mined, the weekly states, by the
failure of the business indices to
maintain their extra seasonal
gains, by the unsettled war debt
problem and by the coming seS,

The weakness in sterling eX-

injured commodity prices and its

disturbing.

The brightest spots in the pic

The great flour centers report
mills operating at so to 60 per

terials and hardware are below a
year ago and still declining. In
creased inquiries in the wool mar
ket have produced few orders.
The collapse in the price of
wheat, oats, corn, silver and cop
per to all-time low levels, the
magazine says, reflects directly
the diminished purchasing power
of Great Britain and all her
currency tributaries whose ability
to buy our products is similarly
affected.

LONGER SEASON
To HUNT SEEN
CRAWFORD

Because of the mild winter and
the saving of many waterfowl
through shortening of the last
hunting season by one month on
the Presidents order, the Nations
supply of ducks may be increased
by next season to such extent
that the hunting period may be
extended.
This is the summary of a
report made public by the
Biological Survey, which said the
bird shortage had been most
noticeable among the canvas
backs, redheads, and lesser
scaups, which breed largely in
northwestern sections, hit worst
by the drought.
The survey added:
"There is reason to believe
that the emergency regulations
which shortened the 1881 hunt
ing period were generally
respected by American gunnerS.
This restraint, combined with
the mild season, tending to re-
tard southwark migratiOnS and
offering little hunting weather,
has effected a considerable
saving of ducks which will be
able to return to the nesting
grounds in the spring."

Times Staff Photo

Installation of temporary street
lamps over Arlington Memorial
Bridge has been completed and
the structure is now ready to be
opened permanently, Lieut.. Col.
U. S. Grant, executive officer Of
the Arlington Memorial Bridge
Commission, said today.
Because motorists have no
place to go after crossing the
bridge, except on Saturday after
moons and Sundays when the
Mt. Vernon Boulevard is open,
the bridge will not be opened
week days until the temporary
road connecting the south end
of the bridge with Arlington
Cemetery has been completed.
Bids for construction of the
temporary highway were opened
Saturday by Major D. H. Gillette,
bridge engineer. The road con-
struction project will require
about 20 working days for COM
pletion, Colonel Grant estimated.
Nine bids were submitted.

INDICTMENTS
Judge Moss Has Already De-

Bribery Cases

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 24.-Cir-
cult Court Judge Robert Moss
is to rule today on pleas by
defense attorneys to have in
dictments against eleven Anne
Arundel county policemen
charged with bribery thrown
out by demurrers and abate-
mentS.
Judge Moss has already decided
against two cases in which de-
murrers maintained that deputy
sheriff is not an executive and
therefore does not come under
the statute dealing with bribery.
He is to rule today on a plea
for abatement which contends
that the grand jury which in
dicted Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Cullember had received some teS-
timony improperly.
The defense objected to reading
to the grand jury of testimony
offered in court by Morris Legum.
Such action, they alleged, preju-
diced the defendants rights. The
defense also objected to the pres
ence of stenographer in the
grand jury room while the vote
was being taken.

Federation of Labor, has re-
peated his previous invitation
for the various local unions of
the National Federation of
Federal Employees to send dele
gates to the council meetings.
After the National Federation

locals except No. 105, the
women's local of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing of which

1900 ASK JOBS
At MISSION

A remarkable demonstration
showing that people want to work,
if given the opportunity, was
staged today at 812 Fits st. N.
W., when $500 men and one
woman registered for jobs.
The registration was conducted
by the Gospel Mission, which
within a few days will start work
on the construction of four-story
brick building on the site.
Many men stood in line for
several hours, shivering in the
cold, but all were good natured,
and caused First precinct police
little trouble. Several of the men
brought oil stoves with them,
while others built fires of paper
and other rubbish on the lot.
The group was a motley assem-
bly,, well-dreSSed men mingllng
with others in tattered clothes.
Every one gave his name at a
window on Fifth Street and was
given a QUESTIONABLE to fill out
and send back by mail. The
QUESTIONABLE covers the family
and religious life of each appli-
cant. the trade of each and the
wages which will be accepted.

tendent of the mission, and Col.

architect of the proposed build
ing, we're in charge of the regis
