Washington, Jan. 27. - Senator Moses. republican, New Hampshire, again served na.!ce today that if the postal bill should be "mutilated by amendments" postal salary in- creases would be endangered.

 Senator Harrald. republican, Okla homa, offered an amendment limit ing the benefits to charitable and religious publications which did not pay more than s12,O0O year to their editors.

 Mir. Johnson said the country might be better off if majority of the writers or current editorials "did not exist at all."

ETHEL LEGINSKA
 REPORTED MISSING
Has Not Been Seen Since Last
 Evening

New York, Jan. 27.--Ethel Le- ginska, world famous English plan ist, conductor and composer, is the center of intensive search today, be- gun last night after her friends be- came alarmed when she failed to appear at a scheduled concert at Carnegie Hall, where a large au- dience awaited her. So deep was con- cern over her disappearance that po- lice were requested to send out g general alarm.
 Miss Ieginska's disappearance was reported by her secretary, Miss Lu- cile Oliver, who said that while she had gone to call taXicab, the noted pianist left her home unescorted. Search at Carnegie Hal and again al her home failed to reveal the where abouts of the pianist. In order not to disappoint the concert audience. Mieozysaw Inunz, just off the train from the Pacific coast, was pressed into service and gave the recital.
 Miss Oliver advanced the theory that Miss Leginska becoming impa- tient at waiting for the taXicab. had wandered off in a fit of ahsentmind- neSs. She was attired in evening dress and did not carry her purse.
 Miss Leginska recently conducted the New York Symphony orchestra, the first woman to conduct an or chestra concert of such importance in this country. Her appearance in such a role here followed q tour of Europe, where she made her debut as a conductor. She aroused interest in the musical world two months ago when she announced from Europe that she planned to stage an opera in which the singers would sit in the

 EnliVGn Many Dull Sessions

Geneva, Jan. 27. - When east meets east might be one of the sub titles given 10 the second opium con- terence here under the auspices of the league of nations. Throughout the sessions the by-play of Dr. Sze Chinese minister at Washington, and Councillor Sugimura of the Japa- ncsc embassy in Paris, has en- Iiyeued many a dull day of delibera- tion
 Sze speaks perfectly colloquial "American,' being a Cornell grad rate and a Phi Beta Kappa man to boot Sugimura, on the contrary, persists in speaking a very fiorid and grandiloqucnt kind of French. with frequent references 10 the great principles of the revolution" One day the two came to close grips on matter of restriction of the opium trade.
 Sze biazcd away in English, which SuEimura understands perfectly, but is hcsifant about speaking, Sugi- mura replied in French, which Sze understands very well but will not venture to use as a medium. Things looked dark. Tho official interpreter started 10 translate Sugimura. Then Szc arose:

 The laughter that followed helped to smooth over the moot point.

Eyes Of British Visitors Are
  Focused on U. s. Labor

London. Jan. 27.-The death of Samuel Gompers and the coincident return home of British visitors to the American Federation of Labor convention have served to focus many English eyes upon the living and working conditions and aspira- tions of organized labor in the United States.
 What most seemed to strike the British was Mir. Gompers' conserva- tism, his Tory-like intolerance of red radicaIism, and the stern way in which all his life he opposed, and with success, every effort to make of the American labor organization a unified political power, in the Euro- pean banner.
 Although every observer seems to agree that the American working man is better off in this worlds goods than his foreign counterparts, the labor situation overseas did not appear without bIemishes to A. E. Swales. chairman of the General Council of the Trades Union Con- gross, who recently returned from an official tour of the United States
 Mass production, gigantic com binations of employcs-trustS-and the ruthless oppression of large numbers of unorganized and ill- organized workers are features that strike the inquiring trade unionist from England" he wrote upon his return. Nevertheless, did notice that the American worker, in the main, is able to live properly and decently on what he receives in wages, in contrast to the dull drud- gery and semi-starvation of most of the workers in England.
 q asked a joiner from England, who had been in the United States for several years, if he would like 10 go back to the old country, and I received this reply: I would like to go back very much, but I could not live there as well and as con- fortably as I can here.'"
 MT. Swales cautions his country men against wholesale emigrations to the land where workers ride home to dinner in their 1iivvers in stead of having to cook a midday Ripper over glowing charcoal. In creased unemployment is, on the horizon in America, he thinks.
 "A significant factor" according to Mr. SwaIes, "is the many de- mands being made by employers for @ review of wage agreements, and for wage reductions in many indus tries. It is the usual method adopted, such as we have experi- enced in England these past few years, of cutting wages 10 maintain dividends and profits, when a fall in trade happens.
 'The American workers are pre- pared for the attack, and these at tempts will be met with stubborn resistance. British workers should be alert and watch developments in America. for any lowering in their standards will without a doubt have serious effect in this country. We must be ready and prepared to support our fellow-workers across the Atlantic"
 To the observant eyes of MT, Swales the American people look happier and more contented than do the people of England. He found a lack of despair in their faces, so often met with in industrial Eng land.
 still" he concluded, this was be- cause there was a greater demand for skilled and semi-skillcd labor than the supply" a demand which he believes will soon be on the ebb.

Washington, A years expert
ence with antiaircraft firing has
demonstrated that this form of fire
is more effective upon bombing planes
than that of other classes of artillery
against their normal targets" Maj.
Gen. Il. w. Coe chief of coast ar
tillery, asserted in his annual report
General Coe referred to the special
antiaircraft training ordered by the
War department and conducted at
Fort Tilden, N. Y, with the assistance
Of air personnel from Mitchell field,
with a view of determining the de-
gree Of efficiency which may be eX-
pected from antiaircraft guns and ma
chine gun fire against air targets"
The ability of searchlights operating
on data obtained by listening devices
to illuminate a target continuously
while in range of the guns formed a
part of the problem. General Goes
judgment as to the effectiveness to
be expected from antiaircraft bat
teries was based not only on this
special test but upon firings during
the year by other coast artillery units

Infant Death Rate Falls
Commenting on the report of work
done under the act, Grace Abbott, chief
of the children's bureau, said:
"EThe provisional figures for 1924 of
the vital statistics division of the
bureau Of the census indicates a sub
stantial drop in the infant death rate
for both urban and rural communities
in the United States birth registra-
ton area; but even with this improve
ment the infant death rate in the
United States Is higher than in Aus
tralia, the Netherlands, Norway, Swe-
den and the Irish Free State, and no
state in the United States birth regis
tration area has so low a rate as New
Zealand. 1t is quite evident, therefore,
that the United States cannot afford to
slacken its interest or reduce in any
way the intelligent expenditure of
funds to lower the death rate among
babies"

NOTED SECESSION
DOCUMENT FOUND
Hunted Ordinance Turns Up in
Sandusky, Ohio.

Sandusky, Ohio.-South Cardinals
ordinance of secession, missing almost
from the day of its adoption on De
cember 20, 1850, came to light here.
1t is in the temporary possession of
Common Pleas Judge William L.
Flesinger, who refuses to discuss it
except to say. that 1t has been an heir
loom in a Sandusky family for some
years and that, for the time being
at least, he can only admit that he
has it.
1t has become known here how
ever, that Congressman James T.
Begg of this city investigated at
Washington and reported that the
museums there told him the docu-
ment now in Judge Flesinger's hands
had been long sought but never
found.
The congressional library, Begg
said, has made repeated requests for
the loan or purchase of the ordi-
nance or a photograph copy of it.
After Lincoln was elected the South
OoAOil CdIlSu d SD0Cldl
session to vote upon secession. The
meeting was held in Columbia, S. c.,
December II, 1860, but adjourned to
Charleston because of a smallpox
epidemic in Columbia.
At Charleston the ordinance, de-
claring shat the union subsisting be-
tween South Carolina and other
states under the name, of the United
States of America is hereby dis
solved" was framed, approved and
signed.
Neatly hand-lettered in one corner
of the document is a statement to
the effect that 1t was found in the
house of Doctor Lamb, secretary of
state, along with other documents by
federal officers on March 3, 1865.
The document, which has been re-
ferred to as "the cause of the war
of the rebellion" is in a remark
ably good state Of preservation.
That some of the signers were
nervous when they signed is evil
denced by scrutiny of the approx
mately 200 signatures on the ordi-
nance.
