Capt. Honeywell made this state

sage to the race committee that
newspaper reports to the effect that
his balloon escaped without him from

De Muyter's message said he had
witnesses to prove that his balloon,
the Belgica. made its escape twenty
u IT hours after his first landing.
1T is true that De Muyter's bal

Coal Commission and Curb
ing of Protiteers.

rett Scores Note.
ADDRESS is COMMENDED

The Presidents address to Congress
on the strike situation was favorsbly
commented upon by republicans and
democrats alike last night. The lead
ers in the House and in the Senate
are expected to move as rapidly as
possible to carry out the recon-
nendations of the President for d
commission to investigate the coal
industry, and also to curb profiteer-
ing in coal.
Representative Mondell of Wyo-
ming, republican House leader, WITHIN
an hour after the President concluded
delivery of his address. had kilograms
on the wires to absent members OF
the House interstate committee. re-
questins them to return to Washing
ton at once to begin work on bills to
carry out the Presidents recon-
mendations for authorization to set
up an agency to purchase, sell and
distribute coal and tor creation of a
committee to ascertain the facts IN
the coal industry.
Early Action Planned.
The republican leader, accompanied
by Speaker Gillett, later visited the
White House and personally assured
the President that Legislation Great
ing the fact-findins commission would
probably passed by the House next
week. Senate leaders also promised
action on this piece of legislation.
While there will be opposition to
the Presidents plan to curb prices
of coal. practically amounting to
price fixing, the opinion last night
was that this legislation also would
go through. TO so before the
country without having done any
thing to prevent coal protiteering is
the last thing that some of the re-
publlcanS desire to do.
G. o. r. Leaders Laud President.
The determination of the Presi-
dent Ito use all the power of the
government to maintain tranSporta-
tion and sustain the right of men to
work" was almost universally ap-
proved by members of Congress. The
two republican leaders had this to
say:
Representative N1ondell The
President performed a real service in
reiteratlng the determination OF the
government TO assist in all lawful
ways the maintenance of order and
the preservation of the peoples
rights under the laws"
Senator LodSe-"in the enforce
ment of the law and the protection
OF all men who wish to work and
Of the rights of the American people
he VIII certainly have my most
earnest support and in my opinion
the hearty support of Congress and
OF the American people,
Garrett Raps Address.
Representative Garrett, the demo-
cratic House leader, said the Presi-
dents message was 80 complicated
and involved that it is impossible
to understand precisely what he,
means"
Senator Underwood, the democ1a attic
leader of the Senate, had no commera
to make, but Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, democratic member of the
interstate commerce committee, said
that Wh1le the announcement of gen.
eral principles might very well have
been deferred" he indorsed ..lhe
doctrine that both the railroad execu-
tlves and the employees must be

That the $4,000 appropriation for

evidenced by the fact that fewer

ers that he was unable during the
winter to treat the trees with lime

tied appropriation. During the fall

for projection from insects
Trimming Restricted.
., No systematic trimming of trees
was undertaken during the year, but
numerous individual requests for
trimming were complied with
There are great many old silver
maple trees in the downtown section
of the city and they should all be re-
moved and replaced with better va
rieties.' the superintendent stated
This work cannot be undertaken
with the present limited appropriation
without neglecting other important
work: The silver naples are fast
and as matter of
safety to the public many of them
should be severely trimmed and
topped off. This treatment will i'm
prove their general appearance and
prolong their lives"
Mr.. Lanham announced that all
trees west of 18th street and south of
Florida avenue will be trimmed dur
ing the present fiscal year.

CORONER TO INVESTIGATE
DEATH OF RICH MERCHANT
Authorities of La Sale, I'LL, Sus-
pect e. c. Zimmerman Was Muir
dered for His Money.

DETROIT, Mich. August 19.-The
coroner's staff today started an in
vestigation into the death of Edward
c. Zimmerman, wealthy merchant and
theater owner of La Sale. Ill. A
statement by a friend of Zimmerman
that the latter usually carried a
large sum of money and that only
s14 was found in his clothing led ,au-
thorities to the belief robbery might
have some connection with his death.
A physician who examined the body
yesterday said death was due to
heart disease.
Zimmerman's body was found in a
washroom at his hotel. The theory
was advanced that he might have
died in the exertion of a struggle
with bandit, or that he was robbed
after death.
In addition to the sum of money
reported missing, Zimmerman was
said to have possessed valuable jew
elry and mutual tickets worth sew
eral hundred dollars. The tickets
and jewelry had not been found to-
day.

considered in league of nations cir
cles, as shown in Geneva dispatches
to the Associated Press, were re-
ceived with much interest by news
papers here today, but there was no
inclination to believe that the Mexi-

overtures for admission to the league
President Obregon on his Inaugural

apply for membership in the league,
as he felt that an invitation would be
forthcoming when the government
had shown to the world that it was
worthy of such participation. The
administration has taken the stand
that it Is capable of responsible gov
ernment. and will ask no special
favors from any nation.
Newspaper sentiment throughout
the republic has been strongly
against entry into the league, even II
it were possible. various editors
pointing out that Mexico has nothing
TO gain and much to lose by the
foreign alliances implied in league
membership.
Popular sentiment here inclines
more toward the Pan-American al
lance, which was conceived by Car
