No period of history covers more rapid or greater progress than the past half century and your synopsis of it, from the standpoint of a great newspaper in the Capital of the greatest Nation of the world, is a real and vita) contributicn to newspaper history. I have reac it with the ut- most appreciation. Witn my very best wishes for a continuance of your splendid service and my renewed congratulations, I am, Very sincerely yours, NICHOLAS LONGWORTH.

SOL BLOOM, Member of Congress. Zihiman Commends Work. Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, | of Maryland, chairman of the House | committee on the District of Colum- | bia—The fiftieth anniversary number of |The Washington Post is a treasure of romance and history. I anticipate many pleasant hours in its company. Representative Finis J. Garrett, Dem- ocratic leader of the House of Repre- sentatives—The anniversary edition of The Post is exceedingly interesting and evidences an enterprise which merits hearty commendation. As a Democrat, of course, I wish The Post might re- turn to the purpose which marked its initiative half a century ago and be- come once more the brilliant ex- political and social progress of the city during the half century seems to me to by all. Postmaster General Harry S. New— It was a very creditable edition and a worthy recognition of The Post’s semi- centennial. A great newspaper with 50 years of life behind it and everything to guar- antee a healthy and robust future 1s, to my mind, the most attractive piece of property in the world, and I con- gratulate The Post. Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wil- bur—It is a fine edition of historical importance. serve a most useful purpose, and the | number should be read with interest | pounder of Democratic principles and policies. It has the brillfance in high | measure. I simply wish my party might have the benefit of it. Representative Thomas L. Blanton, of Texas, Democratic member of the House committee on the District of Columbia—A marvelous edition, and one that should be of great historical value. ; Proctor L. Dougherty, president of the Board of District Commissioners—It was a commendable enterprise for The Post to present in such compiete form the history of the Capital City since the paper came into being. I shall preserve my copy and value it highly for refer- ence. . It is an inspiration to glean its pages Educational, Work Comments. Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work-—-The commemorative edition of The Washington Post this morning is a striking portrayal of our national life during the last 50 years, of interest not only to the people of Washington but of the Nation as well. It has a real his-| torical and educational value. (Letter.) Dear Mr, McLean: Please accept my hearty congratulations for yourself and your associates not only on the comple- tion of a half century of public use- fulness by The Post but also on the excellent anniversary edition with which you have marked the occasion. The anniversary edition is most in- teresting and attractive and contains and observe the progress that has been made. I should be interested to live long enough to see a similar edition in another 50 years after the dreams of the men who are now Striving to make Washington great have come to realiza- tion. Ladue Expresses Pleasure. Col. William B. Ladue, Engineer Com- missioner—The National Capital has |had a very interesting past and it is well described in the anniversary num- ber of The Post. If one who has not lived through the scenes so vividly described can find as much enjoyment in reading it as I did, how much more there must be in it for old residents. Commissioner Sidney F. Taliaferro— It will furnish food for discussion for a vast amount of valuable information as to the growth of the city and your | newspaper. It demonstrates the enter- prise and effectiveness of The Post. With best wishes for many more years of growth and achievement, I remain, * Sincerely yours, W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture. Capper Praises Edition. (Letter.) My dear Mr. McLean—I am truly amazed by the fiftieth anniversary number of The Washington Post. It ls in every way worthy of the tradi- tions of a newspapes that has won its way to the front ranks of the press of America. The sections devoted to illustrations are among the most interesting and historically valuable that I have ever seen, and the textual matter is not only worth reading but worth preserving as the record of the development of the Nation and its Capital City during the past half century. In addition, the advertisements appearing in this spe- cial edition are of a character giving striking evidence of the growth and progress of the Nation. As a publisher, I have nothing but admiration for the intelligent con- ception and fine execution of the plan of the fiftieth anniversary number. It is a fitting expression of the vitality and power for public good of The Washington Post. Very respectfully, ARTHUR CAPPER, United States Senator. Wonderful, Says Curtis. Senator Charles Curtis, of Kansas, Republican leader of the Senate—A wonderful edition. Congratulations to The Post. (Letter.) My dear Mr. McLean—Permit me on behalf of the German Embassy to ex- tend to you sincere felicitations on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the distinguished organ edited and pub- lished by you, The Washington Post. As records show, this embassy has been a subscriber to The Post almost since the foundation, and members of the embassy staff have during that time not only reaped great benefit for their work from the news distributed and the editorial comments offered by your sev but have enjoyed its other mani- ° Tae ld features as a valuable addition to the amenities of Washington life. For this we beg to express our sincerest thanks, and, in congratulating you and our distinguished collaborators of The ’s staff on the great progress hith- erto attained, to wish you most hear- tily for the future all success due to men about town for many a day. Cit- les, like persons, have their own in- dividualities and the spirit of Washing- ton was caught and depicted with un- erring skill. Daniel E. Garges, secretary to the Board of Commissioners—I am contem- porary with much of the material in today’s anniversary edition. Reading about past events stirs many memories. I expect to bury myself in the pages of the paper for many an evening. Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, Assistant to the Engineer Commissioner—There were many valuable photographs in it. Noth- ing impresses one with history and the progress of a community so much as pictures. Valuable as is the text, the illustrations, I think, are more valuable. (Letter.) To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Per- mit me to extend to you most cordial cangratulations’on the occasion of the great anniversary which The Post is celebrating. Your many friends join with you in celebrating this event. With renewed felicitations, I am, Sincerely yours, . L. S. ROWE, Director General, Pan-American Union. Word Picture of “ apital. Letter. To the Editor of the Post—Sir: The fiftieth anniversary number of The Washington Post is a veritable treasury of the outstanding incidents of the past half century. There is a ring of truth in its pages that will enable the stu- dent to place implicit faith in the local history it recites. It is really a word picture of Washington growing in its many phases of life from a town to a mietropolitan city. The principal of any school may well preserve its many illuminating pages, for future reference, and rest secure that it is an authoritative source of fact. The boy or girl who reads this issue of The Post will feel a just pride in being a member of the citizenry of so progressive a city. HARRY O. HINE, Secretary of the Board of Education. Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant 3d, director of the office of Public Buildings and *ub- lic Parks—It has a great de: *' of histor- ical value from our standpoint and will be of great value to us. Postmaster William M. Mooney—lIt is the most wonderful piece of newspaper work I ever saw. ; Berliner Sends Congratulations. 2 (Telegram.) Ecward B. McLean, The Washington Post Congratulations. Having lived here 4 fifty-seven years, I have seen The Post gtow from a small beginning to its present position of distinguished emi- nence. EMIL BERLINER. Robert V. Fleming, president of the Riggs National Bank—The Riggs Na- tional Bank congratulates the Washing- ton Post on its outstanding achieve- ment in producing the Jubilee Number, which is a most interesting and valu- able contribution to the history of Washington. We feel that The Post, which has been such a help#ul factor in promot- ing the progress of our city during the past 50 years, may well be proud of its record, and we extend. our best wishes for every continued success. Wade H. Cooper, president of the Continental Trust Co., and of the United States Savings Bank—A proper recording in sequence is a prime factor in the writing of history; such a record of 50 years in the life of the District of Columbia as is chronicled in the Jubilee Number marking the Fiftieth Anniversary of the birth of the Wash- ington Post, is a matter of prime news importance. The Post is to be congratu- lated on its outstanding news achieve- ments in its 50 years of daily publica- tion as well as for its editorial as- sistance in the upbuilding of what we have come to believe is one of the greatest cities of all time. Epochal Work, Says Larner. John B. Larner, president of the Washington Loan & Trust Co.—An epochal achievement in journalism and remarkable contribution to current news and current history of 50 years in the Nation’s Capital. Written by authorities, the stories are an interest- ing compilation of changes wrought in the five decades of urban to metro- politan expansion intriguing the read- ers’ attention. The Post is to be congratulated on today’s edition. Probably the greatest testimonial to its success will be the amount of time spent by men and women in its perusal. John Poole, president of the Federal- American National Bank-—The early vision of The Washington Post in con- ceiving the greatness of the Nation's Capital and its earnest advocacy of the city aS a place in which to live has done much to bring Washington out of the pioneer days into the substantial present. Fearless in its editorial pages and leading the way in suggesting national and domestic policies to be followed, The Washington Post has been a factor in its 50 years of activity in the up- building of Washington. A proud rec- ord of achievement is unfolded in the pages of the Jubilee Number, and The Washington Post is to be congratulated upon its Fiftieth Anniversary. Idttle wonder that such faith as has been shown by The Washington Post in the city for which it speaks daily, has been reflected in the growth of our financial institutions, which today record total resources of more than $313,600,000. Harry V. Haynes, president of the Farmers and M¢chanics National Bank: “From the early days of Stilson Hutchins through to the present aggressive days of Edward Beale McLean, The Washing- ton Post has been a factor in the up- building of the District of Columbia. “Those of us who are connected with financial institutions whose history dates back to earlier days than the 50 years of The Washington Post, realize perhaps more than anyone else, as we scan the minutes of the early history of the institution over which we pre- side, what a large part in the upbuild- ing of our great city has been the share of The Washington Post. “As the presiding officer of the third oldest bank of Washington, I congratu- late the splendid morning paper on this, its fiftieth anniversary of useful- ness to a great city, a usefulness that has been observed by every officer of this bank since the Washington Post came into existence.” W. C. Miller, president of the Wash- ington Real Estate Board—lI heartily congratulate and indorse the spirit of The Washington Post in publishing an edition marking its fiftieth anniversary in the National Capital. The edition is historically very interesting. Marvelous, Maury Comments. John F. Maury, past presdent of the Washington Real Estate Board—That was a marvelous and interesting edition you had out this morning. It must have been a stupendous task to do that amount of work. The Post is to be heartily congratulated on its anniver- ry. James P, Schick, executive secretary, Washington Real Estate Board—I heartily congratulate The Washington Post on its Jubilee edition. It was a tremendous surprise to the community, and shows a most progressive spirit on the part of The Post. The voluminous matter was historically extremely in- teresting. Wonderful Issue, Says Gordon, Maj. Peyton Gordon, United States attorney for the District—-A wonderful issue. I think that The Washington Post has done a magnificent thing by celebrating its fiftieth rae pe bagel by a re- v archives of those who of the city at heart. My congratulations to Mr. Edward B. McLean, the editor, and to those who assisted in the writ- ing and compiling. Edgar C. Snyder, United States mar- shal for the District—As one newspa- per man would say to another, “Great work!” The anniversary issue exceeded my expectations, It is one of the greatest historical works I have ever attempted to read—and I am goirg to a 5 x y 2 * p ce “ ./_- , ; ¥ } es ae yt " Pe EEA ae be : at : é 7 + * Wy NUMBER ; es : dent of the chamber. HONORED BY TRAD CHAMBER AND BAND Boy’s Organization Serenades Workers Passing Out Fiftieth Birthday Numbers. | | COMMERCE BODY SENDS GREETINGS ON OCCASION | | Police Detail Holds Up Traffic | While Concert Is in Progress. Birthday geetings in music and words were extended to The Post last night on its fiftieth anniversary. The first honor came when the Wash- ington Boys’ Independent Band gave a serenade in front of The Post Building, and the second came when the board of directors of the Washington Chamber of Commerce, meeting at its headquar- ters in the Homer Building, adopted by @ unanimous vote a resolution congrat- ulating The Post. The resolution was offered by Ivan C. Weld, first vice presi- Jeanne » Gordon’s Led by their 13-year-old bandmaster, Clinton J. Brown, jr., the members of the Boys’ Band played three selections, including the “Activity March” and the “T. O. H. Band March,” and played them with a verve which has come to char- acterize the concerts whenever the band plays. Playing for less then 15 minutes, the juvenile organization attracted a crowd of hundreds, many of whom were on their way to the office of The Post to obtain extra copies of the special edition with which the newspaper ob- served the fiftieth anniversary of its founding. A detail of policemen was on hand and held up traffic while the concert was in progress. In their brilliant biue and gold uni- forms, the 75 members of the band presented a study in contrast, the contrast of the finished music which they produced with their youth and diminutive stature. One youngster, scarcely three feet in height, stood in the front rank and played powerfully on a minute saxophone. Behind him stood a youth a little larger, struggling manfully with a huge bass horn. Trade Chamber to Study Diploma Mill Measures Proposed amendments to the District code designed to eliminate so-called “diploma mills” and questionable edu- cational institutions from operating in the District of Columbia, evoked so much discussion last night at a meet- ing of the board of directors of the Washington Chamber of Commerce that the board decided to refer the matter back to the committee on universities for further consideration. The proposed amendment provided, in brief, that the Board. of Education be empowered with authority to ap- prove or reject applications for licenses for educational institutions, and if a license is granted the board be charged to see that the institution properly per- forms its duty. This provision was pro- tested vigorously, as well as others in the proposed bill, by Charles W. Darr and the Right Rev. Mer. C. F. Pace, of Catholic University, who felt that high- er education and colleges belong in a different field from that covered by the Board of Education. keep on reading it until I have fin- ished it. It is a pleasure which is hard to de- scribe to note the difference in the mechanical make-up of The Post of days gone by. Those who desire to know “Washington better, or to learn about “the good old days’ may consult the anniversary issue, but they should not wait. The issue is a masterpiece of modern journalism. Leo A. Rover, first assistant district attorney—The anniversary issue is an appropriate Christmas gift to the people of Washingon—even though ahead of time. I do not recall that I ever saw anything like it before, although I know Washington pretty well—that is, I thought I did before I glanced through The Post this morning. The issue is &@ great piece of work, and I do not belleve that any one outside of the boys on The Post realizes what a vast amount of work is involved, as a great many things have happened in the past 50 years. : Stephen B, Callahan, chief deputy United States marshal—We old-timers who think we have the town down pat, now have the opportunity to learn something. The anniversary issue is a document that will never be equaled, until The Post celebrates its 100th an- nivergary. Many of the pictures and stories in the issue are familiar to me as I roamed about Washington quite frequently in the old days when I was a constable. I shall treasure the anni- versary issue as a valuable souvenir. Frank E. Cunningham, clerk of the District Supreme Court—The anniver- Sary issue is a great public document. No person, who has taken, or expects to take, even a slight interest in the city should be without it. It is of im- portance to every attorney, to every business man, to every one who is wide awake. The issue should be preserved. ” too valuable to be forgotten or ost. Raymond Neudecker, assistant dis- trict attorney—I take a great deal of pride in the anniversary issue for sev- eral reasons. I was at one time on The Post staff of reporters. But not once did I ever imagine that so much valu- able data could be compiled into one issue.» The history of Washington, as recorded by The Post for the past 50 years, is as important to the City of Washington as the history of the United States is to the country as a whole. George Wales, Civil Service Commis- sioner—I think it isa wonderful produc- tion, an excellent work. Of course, I was personally interested in the com- plimentary references on pages three and eight to my foster brother, Robert M. Collins, who did some wonderful work on the early Post. First Issue Recalled. Mathew F. Halloran, contact repre- sentative of the Civil Service Commis- sion—In complimenting The Post on its remarkable fiftieth anniversary edi- tion, it may be of interest to note that I was present as a page in the House of Representatives in 1877, when the first copy of, The Post was placed on each Congressman’s desk. I remember distinctly hearing the hearty expres- sions of approval on its first appear- ance from the Congressmen of that y. It created much interest as a new morning paper and attracted consider- able attention. The favorable com- ment then made by the statesmen has been more than realized in its half century of high-class journalism. E. A. Schmitt, assistant United States district gineer—Material, pictures and documents are valuable as a record and the work was very well done. James D. Preston, superintendent of the Senate press gallery—The anni- versary number is worth reading and it is worth saving; and I am go- ing to do both. Everybody should read it.

LAURELS TO WREATH | ‘DOROTHY SPEARE ADDS Ovation Greets Ivantzoff; Paul Althouse Applauded for “Flower Song.” Bizet’s “Carmen,” a mosaic of musical masterpieces and jewels of song, was the medium last night through which the Washington National Opera Com- pany won its second notable success of its tenth anniversary week at Poli’s Theater. A quartet of principals, two women and two men, divided the honors of the opera among them, even as the com- poser had neatly balanced the musical beauties, dramatic force and appeal be- eo . wh Ss | a ‘ Me es s oS j i, all ee Ae - M . 3 ¥ ts aes ol > 2 he $2 -— iene ha Ys Y ot?

It was a new Carmen Jeanne Gor- don brought to us, a Carmen rather of the Mary Garden, than the Calve- Emmy Destinn—Geraldine Farrar school of this historic role. Miss Gordon did not entirely disdain the traditions of Carmen, but she added certain origi- nal touches of her own which gave dis- tinction and added charm to her por- trayal of the fiery cigarette girl of old Seville. In appearance Miss Gordon was an ideal Carmen. She displayed the coquetry, the whimsicalities and the fire and dash of spirit of the Castilian. Has Thorough Control of Voice. Miss Gordon’s voice is a very de- pendable organ, brilliant, sweet, with ample range and thorough control. The genius of this opera star was apparent in a variety of musical moods. Alike effective in the “Habanera” and the “Seguidilla,” she also sustained her full share of trios and duets and in the famous quintet was more than ade- quate. ; As she sang the “Habanera” with in- imitable grace and beauty of fone, that love song of Bohemia, whose strains are so bewitching that, with the “Tore- ador”’ song, it ever spells the opera “Carmen” to music lovers—one felt sure that here was another artist of song who could justly claim the title of Carmen. Miss Gordon gave this song of unique construction—the melody all within a single octave with half-tone intervals—the picturesque treatment it deserves in tones as soft as caresses, picturing all the exotic fascination of Old Spain. Yet the prima donna rose to the truest heights of her art in the death scene, one of the most tragic and mem- orable in grand opera. Her final duet with Don Jose, capably sung by Paul Althouse, kept the audience tense with the vocal beauty and the dramatic in- tensity of the singers. Orchestra Gives True Support. Throughout the opera the directors had maintained the tradition that “Carmen,” aside from its stirring ro- mance and fascinating music, is a veri- table series of stage pictures and lends itself easily to the spectacular. Color, brilliancy and a gay insouciance abounded in all the scenes, and the mounting of the scenes and the costum- ing was of unusual lavishness and rich- ness, due to the genius of Enrica Clay Dillon, director of the stage, and Mor- timer Clark, in charge of art properties. The opera was conducted by Signor Bimboni, who led an augmented orches- tra in pleasing support of the singers and with true appreciation of the or- chestral values and demands of the score. “Carmen” is a more florid opera than “Mignon,” and the orchestra was able to cope with its technical difficul- ties most satisfactorily. Because of ’the illness of Marjorie Maxwell, who was to have sung “Mi- caela,” that role was handled in a masterly manner by Miss Dorothy she took her work very easily. In her wreath she gained by her debut appear- ance in grand opera as “Mignon” on Monday night. The inspiration of success gave Miss Speare more assurance last night, and she took her work very easily in her beautiful and best aria, “Je dis que rien ne m’epouvante,” known as ‘“Micaela’s Air,” her voice was sweet and lovely and the soft arpeggios of the instruments seemed to rise as incense and carry her musical prayer with them. Ivantzoff is Gallant Toreador. The spotlight of achievement played over Ivan Ivantzoff whenever he was on the stage. He was a gallant tore- ador, perfect in the role at all times, an operatic past master of his art. Washington, who has learned to know the virtues of this opera star, wel- comed him with an ovation when he entered and repeated it several times during the evening, especially after his spirited rendition of the famous and familiar “Toreador Song,” of which, cespite its frequent hearing, music lovers never seem to tire. This barytone aria is one of the most celebrated of all the well known airs of “Carmen.” It has a strongly ac- cented rhythm and pulsating theme suggesting the exciting blaze of a mul- titude of lights and the brazen blare of the arena trumpets heralding the opening of the big show. Paul Althouse, as Don Jose, came in for his full share of the night’s ac- claim. He had been heard here many times in concert and his beautiful tenor voice was adequate in every sense of the word to his role. In his famed “Flower Song,’ as well known for the tenor voice as the feminine “Flower Song” of Faust, there was a wealth of tenderness displayed which brought instant applause from the pleased audience. Give Enthusiasm to Roles. Aside from these stars other princi- pals in the cast gave good account of themselves. The audience welcomed Doris Morrow as Frasquita, and Mer- cedes, played by Rose Pollio, as prima donnas of tomorrow, who are surely. working their way upward to operatic fame. George Beuchler, Wilfred Smith and Walter Chambers, as smugglers, contributed enthusiasm and youth to their roles as well as excellent voices. The chorus of the Washington Na- tional Opera Company took advantage of the greater opportunities for choral work in “Carmen” to write their names on the scroll of the evening’s success. They sang with a good ensemble tone, pleasing enunciation and added to the picturesqueness of the scenes. One of the minor hits of the evening was in the Street Boys song, a gay mar- tial tune given by the singing boys of St. John’s Church, Lafayette Square, whose sweet treble tones got over the footlights well and won for them gen- erous applause at the conclusion of their song. “Thais” to Be Sung Tomorrow.

Hospital, 50° years old, 3500 Fifteenth street northeast, was dragged to an upper floor and locked in a closet while her assailant calmly ransacked every room in the residence and es- caped with several pieces of silver, a gold wrist watch and $6 in cash. After the negro fled, Mrs. Hospital regained consciousress and cried for help. Neighbors heard her and came to her assis.vance. They unlocked the closet door and summoned a nearby physician. He treated Mrs. Hospital for shock and severe brulses and lacer- ations on her face. . Police from the Twelfth Precinct searched the neighborhood for the negro but were unable to find him. Mrs. Hospital said that she opened the front door of her home about 11:20 o’clock yesterday morning in response to a ring. The negro, without a word, stepped in the hallway and struck her several times in the face with his fists. When she fell to the floor he closed the front door, dragged Mrs, Hospital to the second floor and then proceeded to loot the house. Mrs. Hospital gave police a descrip- tion of the negro and it was imme- diately broa:cast to every policeman in the city.

PREMIER WALDEMARAS REFUSES TO GIVE WAY Will Not Even Consider Re- storing Poles’ Right of Entry Into His Territory. Geneva, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—The Five” have failed to settle the Polishe- |} Lithuanian dispute and it must be | fought out before the council of the League of Nations tomorrow or Thurs- day. Foreign Ministers Briand and Strese- | mann and Foreign Secretary Chamber- | lain met with representatives of Italy and Japan this afternoon to discuss Lithuania’s complaints against Poland, but failed to accomplish anything. As the delegates left the meeting they gave the impression that only questions of procedure involved in presentation of the dispute to the council were dis- cussed, but it is known that some of the statesmen reluctantly acknowledged that their direct efforts at concilla- tion had failed. Waldemaras Stands Firm. The combined political pressure of these great powers, and also Russia, has not caused the little Lithuanian dictator, Premier Waldemaras, to budge from his position. He told the Asso- ciated Press tonight he was ready to give the council every guarantee of Lithuania’s pacific intentions and his willingness to set up a neutral zone between Lithuania and Poland, but said he could not go into the question of immediately restoring diplomatic rela- tions with Poland or allowing the Poles untrameled etry into Lithu- ania. Earlier Premier Waldemaras said he knew nothing about the favorable turn in negotiations that had been an- nounced by a spokesman for the Poles. The Polish spokesman had said that he had information that Waldemaras would acknowledge there was not any actual state of war between the two SLL STA SES A ANT DIED ALLENSWORTH—(: 1927, at the Mrs. Maude northwest, WALTER WORTH, Sr. Funeral services at the Methodist Church at ‘| a, Va., on Friday, December 9, at Relatives and friends invited to ‘Tuesday, residence Walker, December 6, of his daughter, 49217 Fourth street SCOTT ALLENS- ANDERSON—On T uesday, Dece at the residence of we Gi.

Chicago, Dec, 6.—Mliss Lillian M. dames has. the strangest “alarm clock” out of all the list of con- trivances to awaken a sound sleeper at a certain hour. Every morning, at exactly 6:30, without the varia- tion of a minute, a handsome rooster hops from his perch in the James home at 4915 Ravenswood avenue, struts into the bedroom of Miss Lillian, hops to a table near the head of the bed and crows until She is fully awake, Then, from room to room, the chanticleer passes on his way, awakening other members of the family, after which he takes posses- sion of the kitchen and continues a loud clamor until he is fed. The rooster was bought six years ago at a 5 and 10 cent store and has been personally trained by Miss James, As a family alarm clock, he has proven absolutely flawless. y countries in the dispute and that fur- | ther negotiations leading to an amicable settlement would offer no difficulties. Won’t Discuss Seized City. “We do not intend to discuss Vilna,” said M, Waldemaras of the city seized and held by Poland and claimed by Lithuania, “but Lithuania has a legal title to Vilna which she does not con- template surrendering.” There are just two questions the council will be called upon to decide, said M. Waldemaras. The first is whether Poland had a right to resort to reprisals, arrest Lithuanian clergy and close schools in the Vilna district, and the second is whether Poland had a right to organize bands to foment political uprisings against the Lithu- anian state. M. Waldemaras concluded that he al- WaysS was well disposed to receive con- crete proposals from Poland, but none have been received, and there was no foundation for the Polish report that a settlement of the dispute was in sight. GIRL HOLDUP INSANITY PLEA DELAYS TRIAL Exacting Tactics of Lawyers for Defense Exhausts Venire of 75 With 5 in Box. La Grange, Tex., Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Ex- acting examination of prospective jurors to try Rebecca Bradley Rogers, young former college girl, on a charge of holding up a Buda, Tex., bank ex- hausted s, venire of 75 men today. Only two jurors were added to the three accepted Monday. Efforts of defense attorneys were re- solved mainly in determining the will- ingness of veniremen to acquit “if a preponderance of the evidence” shows a defendant to be insane. The defense will plead Mrs. Rogers was insane at the time she held up the Buda Bank with a pistol and escaped with $1,000. District Attorney Fred Blundell in- sisted that veniremen should take 1.e attitude that men and women are equals before the law. At least six veniremen were dismissed solely be- cause they did “not believe a woman should be punished.” The exacting qualifications demanded by defense attorneys drew a rebuke from the Court that such tactics would disqualify 99 per cent of the veniremen in this county or any other county.” French Girl Boasts Record for Fiances Boulogne-Sur-Mer, France, (A.P.).— Kleberta Bellet had so many fiances she had to keep an indexed record of them. She told the police she was afraid of mixing their names and she showed a little book in which she kept notes on characters, dates of their meetings and other incidents. Each of the 104 contributed gifts and many considerable sums of money, Some of them want an accounting, hence complaints filed with the police. Bathing Salt Makers Indicted as Frauds Special to The Washington Post. New York, Dec. 6-—There was bad news in the wind today for the plump women who want to reduce without swinging the Indian clubs or doing their rolling exercises regularly. Maurice Rosenberg and Maurice Rubin, presi- dent and secretary of the Florazona Corporation, were indicted here today by a Fedral grand jury. The men manufacture bath salts and United States postal inspectors charge that they advertised that their product placed in the tub would take off eight pounds in two weeks without diet or exercise. The inspectors tried it, and they say it doesn't work. Rubbish Heap Yields Polish King’s Crown Dresden, Germany, Dec. 6 (A.P.).— The crown, sceptre and orb of Augustus the Strong, once King of Poland and elector of Saxony, were found in a rub- bish heap today. The symbols of power were diz- covered during cleaning operations at the Dresden Historical Museum, which houses relics of ancient days. The crown, of heavy silver, is studded with jewels, being the work of the famous goldsmith, Johann Klemm, of Freiberg. (Augustus II was born at Dresden in 1670, died at Warsaw, 1733.) Eight Perish in Blaze In Boarding House Williamson, W. Va., Dec. 6 (A.P.).— Eight persons met death in a fire which destroyed a boarding house here today. Those burned tovdeath were: Mrs. Will Hampton, her three chil- dren, Goldie, Wade, and a 6-week-old baby; Pearl Johnson Browning and Deputy Sheriff John L. Marcum, all of the Dingess section, and Bob Ireson and his son, Albert. The origin of the fire was uncertain, but firemen believed that it started in a trash pile in the hallway. Deputy Marcum was believed to have lost his life because of the time it took him to attach an artificial leg after the dan- ger became known. _ | Engineers Quieting Volcano With Earth Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 6 (A.P.).— In the hope of permanently extinguish- ing the Santiago volcano, which has not been in eruption since last spring, German engineers have dumped thou- sands of tons of earth into the crater, apparently extinguishing a burning sul- phur bed. The volcano has ruined a quarter of the Nicaragua coffee crop for years by its fumes. | The engineers causing a volcano cra-, ter to be filled in Nicaragua probably are seeking to divert the pressure to some nondangerous point, in the opin- ion of New York geologists.

SLAYER IS THREATENED FOR COURT OUTBURST Judge Is About to Punish the Prisoner for Contempt in Angry Scene. Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 6 (A.P.).— George Remus as a wife slayer to pre- vent revelation of hidden assets the Federal Government might claim to meet more than $10,000,000 in tax claims, rather than as a demented love killer, was the picture the prosecution sought to sketch in his murder trial today. George Connors, once “lieutenant in chief” of the former “king of boot- leggers,” was undergoing his third day of cross-examination when the State reached the high point of its case. “Mrs. Remus, before she was going into the divorce court, had been in communication with the internal reve- nue commissioner giving information as to holding of you with Remus and Blanche Watson, hadn’t she,’” asked Walter K. Sibbald, assistant prosecutor. Connors affirmed that he knew Mrs. Remus had been in communication with the commissioner, but asserted with heat that Remus “hasn’t got a dollar” and that neither he nor Miss Watson had secreted Remus’ assets.” “You knew Remus did want to get possession of papers Mrs. Remus had because he did not want her to reveal his property holdings for the Govern- ment’s knowledge for taxation, didn’t you?” pursued Sibbald.

DRY AGENT, WHO KILLED GHIEF, 13 PUT ON TRIAL Jury of Twelve Married Men to Hear Walters’ Plea of Self-Defense. WIFE TO TESTIFY TODAY Special to The Washington Post. Hagerstown, Md., Dec. 6: — Self-de- fense and the “unwritten law” will be the defense of Reginald E. Walters, prohibition undercover agent, charged with the murder of his chief, Funter R. Stotler, who went on trial before a jury of twelve married men here to- day. Ellsworth Roulette, chief of the defense counsel, indicated in his open- ing statement to the jury that the de- fense would prove that Walters shot only in self-defense. This came as a surprise, since counsel for Walters pre- viously had indicated that the defense program would depend upon revelations by Mrs. Walters of her relations with Stotler. The State, through State’s Attorney Harper Ballentine, indicated that it would depend almost entirely upon the written confession of Walters to prove that the murder of S*‘otler was pre- meditated; that Walters admitted that he had planned to kill Stotler on the streets in Cumberland, but finally de- cided to shoot him while on a moon- Shine raid in order not to bring dis- grace upon his family. A letter and a telegram which, the defense said, were from Stotler and which arranged for the raid on the night of the murder will be used to show that Stotler and not Walters had planned the trip into the mountains east of here, and that Walters did not lure Stotler there to kill him. Mrs. Walters will take the stand to- morrow to tell of her relations with Stotler, defense counsel said, and Wal- ters also will testify. Among the witnesses who testified today were Mrs. Hunter Stotler, wife of the slain man, who told of coming to Hagerstown with her husband ten days before he was killed; Mrs. Grace Stotler, Tiddy, daughter of Stotler, and Dr. Perry Prather, who told of the wounds that killed Stotier.

Aboard Presidential Train, San Luis. | Mexico, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Relations be- | tween Mexico and the United States have been greatly improved by the | American Ambassador, Dwight W. Mor- | row, President Calles told the Mexican | and foreign correspondents today aboard the presidential train upon the | last day of an extensive tour. The Am- | bassador was the guest of the presi- | dent and saw some of the largest irri- | gation projects of the Mexican gov- | ernment, as well as other developments, | and the rural schools. “I consider Ambassador Morrow my | personal friend,” said Senor “He is a very intelligent man, a very | thoughtful man, a man of deep under- standing. He is a man who has made himself appreciated by all who have | come in contact with him in Mexico | as well a: elsewhere. Everywhere on this trip Ambassador Morrow has re- ceived from the masses of common peo- ple demonstrations of tneir sympathy toward him. I am happy that he is the United States Ambassador to Mexi- co and that improveme t in the re- lations between the two countries is being effected.” President Calles responded to many questions put to him by the correspond- ents. With regard to the religious situ- ation and the government’s policy on that problem the president «aid the Catholics had made no recent over- tures for a settlement, adding: “If such overtures should be made, my attitude would be that which Il have already expressed ad infinitum; that is—‘here are the laws and the constitution; they must be obeyed. All you have to do is to come back and obey the laws and the constitution and the religious question is settled.’ ” The Calles government does not con- template seeking any foreign loans. Its present intention is to complete various irrigation, school building and other constructive programs without borrow- ing a single penny—solely by economy in the use of domestic revenues. To Be Dairy Farmer. The president remarked that when he retired from office he intended to be- come a dairy farmer on his ranch near Mexico City, and to live in one of the suburbs of the capital where he is erecting a home. Will Rogers, the American comedian. came in for some of the good words of the president, who said: “Rogers will innprove relations between Mexico and the United States, as Ambassador Mor- Calles. | row has done, because Rogers, with the sincerity that characterizes him always | telis the truth. More than a humorist, | he 1s a philosopher.” Speaking of the tour, President Calles said “the object of this trip was to give the Ambassador an opportunity to know Mexico intimately, see and un- derstand the people, observe the actual works of the government in developing its projects for the interests of the country and the people. This, happily for both countries, has been done, both with Ambassador Morrow and Will Rogers, and such a method is the best one for obtaining an understanding in improving the relations between all | countries.” | Peace by January 1. Regarding future prospects of do- mestic affairs, Senor Calles remarked: “There is confidence new in the sta- bility of the government. The pacifi- cation of the country is being carried out. I believe by January 1 all the country will be at peace and everybody at work.” “What has been your most difficult job as president?” some one asked. The president replied: “To be under- stood—yes, by that I mean both at home and abroad.” Discussing the Pan-American confer- ence to be held at Havana, Senor Calles expressed the opinion that it would be of great importance .o all America and that problems of much importance to Mexico would be discussed. Asked to discuss the feeling of in- creased optimism noted in many quar- ters, the president said: “That is for the people to judge.” Bay State Voters Ask | Dry Law Referendum | Boston, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—An initiative petition seeking a state-wide referen- dum on the repeal of the eighteenth amendment was filed with the secre- tary of state today by the Constitu- tional Liberty League.

Findings in Lake Diversion Dispute Satisfac- tory to Both Sides. RIGHT TO SUE IS UPHELD! STRIKE FORMER HANDICAP Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Ohio and other States fighting Chicago’s diversion of water from Lake Michigan for sanitary drainage purposes won a “big victory” in Special Master Charles E. Hughes’ findings and recommenda- tions to the United States Supreme Court, Attorney General E. C. Turner declared today. The master’s report has been hailed as a signal victory for Chi- cago by officials of that city. The attorney general will leave for where tomorrow he will confer with attorneys general of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Penn- sylvania and New York on what action Shall be taken by the States opposing Chicago’s drainage scheme on the special master’s report. Attorney General Turner pointed out that while Mr. Hughes recommended that the suit brought by the States be dismissed, he recognized the right | of the States to bring such an action | to protect themselves and their com- merce on the Great Lakes, the validity of the Secretary of War’s orders limit- ' ing the amount of water which Chicago may withdraw from the lake and the right of Congress to enact legislation governing the water diversion. Mr. Hughes also found the Chicago diversion was responsible for the lower- ing of the lake levels 6 inches, thereby constituting a hindrance to navigation. If the Supreme Court adopts the recommendation of Judge Hughes, Mr Turner said, “Ohio and the other States will be permitted to again raise the question in the courts if there is abuse of the permit granted by the Secretary of War.” $1,500,000 Damage In Five Forest Fires Los Angeles, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—With four of the five major fires extinguished after having swept over thousands of acres of brush and forest lands of southern California, and the fifth fairly well un- der control, estimates of losses to prop- erty today sent the total damages to more than $1,500,000.

New York, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—The present Stability of busines is due largely to the better relations that have been brought about betwen employers and employes, Charles M. Schwab told the American Society of Mechanical Engineers tonight. Mr. Schwab, who spoke as retiring prsident of the society, said this im- proved relationship was due to “human engineering.” “It was not so many years ago,” he said, “that buyers of basic products were under a constant fear that their supplies of essential materials would be interrupted by strikes, lockouts or other : overt expressions of industrial ill will. They could not be sure of uninter- rupted production. “Therefore, it was quite natural that they bought beyond their neds and laid up surplus supplies which, in periods of business recession, were dumped on. the markets and added to the demorali- zation and stagnation which formerly characterized several down-turns in the busines cycle.” In the matter of wages, Mr Schwab said he believed the desire of labor can best be fulfiled by rewarding men with their contributions toward the success of the business. But ven with good wages and steady employment, Mr. Schwab pointed out, the workman, unless he has the sense of ownership, is likly to lack one factor essential to his fullest efficiency ang greatest interest in the company., “Successful industrial managment in the future,” he said, “is going to de- pend more and more on management of men, rather than upon the organization of machines and other problems which ordinarily are considered in the sphere of practical engineering.” o, .@ 2, ©. 2. 2 \A x oo, xix a? 99 ©, se EX 0 0 Tx rg? %g2 949 0 0 ©, S @ ©, @ 0,99,0°, o. 0. 2 © peti * "Od Commercial Ground For Sale This is the best proposition of its kind in the city today. 288 ft. frontage on 2 streets.

A carefully prepared speech by Sen- ator Norris, explaining why he opposed permitting either senator-elect to re- celye the oath or to take his seat was answered by @ prepared speech by Sen- ator Deneen on behalf of Smith. Sen- ator Curtis brought about a recess be- fore 3 o’clock, thus postponing hostili- ties until today, when the real fire- works in the contest are expected to de- velop. It still looks as if the opposition to Smith and Vare have the votes to bar them at the door. possibly without reference of the case to any committee. But there are said to be surprise moves held in reserve for the future by the Smith-Vare adherents so that the actual end of the fight may be a long ways off, even if they are excluded by the vote of the Senate. The question of whether successors could be appointed 50 long as Smith and Vare remain the legally elected senators from their re- spective States is one matter which may be threshed out and the possibility that the governors of the two States may re- appoint Smith and Vare—if under the law he can appoint any one—is yet another matter of consideration. Clos- ing the Senate door to Vare and Smith would prevent them from taking the oath, but would not, in the opinion of some authorities, create vacancies. Curtis Commends Message. Benator Curtis said of the President’s message: It was a very exhaustive ue been delivered to Congress. It bars every adequate avenue to farm relief.

The President’s message has not changed conditions and has not modified the attitude of the farm group, many of whom want to go ahead. Abovt the only course left is to conform to the President’s recommendations as far aS possible and go forward with the equalization fee as article 10 of the covenant. I believe there is a good chance of passing the bill over the President’s veto, Brookhart Attacks Farm Plan. Senator Brookhart, publican, said: “As far as agriculture is concerned, progressive Re- think it will be very proyed.” Senator Watson said: “It’s just such a message as might be expected from Coolidge. It’s a very sound document, emVodying funda- mentals of government and principles of administration, with which we generally ap- nominates a candidate with it, the West and Soeuth will end the career of the Republican party.’ Senator Robinson, Democratic leader, criticized te President’s proposed flood relief measures and added: “There is real danger that halfway measures will be adopted now as they have been in the past. If the flood problem in the Mississippi Valley is na- tional rather than local, the Govern- ment should pay the cost of such works as May be required. Of course, where the public works constructed may be utilized in part for other purposes as may be the case of reservoirs, a differ- ent rule may be applied. “The references to measures for farm relief are so general in their character that they do not form a basis for sub- stantial legislation. Prosperity Claim Denied. “All Republican Presidents in my time have begun and ended their mes- sages by boasting of the national pros- perity. Numerous bank failures throughout the agricultural sections, the part-time operations of manufac- turing industries, including many wool- en and cotton mills, and the notable falling off in the business of retailers generally indicates the claim that the country enjoys a prosperit never ex- ceeded is fictitious.” Senator Harrison, Democrat, said: “The message does not give to the people of the flood stricken Mississippi Valley the hope and assurance that the situation warrants, and which they had been led by universal public opinion to expect. To say that those areas flooded by the waters that are forced upon them from 31 States are to con- tinue, by special taxation, to bear the tremendous burden, is most disheart- Senator Bingham said: “It was an ex- tremely able state document, courage- ous, well balanced and marked by that characteristic common sense which has made the President eminent as a states- man. I was particularly interested in what he had to say about aviation and Pan-American air mail and I hope that the Congress will agree with his sug- gestion that the Postoffice Department should be granted power to make liberal long-term contracts for carrying the ty.ail.” Senator Willis said: “I approve most Te res of the message. I agree very enthusiastically with what he says about taxation and debt reduction. I, of course, approve what he has to say about immigration. In any legislation we enact on this subject our first effort should be to unite families. I approve what the President has to say about flood control and the _ eighteenth amendment. On two things I can not agree with him. One is with reference to the merchant marine. I can not see how we can maintain the merchant marine unless the Government builds ships. Nor do I agree with him e- garding Muscle Shoals, which ought which {t was intended, making of fer- tiliger in peace and munitions in time of war. Howel! Criticizes Farm Pian.

Of “Shock,” Declares Caraway. —_—_ Senator Caraway said: “The President’s message was a dis- tinct shock, and a great disapopint- ment to everyone living in the Missis- sippi Valley. It contains not a line of helpful suggestions, nor a single word of encouragement and hope. It dis- closes an amazing lack of information ‘upon the subject on the part of the President when he compares flood con- trol with irrigation projects. No one who gave a single moment’s thought jcould imagine there was any relation between the two, “Flood control is not a reclamation project, It does not seek to reclaim lands. It’s to prevent the destruction by water of lands already claimed and in cultivation.” After further elaboration in the flood control question, Senator Caraway says: , “The President says farmers have been relieved from the necessity of pay- ing income taxes. He might have said by reason of the fact that they had no income under this administration. It would need no explanation. | “The only thing made perfectly clear by the President’s message is that his declaration that he does not ‘choose’ to run does not bind him. No other interpretation can be placed upon the message. . “To repeat what I said at the begin- ning, it is a message devoid of help- ful ¢ ns. It reveals, however, what most people have already known —that the President is a sectional President, and that the Government, thinks, is created to take care of ‘I maining pa The only right the re- [tis not necessary to have had an Ac- count at this Bank to H MORRIS Easy to Pay of the country has is to the taxes.” help the farmer, he said, would have! his earnest support, but he laid down the principle that it should aim to assist the farmer “to work out his own salvation, socially and economically.” Taking the position that the farmer already has been assisted by a reduce | tion of Federal taxes and that agricul- | ture was showing signs of improving, | Mr, Coolidge said: | “It is useless to propose a temporary expedient. What is needed is perma- nency and stability. Government price fixing is known to be unsound and bound to result in disaster. A Govern- ment subsidy would work out in the same way. * * ® “Price fixing and subsidy will both increase the surplus, instead of dimin- ishing it.

While this can not be done by the individual farmer, it can be done through the organization already in ex- istence, through the information pub- lished by the Department of Agricul- ture, and especially through banks and others who supply credit refusing to finance an acreage manifestly too large. “It is impossible to pravide by law ‘or an assured success and prosperity for all those who engage in farming.

Coolidge de- clared, should be approached with a desire to sustain the nrtional budget Significant admonition was given Congress that the duty for framing a tax bill was peculiarly its own and that it should guard = gainst “special interests, too often selfish, always un- informed of the national needs as a whole, with hired agents using their proposed beneficiaries as engines of propaganda.” Being a Nation which relies upon its ability to maintain peace by fair deal- ing and good will rather than by force. the President advocated the main- tenance of a moderate Army and Navy He added, however, the need for con- siderable naval expansion had been demonstrated some time ago and that in rounding out its Navy the United States would not be moved by failure of the Geneva armament conference He said the United States is “ready and willing to continue the preparatory investigations on the general sulject of limitation of armaments which have been started under the auspices of the League of Nations.” “Every one knew,” Mr. Coolidge said, “that had a three-power agreement been reached it would have left us with the necessity of continuing our building program. The failure to agree should not cause us to build either more or less than we otherwise should Calls for More Navy Ships. “Any future treaty of limitation will call on us for more ships, We should enter on no competition. We should refrain from no needful program.” The President declared that stabiliza- tion of Great Lakes remained to be con- sidered so that they may be opened to the sea, Congress having already au- thorized the general improvement of the Mississippi system. This stabiliza- tion would provide a Gulf-to-the-At lantic waterway, indorsed by Mr, Cool- idge in his Philadelphia speech before the Union League, and his message de- clared that two boards of engineers had decided the St, Lawrence River the more expeditious and cheaper route. The President declared himself in favor of a Gulf-to the-Atlantic water- way, expressing the opinion that a route through the St. Lawrence River would be cheaper and more expeditious. While he favored proposals for pro- moting peace throughout the world, Mr. Coolidge declared that the United States should continue to promote peace by example and “fortify it by such international covenants against war as we are permitted under our Constitution to make” The full text of the President’s message will be found on Page 8 of this issue, Georgia Governor Here for Unveiling Gov.

(Associated Press.) With the President’s message out of the way, the House, at another short session yesterday, went through the preliminaries which usually precede the launching of big and important business. Three major bills—the $236,000,000 tax-reduction measure, the first de- ficiency appropriation bill carrying nearly $200,000,000 and the Swing- Johnson Boulder Dam proposal—were presented together with a score or more of Federal building and bridge measures. In the Senate nearly 50 minor pen- sion and claims bills were introduced. The deficiency bill, incorporating nearly all of the items which failed of passage last session when the Senate filibuster killed the second deficiency and public buildings bills, was reported by the appropriations committee and probably will be taken up late today or tomorrow. Tax Bill Second on Program. Present plans call for taking up the tax bill after the deficiency measure is disposed of. Indications yesterday were that the former would be reached before the week-end. The Boulder Dam bill is not expected to be taken up before the eleven annual supply measures are out of the way. The deficiency bill provided a total of $198,876,264, which was $6,662,593 less than the budget estimates, but $68,000,000 more than the items in- cluded in the two bills that failed last session. Among the larger provisions were $43,000,000 for tax refunds, $46,000,000 for Army and Navy pensions, $19,400,- 000 for Veterans Bureau compensation, and $7,00.,000 for emergency flood con- trol on the Mississippi. A reappropri- ation also was provided of $36,600,000 from unexpended balances for former service men. ¢ total of $8,671,583 was included for public buildings and the remainder of the $20,000,000 needed to start the first of the five-year building program, which failed last session, wes trans- ferred to the 1929 budget. The latter wil? be included in the Treasury supply bill. Indications that a. fight would be made on the estimates of $13,150,000 for alterations artd repairs to the bat- tleships Oklahoma and Nevada were given in a statement made on the House floor by Representative McClin- tic, of Oklahoma, a Democrat, on the naval committee. House Fight Forecast. In reporting the bill, the committee .eft out $940,000 of that total provided by the budget for increasing the gun range of the two ships, and Mr Mc- Ciintic. in opposing the provision, said it would be thrashed out in the House when the question arose as to whether the elevations would violate the spirit of the Washington arms treaty. Tne tax reduction bill was referred yack to the ways and means committee for formal ratification of rate revisions already agreed ‘on It carries about $11,000,000 more than the maximum curtailment in revenues, as recom- mended by the Treasury In offering again the Boulder Dam bill, Repres itative Swing (Repubii- can), California, Cescribed it as vir- tually the same as that which failed of enactment in the Senate at the last session He said he would ask for its eariy consideration by the reclama- tion committee, which favorably re- ported it last session, and the rules committee, which geve it privileged status in the same Congress. “The disasters of a flood of unprec- edented height on the Mississipp!

Francis E. Jameson, 20 years old, 2231 Q street northwest, a runner for the District National Bank, was the victim of the holdup man. Jameson was driving along Eighth street between T street and Florida avenue northwest, returning from the Prudential Bank, 717 Florida avenue northwest, where he had collected $900, when a green sedan automobile driven by a white man about 30 years old, drew alongside and forced him to stop. The stranger asked Jameson where he could find the ball park. When Jameson turned to point toward the park the holdup man drew a pistol from his pocket and leveled it at Jameson. Keep- ing the pistol shielded from the view of pedestrians with his overcoat the holdup man said: “Hand over your money.” Jameson said that he protested that he had no money, but the robber re- plied that he knew he had been making collections at banks and threatened him with the pistol. Jameson handed over the money ‘and the robber pocketed it and drove away. Jameson has been employed by the District National Bank for the past four months. The loss was covered by in- surance, bank officials said. Jameson gave the police a good description of the bandit but was unable to furnish them with the license number of the car Police arrested six men and one wom- an in connection with the diamond rob- bery of the Whitmore shop.

He is first of all a patriot, and if the people demand his con- tinuance in office he will sacrifice his personal choice to their resolve. Times—Contrary to expectation, and departing from what he apvarently had originally in mind, President Coolidge | decided today, in his address to the Re- | publican. national committee to make |an end of whatever ambiguity had been |attached to his famous statement of | August 2, “I do not choose.” That had (already become a classic, a familiar quotation. Hosea Biglow would have relished it. Those saturated in the Yankee dialect would have scorned to put a gloss on words which, they would have maintained, speak for themselves. But a doubt persisted in many mighty Republican minds, and the President finally felt it necessary to remove it. | So he bluntly told the Republican com- 'mitteeman that his statement of Au- gust 2 “stands,” he spoke of it as a “decision” which he quietly added, “will be respected.” Then he proceeded t9 point out the duty of the party to BRADSHAW AOKS FAIR ELECTION OF DELEGATES Wants Polls Taken of 22 Dis- tricts for Convention Representatives. SCORES PRESENT TACTICS Asking a fair and open. election of the delegates and alternates to the Re- publican national convention, Aaron Bradshaw, chairman of the Republican central committee, yesterday presented to members of the Republican national committee, in session here, a statement of conditions incident to selection of delegates since 1912. The committee was requested to name three citizens to conduct the election on a city-wide | basis, selecting three judges of election |'and clerks for each of the 22 legislative | Gistricts. | The statement indicated necessity for |due notice through the press of the |names of judges of election and clerks | appointed, as well as addresses of places | designated as polls, a procedure which | was not followed in the “so-called pri- ; |mary election of delegates which noml- inated President Harding when the Re- ‘publican central committee was over- awed by the so-called State committee ‘controlled by National Committeeman | Colladay and a few friends.” | This State committee, according to the Bradshaw report, chose delegates to the national convention in secret, “in meetings in. private houses and at a ‘convention’ held in the parlors of the Ebbitt House behind guarded and closed doors, where delegates and alternates were chosen to represent the Republi- can electorate at the national Republi- can convention.” Since that time, Bradshaw stated, a similar procedure has been followed in election of dele- gates to the Republican national con- vention. Tactics employed by the State com- mittee in election of delegates were said by Bradshaw to be “claimed by the small coterie composing the committee o have the indorsement of the Republi- can national committee.” This, it was said, brought adverse criticism on the Republican national committee both here and abroad. The statement was signed by Aaron Bradshaw, J. Finley Wilson, Robert I. Miller and Benjamin L.

Times—We have a rather automatic registration of the topics with which Congress shall in orderly course deal and a document ‘of value for its ref- erence, but most notable for its. con- stant tone of conservatism and hard- headed pounding upon a standpoint of steadiness and thriftiness in the Gov- ernment’s courses, to hold advantage so gained in the recent past and risk but few and limited departures. It reflects in these respects the mind of the country today. Courant—Asking for greater vigilance in enforcement on the part of local governments, the President seems tacit- ly to admit that prohibition is essen- tially a local problem and one that can best be handled locally. The Federal authorities, he says, propose to dis- charge their obligation for enforcement to the full extent of their ability. That is all they can do, They have been doing that for eight years. Yet the pro- hibition laws are violated thousands of times a day and liquor flows freely. DETROIT. Free Press—Interest in what the President says regarding agriculture is bound to be Nation-wide, His diag- nosis and recommendations probably will be highly irritating to the Haugen- McNary crowd, but they are safe and sane, nevertheless. ; The section on tax reduction is sub- stantially an indorsement of the well known program of Secretary Mellon and has no surprises. The report on the result of hational economy under his administration which the President offers is impressive. The showing con- stitutes one of the principal reasons why Mr. Coolidge has the confidence of ithe Nation and is finding it hard to ‘convince the leaders of his party that ‘he wili not run for renomination. SEATTLE. Times—The message is essentially a business document, prepared and de- livered with no thought other than to keep the vastly impcrtant business of the Nation on the right and profitable course. No one can read it without being convinced that if its recom- mendations were promtply and ex- plicitly carried into effect the con- ‘tinued prosperity and progress of the ‘Nation would ‘be amply assured. * * * 'Millions of voters have entertained the to accept another nomination. was a vain. hope. DES MOINES. Register—The message to Congress has made it plain that the President has not in the least modified his view with relation to the industries on one hand and agriculture on the other, that neither the long debate, nor his West- ern summer residence has had the slightest effect on his basic attitude and that so far as the President’s part is concerned the program of agriculture in its struggle for another rating must be precisely what it has been. DENVER. News—His latest announcement can ‘not be termed an amplification of his original one of declination, but taken in conjunction with the other, and while it may leave something to be de- sired in forthright assertiveness, it should set at rest the agitation of Re- publicans, in and out of office, to “draft” him, or to give the impression that he has left open a loophole, or to insinuate that he is not sincere in his attitude. BOISE, Statesman—Tuere is Coolidge brevity and Coolidge finality in the new state- ment. What might happen in case of a serious deadlock and an uninvited nomination no one knows. But Cool- idge obviously intends to have his bridges completely burned. He can not now be consistent if he accepts any draft, and he proposes to be consistent. No man runs away from the presi- dency—except a President. PORTLAND. Press—-The President’s message to Congress contains nothing that is at variance with views on important sub- jects the chief executive has previously expressed. ; Express—The message is written in a vein of wise conservatism, that will profoundly impress the country and the world. TOPEKA, Capital—While admitting that the President’s message today is strong and forceful in general it will not be re- ceived with enthusiasm in the big agri- cultural States of the middle West, es- pecially the President’s stand for re- moving the fee provision from the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill. MILWAUKEE. Journal—It is a message which leaves one questioning. Do the great prob- lems stand out? Flood relief doubt- less will be granted, the Navy will be strengthened. The farm question clearly is no nearer solution. The President speaks again on authority in coal strikes, but not with the fervor he uses in criticizi board. The President of the St. Lawrence waterway. not explain what he wants done with the railroad law. And finally, proposals for promoting the of the world will have ‘careful consideration.

POSTS FOR ALL FACTIONS ARE PLANNED IN GROUP, Headquarters of Dry Organi-. zation Probably Will Be Established in Capital. In an effort to pacify its factions and at the same time intensify its strength in the Capital, the Antisaloon League of America, holding its biennial na- tional convention at the Mayflower Hotel, is expected momentarily to an- nounce a general administrative reor- ganization, with permanent headquart- - ers here. As soon as the directors of the league | formally act on the proposed reorgani- zation, announcement will be made of the personnel of a new administrative committee which is to take over the scepter of the late Wayne B. Wheeler, with materially increased powers. mittee, the number of members which has not been made known wil have general supervision over the activi- ties of the league during the interims of the quarterly meetings of the executive committee of the Antisaloon All statements of the league’s attitude on questions that arise will be made through the new administrative com- mictee. Cherrington Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, general secretary of the World League Against Alcoholism and a leader of a distinct faction in the Antisaloon League, and Dr. Francis Scott McBride, general su- perintendent of the Antisaloon League and Jeader of another faction, are as- sured of assignments to the adminis- trative committee, and at least one other member of the league, represent- ing the large group which has no fac- tional affiliations, will be namea the committee. It is possible, however, that the committee will be composed of five or seven members. Yesterday’s meeting of the was addressed by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Seymour Lowman, in charge of prohibition, who declared his department would ask for no increases in Prohibition Bureau appropriations for this year. It is felt that a test should be made under the comparative- ly new reorganization plan before any- thing further Lowman said. The personnel of the Prohibition Bureau now is made up of a little more than 4,200 employes, or an increase of about 700 over last year, he pointed out, declaring it to be a well-balanced unit for law enforce- ment. Assured of Post. Assails Union League Dinner. “Constitutional Mandates vs. Party Platitudes” was the subject of an ad- cress by former Representative William D. Upshaw, of Georgia. It was a char- acteristic Upshaw speech, in which he declared there is just as much liquor in the Republican party as there is in the Democratic party, but that the Re- publicans have been politically smart enough thus far to “get away with it.” He atacked the recent Union League dinner and its proposed nullification fund, Nicholas Murray Butler, former Senator James Wadsworth and other Republican guests at the dinner. “Now, I call you dry Republicans in this convention to witness that I am perfectly justified in rubbing Nicholas | Murray Butler, former Senator Wads- worth, William S. Vare and John Philip Hill under your Republican noses—for you have been rubbing Al Smith, Gov. Ritchie and Jim Reed under my Democratic nose so long that I am getting tired of it,” Upshaw de- clared.

Urges World Cooperation. Experience after eight years of na- tional prohibition has demonstrated that prohibition, with enforcement at its worst, is infinitely better than legal- ly sanctioned beverage alcohol regulation at its best, Dr. Cherrington declared at the session of the convention, last night. of the eighteenth amendment not: is a test of the principle of prohibition,” | Dr. Cherrington added. “It is a real test of the ability of free government to effectuate itself.” He declared the most important func- tion of organized dry movements is the dissemination of truth and the creation, | organization. and public sentiment. portant things to crystallization of be done by to cooperate with the antialcohol senti- ment of the other countries of the worid, so that the wine industries of souvnern Europe, the beer interests of Germany, the vodka interests of Russia and the ale and whisky interests of Great Britain and other countries shall be kept busy defening themselves at home instead of being permitted as a great international liquor organization, to concentrate on the effort to break down and nullify, and destroy prohibi- tion in the United States. Bishop Defends Youth, The practicability of prohibition en- forcement has been amply proved wherever enforcement has not been vitiated by venal officials and selfish politicians, according to the Rev. Dan- jel A. Poling, rector of the Marble Col- legiate Church and president of the International Society of Christian En- deavor, in an address to the meeting jJast night. Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, of the Chi- cago area Methodist Episcopal Church, took to task the slanderers of the young people of the day, and declared that the stream of the youth that goes to dissipation now is a mere trickle as compared with the flood that went that way 25 and 50 years ago. Dinwiddie Back in Fold. “The great liars about our boys and girls are the liquor advocates of the current period,” Bishop Hughes said. “If by telling falsehoods about the new generation they can win their terrible point, they are quite willing to pay the price of untruth,” he declared. He added that on the whole America never had as sober youth as it has at present. Dr. Francis Scott McBride stressed the need to educate public sentiment so as to put into office, from President to mayor, those who will maintain con- stitutional government. The time is ripe, he said, to say to’ New York, Maryland and Montana, that they can no: take their States away from the _ Constitution and stay in the Union. f Yesterday's meeting marked the re- urn to the Antisaloon League fold of 'thony, 1801 H street northwest. with | Ernest Hz. | eve 18 | Dr. Edwin C.

Concerning the Bureau of Efficiency investigators she said: “The controversy arose out of com- Plaints made by Joseph Sandford, chief probation officer, to Mr. Howard Gill, ‘efficiency expert of the Bureau Mr. Sandford has since Commerce Rights | been appointed to Mr. Gill’s position in the bureau. It is curious, but none the less a notable fact, that the ‘ef- _Senate and the House of Representa- ficiency experts’ have never indicated lated freely during the months in various parts of the coun- try, asking enforcement of the four- teenth amendment to the Constitu- tion. The petition stated: “Much success has thus far attended efforts of reactionary communities to rob colored American citizens of the right to vote on terms of equality with ' their white fellow citizens, but the im- |mediate penalty paid by those com- 'munities has been to find themselves | pushed backward into the least pro- gressive communities of the land. They have fallen behind economically and educationally, and politically they represent ideas which have brought to many parts of the world upheaval and revolution. “Failure of the Federal Government to carry out the provisions of the Con- stitution, which guarantee Republican forms of government to every State in 'the Union, has resulted in lawlessness 'on such a widespread scale that even Southern officials have become alarmed io the situation. We most respect- | fully call upon the Congress of the | United States to carry out its sworn | obligation to protect and defend the | Constitution of the United States, to | the end that the rights of all citizens |may be secured under Republican | forms of government.” Members of the committee which presented the petition were Dr. George Fraser Miller, W.

The efforts of the investigators were not used to discover whether or not real efficiency under all circumstances exists, but to magnify out of all pro- portion alleged incidents in the failure of employes, which failures, even if established by the investigators, bear so slight a relation to the work as a whole as to be absolutely negligible if tested by informed people or a fair tribunal. Even if established, it is in- dicative only of the lapse of an indi- vidual and not the failure of the plan of service or the system. It was an attempt on the part of the investi- gators, who already had their minds made up, to find something wrong with the service in order to justify their preconceived conclusions, “The main questions for record are as follows: “Children should be separated from adults, but in the accomplishment of this it is not necessary to transfer the children from the Woman’s Bureau to the Board of Public Welfare. “When children and adults are in separate buildings, with proper equip- ment, the problem of administration is simplified and were this accomplished by the Woman’s Bureau there would remain no reason for the transfer of children to any other agency.” | | | | i ' POST ANNIVERSARY EDITION IS PRAISED CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2. a remarakable piece of work, and I con- gratulate him, Mr. McLean and The Post staff.

Fitzgerald, Demo- crat. Republicans will control the city council. Mrs. Bessie F. Dewey, Democrat, was elected as the first woman alderman. Patterson Mansion Cost Coolidge $500 a Month President Coolidge paid $500 a month rent for the Patterson Mansion at Du- pont Circle while the White House was being repaired, it was revealed yester- day in the report of a recent executive hearing before the House appropria- tions committee. Discussion of the President’s ex- penses while he and Mrs. Coolidge were away from the White House took place when Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant 3d appeared before the committee to ask for appropriations for his. office. Col. Grant is in charge of public buildings and grounds, which include the White House. ; Congress gave the President an ap- propriation of $25,000 for rent when he had to move out of the White House, Col. Grant said, but he explained that the President spent only $3,500. Re- pairs and other expenseg at the tex porary White House, he said, totaled $6,203.22. The house is owned by Mrs. Elmer Schlesinger. Col. Grant asked the committee for $600 to buy new window shades for the White House; $200 me, piestering in the executive offices; $2, for repairs to the balustrade and tile work on the two terraces; $3,000 for a small boiler to reduce the cost of heating and to pro- vide hot water in summer; $3,000 for overhauling the roof of the executive officers, and a gum to replce old furni- ture and rugs: Col.

ADMIRING WASHINGTON, THEY BOOST FOR KANSAS Boast That Value of Crops This Year Is More Than $542,000,000. Thirty-two real “dirt” farmers from Kansas, including the “wheat king” and the “potato king” of that State, came to Washington yesterday. They passed most of the day at the Capitol, where farm legislation has caused such a rumpus, and today they will make a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon. Before they leave the city they will call on President Coolidge at the White House. The farmers, a husky-looking lot, are on a sightseeing tour of seven cities, sponsored by Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas. The party is in charge of Floyd B. Nichols, managing editor of the Kansas Farmer, one of Senator Capper’s publications, Boost for Kansas. The visitors expressed themselves as being thrilled by Washington, but that didn’t stop them from boosting Kan- sas. Their State, they pointed out, leads the world in wheat production and the total value of all its crops this year is more than $542,000,000. The party left Topeka November 27 and visited Chicago, Detroit, Schenec- tady, New York and Philadelphia be- fore coming here. Their next stop will be Akron, Ohio. The purpose of the tour, it was explained by Senator Cap- per, is to give-the farmers an oppor- tunity to study the agricultural and in- dustrial East at first hand, and to get a better understanding of what in the middle West is known as the “Eastern viewpoint.” Guest at Dinner. At the Capitol yesterday, the farm- ers, all of whom are leaders in their own communities, met the Speaker of the House, Nicholas Longworth, and the Republican leader in the Senate. who is their own senior. senator. Charles Curtis. Last night they were the guests of Senator Capper at a din- ner in the Temple of Agriculture, 1731 I street northwest. M. T. Kelsey, of Topeka, is the “po- tato king” in the party. and Albert Weaver, of Bird City, is “wheat king.” Others in the party are H. O. Peck, Her- man Zwick, George T. Baker, Karl Kob- litz, A. J.

PARK FUNDS ASKED BY COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Association Requests Con- gress to Enable Board to Purchase Land. Congress was urged to appropriate an increased fund to the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, to en- able it to purchase land needed for parks and playgrounds in congested sections of the city before real estate values soar higher, in a resolution adopted by the Columbia Heights Citi- School, last night. Another resolution, approving the proposed bill which would enable the commission to borrow $10,000,000 from the Federal Treasury, with the under- standing that the money would be re- paid by the District in five years, pre- cipitated a storm in the association. Arguments for and against the loan were made for more than an hour, and it was finally voted to defer action on the resolution until the next meeting. A resolution favoring the retention of married women teachers in public schools also met with considerable op- position. After arguing the question for nearly an hour they voted to wait until the next meeting before taking action. The Public Utilities Commis- sion was commended for its action in restricting the number of one-man Cars in a resolution introduced by W. I. Swanton. Twenty new members were elected to membership. Alton B. Carty, president of the association, presided. SHAW, WEDDED 50 YEARS, GIVES DINNER Former Treasury Head Gives Wife Loving Cup on Anniversary. A golden loving cup was presented by former Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw to his wife at a dinner commemorating their golden wedding anniversary last night at the Wardman Park Hotel. There were 66 guests at the dinner including Mr. and Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo. Mr. McAdoo was a successor of Mr. Shaw to the portfolio of the Treasury. Since Mr. Shaw’s retirement from business a few years ago, the couple have been residing at the Ward- man Park Hotel here in winter, and in California in summer. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw were married December 6, 1877, the day on which the first issue of The Post occurred, 60 that the anniversary of the founding of The Post and their golden wedding anniversary were commemorated on the same day.

Message read. Majority Leader Tilson introduced resolution approving the appointment of Republican members on the com- mittee on appropriations and on the ways and means committee, which was adopted. Minority Leader Garrett introduced a similar resolution with regard to Dem- ocratic appointees to these committees, and this was adopted. Representative Moore, of Virginia, read a resolution paying tribute to the late Joel Grayson, who was superin- tendent of the House document room. Ways and means committee reported $236,000,000 tax reduction bill. Appropriations committee $198,000,000 deficiency bill.

FOURTEENTH STREET FIGHT TO BE DROPPED Other Big Programs Are Held Likely to Meet the Same Fate. Less attention will be devoted to numerous bills for local legislation by the Commissioners before this session of Congress than. has been the case heretofore. This policy was informally adopted by the District government at the semiweekly meeting of the Com- missioners yesterday The Commissioners will concentrate their efforts on their drive to induce Congress to return to the. 60-40 plan of financing the loca! government and will subordinate everything eise to that. First oi the measures that have been before previous sessions to fall before the new policy was the bill to open Fourteenth street northwest through Walter Reed Hospital grounds. Airport Bill Secondary. Last year much energy was devoted to an attempt to have this Dill enacted. Col. William B. Ladue, engi- neer Commissioner brought the sub- ject up for discussion with his col- leagues yesterday and it was decided not to present it as a Commissioners’ bill and not to press it if introduced otherwise. Some of the large: issues that have engaged the attention of the Commis- sioners may share the same fate. An airport woill will be sent to Congress and authority for large expenditure by the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission for park sites will be sought. But even these projects may be permitted to languish, it is said, unless the preferred topic of revision of fiscal relations meets with a wel- come on the hill.

Park-Lexington Building, New ‘ork: Century Building, Chicago; Little Building, Boston General Motors Bullding Detroit: Commonwealth Trust Building, Philadelphia, Wednesday, December 7, 1927, MR. COOLIDGE’S PERSONAL DESIRE. The country is again told by President Coolidge that he does not choose to be a candidate next year. His statement of yesterday is frank and emphatic. He speaks of himself as having been elimi- nated from consideration and suggests that the party should vigorously continue the task of selecting “another candidate.” The very fact that Mr. Coolidge has found it necessary to reiterate his wish to eliminate himself proves that the Re- publican party has not abandoned its de- sire to renominate him. "In spite of the evident sincerity of the President’s per- sonal wish to retire, the question may be decided, not by him, but by the people of the United Statés. Do they wish him to retire? There is no evidence of it. Mr. Coolidge is more popular than ever. His suecess as President has been phe- nomenal and the public ascribes that suc- cess to him and not to circumstances. The country’s prosperity is credited to him. Of course no one wishes to see prosperity disappear. For this reason President Coolidge is preferred by the rank and file of Republicans over all others who may be considered for the Presidency next year. He has greater strength among independent voters than any other Republican could hope to gain. When the Republican national conven- tion assembles and the question arises, “Who is our best man?” there will be only one answer, in spite of Mr. Coolidge’s personal attitude. The sentiment of the country is unmistakable. The people have pondered since last August over Mr. Coolidge’s statement that he did not de- sire renomination. They have not con- vinced themselves that his personal de- sire should be binding upon them, espe- cially when they consider the uncertain- ties that must accompany a change of chief magistrates. If the Republican na- tional convention should sweep away all other candidates and call upon Mr. Cool- idge to remain at his post, it does not seem possible that he would insist upon placing his personal desires above his public duty. It is an unprecedented situation. No one doubts that if Mr. Coolidge had not issued his statement in August he would have been renominated without question. His statement of yesterday does not de- stroy the popular desire that he should head the Republican ticket next year. It is his desire against the desire of his party. If the present situation extends into the next Republican national conven- tion there need be little doubt as to which desire will prevail. HOUSE REAPPORTIONMENT. Another attempt is to be made by the House of Representatives to comply with that clause of the Constitution which directs that a reap- portionment of répresentation shall be made following each decennial census. It is seven years since the Census Office reported the pop- ulation of the country as of 1920. Since that report was received there have been several attempts to reach an agreement upon a basis - of representation, but as no plan can be de- _ gigned that will not cut down the number of seats assigned to some of the States, unless. the total membership of the House is materially increased, no progress whatever has been made. Representative Tilson, Republican leader of the House, has declared himself in favor of ’ passing a reapportionment bill during the pres- ent session. The fact that another cénsus will be under way before it will be possible to re- district the States under any plan which may be agreed upon, should not, in the opinion of the floor leader, prevent action now. Mr. Tilson points out what every one has known for some time, that many States that have largely in- - creased in population since the last apportion- a _ ment do not have their proper representation in the House. _ American voters,” he declares, “are partially _- disfranchised because the present membership - does not ‘truly reflect the population of the. “Hundreds of thousands of ee country, and this is a state of affairs which \ can not continue indefinitely if we are to pre- ‘serve popular government.” _ -While admitting that nothing can be done _ how which will make a reapportionment ef- fective before the new census is taken in 1930, Ao - in the opinion of the leader “some plan must be be worked out and adopted at this Congress - whith will show that we intend to perform our constitutional duty and make the House of Representatives a truly representative body.” -“It is never too late to mend,” although it is \ difficult to see how the sudden disposition of Congress to obey the Constitution after sleep- ing on the proposition for seven years will help those “‘hundreds of thousands of American voters” who have “been partially disfran- chised” for at least five years, and who have no chance to obtain their constitutional rights before the assembling of the Seventy-second Congress four years hence. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. The American citizen who reads Presi- dent Coolidge’s message to Congress will have in small compass a remarkably clear and comprehensive survey of the “state of the Union.” The message is packed full of information. As for recommenda- tions, the President’s views reflect those of the great body of the people. He is supported by public opinion when he sug- gests that Congress limit its legislation on flood control to the problem presented by the lower Mississippi. On tax reduc- tion Mr. Coolidge stands firmly behind Secretary Mellon, warning Congress that stern economy is necessary and that too radical tax reduction would be unwise. Public operation of the merchant ma- rine is not a success. Mr. Coolidge urges Congress to dispose of present .vessels and not to enter upon new construction. No doubt a special message will be con- veyed by him on this subject before Con- gress adjourns. It is one of the most im- portant and urgent problems now before Congress. Mr. Coolidge suggests the development of air mail routes to Cerltral and South America, and also calls attention to the importance of fostering good roads throughout this hemisphere. He also urges repeal of the old law which ham- pers the parcel post facilities between this country and Cuba. Every farmer in the United States should read what Mr. Coolidge has to say on farm relief. He favors practicable plans for helping agriculture, but is as firmly opposed as ever to such schemes as the McNary-Haugen subsidy. On the subject of national defense, and particularly increase of the Navy, Presi- dent Coolidge’s message will attract at- tention throughout the world. He strikes a clear American note and admin- isters a rebuke to British propagandists that is calculated to make their ears burn. He makes no concealment of the fact that the British government blocked the Geneva conference. While he does not seize upon Britain’s action as justification for increasing the United States Navy, he does remind Congress that “we now know that no agreement can be reached that will be inconsistent with a consid- erable building program on our part.” “We can plan for the future and begin a moderate building program.” “The size of the Navy which America is to have is solely for America to determine.” “The attitude of any other country is not to be permitted to alter our policy.” ‘“‘Propa- ganda will not cause us to change our course.” These sentences, spoken by the Presi- dent of the United States, will be heeded abroad. They breathe the will of America. Congress is in the same mood as the President. The Navy will be in- creased. The refusal of foreign powers to agree to limit naval power, after they had entered into Mr. Coolidge’s confer- ence for the express purpose of making such an agreement, releases the United States from holding back its necessary national defense in the hope that general naval limitation could be accomplished. Congress can now go ahead and provide the cruisers that are needed, confident that President Coolidge will not recom- mend any further postponement of the program. Geneva was a bitter lesson, but it was a salutary lesson, nevertheless. It taught the United States to rely upon its own strength for its own defense. The lip service of foreign powers in favor of naval limitation proved to be idle talk when the test came. Never again will Americans call upon foreigners to limit naval armaments. They can build as much as they please, and the United States will do the same. DOUBLING COLLEGE TEAMS. Fielding S. Yost, coach of the University of Michigan football better known as “Hurry Up,” has announced that next year Michigan will be represented on the gridiron by two teams, theoretically of equal caliber. Since most of the schedules in the Western Conference are already made up, however, it is probable that one team will bear the brunt of conference competition during 1928. There- after, “‘Hurry Up” Yost will have two teams playing every Saturday during the season, each capable in every department of the game of representing the University of Michigan. The plan is in line with the scheme of enlarging intramural and major sports competition, and is designed to give many good athletes a chance which the limited personnel of the varsity squad forbids. The two-team football schedule also follows out the recommendations for football reform of President Ernest M. Hopkins, of Dartmouth College. The Hopkins plan, among other mat- ters, advocated the scheduling of major games on the reciprocal basis by which each college would develop from the varsity squad two teams, one of which would play at home and the other on the rival’s home grounds. Pos- sibly this is what the Yost scheme will lead to. There is a great deal to be said for reciprocal football games. Primarily develop- team, | ment of two teams makes possibie athletic & ran “= a @ De kat) Oe ee ey ee i! + Spas ‘ INGTC se y AS competition by twice as many students, a highly desirable development. In addition, with re- ciprocal games played simultaneously, there would be less tendency for a wholesale move- ment of student bodies upon the eve of big games with its attendant problems. On the other hand, it will be no easy task to develop two teams of equal caliber, for there are al- ways bound to be individual stars, drawing cards, who can not participate in two games at once. Nevertheless, the development will be watched with interest. This much may be said, that if there are twice as many teams playing throughout-the country, twice as many people will be able to watch and enjoy the great college sport. FLAUNTING PUBLIC OPINION. The United Cigar Stores Co. has challenged the authority of the Commission of Fine Arts by announcing its determination to construct a building on the northeast corner of Four- teenth and E streets according to the original plans, which were severely criticized some time ago by the commission. This action brings into the open the question whether or not an official or semiofficial body should have regu- latory power over private construction projects in Washington. Pennsylvania avenue occupies an unique his- torical position in the hearts of all Americans. It has been a matter of regret for years that “the first thoroughfare of the land” should be disfigured by ugly and squalid buildings. Now this is to bé rectified as far as the southern side of the Avénue is concerned, and it was believed that private interests, actuated by patriotic as wéll as material motives, would be guided by the demands of the Fine Arts Commission as they rebuilt the northern side of the Avenue. The Fine Arts Commission can not compel the corporation to change its plans. By the time suitable legislation is enacted the build- ing will have been constructed and, once built, its demolition can not be ordered. It is par- ticularly unfortunate that a structure of this type is to go up on this particular corner, for it is one of the most commanding locations along the Avenue and ultimately will front upon a spacious park and plaza. The building will be a reproach to the United Cigar Stores and an affront to the people of Washington. Washington has implicit faith in its Fine Arts Commission and is inclined to stand back of it to a man. It is not good business to fly in the face of public opinion. TRANSATLANTIC PLANS. Capt. Renee Fonck, French ace and unsuc- eessful transatlantic flier, has announced plans to form a $20,000,000 corporation for the pur- pose of inaugurating a regular passenger and mail air line connecting the United States and a point in Europe to be selected. Louis Bleriot, first man to fly across the English Channel, some time ago announced similar plans. The Fonek planes probably will fly between the United States and Europe via the Azores, hot only in order to take advantage of the islands in. case of forced descent, but also so that the most favorable air currents can be utilized. At least two years of preliminary work will be necessary, it is said, before opera- tion can be started, for the project is being organized systematically and conservatively in order to put transatlantie air trave! on a secure basis. Plans for regular transatlantic air service thus far announced are notable for the absence of American names in their organizations. It would be a pity, with the record of last sum- mer’s achievements safely tucked away, if other nationals would be first in this develop- ment. America has demonstrated that it can build planes capable of outstanding perform- ance. It has developed aviators as capable as those of any other nationality. American capi- tal, in the past, has not held back from pioneer- ing ventures. One would think, then, that the race for development of transatlantic flying services would be between rival American cor- porations. : Possibly the French plans are premature. Nevertheless there is much to be gained by being early upon the field. It may be also that American plans are being laid in secret and that when the time is ripe the United States will occupy this field. It can not stay out forever. HALF A CENTURY OF SUCCESS. (From the Washitigton Evening Star.) Marking its fiftieth anniversary, The Wash- ington Post today presents a jubilee edition which is notable as an achievement of journal- ism as well as commemoration of the first half century of that newspaper. It is the Star’s cherished privilege to congratulate The Post both upon this attainment of a long span of useful service and upon the anniversary number. Washington, once khown as the “graveyard of néwspapers,’”’ has seén the inauguration and the passing of many journalistic efforts. Since the Civil War, however, there have been but few births and deaths in this field. The Post came into existence on the 6th of December, 1877, and its own span of life covers the pe- riod of comparative stability in the field of journalism at the Capital. It has been a worthy exponent of newspaper enterprise, always well presented, attractive in appearance and sub- stantial in policy. It has won and held the respect of the community, and its prosperity has been the deserved reward of sound manage- ment. In the edition which appears this morning marking the completion of the first fifty years of The Post’s life is presented an epitome of Washington during the half century. It has been a notable time, marked by steady advance- ment of the community toward the ideal cher- ished by all local ihtere&8ts and in an increas- ingly constructive manner by the national rep- resentatives who are the constitutional legisla- tive guardians of the District. In this develop- ment The Post has played an important part. It has been sincere and éarnest, diligent and indefatigable in its advocacy of projects mak- / ing for a greater Washington, for the correc- tion of evils, the création of beauties and the evolution of thd model city. A high journalistic standard has guided The Post during its half century of existence. It commands atténtion and respect. Occupying as it does an important position in the morning newspaper field, it wields an influence reaching beyond Washington, and in its administration it has recognized this responsibility. The Star, now approaching its own seventy- fifth anniversary—it will reach that point next week—is proud of the cooperation and good will that have marked the relations ofthese two newspapers. It feels that the success won by The Post is a tribute to the discriminating judgment of the people of this city, and it hopes that long béfore The Post shall have reached its seventy-fifth birthday and itself the “etait mek as —— Rin which both ers have striven for Washington will have Bosh tully attained, Be “— ee eee i ~ vs 7 Rea — « — ———- — ~ ee ee \ * AWN WG \N \\ a A ay hs Oe at ee SESE te ” i St ER os ate aah ee ice 1 as mee geen % 7 a ee RE!

Williams, a Missouri former senator, in an address before the Oklahoma State Bar Association at Tulsa, challenged the validity of the eighteenth amendment on the grounds that the method of its ratification violated the sovereign rights of the people. He asserts that Article V of thé Constitution and the records of the Constitutional Convention show that the people reserved unto them- selves all national powers not delegated to Congress. On this»hasis he argued that the intent of the Constitution and of the Constitutional Convention was, and is, that all amendments which pro- pose to delegate national powers to the Government P| addition to those origi- nally del d must be submitted the people if conventions, not, to the State legislatures, for ratification. As- suming that his arguments are as rea- sonable as they are interesting, the ef- fect of this “bombshell” may eventually reach the Supreme Court. But it faces a considerable barrier in the inertia of ten years, during which no one has questioned the constitutionality of rati- fication of thé eighteenth amendment py the legislatures. BURBANK’S ACCOMPLISH- MENTS. At Sebastopol fruits, flowers and shrubs are growing that may, in time, add millions of dollars to the wealth of the world, comments the Sen Francisco Chronicle. They are succesé#ful experi- ments of Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, who died in 1926. Since his déath a research bureau has been making a survey of this magic garden. A partial survey has diclosed 120 new piums, 18 new peaches, 10 new berries, 500 hybrid roses, 30 new cher- ries, 34 new pears, 27 néw prunes, 5 new grapes and 52 new giladiolil. There is a wide assortment of new flowérs—Shasta daisies, petunias and tritomas, and many “different” vegetables, such as a déco- rative, rainbow corn, -artichokes, rhu- barb ahd asparagus. None of them has been reported to the world, none of them distributed. A YULE FANCY. By WILLIAM TIPTON TALBOTT.

To the Editor of The Post: Sir—No stronger indictment against the efficacy of a law has ever been drawn than that by the elections in Illinois and Penn- sylvania last year against the consti- tutional amendment making senators elective by popular vote. The argument for the constitutional change was that it would give the people the opportunity to say by direct vote who should repre- sent them in the Senate. The argu- ment was fallacious. No legislature was ever accused of electing a2 man to the Senate who was not the choice of the party. They were elected without the necessity or opportunity for the cx- penditure of large sums of money. The present system makes such expenditure necessary. It will be a great day for the country when a Congress is elected bold enough to propose going back to the old method. It would receive the enthusiastic indorsement of the people, A. J. SMYTHE. What Protects a State? To the Editor of The Post: Sir—You Reed, of Missouri, as saying: “If the Senate does not have the right to protect its own integrity, then there is no power out- side of the Senate to protect that in- tegrity.” Is not the action of the Missouri senator an open and unwar- ranted attack on the integrity of Penn- sylvania and Illinois? What power is there to protect the integrity of a State if Senator Reed succeeds in his efforts to keep the senators-elect of those two States from being given their seats? Is our Constitution, of which we have been boasting all these years, only a scrap of paper? The exclusion of Vare and Smith is an attack upon the in- tegrity of the Constitution. Pennsylva- nia and Illinois have just as much right to make their own selection for the Senate as has the State of Missourt. They have made their choice, and should their choice be rejected, all the country will rejoice if those States will promptly reelect the same men. A CONSTITUTIONALIST. When Pigs Fly, That’s When. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Will you permit me to add to the question- naire that is now being propounded through your columns. You will, I know, pardon m. if my questions take @ political turn, as politics, since we have quit gushing over Ruth Elder, is the major topic before the public. When will the House committee on ways and means choose to take the ad- vice in framing a revenue law of some one who knows something about taxa- tion and business? When will Republican Senator Nor- ris choose to vote with his Republican colleagues? admit that somebody besides himself knows something? When will Senator Pat Harrison choose to admit that President Coolidge has done something right? When will Senator Jim Reed choose to permit the people of Illinois and Pennsylvania to elect senators Without asking his approval? When will the Senate choose to let Vice President Dawes write its rules? When will Congress choose to soothe Nary plaster? My mental vision can find but one answer to these questions. Those things will not happen until “The pigs begin to fly in the air.” NOTEWORTHY. We Doubt It.

Our marine and naval forces protected our citizens and their property and prevented a heavy sacrifice of life and the destruction of that country by a reversion to a state of revolution. Henry L. Stimson, former Secretary of War. was sent there to cooperate with our diplomatic and military officers in ef- fecting a settlement between the con- tending parties. This was done on the assurance that we would cooperate in restoring a state of peace where our rights would be protected by giving our assistance in the conduct of the next presidential election, which oc- curs in a few months. With this as- surance the population returned to their peace-time pursuits, with the ex- ception of some small roving bands of outlaws. In general, our relations with other countries can be said to have improved within the year. While having a due regard for our own affairs, the protec- tion of our own rights, and the ad- vancement of our own people, we can afford to be liberal] toward others, Our example has become of great import- ance in the world. It recognized that we are independent, detached, and can and do take a disinterested i- tion in relation to international af- fairs. Our charity embraces the earth. Our trade is far flung. Our financial favors are widespread. Those who are peaceful and law-abiding realize that not only have they nothing to fear from us, but that they can rely on our moral support. Proposals for promot- ing the peace of the world will have careful consideration. But we are not a people who are always seeking for a sign. We know that peace comes from honesty and fair dealing, from modera- tion, and a generous regard for the rights of others. The heart of the Nation is more timportant than treaties. A spirit of generous consid- eration is a more certain defense than great armaments. We should continue to promote peace by our example, and | fortify it by such international cove- nants against war as we are permitted under our Constitution to make. American Progress. . Our country has made much prog- ress. But it has taken, and will con- tinue to take, much effort.

Finch Really Talks, Bird Expert Asserts New York, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—The Afri- can finch, reputedly the most voluble member of the bird kingdom, doesn’t sing. It talks, Dr. William M. Patter- son, who is doing research work at Co- lumbia University, told the New York branch of the American Psychological Association. The finch has an alphabet of 24 let- ters and symbols and a vocabulary of about 300 words, Dr. Patterson said. He asserted his study of the bird showed it spoke in prose comparable to Sanscrit, Chinese, the language of the Hopi In- dians and English HEAD OF OHIO STATE SUFFERS COLLAPSE George W.

Committee Reports on “Hideous Campaign of Intimidation.” OTHER ALIEN RELIGIOUS GROUPS ALSO AFFECTED Particular Menace Is Seen in Student Anti-Semitic Outbursts. ne ee New York, Dec. 6 (A.P.).~—A “hideous campaign of intimidation and brutal-| ity” against Jews exists in Roumania, | the American committee on the rights | of religious minorities declared today in| & preliminary report on a survey of that country. This persecution, the committee as- serts, is not confined to Jews, but ex- tends in a lesser degree to other reli- gious minorities, including the Baptists, Hungarian-speaking Catholics. The committee, Lutherans which is composed of fifty citizens of the United States, sent a deputation of five to make a six weeks’ tour of Roumania by automobile, The committee has deferred definite action on the deputation’s report until | its members have been given an oppor- tunity to study the report in full. While there has been somewhat of a |! decrease in anti-Jewish terrorism, says the report, “‘theré have been excesses, acts of terrorism and such molestation of peaceful elements of the population as to cause continual fear and unrest.” What improvement there has been, the committee declares, is due to the fact that Jews have been so intimi- dated that they have absented them- selves in large part from the universi- ties and public life and to the fact that the virulance of the campaign has reacted unfavorably on Roumanian pres- tige abroad. Student Outbreaks “Menace.” * The commission points out the dan- | ger of the Roumanian student anti- semitic agitation and declares’ that “even worse is the complacency with which many people regard the attitude of certain professors and teachers toward these movements, not only con doning, but even encouraging them.” “We believe,” the report adds, ‘“‘that this bitterness is not representative of the enlightened opinion of the great body of university professors and school teachers of Roumania.” The violence of which the Baptists and other groups complain, says the report, is actual and “constitutes a charge of religious persecution and therefore endangers the highest in- terests of the state, church and the prestige of the nation.” The commission in calling the Rou- manian government's attention to the situation of the Hungarian-speaking Lutheran churches urges that a legal status satisfactory to them be estab- lished and that a speedy and satisfac- tory settlement be made of the rela- tions between the government and the Roman Catholic minorities, particularly in the Banat, the western borders of Bucovina. A’ wide discrepancy exists, the report states, between the constitution, which it finds is liberal in many respects, and its enforcement, especially in the outly- ing districts. The report censures the Roumanian government for its attempt to abolish the confessional schools and urged that the minorities be permitted to have the kind of schools to which they are accustomed, giving them the full right to teach the historic languages of their respective peoples as well as the Roumanian tongue. The commission declares it was im- pressed with the native intelligence, industry, kindly disposition and friendliness of the Roumanian people, but declares it “extremely unfortunate” that the State church should have sanctioned the National Christian De- fense League and the National Rou- Students’ Union, whose programs and publications, the commission declares, “a disgrace to our civilization, an insult to the name of Christian, and a black spot on the fair name of Roumania.” The deputation consisted of Dr. Henry A. Atkinson, general secretary of the American committee, also gen- eral secretary of the Church Peace Union; the Rev. R. A. McGowan, of the Social Action Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference; the Rev. John Howland Lathrop, Uni- tarian pastor of Brooklyn, N. Y.; the Rev. Dr. Graham C. Hunter, Presby- terian pastor of Fullerton, Calif., and M. Jules Jezequel, Paris repre- sentative of the Church Peace Union. Street Riots Reported In Former Magyar City Budapest, Hungary, Dec. 6 (A.P.).— Reports from the Hungarian-Rouma- nian frontier indicate that serious dis- orders occurred Monday in the town of Nagyvarad. This was formerly in Hun- gary, but is now annexed to Roumania. Many persons are said to have been seriously injured in the disorders and a Hungarian actor stabbed to death in the street. The streets of Nagyvarad have been deserted since yesterday, the tramway services have ceased and all shops are closed. Soldiers and police are reported to be patrolling the streets, the citizens being afraid:to leave their houses. Demonstrations, in which many were roughly handled, also are reported ait Arad, Transylvania. The disorders developed into some- what sanguinary conflicts, and the at- tendance of several thousand students | from various parts of Transylvania sor @ congress was the occasion of demon- | strations, which were first anti-Jewish, but became anti-Magyar. The offices of two Hungarian newspapers, together with the printing plant, and also the offices of the Catholic Union Society and the residence of Chief Rabbi Leo- pold Kecskemeti were destroyed. The police were helpless, but, reinforced by gendarmes and a troop of cavalry, finally tored order "RITES FOR PERRY V. HOUGH . Pi Py j a Fa . a Wes 4 Crittenden street, Monday 3 x a ‘ be 4 .

These accounts were to the effect that as Sanderson took the stand Wed- nesday an aluminum frying pan of the kind he sells was dropped on the floor and then handled by two men in such a way as to attract the witness’s atten- tion. It was immediately after his eyes had fallen on these men and the frying pan that he said he could not identify Beach. As soon as he had given this testimony the frying pan was wrapped in paper and carried from the court- room, The story was that after Sanderson had testified before the grand jury, two strangers picked an acquaintance with him in New York while buying a frying pan from him. They then were reported to have taken him on a “wild party.” All lawyers in the case have declined to comment on the re- port that when Sanderson’s eye was caught by the frying pan in court he recognized the two friends of the “wild party” and, taking their presence and actions to constitute a threat that if he did not change his testimony his wife would be informed of the party. All this is supposed to be contained in the affidavit.

A requiem mass for John Heil, 78 years old, who died Sunday at his resi- dence, 2313 H street northwest, will be solemnized at 9 o'clock this morning in St. Stephen’s Church. Interment will be in St. Mary’s Cemetery. The death of Mr. Heil tragically ended the anticipation with which he and his wife, Mrs. Augusta Heil, looked forward to the celebration on February 19 of their fiftieth wedding anniver- sary. In accordance with an ancient German custom they were on that da to renew their marriage vows and par- ticipate in the same ceremony that marked the first happy day of their junion.

' threw three more shots at him,” Jones | continued. | “I saw him running up the alley |kinda limping like and I knew I’d hit (him, so I ran out of the apartment and started after him. He ran and |jumped over a fence and I was right |behind him. When I went over that |fence I thought I was going over the ‘top again. He jumped up off the | ground when I came. over the fence and |started running some more. Just then |a policeman came running in the alley 'and 1 showed him where the man had {run to and stepped back so I wouldn’t ‘be in the way.” | The alley is only half a block from the Third Precinct Station and the sounds of the shots were heard plainly by reserves on duty there. Within a few minutes the police squad had sur- rounded the alley and began the search. Once they flushed the man and he | started running toward an old shack on a lot in the rear of 917 Twentieth street. Hundreds of residents of apart- ments and. houses near the alley leaned from their windows and called the at- tention of police to the man. Blood Found in Shack. The police threw their flashlights in the shack and saw nothing. This aft- ernoon, about twelve hours after the unsuccessful hunt, an unidentified woman telephoned to the Third Pre- cinct Station and reported she had just seen a man limp out of the shack hold- ing his abdomen as if in intense pain. A squad of reserves were immediately rushed to the shack and searched it. They found a pool of blood in one cor- ner and drops of blood leading across the lot. A pool of blood was also found today at the spot where the man was standing when Jones shot at him. All hospitals and physicians have been asked to be on the lookout for the man. Before attempting to enter the apart- mnt above his quarters, Jones said, the man climbed into the apartment of Miss Evelyn Kline on the first floor. Miss Kline moved in her sleep and the man lowered himself from the window and came to the other apartment win- dow, Jones said. Jones said he watched the man for almost 20 minutes. He moved slowly and delibrately, according to Jones. After placing the padding over his shoes he pulled up the collar of his coat and pulled his cap farther down over his face and drew a pistol from his pocket, Jones said. “I was only about 5 feet from him and I could have killed him with that first shot, but my wife pulled my arm and said. ‘Don’t kill that man here.’” Jones asserted. Also Saw Man Sunday. Jones said he found the man stand- ing in the alley Sunday night in the shadow of a shed. “I walked up to him, but before 1 could ask him what he was doing he asked me for a match and then asked me how much I charged for apartments in my building, and when I told him he walked away,” Jones said. Jones is positive he can identify the man if he is captured. Police believe the man is the Cat, that he had de- serted his hunting grounds in Cleve- land Park and was seeking new victims when he was shot. Meanwhile many others are eeagerly seeking a clew to the identity of the Cat, ' stimulated by The Post’s offer of $500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the burglar guilty of _ series of robberies credited to the at.

Special to The Washington Post. Hollywood, Calif., Dec. 6—The next time Clara Bow goes in for football in her parlor she will wear boxing gioves. Clara was entertaining the members of the coast champion Uni- versity of Southern California Eleven at tea Sunday afternoon. Clara was just as enthusiastic to ‘meet the boys as the boys were to accept the lovely redhead’s invitation. Of course, the conversation veered to footbali and how wonderful it must be to be a big strong man, capable of toying with the biggest and strongest |of other men, etc. The football players pepped up under 'Clara’s comment and Clara asked them to demonstrate a play. Jesse Hibbs, picked on many all-American team took the ball, dashed ‘around end, behind splendid inter- | ference, and slipped and knocked Clara for a goal. Clara’s right thumb was sprained when the boys upset her. X-rays today reassured her and her studio that the thumb was not broken. * ~ z * Don Jaime Del Rio, who is a whole lot of a personage himself besides being the husband of Dolores Del Rio, left for New York today. His mission is twofoid, to settle the sale of one parcel of the Del Ric lands in Mexico, and to seek to arrange for a Broadway showing of a play which bears his authorship. Dolores Del Rio is under treatment for skin poisoning. She was affected by contact with something like poison ivy on a vacation near Soboba Hot Springs last week, or else, her physician reports, an acid ointment intended to repel mosquitoes proved too potent, be- cause it contained iodine and bichlor- ides. = ~ Ps %: Testimony in the $250,000 damage suit over the shooting of the Peter the Great, film police dog, today disclosed that the motion picture studios paid $35,000 per picture for the services of the dog, shot by Fred Cyriacks, who admits the shooting but. contends that he was defending his home from in- trusion by the dog’s owners. a . % aE George O’Brien is traveling on crutches, having badly sprained his left leg and ankle on the set for one of his final scenes in “Sharpshooter.” George’s left foot slipped through a hole in the wooden floor of the set and he had to be carried off.

Possession of the advanced copies brought speculation as to whether he would discuss this question to an end. Mr. Butler, however, told the ar- riving committeemen that there would be no discussion on the subject so the wora gemerally got around to this effect. Reception in Blue Room. Whether reference after all was a last-minute decision and whether he had so intended to discuss the ques- tion, but took extra precautions to pre- vent a leak, is a matter o1 conjecture. It was Mr. Slemp who gave the news- paper men the best description of what happened in the east room. In the first place the guests were admitted into the blue room, where Mrs. Coolidge re- ceived the women, the great majority of men and women being dressed in- formally. They had gone directly to the White House from the Willard Hotel, where they had been sitting all day listening to the oratory of convention city contestants. Following the blue room reception they were ushered into the east room, where they were seated in chairs in front of a reading stand on which was one light covered by a globular blue shade. President Reads Speech. The President returned from a hur- ried visit to the Canadian Legation to pay his respects to Viscount Willingdon, Canadian governor general, visiting here. Attired formally in frock coat he walked into the east room accompanied by his secretary, Everett Sanders, and Col. Ed- ward Starling, of the White House secret service. He immediately began the reading of his address, which closely followed his annual message to Con- gress, read yesterday, except that there was what was taken as a reference to international bankers, who are trying to bring about a revision of the tariff. “While we believe the welfare of the people in general should have our first consideration,” he said, “we also have the supplementary desire of promoting the welfare of finance. We wish our banking institutions to be strong and profitable, in order that they may serve the needs of the Nation. We believe they should assist other people in sup- plying their credit requirements. We do not, however, think this should be done by sacrificing any other desirable comestic interest. We could not look with favor on putting in jeopardy our industry, or our agriculture, to serve the needs of foreign debtors. Here again we must maintain an even balance, while looking first to the welfare of our own people.” Thanks Committee Members, He thanked the committeemen for the work they had done for the party, he paid tribute to Chairman Butler and Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, of Kentucky, vice chairman. In the light of his sub- sequent remarks his reference to the party workers might very well be termed his “swan song.” He discussed the merchant marine, economy and said: “Unless I misread the convictions of my countrymen, we are likewise de- termined to enter into no convenant that assigns to the United States any secondary place among the naval pow- ers of the world. The question of how and when we should build up our fu- ture Navy to a full treaty strength would be for ourselves to decide. At present, we should contemplate neither superiority or inferiority, but merely provide for our own needs.” Finished reading that part of his speech that had been prepared for sev- eral days, he read the supplemental portion without a noticeable break in the continuity so far as the audience was concerned. Then he smiled, turned abruptly and left the room, followed by Sanders and Starling. Audience Is Bewildered. According to Slemp, everything was quiet then everybody turned to some one and said: “Well, what do you think of that?” The audience then arose mechanically and there was some scat- tered handclapping. It was not intend- ed as applause for his statement, but was simply the natural manifestation that follows a speech, with every one bewildered and saying: “Well, what do you think of that?” Mr. Slemp said he noticed no change in the President’s expression; and neither did Charles D. Hilles, of New York, vice chairman of the committee. Mr. Hilles incidentally described the statement as a “vigorous reaffirmation of his previous declaration” of a desire not to run. He said he saw no need of discussing the draft contingency at this time, There were those, however, who said the President seemed tense as he read his statement. There was no noticeable lowering or lifting of the voice, they said, but a tenseness which suddenly came over him and gripped them. Leaders to Watch Butler. It was the consensus in political circles that despite the fact that the President did not close the door against the draft, there should not now be any embarrassment to other aspirants, either active or otherwise. While the question as to the President’s future has largely resolved itself into a ques- tion of whether he would accept the draft, there is really no good reason, it was pointed out, why his attitude in such a contingency should be demanded. It would be the first time in the his- tory of the country that such a con- tingency ever occurred, and there is nothing except the activity of a small group, in so far as political leaders.are concerned, that gives reason to antici- pate that it may happen next year. In this connection, the activity of Chairman Butler, the friend of the President and his personal choice for the committee chairmanship, and main- spring in the draft movement hereto- fore, will be watched by politicians. So far as the rank and file of the or- ganization is concerned, it is asserted that they should now feel free to go wherever they please. The President’s statement has the unmistakable effect of releasing them. | my A commentary on Mr. Butler is a rather direct reference to him at the White House earlier in the day. It con Mr. Butler’s throwing his upport to Kansas City for the conven- tion selection. The President let it be known that he had no ‘choice and would not have one until all aspirants had beén heard. He doubted that Mr Butler would do otherwise. Yet this is exactly what the chairman did. He ad out the word for Kansas City Monday while the various cities were not formally heard until yesterday. Senator Fess, of Ohio, has been fore- Bill Would Prohibit Loud Talk at Capitol A bill making it unlawful, among other things, to “utter loud, threat- ening or abusive language” on the Capitol grounds was introduced in the House yesterday by Represen- tative Elliott, of Indiana. The bill would forbid the use of the Capito! or the Capitol grounds for parades, orations or celebrations except when such things are authorized by the architect of the Capitol. The bill specifies that these pro- visions shall not apply to the Capitol or its grounds where the House and Senate are concerned, and further specifies that they shall not be construed as prohibiting concerts by any band in the service of the United States when Congress is not sitting. ‘ie y ment upon the President’s statement was therefore considered significant. He said: “The President did not go as far in his statement as I expected he would go if he made a second statement. I can not yet read in the s.atement a re- fusal to accept the nomination if ten- dered to him after a deadlock. There is no doubt about the President not wanting to be a candidate. “He has taken himself out of consid- eration in so far ag his desire to be a candidate is concerned, but he has not closed the door to his renomination in the event of an emergency.” As to his future action under the cir- cumstances, he said: “I shall accept the situation that the President does not want to be a candidate, but I shall hold myself free to advise his nomination if if seems advisable.” The statement overshadowed the all day work of the national committee. It heard all of the contestants except Seattle which it is understood plans to withdraw, and is ready to ballot on the choice the first thing this morning. Kansas City and San Francisco were in a nip and tuck race last night, the indications being that they would both poll close to 40 votes on the first ballot. Five Cities Join Contest. At the outset yesterday morning the committee decided to limit each group seeking the convention to 30 minutes. Mrs. Charles Thomas, who with George Vitts, was recently nameca to the com- mittee from Wisconsin when Gov, Zim- merman threw his support to the Cool- idge organization and overthrew the LaFollette control, was given the honor by Butler of presenting a resolution t this end. She. offered it ahead of her cue, too, but Butler deferred it until he was-ready for it. Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, Kan- sas City, Cleveland and Philadelphia put forth their spellbinders in the order named, Cleveland calling on the venerable Representative Theodore N. Burton, and Philadelphia, on former Senator George Wharton Pepper.’ Gen- erally it was a case of who could say the most about its hospitality, hotel facilities, weather and the like, but Kansas City and Philadelphia made a political appeal. Former Gov. Hyde for the former, declared Missouri Repub- licans: need the kind of help that the psychological effect of a convention would give. It would create a friendly feeling, too, in the middle West, in Oklahoma and Kansas, he declared. Pepper, for Philadelphia, declared the Democratic candidate, undoubtedly re- ferring to Smith, will make the most trouble in the East and therefore, the conventic in Philadelphia would have its effect in New Jersey and New York. Detroit Makes Showing. It remaine¢c for Detroit to make the most impressive presentation, not that this has so much to do with votes. Charles Beecher Warren was in charge. He walked up.to the pres. table and tossed over a certified check for $125,- 000 almost giving the newspaper men heart failure. Then he paraded an ar- ray of former governors and other notables, including he grizzled vet- eran, former Representat ve Joseph W. Fordney, who was given an ovation and told a right risque joke. Detroit's famous “silent mayor,” John cC. Lodge, Lindbergh’s uncle, made a brief plea. He is angular featured, medium statured and spoke in a drawl that suggested another section of the country than Detroit. He promised if the convention came to Detroit he would give them one of the briefest welcomes it had ever received. Representative Florence P. Kahn was given an ovation when she pleaded San Francisco’s cause. Coolidge Edict Stirs Comment. But last night the President’s state- ment had temporarily submerged the convention city question. Former Senator Ernst, of Kentucky, walked from the White House with Butler. At first deciining ‘to say any- thing, he snapped: “He’s out. He’s definitely out,” con- tinuing to walk with Butler as he did so. “It’s settled,” hr added. Former Senator Pepper, of Pennsyl- vania, was another who saw the state- ment as definitely settling the con- troversy. “Whatever doubt may have existed no longer exists,” he said. “We must face the responsibility of selecting a candidate.” Other comment included “I told you so’s” by Pat Sullivan and Fred Hamlin, national committee men from Wyoming and lowa, respectively. They had always insisted the President was out of the race Mrs. George Orvis, committee woman from the President’s native State of Vermont, said it was “just what I had expected. Up in his own State we knew when we read his’ statement at Rapid City that he was out of it and he confirmed it todzy.” Earl Kinsley, committeeman from the same State, however, said he would have to study the statement more be- fore he could reach a conclusion. Others Accept Elimination. Subscribing to the thought that the statement definitely eliminated him were. Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, of New York; Dr. O. M. Landstrom, of Mon- tana; Mrs, George H_ Berry, of Mon- tana, former Gov. Campbell of Ari- zona; David Mulvane, of Kansas, and C. A. McCloud, of Nebraska. Hamilton Keane, of New Jersey prospective sena- torial candidate, said he was not so “positive” and would have to study the statement more. a Medill McCormick, of Illinois, sa “I think the President made himself Plain in August and his wishes are as plain now as any human being can make them. It would be a great dis- respect to interfere with the wishes of the President. He does not want to run.” Senator Borah, of Idaho, said: “I accepted the President’s first state- ment as taking him out of the race and tion.” There was a time recently, though, wher. the Senator is believed to have had his doubts. Curtis and Dawes Agree, Senator Curtis, of Kansas, avowed presidential candidate, commented: “My conclusion is that he has elimi- nated himself. It bears out the con- clusion I had already reached that he would not be a candidate in 1928.” Vice Fresident Dawes, whose chances for the nomination are believed to have been greatly enhanced: “I had accepted the statement of President Coolidge at Rapid City as final and I am not surprised at the reiteration of his decision.” . Senator Watson, of Indiana, a sup- porter of Dawes: most among the drafters.

Most of you took an active part in the conduct of that campaign. Both the primary and the election were under the im- mediate direction of the present chair- man, William M. Butler. These con- tests have always been a matter of much pride to me for the clean and | honorable way in which they were | made, They set a high standard in the management of political campaigns. For efficiency in operation, for the cleanness in finances, for a compre- hensive covering of the political field, the election of 1924, which was made under your direction, stands out unsur- passed. I feel that I ought to declare in this presence what I know, and what you must know, that too much credit for these results can’ not be given to your chairman, William M. Butler. In the delicate matter of assisting the women to take part in their first full presidential campaign, he had the very able assistance of Mrs. Alvin T. Hert. One of my chief desires in greeting you at the White House was the privilege of expressing to you in a somewhat formal way the appreciation that I have for the work which is done by political committees. For many years I was a member of the city committee of Northampton and at one time its chair- man, For years I was in close contact with our State central committee and our national committeeman, so that I know something whereof I speak when I say that political committees as in- struments of the science of self-govern ment are held in altogether too little esteem. They assist the people to function. They disseminate informa- tion... They encourage the voter to go to the polls. They are the ground- work organization, without which pop- ular government would almost fail of success. While we have faithful com- mittee members we have an additional assurance of worthy people in office through the action of an informed and vigorous public opinion. I should like to have you know, and trust that you can carry my opinion to the subdi- visions within your States, how im- portant in my estimation is the work which is done by political committees. Cites Need of Economy. You have been most considerate in the assistance you have rendered to me in the past, and I want you to know of my appreciation. You are all conscious of the great amount of labor that is at present necessary, ~nd always will ke necessary, to carry on the Government of the United States. It can not be efficient without popular support. There are always those who are willing to waste the resources of the people, usually with the best intentions. It is no easy matter to see to it that the people themselves remain in possession of the largest possible amount of their own earnings, free from the obligation to contribute them to an extravagant government. The temptation to spend the money is almost. overwhelming. This is a growing country. If it is to hold its place in civilization, it will be necessary to have intelligent manage- ment of Government finances, We have an enormous national debt, more than two-thirds of which still remains unpaid. There is no greater construc- tive action than to provide for its speedy retirement. Already it has cost the country over $8,000,000,000 in in- terest alone. This is about as much as we have paid on the principal. Put- ting our finances in good condition, eliminating waste, has enabled the Na- tional Govcrnment constantly to re- duce taxes, while almost very State and local government is searching for new. sources of revenue and increasing its taxes and debt. This means new handicaps on agriculture and industry; new burdens on the people. A careful supervision of our resources is placing us in a position to meet the coming requirements of a progressive people. We have many needs in the way of internal improvements to be made, both by public expense and pri- vate enterprise. One of the most press- ing is flood control in the lower Mis- sippi Basin. We shall be called on for much waterway development, river and harbor improvements and the construc- tion of a system of first-class high- ways. The agricultural regions will especially be benefited by a lower cost of transportation which the improve- ments would afford. Marine and Naval Program. Waterways and harbors, however, are useless without ships. Our Govern- ment operation of our merchant marine has been helpful in many ways, but it is far lacking of complete success, It would be much cheaper and far more beneficial to get it into private hands under some system of Government sup- port which would enable it to meet the lower costs of building and lower rates of wages of foreign shipping. We also have our Navy to maintain. Within a few years replacement of capital ships must begin. We should consider at once a moderate building program for cruisers and submarines. Our aviation system will need more air- plane carriers and our destroyer fleet will require additions of the leader type. Such a program will extend over a considerable period of years. It does not involve us in any competition with other countries, but will simply pro- vide us with a defensive Navy. We are thoroughly committed to the policy of limitation of naval armaments and ex- tremely hopeful that future conditions will bring it about. Unless I misread the convictions of my countrymen, we are likewise determined to enter into no covenant that assigns to the United States any recondary place among the naval powers of the -vorid. The ques- tion of how and when we should build up our future Navy to a full treaty strength would be for ourselves to de- cide, At present, we should contem- plate neither superiority nor inferiority but merely provide for our own needs. But, whatever arms we may have, it should be Known to ail the world that they are instruments of peace. No one need fear from them any aggression. Every one may regard them as a guar- antee of stability and a contribution to the peace of an enlightened civiliza- tion. ” Living Standards High. We have placed a great deal of im- portance in this country on the stand- ards of living. We have sought for a large production of wealth in order that there might be a wide distribution of wealth. We have been willing to pay good prices for commodities in order that there might be high wages for those who produce them. Under this system we have come into mass produc- tion, because we have provided the people with sufficient money to secure mass consumption. This has greatly reduced the unit cost of almost all kinds of commodities, so that the ordi- nary family can have a great variety not only of the necessaries, but of the - = quainted with the President believed he would say when the time came for him to make a more definite statement. He had the nomination in his hand when he chose to make his declaration last August. That statement meant that he was not a candidate and his declara- tion but clarifies and emphasizes the one previously made.” Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, who had planned to reintroduce his anti- third term resolution in the Senate: “I wish to look over the statement be- fore I make ahy comment,’ comforts, conveniences and even the luxuries of life. We want these condi- tions to exist for those who dweli on the farm or in the city, for the common laborer as well as the skilled artisan. This is the {deal for which advocates of economic reform have always been striving. It has been the subject of endless agitation and legislation. We are lately coming to realize that this result can be secured, not by economic reform, but by economic development. Encourage agriculture, industry and business generally, so that they can be operated profitably. Give them protec- tion from foreign competition and they will afford adequate income out of which high rates will be paid to their wage earners and a fair return to their owners. There is no other practical way to carry into the American home the economic independence which ought to be the lot of our citizens in general, and that happiness which should come from an industrious life. Because we have not sought to secure these ends through fantastic govern- ment intervention, they-are none the less the results of the great American experiment of insisting that the people have the power to work out their own destiny, which makes them personally responsible for their own success. No higher honor, no greater recognition of their innate sovereignty, their right to be free, can be conferred upon the peo- ple than the assertion of their duty to provide themselves with self-govern- ment. While we are working toward this high ideal, we know it has not been fully attained, The world is full of un- avoidable accidents, We are oftehtimes sufferers’ from the violence of the ele- ments and from bodily infirmities. The human race constantly needs the min- istrations of charity. Out of our abun- dance our country has provided a chari- table relief which no nation ever sur- passed. Its healing influence has been felt not only in our own land, but it ee out to the nations of the earth, Would Ban Sectionalism. It would seem that our country can go on under these fortunate conditions so long as we can maintain a fairly even balance among different and con- flicting interests. Such a balance, how- ever, is easily destroyed by appeals to sectionalism. It can not be too often declared that this is all one country. Different parts of it require different methods of life, of action, and of legis- lation. These should be freely granted by the other parts, and each should re- joice in the success of the other. Those neighborhoods which are still unde- veloped, which need capital to bring out their natural resources, should feel greatly pleased to know that they can rely on the sources of wealth in their own country to provide for their needs. The older and more stable localities should look with satisfaction on hav- ing aS a part of our country places still dominated by the restless enter- prising spirit of the pioneer, sometimes indulging in agitation, but in the end forming sound opinions, Agriculture, industry, transportation, and finance should realize that they are interde- pendent, and that each may prosper by extending its service to the others. In the immediate past certain elements of agricuiture have apparently been be- hind in the benefits of prosperity that others have enjoyed. That unfortu- nate condition has been gradually dis- appearing, until just at present agri- culture as a whole is better circum- stanced than some sections of industry If we do not permit selfishness to pre- vail, if we do not all undertake to make all the money there is in the country in one year, but are willing to proceed with modernation, intent on fair deal- ing, our economic prosperity should go on indefinitely. Tariff Preserves; Home Market. The greatest commercial advantage, both for agriculture and industry, lies in our enormous home market. It is the breadth of this market which has encouraged mass production on the farm and in the factory. So long as our own people have an advantage in this market they will heve an advantage in the world. No other nation has any- thing like it. That advantage is &e- cured by the policy of a_ protective tariff. If that were removed mass pro- duction in other countries, where the cost of the plant ana the rate of wages are far less than in America, would have an opportuni.y to develop, be- cause it would then have substantial equality in access to our own market where it undoubtedly could undersell domestic production We should have to reduce our people and our property to their levels in order to meet their competition. Otherwise, we should be forced out of business. Yet our present tariff rates do not, nor do we wish them to, close our markets’ to great bodies of imports. Lass year about $3,000,6000,000 worth of imports came in entirely free of duty. This was near- ly two-thirds of our entire imports, It is impossible to conceive how we can better contribute to the balance of trade in the world than to support a policy that makes our country pros- perous, so that our people can purchase our domestic products and have a bal- ance with which to enjoy the diversity of the necessaries and the luxuries that are produced in foreign countries. Under this policy we have done weil for our own people, have not only taken large supplies from other countries, but have been able to furnish them with the capital and credit they so much need out of the surplus of our own prosperity. Holds Nation Seeks Peace, While our country does not indulge itself in any desire to take charge of civilization, it has become the fore- most nation of the world in the as- sistance and the service which it ren- ders to other people. There is nowhere &@ more devoted advocate of peace, no other great powe’ from whom small nations feel such an absolute security from aggression. We are solicitous for the rights of our Government and our nationals, but we do not support them by indulging in a truculent attitude. We are just as solicitous to. guard the rights of others from our own intru- sion, as we are to guard our own We are not engaging in punitive activities. We have restored the damages paid us by China, pursued a like policy with Persia, have already returned hundreds of millions of dollars of German and Austrian property, and shall .undoubt- edly return the balance of a consider- able sacrifice to our own Treasury. We have settled our differences with other nations by means of claims com- missions and resort to arbitration. In 115 years we have been only three times engaged in foreign conflict. Two of these did not rise to great importance and caused but small loss of life. Our ways are the ways of peace. We have earnestly sought and are continuing to seek to extend a policy of limitation of armaments, which we established by our Own enormous sacrifices. We shall explore all suggestions made for fur- ther covenants, and enter into them when we reasonably can, which would add security to the peace of the world. Party Supports Enterprise. Efforts will constantly be made to break down the system which has built up our general welfare. Some of us will be seifish enough to attempt to sacrifice the interests of the rest of us. Our party has adopted a policy of sup- porting all legitimate enterprise. While we believe the welfare of the people in general should have our first considera- tion, we glso have the supplementary desire of promoting the welfare of finance. We wish our banking institu- tions to be strong and profitable, in order that they may serve the needs of the Nation. We believe they should assist other people in supplying their credit requirements. We do not, how- over, chink ahis should be Gane by aa, ~ - TM a Q&oldsmith ¢, Ko.¢ treet, N.W. BET WEEN-TWELFTH-AND ‘THIRTEENTH T0 GET a UPPORT, GUPELAND DECLARED Senator Tells Farmers That It Is as Sound as Protective Tariff System. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE FAILS TO STIR CONCLAVE Rural Bureau Head Says That Group Is Firmly Against the Government in Business. Chicago, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—The McNary- Haugen farm relief bill may be economi- cally unsound, but it is no more so than the protective tariff system or other price-fixing methods used in America, in the opinion of Senator Royal 8S. Copeland, of New York. “I feel that the farmers must be given an equal chance in the economic world and I am going to support this measure,” he told members of the American Farm Bureau at their ninth annual meeting here today. “In my judgment, it will give the farmer his fair share in the national prosperity. When the country thrives he will thrive. He will be on the same plane as every other producing citizen.” Reiterates Relief Stand. President Coolidge’s message to Con- gress, in which he reiterated his opposi- tion to the McNary-Haugen plan, with its equalization fee, drew little com- ment from the leaders of the farm bu- reau. All indications at the meeting have pointed to united fight by the or- ganization for the bill. Sam Thompson, president, asked to comment on Mr. Coolidge’s address, re- ferred to his opening speech Monday in which he said, “we want no price fixing, we want no Government subsidy; either direct or indirect. We want to avoid putting the Government into business, . “We insist on a basic agricultural law which will require each marketed unit of a product to pay its share in the cost of its own stabilization and pro- tection.” President Coolidge favors a Federal farm loan board with a revolving fund to build up cooperative marketing and aid in the disposition of crop surpluses To Broadcast Pershing’s Address, Resolutions, outlining the American Farm Bureau’s stand on the relief mat- ter, as well as flood prevention, Muscle Shoals, the Boulder Dam praject, and other matters of interest to the farm, will be adopted tomorrow. Gen. John J Pershing arrives in the morning to make an address, which will be broad- cast through a network of Middle West stations, with a few in the East in- cluded. Officers will be chosen tomorrow. also, the last of the three-day session Reelection of President Thompson was regarded as certain, no aames of cane didates even having been mentioned for the place. Senator Copeland in his address traced the history of protective tariffs the difficulties arising therefrom and the benefits he told of the advantages workmen derived from laber unions and prophesied farmers would profit from like organization. Wants Farm Temple Here. Wyoming’s former woman governor, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, in an earlier address, urged the women of rural America to take a deeper, more active interest and participation in the ad- ministration of their Government. It would benefit agriculture. she said. L. J. Tabor, Columbus, Ohio, master of the national grange, suggested con- struction of a monument to agriculture in Washington “that will match the United States Chamber of Commerce home here.” He took issue with Representative Lister Hill, of Alabama, who, a few moments before, had proposed a similar srtucture to be built by Henry Ford. “I would have our building built with the dimes and dollars of 6,000,000 American farmers,” he said. GIRL SCOUTS SWELL FUND TOTAL 10 $7,526 Organization Has Three More Days to Raise $55,000 for Camp. With three days remaining of the Washington Girl Scouts’ campaign for $55,000 for a permanent camp site and budget to 1930, it was reported at the luncheon meeting of the campaign workers in the Willard Hotel yesterday that additional subscriptions of $2,000 had swelled the total to $7,526 thus far. Of the additional subscriptions, $930 was raised through the efforts of the preliminary gifts committee, of which Mrs. Henry H, Flather is chairman. An |. American flag was awarded to Mrs. Sid- ney F. Taliaferro, wife of the District Commissioner, who is chairman of di- vision G, which turned in the greatest amount of money, $296, and the at- est number of subscriptions, 34, at the luncheon, At a field day meeting on Saturday in the United States Chamber of Com- merce auditorium, at 3 o’clock, Brig. Gen. Amos R. Fries, Miss Dorothy Greene, editor of women’s sports for The Washington Post, and Miss Marga- ret Tuckey will be awarded Girl Scout thanks badges for services given the or- ganization. At the same time merit badges will be given Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the Secretary of Com- merce; Mrs. Flather and Mrs. Charles Lindsay, jr., officials of the Girl Scout organization. rificing any other desirable domestic interest. We could not look with favor on putting in jeopardy our industry, pr our agriculture, to serve the needs of foreign debtors. Here again we must maintain an even balance, while look- ing first to the welfare of our own people. These are some of the principles of great importance to this Nation, which destiny has especially intrusted to the guardianship of the party which ‘we represent. It is one of the greatest responsibilities that ever devolved upon a political organization. We should keep our faith jn ourselves and earnestly seek for power to discharge it faithfully. This is naturally the time to be planning for the future. The party will soon place in nomination its can- didate to succeed me, To give time for mature deliberation I stated to the country on August 2 that I did not choose to run for President in 1928. My statement stands. No one should be led to suppose that I have modified it. My decision will be respected. After I had been eliminated the party began, and should vigorously continue, the serious task of selecting another candidate from among the number of distinguished men available. J EWELRY 14-Kt.

$16Z OU,A5S5.A5 This was on the Mississippi river alone, in the past forty-four years. Tens of millions of dollars additional have been spent on the tributaries, and on the main stream itself prior to 1882. This Is the Third of a-Series of Adver- tisements Published in the Interest of the People of the Mississippi Valley by The Times-Picayune (lin New Orleans J//// From 1882, when the Mississippi River commission was organized as an agency of the overnment to assist in the control of floods alon3 the Mississippi river, to the close of 1926, the stupendous sum of $238,- 101,449.03 was spent in the construction of levees, and in fighting the recurring, floods. This expenditure was almost entirely alon3, the Mississippi river, and takes little account of the sums used on the important tributaries, all of them interstate streams. The states of the lower valley contribut- ed $167,011,455.45 to this expenditure, or 70 per cent of the entire amount. When the cost of protecting, the tribu- taries, defrayed entirely by the individual states, is taken into account, and when the large sums spent before 1882 are consider- ed—Louisiana alone had been building, levees for 150 years prior to the advent of Rovernment aid—it will be seen that the cost of flood control to the lower valley has already been nearly as Sreat as the amount spent by the national 30vernment in build- in?, the Panama canal. Construction of the Panama canal was justly considered a reat national achieve- ‘ment, possible only for one of the world’s wealthiest countries. Yeta handful of states in the Mississippi valley have borne the major part of an expenditure almost as ereat in trying to protect themselves from floods which they do not originate, but which have repeatedly devastated their lowlands. All of the rainfall in Arkansas, Missis- sippi and Louisiana could have been con; trolled and carried safely to the Gulf for a small part of the money these states have spent, had it not been for the floods from the Rockies, the Alleghenies and the Great Lakes region which sweep down periodically, swelling, the current, burst- ing, the levees, and carrying destruction in their path The experience of Louisiana is typical of the flood burden thrust on the states of the valley below Cairo. In the past sixty years, for which detailed records are available, more than $91,000,000 has been spent on the Mississippi and its tributaires to protect this state alone, and of this amount Louisiana contributed $63,000,- 000. In the four years succeeding the 1922 flood alone, the state has spent at the rate of $2,500,000 a year for flood. pro- tection, in addition to the contributions of the Federal government. The states of the lower valley have already spent more than enough money to protect themselves from any possible flood that might originate within their borders. Every dollar now being spent, and to be spent in future, is to carry safely to the sea the floods of other states—what- ever amounts the lower valley states con- tribute in future must come from the pock- ets of taxpayers who only this year suf- fered a staggering, loss.of hundreds of millions of dollars through the failure of the levee lines. The lower valley states have done their part, and more, in defraying the cost of flood protection. They must have relief from Congress in this intolerable situation. ore eee ee. ee 4 ts duh ahd st ai yap sy

The questions are repeated in the explanations of my answers. 4 v Yyoee Wr de 4 THE ANSWERS. 1. With the above hand, South (Dealer), should pass. He has not the two quick tricks which an initial suit-bid of one would announce. 2. With the above hand, (Dealer), with a score of 24, South should pass The fact that a player has a score does not justify his bidding tini- tially with less than the strength re- D quired for a minimum bid without a score. The score may affect the de- termination of a player in choosing between two legitimate bids; but is not a factor in choosing between a bid and a pass. 3. With the above hand, after a bid of one Heart by South, West should bid one Spade. While it requires two quick tricks to justify an initial bid less strength justifies a bid made after @ suit-bid by an opponent, 4. With the above hand, after a bid of one No Trump by South, West should pass. It is not advisable to bid over an adverse No Trump, unless the hand contains game-going possibili- ties. 5. With the above hand, after a bid of one Heart by South and a pass by West, North should pass. To bid a Spade over partner’s Heart would de- ceive the partner; it would deny Hearts and the hand has more than normal support for Hearts. 6. With the above hand, after a bid of one No Trump by South and a pass by West, North should bid two Spades. Partner’s No Trump should be taken out with a strong five-card Major. A ¥ 4 ~ & THE QUESTIONS, With the above hand, what would you declare: (score love-all unless otherwise stated): 7. If you held it as South (Dealer)? 8. If you held it as South (Dealer), with a score of 12? If you held it as West at a love score, South (Dealer) having bid one No Trump? — If you held it as West with a score of 12, South (Dealer) having bid one No Trump? If you held it as North, South (Dealer) having bid one Diamond and West having passed? If you held it as North, South (Dealer) having passed and West having bid one Heart? Answers tomorrow.

What is the best way to help to apply the rouge so as to make my face appear fuller? Ss. Answer—Apply the rouge to the cheeks near the nose, blending it in 4 rounding fashion. That is, do not bring the rouge far up on the cheek-bone or down to the lower part of the face Bring the rouge across the face rather than up and down it. And never put rouge on the chin, as the round-faced person is permitted to do. Dear Viola Paris—I am 16 years old, & feet 3 inches tall and weigh 126 pounds. Am I overweight? How can Il reduce my bust without reducing the rest of my body? How can I reduce the lower part of my neck, which is rather wide? ANXIOUS. Answer—Yes, you are a little over- weight, but not enough to worry about your age. Arm-swinging exercises are very good for making the bust firm. Do the following movements both morn- ~ ing and night. _ eb A READER,” who writes asking ] *. 1. Raise the right arm high above your head and swing it in a complete circle before you. Repeat with the left arm. Next, raise both arms, start the right arm to the right and the left arm to the left so that both arms are going to opposite directions simultaneously 2. Raise the arms before you at shoulder level with the palms inward. Throw them vigorously as far to the back as possible. They must be kept at shoulder level. By VIOLA PARIS Sa Try the following exercises for reduce ing your back: 1. Supporting yourself by resting one hand on something stationary, . swing the opposite leg like a pendulum, for- ward and backward as high as possible. Turn and repeat with the opposite leg 2. Lying flat on the floor with the feet together, bring the feet up and try to touch them to the floor behind the head. Repeat with a rocking move- ment. Hopeless—The advice given above for improving the bust also applies to your case. \In addition, you might let a cold spray run over the breasts each day during your morning bath. Let me urge you not to massage the bust, for that would do this delicate part more harm than good. A. L. R.—Are you sure that you are getting the right diet and that your circulation is good? ‘These are often causes of a red face. Or perhaps you are not cleansing your face properly. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, avoid rich, greasy, heavy foods, and exercise regularly. Be sure that you cleanse your face thoroughly, as I have suggested before as a treatment for blackheads. Use warm water—not hot —and rinse with plenty of cold water. A good astringent may help. This may be made by adding a few drops of tinc- ture of benzoin to witch-hazel—just enough to make a milky-looking solu- tion. Apply this preparation each time after the face has been cleansed.

The child who is apparenty dull may in reality be deaf. That the physical handicaps in early childhood are often overlooked came forcibly to my attention when I came across a 10-year-old child who had been blind in one eye from birth. This unfortunate had been four years in the public school and no one had discovered the defect not to men- tion the ten years of neglect on the part of the father, mother and all the aunts My recent article on the “Hard of Hearing Child” brought an unusual number of inquiries. I emphasized the importance—to those who felt the af- fliction approaching—of acquiring lip reading ability “Lip reading has literally saved my soul,” writes one. Another: “Through the medium of lip reading and all that came with it, my mishap has be- come the gateway to freedom.” And she adds: “I know of one little girl whose marks were not so good as her companions who decided that she had softening of the brain, but she must not tell her mother because it would break her heart. Later it was discov- ered that the child had defective hear- ing.” “Let me fell the school super- intendents,” writes another, “that the phone-audiomefer will test the hearing of 650 childrery in one half of a school day.” “Bless the good work. Through your personal letter my deafened boy has found a career open to him.” So Here Goes. Many letters came to me from par- ents and children living in far away small towns. I advise those who can not have the personal services of a trained teacher of lip reading to pur- chase a book and learn that art with the help of members of family or friends. With perseverance and loving cooperation this can be accomplished, though progress is not as fast as it would be ufider a trained teacher. Books recommended by the Amerti- can Federation of Organizations for the Hard of Hearing, 1601 Thirty-fifth strget northwest, Washington D. C., are: “Elementary Lessons in Lip Read- ing,” Martha E. Bruhn. “Muller-Walle Method in Lip Read- ing,” Martha E. Bruhn. “Lip Reading for Class Instruction,” Louise Morgenstern. “Lip, Reading; Principles and Prac- tice,” Edward B. Nitchie. “Principles and Methods of Teach- ing Lip Reading,” E. B. Nitchie. “Advanced Courses in Lip Reading,” Mrs. E. B. Nitchie. Did you know that the hard of hear- ing folks have clubs and @ magazine all their own—the Volta? That my article made a national appeal is evinced in that I heard from: The Speech Readers Guild of Boston; the Twelfth Night Club, the Sanzoray Club and the New York League for Hard of Hearing, all in New York City; Speech Reading Club of Philadelphia; Buffalo, N.

Names and situations in this story are fictitious. ; THE STORY SO FAR, Molly and Bob Brownell! are newlyweds, but Bob is in the hospital, seriously ill. Bob’s employer, Mr. Frazier, has told her that her own selfishness is responsible for Bob’s illness; that she took everything for herself, an would not even learn to cook, When she sees Bob at the hospital he asks her to go away: that he is not strong enough to entertain her. At the same hospital is Mary Holmquist, Bred blonde. stenographer, nicknamed ‘“‘little 1 wedie,’"’ who has married secretly, whose usband has beaten, robbed and deserted her, and who has collapsed. NOW.GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER LIII. NLY a little after dawn next morning Molly was at the hos- pital. The night attendant yawned sleepily as she came to the window. “I’d like to see Miss Holmquist,” she said. Her reddened lids and the grey-blue pouches beneath her eyes were signs of a sleepless night, but her voice was steady, and she was wearning her wed- ding dress. The attendant looked over his list. “All right, She can be seen any time— if she’s awake,” he said. “Know the way?” She nodded and ran to the stairs. The night lights still were burning in the corridor and in one of the vacant rooms Molly could see a nurse beside an open window. 5 ee As she reached Bob’s room Molly stopped and listened. There was no sound beyond the door. She touched it, tenderly, with her fingertips, before she moved on to little Swedie’s room. The door to this was open, and there was no nurse inside. Molly tiptoed to the bed. The blonde, her hair tumbled, lay asleep, one hand under her cheek. Her face was calm, and she breathed with the light regiu- larity of a child. The visitor softly moved a chair and sat down to wait. A white-coated orderly came by, pres- ently, looked in, nodded, and went on his way. Somewhat later two nurses, evidently just coming on duty, hurried by. The day shift in the hospital was starting work, and there were sounds in the dis- tance of clicking crockery. At the end of an hour, a nurse came in with a basin of water, a towel and a washcloth. “Visitors so early?” she said, smiling. The sound aroused the sleeping girl, and she stretched her arms. “Why, hello!” she said, as she turned her eyes toward Molly. “Hello, dear,” Molly said. waiting for you to wake up.” “T’ll wash her face and hands,” the nurse said, “and then I'll bring in her breakfast,” She looked into little Swedie’s chestnut-colored, sleepy eyes. “Better, aren’t you?” Turning to Molly, she added: “There was a night nurse here until last night, but Miss Holm- quist is so much better the doctor said she might as well sleep without any- body to watch.” By this time the invalid was strug- gling to sit up. “Have you heard any news?” she asked Molly, eagerly. News! Bob Brownell sick in the next room and Molly excluded! News! It was a2 moment or two before she realized that it was not Bob whom Mary wanted to hear about. “Not @ word, dear,” she answered then. “I was hoping maybe he’d sent some word,” said little Swedie, a wistful tremor in her tone. “You being here sO early, and all!” The nurse interrupted the conversa- tion with the washcloth and towel. “She’s a dear patient,” she told Molly. “So quiet and good—you’d hardly know she was here.” Mary Holmquist smiled a little at this. “That’s bécause everybody else is so good,” she said. . The nurse patted her on the cheek. “Now I'll bring you something nice to evel she said. “And mind you eat it The nurse propped a mirror on the bed before she went out, and the blonde girl combed her hair before it as she talked. “That’s all they think of, 1 do believe,” she said to Molly. “Every time they’ come in here they bring = good to eat. I'll be fat as a p g oe Her eyes were bright as she laid down the comb. They say that 1 probably haven’t eaten properly for years—that most girls just eat the awfullest things. But I think we eat as well as the men do. Don’t you?” Molly winced. “I. feel so much better since I’ve thought out what happened,” chattered little Swedie. “I know why my hus- band didn’t go back to Somerville!” “Why?” Molly asked, mechanically. She was not greatly interested in Swedie’s husband—her own man was lying in the next room, and her ear was tuned to catch any sound from him. “That marriage wasn’t legal,” Mary Holmquist said. “And he’s probably decided to go into another State and get an annulment there, quietly. Then he’ll come back.” She reached out and took Molly’s hand. “I’m so glad, dear, you don’t have to worry over your husband!” A spasm of pain crossed Molly’s face. “What’s wrong?” asked the blonde, quickly. Molly pressed her free hand against her heart. “Can you talk? Is it all right for you to talk?” she asked “Yes—they told me yesterday I could talk all I liked. You know, I simply flopped Friday night, and all day Sat- urday they say I didn’t know a thing! Wasn't that. dreadful? But Sunday whne you came I could talk, and I thought I wanted to die. And Sunday afternoon, all of a sudden, it came to me! My husband hadn’t run away at all! Wasn’t it hideous of me to think he had? So when I realized it was all right, I began to feel better and I ate —why, Molly, I ate pounds of gruel and things! The doctor came in and laughed at me—said I was the quickest getter-well he ever saw in his life.” She laughed. “Being happy is dandy medicine, isn’t it?” While Mary talked, Molly had an *“T’ve been opportunity to think what she should say. “Would yor do something for me?” she asked. “Just try me!” “Mary—my husband is sick.” Compassion showed in the blonde’s wide eyes. “I'm so sorry!” “He’s in the next room,” Molly went on. “In here?” Molly nodded. “Yes—and I’m not allowed to see him. Little Swedie worked over in the bed until she could reach Molly’s shoulder, and she placed an arm aroundh neck. “You poor baby,” she crooned. “Tell me what I can do?” “Could you ask your nurse to go in there and inquire about him, and then come back and tell me?” “Of course, I will!” The nurse was coming in with a tray of food. “Listen, sweetie,” said the blonde. “This lady here——” she mo- tioned at Molly—“is Mr. Brownell’s wife.” The nurse glanced at Molly quickly, and the smile left her lips. “He’s so sick they won’t let her in,” Mary Holmquist vent . “Would you find out how h is and tell us?” The nurse arran_2d little Swedie'’s breakfast on a bed table, saw that there was sugar, salt and cream, and silently went out the door. Molly waited breathless for her return. She came back presently, followed by another girl in white—the same nurse who had led Molly from the room the day before. “Mr. Brownell,” said Bob’s nurse, “still has a fever. He has been forbid- den any food for today—his digestion has been injured by bad food and a long nervous strain.” “Why that’s what they sald about me!” Mary Holmquist excleimed. “The cases are much alike,” said the second nurse, turning away. “Except Mr. Brownell also has an infection— that’s why he has a fever.” She disappeared. Molly, running after her, reached the corridor only in time to see the door of Bob’s rocn close. “Mary,” she said, her hand once more pressed upon her bosom, “would you care if I sat here a while? I want to be near him, if I can!” he's so sick 4 fade at “{ ; hs aa TE oe Pod oa Vy] ae saat ts tad 5 formerly $79.50 to $110 $30,000 worth of luxurious teresting of the season.

The other girl did not answer. It was a terrible thing to try to explain! The patient was sipping a cup of hot milk. “Listen,” she said, dropping her voice, “I’ve got an idea! When the patients go to sleep, or want to be quiet, the special nurses usually go out into the hall and walk up and down. You sit close to the wall there, where they can’t see you, and when your husband’s nurse comes out I'll wave to you, and you can slip into his room for just a second, to see him. How’s that?” Molly hastily lifted her chair to the angle close beside the door, and drew in her skirt so a chance fold of it might nct be visible through the door- way. Then she waited, straining for- ward, her anxious eyes on Mary Holm- quist’s face. The blonde was watching the cor- ridor, as she ate. It was an agonizing long time before little Swedie raised her arm, and whispered, “Now!” (Continued tomorrow.) y EDGAK A. GUEST MIDDLE-AGE.

Many and oft the time those childish lines uave run through full- grown heads, and many the tribute their sound philosophy has evoked So much for the criticisms.

And you have conjured up such a mountain from this mole hill, that you actually ask in all seriousness if you are suf- fering from some mental twist?

Of course I have heard such lectures, and revel ir them—and in the light they shed be ep sO many of our little idiosyncra- cies. Truly we are what thinking makes us. And few of us do any thinking whtsoever. We eat; we sleep: we whim- per; we complain. But none of us think. We behold sky and sea, and storm; summer heat and sudden snow; starving babies and overfed friends, and regarded these mysteries with impartial unconcern. If we ever really thought ‘| about these things, we would find our- selves in a state of unsupportable dis- comfort. So have no fear that psychology might cause too much thinking.

The flies are aban- doning the out of doors. Even the common housefly prefers life in the open during the warm season. But when the nights become cold warm shelter becomes necessary for the pres- ervation of life. And of all the urges —the sex urge, the socialibility urge, the urge of color and smell—none other approximates the urge to preserve life. With the fly the will to live is even stronger than the will to crawl on a bald: head. Therefore, all the flies there be are now under cover somewhere and many of the survivors are within living rooms. Since they are now living in such close quarters with man the chance that they will spread infection is greater than ever. house at this season are more danger- ous than a thousand mine run flies in August. | But the danger and the annoyance are not the only reason for swatting flies at this season. The prospect of a fly crop for next year is dependent on the flies that get under cover now. Every fly killed now prevents several thousand flies next summer. The best method for killing for this season of the year is the swatter. Fly paper and fly strips are fairly effective. This is also the season to go after mosquitoes. They, too, must get under cover or die. Some that have been content to stay in the open and live on vegetable and fruit juices have now moved into warm places that are pro- tected against wind and storm. Mos- quitoes can be found in homes that have been free all summer. There is a very gooa chance that the anopheles varieties are infective. It is during the autuma months that the maximum number of human beings are malariai and, therefore, infective for mosquitoes. It is during that season that malaria is most virulent. The prevalence of infection among mosqui< toes has likewise been cumulative through the summer and autumn, In addition to the danger there is the further incentive to kill mosqui- toes now that by so doing we stop the 1928 supply at the source.. sprays.

Twenty-five new high price levels and four new lows were estab- lished during the session. The total turnover of approximately 2,425,000 shares was slightly under yesterday’s | business. Rubber stocks were among the strong features of the day, led by Goodrich, which was whirled into new high terri- tory at 95 and held all its gains, closing with a net advance of 7% ferred gained 1 and 1% points, respec- tively. Sulphur shares came into promi- nence late in the afternoon, Freeport- Texas establishing a new high for all time at 101%, up 34% net. Texas Gulf Sulphur was boosted through active buying for a net gain of 51;,, but is still almost 5 points below its high for the year. Merchandising shares, again under leadership of Montgomery Ward, con- tinued to attract much attention. Early profit taking caused many of them to dip, but most of these losses were re- covered in the late trading and some substantial gains scored. Montgomery Ward established a new high at 116%, then tapered to close at 11434, a net gain of % of a point. Motor shares gave ground in the early trading, but recovered smartly before. the close. Mack Truck acted contrary to the other members of the group, being buoyant in the early trad- ing in response to reports, later proven well founded, that the directors would announce a plan for redemption of the outstanding preferred stock. The stock advanced snappily to 11154, but sub- sequently fell under the best levels. General Motors moved actively over a 2-point range, finally closing with a net gain of a point. Coppers moved over a wide range, keeping for the most part below yesterday’s final quotations. American Smelting and Greene made sharp recoveries just before the close, but the movement came too late to place them in the plus column. Like- wise United States Steel started on an upward course, too far along in the session to recover fully the early losses. Youngstown and Ludlum, however, made good headway on the’ up-side, the for- mer gaining 2 and the latter 2% National Biscuit reacted sharply, closing with a net loss of 3%. Interna- tional Harvester suffered a depreciation of 2 points. Midland Steel Products preferred gained 2 points, and Union Bag & Paper 514. Other high spots on the up side included Timken, Stand- ard Milling, Savage Arms, Radio, Porto Rico Tobacco A and B, Philadelphia Co., Mullins Body at a new peak price, War- ren Bros., Wright Aero at a new high, Congress Cigar, Chicago Pneumatic Tool and American Bank Note. In this group net gains ranged from 1 to 113% points, the maximum advance being in Mul- lins Body. Railroad stocks moved in a compara- tively narrow range. Atchison at one time got up to 19714, then tapered to close at 19414, a net loss of 1%, points. The late weakness in this stock was re- garded as odd in view of the early an- nouncement that Atchison would offer stockholders valuable subscription rights. At current levels the “rights” which will accrue to holders of record on January 27 next are estimated to be worth about $4. It is quite probable that the develop- ments in Mack Truck and Atchison had been pretty well discounted. Retire- ment of Mack preferred is a logical de- velopmen of the management’s policy looking toward the drawing tighter of credit extension. Sterling was quiet but firm, and most other foreign exchanges behaved simi- larly, although Dutch guilders made a new high at a 2-point advance before yielding the gain in the late session, and pesetas recovered 9° points of the previoys session’s recession. NEW YORK COTTON. New York, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—The cotton market was steadier today as if influ- enced by reports of an improved de- mand for cotton goods and covering by recent sellers. January advanced from 19.07 to 19.33, closing at 19.27, the gen- eral market closing steady, at net ad- vances of 8 to 17 points. The market opened barely steady at unchanged prices to a decline of 8 |p Seah in response to relatively easy iverpool cables and overnight selling orders. There was selling for both Southern and local account apparently, but houses with foreign trade connec- tions had buying orders for execution at the decline, and initial offerings were soon absorbed. A steadier tone developed later on re- ports of a better demand for cotton goods in the local market and a renewal of covering for over Thursday's Govern- ment report. With comparatively few contracts for sale apparently, the early afternoon market showed considerable firmness, December selling up to 19.31 and May to 19.68, or 11 to 20 points nes higher. Further trade buying was rted on this advance, being less in fe. dence than earlier in the day, and demand was attributed largely to cover- ing. The close was within 2 or 3 points of the best on most positions. Another private crop report placed the yield at 13,146,000 bales which ap- peared to be without particular effect on the market. A canvass of New York Cotton Exchange members on the aver- age, showed expectation of a Govern- ment estimate of around 12,830,000 _bales. The highest individual estimate tb, 3,500,000, and the lowest 12,400,000 ales. Private cables received here said the Liverpool market had been influenced by heavy long opp et eg poo in apprehen- sion of bearish crop figures on Thurs- day and by the decline in the market for Egyptian cotton at Alexandria. Exports today, 10,794 bales, eg 3,313,734 so far this season. Por United States aoet PHILADELPHIA MARKETS. Feat ee vet Dec. licky, 1.

Steel 6s, 1948 ... 4 chet itots theres In no year since 1905 has the Company ever shown a loss. The large increase in earnings from 1925 to 1927 is due solely to the manufacturing economies resultmg from plent. improvements made in the last quarter of 1925 and the year 1926, as detailed in the President’s letter. It is the management’s belief that the Company will continue on at least its present earning basis. The history of the business has shown that earnings have not only been maintained, but generally increased in periods of depression, owing to the generally larger demand for canned goods and, consquently, the tin containers of such goods. Plant and Equipment: Company’s plant, covering 28 acres, appraised at $12,000,000 in 1926 and with over $2,000,000 since added, is carried on the books at $9,606,975.69. Management: The management and control of the Company remain in the hands of Mr. E. R. Crawford and assootates. Pin Boao be 6s, 1940... adiator at 8s, “an aT. & T. 4s, iT. & T die. "106i Pub.

WASHINGTON : WEDNESDAY, , DECEMBER : 7, 1927. Followin ww rough SHIRLEY L. POVICH HREE years of endeavor, constant, sober yet scintillating effort has won for Ray Foley, Catholic Uni- versity student, acclaim as the out- atanding college athlete in the District of Columbia, Washingtonians have feasted their eyes upon Ray Foley in action on the gridiron, on the baseball field and the basketball court and whatever the young man’s mission in life may be, he is an argument in the flesh to prove that many an athlete has blos- somed to bloom unseen by All-Ameri- can experts. Foley has not been named on any All-American team, first, second or third, and he has not been selected for honorable mention, but the fact does not detract from his prowess and when he is presented his academic diploma in the spring he will also have earned an athletic degree cum laude. Known to Washington fans best as a football player, Foley, by a queer choice, confesses he does not . like to play football—at least, he does not like to play football as well as he likes to play basket- ball or baseball. Should he de- vefop a whole-hearted interest in football, his supporters blush at the thought of the heights he might attain. Against his will, Foley played his first game of football at Nantucket (R. I.) High School five years ago, where his father is athletic director. Peter Foley was faced with the prospect of developing a football team from ten candidates and as a last resort pressed young Foley into service. The quarter back position was vacant and young Foley was installed in that place. He has played quarter back ever since, starring two years in high school and four years at Catholic University, earning the captaincy of the team in the 1927 season. At Catholic University Foley’s star has shone in all its brilliance. The way he kicked, tr way he ran ihe ball and the way he threw forward passes to Harvey and Long was a revelation of his superability as a foctball player. On the field he synchronizes the collective capabilities that a good football player should have, and the football intelli- gence that he displayed brands him a wizard of the gridiron. It is in carrying the ball that Foley is most impressive to those who w tch from the sidelines, be- cause the sheer wizardry of his quarter-back tactics, the finesse of his punting and passing is lost as the crowd follows the ball... But Foley’s ability as the _ personally tucks the ball under his arm for a tour down the field is unmistak- able. He runs with the lope of a wolf, jog- ging, as it were, and apparently moving slowly, but the ground that passes be- neath his flying feet is much. As he threads his way in and out and across @ broken field, there is the impression that his legs and body are gifted with an uncanny sense that enables him to elude capture Against George Washington last Thanksgiving Day, in the victory most desired by Catholic University, Foley’s performance was dramatic. He went into the game suffering from a badly CONTINUED ON PAGE 18, COLUMN 5. \ Of finest quality bro- cade in original pat- terns, and beautifully blended colors, these robes are elegantly tai- lored, full cut, and silk lined.

Releasing of Onslow Poor Move, Belief of Writer. By FRANK H. YOUNG. Cine MILAN, who managed the Nationals in 1922 and who filled an outfield berth for many sea- sons previous to his elevation, will re- turn to Washington next season, his appointment as coach having been an- nounced by President Clark Griffith yesterday. He replaces Jack Onslow, although his line-of endeavor will be different. Onslow instructed the young pitchers with considerable success, while Milan has been engaged to teach the tricks of the trade to the rookie outfielders and also will endeavor to make base run- ners out of practically all members of the Harrisian cast. Just who is responsible for this change seems to be a mystery. Presi- dent Griffith has intimated that Man- ager Bucky Harris suggested the sign- ing of Milan and the cutting loose of Onslow, while conversation with the Nat pilot leads one to believe that the idea is Griffith’s. But, whoever’s scheme it was, in the writer’s opinion, it is not a good one. There is no question but what Onslow worked hard and with success on the Nat pitching squad last spring. ® CLYDE MILAN. Both Irving Hadley and Horace Lisen- bee, two of the best looking rookie flingers in the majors last season, owe much of their. success to what Onslow taught them, while all: of the others Were gotten into tip-top shape under Onslow’s system. He also taught-all of. the mound candidates how to correct weak- nesses and, otherwise gave the im- pression that he was the first real pitching. . coach, which’ the Nats have had in years.

NDAUNTED by its defeat at the hands of the Washington Swim- ming Club Saturday night, the Central High School is looking forward to a victory over the Friends School of Baltimore in their meet at 3 o’clock on Friday in the Friends School pool. The final tryouts will be held today to decide who will represent the Mount Pleasant team in the meet. Trials will be held in the following events: 220- yard relay, 50-yard, 100-yard and 220- yard swims, 100-yard breastroke, 100- yard backstroke and 300-yard medley relay. Among the .more prominent candi- dates who have been showing up well in the recent practices are Capt. James Bates, Richard Stethan, William King, Samuel Mears, Roy Bodine, Robert Darela, Edward Hickey, Frank Baither, Maxwell Rote and John Ford. Dundee Banned by N. Y. Fight Body New York, Dec. 6.—Johnny Dundee, former world’s featherweight champion, was suspended indefinitely in New York State today for failure to square accounts with the Coney Island Sta- dium, to hom he is said to be indebt- ed to the extent of $500 for running out of a bout last summer. Others who were laced on the in- definite suspension list for major and minor infractions of the rules were King Solomon, for failing to fight Ro- berto Roberti at the Broadway Arena last night; Joe Marcienti, Vincent Bileo; Danney Terris, Harry Kelly, and Artie Blue.

ALLAS, Tex., Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Criti- cism was leveled at indiscrimi- nate and far-reaching signing of young players by major league clubs in the anual report today-of President Mike H. Sexton at the meeting of: the National Association of Professional Baseball Clubs. Mr. Sexton declared present: methods and activities of major league scouts have now exceeded anything ever thought of ‘or foreseen by . baseball people, and warned that unless protec- tive measures were adopted the source of supply of young players for minor clubs will be destroyed, “It has now reached the point of a mad scramble to see what scout can first reach the promising youngster in the small college, in high school or on the sandlot,” he asserted, referring to the activities of major league scouts. “So extensive has this practice be- come that it is almost impossible for minors to recruit talent from that source.” Mr. Sexton’s report occupied nearly all of the first day’s sesion of the asso- ciation. Besides expressing apprehen- sion Over numerous complaints by both parties to the major-minor league agreement concerning players, Mr. Sex- ton recommended definite population limits for various minor league ‘clubs, and called to the association’s atten- tion the rapidly increasing number of minor league: franchises “that; are going under the control of major clubs or higher class minor league clubs.” Of the latter condition, Mr. Sex- ton had no recommendation to make, asserting he was not fully convinced what the ultimate effect will be. As the first seven-year period of operation of the prevail- ing agreement between the majors and minors reaches a close, the pres- ident said he had heard expressions of discontent not confined to a few. “Before it leads to an open rupture, I most earnestly urge both parties to con- fer in an effort to eliminate some ob- jectionable features,” he declared. Minor leagues were urged by Mr. Sex- ton to fix new population limits to be- come effective before the opening of the 1930 season, when the next Federal census will be available. He voiced the belief that one effective way of keep- ing down costs of operation would be by raising the population requirements in all classifications, the population to be confined to the corporate limits of a city, as determined by the Federal cen- Sus, The President recommended the fol- lowing minimum league population aggregates: class AA—2,000,000 or more; class A—1,000,000 to 2,000,000; class B—400,000; class C—200,000;- class D— 80,000; class E—less than 80,000. Creation of a new classification, namely class E, to comprise all lesser leagues, was recommended by Mr. Sexton. Several of the present class D leagues would have to drop to this lower level. He said'he be- lieved all leagues below B should be positively prohibited from use of option players, In discussing the activities of major league scouts in acquiring young play- ers, Mr. Sexton said the majority of such’ players’ were used for trading purposes, coming into the minor ranks at inflated salaries and “with the gross misconception that professional base- ball is the easy money route to pros- perity.” “Scanning the annual: reserve lists of the majors, you don’t find many of these. players listed,” he added. “They are in the lists of many ere pera or designing minor clubs, some of them purchased or drafted with major mignon money, or a private understanding, an some .covered up by private. contracts or. understandings.” “In my judgment. “our chubs shoud | be prohibi from from major tion ranks.

Washington U. Leads Country in Scoring; Has 1,556 Points. By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor.) ANSAS CITY, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Al- though the debate is still going on over the award of this season’s championship football honors, there is not any dispute about the college team that has posted the most consistent record of all over the past five years. Measured by this yardstick, Notre Dame leads the pigskin parade by a substantial margin for the span of 1923 through 1927. Knute Rockne’s Rovers step up to the head of the jive-year class this fall after tracting Lafayette last year. But Lafayette skidded down the scale this season, while the Hoosiers kept up a fast gait, losing only one game, to the Army, and tying. another, with Minnesota. Over the five-year road, where the Irish have journeyed from New York to Los Angeles and Atlanta to Minne; apolis, Notre Dame’s record shows 42. victories, only 5 defeats and 2 ties, for a winning percentage of .894. It will come as something of a shock. to the ancient’ gridiron strongholds to note that Notre Dame’s closest rival for the best five-year record is Southern Metho- dist’s Mustangs, one or the strong- est outfits of the Southwestern Conference. 8S. M. U. has turned in 34 victories and suffered only 5 setbacks along with 7 ties. Alabama, still foremost among the Southern teams in spite of a mediocre 1927 campaign, is a close third, while two. powerful far Western arrays, Uni- versity of Washingfon and Stanford, are well up toward the top. Michigan and Illinois show the best records of any of the Western Confer- ence “Big Ten” over this five-year stretch. The first Eastern outfits to break into the list are Washington and Jefferson and the Army. For those who care ‘to delve further into the figures, it may be noted that Washington boasts the highest-powered scoring team of any on the list, while Michigan’s traditional stonewall has by far the best defensive record. Washington’s huskies, rolling up the astonishing total of 1,556 points in 53 contests, averaged a fraction over 29 points per game. yornell, with an average of approximately 28 points per game in spite of a poor 1927 showing, and Southern California, averaging slightly under 27 points, were next in the heavy scoring brigade. Michigan’s defense has yielded an average of only about half a touch- down per game over five years—3.65 points for each of 40 opponents. <he V’olverines also have the dis- tinction of not figuring in . single tie game over this five-year period. South- ern California, Illinois and Georgia have been tied only once. Colgate, by way of contrast, has been tied seven times in the last three seasons.

Chi Tunney Gives Medals For Collegiate Boxers San Francisco, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Seven medals. have been hung up by Gene COCOMATOOOPOODOCOPAHW PPV OrH POH ONWOW=1N,5 Tunney, heavyweight champion of the. world, to the winners of boxing con- tests to be held in the spring of 1928 by students of Stanford University. In a letter to Harry Maloney, under whose auspices the contests are to be conducted Tunney says: “You and I know there is no sport in the world, properly indulged in, that can develop with the ease boxing does, manliness, self-reliance, courage, char- acter and sportsmanship. We also re- alize the terrible heritage professional boxing has fallen heir to, but we have the djscrimination to distingush be- tween fine, clean, healthful boxing as conducted in a university and the sor- didness which sometimes accompanies professional boxing.” Carroll Leads G. U. Eleven In 1928 Hilltop Guard, Choice of Lettermen, Is Steady Player. Lineman to Captain Eleven for 3d Year in: Succession. was elected captain of’ the -George- town University Footballg@feam for 1928 at a meeting of the letter-men last night. Carroll is a junior and next season will be his third at left guard on the varsity eleven. To those who are. familiar with football conditions at the Hilltop, the election of Carroll to the captaincy does not come as a distinct surprise Under the keen eye of Coach Lou Little, who was a great linesman him- self at Pennsylvania, Carroll has been developed into a brilliant guard. The new Hilltop leader stands out as a fine type of linesman of the modern football game, a fast, aggres- sive player, weighing 180 pouncs. whose running interference is an im- portant cog in the offensive machine of his team, and whose defensive play against short or screen passes is in- valuable in the present-day style of attack. in addition to these sterling qualities, which he has. developed almost to mechanical perfection, Carroll, becaus of his cheerful personality, is one of the most popular players at Georgetown. J iees'es CARROLL, of Cresco, Cowa, Carroll entered Georgetown in 1924 and ds a member of the Freshman | Team at once attracted the attention of the coaches with his line play. Dur- ing the spring practice in 1925 the youngster convinced the coaches of his ability and the following season found him a member of Georgetown’s famous forward line, alongside of Connaughton, Waite, McGrath and Grigsby. His consistently brilliant play dur- ing the season just closed made Carroll a big factor in the success of the Hill- toppers. Although Grigsby, George- town’s center, has been playing a sec- ondary position on the defense prac- tically throughout the season, the mid- sector of the front line of defense, guarded by Carroll and Samuel Cordo- vano, has been an impregnable barrier for opposing teams. Cards Send Orsatti Back Under Option St. Louis, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Ernest Orsatti, outfielder, who starred for the St. Louis Cardinals after he was ob- tained from the Houston Club, of the Texas League, last summer, today was released to Minneapolis, of the Ameri- can Association, under an optional agreement. Faculty Ruling Bars Tech-Tennessee Game Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Coach William A. Alexander, of Georgia Tech, has telegraphed Coach Robert Neyland, of the University of Tennessee, that a “faculty rule prohibits a post-season game.” This is in answer to Tennessee’s challenge for a “championship game” with Tech to decide the Southern Con- ference title. Coach Alexander’s message said: “Faculty rule prevents consideration of any post-season game. Tech, Tennessee, Vanderbilt. and North Carolina State have perfect conference records and 50/ share the championship.” : Touchstone to Battle Jim Herman Tonight ‘ New York, Dec. 6.—Benny Touch- stone, the carefully groomed Florida heavyweight, whose winning spurt was 42 checked several weeks back by Jack Dorval, will start all over again tomor- 30; row at the Pioneer with Tiny Jim Her- man, the Omaha mastodon, as his op- 27! ponent in a ten-round bout. Tiny Jim recently earned a draw with George Godfrey, met Johnny Risko and Young Stribling, and licked Joe Lohman.

The remarks about this Sinister state of affairs were delivered at the meeting of the Western Con- ference coaches in Chicago, but ap- parently they neglected to number the | speakers, so the men in the press hox were divided as to whether it was Dr. Kinley or Mr. Huff who tossed the monkey wrench into the bulivarks.

WNER GEORGE MARSHALL, of the Washington professional bas~ keters, took occasion last night to deny the report that he is consider- ing releasing Chick Passon, obtained in trade from the Philadelphia Warriors. The local court magnate admitted, however, that he was not satisfied with the condition of Passon and several other members of his team. “All must get down to hard work and get into tiptop shape if they want to continue to play here,” he stated, “for, despite their victory over the Celtics last Sunday night, I am not satisfied that the team is putting up its best game,” With the view toward giving the Pal- ace Tossérs the needed work, several hard practice sessions will be staged at the Arcadia this week. This afternoon at 2:30 a practice game will be played with the Knights of Columbus Five, while Ripley’s Georgetown University charges probably will be met either Thursday or Friday. While no real competition is looked for from amateur outfits, Manager Kennedy believes that the games will give his men plenty of needed work as well as opportunities of brushing up their passing and cutting game. The Palace Club is not the only one threatened by a shake-up, Johnny Beckman, Detroit pilot, has asked waivers on four players, Frank Stuchbury, Jimmy Gordon, Dick Doyle and Frank Sibley; Fort Wayne is willing to let out Teddy Feldt, while Philadelphia has put Meyer Kiakowitch on the waiver market. The Detroiters will be here for a pair of games Sunday and Monday, and Manager Kennedy is authority for the statement that his team will be at its best for these games. The Palace boys are handicapped by a poor start, but there still is time for them to get in the Eastern section finals and Kennedy . states that the long looked for winning streak is due to start with these Detroit games.

He doesn’t like to play football, and felt little urge to play in succeeding games, but against George Washington, which was a heavy favor- ite to beat his team, his presence was imperative. If ever one man ever dominated a football game, Foley dominated that ;game. He was Catholic University’s challenge to George Washington and he played his part so well that he scored two of the important touchdowns and set himself up as a constant menace to |George Washington University’s attack. ) | George Washington knew that Foley 1 ) | was the chief threat of the Cardinals ( ‘but it was powerless to halt him, Foley is a guard on the basket- ball team and is playing his third year on the varsity. Basketball is his favorite sport and he plays as if he likes the game. He is one of the most accurate shooters on the team and does not confine his effective- ness to guarding but contributes his share of the scoring. Charley Moran, athletic director of Catholic University, who qualifies as a baseball authority as a scout for the Detroit Tigers, insists Foley is the best college baseball player ever to come under his eye and that as a center fielder he is all to be desired from a hitting, fielding and throwing angle. Moran asserts that Foléy can play major league baseball any time he sees fit to forsake his amateur status. D. C. Boy on Winning College Golf Team W. B. Mason, jr., of Washington, D.

The University of North Carolina was winner in the tournament, with an ag- gregate gross score Of 291. Duke Uni- versity was runner-up, with an aggre- gate score of 293 points. Apaches Play Sunday; Hawks Are Through The Apaches, District unlimited foot- ball champions, will meet. the Virginia A. C., of Alexandria, in the lone grid- iron attraction on Sunday at Union League Park. The “Little Indians” are still in training and have prac- ticed twice this week in preparation for its impending clash. with the winner of the Holmstead-Lansdowne, Baltimore’s sandlot classic. The Mohawks’ lease on American League Park expired last Sunday, and the team will put away its football togs until next year. Weather permitting, the Mohawks would heve played the aspiring Northern Eleven, 150-pound champions, on last Sunday.

Aggies — re ster snes Catholic U. Eleven Loses 13 Players by Graduation Coach McAulliffe Must Develop Virtually an Entire Team Next Fall; Murphy Seen as Coming Star. By ORRELL MITCHELL. HE Catholic University Football Team, which climaxed a fairly successful season with a brilliant triumph over George Washington in its biggest game, will be shattered by graduations this year. Thirteen play- ers of the football squad will receive their diplomas in June, and of this number ten have been ‘considered as regulars. Foremost among those who have played their last gridiron game for Catholic University is Capt. Ray Foley, the inspiring leader of the Cardinals, and a truly great quarter back and triple-threat man. Then there are Raymond Dufour, a fine aggressive tackler; William Linskey, a nice center man; Johnny Long ,whose end play has ‘played an important factor in the Brooklanders’ success; William Harvey, &@ fast half back; Steve Towell and Paul Saffo, a pair of fine running guards; Joseph Tierney, Catholic University’s strong man, and Edward Geyer, two good tackles; Jim Carney and William Byrne, reserve ends—a host of expe- rienced players, which is surely to leave the Cardinal Team greatly weakened. But every dark cloud has a silver lining, and whereas Coach Me- Auliffe with a sentiment common to all coaches realizes his irretriev- able loss, he looks hopefully to the future as he thinks over the fine sophomore material available, of which he must build his next year’s eleven. Tom McCabe has displayed his ability to fill Linskey’s shoes in the important center position, while another sopho- more lad by the name of Gene Murphy aspires to Ray Foley’s position as a quarter back and threat man—an am- bition which is not built on vain hopes, Murphy’s ability as a forward passer is well known, and besides he is a fast, shifty runner, a fair punter, who should improve with coaching. Alan Malevich, the Cardinals’ sturdy full back, has also two more years of football, and in view of his play dur- ing the past season, the case of Male- viclt is one of exceeding optimism to the Catholic U. alumni and supporter. Among. the other promising material are Oscar Gerth, a tackle,- and Ross Zeno, @ guard; D'Agostino, an end; James Schmidt, Joseph Champa and John Heiner, backs, all of whom saw varsity service during the year. Because of its irregular schedule and scholastic conditions, which greatly handicapped the Catholic University Freshman Team this season, no definfte line could be obtained on any half back possible varsity talent for next year. Odum O’Brien, the yearling cap- tain, looms as the most serious con- | tender, while several of the linemen also shape up as likely candidates for varsity vacancies. G erman Halt-Mile Record Holder Here to Study Sport Conditions EW YORK, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Dr, Otto Peltzer, a tall, slim, blonde young man of 27, who holds the championship of the world for the hajf- mile run, arrived on the steamship Berlin today from his native Germany. “I come to study sport conditions and to see your country,” he explained through an interpreter. It is his first trip to the United States. “After six weeks I might run, who knows?” he shrugged, smiling when re- minded he bears no permit from the German amateur sports governing body which corresponds to the Amateur Athletic Union in this country. “They are afraid in Germany that 1 might not be so good in the olympics if I run in this country. I believe I would be better. It would do me good, They are also afraid I would not appear to advantage on indoor tracks, but I am not afraid, I would rather run on cinders, but I have learned to run on boards also. “With just one good race I would be in condition. I am always in condition, No, I have not been running recently T have not had time.”’ Dr.. Peltzer declared emphatically that the German A, A. U. does not share a fear expressed by a news- paper in his country that “the dol- far runs faster” even than he, and may induce him to become a pro- fessional while here. “Most of all I want to run in the olympics,” he said. “I am not going to be a professional.” His profession, he explained, is teach- ing history and geography in a coedue cational school, Partly for that reason he is desirous of seeing American colleges and uni- versities—stadiums and running tracks included—while he is here, For six weeks at least, he will be making trips from New York to such centers as he wants to see—especially Washington and Chicago. His leave of absence from his school room lasts until Easter. He will pay his respects to officials of the United States A. A. U. at the earliest opportunity, he said, Peltzer set a world mark of 1 minute 51 3-5 seconds for a half-mile race in England July 3, 1926.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1% But while the monkey wrencl is be- ing tossed, I wonder if Dr. Kinley or Mr. Huff of the Carnegie Foundation intend to spare a few monkey wrenches for certain other popular recreations on the ground that among those present there are invariably an incorrigible and utterly immoral few who have sunk so low that they will deliberately poison the characters of the young by going about with fumes on their breath end the endless stanzas of “One Grasshop- per” on their Hips, I refer particularly to the secm- ingly innocent custom of holding conventions because I have spent considerable time in Philadelphia and Atlantic City covering the training and performauces of noted pugilists during the last few years and I have personally smetied fumes and have seen flasks with ' my own eyes. It was something of a shock, too, you may be sure, to notice delegations in gaudy lodge uniforms reeling along the Atlantic City boardwalk’ or out of Philadelphia hotels under banners pro- Claiming them to be from rural strong- holds of strict sobriety, singing “What the Hel] Do We Care.” Laudable as the movement is to sup- press football in order to prevent vicious old grads from seizing the students and forcing liquor down thelr innocent necks, the movement obviously has plenty of room in which to move,. and Plenty of other innocent pastimes to Suppress on the ground that they only serve to cloak the evil of the lawless element. I might even call attention fo the political conventions and respectfully suggest that if there are any spare monkey wrenches a few might be tossed in this direction, becaus: I have at- tended several of these solemn sessions of delegates sent to speak the people's will and have seen gentlemen so for- getful of their trust that they fell asleep wehere they happened to fall. There is no telling what evil may be- fall the country if the convention sys- tem ig not abolished to thwart the same evil that now besets football, but one dire possibility suggests itself. That is that a majority of del- gates might find themselves suffer- ing from hangover. some morning, with nothing to assuage it, and in a moment of. yearning nominate a nullifieationist, I have a pretty good nose for fumes and a keen eye for flasks when sitting out in the wintry open spaces watchin: football games, but I must say that 1 have. found the-evil complained of to be pelntuily rare at times. And even if I ad found it plentiful I would not wish to abolish intercollegiate football. Let him who is without evil cast the first monkey wrench. MILAN TO RETURN TO NATS AS COACH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17. port at the Tampa training camp next Spring, Onslow undeubtedly would make his presence felt. There is, of course, no question but what Milan will prove himself a handy man to have around. A veteran at the game and a former star, both as a fly-hawk and a base-runner, he should help polish some of the out- field “ivory” which the Nats hope te turn into the finished product. Base- running to a certain extent has be- come a lost art in these days of the “rabbitt” ball and the home-run craze. Milan can not make racers out of truck-horses, but he no doubt can show several of the Nats who have some speed afoot how to slide into the sack and avoid base-coverers when they once get near the bases. ' Milan’s addition to the staff is a good one, but it should not be at Onslow’s expense and, as the writer sees it, the Nats will make a mistake if they do not sign both of these veterans. Milan returns to the Nationals from Memphis, where he managed the Chicks for the past three seasons, playing some of the time, ‘There is no question but what he was @ great base stealer in his time. While here in 1910, he led the league with 44 thefts, he pilfered 58 the next season, while in 1912 his mark of 88 was @ record which stood until 1915, en Cobb broke it by stealing 98 s. It is in this respect that Milan prob- ably will help the Nats most, for fiy- chasing success is due more to good judgment in playing for opposing bat- ters and the natural ability to catch filles and peg well than to any great knowledge of the game. The latter comes largely from experience and no amount of coaching will give a young- ster this. Im connection with his coaching plans, President Griffith also announced that Altrock and Schacht again will be with the Nats, doing their comedy stuff as a side-line.

ISPLAYING a determined attack, the Central High School Quintet won over the St. John’s Cadets ‘yesterday in a fast and well-played game in the Vermont Avenue gymna- sium. The score was 25 to 21. Although holding a 19-to-7 advantage at the half, the Centralites were forced jto the limit in the closing periods to \cop the verdict, as the Cadets spurted 'to threaten continually, failing, how- jever, to cage the necessary points to ‘overcome the early lead of the Mount Pleasanters. Both teams showed good passing games, with Burgess, of Central, lead- jing both fives in the scoring with four field goals. The flashy forward was !n- jured at the start of the third period and, had not Central amassed such an ‘@arly lead the team would have suf- fered greatly, as Miller, who substituted ‘for him, was guarded so closely that he failed to score. Every man on the St. John’s Team figured in the shooting of double-deck- ers in their fruitless efforts to over- come Central. Cronin, Tucker and Fal- cone were the stars in this offensive “Measure.

NLEASHING a whirlwind attack in the last five minutes which literally swept its opponents off their feet, the first company of Eastern High School’s basketball army defeated the limited forces of the Woodward School, 50 to 32, yesterday in the East- ern High School gymnasium. In view of their brilliant play yester- day the quintet of Cappelli and Ryan at forwards,, Bushong at center, Capt. Depro and Essex at guards, seems to be the best combination Coach Guyon has hit upon. During the first three periods the Woodward basketers more than held their own against several of Coach Guyon’s quintets, but under a rapid- fire shooting rampage by Cappelli and Essex, the game developed into a rout in the closing minutes. Cappelli, the spearhead of East- ern’s sidden attack, flashed a bril- liant brand of passing and shooting during the spree, dashing in and out of the Woodward defense, feinting, pivoting and dribbling in dazzling style. During the “big p parade,” which is b@eoming an every-day affair over at Eastern, the hopeful Woodward quintet seized a temporary lead, and kept with- in close range of Eastern by virtue of some nice shooting by little Johnny De Espard and Hayes, who between them scored 22 of their team’s points. Roome, of Woodward, and Depro and Bushong, of the Blue and White five, displayed effective guarding throughout the game. Eastern. Hisle, Fisher, Cappelli, Ohman, R, Miles, rf. Hoffman, rf. Woodward.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES I’resent: The Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Stone, Mr. Justice McReynolds, Mr. Justice Krandeis, Mr. Justice Butier, Mr. Justice Saa- ford and Mr. Van Devanter. New York, Dec. 6 (A.P.).—Steel ingot production in November is calculated at 3,101,764 tons by the American Iron and Steel Institute, the smallest month- ly output this year, bringing the total for eleven months of 1927 to 39,890,571 the corresponding 1926 period. Ap- was 119,299 tons against 126,500 tons in October and 142.529 tons in Novem- ber, 1926. Per cent of operations for eleven months was 86.20 against 94.87 in the same period last year. Output of the Independent Sheet Steel Industry in November amounted crease Of 110,600 tons over November 1. Public offering of 100,000 shares of common stock of the McKeesport Tin Plate Co., largest single tin plate manu- facturer in the United States, is being made at $60 a share by George H. Burr é& Co. Proceeds of the issue will be used to retire $6,000,000 of bonds sold in 1926, leaving the company without of stock outstanding. Common stock of Republic Iron & Steel Co. probably will be cnanged from $100 par, to no par value, when the present 300,000 shares are increased to permit absorption of Trumbull Steel. dispatches from Youngstown say.

The Crouse-Hinds Co., of Syracuse, N. Y¥., from which the District made the purchases that were investigated by the Gibson subcommittee, bid lowest on only one item, that of bracket arms. On the entire list of twelve items its proposal was fourth from lowest. Hasty and unofficial tabulation of the bids last night seemed to indicate the lowest bidder was the General Elec- tric Co. This was one of the concerns agents of which asserted they were dis- criminated against in the bidding on earlier contracts. Alternative Prices Bid. the marriage. “King” Emil Mitchell, gypsy tribal leader, yesterday petitioned the District Supreme Court to annul the recent mar- riage in Rockville, Md., of his daugh- ter, “Princess” Julia Mitchell, to Will- lam L. Osborn, of 2222 hannon place southeast. The petition avers that the “prin- cess,” whom her father says is 15 years of age, was under the age of 18 and did not have her father’s consent to The petition also avers she is living with her husband, Osborn, Traffic arrangements for the diplo- matic reception.at the White House tomorrow night were announced yester- day by Col. Blanton Winship, military aid to the President. The President and Mrs. Coolidge will begin receiving at 9 o’clock. The southwest and east en- trances to the White House grounds will be opened at 8 o'clock. Guests having blue carriage cards for entrance by the southwest gate will enter by the southwest gate on West Executive avenue, and cars will leave the grounds by the southeast gate on East Executive avenue, and will be parked on West Executive avenue and host to the highest representative on the American continent of King George of England, when the Viscount Willingdon, governor general of the Dominion of Canada, arrived in Wash- ington on a formal visit which will last until Friday. All of the ceremony and pomp which the greatest of republic bestows on royal visitors were given to the gov- ernor general and the Viscountess Willingdon, for® in their persons they represent the royal family of Great Britain. As the climax of their first day in Washington the viscount and viscount- ess were the guests of President and only because of alleged threats of her husband that he would bring personal harm to the Mitchell family if his romance is interfered with by “King” Emil. Attorneys Harry F. Kennedy and Mi- chael J. Lane represent “King” Emil, who filed the petition as “father and next friend” of “Princess” Julia. Yesterday marked the third occasion since November 18, when the “princess” was married in Rockville, Md., after at elopement from Philadelphia, that the gypsy romance has been aired in court Several days following the wedding, “King” Emil had his daughter and. “outcast” son-in-law brought into Po- | lice Court to answer charges of grand larceny following the alleged disappear- ance of $285 and some jewelry. The charges were nolle prossed.. However, “King” Emil, through Attorney Lane, had his daughter brought before Juve- nile Court Judge Kathryn Sellers on a charge of incorrigibility. This charge was dismissed, and yesterday’s court action was the keeping of a promise by “King” Emil that he would carry to the highest courts his fight to regain cus- tody of his “royal” daughter. Gypsy tribal leaders from all parts of the United States have come to the headquarters of the Mitchell Tribe, at 219 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, to lend their support to “King” Emil. The gypsies are riled because of the insist- ence of “Princess” Julia to stick with her husband, but are confident the Dis- trict Supreme Court will annul the marriage and order the “princecs” into the custody of her father.

However, there were alternative prices in both Dids that might switch the result. There were ten bidders. The principal item was for the sig- mals themselves. These were offered at $29.89 each by the American Gas Ac- cumulator Co., and at $30.85 each by the General Electric Co. The Crouse- Hinds Co. quoted a price of $44.24.

CHOOSING CONVENTION CITY. Honored Through Day. Through a day replete with the cere- monials due his rank as the Official and personal representative of a reign- ing sovereign, Viscount Willingdon progressed from call to call, surround- ed by the attentions of a nation which has lived in amity with the dominion of which he is the virtual ruler. Upon the arrival of the special train bearing the viscount and his party, at the Union Station, he was greeted by. Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg and a score of high officials of the civilian and armed branches of the Government. The official reception by the Secretary of State over at the train platform, the governor general and his party walked through a lane of United States Marines, standing at present arms. At the entrance to the Presi- dential room at the station, the Cana- dian visitors were greeted by what nas come to be known as America’s unoffi- cial, but always present reception com- mittee—the cameramen. From the station, the party, escorted by a troop of Cavalry with drawn sabers, drove. to the Canadian Legation, 1746 Massachusetts avenue, which is to re- place the vice regal residence at Ottawa during their stay in this country. After an informal luncheon at the legation the viscount and viscountess received members of the legation staff Visit at White House. Shortly after 4 o’clock the viscount and viscountess set forth to pay their first formal visit. Surrounded by a squad of motorcycle policemen, ‘he party motored to the White House, where they were received by rresident and Mrs. Coolidge. The reception was brilliant, the colorful uniforms of mein- bers of the Canadian party mingling with the dress uniform of the military and naval aids to the Presideat. Ten minutes after the visitors had .eft the White House, the President and Mrs. Coolidge drove to the legation to repay their call. - The program for the stay of the vis- Orders May Be Split. The specifications upon which the proposals were based state the Commis- sioners may buy all the equipment from one concern or item by item, as seems to them best. Therefore, the order may be split so that no one concern will get it all. Whereas the prices for the entire outfit ranged in the bids from $35,000 to $68,000, the total expense of the project will be several times either amount. There is cable to buy at great expense, and installation is the most costly item of all The bids will be officially tabulated today and contracts will be let before the end of the month, as it is necessary to obligate the appropriation before that time or it will lapse.
