MRS. TALLER GIFTS
 DIVORCE; NO ALIMoNY
Judge Awards Decree on "Decem- Der And May" situation; Settle- mcnt Not Decideil.

(Reprfnted from Seattle papers of Nov. 9th, received by airpIane).
 Mrs. Constance Reed Hailer won a divorce from Theodore N. Haller, pioneer scion of wealth, yesterday, but not on grounds of cruelty as she had asked.
 "I can find no great cruelty but just the old impossible December and May situation, which has wreck ed SO many marriages" Superior Judge J. T. Ronald declared ia awarding the decree.
 No Alimony Set
 Haller is sixty-four and his wife Is thirty-three. He is a business man and she a rather high strung, young woman of artistic tempera- ment.
 No property settlement was made by the court, nor was any .alimony set. Rather, Judge Ron aid instructed the participants to meet him with their attorneys af- ter court adjourned. to see if they could not arrive at satisfactory property settlement themselves. Mrs. Haller has asked one-third of Haller's individual property and one-third of the income of the Haller estate since their marriage.
 Not , NfsI1fouaire xs
 Haller on the other hand, had asked the court to order a recon .ciliation. In case the divorce was granted, however. he requested that his wife be allowed sl50.00 a month and no share of the prop erty.
 After examining a list of Hal ler's holdings supplied by the hus- band, Judge Ronald announced that "Haller is not the millionaire he has been represented to be. although he is very wealthy man."
 Judge Arthur Grimm, Mrs. Hall ler's attorney, and Judge L. G. Steadman, who represented the husband, shared the courts hope that a property settlement could be made suitable to both husband and wife.

 Haller made light of what he owned individually. He said he owned two two-lot tracts in Port Townsend and few thousand dol lars worth of bonds.
 But when Griffin began asking what the holdings are of the Gran vile o. Haller estate. much of which Haller owns himself, and which he alone directs. Haller in- sisted he had no idea.
 Why, the estate involves nine counties, much of it not improved "a liability. r mean. It wolld tdAC cpCCAdllSt WCCh- tO hAsR| a check of it." Haller protested.

FINALLY GETS
BEFORE: Senate
McKellar of Tennessee
Fires First Shot
tspseIa to rhs oal.Y Worker, .

(spsoIss to The Daily WOrker)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The long
anticipated battle to bar Senator-dss-
ignate Frank L. Smith (R) Of IIII-
nols, from the senate was formally
launched this afternoon with Senator
Mcclellan (D) Of Tennesses, firing
the first shot.
In a speech charging Smith with
having violated the public service
laws of Illinois, McKellar called on
his colleagues to slam the door OF
the senate in Smiths face. He de-
clared the exclusion Of Smith would
be a notice to the people" that seats
cannot be bought in the senate. If
Smith is seated, he added, 1t would
be notice that any man who has
sufficient money can buy seat in
this body"
Cites Statute.
The battle was opened by Mcclellan
even though the senate has no def
mite information whether Smith plans
to keep the appointment to succeed
the late Senator William B. McKin-
ley or intends to decline 1t.
Touching on the charges that Smith
violated the law of Illinois in accept
ing campaign contributions from Sam
uel insult, and other public utility
magnates while serving as chairman
of the states utilities commission,
McKellar cited the statute. It read;
mo commissioner shall solicit or ac-
cept any gift, gratuity, emolument or
employment from any person or cor
poration subject to the supervision
Of the commission"
Fraud and Corruption.
"The penalty imposed" McKellar
said, "is removal from Office and
other punishment for a misdemeanor
in Office"
Here was a law that disqualified
him for holding office in the event he
received any gift from anyone con-
nected with public utilities. He
knew Of this law, OF course, and he
knew according to his own evidence
that Samuel fhsull contributed
100000 to his campaign. and yet, in
mock heroic way he wants to know
who is bringing such charges against
him. The truth is there is an evident
desire here to conceal the truth. l
do not see how any senator can read
his testimony and feel that a man,
who has his idea about truth and cor.
ruption, can ever be seated"
Mcclellan accused Smith of fraud"
and corruption" in the Illinois pri-
mary.

MEXICO PLAYS
Careful GAME
IN oil Fight
Deputies in Pledge to
Fight Aggression

MEXICO CITY, Jan. q. - Theoretie-
ally, the Mexican government is In
possession Of AL foreien-owned oil
lands acquired prior to 1917 for which
the owners failed to file concession
claims before Jan. I. But so far, tho
government has made no effort to
actually take oyer the properties
whose values, present and potential,
run Into many millions Of dollars.
Precisely what the Gales govern
ment proposes to do is not clear. The
fact that the government did not i'm
mediately take over the properties as
the laws and the constitution gave 1t
the right to do is looked upon as
strategic move planned for the pres
ent to avoid Immediate difficulties
with the United States.
Plenty Of Time.
II seems to be the opinion in official
circles that there is plenty Of time to
enforce the laws and that Gales did
right In not giving the United States
an excuse for drastic action by taking
over the oil lands from American
owners on Jan. /.
The situation is complicated also
by events in Nicaragua, which are
being watched closely here The
combined propaganda of the U. S.
state department and the bogus Pres
ident Diaz of Nicaragua, which had
as it's object to involve Mexico in the
Nicaraguan affair as a smoke-screen
for American aggression, is receiving
much attention from the Mexican
press and is directly connected up
with the oil dispute.
Deputies Swear Allegiance.
A patriotic wave was started over
the country by banquet held Jointly
between members of the chamber of
deputies and the senate. Deputy
Gonzales Santos, leader of the social
ist alliance, made an address in which
he declared: Truly this moment is
difficult. but r>At provides better
opportunity for revolutionist than q
difficult momentf l do not believe
that any foreigner would dare to in
iure our rights, but If they resolve
to infiame any Mexican traitor, Of
which some unfortunately exist, then
we will have the opportunity to prove
the form of our revolution. And l
exhort you that when the moment ar
rives you will leave your political
posts temporarily and definitely take
up your redeeming carbines."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Charging
that the sea-power Of I the United
States has fallen below not only that
of Great Britain but of Japan as well,
Senator Hiram Johnson, republican.
California, led a jingo demonstration
that included both houses OF con-
gress. In a speech couched in terms
of an arraignment Of the admins
tration, the California senator raised
the cry Of more ships of war in a
way calculated to be sensational and
declared that the United States, as
defense matters now stood, was open
to "any murderous assault"
Entirely ignoring the Nicaraguan
events of the past weeks, Senator
Johnson said: Our country, pa
cific in intentions, desires no nations
lands nor the conquest Of any people
and by precepts and examples will
lead in peaceful paths. But dumb is
he to the lessons of the past, blind
to the conditions of the present, who
will strip us of our defensive armor
and leave us at the mercy of any

BY T. }. o'FLAHERTY.

TT Is interesting to note that out Of
4 the total OF one hundred local un-
ions represented nt the conference
held recently in New York to initiate
war on Communist influence in the
trade untona, at least half of tho To-
Gals misrepresented are In the cloth
ing business and of the remainder
another fifty per cent came from un-
ions associated with the needle trades.
Tho so-called American unions" !"
mostly led by irish catholics, sent
few observers and gave lip service
to the war on Communism, but to
those gentlemen, socialism under any
ether name is Just as repugnant.
TT Is also significant that the officers
4 Of this fake committee to preserve
the trade unions are socialists. The
socialists tell the officials Of the A.
y. Of l. that they are waging war
against the Communists because the
latter wish to control the trade un-
ions. But Il is quite obvious that the
socialists have the same object, tho
with this difference: The Communists
aim at changing the mental process
es Of the trade union members. The
socialists want to capture Offices and
salaries. The latter aim is quite
agreeable to the A. r. OF l.. official
dom, unless there are personal rea-
sons involved. But such an aim is
not at loggl --heads with the business
of trade union leadership as under
stood by Green, Woll and Co.
rTHIS great American revolt against
4 Communist influence in the trade
unions is led by Beckerman Of the
Amalgamated Clothing workers, so
eialist, by Shiplacoff of the Pocket
book mot pickpocket) Workers a so
ciaist, and by Morris limestone of
the Hebrew Trades. The Americanism
of those lads is beyond question. At
least they possess that great Ameri-
can quality which puts the retention
of a good job above all other consi-
derations. Those Jewish socialist la

What wouldn't an official of the Anal

With one chunk OF mud. They are

Especial to The Daly workerl

Especial TO The Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Dr. Vaes,
Washington agent of the sacasa gov
eminent in Nicaragua, which has been
virtually taken prisoner by Admiral
"Roughneck" Latimer, called at the
state department on the morning Of
Dec. 30 to make a personal protest
to Secretary Kellogg.
He was escorted to the waiting
room, There he was met, after some
delay, by keiloss's private secretary.
Outside the door stood the veteran
private messenger to whom had been
handed Vaca's formal letter Of pro-
test two days earlier. Kellogg had
denied, in talks with the press on the
2sth and 3oth, that the department
had lever received any eoFnmunIes-
tion from Vaea," or that a censor
ship existed at Sacasa's capital,
Puerta cabezas. which had been "neu-
traIIzed" by Latimer.
Vaca showed the private secretary
letter from the Washington ssSnager
Of the Postal Telegraph Co, with dts
patches from the Tropical Gable Co
and the International Radiograph Co,
declaring that censorship at Puerta
Cabezas has prevented delivery of all
messages to members Of the Sacasa
government there. The messages
reach the town, but the censor set up
by Latimer does not permit their de-
livery.
Kellogg Dodaes Vsea.
The private secretary smoothly as
sured Vaca that he would inform Kel-
logg of this evidence. When asked
to take the documents to Kellogg he
declined, saying it was not neces-
sary." A few minutes later the press
relations officer of Kellogg's depart
ment informed newspaper men that
Kellogg now positively declares there
is no censorship at Puera Cabezas."
Press Ansered at Lles.
Kellogg has affronted the majority
Of press correspondents in Washing
ton by his persistence in denying OBJ
vious facts about his raid against the
contitutional liberal government In
Nicaragua These men gathered
around Vaca, eagerly made copies Of
his documents, and discussed Kellogg
in terms OF ridicule and contempt.
while predicting that the whole coun-
try would soon be aroused against his
stupidity in throwing away the last
claim Of the Coolidge administration
to international morality.
5orah Is Funny.
One Of the absurditiss OF the situA-
ton is the wobbling attitude Of Chair
man Borah of the senate foreign re-
lations committee When he emerged
from one OF his talks with Kellogg and
assured the press that he was no
longer sure that anything more had
been done than AFFORD protection TO
American lives and property in Mic
aragua, he was questioned az to what
evidence Kellogg had given him. He
admitted, reluctantly, that he had
mot thought to ask" whether any
American had been injured or even
threatened by any OF the liberal re-
gime whose territory has been seized
by Latimer's force.

Plan Is Favored Because of
Low Price of Cottonseed
Meal and Hulls.

Because of the low price of cotton
seed meal and hulls this winter, win
ter feeding of beef cattle for the
spring market might be good venture
for farmers who are favorably located
for the work.
Favorable Fattening Dates.
'The most favorable dates for fat
tening beef cattle are between Novem-
Der l and March L." says Prof. r. s.

do better In the winter months and
there Is not so much danger in feed
ing the meal. Those who wish to be-
gin this work should do so at once,
otherwise the finishing period may ex-
tend over into the warm months. Con-
ditions then are less favorable for
feeding cottonseed meal, farmers are
busy in spring and the manure must
be hauled out at an unfavorable time
Professor Curtis states that when
one starts to feed beef cattle with the
meal, each animal should be given one
pound daily and the amount be gradu-
ally increased so that a full ration
be given at the end of 80 days. A safe
rule to follow for the~fu ration is
one pound of meal to each 100 pounds
live weight of animal, using PA to 8
pounds of hulls for each pound Of
cottonseed meal used. Where farm
