Fresh expansion Of the rayon

A reawakening Of chemical re-

to yield new raw materials and

D. {. FUND BILL
FACES FIGHT IN
CONFERENCE

The District appropriations bill
today was sent to conference fol-
lowing the naming of House con-
terees.
The House named Representa-
tives Clarence Cannon CD Of
Missouri, Tom Blanton CD Of
Texas, and William J. Otter
.(R0 of Pennsylvania, to meet
with the Senate conferees, who
are Senators Elmer Thomas CD
Of Oklahoma, Carter Glass CD
of Virginia, Royal S. Copeland
Cd of New York, William H.
King CD of Utah, Gerald p.
Nye CD of North Dakota and
William KeyeS (RO of New Hamp-
shire.
It was the belief of the House
conference members that the ini-
tial meeting of the two groups
will not be held before Friday.
The certain fight over the Sen
ate changes that added approx
mately 100000 to the House
bill, which totaled $39,000,0 900,
probably will end in compro-
mise with the House figure of S.
100000 remaining.
The Senate probably will be
forced to recede on its lump sum
figure of $8,300,000 but may win
compromises on other items.
One item that some House con-
ferees seem willing to accept is
additional money to provide safe
grade crossings. The House bill
carried 100000 for elimination
of the Michigan Avenue crossing.
The Senate added 100000 for
elimination of the crossing at
Franklin st. N. E., and the House
is expected to agree.
1t also is expected that the
House will agree to additional po-
licemen, although they may not
accept the Senate increase of al
members to the police force.
While the House conferees age
not expected to agree to the Sen
ate additions for schools, they
are likely to accept some addi-
tional money.
A strenuous fight will develop
over the Senate money for char
acter education.
One House conferee said:
eve will never recede on that
proposition"

Motorist Thinks Our
Rules Are Silly

To the Editor of The Times:
Having but recently Joined the
legion of Washington motorists, 1
am making what I think is an
honest effort to comply with the
Districts traffic rules.
have driven car in many
American cities and have found
in each one a few regulations pc
culiar to the locality, which 1 had
to keep constantly in mind lest 1
run afoul of them. In most places
this has been no great task.
In washington, however, the or
deal assumes monumental proper
lions. Why should Washington,
with it's wealth of broad, inviting
boulevards, destroy the strangers
pleasure in using them with
myriads of silly. senseless and ut
terly useless "don'tS."
Chief among these, want to
list the mo right turn on red
light" rule. There are one or two
other cities enforcing this rule,
but these others are honeycombed
with narrow streets, lanes and
by-ways which make it advisable
for traffic to come to full stop on
a red light. In Washington, it
serves only to hamper.
The profusion of no parking
signs, 1 understand, have been
condemned again and again in
the public prints and even the bet
ter known vaudeville circuits are
basing snappy jokes on their prev
alence.
It all seems such a shame.

Widow InheritS
Half Newspaper

UPPER MARLBORO, Md,
April 1.-THE half ownership in
the Hyattsville Independent,
weekly newspaper, held by the
late E. A. Fuller, ST., has been
transferred to his wife, Mary l..
Fuller, according to the terms of
a will filed for probate in the
Orphans Court here yesterday.
The other half ownership is held
by their son. E. A. Fuller, jr.
Mr.. Fuller, ST., died March Is,
leaving q family residence in
Hyattsville and a large array of
stocks. The newspaper, which
consists only of it's name and
goodwill since the paper is print

the worst that 1 can recall off
handed. Why do not the States
use some of the money derived
from gas taxes and license taxes
to do away with these menaceS.
Surely, it can't be because the
taxes are not high enough, for
it is known that the amount
paid in these two taxes alone
in Virginia would emilinate these
crossings and take care of the
roads in three or four States.
I have in mind a. strip of
road less than Is miles long on
which there are six or eight
grade crossings, everyone of
which is a great danger to auto
mobile traffic. I don't believe
there has been a very bad acct
dent along this strip recently,
but that doesn't remove the
danger.
The railway companies put up
various gadgets for the public
safety, but still these accidents
occur. There is only one way to
do away with these death traps
and that, we all know, is either
through bridges or underpasses.
1 hope the State or Federal
Government will advance some
of the money being so carelessly
spent for othel things not half
so important to the cause before
we are faced with another whole
sale killing.

Constitutional
Convention Not

California'S much-amended con-

sembly decreed today when they
voted 48 to 26, against bill which
would carry out the mandate of the
electorate and arrange for a con-
Stitutional convention in 1887
Defeat of the measure was ac-
cepted generally as evidence that
the legislature would not approve
constitutional convention, despite
the fact the people voted for one
last fall.
Opponents IN in argum e n t
against following the peoples man
date was the fact that Los Angeles
county alone was responsible for the
convention proposition carrying in

border. authoritative sources said
today.
Reports of the incident were re-

Details of the new incident were
lacking but it was reported several
Italian subjects were killed.

the incident as being as serious as
last December's clash at Ualual, but
that it gave further evidence of

as proof that she is unable to po-
lice the frontiers properly.
Negotiations for settlement of
the Ualual incident are so far ad-
vanced that it was announced unof-

FILM ACTRESS
LOSES STEP IN
COURT BATTLE

LOS ANGELES, June 8. U.P)-Ann
Harding, blonde motion picture star,
lost the first round of her fight TO
retain custody of her 7-year-old
daughter today when Superior
Judge Edward T. Bishop ordered
her to prepare a defense to the
guardianship suit of her former
husband. Harry c. Bannister.
The court overruled Miss Hard
ing'S motion to dismiss the suit Of
her former husband who seeks the
appointment of a guardian to su-
perSede her as custodian of their
daughter. Jane BanniSter, I.
Judge Bishop also ordered the
actress to give a deposition in the
suit within five days. He set June
7 as the date for her to show cause
why a temporary order restraining
her from taking her daughter out
of the state should not be made
permanent. BAnnister secured the
temporary restraining order two
weeks ago.
Under terms of today's order,
Miss Harding must be prepared uo
refute Bannister's charges that she
is not a fit or proper" guardian for
the child.
Through her attorneys, the actress
had opposed Bannister's suit on
the ground that all jurisdiction in
the case lay within the province OF
the Nevada courts which awarded
her care of Jane when she divorced
Bannister in Reno two years ago.
The Reno courts later broadened
the order to permit her permanent
custody.
