Traffic Committee
Of Trade Board Hits
Griffenhagen Plan
Disopproves Abolition
Of Department Now
Governing Vehicles

The Traffic Committee of the
Board of Trade yesterday unani-
mously voted its disapproval of the
abolition of the Department of
Vehicles and Traffic and the dis
tribution of its functions to other
agencies. as proposed in the Grif-
fenhagen reorganization report.
The committee described the pro-
posal as "unwise' and an 'unWork-
able solution" 1t said the recon-
mendation was contrary to the trend
of action in other communities and
that any reorganization proposal
should maintain the Department of
Traffic separate from but co-ordi-
mated with the Police Department.
Col. L. c. Crawford, chairman.
said the planning and enforcement
agencies should be separate but CO.
ordinate
The committee, meeting at Har-
veys Restaurant, also voted unani-
mously that the Board of Trade
ask Congress to delay action on the
entire report until estimates of the
cost OF setting up the reorganlzed
government are available.
There is nothing in the report
beyond pious hope" Col. Craw-
ford said. "as to what and where the
economics will be-
Other action included a resolu-
ton that Congress be asked for an
increase in the police force ade-
quate to protect the public properly
and enforce the law.
Washington I. Cleveland. a COM
mittee member, said the need for
more police is greater today than
ever.
In connection with the Griffen-
hagen proposals. John Bresnahan

BY GARRETT d. HORNER.

You won't have to worry about
curtsying and such formalities of
traditional royal etiquette if you
have the good luck to meet King
George vi and Queen Elizabeth
when their British majesties visit
Washington next June, because they
won't expect it,
This is the advice of an assistant
private secretary to the King, Capt.
Alan F. Lascelles. now in Washing
ton helping the British Embassy and
the State Department work out de-
tails of the program for the royal
visit.
He explained that as guests in the
United States, their majesties will
expect their contacts with Americans
to conform to the democratic GUS
toms of their host country and not
to those of their own royal court.
In other words. the visiting British
King and Queen will follow the
principle of that old saying, when
IN Rome do as the Romans do"
Such things aren't being discussed
officially by the arbiters of official
etiquette in the State Department.,
but nobody there would be surprised
if King George gives hearty hand
shakes in American fashion to those
lucky enough to be formally intro
duced to him here. There'll be no
rules about it, and what he does
with his hands when meeting people
will be up to his majesty.
Details to Be Planned.
These matters of etiquette are
among the least of the worries of
those concerned officially with the
royal visit, however. When a King
visits President there are hundreds
of little details to be planned exactly
far in advance and gone over again
and again to make sure there will
be no hitch.
With the visit still more than
three months away, George T. Sum-
merlin, chief of the State Depart
ment's Division of Protocol, and his
staff have been working on the
plans for months in cooperation
with Sir Ronald Lindsay. the Brit
ish Ambassador here.
Sir Ronald and Capt. Lascelles
sat down around a desk in Mr..
Summerlin's Office for nearly two
hours yesterday afternoon, review
ing the plans, which won't be final
until President Roosevelt returns
from his vacation cruise and gives
them his personal approval.
There was considerable specula-
ton as to the exact significance of
Capt. Lascelles' visit. He told re-
porters merely that he came here
to "be instructed" indicating tina.
he was gathering full information
to carry back to the King and Queen
on what entertainment was being
planned for them. But from other
quarters came word that he was en-
tirely too modest, indicating that he
may have brought here some per-
sonal expression from his majesty
about what he would like to do and
see in Washington.
Apparently Capt. Lascelles, All as
sistant private secretary to King

Ba||ou, Quinn Fail
To Sell Kennedy
On School Setup
Another PorIey Slated
To Discuss Griffenhoqen
Administrative Plan

Representative Kennedy, Demo-
crat, of Maryland said today he still
had to be convinced" that the pro-
posed new setup for the District
public schools under the Griffen-
hagen reorganization plan for the
municipal government is not SUI
perior to the present organization.
The announcement followed a
conference with Supt. of Schools
Frank w. Ballou and Henry I.
Quinn, who resigned from the Board
Of Education last week to fight the
Griffenhagen recommendation for
an advisory committee on educa-
ton as a substitute for the present
board
Another Conference Slated.
Mr.. Kennedy expects to hold an
other conference with DR.. Ballou
and Mr.. Quinn next week for a
further discussion of the School
Board case.
Instead of abolishing the School
Board, Mr.. Quinn told Mr.. Kennedy
at the initial conference yesterday,
it should be retained as an inde-
pendent agency and its powers in
creased. He is said to have argued
that the School Board should be
given complete supervision over
school buildings so it can order re-
pairs without depending on the Dis
trict repair shop, as well as author
ity to control school expenditures.
Mind "Still Open"
Mr.. Kennedy said his mind as to
how the school system should fit
into the reorganization picture is
still open" and he would be willing
to abandon the proposal to abolish
the School Board if opponents of
this plan can show him the present
setup is functioning efficiently and
economically.
Mr.. Kennedy is head of special
subcommittee of the House District
Committee in charge of the Grif-
fenhagen reorganization program
He has called meeting of the sub
committee for Tuesday to fix date
for beginning public hearings on the
plan.

eral weeks ago to preserve the col

the rebuilding of some structures and

ably in Virginia City, to complete ar

It is proposed to build a connecting
road from the new highway now under
construction, to Robbers Roost, hang
out of the road agents in the Vigilante
times, to repaid the building itself and
establish a museum; to build a road
to the monument which marks the
discovery of gold by Andrew Davis,
uncle of the prominent Butte man of

Boot hill, where some of the members
of the Henry Plummer gang are
buried; to place historical marker

of those times; to rebuild Adobetown, |
and to mark other sites such as the !
grave of Captain Williams of the Vigil /

scaped and beautified under the pro-
gram. Markers would carry the legends

"The Law Marches West" is the
name of volume about the north
west mounted police and frontier
days generally, recently published
by ]. M. Dent & Sons of Toronto.
The author is the late Sir Cecil E.
Denny, Bart, an Inspector in the
famous force during the epic march
across the plains to carry law and
order to western Canada.
The Denny papers and manuscripts
were edited by w. B. Cameron, who
also knows his west. He it was who
wrote. when Fur Was King"
Denny was born In Hampshire, Eng
land, Dec. A. 1850. At 10 he migrated
TO the United States settling on land
purchased by his father. 1t is now part
at the old Sherman house during the
great Chicago fire Of 1871.
In February, 1874, Denny always
lover of adventure, crossed over into
Canada and joined the northwest
mounted police, then being organized
for service on the frontier. Three hun
dred officers and men comprised that
first history making contingent.
With Colonel Macleod
Denny became an inspector and in
the Colonel Macleod command assisted
in the construction of Fort Macleod
In 1874 and Fort Calgary the year
following Captain Denny saw service
at historic old Fort Walsh in the
Cypress hills and devotes a chapter
to a recital of the flight of Chief
Sitting Bull and his Sioux into Canada
after the Custer massacre.
Denny relates in his narrative the
first encounters with the whisky trad
ers from Montana territory who ex-
changed bad liquor for valuable ftlrs
in their barter with the Indians at
Fort Whoop-Up and other posts es-
tablished along the southern Alberta
rivers. Whoop-Up was the flourishing
center of this frontier life.
In his reference to Sitting Bull and
the Sioux at Fort Walsh, Denny brings
out that the Sioux claimed their
were British and they
wanted to remain In Canada and make
their home. General Terry and Gen
eral MCNEIL were sent by the United
States government to Fort Walsh to
meet Sitting Bull and his chiefs. The
mounted police escorted the generals
to Fort Walsh, where the memorable
council was held, preceded the night
before by a war dance staged outside
the fort.
Interview Is Failure
The interview with Sitting Bull was
q failure and General Terrys party
we're escorted back to the line, where
