5000 Tons Less of
Food As Garbage

Has Washington gone on a diet.
or are housewives more careful in
handling food ?
These questions were suggested
today by the annual report of Nor
ris Hacker, supervisor of city ref
use, which showed that the volume
of garbage collected from house
holds last year was 5000 tons less
than in the preceding twelve
months. For the fiscal year 1923
garbage was collected to the amount
of S0.014 tons. For the fiscal year
1924 it was only 1909 tons.
Supt. Hacker reported that he
turned back to the Treasury $302,-
642 derived from the salvaging Of
. garbage grease and trash. The
grease extracted from the garbage
sold for $196.630. Paper, bottles
and tin cans gathered up on the
dump brought $1o1.741. Smaller
sums were raised from other
sources. The total cost of collect
ing and disposing of all city refuse
was 1921 1885. so that the net cost,
after deducting proceeds from SAL
wage, was $518.5241s.
IT cost the city $131,5S9 to collect
ashes last Winter. Much of this
material was used as a temporary
surface on new streets pending the
appropriation of money to pave
them.

TELLS OF COLUMBUS.
Captain of Carnegie Describes
~'-- Compass Terrors.~

An interesting story Of Columbus
was told to the George Washington
students by James P. Au1t, captain of
the non-magnetic ship, Carnegie. in a
lecture yesterday. He said that as
Columbus ship proceeded westward
the ships compass detected more and
more from the polar star This caused
new terror in the hearts of the al
ready fear-stricken sailors. Since
magnetic reflections were unknown
at that time, Columbus himself could
not understand the reasons for the
behavior OF the compass. However,
with the dominant courage of heart
that knew no fear, he fixed the COM
pass so that 1t would point again to
the polar star and told the crew that
the compass was all right, but that
the star had moved out of it's usual
place in the sky, thus quelling their
fears.
A moving picture of the voyage of
1918 and 1915 on the Carnegie was
shown to give the students an idea
of the manner in which the work on
board is carried out and to give them
some interesting views of the south
polar regions.

Senator La Follette's name will b.

recting the Senator's campaign, wrote
to Mr.. Butler that attention had beer
called to press reports that La Fol
lette supporters is Wisconsin might
force President Coolidge to run as
an independent there.
Not Resorting to Trickery.
Il beg to assure you that there is
no basis whatever for such state
ments," he said. THE Wisconsin pro-
gressives have never resorted to
sharp political practices, and will not
do so now.
While the action of the Republi-
can State platform convention OF
Wisconsin will be under the control
of majority of it's members, L feel
sured that the electors whom they
will place on the Republican ticket
will be stalwart Coolidge men,"
La Toilette Holds Back.
Senator La Toilette is planning tC
let President Coolidge and John w
Davis, the Democratic presidential
nominee. lead off in the campaigning
He intends to reserve further com
ment on issues until both have dis
cussed them publicly, and then, later
in the campaign, to state his position
with vigor.
This strategy meets with the ap-
proval of La Follette's advisers, who
his decision to forego the customary
notification ceremony which occa-
sions a speech from the nominee.
La Toilette, it was added, will be
able to sit back in silence while
Mr.. Davis, in accepting the Demo
Clarksburg, w. Va, next Monday,
discloses his position on various polit-
ical and economic questions, and
President Coolidge, later in the week,
in a similar address here, discusses
what he considers the pressing issues
of the campaign and how he thinks
they should be handled.
Has Plenty Time.
Even after both of his opponents
intends to hold peace for a while. He
will have plenty of time during Sep
tember and October, his advisers be-
lieve, to challenge the Republican and
Democratic parties and their nomi-
nees, and can best conduct a spirited
and effective campaign by holding
back his ammunition.
Just what part the American Fed
Grafton of Labor will take in the La
Toilette campaign activities has not
been determined. Advisers of the SEN
ator here predicted that undoubtedly
the federation would work for the
succetSS of the ticket on its own be-
half, and would show Willingness to
cooperate with other organizations
supporting the La Follette-WheeleI
candidates. in an appeal for votes.
One place on the committee which is
directing the La Toilette campaign
remains to be filed. There were some
indicatio that the Federation OF
Labor might be asked to fill this va
cancy by the appointment of one of
its officials, but no decision has been
reached on this point.

BELIEVE ROBBERY MOTIVE.
Mexican Officials Express Opinion
Agrarian Troubles Not Cause.

By the Associs ted Press
MEXICO CITY, August 5.-The be-
lief of the Mexican government that
robbery was the principal motive for
the killing of Mrs Rosalie Evans, the
British subject, who was shot to
death from ambush near Texmelucan
saturday night, was reiterated in an
official foreign Office bulletin relative
to the case issued late last evening
Officials had previously expressed
their disbelief that the crime was the
result of the agrarian agitation which
aimed at forcing Mrs. Evans to con-
sent to the division of her hacienda
the legal proceedings in which had
become an incident between the Mex
lean and British governments, al
though this possibility is conceded.
The foreign Office bulletin echoes
the expressions of President Obregon
In calling attention to the energy
with which the fedora! and state au-
thorities are pushing the inquiry into
the case and endeavoring to run down
the assassins, and continues:
''The circumstances surrounding
the crime give rise to the opinion that
the principal motive was robbery.
Nevertheless, the fact that the name
of Mrs. Evans had been connected
with recent international incidents
causes the supposition that the pres
ent case might also be connected
with the discussion of the agrarian
question regarding the property of
the victim, although the government
is confident the Investigations ini-
tiated will demonstrate that the
present lamentable case is the result
of an ordinary crime such as unfor-
tunately are frequently committed in
all parts of the world"
Gen. Saenz, minister of foreign re-
lations, added unofficially he had been
informed that Mrs Evans had made
all plans for her funeral more than
a week previous to her death.

HOOVER interference
Tariff Commissioner Says La Fol

Sugar Duty Charge.
By the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSBURG

By the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSTOWN,M Mass. August 5.
Secretary Hoover never in any way
tried to exert influence upon William
S. Culbertson, vice chairman of the
Tariff Commission, said Mr.. Culbert-
son today. He is attending the In
stitute of Politics here and was COM
menting upon the reported charge by
Senator La Toilette that the Secretary
of Commerce had sought to influence
the commissioner with regard to
sugar duties.
Senator La Toilette" said Mr.. Gull
bertson, lis reported to have said that
Secretary Hoover brought pressure
upon me to change my views as a
tariff commissioner upon the sugar
duties cannot believe that the
Senator was reported correctly but if
he made such a statement it was
based on information which is abso-
lutely false. Mr.. Hoover has never in
any way tried to exert influence upon
me.
mo one has been a more sympa-
thetic supporter of scientific tariff
making than Mr.. Hoover, and it is
absurd to suggest that he would seek
by personal or political influence to
interfere with the judicial application
of the law No denial of the charge
accredited to Senator La Toilette
should be necessary to the American
public, which has come to know and
to rely upon the high standard of
public morality which guides the
Secretary of Commerce in all his
acts"
