NON GOLD PAYMENT
Contends Canal Rental Treaty
Cannot Be Altered With
out Consent.
BY the Associated Press.

Maintaining the recent Supreme
Court gold decision Strengthening it's
position that gold obligations under
the 1904 treaty cannot be paid off in
devalued dollars. the Panaman gov
ernment next week will decline to
accept a treasury check for $3.50 900
if it is rendered for the 1885 rental
on the Panama Canal Zone.
1t was learned on good authority
the Panama government intends to
return the check to the Treasury, as
it did last year. and ask instead for
gold coin, as specified under the 81
year-old treaty. Panama contends
this treaty cannot be altered or modi-
fled by one government without con-
sent of the other.
That DR.. Ricardo J. Alfaro. Panama
Minister to Washington. has dis
cussed the matter with State Depart
ment officials this week following the
Supreme Court decision has been es-
tabliShed. He reasserted Panama S
views, but the Minister has declined
to discuss his action pending official
instructions from his government.
However, new Panaman repre-
sentations are expected at the legation
when the annual payment falls due
February 26.

RANDOLPH FAV0RS
vOTEFOR DISTRICT
National Representation Is
Urged by West Virginian
in Crime Forum.

National representation for the Dis
trict was recommended last night by
Representative Randolph, Democrat,
of West Virginia. chairman of the
Special House Committee investigating
crime here.
Speaking before the American Uni
versity Crime Forum at 1901 F street,
the legislator. after deploring the
prevalence of murder and other crimes
here, declared;
The people here are looking to
Congress to protect them. because
there is no one else to legislate fol-
the District but Congress"
II look forward to the day when
every man and woman here will have
the right of franchise. I know that
is a disputed question, and there are
many members of Congress, especially
from nearby States, who oppose the
franchise for this city. But I believe
that fine example has been set by
the other capitals of the world, which
give the vote to their residents.
Vote Is Wholesome.
"It is wholesome and healthy for
the people to have a vote in their own
affairs, and we should have it here. ,
The question of franchise in the
Capital bobbed up again during the
question and answer" period of the
forum when Representative Randolph
was asked about the failure of the
Police Department to get police re-
placements and requested an increase
in force from Congress. The speaker
had told of his losing fight on the
floor of the House to have 35 police
restored to the force. when some one
in the audience asked:
How about the citizens of the Dis
trict taking direct action?"
You need a vote" replied the legis-
lator. That's the real solution to
YOUR problems. All the resolutions
that your trade and civic bodies pass
and present to Congress are a help
to you; they are a nice gesture, but
they are not a vote on the floor CT
Congress"
Crime Increase Deplored.
The speaker deplored an alarming
increase" in crime here during the past
few years, and declared Washington
to be lone of the most crime-ridden
cities of the whole world" Citing
numerous statistics as to the amount
of arrests for various. crimes here, he
charged that Washington in a COM
parison with nine other cities of ap-
proximately the same size was only
second in murder, first in robbery,
second in burglary, first in grand lar
ceny and second in automobile
thievery.
More than $4,000 persons were
arrested here last year." said Repre-
sentative Randolph, that is more
than 10 per cent of the entire popu-
lation."
He added that during the past year,
there were 81 murders; So arrests for
manslaughter; 239 assaults with in
tent 10 kill; 961 robberies; 1888 homes
and business places burglarized, and
3,169 cars stolen. He expressed the
belief the missing cars were partly
due to at least a few rings"

RETIRED BUDGET
WORKER IS DEAD
Charles A. Harbaugh Quit
U. S. Service Last Year
After a. Years.

Charles A. Harbaugh, So, retired
investigator for the Budget Bureau,
died yesterday at his home at Chillum,
Md. He had retired from the Gov
ernment last year after about A years
of service and apparently was in ex-
cellent health.
Mr. Harbaugh had been pruning
fruit trees on his lawn Thursday, and
on retiring complained of a pain in
the chest. Yesterday morning his
wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Harbaugh, was
unable to arouse him and found he
had died. apparently from heart

gent roads, Monday at pm. Burial

Born in Ohio on September 7. 1871,

to Washington to the Coast and Geo
detic Survey. Later he transferred to
the Coast Guard and was active in its
old life saving service until he was
advanced to the post of chief of the
section of statistics
He specialized in photography as a
hobby, and one Of his photographs,
showing a surfman on the beach,
holding a flare or so-called "coston
signal" is probably the most widely
publicized picture in the history of
the Coast Guard. Copies of it adorn
the walls of the Coast Guard head
quarters
Entered Treasury Post.
He left the Coast Guard in 1920 to
enter the office of chief clerk of the
Treasury. and when the Budget Bu-
reau was organized by Charles G..
Dawes, its first director, Mr.. Harbaugh
was made chief clerk. He served in
that capacity until he was promoted
to be investigator. His activities as in
vestigator pertained mostly to the inde-
pendent establishments of the Gov
ernment and to the Labor Department.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Eliza
beth Harbaugh: three sons, Fred of
Philadelphia and Thomas and Daniel
Of Washington; and three daughters,
Mrs. Mary Campbell, Mrs Louise Rich
aroSon, both of this city, and Mrs.
Phyllis Hood of New York City.
Mr.. Harbaugh's father was Rev.

Monument Society Would
Improve Weather.
Section of Structure.
CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE
INVOLVED IN PROPOSAL
Granite Favored to Replace Dam
aged Marble-Group Names
New Members.

Plans for a major operation on the
lower part of the Monument COM
plete resurfacing of the first $50 feet
of the old shaft-were discussed and
indorsed yesterday by the Washington
National Monument Society at its
annual meeting In the Metropolitan
Club.
The society acted after considering
at length a communication from the
director of the National Park Service,
Department of the Interior. reviewing
the cleaning and repairing operations
done during the past six months and
pointing out that the improvements
have failed to change materially the
weather-beaten appearance OF the
lower part of the Monument.
The park service director said the
recent work on the obelisk has served
to make it weatherproof and water
tight and has improved the looks OF
the upper portion Of the structure
above the l50-foot level. Below that
level, however, there is large amount
of surface breakage, spalling anc
staining which, according to the re-
port of the Park Service engineer
could be removed only by cutting the
face of the marble back about
inches and replacing 1t with new
stone.
Fypense InvoIyed.
Such an operation, it was stated
in the report, would entail consider
able expense, but could be accom-
plished without endangering the
Monument structurally.
The society expressed its gratifica-
ton at the improvements already ef-
! fected and announced. in resolution
its desire to cooperate in bringing
about the suggested resurfacing. In
| this connection the society extended
the term of the committee appointed
year ago to seek improvement oi
the Monument. This committee
consisting of Col. U. S. Grant, Sd;
Frederic A. Delano and George E
Hamilton. was authorized to approve
on behalf of the society, any plans
that might be made looking toward
such reSurfacing and to take any
other steps that might be necessary
Ito secure and maintain the seemly
and dignified appearance o: the
Monument"
! 1t was the opinion Of the society
that the resurfacing should be done
with granite, selected to harmonic
with the marble of the upper por-
ton, because of the greater durability
Of granite.
New Members Named.
The society elected two new mem
bers. Rear Admiral Cary T. Graysor
was chosen to fill the vacancy causet
by the recent death of John Bartol

Who made medical history at
Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland, with
the performance of the first opera
tion in the history of the world for
the relief of angina pectoris, a
heart ailment, which in the past
has been regarded as incurable
and eventually fatal. The patient
is reported resting easily. The
procedure was based upon labora-
tory Investigations carried out upon
animals by DR. Beck since 1882.
Medical men believe that in all
probability the operation will
quickly become known as one of
the most important medical dis
coveries of recent times. 1t may
mean as much to the world as the
discovery of a cure for cancer be-
cause within the last few decades
