GRAPHIC film Is SHOWN
AT THE ROTARY MEET

At the regular meeting of the local
Rotary Club last Monday evening, a
very interesting motion picture was
shown, the same being procured by
William H. Walters, connected with
the C. and P. Telephone Company in
this city.
The title of the film was "The Hur-
ricane", and, in a very clear and
graphic way, revealed the terrific
damage done to the whole system, by
the terrible storm of last winter.
Accompanying the picture was a
sound record, sending forth most in
structive and interesting lecture, ex-
planning every situation thrown on the
screen. Wind and rain played havoc
with lines, shipping, towns, and vii
lagos. Waters rose to unheard of
heights. Highways were DISTRACTED
by fallen trees and poles. Boats were
landed high and dry on the shore.
People were made homeless, and some
loss of life ensued.
Of course, the main object was to
show the wonderful activity and eff
fectiveness of the Telephone repair
gangs. Methods of restoring order
out of chaos; raising poles; stringing
wires; and maintaining stations, were
most entertainingly depicted, and,
with the expert management of Mr.
Leslie Bunting, the exhibition was a
most successful one.
State Senator Thomas F. Johnson
and Mr.. Lionel Schleisner, of Green
vile, Pa, were guests of the evening
At this meeting the following Of
ficers were elected: President, r. Har.
Ian Robertson; Vice-President, B. Full
Ter Walters; Secretary, George S
Bunting; Treasurer, Joseph c. Stew.
enson; Directors, Rev. r. B. Stewart
and Il. Harvey Bradshaw.

Walter ]. Mitchell stated that the
Act "unreasonably and arbitrarily in
terferes with private business"
This decision in no way affects the

Cherry Blossom Fete
Nav Have to Be DELAYED

1t appears likely today that the
annual Cherry Blossom Festival
would have to be postponed unless
series of exceptionally warm days
occurs between now and April 5.
Officials of the Office of National
Parks refused today to make any
definite prediction on when the
famous blossoms would appear at
the Tidal Basin. They did say,
however, that, judging from the
condition of the buds yesterday and
today, it would take two weeks of
normal spring weather" to bring
them out.
BY a series of the exceptionally
warm days officials said they meant
days when the thermometer reg
istered about 80 degrees. Such a
series of days appeared unlikely,
however, and predictions were made
that the festival, set now for April
S and 6, would have to be post
poned.
Meanwhile, National Park Col
lege, Forest Glen, Md. announced
selection of Miss Alice Betty Nichols,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. M.
Nichols of Chicago, to represent the
college in the blossom festival Miss
Nichols will be a member Of the
court of the cherry blossom queen,
Miss Rose Colliflower.

Commissioners 10 Get Draft
OF Job Insurance Chances

Proposed amendments to the Dis
trict Unemployment Compensation
Act probably will be submitted to
the Commissioners at their meeting
tomorrow by Corporation Counsel
Elwood H. Seal. it was learned today.
A draft of the proposed amend
ments, embodying principles adopt
ed recently by the Unemployment
Compensation Board, was studied
briefly today at a meeting of the
board with Mr.. Seal. The draft,
which is virtually completed, will
be ready for action by the District
Commissioners tomorrow, Mr. Seal
predicted. and if approved can then
be sent to the Budget Bureau.
The proposed plan would require
the District board to maintain a
benefit 'eserve fund of no less than
four times the amount of annual
benefit payment. This would maka
possible a tax rate cut to one-half
of per cent. The present rate is
3 per cent.
The benefit reserve fund now
amounts to more than $1,000, 900
and it is estimated that by the end
of this calendar year the fund will
totdl more than $4,000, 900.

Seal Drafting
New Tax Bill
For District
Prompt Action Seen
For Plan to Levy
On All Incomes

Proposals for amendment of the
Districts present income-tax laws
to make the levy apply to both resi-
dents and non-residents of the Dis
trict for incomes received in the
National Capital probably will be
considered at the meeting of the
House District Committee Monday.
Such amendments were planned
yesterday by the Commissioners, in
adopting suggestion made by Cor
poration Counsel Elwood H. Seal,
and the latter said he would have
the draft Of the proposed legisla-
ton ready for submission to the
House Committee in time for the
Monday meeting.
Prompt Consideration Promised.
Representative Randolph, chair
man of the committee, promised
that prompt consideration would be
given to any new tax proposals Of
fered by the Commissioners both
by the fiscal affairs subcommittee
of the House District Committee and
by the full committee itself.
AS drafted by Mr.. Seal, the pro-
posed amendments would apply the
tax to members of Congress as well
as to all other persons earning in
comes in the District. Congress
heretofore has failed to approve ap-
plication of the tax to members of
Congress. The result was that in
adopting the present District in
come levies, Congress directed that
it be applied to persons found to
be "domiciled" in the District.
Ruling Seen as Far-Reaching.
Belief is held that the recent rul-
ing by the United States Court of
Appeals for the District, in action
on the case brought by James j.
Sweeney on an intangible personal
property levy, likely will be found
broad enough to mean that thou
sands of Government workers here,
who claim legal residence in some
State, would be exempt from the
tax.
Commissioners George E. Allen
and David McCoach yesterday
agreed with Mr.. Seal that Congress
should be asked to consider at this
session proposals to correct such
defect in the present law at this
session of Congress. although they
plan to wait until the next session
for any decision as to the need for
raising rates. should this years ex-
perience prove the need for in
creased revenues.

Corporation Counsel
Objects 10 7 Proposed
Wage Law Changes
D. 6. Board Meets
With Seal and District
Commissioners

Two proposed amendments to the
minimum wage law of the District
were objected to today by Corpora
ton Counsel Elwood H. Seal. Mem
bers Of the Minimum Wage Board
met with Mr.. Seal and the District
Commissioners and considered pro-
posed amendments drafted by ex-
perts of the Department of Labor.
One proposal questioned by Mr..
Seal was $25 minimum fine. From
the standpoint of enforcement a
minimum fine, Mr.. Seal said, would
make an act ineffective, because in
court a judge would be likely not
to impose minimum fine but to
take personal bond. The maximum
fine, to which Mr. Seal did not OBJ
ject, was $500.
Another proposed amendment to
which the corporation counsel took
exception was provision that if
any person were seen in a place of
employment after his regular work
ing hours it would be considered
prima facie evidence that he was
working.
After the meeting today Mr.. Seal
explained the two controversial
amendments were referred back to
the Minimum Wage Board for its
further consideration. 1t was under
stood 1t would act on them in the
light of objection raised by the
corporation counsel, but there was
no indication early this afternoon
what it might do.
The Labor Department was UNDER
stood to have drawn up a number
Of amendments to the local law, but
the corporation counsel's ONCE OBJ
jected to only two.

Wahoo, the dog-faced baboon
whose clownish antics won him
many audiences and a few tor
mentors, died yesterday in his cage
at the Zoo.
The ugly, ill-tempered baboon, for
some mysterious reason, became one
of the most popular attractions in
the park. Visitors who passed up
the snakes, the elephants and the
monkeys paused before Wahoo's
cage.
This was due in part to the ba-
boon's responsiveness to an au-
dience. Small boys, shouting and
beating their hats against the wire,
could drive him into rage. He
learned to dash at them. jumping
into his drinking trough at the edge
Of the wire in way to shower them
with water.
Adults fed the baboon cigarettes
some Of them still lighted. Wahoo
developed . taste for tobacco, which
seemed to have . narcotic effect.

Wohoo, Zoo Boboon, Dies;
Was Fuvorite of Zioncheck

The habit neither improved his
nerves nor his temper.
Last year Wahoo, who was on loan
to the Zoo, was sent to Hollywood
to play in a, motion picture. The
elderly quick tempered baboon
proved a bad actor, and soon was
back at the old stand.
Wahoo was the favorite of the
late Marion Zioncheck, madcap
Representative from Washington
State. The Representative often
amused himself with Wahoo while
his colleagues went about their work
on Capitol Hill.
It was Mr.. Zioncheck's opinion
that Wahoo had more sense than
anybody in Congress" The Repre-
sentative, who later committed sui
eide, fed his favorite sardines and
candy. He put him through q
clownish routine Wahoo would adopt
for no one else.
The two seemed to understand
each other.
An autopsy will be performed In
IN effort to determine the cause
Of Wahoo's death.
