Be Permitted to Cross
Span.

The old Calvert Street Bridge, re-
Gently shifted to its new location to
permit construction of a new span
over Rock Greek, will be opened to
vehicular and pedestrian trafic be-
ginning early tomorrow morning, it
was announced today by Capt. H. G..
whitehurst. director Of highways.
Street car travel over the bridge
was resumed after the bridge was
moved, but vehicular and pedestrian
traf1c was forced to await completion
of the side roadways, because Of the
carpenters strike. Roadways were
built of concrete slab at the bridge
heads and today guard rails and walks
for pedestrians were completed by
carpenters
Trucks, however, will not be al
lowed to operate over the bridge be-
cause of their weight. East-bound
passenger automobile traffic viii be
detoured at the east end of the bridge,
to the right on Twentieth street and
then into Biltmore street. West
bound traffic on Calvert street, near
the bridge, will use the left, or south,
side of the road to avoid street car
switches and plow pit.
Capt. Whitehurst emphasized that
vehicular traffic over the bridge win
be limited TO 10 miles per hour.

ACTION PROMISED
ON D. c. INQUIRY
Senate Subcommittee Soon
to Tackle Reorganiza-
ton Survey.

A preliminary meeting to map the
scope of the forthcoming reorganiza-
ton study of the District government
probably will be held at an early date
by the Senate Subcommittee ap-
pointed a few days ago. Senator Gore,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, chairman,
indicated today.
The Senator said he has always
had the general impression that
Washington is one of the best gov
erned cities in the country and he
has no ideas concerning changes that
should be considered.
The success of any form of NUM-
cipal government, he declared, depends
to a large extent on the attitude of
the people of community toward it.
He said he thought any system wHld
work If the people take an active
and lively interest in it.
The subcommittee is not likely to
get down to an intensive study of
District problems until Fall, but Sen
ator Gore indicated the preliminary
meeting may result In assigning diff
ferent phases of the work to indi-
vidual members of the subcommittee
The other members are Senators
Cou7ens, Republican, Of Michigan,
and Reynolds, Democrat, of North
Carolina.
Senator Gore also will confer soon
with Chairman King Of the Senate
District Committee and with District
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan and
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
to get the background of preliminary
work already done by Donovan and
Roberts in gathering detailed infor-
nation on the existing local Govern
ment.

NEW LAWS ALTER
CURRENCY SYSTEM
Far-Reaching Measures of
Congress Put Credit DOL
lars to Work.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Striking alterations stood out today
in the Nations currency and credit
system, wrought by the Congress,
which adjourned last night.
President Roosevelt was authorized
to take over all gold In the land and
make the dollar worth only 50 cents.
He was directed to buy silver and
issue currency on it until one quarter
of all the mental monetary stock Is
backed by silver.
A strenuous effort was made to
loosen credit strings drawn tight by
depression. Principal and interest Of
farm and home mortgage bonds were
guaranteed. Direct loans to industry
were authorized.
Home Improvement Assured.
Only the Presidents assured sigma
ture Of the housing bill was needed
to set in motion a drive to rehabilitate
homes throughout the Nation, with
partial Government guarantee Of
necessary loans.
As a result of the gold legislation,
the Federal Government now holds
title to all the Nations gold. Revalu-
alton Of the dollar brought the Gov
ernment a profit Of $2,700, 900 900,
none of which went to the financial
institutions which had owned the
gold. In place of the metal, they got
currency.
Congress authorized about s2,0oo,-
600, 900 each in farm and home mort
gage bonds.
Money for Industries.
Tagging aid from private banks re.
suited in an act to let the r. F. c.
and Federal Reserve Banks, for the
first time in history. make direct
loans to needy industries.
Three hundred millions Of r. r. G.
funds were earmarked for that pur-
pose.
The housing bill promised around
s3,700,000 IN relief to home owners
in an effort TO stimulate the tagging
construction industries.
The housing measure also would do
something the Government never be-
fore had contemplated-set up q
Federal corporation with powers to
safeguard loans on home mortgages
against loss. 1t likewise would give to
building and loan associations sub
stantially the same form of deposit
guarantee that already had been ex-
tended to banks.
The bank deposit insurance plan
was not yet ready for full functioning,
so Congress postponed Inauguration
Of the permanent plan until July /,
1885.

Lubitsch sat there bowling with laugh

The sets for "The Merry Widow"

and they are swell-who do their best

for Katherine Hepburn, are having q
pretty good time with Chevalier as he
sits on their laps. They laugh and
ogle and sigh, and when the carriage
lands at its destination they hustle
him out like a meal sack.
Chevalier is very slim and very
hot in that Merry Widow" uniform

and lands right on his head. "Ow-

Y OLLYWOOD, June 19.-We
IL can understand now why
Samuel Goldwyn spent
l. L year teaching Anna Sten to
speak English. She has every
thing-plus
We shall never forget walking onto
the set of Resurrection" and seeing
Miss Sten in person for the first
time There she sits like a little
schoolgirl on a high stool just out
side of the range of the camera while
Freddie March does some scenes be-
fore her She is dressed in long,
white, full-skirted muslin dress. with
no jewels other than a little gold
cross which hangs from chain
around her neck Her hair, in two
long braids, is tied with small blue
band with bow on the side of her
head. Her eyes are blue. Her hair
is gold. Figure the result. Really,
we stood there and felt a little silly
inside. She looked like Geraldine
i Farrar used to when she was at her
best as Marguerite in Faust"
This, as we said yesterday. is Miss
Stems first 1884 interview. Lynn
Farnol has had to get it o. KID by
both Miss Sten and Director Ma
moulian. We are not certain, but we
think that Samuel Goldwyn and Ed
die Cantor, who are prowling around
there. must have checked on 1t, too.
At any rate, the set is small, the
| scene is not going very well, and for
the first time in Hollywood we are
genuinely scared.
After standing there for a minute
| watching Mr.. March walk in and out
of a room, the lights are dimmed
and Miss Sten jumps off that stool
and makes a bee-line for us. AS
, she comes over we wonder if she will
be high-hat and hard to get along
with. But as she says How do you
do?" and smiles that first smile we
know our troubles are over. Her voice
is low and attractive and her Eng
lish, while not perfect, has that
smooth diction which many an Amer
ican-born actress would do well to
emulate She doesn't say much. But
she doesn't have to. In second
the lights are bright again and she
runs back to her perch on that stool.
Will that be all? All, no. In an
other five minutes she is back again,
telling us what privilege it is to be
allowed to play in Resurrection"
and how glad she is to be able to
play with Freddie March.
