LUMBER INTERESTS GRABBING
PARK.

Without attracting any attention,
the worst raid on the National Park
system attempted for many years,
has been nearly consummated. Not
only have the conservation organi-
cations failed to give warning of it,
but Ito the secret delight and de-
rision of the promoters of the
scheme) many Of them have been
deceived into actively working for
the grab.
The Barbour Roosevelt Sequoia
Park Bill III. R. 7452), now before
Congress, contains concealed jokers
turning over to the U. S. Forest
Service the southern half of the
present Sequoia National Park and
also making in the proposed new
boundary Of the park bay Is miles
deep, extending into the heart of the
park so that numbering can be car
ried on exactly in the center of the
park, though legally outside it.
If these things are right, why are
they being done by concealed jokers
in bill entitled an act to s'add GER
tain lands" to the park?
Since the land to be added already
belongs to the public, why cannot il
be added without taking any part OF
the park away?
The Sequoia National Park, in
Southern California, 252 square
miles in area, was established in
1890 to preserve several fine tracts
of the primeval forests of California
the most remarkable in the world
for the extraordinary size and
beauty of their trees. It is the only
National Park Except the General
Grant Park, which is insignificantly
small and sadly mutilated by lun-
bering) whose express purpose was
to preserve some of these magnifi-
cent forests. For thirty-two years
it has protected them, but it is to dc
so no longer. The Barbour Bill

park, while adding much land most
ly of little value for park purposes
or for anything else. contains con-

conducted entirely for commercial
and utilitarian purposes, which car
legally, and may be expected to, sell
the greater portion of the trees for
lumber.
The public stands to gain only
what it has already. 1t stands to
lose the only two large tracts OF
forest of enormous sugar and yellow
pines (trees 200 feet tall and 200 to
500 or more years old) that the en-
tire National Park System contains,
as well as two of the four large
groves of sequoias that the present
park contains.

It is well that the people of vari-

anti-prohibition propaganda costs
Let US take the city of Baltimore fol

(wet), to 1,7S5 in 1920 dry. Per
haps in no city in the country has
prohibition been more misrepresent.
ed and abused in terms which con.
stitute an Indictment to violation oil
the law than in Baltimore. 1t is
not surprising therefore that in
1921, the figures show arrests fol-
drunkenness were nearly double the
figures of 1920, or to be exact 3,258
as compared with 1.7S5. Neverthe-
less the most persistent effort tc
hammer UP this rate to pre-prohi.
bition records utterly failed, as the
figure is still not half as high as fol
the last wet year, when the total
was 1852 (191S).

AIR
FLIGHT IN Z HOURS
Lieut.. Crocker Sets New
World Record for One
Man Plane.

BY the Associated Press.
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, May &C.
1t is just a daylight journey from the
Gulf of Mexico to Canada.
Lieut.. Harrison G. Crocker of Kelly
Field, San Antonio, Tex, proved this
today when without a stop he drove
a specially built De Haviland plane
from Ellington Field, at Houston,
Tex, to Selfridge Field. near here, in
eleven hours and fifty-four minutes
The distance. measured in time, be-
tween the gulf and Canada is less
than that, for Lieut.. Crocker swung
over Canadian soil at the mouth of
the Detroit river just eleven hours
and twenty-nine minutes after he
hoped off Ellington Field at 5:21
o'clock, central standard time, this
morning.
Incidentally, he set new flying
record, being the first birdman to
make such a distance at one hop
while travelling alone.
Flies Near Ground.
Lieut. Crocker's victory was won
against odds probably as great as any
airman ever encountered. During 500
of the 1,4O0 miles of his journey his
highest altitude was 500 feet and dur
ing a large part of the 500 it was as
low as 100 feet, due to clouds.
Between the Texas-Louisiana' bor-
der and Defiance, Ohio, he encounter
ed twenty-nine distinct storms. AS
he entered the storm area the flyer
was forced nearer and nearer the
earth, finally flying as low as 100 feet
in order to observe land marks and
thus keep on his course. Seeing a
group of tall trees looming direct
ly in his path Lieut.. Crocker caused
his plane to shoot rapidly into the
skies. 1t was necessary for him to
attain an altitude of 5000 feet be-
fore he could see the sun.
He drove for an hour by compass.
Only once during 500 miles of
struggle against storms did the
planes engine falter. 1t sputtered
and threatened to die in the. midst of
a terrific electrical disturbance over

SUSPECT CARRANzA
LEADER IN BOMBING
Mexican Police Believe
Man Has Fled Over
American Border.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, May 26.-The bomb
ing of the American consulate here
in the early morning hours of May
lS is attributed. according to an ar
ticie printed by the Grafico, to
prominent follower of Gen. Pablo
Gonzales former commander of the
Carranza forces. The name of the
bomber is withheld by the police N
the hope that they may be able to
arrest him if he has not crossed into
the United States.
Inspector of Police Pedro Alma6a
has had conference with President
Obregon and has handed over to the
president documents seized by the po-
lice in raid on a hotel where the
alleged bomber lived. The clue was
given to the police by prominent
doctor in Mexico City, whose name
also is withheld
The doctor, says the Grafico. asserts
that on the night of May 17-lS he
met a man who had been his life
long friend and accompanied him to
the American consulate. The man
descended from the automobile and
pushed open THE consulate door.
which was unlocked, remaining for
several minutes within the building.
The next day the doctor read reports
of the outrage, and, knowing that his
friend was an enemy of the present
administration, notified the police of
the occurrence.
Investigation followed, but the man
had made his escape from the city.
After chase as far as Guadalajara
the police gave up the pursuit in the
belief that he had embarked for the
United States by way of Manzanillo.
Orders, however. have been sent to
the border to keep a careful watch
in the possible event that the man is
still in the country.

GERMANY TO RAISE
PREPARATION OFFER
Forthcoming Note to Tender
$4,000, 100000 Gold
Marks to Allies.
By Cable to The Star.

BY CaDle 10 Inc star.
BERLIN, May 26.-While, accord
ing to authoritative information. dis
patch of Germany's forthcoming
reparations note will not take place
before the end of next week, it is
possible to give today broad out
lines OF the Cuno governments pro-
posed new settlement offer.
AS in the case of the last offer
which Chancellor Cuno and Foreign
Minister Won Rosenberg agreed to
present only after strong political
pressure. both at home and from
abroad. had been brought to bear
npensthem,>the chancellor and for
eign minister have been compelled
to abandon their initial determine
tion not to raise Germany's settle
ment bid above the sum of 10000, ,00o.-
900 gold marks, and now they will
acquiesce in a proposal which, though
elastic and open to modification
through negotiations, approaches
closer to the Bonar Law plan SUBJ
mitted at Paris
Acceptance Doubted.
Germany now intends to offer 50,o00,-
100000 gold marks as reparation
total. Taking into consideration
Frances rejection of Bonar Laws
plan last January. there is. however.
little hope that this offer Will be ac-
ceptable at Paris. What Germany hopes
to achieve Is rather a continuation of
reparation discussions.
This is made especially clear by the
fact that the 50,O00,0 100000 offer is
intended only to serve as the basis
for negotiations, and that the new plan
will leave the final total to the de-
termination of a commission of ex-
perts.
This commission, according to the
German proposal, would be appointed
by the reparation committee with the
proviso that Germany must be repre-
sented on it. Its task would be to de-
termine Germany's capacity to pay
together with ways and means whereby
her paying capacity can be strength
ened.
Loan Plan Dropped.
The recent proposal for a series of
ering reparation payments will be
abandoned, and Germany instead will
undertake to raise the reparation pay
ments out of the country's own re-
sources. This, however, will be made
contingent upon the granting of a
five-year moratorium.
The total sum finally agreed upon
is to be made payable in thirty-five
years, or thereabouts, on the basis
of regular installment payments. AS

And while the progressives have not
