COMMISSION LEAVES
ISSUE UP TO STORES
Permits Will Not Be Granted by
City Heads Until Retailers
Give Their Consent.

Shrine leaders sharply warned
merchants along Pennsylvania avenue
today that the glamorous parades.
pageants and chariot races would be
moved to the Monument Grounds I'M
less permission is granted to build
grandstands in front of their stores.
A two-hour debate on the question
was staged today at a public hearing
before the Commissioners. At the con-
clusion a score of merchants almost
unanimously rejected pleas Tor the
building of stands on the north side
of Pennsylvania avenue between
Ninth and Tenth streets. Objections
also were voiced to building stands on
the north side of the Avenue between
Sixth and Seventh streets, Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets.
The Commissioners have approved
permits for the building of the stands
with the provision that the merchants
would give their consent. The city
heads said at the end of the debate
that this still was their position.
Smith Voices Appeal.
Robert P. Smith. Shrine potentate
and general director for the conven-
ton to be held here the week of June
9, adjourned with w. c. Miller, Wash
ington Shrine leader. to reach final
decision on where the parades will be
staged
Making an ardent plea to the score
of merchants, Smith said the Shrine
convention would leave s12 900. 900 in
the District, that sales of all the seats
along the Avenue were needed to
produce $225,O00 to defray convention
costs.
The merchants do not have the
right to build seats in their windows
or on their roofs. under the terms
of the act of Congress" he said. If
you did, it would make Washington
look like mining camp. You haven't
the right to make money by the sale
of seats in your windows. The Or
ganization that stages the shows
should get this money"
Sees Merchant Mutiny."
He said in other cities the Shrine
convention demonstrations were staged
in stadiums. but that Washington has
no such facilities. He said the mer-
chants had the choice OF allowing the
stands to be built or to have the
Shrine events moved to the Monu-
ment Grounds. which would take the
crowds away from the stores.
Miller protested against a "mutiny''
among some of the merchants. He
declared it would be better for them
to have nice people in the stands
than to have rabble on your side
walks"
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, asked for his opin-
ion, said the congestion of a large
number of persons on the sidewalks
between the buildings and the back of
the stands would create a traffic prob
lem the police would not be able to
handle. Merchant spokesman said
there would be danger of windows
being smashed in the crush, with per-
sonal injury liable to result.
Numerous proposals were debated.
including a plan to move the stands
farther out in the streets. but no
agreement was reached. The Com
missioners several times tried to ar
range an amicable settlement, but
they, too, failed.

BILL
DELAY ASSA|LED
Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin
Urges Passage Before
Women Voters.

Lack Of consideration for the con-
sinners in debating the food and drug
DILL in the Senate was criticized be-
fore the National League Of Women
Voters at their meeting at the Wash
ington Hotel this morning by Mrs
Harris T. Baldwin, first vice president
Of the league.
Mrs. Baldwin said women through
out the country are puzzled and in
dignant at the delay in passage OF
this bill. She referred to the food
and drug bill as the most important
legislation in the interest Of consum-
ers now pending before the legislative
body.
Women voters are constantly be.
ing shocked by authenticated reports
of lives lost. sight impaired. or other
serious injury suffered because Of con-
tinued sale of dangerous cosmetics. "
Mrs. Baldwin said. I'VE are con-
WINGED we are spending many times
the sum we should have to, just be-
cause we do not know the ingredients
Of the product. We know that because
of false advertising, misleading direc-
tons for use of drugs on the label OF
in advertising. that permanent injury
even death. may result for innocent
users. Under such conditions women
in constantly increasing numbers and
with more and more impotence are
asking, why the delay?"
Miss Florence Kirlin. legislative sec.
rotary of the league, declared that the
interest of the women in legislation
Is for the public interest. since the
league neither contributes to war
chests or expects any patronage plums
