SENATE DSM|SSES
ENGLISH CHARGES
Final Action in Case of Illi-
nois Judge Taken After
Some Opposition.

The final chapter in the impeach-
ment case against former Federal
Judge George W. English of Illinois
was taken this afternoon when the
Senate. by vote of 20 to 9, adopted
an order dismissing the proceedings.
This action was taken after Repre-
sentative Michener of Michigan,
speaking for the House manager, had
presented a copy OF the action taken
by the House last week In deciding
not to proceed with the charges
against Judge English in view of his
resignation.
The vote in the Senate was over
whelming in favor of concurring in
the course adopted by the House, but
before il was taken a number of
Senators expressed regret that inn
peachment proceedings should have
to be abandoned because of the resig
nation of the official involved.
Opposed by Blease.
Senator Blease, Democrat, of South
Carolina. was the first to take the
floor and declare that he did not
agree with those who favor dismiss
ing the charge. Senator Blease based
his position on a belief that all Amer
leans should be treated alike. con-
tending that a public official against
whom charges might be brought in
a court would not be excused from
trial by resigning.

American Tree Association. This,

The Nature Association agrees with
Prof. Woodbridge Metcalf of the
School Of Forestry of the University
of California, who says:
Because of the waStage and an
exaggerated notion Of the influence
of Christmas tree cutting on the fu-
ture supplies of timber for the Ma

guided, individuals have in recent
years urged that the cutting of Christ.
mas trees be prohibited by law or at
least frowned upon by forward-look-

THE success Of the movement for
forest protection depends largely on
the development of a very widespread
appreciation of the forest in the minds
of the American people. There is prob
ably no better way of instilling love
for trees in the hearts of the rising
generation than the use of the little
evergreen as the central figure of the

CHANGES BLAMED

Plummer Says Inefficiency
Results From Shifts in
Administration.

BY the Associa<-t -~~cse.
InefIiciency in administration of the
Fleet Corporation, due to frequent
changes in the craftsmanship. is the
principal reason private interests can
operate merchant lines at a profit
while the Government operates at
loss. Vice Chairman Plummer of the
Shipping Board testified today before
a Senate investigating committee.
The witness cited the recent re-
moval of Capt Elmer f. Crowley as
chairman, asserting he knew of no
rea son for the action. Admiral Ben
son, another board member. also said
that he had no knowledge of reason
for removal of Capt. Crowley.
The inquiry was held on authority
of a Senate resolution asking fnforna-
tion on the proposed. sale of the
American merchant line and the char
ter of the Leviathan and sister ships.
action on which was to have been
taken Tuesday. Mr. Plummer said
that when the board met tomorrow
he felt the consideration of PROPOSE
tions would be postponed and the
Congress would be furnished with full
information before action was taken.
After lengthy questioning Senator
81 u,
chairman of the committee, which is
making the investiga ton under au-
thority of Senate resolution told
Mr.. Plummer "the purpose of this
hearing was to insure that no action
be taken until Congress had such an
opportunity"
'T don't think there will be any
question of that, Senator" Mr.. Plum
mer answered. THE Shipping Board
does not want to put anything
through in opposition to Congress"
Senator Johnson asked the witness
If the board contemplated the sale of
the lines and Mr.. Plummer replied
that the apparent attempts to sell
them were "feelers." He did not be-
lieve a buyer for the Leviathan could
be obtained because mo man can
afford to buy and run it"
The question of Crowley's removal
consumed much of the time of today's
hearing. Senator Fletcher. Democrat,
Florida, called it a Coolidge victory"
while Senator CouZens. Republican,,
Michigan, asked Admiral Benson If it
were not "a frame-up in advance.
He declared such must have been the
case or the majority of the Shipping
Board could not have agreed.

MENfCO CITY. December 13--
More than 100.0 persons peacefully
worShiped yesterday at the shrine
of NeXico's patron saint the Virgin
of Guadalupe. For the first time in
history no priests were in attendance.
Members OF the upper classes
rubbed shoulders with hordes of In
dian pilgrims from all parts of the
republic. Men. women and children.
wearing sandals. sombrerors and thin
cotton garments. made their Way
slowly along the roads. into the great
building and past the altar to vener-
ate the Sa Int. Similar ceremonies
were held throughout the country.
Because of the multitude, the Gus
tom of worshfoerS crawling on hands
and knees along the roads toward the
church and inside the edifice was pro
hihited by the laymen serving rs di-
rcctors.
Laynen i'm Charge.
So intent We're the layrnen in hast

were hurried along through the edi-

prayers.

priests have ceased to function in
Catholic churches througho Mt Mexico
The day was MeXico's h Oliest day,
Commemorating the traditional APP
pearance of the Virgin of Guada-
lupe to a poor Indian four centuries
ago.
From long before dawn until late
at night an unending procession
jammed the church to capacity and
stretched out for miles along the
roads.
There were frequent shouts of
Long live Christ, the King" and
now and then. Long live the Pope.
Many of the Indians had trudged
great distances across the, frozen
mountain passes by night and under a
blistering sun by day.
Soldiers Line Roads.
The authorities had lined the high
ways with soldiers and policse, with
heavy reserves nearby, but there was
no untoward event. Every man and
every automobile approaching the
shrine was searched by soldiers and
police for arms.
In accordance with custom. the In
dians in groups performed near the
shrine their primitive dances. In imi-
tation of the ancient Aztec, the
dancers wore feathered headdress and
costumes made from old red flannel
shirts or womens skirts. sy1nbolizing
the gay mantles of humming birds
feathers their forefathers wore. Music
for the dances came from homemade
tom-toms and guilas fashioned from
shells of armadillos.
Souvenir venders, side shows, shoot

their customary day at various points

Outside in the corridor Fall spent
most. of the time pacing up and down
and chatting with friends. Doheny.
during the first haif hour, also was
absent from the courtroom most of
the time. Upon his return, however.
the 70-year-old oil magnate sat with
his counsel and listened attentively to
the proceedings.
Jury Is Excused.
Justice Hoehling took up the ques.
ton of prayers Immediately upon the
opening of court. and with the APP
proval of both sides, excused the jury.
Mr. Hogan then made his motion on
behalf of Mr.. Doheny that the court
direct a verdict of not guilty. The
motion stated that u verdict of not
guilty be directed ''as to each of the
defendants in this case"
In support of the motion the de.
fendant submitted that the evidence
offered by the Government fails to
show the alleged unlawful agreement
or anything approXimating one. The
motion further declared that the EN-.
ecutive order of May 81, 1921, was and
is void and ineffective to impose upon
the Secretary of the Interior any duty
in respect of leases and contracts re
lating to the naval petroleum reserves
OF the United States.
Another clause in the motion stated
there was an utter want of evidence
of any agreement between Fall and
Doheny that the. former, at the lat.
ter's request or otherwise, would
award or procure the award of the
aforesaid two contracts and the afore.
said lease
The motion concluded with this
paraSra ph:
IAN OF the evidence adduced by the
United States conclusively proves
that the award of the said contracts
and the said lease was not made and
could not have been made as a re.
suit of any prior agreement plan,

the defendants"

conviction, the jury cannot convict
one defendant without convicting an
other.
Deaf to Hogan's Plea.
Attorney Frank J. Hogan, chief
counsel for Doheny, who acted also
for Wilton j. Lambert, one of Falls
counsel, asked the court to instruct
the jury that there was no direct evi-
dence Of conspiracy in the testimony
given at the trial. Justice Hoehling
overruled that request, adding I'm
not going to say that"
The three-hour entire morning Ses-
sion, was devoted entirely by counsel
for the Government and defense in
arguing their prayers before the
court. Mr.. Roberts presented % spe-
cific prayers for instructions to the
jury. On behalf of the defense, Mr..
Hogan presented a list Of As. A num-
Der of these were eliminated by mu.
tual consent.
From the climax of last week, kS,when
spectators were held in suspense by
the dramatic scene presented in court,
the proceedings today were changed
to long and tedious argument over
technical legal points. Indications
now are that the case will not go to
the jury before noon Wednesday.
Spectators Drift Out.
Spectators, one by one, drifted out
into the corridors as the legal argu-
ments continued and a faithful court
attendant, his patience evidently at

witnesses have been taking their
