CAUSING FRIGHT
(By Dispatch A. r. wire)

LONDON, April 2O.--Daily fighting
in Damascus near the barricades
which the French have erected to
exclude the Salahieh and Midan

bullets whiz night and day in these

been killed.
Recently a vague report that the
rebels were approaching led to furi-
Gus machine gun firing in the streets
in the mid-morning, a number of
passersby being killed. Sometimes
the rebels charge right through the
center of Damascus in daylight, kid
naping wealthy notables and carry
ing them to caves in the mountains,
where they are held for ransom.
Several well known persons were
kidnapped last week.

STORMY SCENES
IN SENATE DRY
LAW HEARINGS
(Rv DISPATCH A. 2. Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 20. = Stormy
scenes and some startling revela-
tions regarding dry law enforcement
marked the sessions today of the
senate prohibition committee.
AS the drys approached the con-
clusion of the presentation of their
case, there was a FREQUENT outcrop-
ping of an under-surface bitterness,
with Senator Reed, democrat, Miss
ouri, the one wet on the committee,
standing as the central figure in the
controversy.
Out voted continuously by his dry
colleagues, Senator Reed took to the
senate floor his fight for postpone
ment of the hearings until after the
vote tomorrow on the Italian debt
settlement, but without avail.
Returning then to the committee
room, the Missourian again faced OBJ
jections by those in charge of the
case for the drys to the consuming
of time with cross examination of
their witnesses and finally objections
were raised by members of the com
mittee to certain lines of inquiry.
Senator Reed was then cross-ques-
tioning Frederick c. Baird, prohibi-
tion administrator for the western
Pennsylvania district, who disclosed
that while now on the federal pay
roll at $500 month, he still is
drawing his regular salary as traffic
director of the Bessemer and Lake
Erie railroad, subsidiary Of the
United States Steel cooperation. Baird
said he had been recommended for
the federal position by Judge Elbert
H. Gary, chairman of the board of
the steel corporation, who had been
requested by government officials to
make recommendations at the time
the prohibition force was re-organiz-
ed
Both Baird and Edwin A. Olson,
United States district attorney at.

iency in Ele enforcement of the
Volstead act within their respective

critics of Chicago and Cook county,

MAUNA LOA NOW
COOLING, WITH
LESSENED
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

KONA, H. T., April 2O.-The wrath
of the Goddess Pele, apparently has
been appeased by the sacrifice of the
ancient village of Hoopuloa and tile
lava flow from Mauna Loa today was
a rapidly cooling fire studded mass.
1t was more than sufficient, however,
to block movement of automobiles
over the government road which it
has buried deep in Stag where it
crossed to the sea.
A glowing sky before dawn near
the source Of the flow threatened fur
ther activity of the goddess of the
volcano, but islanders generally be-
lieved that Pele had temporarily vent
ed her dispIeasure.
Excursionists from other islands to
view the river of fire warmed their
feet on lava 20 feet deep, shifted the
all-pervading sulphur fumes, and de-
parted.
The fate of 10 or Is families who
lost their homes at Hoopuloa has not
been determined. Some refugees are
housed at the village of Milolii, others
in temporary shacks north of the
flow.
The sky continued cloudy with
smoke and steam from the cooling
rock stream making the air murSy.
Occasionally the sun sent a beam
through the darkened sky.

LUMBER
MILLS PASSING,
POOLER STATES

It means a great deal to com
munity to know that once a saw
mill or a wood manufacturing lndus-
try is established there that 1T Will
continue as a permanent institution.
Heretofore, when sawmill was
established in a community states
District Forester r. c. W. Pooler' II
was regarded as a temporary con-
cern, which would hire laborers, buy
it's supplies in the community Tor
few wears and then move on to an
other location. It's employees were
regarded as temperament residents
and adequate community life, such as
schools, was usually absent or main
tanned at a very low standard. These
mills dealt with their supply OF TIM
her as a mine and proceeded to cut
clean and market everything that had
any value without any regard Tor
the fast growing young timber that
should have been left for the next
crop. They were concerned only IN
securing the timber at minimum
cost and then to move to new flelo
where the same blighting process OF
destruction was repeated.
Usually the cut-over lands were
followed by destructive fires, caused
by the debris left in the process OF
logging and milling, which left noth-
ing but bare, blackened hillsldes, Inc
community which had enjoyed brief
period of prosperity, now had MOTH
ing left but deserted logging camps
and vacated sawmills. How differ
or
future, which they could have had IL
their owners had had sufficient VISION
to plan for the future.
Most of the progressive private
companies, declares Pooler, now plan
for permanent operations. They en-
ploy trained foresters who take an
inventory of the crop and plan the
harvest so that each year only the
annual growth is cut. They believe
that it is far better to enjoy mod
est prosperity over an indefinite Pc
riod. than a mushroom prosperity for
a few years.
Nature if permitted to function
as it was intended, eternally renews
the forests with young seedlings ana
fast growing young trees. 1t is only
necessary to harvest the mature tim
ber in manner that will not destroy
her efforts. Not only is the forest
crop renewed, but additional accumu-
lations of leaves, needles and tWlgs
fall on the forest floor to replenlsh
the soil fertility and to furnish a
natural sponge, so that when the
moisture falls, it is absorbed and re-
tains constant supply of water to
feed the streams of the region. The

TWO DIVERGENT.
F AR NJ BILLS IN.
HOUSE TODAY
fBy Dispatch A. P. wlrel

WASHINGTON, April 20. Two
divergent farm relief measures one
supported by the administration and
the other opposed by it, will be put
to a vote in the house.
The agriculture committee decided
on this program today after 1T be-
came evident that republican mem
bers were hopelessly split on the
two plans-the Tincher bill, endorsed
by Secretary <Jardine proposing
revolving fund of $1OO,OO0,OOO ana
other resources for federal loans to
farmers cooperative associations ana
the Haugen measure which would
carry out the corn belt plan for fl
nancing by 1evying an equalization
fee on basic farm commodities.
The committees action followed
testimony by Secretary Jardine fav-
orable to the Tincher bill and
statement by the corn belt delega-
tions disappearing it and urging their
original plan.
The committee did not vote direct
lv on the merits of either measure
and members said it was doubtful
whether it would. They indicated
that it would be left to house ma
jority leaders to decide which bill
is to have right of way.
Regardless of which one is called
up for consideration it will be in
order to move to substitute the
other and in this way the house
will have chance to express it's
preference.

BREAK BETWEEN
OREGON GALES
LOOMS
(By Dispatch A p. wire,

NOGALES, April 2O-Political sa-
wants today were inclined to view as
an imminent rupture in, the relations
of President Gales and General AL
varo Obregon, the intelligence from
Mexico City to The Herald that
friends of the president virtually
have announced he will be a candi-
date for reelection in 1928.
Gales was supported by Obregon
in his campaign for the presidency
in 1924. General Obregon on March
81. at Mexico City, announced his
candidacy for that office in the COM
ing elections, according to dis
patch from the capital city at that
time.
In some quarters it was said that
the Gales governments church poll
icies were responsible for the ex-
pected break, Mexico City edicts re-
Gently having to do with the closing
Of churches and temples and the ex-
pulsion of priests from the country.
Bloodshed at one community at least,
Tepic, state of Sinaloa, resulted from
the drastic closing law of the Gales
government. Obregon returned last
week from his trip to Mexico City
in company with several persons well
known in Mexican political circles.
His home is in Cajeme, state of So
nora. His journey to the national
capital ostensibly was made for the
purpose of forming a company which
will refine oil in Sonora. He was
acclaimed publicly and with enthusi-
asm at Mexico City.

KELLOGG CHIEF
SPEAKER BEFORE
A. P. GATHERING
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

NEW YORK, April 2O,-The United
States' interest in controversies
among American states arises
from "a sincere desire that good will
shall reign supreme" Secretary Of
State Kellogg said today at the an
nuaI luncheon of the Associated Press.
Disarmament, he said, was of
greater value than "ambitious pro-
jects," which, though excellent in
theory fail to take account of actual
problems.
Kellogg was the chief speaker on
program which included Frank b..
Noyes, president of the Associated
Press and publisher of the Washing
ton Star; Jorge A. Mitre, of La
Nacion of Buenos Aires; and Kent
Cooper, general manager of the As
sociated Press, who also made a
speech on greeting to visiting Latin
American journalists in Spanish.
Kellogg said that the government
"can only accomplish it's purpose with
the cordial backing of the greater
majority of the American people,
This backing, he continued, "is on
1y obtainable when the press is able
to treat these questions with un-
derstanding and comprehension Of
the broad lines which the govern
ment has pursued
Considering in turn, China, Turkey
and South America, Kellogg e1abor-
ated on the third in complete ex-
planation of the motives which un-
derlie the participation of the United
States in the problems of the South
American continent.
1--WE are remote from the historic
cal controversies that trouble the
continent of Europe" the speaker
said. 1--WE are, however, particularly
interested in the settlement of all
the controversies between the Amer
lean states; not directly, but through
a sincere desire that good will shall
reign supreme between these coun-
tries"
kellogg then revealed that after
desired to settle the Tacna-Arica
dispute through other means than a
plebiseite, he suggested that he would
''be happy to use his good offices"
He said that he now is endeavor-
ing to effect settlement of the
dispute through the ambassadors of
Chile and Peru in Washington.
Regarding China, the secretary stat
ed that some disturbances in her
history though long in the human
span, are relatively the merest in
cidents in the peaceful development
of it's high civilization"
He said the government had at no
time departed from a typical Amer
lean policy" toward Turkey. Kellogg
said the government did not condone
the sufferings Of minorities in Turkey
but 1--WE have noted with sympathy
and approval definite signs of prog
ress in that country =
Discussing disarmament, the sec
retary asserted that leach definite
move toward disarmament -. ).
is of greater value for the promo
tion of world peace than ambitious
and all-inclusive projects which may
be ecellent in theory but which fail
to take account of existing world
problems"
He said that the United States
had decreased it's land forces from
100000 men in 1918 to 10000 at
present representing a population of
11S.OOO,OOO.
