Representative Says Socie
xties Should Restrict Legis
lative Activities.
Patriotic societies nullify their own
Usefulness when they attempt to in
fluence legislation on subjects entirely
foreign to their particular fields, Rep
resentative Royal C. Johnson tpf South
Dakota, declared last night at the an
nual banquet and ladies’ night of the
District of Columbia Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution, held in the
Mayflower Hotel.
The speaker stressed the importance
of the work being done by the various
patriotic societies and the wide influence
they can exert so long as they limit
themselves strictly to the objects for
which they were formed.
He added that, had the great number
Of patriotic societies of today existed in
1916, we might either have kept out of
the World War altogether, or gone into
it with an Army and Navy twice as
large as was the case, insuring a quick
triumph.
President Robert C. Tracy presided
and introduced representatives of other
organizations who presented greetings,
these Included.
Miss Helen Harman, State regent,
District of Columbia Daughters of the
American Revolution; Mrs. Noble New
port Potts, president of the National
patriotic Council; Mrs. Samuel Shaw

Revolution; Mrs. David D. Caldwell,

Vesuvius Display
Without Lights
Stumps Scientists
Lack of Usual Glow in
Crater at Night Starts
Inquiry. *
By the Associated Press.
NAPLES, Italy, January 21.—An
cient Vesuvius presented a new problem
| to scientists today after fresh growlings
and explosions last night.
The problem is, Why has Vesuvius’
light gone out?
No one was hurt by last night’s dem
onstration, which consisted of a light
earthquake shock and loud explosive
noises and rumblings underground.
As soon as the explosions ceased the
crater, which always has been aglow at
night by internal fires, had become cold
dark, and remained that way. Scien
tists today began an investigation to
determine why.
An observatory, a military police bar
racks, a convent, a railroad and a hotel
on the volcano's side “danced,” reports
said, during the disturbance, but re
mained upright. Their quajeeproof
construction saved them, observers said.
The motion of the movement was per
pendicular and they were actually
lifted up and set down again. Many of
the accupants were asleep at the time,
but they vacated the buildings after
ward and huddled on the mountain,
wondering what the raspy old hill
would do next.
Attendants at the observatory worked
through the night, but learned little
except that the epicenter of the quake
was within or under the mountain and
it apparently affected only a small
area.
The rumblings continued two hours.
BLANTON DEMANDS
I
1 . I
Asks House Conferees to In
sist on Fund Which Sen
ate Cut to $50,000.
Demand upon the House conferees on
the deficiency appropriation bill that
they insist on retaining in the bill the
$250,000 item which the House approved
for the George Washington Bicenten
nial Commission and which the Senate
has reduced by $50,000, was made in
the House yesterday by Representative
Thomas L. Blanton, Democrat, of Texas
The House had previously trimmed
$177,000 from the budget estimates for
the Bicentennial Commission.
Representative Blanton reminded his j
colleagues that Representative Bloom
had “very ably defended an item in this
deficiency bill on the floor of the House
against all assaults. This w'ent to the
Senate,” he explained, “and they did
a very unusual thing, something I have
never known them to do before—they
reduced the amount of this appropria
tion.” As the House overwhelmingly
supported Mr. Bloom, the Texan asked
Chairman Byrns of the House Appro
priations .Committee what the attitude
of'the House conferees would be.
Chairman Byrns replied that "the at
titude of the conferees would be to
sustain the action of the House in
appropriating the $250,000, I can assure
you.” He said “that the conferees will
do all they can to sustain what they
believe to be the sentiment of the House
with reference to this and all other
amendments.”
