MAJOR OFFENSIVE PLANNED BY DRYS FOR JENKS BILLS Leaders Claim Majority in Assembly and Chance in Senate on Measure. Eagle Bureau, Capitol Building, Albany, March 1. Legislative "Drys" intend to launch a major offensive next week to obtain passage of the State Prohibition Enforcement bills, according to an announcement today by Assemblyman Edmund B. Jenks, Republican, of Broome County, who is sponsoring the measures. A known disposition of some "lukewarm Wets" to adopt an enforcement plan for the purpose of leaving it in the lap of Gov.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, "to see what he'll do it," is militating in favor of the "Drys' proposed "big push." 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 whole Prohibition problem. "Dry" leaders are not paying much attention to that phase 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 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 Assemblyman Jenks, the real battleground will shift to the Senate. CLAESSENS DESCRIBES SELFISHNEESS. Selfishness, ever since man has existed, has been understood to be an evil, but if only used in the proper way could be made into a powerful good, according to former Assemblyman August Claessens, who is now executive secretary of the Socialist party, in his talk on "Selfishness- -a Study on Human Nature." before a large audience last night in the auditorium of the Y.

(AP) The Paris edition of the New York Herald today says the name Sharada Raje Holkar has been bestowed upon the five-weeks-old daughter of the former Maharajah of Indore and his wife, the former Nancy Miller of Seattle.

By RIAN JAMES.

in Brooklyn. Few "Choice" Seats Left. 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 Inauguration 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 into no-place; that restaurants wherein a wanderer might do things to a ravishing appetite, take in their 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 Washingtonians don't wear William 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 grandstands; 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 political aspects, as the kind at home 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 $4 to $7 per each.

And if he 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 Senatorial Sergeant we learn, is his hair. In fact, so intent have the aforementioned gentlemen of. the Senate been on saying farewell properly, and over a festive board, that it has already been necessary for the Sergeant-atArms to issue warrants commanding their presence.

But, after all, who can blame these representatives of the peepul. It won't be long 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 if the residents of Washington aren't allowed to vote, the benefit is theirs just the same. Inasmuch as Dr. Doran estimates the number of Washingtonian speakeasies as being somewhere between three and four hundred, and the political bootleggers as numbering that many thousand, it doesn't much look as though the good Doctor will be out of the trenches, to speak, until long after Christmas.

DEATHS BORROWER GETS SIX-MONTH TERM William F. McCarthy, 34, who gave his address as the Hotel St. George, was sentenced to six months in the workhouse in Gates ave. court today on a charge of vagrancy. The complainant was Charles Shield, assistant manager of the National Casket Company, 205 Ashland who charged that McCarthy told him last Saturday he was an embalmer from Pittsburg and tried to borrow some money.

McCarthy was unable to produce credentials and Shield had him arrested. Probation Officer Harry Bernhard reported that McCarthy got acquainted with Miss May Scharz, 20, of Clifton, N. at a Manhattan dance hall, proposed marriage, and finally "borrowed" $115 toward the purchase of a car. DUVEEN ATTORNEY SUMS UP AT TRIAL Sir Joseph Duveen, art dealer and defendant in a $500,000 slander-oftitle suit brought by Mrs. Andree Hahn, began today the final move in the defense of the statement made nine years ago that Mrs.

Hahn's portrait "La Belle Ferronnierre" was a copy of one of the same title by Leonardo da Vinci hanging in the Louvre. George W. Whiteside, Sir Joseph's chief counsel, opening his summation to the jury, declared that Mrs. Hahn must establish that her painting was painted between 1452 and 1519; that it was done by Leonardo da Vinci dthat there was malice behind Sir Joseph's statement printed in a newspaper and used as the basis for the lawsuit.

New Immigration Quotas May Be One of First Jobs To Get Hoover's Attention Must Issue Proclamation Bringing National Origins Act Into Force July 1 Unless Congress Intervenes and Postpones Application of System. (Fourth of Series of Ar ticles by Mr. Suydam on Phases and Problems Mr. Hoover Will Face.) Eagle Bureau, Colorado Building. By HENRY SUYDAM.

Washington, March 1-Unless Congress, in its closing hours, should vote to postpone the "National Origins" act until July 1, 1930, one of President will be the proclamation gration quotas, to which he opposed. It is mandatory on the President, unless Congress further intervenes, to issue a proclamation April 1, which will bring "national origins" provision of the Immigration act of 1924 into force on July 1. Hoover Favors a Repeal. 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.

Wandering that from hotel to hotel learned 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 SOcalled "night life" to stretch out into a full paragraph. The Paradis, 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 Paradis is suffering from a legal technicality. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt thought out the technicality all by herself.

It seems that the Paradis wasn't Mrs. Willebrandt's favorite night haunt. Not that it violated the Prohibition amendment. It didn't. 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 Paradis 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 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 opposite the White House and on the site of the Seward home (Seward was Secretary of State under Lincoln). another stock company is offering the musical opus, "The Blushing Bride," with Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfield as guest stars this week, and Joe Cook and Margaret Anglin as guest stars 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.

Ceremonial arrangements, otherwise, haven't progressed too rapidly, or at least that is the way it appears to a slightly damp (externally) columnist, bent an making the rounds on the hoof.

Decorations are thus far conspicuous by their absence; grandstands loom stark and buntingless; the excitement and tension and interest that have been promised are a little slow in making their appearance. Finds Way we should have looked around N. W. 1st in the first placescuttled home and looked out of the window of an apartment that has been assigned to him (you have to be a member of Congress to even stand in the lobby of a hotel) and he raved enthusiastically, albeit himself, about what he saw. For he saw the dome of the Capitol bulking up like an eerie, alabaster ghost, revealed by the fogdimmed floodlights below; he saw the Washington Monument poking a ghostly finger into the beyondthe 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 dollar, to be paid in return for the scaring up of a single, solitary, anemic sandwich, source unknown.

And in the lobby we learned that all bellhops are named George; all bootblac.s 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 men who looked like H. L. Mencken, What more is there to say? And so the columnist who eventually found Connecticut ave. again Herbert Hoover's first duties as of a new system of immi- number of aliens are admitted from some of the principal European countries: Germany .51,227 England, Free Scotland, northern Ireland.34,007 Sweden .28,567 Norway 6,453 Under the "national origins" systam, the following would be admitted: Germany .24,906 England, Scotland, northern Ireland.65,894 Free .17,427 Sweden 3,399 Norway 4,050 In other words, under the "national origins" system, Great Britain would gain 31,887 immigrants per annum, while Germany would lose 26,319, Irish Free State 11,140, Sweden 6,162, and Norway 4,050.

Favors Anglo-Saxon Stock. The future additions to the population of the United States, it is claimed, would thus be in the same ratio as the racial stock already here. The racial complexion of the country would be preserved. The "national origins" provision would result in a great increase in lish immigration, and a corresponding 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 constituencies are not of English or at least Anglo-Saxon origin. Most of the great patriotic organizations of the United States are sponsoring it. It is charged that opposition to it is from "hyphenated" groups. Congress has twice postponed its application, 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 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 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 April 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. Hoover asking for an opinion of the Attorney General as to whether the vision is mandatory. The issue is full of political dynamite, and members 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 for all time. Problem of Farm Relief." tate, more than $10,000. To Margaret ReyI nolds, daughter, 2 Hinckley James E. Stapleton, son, 1049 E. 29th Helen Heathcote, daughter, Thomasville, N.

"I have no desire to enter into a controversy with Mr. McKee on the subject," said the judge. "He is a very close friend of mine. The matter came up in the ordinary course of business, and objections were filled and will be heard." Land Needed for Street Openings.

The property in question, on Prince between 37th ave. and 40th Queens, is to be acquired by the city in condemnation proceedings for street openings. The $7,000 assessment was made in 1925. Assistant Corporation Counsel Joseph J. Matthews of the Queens Street Openings Bureau said today: "The $7,000 figure 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 Local Probabilities. Fair tonight and Saturday. Warmer Saturday. Moderate shifting winds becoming southwest.
