U. S. OFFICIAL dies
OF RARE DISEASE
A. J. Frey, Vice President of
Shipping Board, Passes
Away.

A. J. Frey. 17I2 Sixteenth, street
northwest, vice president OF the
United States Shipping Board Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, IN charge
of physical operations, died at the
Johns Hopkins Hospital. Baltimore.
yesterday. Death was due to the
San Joaquin Valley disease. one of
the rarest maladies known to med
ical science.
At the bedside when death oc-
CURED were his wife. Ms son and
his brother in law. all OF whom had
been almost constantly at the hos
pital since the disease-of which
there are only sixty cases on record
in medical history, fifty-seven of
which were fatal-was diagnosed.
Upon being informed OF Mr..
Frey's death. Chairman A. d. Lasker
OF the Shipping Board. stated that
he was the greatest physical ship
operating man America has ever
produced" and that the best work
in the Shipping Board had been
done by him during the time he was
on active duty.
Mr.. Frey was taken i'll several
months ago at his home. and as a
result of his illness eight physi-
clans were called in consultation.
Unable to diagnose the case. the
physicians urged his removal to the
Johns Hopkins Hospital. where DR..
Barker and the entire staff of the
institution, after weeks OF investi-
cation, discovered that he was suf-
fering from the dreaded San Joa-
Quin malady.
San Joaquin Valley disease Is an
ailment which resembles tuberculosis,
according to physicians at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital, except that it af-
fects every part of the body at prac-
tically the same time that the lungs
become infected. However. tubercu-
losis treatment is OF no assistance in
the treatment of this malady.
Beginning with a fever. loss Of
weight and general depression of the
victims constitution. the disease soon
develops in the lungs and spreads to
all of the other vital organs of the
body, the physicians says.
The first cases OF the disease. dis
covered about 1907. came from: the
San Joaquin Valley. Cal. and when
followed by other cases from the
same section it was at tina. time
believed that the germs of the ailment
only existed IN tnat section OF inc
country. During recent years. how
ever. cases have appeared in various
sections of the country. but the dis
ease still continues to retain the
name by which it was originally
known.
The first cases We're only recogniz-
able after death. when postmortem
operations were performed. but during
the past several years the disease
has become better understood, al
though still a considerable mystery
to medical science. and can now be
diagnosed while the patient is stii
alive.

Secretary Mellon was unable to re-

RATIO IS OPPOSED

To obtain the Senate's agreement
t. the conferees' report on the Dis
trict appropriations bill without
further delay. Senator Lawrence c.
Phipps, of Colorado. chairman Of the
subcommittee In charge OF the bill will
ask unanimous consent to bring the
bill up today, he announced yester-
day.
Action on the bill as amended by
the conferees and passed by the
HOUSE has been purposely delayed
lending an investigation to locate s5.-
100000 supposed to belong to the Dis
trict as the result Of the fiscal rela-
tions between the Federal and the
District governments
No action having been taken in ths
House on the resolution providing for
an investigation. Chairman Phipps
has decided to proceed regardless oi
what the investigation may develop
Opposition TO the report OF the co.i-
ferees is expected to be directed
mainly against amendment numbered
one which proposes to fix a 60-4:
ratio between the District and thu
Federal governments and place the
District on a cash basis rather than
continue the present practice Of ad.
vancing the annual expenses of the
District.
The new measure also provides tina,
taxes shall be levied on The full valu'
alton of property rather than on q
two thirds valuation as In the past.
Senator Phipps has insisted when
discussing the bill that a thorough
1t
would remove all opposition to It.
He contends that an increase OF
taxation may not necessarily result
from the passage of the bill and the
District can be placed on a cash
basis by 1927 without any difficulty
If II is given possession of the
s5,000,000 standing to its credit In
the Treasury.
Representatives of the various
civic and trades bodies in the Dis
trict have opposed bitterly the
extra tax burden they insist has
been imposed upon the District and
various members of the Senate have
expressed their intention of fighting
the report OF the conferees whe n
it comes before that body.
An effort 10 block the passage of
anne ndment No. l was made in the
House by Representative r. Walton
Moore. of Virginia, who held that
the conferees had exceeded their
authority in fixing a tax rate. but
the chair refused TO sustain the
point of order
Senator Phipps would not discuss
the question OF whether the bill
might be amended in the Senate,
but intimated that he would meet
the demands OF the Senate.

Special Finonoto, correspondencs

TORONTO, April S.-There are
much speculation and some uneasi-
ness on the part Of certain industrial
interests as to the tariff measures
which will be introduced by the new
Canadian government at the present
session. Details of forthcoming
tariff legislation are closely guarded
until their announcement by the
Minister of Finance, when, following
British practice, such fiscal proposals
become effective Immediately, in
stead of enforcement being delayed
until the bills have been passed by
Parliament.
The annual budget speech possibly
may be delivered during the week inn
medlately preceding Easter, but more
probably will wait over until Easter
week or even later. There is reason to
believe that the tariff changes to be in
troduced have not vet been determined
although reductions in a few schedules
referred to in the platform of the
agrarans are said to be under consid-
GRAFTON by the Minister of Finance.
IN the speech from the throne. legis-
laton OF the current session was fore
| cast, and the following reference was
madeto the tariff:
You will be invited to consider the
expediency of making some changes in
the customs tariff. While there are de-
talls OF revision the consideration of
which will require time and care that
are not at present avariable, there are
features of the tariff which it is felt
may properly be dealt with during the
present session."
This pedge appears to have been
gwen 1or the principal purpose of re-
assuring the Progressives. The Lib
erals-~the government party-are the
largest group in the present Dominion
rarllament, but they have not a
straight majority and, like the Liberal
provincial administrations in Alberta
and Saskatchewan, they occupy their
present position by the grace of the
agrarian low tariff element. Since the
King government first took office its
policy of necessity has been directed
largely to maintaining the support of
the Progressives, who constitute the
second largest group in the House
ana nave taken position toward the
government of friendly neutrality"
Friendly Toward Industry
1t is no secret that the government
IS friendly toward industry and re-
luctant to make any change in the
tariff which would cause hardship OF
en- barrassment, especially under pres
ent difficult conditions. But the ad-
| ministration does not control the stu
alton Independently of the Progress
ssives,, and the foremost question OF
! Canadian Federal politics TODAY is
this: Will the agrarian Shylock OBJ.
tain his pond of flesh, or will the
Liberal party be able to save the An
tonic of industry by any device Of wit
| or party strategy?
Rumor has it that the government
will Implement the pledge given in the
speech from the throne by bringing
