AT VETERAN BUREAU
Clerks Follow Advice of Officials
After Exposure Case
& Is Discovered.

About 1000 employees of the United
States Veterans Bureau were vac
cinated against smallpox yesterday
following recommendation by officials
that it would be advisable. and free
vaccination would be provided by the
bureau for those who wished it.
Six physicians were kept busy in
q specially fitted office, taking care OF
those who presented themselves. The
line at times extended outside of the
Office door and down the long cor.
ridor of the Arlington Building.
The recommendation by the deputy
director. Col. William H. Conklin, that
employees should be vaccinated in view
of the situation now existing in Wash
ington, and in view of exposure of one
bureau clerk to a case of smallpox
at home was received with enthusiasm
by the personnel. 1t was predicted
by some officials last night that most
of the employees, numbering between
5000 and 5000 would probably pre-
sent themselves for vaccination within
the next few days.

RIVERA is CONFIDENT
OF MOROCCO SUCCESS
Spanish Dictator, However, Has No
Intention of Attempting to Con-
quer Whole Country.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 25.-The French jour
nalists and brothers, Jean and Jerome
Tharaud. who recently interviewed
King Alphonso of Spain, today print
in the Paris Midi an interview with
Gen. Primo de Rivera head of the
Spanish military directorate. The op-
timism and serenity of de Rivera were
most impressive, the interviewers
said. When questioned about his
difficulties. he replied:
Nothing is difficult. Difficulties do
not exist"
The Tharauds expressed the opinion
that the dictators optimism is mot
of the made-to-order kind" 1T is the
optimism of bold gambler who
knows he Is lucky" they said.
De Rivera said, according TO the
interview, that it is impossible for
Spain to occupy Morocco by military
force. He said 900 men would be
required to hold the territory and that
the sacrifice would be too great for
Spain.
Discussing the changes following
Spain's withdrawal in Morocco he
said: 1T is now we who are harass-
ing the enemy. Our avtators are
bombarding his markets and villages.
Our patrols are carrying off his har-
vests and cattle. Add El-Krim is
finding II difficult to maintain obedi-
ence among the tribes. The ammuni-
ton abandoned by the Spanish is
now commencing to be exhausted.
We expect to recapture Alhucemas
soon and then TO limit our military
effort to a rectification of the line.
However. l have no intention to
recommence conquest OF Morocco.
That would be an insane enterprise" "
De Rivera said that the Spanish
army now forms a solid block in
which there are no tuntas and where
everybody obeys his superior.

CHICAGO, April 25.-Leading fur
niture manufacturers of the United
States are charged with combining
to boost prices and monopoliZe the
trade, in a Federal grand jury inves-
tigation here. Books. sales records and
cost accounts of $50 furniture manu-
factureres were ordered seized on sub

The grand jury action is based on
the result of secret investigation COW
ering several months by Roger c.
Shale of Washington, special assistant
attorney general, and operatives OF
his staff. This investigation disclosed,
according to Federal officers, that fur
niture prices as set by the combine
are, in many instances, two or three
times as great as a just profit based
on cost and operating expenses would
warrant.
The combination is said to have
operated in the form of a closed cor,
poration, holding secret meetings al
which costs and prices were juggled
Prices, it is charged, were fixed for
the entire industry and any indepen

CAMPAIGN ISSUE
DIVIDES VIRGINIA
Constitutional Convention Is
Slightly Favored in
Straw Ballot.
Special Dispatch to Tho Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va. April 25.-A
straw vote being conducted by a news
paper here shows that sentiment is
almost evenly divided on the cam
paign question of having a constitu-
tional convention, with the trend
favoring such a movement. The eX-
listing constitution has been found
cumbersome, and it is generally ad-
mitted that in the last 25 year the
instrument has been so materially
changed as to make it little more
than a patchwork"
A change in the manner and time
FOR the payment of poll taxes is be.
ing demanded. At this time the tax
Is not collectable until 1t is three
years past due. In other words, be-
fore the State can enforce payment the
voter must have failed to pay his
taxes for three years. The demand
now is that this shall be changed and
that the. poll tax shall be charged
up and collected as are other taxes.
This would result in placing half q
million dollars more into the treasury
every year. There is now due the
State about ss7S, 900 in unpaid poll
taxes. Then. too. 1t is desired that
the taxes shall be made payable not
more than three months before an
SleCllOn IS 10 De nSlu-
Return to Appointments.
One hears a good deal at this time
regarding the return to the old sys-
tenn of having the governor appoint
the members of the State corpora
tion commission. This was the
method provided when the constitu-
ton was adopted, but it was changed
several years ago for reasons that
were well known at the time-that
Judge William T. Rhea TO succeed
himself. The constitution permitted
this change, and II was changed just
at the time to make il possible for
the people to elect Judge Rhea. The
claim now is that as the members are
quasi-judicial in their duties. the best
results can be obtained by having
them appointed by the governor.
The selection of a design for the
memorial to the Virginia soldiers who
fell in the World War is still before
the people. The various types have
been reviewed, and there is a grow
ing sentiment for the construction of
a carlton in one of the parks of the
city, this to be sounded at such times
as may be designated, with a concert
at the close of each day, to be con-
cluded with taps" at sunset Artists
from all parts of the State are coming
out for this type for the memorial a.,
as 1t will be possible for the people
in every section to hear the bells by
means of the radio The commission
soon will meet to make a selection of
design.

Vice Chairman PIummer of
Ship Board Makes Plea
in Radio Talk.

An appeal for maintenance OF the
American coastwise laws, which pro-
vide that only United States vessels
may engage in commerce between
United States ports, was made IN q.
radio address last night by Vice
Chairman Plummer of the Shipping
Board.
The question was important, Mr..
Plummer asserted, because zone of
the avowed purposes" of the third
biennial conference of the Interna-
ttonal Chamber of Commerce at
Brussels in June is 'to induce the
United States TO abandon its cen
tury-old policy and throw open Amer
lean coastwise trade to foreign ships.
The International chamber. accord
ing TO its program, will consider a
resolution dealing with flag discrim-
ination. As understood in Shipping
Board circles, the resolution will urge
extension of the policy of true equal
ity OF treatment of vessels" under
whatever flag to domestic commerce.
Whatever action the chamber may
take, it is understood, it will carry no
mandatory authority, but will consti-
| tute only an expression of interna-
tional policy. The meeting will be
attended by representatives of various
American organizations, and spokes-
men for the American Steamship
Owners Association, among these are
understood to be prepared to oppose
