Postponed Meeting
Jeopardizes Revised
Milk Bill
House D. c. Committee
Cancels Session
Scheduled Today
Star Staff Photo.

Fate of the revised edition OF
the Schultz milk bill to open the
District milk market to milk and
cream produced outside the local
milkshed weighed in the balance
today as result of the failure of
the House District Committee to
hold a scheduled meeting.
The original Schultz bill, debated
in the House for four hours nearly
two weeks ago, is slated to come
up for final action Monday. Mr..
Schultz in the meantime introduced
a substitute, primarily to clarity
the original measure and remove
the possibility of a point of order
against it.
Meeting Postponed.
At the time. the District Com
mittee had planned to meet today,
and pass on the revised bill. But
the decision of the House to ad-
journ until Monday caused Chair
man Randolph to postpone the
meeting.
Representative Schultz now will
have no opportunity to get full
committee sanction of his revised
bill. If the House resumes debate
on his original measure Monday,
opponents will have the chance
they have been waiting for to raise
a point of order against it, which,
if sustained, would result in its
death.
Meter Bill Caught.
The committee also had planned
to consider a number of other bills
today in an effort to clear the cal
endar of local legislation it be-
lieved had a chance of enactment
before adjournment of the present
session of Congress. The principal
measure is designed to give the
Commissioners authority to make
permanent the parking meters in
stalled in the business section on
an experimental basis and to pur-
chase additional meters.

of $4,000 to 100000 cubic yards a

developed a new technique for op-

of liquid mud outside the runWays,
which are being filled with sand and

Unable to find a footing in the

Recreation
Board SET III
To Unity Control
First Step Taken for
Consolidation qs
Provided in D. c. Bill

The first step in consolidating con-
troll of the Districts recreation IA
cilities, as provided in the dead
locked District appropriations bill,
was accomplished today with the
creation of a committee, composed
of the three Commissioners and
three members of the Board of Edu-
cation, for the control and aGmin-
istration of all supervised recreation
In the city.
The program of organizat ton was
proposed at meeting of the uoard
members and the Commissioners at
the District Building this morning
and Immediately afterward the board
went into special session al the
Franklin School to ratify it Lnani-
mouSly
1t was pointed out that this re-
organization, agreed to by the con-
ferees on the budget at the Capitol,
is contrary to the reorganize ton
proposals contained in Representa-
tive Kennedys bill, introduced in
the House late yesterday. This
would place the Community C1nter
and Playground Department tunc-
tons under department of recrea-
ton under the city manager.
Mrs. Doyle President.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education,
was named president of the new
controlling committee, and she in
turn nominated c. Melvin Sharpe
chairman of the boards committee
on community use of buildings, and
John H. Wilson. senior colored
member of the board, to be the
other two members.
Operating under this committee
will be subcommittee yet to be
named composed of a Commissioner
and board member which will
handle routine control.
Complete administrative authority
and control of facilities and person.
mel are to be vested in a director of
recreation, who is also yet to be
appointed. However, indications are
Lewis Barrett, at present co-ordi-
nator of recreation under the Dis
trict Recreation Committee, is
slated for the appointment
Ten Year Effort.
The new recreation administrator
when appointed, and his staff will
probably have Offices in the old Force
School on Massachusetts avenue be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets NV.
For the last 10 years efforts have
been made to settle difficulties be-
tween the three agencies controlling
District recreation and to unity it
In some way but all fell by the
wayside until the Senate conferees,
on the 1910 budget agreed to the
transfer Of the playground depart
ment to the Community Center De-
partment. Under this setup all
supervised play will be under uni
fed control with only the parks and
q half dozen areas for supervised
play remaining under the office of
the National Capital Park along with
golf courses and tennis courts and
several swimming pools.

vene again, the ticket holder may

ira Association felt that good mu-

Celebrate War
Anniversary
Ambassador Urges
Countrymen Not
To Yield to japan

The rising sun of Chinas rcd,
white and blue national banner f1ut-
tered with American Stars and
Stripes on Washington streets today.
Strains of Chinese patriotic airs,
sung In unfamiliar tones and tongue,
fioated up to the ears of crowds in
windows of downtown buildings.
1t was just two years ago today
that small incident" between
Japanese and Chinese soldiers at
the Marco Polo Bridge, near PciLing,
touched off Japans undeclareo war
with China, resistance to which
WaShington's Chinese populat at4on
marked with a parade through the
downtown area and with ceremonies
at Mount Vernon Methodist Church.
In the parade, which was organ
lied by the Chinese National Saliva
ton Association, all age groups were
represented. A small contingent
from 6 to IL, delegation OF the
Chinese Youth Club, attired in smart
khaki shirts, trousers and overseas
caps; middle aged men and women
and even few patriarchs.
Some of the women wore colorful
"chong sans 0ong dresses) but
most of the paraders wore clothes
Of the Occidental world.
Ambassador Speaks.
When the delegation, 10000 strong,
had seated themselves in the church.
its members broke out a mass of
small fans to ward off the heat of
the day. The audience of approx
mately 1000 members heard Chinese
Ambassador to the United States HUI
Shih liken the two-year Chinese
resistance to America S early struggle
for independence
The success of the American War
OF independence was due to two fac
tors" he said. First. the Revolution
ary Army Fought on for eight years
without yielding Secondly, during
those eight years the interrM tional
situation changed in favor of the in
dependent colonies.
I'VE must learn these lessons of
history he continued. I'VE must
fight on. we must not yield"
The Ambassador also said that
American public sympathy in favor
of Chinese resistance had changed
from AT per cent in 1887 to "A per
cent in 1899.
Representative Also Speaker.
Another speaker, Representative
John M. Coffee of Washington. au-
thor Of the japanese Embargo Act
Of 1899. condemned the "scandalous
export" OF scrap metals to Japan
which he said were ito be used in
wanton slaughter of human life"
To think that a country whose
history is founded on a fight for
independence. would allow its mer-
chants to derive profits from such
source is beyond my comprehension"
he said.
The American people should not
be put In the anomalous position
OF being partners of Japan in its
violation of the sanctity of interna-
tlonal treaties he told the audience.
After the addresses, the Rev. C.
c. Hung of the Chinese Community
