Are we, not, vital principle in the
motives of a world cropping its way through

since the world began mankind has craved
some revelation of beauty; has demanded that
the life around him should be interpreted in
terms of beauty; and for this reason he MAIN

PRETTYMAN URGES
D. c. REFORM BILL
House Committee to Hear
Analysis of "Home Rule"
Measure.

With the pending bills to broaden
the powers of the District Commits
sioners and improve housing condi-
tions in alley areas scheduled for spe-
cial order Of business at the meeting
of the House District Committee Wed
nesday, Corporation Counsel E. Bar
rett Prettyman today laid before the
committee an analysis of the bills
with the promise that before the
meeting of the committee he would
present a program specifying in what
particulars the Commissioners au-
thority should be broadened.
In an identical letter to each men,
Der of the House District Committee
Prettyman described the need for the
legislation broadening the Commits
sioners powers, as follows:
THE problem with which the bill
deals is quite obvious. Congress, in
the midst of its many and vital ma
tional problems, is constantly called
upon to give attention to relatively
unimportant District matters such as
disinterment of dead bodies, author
ity for the property clerk to sell prop
erty, length of leave of absence of
policemen and flremen, ct cetera. The
consequent imposition upon Congress
and a delay in disposition of such
matters are quite clearly evils which
should be corrected.
THE remedy lies IN either a bill be-
slowing general authority, such as the
pending bill, or in a detailed delega-
tional power respecting an enumerated
list of subjects. We favor the former
because there is less danger of omis-
sion of necessary items and because
the statute is less liable to narrow
construction by the courts. However,
at the request of the committee we
have in preparation a study of the
Illinois statute as suggested by Mr..
Dirksen. with a comparative analysis
of the District needs, which study we
hope TO be able to hand the members
of your committee on Monday or Tues
day."

1.-two men and a woman were
being sought by police in Washington
today for questioning in connection
with the stahhing of Herman Hutch
inson, 18, during a fight outside a
barbecue stand near here early yes
terday.
County Policeman Elon Turner, who
is investigating the case. said the
Washington trio purchased some beer
in the barbecue stand, refused to pay
for 1t, and then refused to leave the
premises.
The customers were finally ousted,
however, the policeman reported, and
in q tussle that followed Hutchinson
was stabbed under the arm. about
the wrist and back. 1t was not until
the Washingtonians had left and
Hutchinson returned to the barbecue
stand that he found he had been
stabbed, according to Turner.
The wounded man was rushed to
Casualty Hospital by Tilden Harris
of Oakland. Turner says that Hutch
inson resides at the Harris home.

This serpent made a noise like thun-
der Sometimes it moved from one
water hole to another On these oc-
casions it caused torrential rains to
food the land to facilitate its journey
The reptile was seen occasionally by
boys. never by men. A boy who
caught a glimpse of it was certain
to become a wise man.
Then there was the tie snake. a
long slender creature with a head
crooked over like the beak of hawk
1t moved by succession of jumps. 1t
was SO powerful that it could drag
along a full-grown horse This mon
ster also lived in small, deep-water
holes in the forest from which it made
frequent excursions in search of its
prey.
Another mythical reptile of the
Muskogeans was the sharp-breasted
snake. 1t left behind it a furrow like
that made by plough-share. 1t
could cut through roots of great trees
so that they would fall over. The
creature always changed its residence
during a rain storm. 1t has been
considered a possible symbol of the
lightning
Besides there was the monster liz
ard. cuklba. which lived in hollow
trees like bear and sometimes ate
men; the nokoSoma, black bear with
long tuskS that crossed each other;
and the sodotcakala, great bird
which always looked toward the sky
and never toward the earth.
