PARADE ABANDONED
FOR HOMES EXHIBIT
Time Declared Too Short to Open
Exposition Monday With
Large Procession.

Though arrangements for the Bet
ter Homes Exposition, scheduled to
start Monday for a two-week period,
were going forward today, it was an
nounced by Thomas P. Littlepage, gen.
eral chairman Of the Washington Bet
ter Housing Campaign, that plans for
the parade to signalize opening of the
exposition have been abandoned.
Lttlepage stated that the time was
too short to prepare properly for a
big procession. although half dozen
bands, several marching units and
more than dozen floats had been
entered. The parade was to have been
staged by the housing organization in
conjunction with the District National
Guard.
Littlepage promised that the hous-
ing exposition, to be held in the Bus
Center of Washington, Sixth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, will be one
of the most attractive ever shown here.
Dozens of merchants in the home con-
struction and equipment field have
prepared displays in which every type
of material for home repair and mod
ernization will be shown.

MOtOrist Is Puzzled
By TiU0 Different
Bills for Same Tags
Five.DOlIar Discrepancy
on Bills for Old and
Ne,u Address.

It happens in the best regulated
machines, but-at least one District
motorist has been honored twice by
the Traffic Bureau with bills for the
same tags for 1885, and the amounts
on the bills are different.
Frank L. Carter, jr., of 1760 Kill
bourne place, recently received in the
mail a bill based on an assessment of
s435 on his 1888 Ford coupe. He put
1t aside and shortly thereafter came
another bill, this time based on an
assessment Of $3.50.
Carter wondered whether he should
wait a while longer to see if the next
bill would show any further reduction.
Inquiry developed, however, that one
of the bills had been made out for
the car at his old address and the
second bill was made out for his pres
ent address. And, alas, still further
inquiry showed that the $435 assess
ment, under the rules, was correct.
The figure given in the red book for
1888 Ford coupes is $433, and since all
assessments are arbitrarily made to
end in or S, the rule is that when
the figure shown in the book ends in
8, 4 or the assessment figure ends
in 8.
After q while Carter hopes to get all
of this Strengthened out and get his
tags.

N|GHTPARK|NGbAN
ON MAIN ARTERIES
IN WINTER STUDIED
30 to so Miles of Street
Involved in Proposal to
Prevent Tie-ups.
SNOW MAY RESTRICT
DOWNTOWN AREAS
Traffic Council Considers Plan
Tonight-Beneft to 60 Per Cent
of Residents Claimed.

A prohibition only during the Win
ter months against all night parking
on from 80 to SO miles of the Dis
trict's major traffic arteries, will be
one of the proposals considered by the
Traffic Advisory Council tonight to
facilitate the removal of snow and
preclude serious traffic tie-ups.
The proposed ban, it was empha-
sized, would be effective only during
the Winter months, and possibly only
in January and February.
The plan, which has been under
consideration for several months, also
involves a temporary ban on parking
in the downtown business area pend
ing removal of snow. Only streets
on which snow removal crews are
working would be affected, and the
restriction would be lifted as soon as
the men moved into another block.
Traffic Director Van DuZer, who
has been working with the traffic
council on the program, pointed out
that the details have not yet taken
definite form, but that the object is
two fold-to prevent parked cars from
interfering with removal of snow
which, in turn, will enable traffic to
move at more normal rate.
Proposed Streets.
The streets tentatively selected for
the all-night parking ban during the
Winter months follow:
M street between Twenty-eighth
and Thirty-sixth streets, Wisconsin
avenue from Macomb to M streets,
Massachusetts, avenue from Wisconsin
avenue to Seventh street, Sixteenth,
Fourteenth and Thirteenth streets
from Columbia road to the downtown
section, Columbia road between Six
teenth street and Connecticut avenue
and Rhode Island and New York ave-
nues within limits yet to be deter
mined.
Van Duzer said 80 per cent of the
city'S traffic passes over the streets
on which the restriction has been
proposed. Even if other thorough
fares are added to cover so miles, he
explained, since Washington has 750
miles of roadway only about per
cent would be affected and so per cent
of the population would be benefited.
The date for putting the prohibi-
ton into effect and the months that
it would apply are questions that have
not been determined. Neither has it
been decided what hours of the night
the ban would be in effect.
The TRAFFIC Councils action was
precipitated by the paralysis Of traffic
last Winter due to the inability Of
snow plows to operate on the main
highways that were clogged with
parked cars.
$4,000 More Autos.
I'VE don't want repetition of
what occurred last year." Van Duzer
declared. There are $4,000 persons
going to work in Washington every
morning now. That's 20 per cent
more than last year. And of these
cent walk. Furthermore, there are
$4,000 more automobile registrations
than last year. If we want to avoid
going through the same conditions
Of last Winter, something has to be
done"
Whatever action the Traffic Coun-
Gil takes on the proposed parking
prohibition, will have to be approved
by the Board of Commissioners be-
fore becoming effective. The coun-
ell can only recommend changes.

DANCE MUSIC TOO QUIET,
WARING SUED BY SACHS

Claiming Fred Waring and his pop
ular Pennsylvanians could not be
heard more than 10 feet away when
they played for dance in the audi
torium last New Year eve, Herbert
Sachs, 4529 Ninth street, filed suit in
District Supreme Court today for
$4,000 damages from the orchestra
leader.
Sachs says he engaged Waring to
play for the dance for S., 500 and that
Waring, after expressing his dissatis-
faction with the amplifiers in the
auditorium, agreed to install his own.
They refused to function properly, 1t
is claimed, and as result the music
could not be heard by dancers more
than 10 feet away from the orchestra.

v Of Japanese Emperors 20 GEN.
L ' L turies ago and one that today
is considered one of the finest
Of Oriental fantasies, was executed
and explained last night to the Wash
ington Arts Club by Mrs. Robert
Reishauer. Mrs. Reishauer is an
American woman student of Bon
Seki, the ancient art of land
usually takes seven years to master
more time than required to complete a
course in medicine.
While in the Orient Mrs. Reishauer
became fascinated by the art and
studied it. Her exhibit last night was
an unusual display of what Japanese
consider q rare and complicated art,
seldom, if ever mastered by a for
eigner.
During the exhibit Mrs. Reishauer
! explained how this culture had been
handed down through the centuries.
Ever since Empress Suiko received
a beautifully formed piece Of natural
lava from China in the early 400's," +"
Mrs. Reishauer said, stones and sand
that suggest fanciful things in the
minds of the Japanese have been pre-
served and used in this strange art"
Work Done at Low Table.
Sitting at low sukiyaki table, after
the fashion of the Japanese, she used
q black lacquer tray, and on 1t she
placed a rugged black stone. Picking
it up, she explained.
"In this stone the fanciful eye of
the Japanese see great resemblance
to the sacred Mount Fujiyama, the
magnificent snow-covered mountain in
Japan" And she placed it on the
tray.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE
STUDIES DISTRICT
BUDGET IN SOUTH
City Heads Hold Hope for
Increase in Federal
Payment.
FULL DATA is PLACED
IN R0OSEVELT'S HANDS
Commissioners Have Asked an
Appropriation of $s,315,o00
for 1885.

President Roosevelt is giving his per-
sonal attention to problems involved
in the District budget for the next
fiscal year. particularly in relation to
the move by the Commissioners for an
increase in the Federal payment
toward expenses of the National Capt.
tai, according to advices here
A full statement on questions in
volving the Federal payment. together
with other data on the District budget
for 1886, 1t was said, has been placed
In the hands Of the President for at
tention during his vacation stay al
Warm Springs, Ga.
Hope Is Held for Increase.
The very fact that the President is
taking time to give attention to this
problem has led District officials to
cling to hope that their requests for
boost in the Federal payment will
be recommended to Congress. District
officials, however, today were uncom-
municative about the matter and have
refused in the past to discuss their
hopes Of what the Budget Bureau
might do. This is because the problem
has passed out of their hands and is
now subject to decision by the Budget
Bureau and the President.
For the present fiscal year Congress
cut the Federal payment down to
$5,700,000, and then slashed from that
figure sums to constitute a repayment
Of Federal grants to the District for
sewer and park improvements, bring
ing the actual appropriation down to
some $4,300,000.
Ask $8,315,000 This Year.
The cut in the Federal payment for
this year was made on recommended
ton by the Budget Bureau last Win
ter, when that agency was headed by
Lewis w. Douglas. For this reason
the Commissioners argued that the
Budget Bureau could and should rec
ommend an increase for next year
They ask Budget Director D. w. Bell
to approve a Federal payment of
$8,3l5,000. Without such a Federal
payment the District would not have
a balanced budget for next year if all
requested appropriations are approved.
The Commissioners budget totals S44,-
039,356. This is about 100000
greater than the current appropria-
ton total but is some $1,000 900 less
than appropriations sought by the
District department heads.
It is anticipated that the Budget
Bureau will eliminate some of the re-
quested District appropriations and
that the Budget Bureau might see fit
to recommend an increase in the Fed
eral payment sufficient to enable the
District to balance the budget.
