|NNEED OF PORT.
LandIocked Bolivia Has 40
Per Cent of Worlds Drugs.
Greatest Tin Deposits.

Necessity of a port for Bolivia IL
peace is to be maintained in South
America and if American commerce

Aughinbaugh, professor of foreign
trade I'M Columbia University, and a
member of the Bolivian Port Res
toration League, who is in Washing
ton today to further league interests
from the standpoint of member.
Never will peace exist In, South
america until Bolivia is given a port"
he said. Since 1870, when Bolivia
lost to Chile her coast line on the
Pacific. she has been landlocked
nation. Within her borders are easily
40 per cent of the worlds supply of
rich in tin, anthony, tungsten and
other valuable materials. But to get
her exports out she must either pay
customs duty to Chile or to Peru.
"In 1918. the United States ranked
seventh in commerce with Bolivia.

second in business relations with
Bolivia, being ahead of every country
but Great Britain, which she is
rapidly pushing into a position Of
less Importance.
Bolivia bought from US In 1920.
goods worth $5,0O0,000 She sold us
five years our trade with her will
quadruple because in the past year
Americans have invested. ab6ut $780,
100000 in her mines and oil fields.
Besides, Bolivia is borrowing $1,000
900 in the United States, all to be
spent in building railways. in which
American material and rolling stock
is to be used.
BOLIVIA must have a seaport of her
own. She is the minteral storehouse
of the world. No country equals her
in deposits of tin, of which, in 1921
the United States purchased s1S.552.-
400; tungsten. of which we took in
1921, $3.193.O00: copper. $3.S51 900:
rubber. s3,724,S00; other articles. ST.
$4,000.
Everything coming into or going
out of Bolivia is obliged to go
through either a Chilean or a Peru

its expense to the exporter and i'm

Child CRUSADERS"
ARE DISAPPOINTED
Second Failure at White
House as Daily Calls
Are Begun.

President Harding has no intention
Of passing judgment upon the cases
of men serving terms in federal pris-
ons for violations of wartime laws
until each individual case has been
reviewed by the Attorney General
and reported to him.
This was reiterated in emphatic
terms yesterday afternoon by George
Christian. the Presidents secretary,
when Mrs Kate Richards O'Hare and
seventeen children of war law vio-
lators called at the executive Office
for an audience with the President.
Prompt Action Promised.
Secretary Christian assured Mrs.
O'Hare that the President will act
promptly and fairly in the matter
when the Attorney General has COM
pleted his review, but that he has no
idea of taking any action before that
time.
After making a protest to the effect
that she thought these little children"
as American cltiZens. were entitled to an
audience with the President and to the
same privileges as other American
citizens. she left the building saying that
she and her crusaders" as she terms
the. children. will call at the executive
office each afternoon until the Presi-
dent agrees to see them.
No Picketing Planned.
Mrs O'Hare explained to newspaper
men that it is not her intention to ar
range any demonstrations other than
the daily call. She said there would
be no picketing and no carrying of
banners or other acts of protest. All
ideas of picketing the golf course while
the President plays. as originally
threatened, has been abandoned, Mrs.
OHare stated.
The White House has made no effort
to conceal feeling against tactics be-
ing used by those carrying on the CRU
SADIE" especially the use of little chill
dren as innocent participants. The
President has expressed himself very
plainly in the matter.

CONDEMNED MANS PLEA
UP NEXT WEDNESDAY
Chief Justice Mccoy Continues
Hearing of Arguments on Le-
gality of Hanging.

Chief Justice Mccoy of the District
Supreme Court today continued until
next Wednesday the arguments on
the habees corpus petition filed by
Charles Price, colored. in which he
claims there is no properly consti-
tuted hangman in the District of Co.
lumbfa. Price is under sentence of
death and his execution has been de-
ferred until May 90. Attorney James
A. O'Shea, counsel for Price, was out
of the city and Assistant United
States Attorney OLeary consented
to the postponement Of the argu-
mentS.
Mr.. O'Leary expects to file earlv
next week the answer of the super
intendent of the Washington Asylum
and Jail, in which that official will
claim that he is empowered to con-
duct hangings by virtue of an act
of Congress passed in 1912. This act
specifically directs that the superin-
tendent shall carry out the judg-
ments of the District Supreme Court
in capital cases already pronounced
and to be pronounced.
Attorney O'Shea raised the point
that with the abolition of the posi-
ton of warden of the Jail in 1911
the power to execute prisoners was
not specifically transferred to the
Superintendent of the WASHINGTON
Asylum and Jail and that such power
must be specially granted. He claimed
that all the hangings since that year
had been Illegal.
