BIG EASTER CROWD
Reservations at Hotel Ex-
ceed Past Years-SpeciaI
Services Planned.

Washington will be host over the
week end to what was estimated today
as one of the largest crowds of Easter
visitors in history.
Augustus Gumpert, secretary of the
Washington Hotel Association and the
Greater National Capital Committee of
the Washington Board of Trade, esti-
mated that the Easter crowd will ex-
ceed $4,000. He based his estimate on
check of railroads, bus companies
and hotels, all of which reported a
heavy movement of visitors to the
Capital for the week end, with the
hotels expected to be filled to capacity
by tomorrow.
Hotels reported that there are not
so many school and other groups in
the city as in former years, but the
number of individual reservations is
the largest in the history of the city
for like occasion, and they will more
than make up for the absence of the
pilgrimage groups.

in Congress at conference yesterday

One of the concerns felt by the ad-

work may be willing to adhere to agree

defeated by the other 10 or Is per cent

Administration leaders are aware that
governmental and private retrenchment

therefore, are determined to act
promptly to spread work where it is

At Yesterdays conference Senator
La Toilette advocated billion-d dollar

White House Says Treasury
Will Not Call Fourth Issue

Today is the day for calling the

Treasury evidently is not going to take
such action.
The fourth Liberties, aggregating
Sc, ,268, ,095, ,250, are callable on October
Is, but notice must be given six months
preceding that or any subsequent in
terest date. The White House said
yesterday the Treasury had no inten-
ton of acting today.
Financial circles had expressed hopes
the new administration would call at
least part of the bonds and announce a
substantial refunding operation for the
Fall.
Stay on Present Basis.
The passing today means that the
bonds will continue on the present Az
per cent interest basis indefinitely.
In addition to the fourth Liberties
there are outstanding $1,933,212,400 of

The Government had planned a re-

was laid aside.
Point to Low Money Rates.
Financial interests had pointed to
low money rates at this time as offer
