Minnesota Slight
To La Toilette
HurtsGou.Blaine

By the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, November Gov.
Blaine in q telegram today to Gov.
J. A. o. Preuss of Minnesota said that
he wished to express the great re-
greet Of the people of Wisconsin that
the authorities Of Minnesota have
seen fit to deny a United States SEN
ator from this state the right to
speak in a public building there on
the ground that his political views
may differ from those of the public
officials"
Gov. Blaine's message, inspired by
the refusal of the Minnesota state
fair board to permit Senator La Fol-
lette to speak on the fair grounds of
that state, informed Gov. Preuss that
officials Of Wisconsin would always
extend every courtesy to the high
officials of Minnesota.
Our view of the constitutional
right Of free assemblaKe and free
speech will alawys lead us to accord
every courtesy to tho high officials of
your state, who may wish to express
their opinions from the PLATFORM" the
telegram said. Such has been our
record in the past, and 1t will be our
policy in the future"

danger OF friction with the mother
country" while the GOODNESS of Sir
Charles to the Sim Fein cause has
alienated many Irishmen from his
support. When he was named lieu
tenant governor Of Quebec by Sir
Robert Borden the French Canadians
bitterly resented II, considering that
the appointment should have gone
the face of the fact that Sir Charles
was one Of Sir Wilfred Laurier's most
powerful lieutenants.
Long I'm Public Life.
He long has enjoyed experience in
public life and has represented Great
Britain on several International COM
missions as counsel or arbitrator.
During his term as lord chief justice
he visited London once each year.
and has been wellnigh a commuter to
Washington. where he has many friends.
From a social point of view Wash
ington will find him a real acquisition
and he will also prove a distinct ad-
dition to the business colony. mas
much as he is remarkably vigorous
Individual.
What effect the appointment will
have. when announced, in London
remains to be seen. Whereas the re-
cent governments have encouraged
independency of action on the part
the policy of the conservatives in the
past to discourage any such course Of
action.

Halloween FroIic Fails to

Attendance at the mum" show Of
the Department of Agriculture con-
tinues to break all records. Yesterday
there were 4.6s1 visitors. in spite of
the Standardization in Halloween
frolic. BY noon today more than 500
persons had passed into the sbig
greenhouse at 14th and B streets

to the public free every day this week
from 8 am. until 9 pm.

All of the new seedlings this year
are going to be produced on a COM

ance has been given by eight of the
largest chrysanthemum growers, who
already have secured cuttings from

this plant. which, because OF its tropt-

An added attraction to the mum

Orange House Now Public.
Ordinarily the visitors are not per-
mitted to enter the orange house. but
on account of particular interest paid
to this historic tree when the Garden
Club Of America was conducted about
the department workshop. public at
tention was called to it and now all
the visitors ask to be allowed to
visit the orange house.
So many persons have so insistently
expressed their interest in all the diff

government greenhouses that officials
of the department, supported by vol
untary pledges of cooperation from
members of Congress. will endeavor
to get authority for new large con-

RICCI's VIEWS DIFFER.
Acceptance Of Resignation Expect
ed, as He Opposes Fascist.

By the Associated Press.
Because his political Affiliations are
at variance with those of the new
Italian premier, i: is the belief in
diplomatic circles here that the resig-
m ton Of Senator Ricci as Italian am
bassador to the United States prob
ably will be accepted and that an
other will be sent to Washington to
replace him.
While some of the designations be-
ing rendered by members of the
Italian diplomatic corps are regarded
here as having only perfunctory
Significance, the case Of Senator Ricci
is looked upon as falling in different
category. He was rated as a liberal
democrat, and although he never in
clined to the extreme socialistic view.
it is known here that his political
views do not accord with those of the
conservatives who compose the fas-
cisti party.
Envoy to Germany Socialistic.
Senator Frassati, who has resigned
as italian ambassador to Germany,
also is expected here to definitely part
company with the new regime at
Rome. Senator Frassati, like Senator
Ricci. was holding what might be
termed a political appointment, and
he was one of the directors Of the
Stampa and of decidedly soctalfStic
tendencies. Count Sforza. ambassador
at Paris, was, on the other hand, q
trained diplomatist.
Senator Ricci. accredited as ambas-
sador here on February 25, 1921. did
not occupy his post in Washington
for many weeks at a-time. and he now
has been absent for some time on a
visit to Italy.
Ricci Mt Arms Farley.
AS a member of the Italian delega-
ton to the Washington arms confer
ence last winter he played an import
ant part, in reeonciline divergent
views of the delegates at critical mo-
ments.
When that work was finished he en-
barked on a lecturing tour which car
ried him to the Pacific coast, and dur
ing which he addressed himself par
ticularly to Italian audiences, gener-
ally adjuring his hearers to become
good American citizens in fact as we'll
as in name.
In the course Of his speeches the
ambassador talked very frankly Of
Italy's financial condition and of hts
belief that obstacles to the repayment
of Italy's debt to the United States
would be interposed by the new. tariff
law and by unduly restrictive imml-
grafton laws. AS a result he received
an admonition from Secretary Hughes.

SOLF VISITS HARDING.
Ex-Aide Of Kaiser Talks of Estate
Secrets With President.

William Solf. minister of foreign
affairs under the German kaiser, and
recently appointed German ambassa-
dor to Japan, called at the White
House today to pay his respects to
President Harding. He was accom-
panied by DR.. Wiedfeldt, German am
bassador to this country.
Mr.. Solf said, upon leaving the
President, he took up several mat
tiers of Importance with him, which,
according to him, were state secrets"
He said, however. conditions in Ger
many had grown worse recently, due
to the rise OF the dollar and the de-
crease in the value of the mark. He
expects to sail from San Francisco
for Toxic on November 10.

fire department. The requests from
these other departments are not sub
mitted to school authorities for con-
sideration. Items suggested by the
school authorities must frequently
be eliminated to find appropriations.
Apparently items are placed on the
list directly by the repair shop, since
the school officials find ordinary re-
pair work in progress which has
never been recommended by them.
'In considering the checkered list Of
proposed repairs submitted by the
superintendent Of repairs. the super
intendent of schools finds himself in
the position of being compelled to
rely for the most part upon the judg-
shop" said DR.. Ballou. HE has no
one who can investigate requests for
repairs and advise him as to their
relative Importance.
Repair shop Groups.
Moreover. the repair shop, work
ing under orders Of the Comm ission-
ers. groups the repairs in classes Diff
ferent from those preferred by the
schools, and Is restrained by those
orders from exercising entire free
dom of judgment.
"Only q portion Of the requests for
repairs can be approved, due to the
lack of funds. Further. not all the
approved repairs are actually made.
"Eliminations of approved items are
made by the superintendent of repairs
when. as noted. the emergency re-
serve is sufficient, which is the
normal condition. Often there are
repairs not in the May or December
lists, and not strictly emergency mat
tiers, which become so important from
the point Of view Of the schools that
they must be included. In both these
cases the school authorities must rely
upon the the employees Of the shop
for selecting the necessary elimina-
tons. This situation has been greatly
aggravated recently by the necessity
for moving the portable school build
ings from one point to another point
Of greater congestion is high, and
hence very perceptibly depletes the
repair fund.
1.-THE net result Of this condition is
that the school authorities do not. at
any time, have any considerable
knowledge Of the exact situation
with respect to the repairs and i'm
provements to school buildings and
grounds No account are kept by the
schools; the estimated costs are
available. but actual costs are not
known. Whether any certain repair
list, cannot be foretold. One year
$4,000 was set aside by the repair
department to cover the cost of work
requested by the fire department Only
small fraction Of this work was
actually done. No school official ever
knew how or where this special re-
serve fund was actually spent"
