bill. In view Of the fact that the
committees most carefully consider
each item carried in these bills, and
of the further fact that the measures
are read very deliberately, paragraph
by paragraph, before they are passed.
it seems rather strange admission
on the part Of Congress. 1t confesses
the need for further economies, but
confesses at the same time lack of
knowledge where those cuts are to be
applied, and leaves that to admin
strative officials to determine. OBJ
viouSly it would work serious hard
ships on many vital agencies of gov
eminent.
In both the House and. Senate, there
have been recent flare-ups over the
wage and salary reduction argument.
The Senate did take the position that
this was no time to take any action
in reducing wages and salaries still
further, but that the government
should encourage higher wages and
prices as spur to the increased pur-
chasing power that is being sought
through other legislation. The House
reflected the same thought when it
considered proposals for added reduc-
tions in salaries of members and en-
ployes of the legislative branch.
These are all preliminary, however,
to projection of the entire subject in
to the special session. Claude Bow
ers, writing recently in the Hearst
papers, aptly said that this approach
ing special session is destined to be
zone of the most important sessions
in the nations history" 1t is pretty
much with that feeling that reelected
members are awaiting the advent of
the large number of new members.
and awaiting their thought and action
on the bills which it is known will
have first consideration.
But the present session will shortly
assert itself upon one important ques-
ton, that of the effect of the depreci-
ated currencies of foreign nations
upon imports which enter into COM
petition with the products of our
domestic industries. This subject has
been brought to the front largely be-
cause of the desperate situation con-
fronting the wood. pulp industry and
the salmon and certain others of the
fisheries industries. But, because ex-
perts have felt that such step, while
admittedly needed by the specified in
dustries, nevertheless would have
consequences so far-reaching and
ruinous that they counselled against
it, they have withheld their support
of the plan to increase the existing
tariff rates to offset the advantage it
is claimed foreign nations now have
in importing their goods. The Treas
ury and the Tariff Commission have
both recommended a milder course,
and when the measure comes up Mon
day as the result of the discharge
petition, it will likely meet defeat for
that reason, as we'll as because Demo-
Gratis prefer to leave this subject to
be dealt with when the entire tariff
program comes in for its scheduled
overhauling.

In the absence of the real re-

Miss Merrick, crippled by fan

Clearing; Cold
Sequel to
DeLuge

Clearing and colder weather
today has vanquished the storm
that ragged through Washington
last night, driving pedestrians
from the streets and halting a
session of the House on Capitol
Hill, as well as the broadcasts
over WJSV for 40 minutes.
Pelting rain and a bowling wind
that blew down many trees kept
off the streets almost everyone
who was not called out by urgent
business. Seven persons were in
jured in minor automobile acci-
dents due to the slippery streets.
Rainfall of OIL inches was
recorded. weather Bureau Of
ficialS said that if the weather
had been colder this would have
meant about seven inches Of
snow. The Potomac and Rock
Greek have risen.
The storm kept enough mem
bers of the House away from the
Capitol so that there was no
quorum. and adjournment >was
necessary. WJSV was off the
air 40 minutes through storm
damage to the power plant.

ROBBER B[AMES
PAL IN DEATH

A coroner's jury today held two
colored men responsible for the
murder early Sunday of William
Simms, 65-year-old colored watch
man for the Dickey Brothers
Seed Warehouse, Kenilworth and
Benning Roads.
One is George Mckinley Pit
mond, "a, of Baltimore, who
testified in his own defense, and
was held for the Grand Jury.
The other is Joe Goodman, alias
Joe Smith, who is still at large.
Simms was killed at the ware
house when the two men, accord
ing to the testimony at the in
quest, blew the warehouse safe.
According to Pitmond and other
witnesses, SimmS was struck on
the head with blunt instrument
and his hands and feet tied.
Pitmond told the jury that he
only aided in the robbery and
killing. He said Goodman insti-
gated the themt and also welded
the instrument that killed Simms.
Pitmond was arrested shortly
after the killing in a freight yard
near the warehouse. Search was
made in Baltimore for Goodman,
but it was found he had left his
last known residence there a few
hours before police arrived,

Sure on Both Sides

A new bill carrying deficiency
appropriations of approximately
100000, including $625,o00 for

tomorrow with a request for i'm
mediate action.
Announcement to this effect
was made today by Representa-
tive Joseph w. Byrns, Democratic
chairman of the House Appropri'
ations Committee, who said the
bill would pass so quickly in both
House and Senate that it would
be in the hands of President
Hoover on Saturday.
Chairman ByrnS said that al
items of the first deficiency bill,
killed Tuesday when the House
failed to override the Presidential
veto, would be included in the
new bill, except the $28,0O0,O0C
item Tor tax reIunQS. An ameuu'

Bright colored lights Illuminated
the colorful Chinese shops in
Washington's Chinatown today,
smiling almond-eyed occupants
passed out "Sake"-a native wine
and cigars to their callers and
a two-week celebration of the Chi

The year was the first cele-
brated by the Chinese in the new
Chinatown located in the vicinity
of Sixth. and H SITS. N. w., the
Federal building program having
forced them to leave their old
neighborhood on lower Pennsyl-
vania Avenue.
Height of the celebration will be
reached Sunday. Officers of the
On Leong Merchants Association
have invited many of their occi-
dental friends to a program Of
Chinese music and song at the as
sociation'S picturesque headquar-
ters in the 800 block of H st.
Since 1911 the Chinese have
adopted the Gregorian calendar.
Prior to that time the Chinese
calendar ha drum 1886 years from
the lao Hal dynasty. The mod
ern Chinese today proclaimed this
the year %, being the twenty
second year celebrated under the
Chinese republic. But even to-
day followers of the Confucius
doctrines went about from shop
to shop paying their debts to be-
gin the year in accordance with
the prophets teaching, "Owe no

Crusaders Ask Referendum on
Local Issue; Black Bill
Hearings End

Dinding up hearings on the
Black bill legalizing 80 per cent
beer in the District, Rufus s.
Lusk, national legislative officer
of the Crusaders, told the House
judiciary subcommittee today
that his organization Is perfectly
willing to test public opinion by
submitting the question to a
referendum.
LuSk declared:
"TweIve States including
Texas, had referendums on
prohibition last year. It is .
matter of record tina tall Of
them indicated overwhelmingly
that they were through with =
the noble experiment. We are
willing that the same definite
test Of public opinion be made
here"
Vote On 3 Questions
Lusk suggested that Congress
authorize a referendum for the
District to be held not later than
April /, on the following ques-
tions:
Shall the Sheppard bone-dry
act be repealed?
Pending repeal the Eighteenth
amendment shall the sale Of
beer be legalized in the District
Of Columbia?
Shall Congress adopt a mod
ern, reasonable system of liquor
control suitable for the District
of Columbia to become effective
if and when the Eighteenth
amendment is repealed?
In conclusion Lusk said:
81 challenge every prOfeS-
siOnal and volunteer dry in this
audience, in this city, indeed in
the United States, to accept this
proposition. If not accepted il
is an admission ON their, part
that they know public sentiment

posed to prohibition or else they
must admit that they are un-
