Recent Army Rifle Competition.

A report of the recent army rife competi-
ton at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, shows
that the scores made this year have never
been exceeded at that competition except
during the years 1929. AS the condition
of army service during the past four yeare
has made systematical target practice al
most impossible at many of the stations, 1t
not only a very creditable performance for
the men, but also good cause for satisfac-
ton in the gun with which our troops are
armed. In other words it is assumed that
ly good scores as heretofore, the accuracy
of the rifle must be considerably greater
than that of the gun formerly in the hands
of the troops.

THE ATTORNEY GENERALS HORSES
The Humane Society Thinks He Il
Overwhelming Them.


Attorney General Knox has received from
the Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals letter indicating that he is over
checking his pair Of fast-trotting and high
stepping horses. It is not known what
steps will follow the formal writing Of this
letter, but 1t is known that the Attorney
General does not consider that he is doing
his horses any harm or is in any way cruel
to them. He will therefore simply receive
the communication as information and
take no steps to discontinue or modify the
checking OF his animals. If the society in
tends to prosecute the Attorney General
he will make no objection, and will simply
show the state of facts.
Friends of Mr. Knox declare that the sug-
gestion that he Is cruel to his horses is an
are not any better treated or handled than
this famous pair Of trotters belonging to
the head of the Department of Justice. Mr.
Knox pays man $40 a month, with room
and board to care for his horses This
stableman is required to give the horses a
bath of hot soap suds after each drive, and
to follow the bath with witch hazel and
slowed upon their food and upon their har-
ness. While the horses are checked a little
more than usual with ordinary horses II is
declared that they could not be driven any
other way, their high spirit making 1t dam
gerous to drive them under less checking.
The animals were bred to this, and would
not know what to do otherwise
discuss the matter. Dat 1t is known that he
will not change the manner of checking his
trotters, two OF the finest animals In the
world.

M kINLEY'S BIRTHDAY
DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS RECON-
MEND THAT 1T BE OBSERVED.
Action Based Upon n Suggestion Re-
ceived From Former Secretary
William II. Day.

The District Commissioners have received
communication from Judge William r.
Day, former Secretary of State and presi-
dent of the Mckinley National Memorial
Association, which has for it's object the
erection by popular subscription of me-
mortal at the grave of President Mckinley
at Canton, Ohio, inclosing an appeal from
Governor George X. Nash of Ohio suggest
ing celebration on next Wednesday, jan
uary %, the fifty ninth anniversary of the
birth of William Mckinley, as Mckinley
day, by appropriate exercises, and that q
tribute be made by citizens and those in
terested to the memorial fund Judge Day
and Governor Nash have requested that
the Commissioners issue an appeal to the
people of the District of Columbia.
After comforting with the secretary to the
President, Mr.. Cortelyou, who represents
the District of Columbia on the board of
trustees of the Mckinley Memorial Associa-
ton. the Commissioners decided to issue
the following statement:
Citizens Asked to Observe Day.
"wednesday. the 29th of January instant,
will be the fifty-ninth anniversary of the
birth of the late President Mckinley. At
the suggestion of Judge William r. Day,
president of the Mckinley National Memo
rial Association and of George X. Nash,
governor of Ohio, the Commissioners desire
to draw the attention of the citizens Of the
District of Columbia to that day, and to
invite them to observe it in such ways as
may seem appropriate to them, but espe-
cially by contributing to the fund Of the
Mckinley National Memorial Association
for the purpose of erecting monumental
memorial at the grave of President Nc
Kinley at Canton, Ohio. AS there Is no
local organization of the Mckinley Ma
tional Memorial Association in the District
of Columbia, it is the desire of the associa-
ton that remittances be made directly to
Myron T. Herrick, treasurer, Cleveland,
Ohio.
In It's appeal to the country the Nc
Kinley National Memorial Association says
its aim 'is that the memorial tomb rising
above the final resting place of William Nc
Kinley shall be from the people who love
him. If all the friends of the living VIII
liam Mckinley will show their faith by SUD-
stantial remembrance on this day, his me-
mortal will be a splendid tribute from the
whole people. 1t is hoped that the re-
sponse of the people will be so liberal that
a memorial may be erected which will fit
tingly honor the memory of our martyred
President and emphasize their loyalty to
our institutions and their adherence of
that of lawlessness which inspired the as

THEY ARE FOR PERSONS HE WILL
MEET HERE.

BERLIN, January 23.--Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia selected at the court

Proposal Made Before the Pan
American Conference.
TO SETTLE INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS
It Meets the Approval of United
States Delegates.
DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY

MEXICO CITY, January 23-The project
for an international court of claims is the
most important that yet remains to be de-
cided by the Pan-American conference The
object of the project is to provide a er;pu-
nal for the settlement of pecuniary claims
brought against any one of the sigma tory
nations by the citizens of any other, ellcn
the government of the nations to which .tle
claimant belongs has failed, through it's
diplomatic agents, to secure settlement
of such claims.
1t is understood that the claims III ques-
ton must be based upon alleged acts Or
omissions of the government or officials Of
the nation, against which the claims are
brought to the detriment of the personal
interest of citizen or citizens Of Il ma
tion which undertakes to press tli.s claim s..
The project looks to the making Of Il treaty
whereby the signatory nations will CbliSe
themselves for period of five years to sub
nit such claims to the permanent arbitra
tion court of The Hague The treaty, if
adopted, will in fact be tan$amount to
compulsory arbitration convention applied
exclusively, however, to pecuntary claims.
Acceptable to United States.
The United States delegation is willing to
agree to this plan under certain conditions.
1t is recognized that it would, IN many re-
spects, be advantageous to Americans re-
siding in some spanish-American Countries,
as citizens of the United States occasionally
have claims Of this nature against tha gov
ernments of these countries. of which the
most protracted diplomatic correspondence
fails to procure settlement.
There are some bitches, however q, the
final approval of the project in onlmittee.
One is that the Mexican delegations desire
the insertion of clause to the fleet that
claimants, before having recourse to The
Hague court must prove that they have eX-
hausted all legal means of redress In the
country against which the claim is brought
Again, it is recognized that The Hague
court may not be open to all nations of
America, and for certain cases t may be
necessary to create a special tribunal The
composition of such tribunal causes some
perplexity. 1t is hoped, however, that these
difiiculties may be disposed OF so as to ena-
bic the project to be reported by the COM
mittee to the conference before adjourn
ment.

Want to Present Their Case to the
Court of Claims,

Three descendants of the famous Indian
warrior Tecumseh stood impassive In the
corridor outside Of the Office of the commits
sioner Of Indian affairs this morning. They
were Thomas Rock. chief OF the Shawnee
council; Thomas Washington and Thomas
w. Afford. The chief of the council and
Thomas Washington are very old men, but
are erect as arrows and as strong as any
athlete In the capital. Afford is younger,
and is the interpreter. The three constitute

In Pottawatamie county, Oklahoma
Before the rebellion of the state of Texas
against the authority Of Mexico," said Az
ford, ''the Mexican government granted
the Shawnee nation large ira CT of ground
north of the Sabine river. near what is
now the city of Tyler. In the rebellion the
Shawnees took sides with the Texans and
opposed the Mexican forces. When the re-
bellion terminated successfully for the
Texans Gov. Sam Houston affirmed the
grant to the Shawnees and the Indians
took possession. But when Texas became
part of the United States this government
refused to reaffirm the grant. Accordingly.
the Shawnee nation has sent us three rep
resentatives to urge before the department

No. 6O0.' which authorizes the Court of
Claims to consider a petition from the
ShaWnees for reimbursement"

failed to supply the domestic demand. 1t
has failed to diminish imports or. even to
keep them from increasing. And 1t has
levied a burdensome tax upon the Ameri-
can people. We should greatly rejoice to
see it do otherwise, to see it do what the
tinplate industry has DONE But thus far 1t
must be confessed it gives no encouraging
promise of so doing.
LAS simple business proposition, and as
a proposition in political economy of the
protectionist school, it does not seem rea-
sonable to tax the people of this nation
more than $500S0.000 a year for the devel-
opment of an industry which declines to be
developed, and for the protection of an iu-
dustry which declares itself to be in no
need of protection"
Petition Against Change.
While the ways and means hearing was
going on yesterday a petition was circulas-
ed on the floor of the House requesting the
ways and means committee to make no
changes in the tariff laws likely to inju-
riously affect the beet sugar industry.
About forty-five republican members from
Michigan, California, Indiana, Ohio, Kan
sas and other beet producing states signed
the petition On the democratic side the
Louisiana members and Mr. Shafroth Of
Colorado were among the signers. Those In
charge of the petition expect to get seventy
names before it is presented to the ways
and means committee,
