Many charter members attended

was preached by the Rev. George
E. Schnabel. the pastor who has
been at the church since its found
ing.
The only child to be baptized at
the first services by Mr. Schnabel
and the first member of the Sunday
school class, the former Mildred

the original font with her husband,
Carl D. Houchins, to watch the bap-
ViciAi VA SOIl,
William Daniel Houchins.
Fourteen members attended early
Sunday school classes. Mr.. Schnabel
pointed out yesterday, and the en-
rollment is now $50. He praised the
loyal and devoted" members who
rallied around the church during the
first months of 1926.
Among the charter members at
tending services yesterday were
John D. Smoot, Mrs. Houchin's
grandfather; Harry Garner and his
daughter, Miss Eleanor Garner;
Mrs. Elwood Graham. Mrs. Dovie

Sheridan Fights Increase.
Representative Sheridan an
nounced he would oppose any in
creased pay for policemen until the
efficiency of the force is increased.
He was one of the three members
who subsequently voted against re-
porting the bill favorably.
The measure would raise the max
imum pay of police and firemen
about $500 a year. The Commits
sioners, who opposed it, estimated
it would add 81 ,481 ,651 a year to the
District budget.
Maj. Brown, however, appeared
before the committee to give the
bill his support, as did John Locher,
president of the Central Labor
Union; John L. Werheim, president
of the Firemen's Association, and
Adelbert w. Lee, Washington civic
leader.
Stress was placed by Maj. Brown
on the fact that policemen in the
upper salary brackets have not re-
ceived an increase in pay in II years
and that the officers here work
longer and harder than those in
New York, where the pay scale is
higher.
And" added Representative Nc
MILAN, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima, THE officers here have a little
more brains"

Mr.. Werheim explained that fire.
men work u hours a week and are
subject to call at other times, and
are paid at the rate of 64 cents an
hour, which, he declared, is the pay
scale of common laborer." The
bill, he pointed out, would raise the
wage scale to 80 cents an hour.
The Is who voted in favor of re-
porting the measure favorably were ::
Representatives Schultz of Indi-
ana, Hunter of Ohio, D'Alesandro
of Maryland, Mcmillan of South
Carolina, Maciora of Connecticut,

OF a battleship, two cruisers and
flve destroyers had attacked the
coast of Lebanon south of the
