MEMORIAL TO FIRST
PRESIDENT URGED
Plea to Congress Considered
for Speeding Up BuiIdinq
on B Street.

ACCESSIBILITY OF asking Congress to
make an appropriation to speed up
progress on the George Washington
Memorial Building. which was started
several years ago on B street between
Sixth and Seventh streets, Is being
considered.
The status Of the project was gone
over a few days ago at a conference
between members of the Public Build.
ings Commission and Mrs. Henry r.
Dimock. president Of the George wash
ington Memorial Association.
While nothing definite has been de-
cided, it Is understood one suggestion
is that If the Government made q
partial appropriation to erect the ex-
terror walls it would facilitate the
task of obtaining funds to carry the
memorial on to completion.
The foundation for the structure was
laid several years ago. up to the point
where the superstructure would start,
Congress. through a special commits
sion, has already embarked upon plans
for the appropriate observance OF the
200th anniversary of the birth of
George Washington in 1882, and IL is
understood to be the desire of the
Memorial Association to see the struc
ture finished in time for the bicen-
tennial celebration.
In addition to a large auditorium
that would seat from 1000 to L 600
persons, the memorial plans call for
other rooms for smaller State gather.

Indy AT BULL FIGHTS.
Flying Colonel Is Guests of Honor
At Arena.

MEXICO CITY, December 10 @.-
When Charles A. Lindbergh hops off
for Central America the loving eyes
of his mother for the first time will
watch her famous son start one of his
long distance flights.
When Lindbergh hoped off for
Paris. his mother had bid him good by
several days before, not wishing that
her presence at the beginning of that
great adventure should disturb him.
When he started from Washington for
Mexico. Mrs. Lindbergh was teaching
school in Detroit.
Despite more than so protests from
individuals and organizations in
America, Lindbergh saw two bull
fights. At the first OF these one of
Mexico's most popular heroes came
out of his retirement to pay a bull
lighters tribute to the hero from the
North. At the other, six bulls were
killed, two of them being dedicated
to Lindbergh.
Lindbergh went to ranch where
the National Association of Charros
or horsemen staged a rodeo in his
honor. First there were exhibitions
by famous horsemen and then Will
Rogers stepped inc me ring and dis
played number of his roping tricks.

MAGRUDER BRANDS
SIX CRUISERS JUNK
Would Abolish New York NAVY
Yard and Foresees Big
Hampton Roads Base.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Six American cruisers are obsolete.
expensive to maintain and should be
decommissioned Immediately, Rear
Admiral Thomas P Magruder, de-
posed commandant of the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard, told the House
naval committee today in continuing
n defense of his charge of waste by.
the Navy Department in administra-
ton of naval activities.
The ships named were the cruisers
Pittsburgh, flagship of the Asiatic
fleet; the Rochester. flagship of the
special service squadron in Mica
raguan waters; the Cleveland, the
Denver the Galveston and the scout
cruiser Tulsa.
The admiral said Narragansett Bay
was a slightly better strategical loca-
ton for a naval base, but that base
could be maintained more economically
in Hampton Roads, Va, and with only
n little loss strategically. He favored
abOlishing the navy yard at New York,
but retention of the yards at Boston.
Philadelphia and Norfolk.
Bases Paramount Needs"
He predicted that some day the
Navy would have great base in
Hampton Roads, adding he thought
two large bases. one each on the At
lantic and Pacific, were paramount
needs, even ahead OF new ships.
San Diego and Norfolk were men
toned by Magruder as his choice for
naval training stcsh)ns.
During discussion OF the navy yards
Chairman Butler remarked that the
Government had spent total OF
$4,000, 100000 on navy yards since
1875 and Magruder said that $4,350,.
900 annually could be saved by clos
ing the New York yard, $500, 900 by
closing the Portsmouth yard and
S607, 900 at the Charleston. S. c., yard
A total Of 1,700 additional officers
will be needed for the II new ships
proposed in the Navy's $725 100000
building program, Chairman Butler
said at committee hearing.
Would Increase Appointments.
He Endorsed a committee recon-
mendation that each member Of Con-
gress be allowed five appointments to
Annapolis instead of three.
This would provide for 1926 ap-
pointments each year instead Of 1905
as at present. Butler also said he
understood that the Navy planned to
place five airplanes on each Of the
% cruisers of 10000 tons proposed in
the program. This compares with
two carried by the 7,500-ton cruisers
of the Memphis class.

of the sports of Mexico under a per-
feet sky and brilliant sun.
The exhibition of roping and riding
at the Rancho de Charos was one OF
the finest things of the kind / have

members of the Mexican labor unions
at the National Palace. which was a
gratifying expression of friendliness

Draped Over Shoulders.
I am not quite certain yet how l
should wear it, but Senior Ortiz placed
it over my shoulders and | suppose
that is the way it should be worn.
Last night I had the first oppor-
tunity of seeing some of the country
around Mexico City from an automo-
bile, in which we drove out some way
toward Puebla over a wide and
smooth road.
The road went up through the
mountains, from which there was a
splendid view of Mexico City and the
valley. / should think this would be
a great tourist center.
1t is one of the most picturesque
places on the continent, easy of &C
cess and with a delightful climate.
liz a few hotels were built on these
hills, with golf courses laid out near
them, so that it would be possible to
stay in the country, it should be one
of the most attractive places in North
America.
This valley has a romantic history
and contains the remains of the old
Aztec and Toltec civilizations. which
were the oldest north of the Isthmus.
The Toltec and Maya people were a
cultured people, whose remains are
among the most interesting in the
world. am looking forward to a
visit to the famous pyramids, where
I. may see what is believed to be the
ruins of the Toltec city.
A Beautiful Spot.
It is hard to believe now that this
whole valley was originally a huge
lake, with little islands in it, on which
the ancient cities were built. 1t must
have been a beautiful spot in those
days, even more so than now, although
Mexico City is one of the most de-
lghtful cities 1 have ever visited.
If tourists should come to Mexico
in great numbers, 1t should be posi-
bic to build up air lines. which would
make it much more accessible. The
United States is now two days away
by II lroad, but it would be only
few hours by airplane. Flying in
multi-motored planes is as safe as
travelling by rail, and in the next few
years there should be developed
series of air lines which will connect
all this part of the continent and ex-
tend to. South America.

Mildew Restricts Trade.

American shoe manufacturers who
have been trying to increase their busi-
ness in Malaga find that one OF their
chief obstacles is tropical mlldew,
which attacks all leather articles.
Dealers cannot afford to carry large
stocks or proper assortments OF sizes
and styles. Only a few of the more
pretentious stores carry anything ap-
preaching adequate stock. Another
handicap to trade is that only low
shoes are worn.

Families Depressed at Re-

Is Suspended.

Although refusing to abandon hope,
the families of the four Washington
men entombed aboard the sunken sub
marine S-4 off Provincetown, Mass,
realized today that the latest news
from the scene of the disaster is very
discouraging, and they are prepared
to hear the worst.
They are eager for every scrap of
information from press dispatches and
the Navy Department. Their anxiety
was UNNECESSARILY increased when
they learned this morning that the
rescue work had to be temporarily
abandoned because of the 45-mile gale
blowing off the Massachusetts, coast.
Still, a shred of encouragement was
found in reports that the airline,
which has been run down and at
tached to a valve on the boat, had not
been broken.
The disaster has entirely dispelled
the holiday spirit which had been
manifest in the four homes until the
terrible news was received so sudden
ly Saturday night. Plans to observe
Christmas. with sons and husbands at
home, have been sorrowfully aban-
dOned.

SUPREME COURT REVERSES BURLECH
DISTRICT COURT IN PATTERSON TAX
COMPROMISE APPEAL IS Held LEGAL

Action of the Burlcigh county
board Of commissioners in abating
taxes owed the county by E. G. Pat
tcrson is appcalablc to the district
court, the state supreme court ruled
Saturday in reversing the decision Of
the Burlcigh county district court,
Judge w. J. Kneeshaw Of Pembina
presiding. The county's appeal from
the commissioners action was re-
mandcd to the district court for re-
view.
The district courts ruling held
that the boards action in the "Pat-
terson compromise" as the case is
commonly known, was not appealable
to the court inasmucAsas it had been
approved by the state tax commits
sioner. The supremlscourt held that
"the action of the county board COM
promising such taxes becomes cffec-
tive without the approval Of the state
tax commissioner and is final in the
absence Of an appeal"

cause"
History Of the Case
The Patterson tax compromise in
volved back taxes totaling approx
mately $65,OOO. States Attorney F.
+. McCurdy, elected two years ago on
a platform of forcing payment Of
these taxes, first started action to
mandamus the county commissioners
to start proceedings towards securing
tax deed to the property. Later
under q law passed by the 1925 ses.
sion, McCurdy brought actionto fore
close a tax licn., Shortly before the
case was scheduled for trial, the
commissioners voted to abate about
5000 Of the taxes due and settle
for approximately $4,000, which Pat
tcrson paid.
Upon the request Of nine taxpay.
crs, McCurdy took the case to dis
trict court on an appeal from the &C.
ton Of the board. The supreme court
summoned Judge Kneeshaw to sit in
the case, and he ruled that no appeal
was possible inasmuch, as the boards
action was approved by. the tax COM
missioners.. McCurdy appealed from
this decision to the supreme court.
