a Chicago hotel some time ago

Is there an inexpensive method
of removing tacks and nails from
the highways Of COchise county?
Jack Barnhart, who operates a
service station at 11O1 F avenue,
says there is. 1t should be a
simple and Inexpensive process,
he reasoned yesterday, to mag
netiZe six foot sections of railway
steel and suspend one by chains
or wire to the rear of each high
way maintenance truck so that
it would hang from four to six
inches above the surface of the
road.
Barnhart had been talking with

east. Gull reported that he saw
such magnets in daily use and
declared they were effectively
clearing the highways of tackS,
nails and other scattered metal
that injured tires and caused
punctures.

chanicaI department, Dispatch

with various technicianS. The
consensus of opinion was that the
experiment was worth trying, and,
If it worked, would be inexpensive.

introduction by DR.. Fridtjof Nansen,
the explorer, of "the draft of an OPP
tional convention for obligatory ar
bitration Of disputes"
1t is designed to allow the powers,
whether members of the league or not,
to agree to submit their differences to
arbitration in the hope that by the
adhesion of more powers to the con-
vention recourse to war may be grad
ually outlaWed" along the line taken
up in the Briand-K Kellogg negotiations
and propounded by United States
Senator Borah and Professor James
T. Shotwell
The proposals created intense inter-
est in assembly circles, it will be de-
bated on Friday and will probably be
sent to the assembly's judicial COM
mittee for further study,
DR.. Nansens recommendation would
include the settlement of disputes of
whatever nature arising between the
Signatories which have not been set
tied within a reasonable time by the
normal methods of diplomacy. The
second article StipulateS that all legal
disputes would be referred without
special agreement to the world court
of justice. If any doubt existed as
to whether the disputes were judicial
in nature, and hence came under the
compulsory arbitration clause of the
world court, that court should decide
the question.
Other clauses provide that in case
disputes are not settled by the world
court OF the council Of the league Of
nations, they shall be referred to ar
bitration by a committee of arbitrators
to be constituted by the parties in
dispute, failing in which the council
of the league shall appoint arbitrat-
orS.

Friends Advise That Pacif-

Result in Death.

TOKYO, Sept. is (Thursday)- The
projected flight of the American
monoplane Pride of Detroit across
Tie Pacific on its globe circling tour
was called off here today by its
rc-pilcts Edward F. Schlee and Walter
S. Brock.
The decision to call off the flight

many cablegrams from America
urging the fliers to stop at Tokyo
also carried weight Brock and Schlee
finally concluded the attempt to me-
gotiate the Pacific would be suicide.
They will take an early boat for
the United States and have their
moncplane shipped home.
The decision to end the flight of
the Pride of Detroit here brings to
an end one of the. most successful
long distance flights ever made
Brock and Schlee have flown 12.275

They arrived here in good health and
good spirits The plane was in good

mined to make the attempt to flv
to Midway Islands, 2,48o miles fron1
here.
The advice the flierS received was
70
of the trip. Hundreds Of cablegrar1s
awaited them here at the American
embassy, pleading with them to give
up the flight at Tokyo The opinion
Of government and private aviation
authorities here was against the
flight, owing to the difficulty of
locating the Midway Islands and
landing if they found them.
Brock and Schlee Immediately cabled
their families that their flight had
been discontinued. They also called
in tailors and ordered them to make
"hurry-up' clothes for them, their
only suits having been purchased in
Calcutta and are suitable only for
tropical wear. -.
Both men are wearing borrowed suits
and necktieS.
q Government agents questioned them
with regard to their flying over forth
fications, but they proved clean bill
of health
Before the decision to call off the
flight the Japanese navy had consid-
cred sending out three destroyers to-
ward Midway to assist the fliers, all
though believing the flight suicidal.
The fliers have no plans previous
to their sailing Saturday
The decision to forego chance at
breaking an important world record
was not reached without an emotional

TO MEXICO SAYS
BISHOP P. DIAZ

/ WASHINGTON Sept. IA CP = The
Rt. Rev. Pascual Diaz, bishop of Ta7
,basco Mexico, and secretary of the
bishops of Mexico, announced here
today that the bishops deported by
Mexican authorities had not made any
concessions in order to return to that
country.
Bishop Diaz, here attending a con-
ference of bishops at Catholic uni
,versity, said the bishops of Mexico,
the great majority of whom have been
deported stand "as they have stood
from the beginning for the principle
of religious liberty. for the rights of
the church of Christ to live and func-
ton as the church"
Naturally, as lovers of our native
land we wish to return to her." he
Fldded, land we would do all we can
ito return except to make any sacri-
fices which are the security of her
permanent Well-being"
Archbishop Edward j. Ham, chair
i.nan of the administrative committee
lof the national Catholic welfare con-
ference, said that religious prosecu-
ton in Mexico continues to shock the
civilized world and that he was in
position "to state that it is not possible

situation to accept President Gales

Nation is Growing Wings
and Opportunity Offers
For Port Here.

Announcing that the trans contin-
entail air lines will be in service within
the next three months, George E
Buxton, who returned late yesterday
from the coast, urged immediate
action on the completion OF tbs
Douglas international airport in
order that this city may be designated
as main line port on the national
airways.
,6llACon has made deep study OF
aviation during the past few months
and has been associated in research
work with some of the nations
leading aviation experts on the coast.
He states that aviation is sweeping
the country, that thousands of people
are purchasing their own private
planes and that hundreds in Cali
fornia are being graduated from
flying schools.
Buxton brings back word that three
separate corporations are about ta
launch trans continental air lines and
that all that is necessary for this
city to become port on a national
air line depends on what effort can
be made here toward the establish"
ment at once of a completely equip
ped field at least a mile long and
from quarter to a half miie wide.
Maddux, Inc. the Ford representa-
tives in the west, will start their
service for passengers within the nexs
three months. They will make g
regular run from Los Angeles to
Dallas, Texas, and if this city IS
prepared and can offer fully equipped
field, some mail passenger and
freight business it is believed the
main line may be routed over this
city.

ment Of the corporation, will make
a trip over the proposed trans

plane within the next ten days and

urges. that this city have something
concrete and definite to offer these
men when they get here. He states
that the present landing field is en-
tirely inadequate and cannot be con-
sidered and that these men with their

The league of nations preparatory dis

Won Bernstorff asserted that the

TARIFF BOARD
ABANDONS Plan.
TO PROBE COST
Argentine Resents Effort
to Ascertain Agricultural
Costs

WASHINGTON Sept. IA, P1--
Perplexities besetting American tar-
iff affairs were added to today when
because of resentment in Argentina,
the tariff commission abandoned
plans TO send "a committee to that
country to investigate the cost Of
producing flaxseed and corn i'll the
South American republic.
This decision was reached while
the American government awaited the
reply of France on the proposal to
negotiate new commercial treaty
between the two countries which
would remove tariff inequalities re-
Gently raised against American goods
by the new French duties.
While the Argentine and French
situations are not along the same
lines, irlasnuch as one affects Amer
ican laws while the other deals with
French regulations, their sudden
emergence into the limelight has
served to stimulate tariff discussion
here on the eve of a session OF con-
greSs.
Information reaching members OF
congress is that the American tar
iff law provision providing for OBJ
tanning production costs abroad has
been the source Of considerable il-'
ritation, so much so that an effort
probably will be made at the next
session for it's repeal.
Members of the tariff commission
are understood to feel that they can
obtain the same results by q provision
directing that body to ascertain the
costs of laying down foreign goods at
American ports.
This information IS so complete it
is claimed, that it is not difficult
to arrive at the approximate cost
of production abroad.
