IRKED BY FAKE CRIES OF 'WUXTREE.'
ANNAPOLIS PUTS CURB ON NEWSIES

Some residents said the call of the
"Wuxtree" had lured them often from
their warm firesides into the cold
streets; that, at the risk of pneumonia
they had purchased the "Wuxtree' onIv
to find it contained no news of trans
cendental import. This they said had
tendency to make them wrathy.
Others complained that the newsies
should be compelled to shout their
ware in English"-a complaint that
will come as severe shock to newsies
many Of whom are very vain about their
articulatory ability.
Both the complaining citizenrv and
the City Council made it clear that the
legitimate extra" editions. such as are
published by the home town newspa-
pers. are welcome. The Annapolis com
plant was made against sellers of un-
named 'out-of-town" papers. whose
cries aroused the public to a high state
of enthusiasm which, after the paper
had been frantically perused, fell with a
sickening thud.

NEW YORK, March 15-The stock

as recent liquidation dried up, and
sentiment improved.
The market appeared to have re-
covered from the shock of the deaths
OF two internationally famous capital

A little irregularity cropped out soon
after the opening, but the list generally
flrmed in the second hour. Eastman,
after sagging a point, recovered its loss
and sold nearly 2 points above yester-
days close. Kreuger and Toll, so
heavily sold yesterday, rallied fraction
ally, and International Match preferred
gained more than a point.
Among shares gaining a point or so
were Allied Chemical, Drug, Southern

Votes, 23 to 8, for Public

The District Committee on Employ

Commissioners ito ask Congress for
an appropriation for public work for
the purpose of relieving unemployment
in the District Of Columbia" The vote
followed an acrimonious debate of sew

The meeting was called to discuss the

funds, which have been supplied by the
Community Chest. The committee
faces the necessity of closing down
April /, or operating on a greatly re-
duced scale to May l with the help Of
any extra money it might get.
A decision was made to continue op-
Grating through April and the Execu-
tive Committee was authorized to seek
additional funds, although no source

were to come. The original motion
suggested that the Community Chest be
asked for additional funds. When FL
wood Street director of the Community
Chest who was present, was asked if
the Chest would furnish the money. he
declined to answer, saying that it must
be passed on by the Executive Com
mittee.
The question of asking for an appro-
prtation was first raised by Leifur Mag
nusson, director of the International
Labor Office. He pointed out that the
question of furnishing relief for the
unemployed was a question of finding
capital and that what Immediately
confronted the committee was where to
find the capital.
Wants Direct Relief.
The committee had before it a re-
port by subcommittee, suggesting an
appeal to the Community Chest for a
small additional sum. Father O'Grady
opposed any second appeal to the Chest,
and favored direct public relief, which,
he said, was available in every city OF
the country except in Washington.
Chairman E. c. Graham of the COM
mittee pointed out that If an appeal
were made to Congress for relief funds,
the appeal properly should come from
some organization dealing with family
relief, and not from the Employment

NEW YORK, March l5.-The Wux-
tree-you know: "Wuxtree! Wuxtree!"
found itself today in a bit of jam.
At Annapolis, Md, the City Council
announced itself last night as sick and
tired of having irresponsible newsies
shattering the calm of the night with
their uncultured baritones bawling
"wuxtree!" when there really was no
wuxtree at ALL
At Dover and Dennison, both in Ohio,
similar public repugnance for such
street hawking has been manifested.
The indignation at Annapolis crys-
tallized to the point where the council
decided that from now on no extra"
edition OF a newspaper can be hawked
until the police have passed upon 1t.
II the police feel, after scanning head
lines and text. that the news is of
extra" merit, the paper may be shouted
in the streets. Otherwise, no.
Annapolis citizens complained that
newsies have made the nights hideous
by yelling In foreign languages" They
further pointed out that the yells,
though unintelligible, were vibrant with
excitement, indicating that the hawker
was offering for sale news of the very
first magnitude. ~

HOME MINISTER QUITS
JAPANESE CABINET
Nakahashi's Resignation Believed
Move to Strengthen Defense

TOXIC, March 15.-Tokugoro Naka-
hashi, home minister in the cabinet Of
Premier Inukai, resigned late today.
Nakahashis resignation followed q
conference with Premier Inukai. OBJ
servers saw in the move an attempt to
strengthen the cabinets defenses n
preparation for expected attacks of the
opposition in the special session of the
Parliament which opens March 18.
The home minister, as head of the
police, was severely criticized because he
continued in office after the explosion
of bomb near the carriage of EN-
peror Hirohito January g. According
to the orthodox Japanese procedure in
such cases he would have taken respon-
sibility for the incident and handed in
his resignation.
He is expected to be succeeded by
Kisaburo Suzuki, minister of justice.

ReSubmisSion of 18th Amend
ment Seen as "a Way
Out" for Party.
SENTIMENT HAS GROWN
FOR PLATFORM PROPOSAL
Drys, However, Confident They Can
Defeat Such Plan in Con-
vention Showdown.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The large vote cast yesterday by Re-
publican members Of the House in ia
vor of resubmission of the eighteenth
amendment has added zest to the drive
made by many of the most prominent
leaders of the c. o. P. for a resub-
mission plank in the party's national
platform this year.
OF the 214 Republican members of
the House, 81 voted for resubmission
and 112 voted against it, with paired
and 2 unaccounted for. The vote in
the House showed 81 more Republicans
voting for resubmission than signed
the petition which brought the vote in
the House yesterday Some of these
Republicans have been dry and con-
tinue to be dry, personally and po-
litically. How the dry organizations of
the country will consider them, how
ever, in the light of the vote, taken yes
terday remains to be seen. II the dry
organizations line up against them as
backsliders, on the other hand the wet
organizations may give them support
In the coming primaries and elections.
The wet and dry question cuts SO
squarely across the G. o. P. party lines
today that the wisest political fore
caster would have difficulty determin-
ing whether the Republican party
would lose or gain more by taking a
wet stand.
Seen as "A Way Out"
A resubmission plank, promising the
G. o. P. to stand fol. the resubmission
of the eighteenth amendment in some
form either specified in the plank or
left to be determined by Congress, looks
to many of the Republican leaders like
"a way out" Already many suggested
forms for such plank have been pro-
posed.
Discussion Of the plan for a resub-
mission plank for the Republican plat
form engaged the attention of members
OF the Committee on ARRANGEMENTS for
the Republican National Committee.
who met here yesterday, although it did
not come before the meeting of the
committee. It is the Resolutions Com
mittee OF the national convention, which
will be picked when the convention
meets in Chicago June IA, that will
have before it the prohibition issue as
1t affects the party platform.
The demand for a resubmission or
referendum plank in the party plat
form has grown apace since former Sen
ator Wadsworth of New York wrote
some months ago to Senator Simeon D.
FeSs OF Ohio, chairman Of the Repub-
lican National Committee, urging that
