The relationship of votes for and against the plan, 34 per cent for, and 66 per cent against, has varied by less than 2 per cent in the last three tabula tions. The percentage of votes for the court proposal rose slightly during the last three days, but not enough to show real trend. The vote is still almost two to one against the proposal.
 Texas and Oklahoma, among states Swidely-covered by the vote distribution, were ding against the proposal, but nearly al other states returned votes opposing the plan in various proportions. Massa- chusetts, which had piled up a tre- mendous opposing vote, largely in Boston, came down to approximate ly two to one when Lynn returned vote of almost four to one for the presidents plan. New York state continued almost four to one against 1t.
 Several cities stood out in their opposition to the general trend. Los Angeles rolled up 1461 for and 226 against the plan, and St. Louis polled 379l for while 1344 were vot- ing against the plan. Binghamton, N. Y, stood out on the other side with nearly 10 to l against the plan, 412 for, and 4533 opposing.
 Very few cities taking part in the poll have as yet reported their totals as complete. and the likelihood of an enormous vote grew daily.
 State returns where the vote was especially widely distributed, were oc fn11nue.

86,992 AT SCHOOL

Total enrolment in the District
public schools at the opening of the
second term yesterday was 86,992,
according to figures that will be
submitted tomorrow to the Board
of Education.
Despite the recent suspension Of
regulations prohibiting attendance
Of children living outside Of the
District, whose parents are en-
ployes of the Federal Government,
the enrolment figure represents
an increase Of only 1881 over the
registration total of February /,
1886. This is a percentage in
crease considerably less than for
the past several years, according to
Robert L. Haycock, first assistant
superintendent of schools.
During the past term Al non
resident pupils were enrolled here
following a decision Of the District
Supreme Court in favor Of John
H. Kemp, of Clarendon, Va, who
contended that his 13-year-old
daughter, Lois, should be permitted
to attend school in the District.

NEW MATTS0N
LINKPR0BED

BOSTON, Feb. 2 U.N.SO. Fed
eral authorities today broadcast
throughout the nation a descrip-
ton Of an East Cambridge man,
arrested in Springfield last June
on a charge Of impersonating a
Federal officer, and now wanted
for questioning in the Mattson
kidnap-murder mystery.
When arrested the man carried
a spurious badge, purchased in
Springfield and manufactured by
a concern which also manufactures
rubber stamps. Federal authori-
ties are convinced that the Matt
son kidnap notes we're fashioned
with rubber stamps similar to
those manufactured by the Spring
field concern.
The man was sentenced to serve
three months in East Cambridge
Jail for impersonating a Federal
agent. While en- route to the jail
he told Deputy United States
Marshal John Hall, the latter re.
vealed, that he had a grievance
against a Tacoma (WaSh.) physi.
clan. The man added, Hall said
that he had obtained the badge to
speed revenge he was plotting
against the doctor.
Officials of the Springfield con.
Germ told Federal authorities that
at the time the man bought the
badge, he had shown interest in q
rubber stamp display, and that II
was possible he might have stolen
some.
