j. s. LUMP P-SUM
SLASH ASSA|LED
BrlghtWood Citizens Asso-
citation Asks Federation to
FIGHT Drastic Cut.

Asserting that the scrapping OF the
Federal lump-sum payment as pro-
posed by the special Fiscal Relations
Committee was unjust and unfair to
the taxpayers of the National Capital,
the Brightwood Citizens Association
last night adopted a resolution pro-
testing such action. 1t was pointed
out that for many years past the Fed
eral payment has been insufficient.
The association voted retention Of
the present tax rate of $1.50 and also
voted that the matter be referred to
the Federation of Citizens Association,
requesting the new Fiscal Relations
Committee of the federation to con-
slider the resolution and also the spe-
cial report and concentrate its efforts
on the lump sums toward the upkeep
Of the District.
The association also protested the
Public Utilities Commission authoriza-
ton of a large number of Capital
Transit Co. one-nan cars without a
public hearing. The transit company
was criticized for delay in putting
into operation the westbound turn at
Seventh and G streets.
District of Columbia Jail Lodge, No.
ia, appealed to the association to as
sist in securing shorter working hours
and more adequate compensation for
employees at the local Jail.
Announcement was made by William
NICK. Clayton, chairman of the Public
Utilities Committee, that the last of
the trolley poles in the center of
Georgia avenue between the car barn
and Walter Reed Hospital had been
removed and that the present year
would witness the removal of the poles
between the hospital grounds and the
District line.
The dangerous traffic conditions on
Georgia avenue at Rittenhouse and
Sheridan streets and Piney Branch
road were called to the attention of
the meeting.
Mrs. George c. Thorpe, chairman
Of the Women's Safety Committee,
District of Columbia Motor Club,

new YORK COTTON
by the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 9.-Cotton
futures opened steady, 2 points de-
cline to l advance, with lower Liver
pool cables partly offset by trade and
foreign buying. January, 228b: March,
1898; May, 1926; July, 1919; Octo-
Der, 11.87; December, 11.85.
Trading was moderately active with
price changes narrow and irregular.
Trade buying from both domestic and
foreign sources absorbed initial accu-
mutation of liquidation and hedge
selling.
After the call prices were respon-
sive to orders and turned steadier on
price fixing against sales of cotton
goods.
According to trade estimates, print
cloth sales for the week were about
two and one-half times the weeks
production. March, which had re-
acted from 1910 to 1896, was selling
at 1888 shortly after the first half
hour, when prices generally were to
points net lower.
Reports of an expected settlement
of the Pacific Coast maritime strike
within several days were regarded IA
vorably. Private advices indicate
about 100000 bales of cotton on the
Pacific Coast waiting freight room
for export.
Liverpool declined under local SELL
ing and hedging with demand poor.

COTTON TURNS UP
AFTER RECESSION
Interest Centers on Plans
for Release of Loan Sup
plies of Staple.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 9.-lnterest
in the cotton trade this week CEN
tered on plans for release Of loan COT
ton during February and March.
After easing about 4 cent under
late December levels, the market re-
covered on improved buying against
active sales Of cotton goods at ad-
vancing prices. Traders, however,
hesitated to follow March above the
1212-cent basis until further details
Of the loan cotton release plan were
revealed. That contract, which had
reacted to 1924, rallied to 12.49 and
closed yesterday at 1241, compared
with 12.40 on December 81.
Announcement of the Commodity
Credit Corp. that it would release a
reasonable amount Of cotton from the
100000 bales of loan stocks from
FEBRUARY l through April brought in
little selling at the opening of the
week on a theory that a tight spot
situation would be alleviated.
Inasmuch as cotton cannot be re.
Aeooeu' unuer tne plan, When the
average price Of middling spots at the
10 designated markets eases below
l2.75, support developed when futures
declined below this basis.
According to plans, cotton will be
released to borrowers at 25 points un-
der the average spot price on the pre-
ceding day, the minimum price thus
being 1880. Washington officials en-
phasized that only so much cotton
would be made available as would
probably supply current requirements.
Selling was principally in the Janu-
ary and March positions, causing their
premiums over later months TO narrow
somewhat. Domestic mills fixed prices
actively against large sales of cotton
goods on reactions.
There was also some foreign buying.
but exports lost further ground during
the week and at 3,051 900 bales for
the season thus far are $4,000 bales
under the corresponding period Of last
year. Exports of Indian cotton were
increasing seasonally.

VIRGINIA TRANSIT DEAL
OPPOSED BY 3 FIRMS
Restraint of Competition Charged
in Petition to Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Alleging restraint of competition,
the Carolina Coach Co., the Virginia.
Carolina Coach Co. and Virginia
Stage Lines, Inc, today protested to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against granting the application of
the Richmond Greyhound Line 70 ac-
quire control of the Peninsula Transit
Corp. The petition asked that they
be allowed to intervene in the pro-
ceedings before the commission.
Peninsula operates between Wash
1ngton, Baltimore and the tidewater
Virginia section. The Virginia Stage
Lines also operates south from Wash
ington.
The complainants say Greyhound
now occupies dominating COMPETE
tive position" through lower Virginia
and that if it takes over Peninsula it
will have "a monopoly of motor bus
operation in this territory, which will
unduly restrain competition, will in
juriously affect the petitioners and
will be contrary to the public inter-
estS."

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, January
9.-Friends gathered by invitation
last night to see the premiere of a
miniature Greatest Show on Earth"
at the home of George H. Barlow, Sd,
who never outgrew his boyhood love
Of circuses.
It was the occasion Of a lifetime
for Barlow-the elimination Of 10
years work in copying in miniature,
down to the last whiffle-tree on the
last wagon, all details of the COM
bined Ringing Bros. g. Barnum g.
Bailey Circus. Eventually he may
open his show to the public, he said.
Barlow, independently wealthy, dis
closed that ever since he was boy.
his dream was to become the owner
of "a show of my own" Ten years
ago he began to design and plan the
miniature circus in his workshop.
With notebook, rule and camera, he
followed the big show even into Win
ter quarters at Sarasota, Fla. The
result of his travels and measurements
are the 100000 parts that go to make
up the diminutive reproduction of the
original. Many persons have aided
him in the enterprise.

 Meanwhile, in the senate, 1t was reported an attempt might be made to obtain approval from the demo- cratic majority of a resolution faye bring the increase. Connecticut's six U. s. Senators and representatives are democrats and repoTtedly divid- cd on the court question.

 Gov. FavOEs Retirement
 Should 6 favoring resolution be presented in the senate, where the democrats have a majority of 26 to g, leaders felt its passage assured. The governor, who will observe his 18th birthday anniversary in April, has been quoted in favor of retire. ment of federal judges at 70 years and the senate usually has respect ed his feelings with regard to fed- eral matters.
 Connecticut law requires the re- tirement of it's own judges when they reach the age of 70. The state judiciary has declined to comment on the presidents court reform pro- pcsal.
 House Republican Leader Noah Swayne, Darien, who submitted the resolution, is grandson of the late U. s. Supreme Court Justice Noah Swayne, who retired voluntarily in 1884 at the age of 81 because of his wife's failing health.
