will continue their policy, and in a
few years will demand another am
nesty.
Not satisfied with this special priv
ilege, the ship owners ask that they,
together with foreign vessels, be eX-
empt from paying the expense Of sea-
men placed in hospitals because of
contagious disease.
Under the La Toilette seamen's law
ship owners must pay this hospital
cost, as do ship owners of every other
maritime nation. The American ship
owners resisted the law and were rec
emily defeated in the United States
supreme court when this section of
the seamen's law was upheld. Now
the American ship owners have in
serted a joker in the so-called ode
portation" bill which will relieve them
of this cost. 1t will also relieve for
eign ship owners from the laws OF
their own nations, which compel them
to pay hospital costs and the cost of
returning afflicted seamen to their
own country.
This plea for themselves and for
foreign ships sustains the organized
seamen's charge that American ship
owners are a part of the internation-
al shipping trust.
The so-called deportation" bill is
one of the most daring demands ever
made by American ship owners.

Mexican Land Laws
Claimed to Be Just

Washington, D. C.-The Mexican
the Mexican land and oil laws that
has been prepared by Senor Saenz,
secretary of foreign affairs at Mex
leo City.
This law provides that Mexico will
control mineral lands in certain cases,
and that foreign capitalists shall be
under jurisdiction of Mexican courts.
The American government claims
that certain features of the laws are
retroactive and confiscatory.
Defending the right of Mexico to
pass such legislation, Senor Saenz
said that the "policy of the Mexican
government was more liberal than
that of the United States" He said
that by means of immigration laws
foreigners were practically barred
from establishing themselves in this
country, in a great part of which res
idence is required as a condition to
the acquisition of real property.
Laws similar to the provisions con-
tanned in the organic law of Mexico,
he declared, have been enacted in
Arizona and Illinois,
Arizona, he said, passed a law IN
1913, under which only American cit
izens, or those declaring their inten-
tion to become naturalzed, are per
mitted to acquire real property, and
in Illinois "there exist similar provi-
sions, but with greater restrictions,
this law only granting a period of
five years in which foreigners must
dispose of the properties which they
have, and if they fail to do so their
lands will be confiscated to the bene-
fit of the state of Illinois,"

tree, around which will center the
community celebration Friday aft

city yesterday and will be put in
place at the intersection of Second

Quail Ranch by employees of the
city engineers office.
Present plans for the celebration
include singing of Christmas carols
by massed choir from the city's
churches, music by the recenely
organized high school band and
other features. Definite details of
the program have not been work
ed out and it was said last night

Frank Smith Will
Accept Senate Seat
Continued from Page y

ing committee submits recommen
dations in the case.
Senator Ashurst argues that fur
ther investigation is not necessary
as his committee uncovered suffi-
.cient grounds for denying Smith a
seat by disclosing the $125.000 In
sull contribution to his campaign
fund.
While favoring speedy action,
Senator Watson, Republican, Indi-
ana, is prepared to oppose the Ash
urst resolution which he claims
would be denial of states rights.
Watson Outlines Custer.
THE Senate is obliged to accept
his credentials and let him take the
oath, but as soon as he takes the
oath he should be elected from the
Senate" Senator Watson said to-
day.
Other Senators are known to
favor a milder course by permitting
the case to take the usual course,
and refer it to the Senate elections
committee for investigation after
the appointee has been sworn in.
Among these is Senator Wads-
worth, Republican, New York, who
inquired: what is this Senate
coming to, anyway? l am opposed
to throwing him out without an
investigation in the usual way
Why, even murderer is entitled
to hearing"
Senator Deneen, Republican, IL
linois, refused to believe the re-
port that Mr.. Smith had accepted
the appointment, and declined to
say what his position would be. 1t
has been indicated, however, that
he would lead the fight for Smith.
One prominent Senate leader de-
clared today there would not be
three speeches made in the Senate
in favor of Smith being allowed to
serve out the appointment.
If the Senate should vote for
election, Mr.. Smith would return
after March by right of his cleo
ton last November to the seventh
eth congress and the fight would
be renewed at the first session, oil
the next congress.

COOLIDGE RAPS
PLAN TO BUILD
new CRUISERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. Il (AP)-
Immediate construction of 100
light cruisers which would be au-
thorized under the Butler bill now
on the House calendar, is unneces-
sary, in President Coolidge's opin-
ion. I.
His view, as outlined today at
the White House, is that the navy's
building program is ample for the
present. After present cOnstruc-
tion, including that on airplane
carriers and submarines is COM
pIeted, he' feels it will be possible
to provide funds to begin work on
the cruisers without greatly in
creasing naval appropriations.
To an extent at least the view
of the, president appeared to jibe
with that of members of the House
naval committee, to which has been
reported the Butler bill to author
ize the 100000 appropriation.
They point out that the measure
simply would authorize the cruis-
er construction and that there is
no intention of attempting to get
an appropriation at this session of
Congress to begin work on any of
the ships.
Members of the committee, how
ever, do feel that funds should be
provided at once for the three
cruisers already authorized by
Congress, for which the budget
made no provision. President
Coolidge has not indicated whether
he has changed his position that
money for this purpose should be
held up until it is seen whether
there is to be another arms limita-
tion conference.
The difference of opinion on the
question of starting work on the
three cruisers, is expected to stand
out more clearly after the Christ
mas recess when the naval supply
bill comes before the House. A
number of members have indicated
| they will seek to amend 1t to pro-
vide funds for the three ships, and
an extended debate is anticipated.

By GERTRUDE THEIRS

A full house and well pleased
audience at the close of the even
ing's entertainment were the gra-
tifving results of the Winslow
High School Seniors play:
"Adam and Eva" presented last
night, at the Washington auditori-
um.
The three-act comedy was a riot
of fun and held the interest of the
entire audience. The exceptionally
well selected case of seniors filled
their parts in a manner that
brought the amateur play on a
plane higher than the average, and
received the acclaim of local crit
les in dramatic art who witnessed
the presentation.
The first two acts, the scenes of
which were laid in the Long Island
home of James King, a rich man,
conferred about the life of pam
pered family who, accustomed to
the luxuries that money could buy,
had lost sight of the real love of
home and the companionship of
family life. firing of the attempt
of their father to manage the house
in a business-lifl manner, plot
is conceived whereby neighbor,
a doctor interested in the family
millions and the young unmarried
daughter, declares that Mr.. King
needs lengthy rest in some far
off secluded spot. DR.. Jack Della
meter, played by Paul Evans, who
ably took the part, and Ivan Han
cock, as James King, was all that
could be imagined in an irritable,
worried father.
Adelaide Martin cleyerly carried
out the role of his daughter, Eva,
a ready assistant in planning the
affair. The scheme is discovered
by Mr.. King, but glad to leave for
o time he consents to go to South
America and to spend three
months there. In his absence he
