Legislative "Drys" intend to launch a major offensive next week to obtain passage of the State Prohibition Enforcement bills, according to an an. nouncement today by Assemblvman Edmund B.

Roosevelt, "to see what he'll do it," Is militating In favor of the "tirys' proposed big nush." On the other hand the "Drys" have a knotty problem In the form of a disinclination on the part of some tepid legislative supporters to go to bat on the proposals, on the ground that President-elect Herbert Hoover is pledged to a study of the wnoie ronwiuon prooiem. "Dry" leaders are not paying mucn attention to mat pnase of the situation, however, for they claim a majority In the Assembly as well as a fighting chance in the Senate. "We can pass the proposals In Codes Committee with the presence of a full committee membership at a session," said Assemblyman. Jenks to emphasize the fact that a move to place the bills before the Lower House is only awaiting the return next week of Assemblyman Walter S. Gedney of Rockland County, who has been confined to a hospital here through injuries sustained in a fall.

With the passage of the bills In the Lower House, according to As semblyman Jenks, the real battle' ground will shift to the Senate. CLAESSENS DESCRIBES SELF- ISHNEESS.

Dunne, before whom an award of 8275,000 was made for land In Queens assessed at $7,000 In 1925 an award which Acting Mayor Joseph V. McKee yesterday called "scandalous declared today that this award Is only tentative, that objections have been filed by both sides and a hearing will bo held on them on April 1.

"I have no desire to enter into a controversy with Mr. McKee on tha subject," said the Judge. "He is a very ciose iriena oi mine. The matter came up in the ordinary course of business, and objections were filed and will be heard." Land Needed for Street Openings. The Dronertv in nnpst.lnn nn Prince between 37th nve nnri 40th Queens, is to be acquired by the city in condemnation pro-ceedlnrs for street openings.

The- assessment was made in 1925. Assistant Corporation Counsel Joseph J. Matthews of the Queens Street Openings Bureau said today: ine ngure is erroneous. I do not recall the exact figure, but I am sure it is very much in excess of $7,000. There were 27 parcels of land taken and not one, as was to be Inferred from what Mr.

McKee said. We have nothing to shrink from in this proceeding. I assume the disposition to be made of the objections which have been filed will depend on what the Board of Estimate does with the petition to widen the area of assessment and thus lighten the burden of individual property owners In the vicinity." Mr. McKee said today he would take no further action until he gets the report on the matter asked for from the Corporation Counsel. WEATHER FORECAST Local Probabilities.

Favors Anglo-Saxon Stock. The future additions to the dod ulation of the United States, it is claimed, would thus be in the same ratio as the racial stock already nere. xne racial complexion of the country would be preserved. The "national origins" provision would result in a great increase In Eng lish immigration, and a correspond ing decrease in Teutonic, Irish and Scandinavian.

Of the total number of immigrants from all Europe, Great Britain and northern Ireland would contribute almost 50 percent, This is an issue which, it is obvious, is most unpopular with- members of Congress whose constitu encies are not of English or at least Angio-saxon origin. Most of the great patriotic organizations of the United States are sponsoring it. It is charged that opposition to it is irom "nypnenated groups, con. gress has twice postponed its appll cation, and Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota is now leading a fight, thus far fruitless, to have a third postponement.

Under the driving spirit of Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, however, the Senate Committee on Immigration has refused to report out a third postponement. Opposes National Origins System. Herbert Hoover does not believe in the "national origins" system. In his speech of acceptance he declared against it.

The new system would unquestionably favor immt grants of English' or Scottish origin. Mr. Hoover has pleaded in vain not to have such a provision put Into effect, but the chances are that despite his opposition he will be compelled to proclaim it a law on ADril 1. Thereafter, of course, he could attempt to have this act repealed at the forthcoming extra session of Congress, in time to prevent its application on July 1 next. There is some discussion of Mr.

HoovenJ asking for an opinion of the Attor ney General as to whether the pro vision is mandatory. The issue is full of political dynamite, and mem bers of both houses are very tired of it. It is said that two-thirds of the House and at least one-half of the Senate would be glad to get rid of it tor an time. Tomorrow "The Problem of Farm Relief." tate, mora than 110.000.

Ex-Maharajah's Daughter Christened Amid Pomp Pari3, March 1 UP) The Paris edition of the New York Herald today says the name Sharada Raje Holkar has been bestowed upon the flve-weeks-old daughter of the former Maharajah of Indore and his wife, the former Nancy Miller of Seattle.

The christening was accompanied with all the pomp and ceremonial of the Hindu rites. The south wing of the castle at St. Germain was transformed into a temple for the occasion. that you come to the conclusion that some of these folks don't even know that this is the Inaugural They think it's ChrlstmasI Wandering from hotel to hotel we learned that by Saturday night a billiard table will be- the equivalent of a double room; that albeit parties are in progress in every available nook, cranny and corner, there isn't at this writing, enough general so-called "night life" to stretch out into a full paragraph. The Para-dis, which you pronounce as though there weren't an in It at all, was once the place to see and be seen In town, but at present the Paradls is suffering from a legal technicality.

Mrs. Mabel Walker Wlllebrandt thought out the technicality all by herself. It seems that the Paradls wasn't Mrs. Wille-brandt's favorite night haunt. Not that it violated the Prohibition amendment.

It didnt. But, like any one of seven thousand night clubs we know about, the Paradis did go so far as to serve White Rock, Ginger Ale and cracked ice, on order. Whoopiteers Go Elsewhere. Whereupon, the redoubtable Mrs. Willebrandt came along and hung a nice, shiny new padlock on it, the charge being compounding a felony.

Hence since the demise of the Paradls the Inaugural Whoopiteers have recourse only to the Chanticleer, which is another night club, and the hotels, which are political as anything but not too gay. Nor does it look as though the folks who have traveled here from the far corners of the country for the Inaugural Ceremony are going to be treated to too grand a theatrical fare. A stock company is offering "Little Spitfire" at the National. At the Belasco theater, directly opposit? the White House and on the site of the Seward home (Seward was Secretary of State ufider Lincoln), another stock company Is offerins the musical opus, "The Blushing Bride," with Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfleld as guest stars this week, and Joe Cook and Margaret Anglin as gHest stars next- week. Forgive us if our enthusiasm doesn't run away with us.

Oyez, and in the tiny theater in the Wardman Park Hotel, the ever-recurrent Mr. E. H. Sothern is giving a series of Shakesperean recitalsl Hey Hey! From there on it Is Just a matter of motion pictures, chop suey restaurants and trying to find Connecticut ave. again.

Ceremonial arrangements, otherwise, haven't progressed too raDidlv. or at least that is the way it appears to a slightly damp (externally) columnist. Dent on making the rounds on the hoof. Decorations are thus far consplcu ous by their absence; grandstands loom stark ana Duntingiess; tne excitement and tension and interest that 'have been promised are a little slow in making their appearance. Finds Way And so the columnist who event ually found Connecticut ave.

again we should have looked around N. W. 1st st in the first place-scuttled home and looked out of the window of an apartment that has been assigned to him (you have to be a member or congress 'to even stand In the lobby of a hotel) and he raved enthusiastically, albeit to himself, about what he saw. For he saw the dome of the Capitol bulking up like an eerie, alabaster ghost, revealed by the fog-dimmed floodlights below; he saw the Washington Monument poking a ghostly finger into the beyond the Washington Monument that looks like the great-grandfather of all the Obelisks he's ever seen; and he saw the kinky-headed bellhop's face light up as though it were the sun, at the mere promise of a to be paid in return for the ncaring up of a single, solitary, anemic sandwich, source unknown. And in the lobby we learned that all bellhops are named (leorge; all bootblacs are named George, and all elevator operators are named George, the latter, Just for contrast.

And Just as we stepped into the elevator we saw four nen who looked like H. L. Mencken. What more is there to lay? FtaKle Oanaa, Colorado Building. By RIAN JAMES.

Washington, March 1 A million dim lights twinkle through a murky haze. Wet pavements glisten dully In the lamplight. A chill fog settles on the town. Venturing forth into the wet murkiness of a strange city last night, an itinerant columnist discovers that Washington is a pretty placid place for a city with an In auguration only four days off. Stepping out enthusiastically, and Just as If he knew where he was going, he finds that Connecticut which happens to be the street that he was percolating along at the moment, suddenly peters off in to no-place; that restaurants here in a wanderer might do things to a ravishing appetite, take in then doormats and put their silver in the safe when the clock strikes that District of Columbia license plates are an esthetic orange on a background of black, and that all Washlngtonians don wear Wil liam Jennings Bryan headgear.

Pressing his quest, and forgetting restaurants for the nonce, he notes that carpenters have already been at work converting shop windows along 15th facing the Treasury Building, into miniature grand stands; that the reviewing stands thus far constructed are pretty bare, undraped and ghostly; and that a Washington drizzle is Just as tough on your shoeshine, for all of Its po litical aspects, as tne Kind at nome in Brooklyn. Few "Choice" Seats Left. Last night, 'as you have already undoubtedly suspected, things were fairly quiet. Naive gentlemen tootled around the lobbies of the Wardman-Park and the Mayflower hotels, offering a few remaining grandstand seats at prices ranging from 14 to a per eacn. Ana ne likes your face, one ambitious chap will let you have a whole window to yourself, on the 10th story of an office building above the line of march, for a mere $16 American money.

At these same hotels cabinet officers. Senators, secretaries and assistant secretaries are making farewell whoopee. Parties are in progress In every available private dining room and the good sena torlal Sergeant-at-Arms, we learn, Is aearlng nis Hair, in iact, so intent have the aforementioned gentlemen of the Senate been on saving farewell properly, ana over a festive board, that it has already been necessary for the Serjeant-at- Arms to issue warrants commanding their presence. But, after all, who can blame tnese representa tives of the peepul. It won't be lonj now! And while parties pop, Dr.

James M. Doran, Prohibition Commissioner is busy drying up the town as sort of a welcome gesture to Mr. Hoover. So you see, even ir the residents of Washington aren't allowed to vote, the benefit is theirs Just the same. Inasmuch as Dr.

Doran estimates the number of Washlngtonian speakeasies as being somewhere between three and four hundred, and the political bootleg gers as numbering that many thousand, it doesn't much look as though the good Doctor will be out of the trenches, so to speaK, until long after Christmas. Pennsylvania Ave. Polished. Pennsylvania broad as vaudeville lnuendo, and looking a lot like the Champs Elysees cf Paris or rather the way the Champs Elysee would look if it wasn't lined with chestnut trees-is being all upholstered for the oc casion, too. The fortune tellers and the Chinese art dealers that infest it from the Union Station to the shadow of the Capitol have been routed temporarily.

The Salvation Army station has taken on a hoity- toltier look and the filth-rate lintels that abound there are easily letting out their window space at a mere $100 per window. it is when you price one of these sixth-floor rear rooms without bath opposed. It is mandatory on the President, unless Congress further Intervenes, to Issue a proclamation on April 1, which will bring the "national origins" provision of the Immigration act of 1924 Into force on July 1. Hoover Favors a Repeat Although he was once in favor of this method of quota determination, the incoming President now believes that the census of 1890 carries out the essential principle of the Immigration law, and he favors a repeal of that part of the act calling for a new basis of quotas. This is an issue of which much has been heard, and on which there will be further debate in the future.

At the time when the Immigration act of 1924 was passed, it was provided that about 150,000 immigrants from all Europe should be admitted each year and that quotas for each country should be established on the basis of the census, of 1890. National Origins Method. This, however, was a temporary expedient. The same act provided that the Census Bureau should compute the various racial strains in the United States as of 1920, and that on July 1, 1927, this "national origins" method should supersede the 1890 census as a basis for determining quotas. The Census Bureau then set about to ascertain what proportion of the population is of English, German, Scandinavian, Russian, Italian and other extraction.

In due time an estimate was produced. It involved computing or Judging the racial origins of all who had come to the United States from the time of John Smith and Hendrik Hudson to 1920. The three Cabinet members who transmitted it to Congress, among them Mr. Hoover, expressed the opinion that "the statistical and historical information available raises grave doubts as to the whole value of these computations." May Go Into Effect In July. This statement administered a blow to the "national origins" idea, and Congress In February, 1927, postponed the application of the new system from July 1, 1927, to July 1, 1928.

In February, 1928, the provision was again postponed for a year. The situation now is that "national origins" has been postponed twice, but that it will go into effect on July 1, next, unless there should be further postponement. Both the census of 1890 and the "national origins" system limit the number of immigrants to 150,000 per annum. Between the two systems, however, there Is a great practical difference because the quotas of certain nationalities would undergo sweeping adjustments. The proposal Is not to admit more immigrants, but to admit more from some countries and fewer from others.

Aliens Admitted. A few simple tables will explain the issue. At present the following WILLS FILED COHEN, JFNNIB 8. (Jan. 17).
