In prison. AT their trial, which took
place recently in Sofia, however, they
were acquitted, and evidence leading to
the real slayers was found. 1t became
known that Mr. Ageyeff's friendship
with the Bolsheviki was fictitious and
t1at he acted as Kerensky's secret
agent, spying on the BoIsheylki In Bull

role and organized his assassination.
The same role was played by General

ASK FUND TO BREAK
RUBBER MONOPOLY
Secretaries Hoover and Wal
lace TelE House Commit
tee Britain Rules.
ny international News Service.

Confronted with the unpleasant
fact that Great Britain is in abso-
lutte control of the worlds crude
rubber supply and is exacting
heavy toll from American con-
Surners, the Government will short
~ undertake an investigation by
experts into the possibilities of de-
veioping homegrown rubber in the
United States and its territories.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover
and Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace both informed the House Ap.
preparations Committee yesterday
they considered such a govern.
mental step necessary as a matter
Of self-protection.
ASK $4,000 FUND.
They believe it possible, they
told the committee, to develop a
growth OF rubber trees in eight or
ten years. This would free the
United States from domination by
Great Britain. The investigation
Secretary Wallace urges, also
should Include fertilizer nitrates
and sisal for binding twines. The
latter is grown now in Yucatan,
Mexico.
The Secretaries suggested an an
preparation Of 100000, but this
amount will be cut probably by
the House Appropriations Committee.
RUBBER USERS WILL AID.
1.-THE investigation should cover
rubber production In Latin Amer.
lea and the Philippines, together
with the probabilities of extended
production in other countries" Sec
refaTV Hoover said tGr,nk, r,,au
tons as comparative costs, avail.
able land, rubber supplies, laws,
taxation, transportation facilities,
etc, will be investigated. Large
American rubber manufacturers
have expressed their willingness to
enter upon production Of rubber
and have strongly urged that this
Investigation be made at once.
While there is ample supply of
rubber for present purposes, the in.
croasing demand in the United
States will necessitate an increased
production Of approximately SO per
cent in the next ten years.

SUFFRAGE ISSUE
Monday Evening Members
Sponsoring Discussion on
z Proposals for Spokesman
SET FOR TOMORROW NIGHT
E. C. Brandenburg, of Trade
Board, to Argue Affirma-
tive, and Shaw Negative

"Should the Residents of Wash
ington be Enfranchised,' will be
the subject of a debate to be
staged tomorrow night at the
Cosmos Club under the auspices
Of the Monday Evening Club. =.
Brandenburg, of the Washington
Board of Trade, will take the af-
4rmative side, while Leslie M.
Shaw, former Secretary of the
treasury and governor of Iowa,
the negative.
WOULD LEVEL STATUS.
Not only will Mr.. Brandenburg
urge that the District be given a
Delegate in the House of Repre-
sentatives. but that Congress also,
through constitutional amendment.
give Washington residents the same
status of citizens of the States.
Governor Shaw will point out
that the people of Washington
should consider themselves fortu.
nate in that they are spared the
task of e1fgovernment.
In the Districts fight for suf-
ffage and representation : in Con-
gfess, two proposals have been
nnade-one being that Washington
have the status of a Territory with
a nonvoting Delegate in the House.
FEARED AS HINDRANCE.
Many of the advocates of this
proposal are behind the suggestion
because they believe it a step to.
