should be adopted
and thus become feature of the pro-
posed law. The Interstate Commerce
Commission should not be burdened
with such details as those that affect
the immediate local situation. Hereto
fore the division OF authority over this
mode OF transportation has caused
trouble in the District. Recently a
situation has arisen which illustrates
clearly the necessity of placing these
services, as far as they affect the Dis
trict, under local supervision, in re-
spect to routes, stopping places and
terminals. The Public Utilities Com
mission has been able to bring about an
agreement on the part Of the bus lines
to establish terminals on street
spaces only by invoking the general au-
thority of traffic control. 1t cannot
compel the establishment of a central
terminal as long as the individual COM
panies and lines decline to engage in
such an enterprise.
The fact that the lines entering the
District are engaged in interstate trans
portation should not relieve them from
direct local supervision and control as
to routes, stopping places and terminals
Those are strictly local matters. The
rates charged by such lines may be sub
ject to the determination Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, but the
conditions of operation in the Capital
territory should be left to District regu-
lation, and similarly in other jurisdic-
tons should be subject to the reason
able rule of the local authorities.

at Shanghai for defensive service against

It Is reported that Sun 70, former

to be summoned to Marking, Is soon
to proceed to Hongkong to confer with
HUI Han Min, while representatives of
the Northern war lords, Yen Hsi Shan
and Feng Yu Hsiang. are expected soon
to arrive in Canton to discuss the
national emergency with Cantonese
leaders. These movements portend an
extensive anti Chang Kai Shek alliance
and a possible revival of civil war in
the Summer Meanwhile, Hupeh Prov
ince, which lies to the west Of Marking.
is In turmoil. Communist forces have
recently become active there and have
menaced Hankow. Banditry is rife and
civil administration is demoralized.
In the course of the recent Japanese
attack at Shanghai Feng Yu Hsiang
went to Marking and joined the
National government forces. His CO.
operation was not whole hearted, how
ever, and he and his immediate follow
ing were regarded with doubt He
was member of the triumvirate of
military leaders who in theory COM
manded the defensive troops. Suspicion
was entertained that he was present
solely for the purpose of taking ad-
vantage of the distraction of the hour
to seize the reirs of government at
favorable opportunity.
This situation strengthens the hope
for an early settlement of the Japanese
affair. but it opens the prospect of a
revival Of warfare within China between
the factions, which would grievorlsly
retard the settlement of the southern
provinces in the semblance OF orderly

consequences 10 himself. Formerly,
Washington experimental with so-called
safety zones which were designated
merely by painting white lines on the
pavement. In the past few years raised
iron buttons have been used to mark
the zones. Neither OF these methods
has provided the safety for which the
zones were designed.
1t Is distinctly up to the Traffic Ad-
visory Council to urge the Commission
ers to replace all of the obsolete safety
zones with platforms or with obstruc-
tons to traf1c in order that real Sc
curity will be afforded the street car
rider instead of fancied security. The
marked zones have been demonstrated
over q period of years to be failures.
The sooner the change is made the
sooner will the lives of Washingtonians
be really protected.

Peace and Turmoil in China

Renewal OF the armistice conference
at Shanghai, interrupted by the refusal
Of Gen. Chang Kuang-nai to sit as
Chinese representative because of the
lower rank of Gen. Uyeda of Japan.
has been effected with the substitution
of Gen. TIA Chi as China's delegate.
Dispatches state that the Chinese pro-
posals, including the immediate r<stora-
ton OF Chinese civil administrative
authority over the entire area evacuated
By Japan, which Japan contends should
be conducted under neutral supervision
with Japanese observers, are likely to
make dificulty, while it is also feared
that recent movement of Chinese
troops toward Shanghai inside the
twenty k..ometer zone of safety may
cauce a counter movement OF Japanese
troops
These details, however. are likely TO
be adjusted, for it is now evident that
both sides want to secure the establish
ment Of peace. Some untoward Incl
dent may occur to delay the negotia-
tions, but unless there is a complete
change of heart on the part of either
China or Japan a formula of settle
ment is to be expected. The revival of
fighting in Manchuria imposes an obli-
CATION upon the Toxic government to
abandon the Shanghai adventure as
quickly as possible Likewise the in
creasing political turmoil in China,
which menaces the present regime,
makes it highly desirable to proceed
speedily toward an adjustment that will
sslease the large force now assembled
