mand from Melvin C. Hazen
president of the Board of District
Commissioners, as a result of an
alteration between Lewis and
M. E. Cameron, secretary to

ginia.
Cameron and Lewis became
engaged in an argument when
the policeman went to Senator
Byrd's office to ask for a recon-.
mendation for promotion to a
sergeantcy in the Police Depart
ment.
Lewis, a native of the same
Virginia town as Cameron, is
said to have accused the secre.
tary of "high-hatting" him and
a quarrel ensued.
Hazen warned Lewis against
getting into alterations and con.
demned his action in seeking
pull to obtain a promotion.

NEEDY PUPILS
To De FED

Underfed children in the Dis
trict public schools are not going
to be forgotten.
At a meeting today at the
Franklin building, District public
school headquarters, DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent of pub
lie schools, assembled all school
officials and principals to discuss
the question of providing lunches
for underfed pupils.
DR.. Ballou requested the school
heads to submit reports on the
extent to which junior and senior
high schools and teachers COL
leges furnished lunches to needy
pupils during last year; on the
number of pupils in need of hot
lunches; and on other factors.
DR.. Ballou asked that these re-
ports. from every school principal,
be submitted to his office tomor-
row.
1t is hoped that the schools
will get an appropriation from
Federal relief funds. If these
are not available, it is thought it
may be necessary to call upon
private charities or subscriptions.
Jobs may be given to the unem-
ployed to prepare the meals,
through the CWA.

cipal Of the Gage School, Ring said.
Entz's two children, Barbara, 8, and
David, Z. yesterday were barred from
entering the Gage School by q group
Of janitors stationed on guard. The
bar against the children was placed by
the school authorities after the District

said today the children were revacci-
mated last June 9.
A former mandamus suit against the
District school authorities was lost by
Entz when 1t developed during the hear
ing Of the case that iodine had been
applied to the vaccination wounds OF

BANKHEAD SEES.
1(CENT COTTON
Believes Farmers Will Be
Rewarded for Compliance
With Acreage Cut.
By the Associated Press.

8y the Associated Press.
An administration plan to advance
10 cents a pound on this years cotton
crop to farmers who will conform to
the 1884 acreage reduction program was
predicted today by Senator Bankhead
OF Alabama, after call at the White
House
After conferring with President
Roosevelt, Secretary Wallace and George
Bankhead expressed a definite belief
that "a plan will be worked out as
quickly as possible to advance 10 cents
pound on this years cotton crop to
farmers, In consideration Of an agree
ment by the farmer to conform with
the Federal acreage producti on program
for 1884"
The Administration has set a goal
Of reducing the 1884 cotton acresse
from 40,0o0,ooo to 25,000,0o0.
Confer With Financial Agencies.
Secretary Wallace and Peek left the
White House to confer with financial
agencies of the Government with the
obvious intent of putting the plan into
early operation
Senator Bankhead was the spokes-
man Of cotton representatives recently
gathered here and headed the delega-
tion which called on President Roose-
welt yesterday. urging that the Gov
ernment purchase half of this years
crop at IS cents pound.
The Alabaman read his statement to
newspaper men from notes he had
scribbled on piece of paper.
Il have no authority to speak for the
Administration, he said. "and this
statement is to be considered as my
personal impression from the confer
ence with the President attended by
Secretary Wallace, Mr.. Peek and
Bankhead said the subject Of cur
rency imitation had not come up.
Favors Lower Price.
The cotton belt States proposed the
Government purchase half Of this years
100000 bales-at Is cents a pound,
with the understanding that for every
bale purchased by the Government the
producers will cut next years crop that
much.
To all appearances, the President is
looking favorably on the proposal to lift
cotton prices, but there is reason to
believe he favors lower price for the
Government purchases, nearer IL cents
o pound.
Meanwhile, new hearing on pro-
pOSdlS W levy COMPENSATORY pIOCcooA1S

tion with cotton was called for october

which since August l has borne q

At previous hearing data respecting
