DF 3,000 TO W. P. A.
Street Announces Change
On Six-Month Staff for
Certification.
Certification of 3,000 unemployed
employables to W. P. A. rolls will be
accomplished as speedily as possible
under the Commissioners’ new emer
gency relief program. Elwood Street,
director of Public Welfare, announced
today.
Original plans to appoint a certifica
tion staff for six months with $25,000
diverted by the Commissioners from
a transient relief fund have been dis
carded because of the emergency,
Street said
The Civil Sendee Commission is be
ing asked, Street said, to supply an
emergency staff comprising eight "in
take” secretaries, four supervisors, 24
ease workers, 12 stenographer-typists
and 12 registration clerks to work until
July 1.
May Ask Agreement Be Waived.
Should the commission encounter
any delay in finding eligibles it will
be asked to waive its recent agreement
with the District Government and
allow appointment of qualified candi
dates outside the civil sendee register.
Earlier in the day the Commis
sioners received assurances from the
newly created “Citizens' Committee
for the Unemployed” that their
emergency relief efforts wdll have the
whole-hearted support of District
citizens.
Canon Anson Phelps Stokes, of
Washington Cathedral, was appointed
chairman of the committee, succeeding
Coleman Jennings, temporary chair
man, who is leaving soon for Europe.
The committee urged the Com
missioners to increase the amount of
the $130,000 deficiency relief appro
priation which they have requested
to $170,000. This amount, with the
$30,000 made available from reserve
welfare funds, represents the mini
mum necessary to aid unemployed
wage earners and their families during
May and June, the committee pointed
out.

mittee meeting, Canon Stokes said the
response of the Commissioners to reso
lutions adopted at the mass meeting
is “most gratifying." He added:
“The Commissioners may be as
sured of the public support of our
committee in aopealing to the Federal
Bureau of the Budget and to Congress.
The committee will also help in trying
to better co-ordinate the work of
public and private relief agencies. As
I have before stated, we are not ask
ing for favors, but merely for the
power which Congress alone can give
us to care as a municipality for our
unemployed. If this means the ne
cessity of some additional taxation, we
should not object.
“Hunger, suffering and demoraliza
tion must be prevented now at all
hazards before it Is too late and
while there is still a chance of rehabil
itating most of the sufferers and mak
ing them capable of self-support. Any
further action would prove a bad in
vestment from the point of view of
our future citizenship and of pur
future municipal bill for the care of
the dependent. I am delighted that
the Commissioners of the District seem
to take this view.”
First Trains Horse Drawn.
The first two railroads in the coun
try, the Quincy Railroad of Massa
chusetts and the Mauch Chunk Rail
road of Pennsylvania, both dating
from the year 1827, used horse power
and not locomotives.
Beatty Faces New York Charge
Of Beating Lions and Tigers
at me Associated rress.
NEW YORK, April 8 —Clyde Beatty,
who is pretty well knbwn for the stunts
he does with animals, had a date in
West Side Court today to answer a
charge of "cruelty to lions and tigers.”
E. H. "Doc” Partello, manager of the
circus with which Beatty Is appearing,
said the trainer would plead guilty and
pay whatever fine is required.
Beatty was arrested yesterday by
Jacob Jacobs, 62-year-old Inspector for
the Humane Society of New York.
I warned him six or eight times that
he would hpve to stop beating those
animals,” Jacobs said, “and that his
assistants would have to stop Jabbing
the lions and tigers with those long
poles as they come down the chute
into the cage.”
Beatty made r»o comment except to
say that in 14 years of animal train
ing, he had been arrested only once.
That was two years ago, in Pittsburgh.
MORE PEACE TALKS
URGED BY THOMAS
Frequent International Confer
ences Proposed to Academy
of Political Science.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April Senator
Elbert D. Thomas, Democrat, o 1 Utah,
last night urged more frequent Inter
national conferences on world problems
as a means of insuring peace.
"We—all nations together,” he said,
"would do well to require one another
to (peak frankly upon our armament
need*, to tell others frankly that which
we report among ourselves covertly,
how many guns, ships, airplanes we
need and for what purpose.
“We Americans who have sometimes
scoffed at mere international conver
sations, saying we are built for action
and not for words, see our Industrial
ists and our labor leaders talking across
the table, liking It and getting some
where.
“It Is not possible that we have
traveled toward peace on a wide, wide
path, every time we have conversed
with our neighbors, and that more and
more frequent conversations will take
us within sight of the broad highway?”
Senator Thomas was one of a dozen
speakers who exchanged Ideas at- {he
semi-annual meeting of the Acadsmy
of Political Science on world problems
and what part the United States
should play in their solution.
Ancient Japanese Decree.
Japan's militarists today call atten
tion to the imperial rescript of Em
peror Jtmmu Tenno, founder of the
present dynaslr, who is said to have
reigned 2,602 years ago, as warrant
to their claim for more and more ships
and more and more arms. “We shall
build our capital (the old rescript
runs) all over the world, and make the
whole world our dominion.”
