patriotic duty to do it, and if
they don't do it. it's the farm

they do"
He was asked:
do you mean that the Farm.
erS' Holiday Association will un-
dertake to see that foreclosure
leniency suggested by the Presi-
dent is Observed?"
He replied:
81 certainly do. If anyone
attempts foreclosure now, we'll
stop them. Well stop them just
like we'd stop a man from bomb

holiday associations would cancel
their strike plans was not def

Reno expressed confidence that

BARGAIN
PROPOSAL To
ROOSEVELT
State Department Prepares
Trade Agreement Which
Congress May Get

President Roosevelt would be
empowered to slash tariff duties
so per cent in bargains" with
other countries under the latest
draft of the trade agreement reso-
luton prepared by State Depart
ment experts.
Congress Speaks
This draft has been sent to
the White House and, if it meets
with the Presidents approval, it
will be sent to Congress within
the next week or 10 days.
Although the resolution, in ef-
feet, calls upon Congress to dele
gate broad powers to the PreS1-
dent, it is worded so as to appear
that Congress is calling upon the
President to carry out its will
rather than his.
It is in the form of defini-
ton of policy by Congress with
that authorization of limited pow
er to the President to carry out
that policy.
Flat Cut Ignored
1t does not contain any refer
ence to a flat 10 per cent hori-
zontal reduction of tariffs by
multilateral agreement. This was
left out for several reasons.
First, because the power re-
quested will be sufficient to per-
nit such a reduction if the Presi-
dent considers it justifiable and
the other countries agree to
make equivalent concessions; and,
secondly, because the experts
feared the inclusion of two stipu-
lated percentages might cause
some confusion.

BEGINS
NRA DRIVE

The shock troops Of the NRA
campaign in Prince Georges
county, the administrative COM
mittee, began today the actual
campaign to enlist countrywide
support by individually talking to
each business man.
The actual signing Of codes will
begin next week as members Of
the steering committee. under the
leadership of Brice Bowie, of
Upper Marlboro, follow up the
first committee.
The campaign was set at an
inspirational mass meeting last
night in Hyattsville at which
Miss Lavinia Engle, Montgomery
county delegate to the Maryland
legislature, compared the present
campaign with that which aroused
patriotic spirit during the great
slwar.
The separate codes as they
would affect Prince Georges
business men were explained by
C. e. Hammill, Of the Balti-
more Chamber Of Commerce and
member of the State NRA speak
ing committee.
Business men are not expected
to undergo any severe hardship
to live up to their code, he
said, and cautioned buyers from
forming judgment too early on
whether their dealers are work
ing under a code.
Over $50 persons attended the
: meeting held in the Hyattsville
Masonic Hall, the first meeting
of the campaign since an organ
ization meeting two weeks ago
at which H. Winship Wheatley,
jr., of Hyattsville, was named
county chairman.

Colonel George stepped up and
shook hands with Smith. Other
officers. as soon as the formation
was broken, advanced to wish him

Mrs. Smith stood in the grand
stand, alone, and was on the
verge of tears as the order was
read. BY the time her husband
finished on the field she had
regained her composure and was
greeted by Colonel George and
Major Patton and the other Off
GERS.
Sergeant Smith has paid for a
home on the edge of the reserva-
tion and he expects to stay there.
He did say something about 60
ing to California and Florida,
but the betting odds were about
five to one that he would stay
close to the post.

Senator Denies Alliance With
Either Governor or Mayor
In GubernatoriaI Fight

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-Politi-
cal undercurrent in Maryland in
which Senator Millard TydingS
was accused Of allying with
Mayor Jackson, Of Baltimore, in
an attempt to grab off Federal
patronage was disrupted last
night when the Senator brought
the matter into the open with a
flat denial Of any such claim. He
said:
"The report was inspired with
the idea of forcing my support
Of a certain leaders recOmmen-
dations. 1 do not propose to be
driven and such tactics will not
assist the individual in question
in the slightest degree"
Some reports had the Senator
supporting Mayor Jackson for the
governorship in opposition to Gov.
Albert C. Ritchie, long a close
political and personal friend of
the Senator, and others purported
to indicate that Tydings was pre-
pairing the way to the State house
in Annapolis for himself.
The Senator asserted he was
not any more tied to the gov
ernor than to Mayor Jackson
either in the matter of Federal
patronage or in connection with
the gubernatorial race.
He added that unethical prac-
tices Of some leaders in the State
in the matter of recommenda.
tions of persons for Federal ap-
pointments have made his posi-.
tion difficult, explaining that in
one case one leader indorsed 13
men for a certain job.

TYPHOID FEVER
IS MENACE IN
FLOOD AREA
Water in Prince Georges Re-
gion Contaminated, Health
Officer Declares

Fearing an outbreak of typhoid
fever in the home areas inundated
by the recent flood in Prince
Georges county, health officials
today completed a survey of the
section in an effort to stamp out
any sign of the dreaded disease.
DR.. A. E. Hooton. chief of the
country's health office. said that
the condition of drinking water
from springs in certain sections
of Bladensburg, Edmonston and
North Brentwood, was such that it
was likely to be infested with the
typhoid germs.
Sewage in Wells
DR.. Hooton said that the flood
swamped the clear water springs
and wells and filled them up with
sewage.
He issued a warning to all resi-
dents of the affected section to
boil drinking water.
DR.. Hooton said:
"SOme of the residents are
using the water without treat
ment, and I fear an outbreak Of
typhoid fever might result"
One person out of ten is a COM
mon carrier of the fever, DR.. Hoo
ton declared.
Worst Near BIandenSburg
The worst condition exists in
the colored settlement section Of
Bladensburg, DR.. Hooton said.
The flood waters there reached
a depth Of 10 feet.
H. F. Schaffer, engineer Of the
Maryland State Department of
Health, accompanied DR.. Hooton
on his survey of the affected ter.
ritory.
AS an emergency measure to
check any possible spread of the
fever DR.. Hooton announced that
he will hold vaccine clinic Tues
day at 1870 p. m. in the Hyatts-
vile library.

CONTINUED from Local PGRe)
erty in opposing the plan. Mr.
Dougherty said:
Congress tried a One-man
form of givernment for the
District first in 1918 as a
temporary measure. 1t failed
utterly and in 1874 the present
form was adopted as a tempo
rary measure.
"ItS success was indicated
by the fact that in 1878 it was
made a permanent form of
government and has so re-
mained ever since. 1t has al
ways been a clean, efficient
form of government and powers
and responsibilities of the Com
misSionerS should be further
centraIized-for instance, by
transferring parks and play
grounds. supported by District
funds. to their cOntral."
j. Thilman Hendrick, who
served on the board with Miss
Mabel Boardman and Col. Charles
Kutz, thinks that no change
should be made without assur-
ance that the substitute would be
a positive improvement. Hen
drick'S statement was:

the matter but Off-hand 1
say that during my term as
Commissioner 1 had associated
with me two very efficient
members and our administra-
tiOn was a successful one.

From my experience / am
led to believe that the District
has the best form of govern
ment that could be had"
Only the most careful conSid-
Grafton should precede a change
in our present governmental sys-
tenn, said Sidney L. Taliaferro, a
of the last Board of
Commissioners, who believes:
"The commission form of
government for the District of
Columbia has stood the test of
more than so years. 1t has
always been a clean govern.
ment, free from graft.
"The law provides that Com
missioners shall be local resi-
dents, and this gives the citi-
Zens a meager measure of rep
resentative government. In my
opinion, no hasty chang should
be made.
eff, after a thorough study
and an opportunity for express
sion of views by the citizens a
better plan can be devised, then
and only then should a new
form of government be set up"

FOR BIG POOLS
SURVEYED
Construction Likely to Start
Soon, With Fund From
Public Works Unit

- The Navy is planning to con-
i struct near Washington several
OF the most completely equipped
experimental model basins in the
wo: i.
The pools, really miniature
lakes where scale models of both
commercial and wartime ships,
can be tried out under natural
conditions, will replace the anti
: quated basin at the Washington
Navy Yard.
Survey Made
Surveyors today are going over
q site near Cabin John, Md, not
yet purchased, but which was
recommended two years ago by
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
It is believed construction will
begin with funds allotted by the
Public Work Administration. The
basin at the local yard is already
overworked and since the Navy's
new cruisers will embody many
novel designs it is expected de.
APARTMENT officials will not wait for
Q congressional appropriation.
/, Observers point out that Secre-
tary of Navy Adams strongly
urged construction of three new
basins at the Cabin John site in
his annual report for the fiscal
year 1892.
Urged IN 1892
In his report Adams stressed
growing need for a high speed
basin, a "maneuvering" basin, and
a normal speed basin with mod
ernized features. In 1882, he said,
tests jumped from 488 to 704 in
'Fohe year.
It was necessary, even before
the Navy launched its mammoth
building program, to increase
working hours from 7 to 10l2
daily by working two shifts. The
present basin is held inadequate
because it is only 80 feet long and
but one test may be m tde upon
its surface at a time.
