PHILADELPHIA, July sl.--
Hello, Marsl This is the Earth
announcing. +
August ~ win be an exceptional
" favorable time for the worlds
most powerful hroadcaating stations
70 attempt to send such message
to the neighbor planet, according
70 Doctor David Todd, emeritus
professor Of astronomy at Amherst
College, who now IL living at West
Chester.
August % Mars win be only a
mere 35,00O,000 miles distant from
the earth. instead OF 100.00p,0O to
zoo, 100000 miles. as ID more usual.
Not Tor five centuries will there
be another opportunity physically
20 favorable, says Doctor Todd, to
try to radio messages to Mars or to
listen for wireless communication
from the EMartians.
But are there any Inhabitants
on Mars to send or receive wireless
messages?
Speculation.
.'That life on Mars Isl possible is
q virtual certainty, In the opinion
OF some noted biologists" says
Doctor Todd. He adds, however,
TO the astronomer the question
Of the existence Of life on Mars Ia
simply speculation.
Doctor Todd thinks, however,
that It would be an excellent idea
to have all the radio outfits in the
United States except enc cease
sending on night shortly before
4 NsoAfr
station q chance to send forth 4
2e attempt viii be made to enter
into communication with Mars.
Then, for the night Of August %,
Doctor Todd suggests that all radio
sending cease and that all the world
listen for a response from the sis
ter planet.
He thinks a particularly good
plan would be to send the Shenan-
doah up 10000 feet on August %
and let its radio operators listen Tor
q message from Mars.
But Doctor Samuel G. Barton, d.
rector pro tenn Of the Flower OBJ
servatory of the University Of
Pennsylvania, shook his head when
asked If it's likely there are intelli-
gent beings on Mars.
Probable Life on Venus.
ION Mars, probably no; on
Venus, perhaps yes" was his
answer.
There Is 30 little density to the
air on Mars added Doctor Barton.
$50 little moisture there, that while.
L is possible there is vegetable life
on that planet, IL any other organic
llfe exists. probably it is Of simpler,
lower forms, rather than intelligent
beings.
However, conditions on Venus
IRE far more like those on this
earth than on Mars. There is much
more chance intelligent beings exist
on. Venus than on Mars"
Then Professor Barton broughts
out excerpts from a recent Lowell
Institute lecture by Doctor Harlow
Shapley, director OF the Harvard
Observatory, expressing this same
opinion that existence of intelligent
beings on Mars is highly improba-
BILE, but existence Of such ceratures
on Venus not impossible.

Senate Votes, rs to 2, to
Reject Recognition Of

ANSWER TO HANIHARA
To Press for Adoption
Tuesday Japanese Ex-
clusion Amendment.

Washington, ID. c., April 15.-
Pressing for adoption today of a
Japanese exclusion amendment TO the
pending immigration bill, the Senate
late yesterday gave emphatic answer
TO Ambassador Hanihara's vigorous
protest by voting, 76 to 2, TO reject
a proposal that would have recog-
nized the "gentlemen's agreement"
President Coolidge's intentions with
reference to the bill wnen it reaches
him, have not been made known. The
administration has opposed japanese
exclusion legislation consistently here
tofore, and the "gentlemen's agree
ment" amendment rejected yesterday
was drafted by the Senate immigra-
ton committee. to meet, in some
measure, its objections. Republican
leaders, however, said privately they
thought the executive would sign the
measure.
Hughes at White House.
Secretary Hughes called at the
White House while the Senate was
discussing the committee amendment
and the ambassadors action but no
intimation was given as to the sub
ject or substance of his conferences
with the President. ~ $3.50.
Many Senate leaders had predicted
that an Exclusion provision would be
adopted despite the administration
stand and that sufficient votes would
be able to override a possible veto,
but the overwhelming count against
the amendment yesterday was clear
" a result of the Hanihara protest.
Among the votes changed from sup
port of the amendment by the pro-
test. which was described as a "veiled
threat" were those of Senator Lodge.
Massachusetts. Republican leader and
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, and Senator Reed, Re
publican. Pennsylvania, who has
charge Of the immigration bill on the
floor. tf-
Senator Reed announced during the
discussion that an exclusion amend
ment similar to the provision lncor-
porated in the bill passed by the
House, would be drafted for presenta-
ton today reducing the probabilities
of lonc-drawn out negotiations when
the Senate and House measures are
taken into conference to adjust diff
ferences.
With conclusion of the japanese
exclusion discussion a number OF
amendments proposing changes in the
quota basis must be considered.
Senator Reed plans, however, to
move Wednesday to limit debate II

Toxic. April 15.--The action OF
Congress in abrogating the gentle
mans agreement" between the United
States and Japan struck with force of
q bomb she'll here causing great agita-
ton among government officials and
public leaders. Whereas several weeks
ago it was believed that the House OF
Representatives would not pass the
mcasufe including the restrictive
clause. che recent increased agitation
on the part of the proponents of the
measure resulted in the general 'expec-
tation here that the Lower House
would vote approval. However. hone
that the Senate would eliminate the
exclusion clause was persistently
maintained.
Foreign office officials declared that
the government is not planning any ac-
ton whatsoever. However. they adj
mitted their inability to control pub
lie thought and stem the possible tide
Of national resentment.
Hsnibara's Words Ambiguous.
Ambassador Hanihara's use of the
words grave consequences" is regard
ed as unfortunate because of ambi-
guilty. However. officials believe that
the diplomat meant only circum-
stances over which Toxic government
has no control. 1t is not believed
here that the ambassador meant to
convey the possibility of rupture
between the two governments.
Baron Sakatani. president of the
Japan-American Society, and Wis
count Shibusawa. leader in the move
to foster amicable relations between
the two countries, expressed deep re-
grets over the action of Congress and
pointed out the great desire of Japan
to continue in close cooperation with
the United States. They declare that
the problem is question OF nationa
honor and prestige with Japan and
they call upon friends of international
harmony to assist in solving the prob
lem.

suit Of the legislation despite the
neutrality of the government.
Thus while the present official sit
uation remains unchanged. the future
results are liable to work a disadvan-
tage upon America throughout the

Mayor J. G. Grant this week re- ceived a cablegram from George Ha. zlet, chairman of the Harding Me morial Association for Alaska, stating that the drive would posi- lively close on March 1.
 It is greatly to be desired that Wrangell shall be as well represented as other towns of same size through out Alaska. Thus far those who have put their names on the lists have contributed literally, but the total number of contributors thus far is small. What is desired more than else is that Wrangell shall be we'll represented in numbers, and any contribution, no matter how small is perfectly acceptable.
 Let there be a large number of names added to the lists before they are called in on March 1.

STORK BRINGS EIGHT
 BABIES IN FIVE TRIPS

CHICAGO-Observations by MT. and Mrs. J. S. Hauswirth, of 163S lSummerdale avenue, convince them that Old Man Stork's batting average puts him in the Babe Ruth class Here's his record at the Hauswirth home
 Three singles. One double.
 One triple.
 The three singles they didn't mind.
 They are anti-Sanger. They love children. And they are optimists. But, as MT Hauswirth points out, they are only one couple and they have merely a private home, not a hotel or boarding house. Old Man Stork began conserva tively-the three singles being reg istered in three consecutive years and MT. Hauswirth was entirely sat isfied And then, year ago, he came through with the double.
 After they had purchased a twin baby carriage and added twin cribs to the nursery they talked it over and decided Old Man Stork had sim ply committed an oversight or had mislaid a customers order. Anyway, he was forgiven. And with Christmas in the offing, the rent due in seven days, and every thing came the trio. The triplets are fine and healthy and the mother is doing well.

REV. v. t. TALON
GOES TO NEW YORK
Georgetown Dean Will Be
Succeeded Soon by Rev.
l. J. Gallagher.

After two years at Georgetown Uni
versity as dean of the department of
arts and sciences. Rev. William I.
Tallon. S. j.. has been transferred 10
New York City, where he is acting
as secretary to the Jesuit provincial
CT the New York Maryland province.
Father Talon will be succeeded at
Georgetown College by Rev. Louis
j. Gallagher, who has been proni.
rcntly connected with some of the
leading Jesuit colleges in the East.
The new dean is only 81 years old
and is one of the youngest college
deans in the country.
Georgetown College will open it's
792425 scholastic term on Septem-
Der 16, but owing to the fact that
he is engaged on special mission,
Father Gallagher will not b, able
TO assume office for at least two
months. In the meantime, Rev. Ed
mund a. Walsh, S. J., regent of the
Foreign Service School, will act also
as dean of the college
No definite word as yet las been
received at Georgetown as to the
successor of President John Il. free
den, S. J.. who will retire this year
after d successful administration of
seven years. 1t is probable tha
Father Creeden will continue in o:Ice
until after the entire university Ie-
opens.
The transfer of Father Talon was
cutie unexpected, but as the New
York Maryland provincial has direct
charge over the Jesuit colleges in
The East, Father Talon will be Il
frequent visitor at Georgetown dur
ing the coming year. He assumed his
new duties some time ago, but an
nounccment of the change was not
made until his successor had been
named.
Father Gallagher has been in
Europe during the past two years,
one year of which he was associated
with Father Walsh in his Russian
relief work. The other year he
spent studying at various European
universities.
AS a former faculty director of
athletics at Fordham, Father Gala
CHER probably will take an active
hand in athletics at the Hilltop,
though there will be no change in
the present policy. Before leaving
for Europe. he was dean of the
College of st. Francis Xavier in New
York City at the age of 81 years.
He made a splendid record at that
institution.
Word also was received at George
town during the past week of the
recent death of Judge Charles Am
broSe De Courcey, justice of the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts,, who
WAS Il regent of the university. Judge |
Dc Courcey was one of the most |
prominent alumni of Georgetown and |
his death necessitates the appoint |
mont of a successor on the board of /
regents.
