DAILY NEWS LETTER
By RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent

AO
 Paris-Aristide Briand has not yet been carried to the churchward on a hill overlooking Cocherel, but two bitter rivals are engaged in sctruggle for his mantle of great European"-Andre Tardieu, father of the Danubian economic union, and Edouard Herriot, ardent priest of Pacifism.
 Their battle will be waged up to the date of the coming French legislative elections, which are ex- pected to consecrate one or the other as Briand's heir.
 In his role as French delegate at Geneva during the disarma- ment conference, M. Tardieu used ubian union in the corridors. The French Uarliament looks upon 1t with favor and the press lauds it as a furthering of French prestige in Europe.
 France Made Friends.
 Immediately after the war, France made friends of Poland, Rumania, Yugoslavia and Czecho- slavakia. When prosperity came to France she did not forget her friends; loans were easy to get and eastern Europe could use money handily.
 Bulgaria had reason to borrow and become friend. Hungary and Austria visited Paris and went home with loans. The Danubian states had several bumper crops and did not know what to do with the surplus harvests.
 M. Briand called one European conference to decide what to do with surplus wheat of Hungary, Rumania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. Germany offered to trade machin- cry and clothing while France of- fered to finance the marketing. Nothing happened and the grain is still unsold.

MYSTERY WELLS
WIFE ATTACK
Times Staff Photo

Police are endeavoring to clear
up features of an assault todayaas
result of which Mrs. Anna
Nicholas, 20, of the 800 block of
Ninth st. N. W., is at Emergency
Hospital with severe wound in
the head.
A telephone message to police
headquarters brought police to the
scene, third-floor apartment oc-
cupied by the Nicholas family.
The woman's husband, George
Nicholas, 38, a clothing salesman,
was taken to headquarters for
questioning.
Nicholas said he was in the
kitchen when he heard sounds of
a struggle from the front room
and that he ran there in time to
see a man rushing down the stairs.
He told police he did not attempt
to stop the man but continued
to the front of the apartment to
see if his wife had been injured.
Mrs. Nicholas said that a man
had attacked her with a black
jack or something of the sort,
and that her husband had grap-
pied with the man, who escaped.
Employees of a nearby barber
shop told the police that a Gus
toner told of having seen a man
going along Ninth Street covered
with blood at about the time of
the assault.

DEGREES
TINTED NAILS

The feminine makeup this
winter is to be a riot of color,
according to delegates attending
the annual convention of the
International Beauty and Barber
Supply Association. held this
week at Wardman Park Hotel.
Not only will my lady's ward
robe reflect the popular trend
but her nail polish and her eye
shadows will match her costume.
Authority Gives LOwdOwn
According to Miss Gail Aron-
ton, associate editor of Beauty
Culture Magazine and a delegate
to the convention, green and
purple will be the popular shades
for the eyes. Brown too, will
have its vogue but only for wear
in the daytime.
Says Miss Aronto:
Brown is lovely with the
sport costume or afternoon
frOck but too funeral for the
evening. The eyes should be
frightened with a gay little
touch of green, applied close
to the edge of the eyelid. Or
purple if you prefer that color"
Other Orders for Color
Tinted nails, colored to match
the gown or bit of costume
jewelry, have been popular abroad
for several years but will make
their appearance in this country
for the first time this winter.
The popular shades will be blue,
amethyst and yellow.
And, according to Miss Aron-
ton, the smart woman must not
forget that "pedicure' (mani-
cure for the toe nails) is essen
tial if her toilet is to be 100
per cent in the mode, the toe
nails color matching that of the
finger nails.

PENSIONS PAID.
222 WIDOWS
Of POLICE
Fire-PoIiCe Fund in 1882
Shows Figure Has Doubled
In Last 8 Years in D. C.

In the last eight years,
police and fire department
pensions have almost doubled,
a check Of figures in the office
of Major Daniel A. Donovan,
District auditor, revealed to-
day.
During the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1882, a total of $841,718
was paid to pensioners. In the
fiscal year ending June 30. 1925,
the sum expended was S480.529.
Figures in between years show
ing the steady steps of increase
follow:
1926, $527,873; 1927, $566.468;
1923. $578551; 1929, $613,767;
1890, $639,193; 1881, $7i8,993.
222 Widows on List
Other figures in Major Dono-
vans office SOW that in Decem-
ber, 1881, there were in all 864
pensioners on the list, of whom
565 were listed through the
police and 299 through the fire
department.
These figures further divided,
show 284 retired policemen were
receiving pensions, whilc 222
widows. So children under 16 and
one mother of a policeman were
on the list.
The fire department pensioners
we're divided as follows: Retired.
179: widows, 90; children under
16, %; mother. l.
Major Donovan said that last
year more than 10 per cent of the
$841,718 pension items had come
out of the general funds of the
District of Columbia.
The remainder, approximately
100000, came from the 3l2 per
cent of monthly salary paid into
the retirement fund and miscel-
laneous items, such as proceeds
from the sale of stolen property,
bonds imposed for breaking regu-
lations, and bequests.
A Bill of S5,OOO.OOO
The total personnel of the police
department is 1890, of whom 1,172
are privates, and the total amount
appropriated for salaries during
the current fiscal year is $3,092,-
964. There are 886 firemen on the
payroll, of whom 7O3 are privates,
and the salaries appropriated are
$2.165,100.
Under the retirement act as
amended September l, 1916, police
and fire department officers
when retired receive one-half Of
the salary they are drawing at the
time of retirement, while privates
also receive one-half of their
salary with the limit set at half
of $2,4OO,

7 A X ASSESSOR
HAS STATISTICS
To PROVE It
Development of Residential
Areas and Restrictions
on Buildings Cited

The population of the Dis
trict will never reach a mil
lion persons.
Fortified with statistics and theo
ries, Tax Assessor William P. Rich
ards made this prediction today.
The natural expansion of business
districts with the development Of
residential areas, the restrictions
on the heights of buildings, de-
velopment of future park areas,
the popular opposition to density
all these things in the opinion
of Assessor Richards will prevent
the District from reaching the
million mark.
Double in 40 Years
At present, the assessor stated,
the District has over 100000 resi-
dents and has doubled its popu-
lation in 40 years, growth paral-
lei to the national growth. He
said:
But at the beginning in
1900, the District doubled its
population In ten years, then
in 20 years, then in Is years.
Naturally during the Civil War
years no fair measure of
growth can be presented but
after Governor Shepherds time,
the population received a great
boost,
"If the process of doubling
could be maintained even tor
longer periods than those men,
toned, we should have within
the lifetime of our young
people a city of one million
populations. IN
But the growth Of Previous
years was within fixed bound
ary and we know that the city
expansion is now beyond that
boundary with vacant spaces
within the District contracting
less in area from year to year"
FeCu1ar DcCuHe
The old city limits of 10 square
miles, the assessor stated, has
dropped in population from 275,-
900 in 1910 to 100000 in 1880.
Expansion of business districts,
he said, was the principal cause
for this. Because of the building
height restrictions, it is likely
that the density of population
will not far outstrip present con-
ditions. He concluded:
"The prediction is risked that
the District will never reach
the million mark as to persons
constantly residing in it. The
million or excess of a million
will be found scattered over a
territory including the District
and adjacent areas of Mary
land and Virginia. Around and
beyond these adjacent areas
the population will continue to
grow and We may expect in
the near future one million per-
sons in the metropolitan area,
but not within the District
proper"

President Poses for Photo
With Group to Help Hold
CoIored Vote in Line

President Hoover conferred
with delegation Of 400 negro
leaders at the White House to-
day and posed for a photo
graph with them.
Alarmed at reports of wholesale
desertions of negroes to the Demo
cratic presidential ticket, Republi-
can leaders are said to have ar
ranged the conference in an at
tempt to rally the colored vote.
Arranged by G. o. P.
Ray Benjamin, the Presidents
friend, who has been working at
Republican headquarters in Chi
cago, and Everett Sanders, chair
man of the Republican National
Committee, are reported to have
made the arrangements. John r.
Hawkins, chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements for the
negro conference, is said to have
collaborated with them.
Following the conference with
the President, the group was
entertained at the Club Prudhom
by the Republican National Com
mittee.
Race Feels Sighted
The reported negro revolt is
said to have been brought about
because of a number of fancied or
real Sights which they charge the
Republican party has heaped upon
the race.
Efforts to oust the negroes from
party control in the South and re-
fusal to grant them patronage in
many instances are said to be
among the chief complaints. 1t is
also said that Hoover has declined
to pose with negro groups, al
though constantly accepting invi-
tations to pose with white groups.

John H. Curry, colored, of Fair

and perhaps a whole lot freer be-

no mention of wine.
Curry was arrested after a raid
on his home. When the case
came to trial in Upper Marlboro
yesterday, an analysis showed
that the fluid seized was wine.
Beer, gin, whisky, or any other al
coholic beverage would have been
illegal.
