Mercury Believed Headed to

Apparently bent on eclipsing yester-

mercury today seemed headed for new

Long before noon today the ther-
mometer registered 81, about five de-
grees above the reading at the same

Continued fair and warm weather
was predicted by the Weather Bureau
for tonight and tomorrow morning,
with probable thunder showers late
tomorrow afternoon or night. The
rains will bring cooler weather on
Wednesday.
Washingtonians were driven to the
country, the parks and nearby
beaches yesterday to seek relief from
the years hottest day.
The Sunday heat sufficed to start a
land office business on the city's pic

beaches open for business nearby.
Linens and straws suddenly became
the clothes motif in the city, and
Summer sportsmen emerged from

Possibly because Of low humidity
accompanying the heat, there was a
noticeable absence Of heat prostra-

heat in another way, however, was

BORAH ASKSCURB
ON ARMS TRAFFIC
Senator Says Geneva En-.
barge Treaty Should Be
Made StriCter.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
In scathing denunciation of
munition makers, Senator Borah
called for a strict curb today on the
international traffic in materials of
war
Even more drastic legislation is
needed, the Republican Independent
said, than the Geneva arms embargo
treaty that President Roosevelt has
asked the Senate to ratify.
THE arms treaty now before the
Senate is of very little WORTH" the
Idaho Senator said last night in an
interview. "Munition manufacturers
saw to it that 1t was of very little
worth"
Asserting that the Gran Chaco war
between Bolivia and Paraguay and
the arms treaty require immediate
consideration" he said:
They remind us again that the
manufacture and sale of munitions is
perhaps the worlds greatest menace
to peace.
"The armament manufacturers
make their 20 to 80 per cent profit
while honest and decent business Is
struggling with bankruptcy, and
schools and colleges are closed for
want of money. This is the real
problem, and perhaps the Chaco war
may help us to grapple with it-and
perhaps not"

new RACING RULES
FAVOR u. S. PLANES
British Officials Make Conces-
sions in England-to- Australia
Event.

Several important concessions by
British officials in charge of regula-
tions for the MacRobertson England
to-Australia $4,000 race next Fall
were announced here today by the
National Aeronautic Association. These
concessions are intended to raise in
part the barriers which would have
prevented entry of special American
racing planes and some of this coun-
try's most noted racing pilots.
Under the amended rules the con-
troversial certificates of airworthineSS
for entering aircraft need not be filed
until seven days prior to the start
of the race, October 20. Former rules
required that complete entry details
must be in the hands of race OFF,
cials at London by June l.
In view of the little time left be-
tween the announcement Of the
amendment of regulations and June l
the British officials are allowing
American entrants a month of grace
in which to supply entry particulars,
though notification of entry must be
made before June /, by cable If neces-
sary.
The concessions, it was announced
by the association today, are believed
due to the recent N. A. A. activity
in protesting against rules which
would bar record-holding American
speed and distance planes.
The compromise agreement. 1t Is
believed. will eliminate entirely the
bar against American planes holding
only the Department of Commerce

Apparently President Roosevelt
is none too tOeH pleased ,oith the
fact that Mr.. Steagall is handling
three important administration
billS-houSing, loans to industry
and deposit insurance. In recent
priUdte conference at the Erecu-
the Mansion, SteagdHs loyalty to
the administration Das discussed.
That question arises because Mr.
Steagall and his alter ego, Mr.. Colds
borough, have more advanced ideas
on banking than Mr.. Roosevelt. For
instance, Messrs. Steagall and Colds
borough have been playing with the
idea of tackling the bank pay-off bill
or a more liberal deposit insurance
scheme on one of the administration
measures now in Mr.. Steagall's Gus
tody.
The White House heat Is being
privately applied in various ways to
keep Mr.. Steagall a simon-pure ad-
ministration man.
All of which bothers Mr.. Steagall
not at all.
Experts in bitter words seem to
agree that Darrow lost his long-worn
crown to Johnson this time. Darrow

HINES WINS VERDICT
IN HOTEL STOCK SUIT
Defunct Lincoln Hotel Corpora
ton Loses Effort to Collect
Assessment.

A directed verdict in favor Of Joseph
H. Hines, former Representative in
Congress and now local realtor, was
granted in District Supreme Court
today by Justice James M. Proctor in
a suit for more than 100000 brought
by Richard Harman. receiver for de-
funct Lincoln Hotel Corporation.
Hines allegediy purchased 1.4OO
shares of the corporation stock, hav-
ing a par value of $100, for $50, ,000
The receiver contended that Hines
was liable for the full par value of
the stock in an assessment levied by
him.
The former Representative, through
Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert and Ru-
dolph Yeatman, pointed out the corpo-
ration was in financial difficulties when
he bought the stock and contended the
purchase price was more than the
stock was worth at that time. The
directed verdict was granted when 1t
was brought out that the law Of Della
ware. home State of the corporation,
did not specify that assessments
should be on the full par value.

BA[LOU EXPLAINS
VIEWS ON REPORT
School Head Tells Why He
Did Not Sign Social
Studies Statement.

DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintend-
ent of schools, today issued a state
ment giving his reasons for not sign
ing the report on conclusions and rec
concentrations of the Commission on
the Investigation Of History and 9th
er Social Studies Of the American
Historical Association. DR.. Ballou was
a member of the commission.
"On the one hand, in my judg-
ment," he said, "the report is de-
structively critical of current educa-
tional practices which the commission
did not adequately investigate and
dispasSionately appraise; on the other
hand, the report does not present a
reasonable, definite. constructive pro-
gram for the improvement Of instruc-
ton in the social studies, which pro-
gram, in my judgment, should have
been the main feature Of the report.
The final volume on conclusions
and recommendations. in my judg-
ment. does serious injustice to the
scientific movement of education as
described in the chapter on TESTS
and Testing" This chapter is not
based on any thoroughgoing investi-
cation of testing in general or on any
conclusions reached in the discussions
of the commission. The vigorous pro-
tests made by me and some Of my
colleagues against the chapter have
been to a large extent ignored in the
final revision as published. Moreover,
the chapter itself is not based on con-
clusions and recommendations de-
Messrs. Krey and Kelley and sched-
uled to be published by the commits
sion.
In my judgment the destructive
criticism of the teacher and methods
of teaching and teacher training in
stitutions is bound to arouse antagon-
ism rather than to promote unity and
improvement in American education.
THE chapter on Selection and
Organization of Materials of Instruc-
ton is a disappointment. In my
judgment it should have been the
heart of the volume and should have
included vital statement in specific
terms outlining subject matter now
being taught and the changes and i'm
provements in subject matter which
the commission thinks should be
made. This the chapter does not do.
The discussion is so general that fire.
quently one cannot determine whether
the discussion has to do with ele-
mentary schools, the secondary
schools, or colleges and universities.
LAS a member of the commission
and superintendent of schools, it was
my hope that the final volume would
be the basis on which constructive
improvement of teaching the social
studies might be based. In my judg-
ment the report is inadequate In this
respect"

OHIO HELD LIABLE
FOR LIQUOR TAXES
Supreme Court Declares State
Not Immune From Fed
eral Levies.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court held today the
State of Ohio in exercising a mo-
nopoly in the sale of Intoxicating
liquor, is subject to Federal taxes i'm
posed on the wholesale and retail
business.
Ohio was refused permission to file
suit against the United States to pre-
vent collection of taxes.
Ohio asserted it had entered the
liquor business, under its sovereign
authority, to prevent the return of
the saloon and to better serve public
health and morals.
1t insisted that it and other States
which also exercised a complete mo-
nopoly over the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquor were exempt
from Federal taxes and Federal regu-
lation.
When South Carolina some years
ago adopted the diSpensary system in
the sale of liquor. the United States
Supreme Court held the State in en-
tering the liquor business had sur
rendered its sovereign right of exemp-
ton from Federal taxes and must pay
those imposed on the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquor
The high court. through Justice
Sutherland, declared the immunity OF
a State from Federal taxation extend
ed only to those State agencies of a
strictly governmental character.
The opinion said that when a State
engages in business of private char
acter and not as an exercise of gov
ernmental function. the business was
subject to Federal taxes.
The question as to the right to tax
having been fully decided in the opin-
ion, the court refused to permit Ohio
to proceed further.

ROOSEVELT SILVER
MESSAGE DELAYED
Held Up for Final Check
Over-WilI Go Forward
Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The silver forces drew closer today
to their long-sought goal. President
Roosevelt's special message recon-
mending monetary elevation of the
white metal was ticketed for delivery
to Congress tomorrow.
Both Senate and House turned to
other affairs while awaiting the silver
message, which was described before
hand as approving legislation to back
American dollars with 25 per cent
silver and rs per cent gold.
A bill to this end, ready for in
sertion into the legal mill on receipt
of written word from the Chief Ex-
ecutive, would declare the 25-75 pro-
posal mandatory, but would make
permissive the actual means Of sill
yer acquisition. On this same may
basis Mr.. Roosevelt would be au-
thorized to nationahze domestic silver
just as was done in the case of gold.
Billion Ounces Needed.
The silver men, elated at this cap
ping of their long campaign. were
ready to ask right of way for the
legislation as soon as the reciprocal
tariff bill is disposed of the latter
part of the week.
The purchase Of more than a bill
lion ounces of silver would be re-
quired to bring about the desired bal
ance. Treasury experts estimate
year or two would be required to lay
hands on SO large an amount.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt declined to
confirm such reports in advance, most
of those interested believed an inter-
national silver conference would be
called before the end Of the pur-
chases.
Administration moves in the cause
Of world peace were added by Demo-
cratic leaders today to the tariff, sill
yer rehabilitation and huge housing
program for disposition before ad-
journment of Congress.
Committees to Meet Soon.
Both Senate and House committees
dealing with foreign affairs planned
early meetings to act on the State
Department resolution authorizing
the President, in collaboration with
other powers, to take steps to prevent
arms and munitions shipments to Bo-
livia and Paraguay in their Gran
Chaco territorial dispute
In addition. Chairman Pittman,
Democrat. of Nevada, of the Senate
committee, said he would ask the
Senate at the earliest opportunity to
approve the nine-year-old Geneva
arms treaty, aimed at suppressing
large part of the international traffic
in implements of war.
Before taking up the tariff again,
the Senate voted on the Norris reSolu-
ton. proposing constitutional amend
ment to abolish the Electoral College.
