Dixon Nominated
On Tariff Board
By The President

WASHINGTON. Jan. %. - tR - Lin
coin Dixon, former democratic mem
ber Of the house OF representatives
from Indiana, was nominated today by
President Coolidge to replace Henry
HI. Classic, a Maryland democrat, on
the tariff commission.
Classic, whose term expired early in
September, has been serving since un-
der recess appointment. He has been
assailed repeatedly in congress for
participating in the commissions SUI
gar investigation while his wife was
financially interested in a Louisiana
sugar plantation, and on the ground
that he leaned too far toward q pro-
tective tariff and consequently did not
represent the democratic viewpoint.
Classics critics included Senator
Robinson, the democratic leader, who
as chairman of the special tariff in
vestigating committee, contended that
his participation in the sugar case
violated rules of decency and made
him unqualified as commissioners"
Before the senate acts on Dixon's
nomination he is expected to. be called
before the senate tariff committee for
examination in line with the policy
adopted with respect to other nomina-
tions. Those of Edgar B. Brossard of
Utah and Sherman J. Lowell of New
York to the commission are still pend
ing.
No opposition was voiced today to-
Dixon, who was recommended to Pres
ident Coolidge by both Senator'S Wat,
son and Robinson, republicans, Indi-

for six years as member of the ways
and means committee and since his
retirement from congress has been

FENC' s TROOPS
SHOW BENEFITS
OF RIGHT LIVING.

PEKING, Jan. % (P)--Marshal Feng
Yu-hsiang, the pride of the mission
aries in China as an outstanding
example of the Christianized Chinese,
undoubtedly has exerted a good in
fluence upon the thousands of young
men who have constituted his army.
Whether the amount of instruction
he has been able to give them really
has implanted in their minds any
conception of the Christian religion,
is uncertain. But his efforts at
teaching his soldiers the rudiments
of clean living and morality obviously
have borne fruit
Smoking, obscenity and dissolute
habits of all sorts are tabooed under
the rigid rules enforced. The value
of athletics and of bodily cleanliness
has been emphasized. Industry and
d desire for learning have been en-
couraged.
Notices of the purport that "He
who will not work does not deserve
to eat" and knowledge and industry
are the roads to prosperity and
happiness" were painted in large
characters on walls and gates around
the barracks.
The men were given religious
training en- masse and at intervals
baptized in the Christian faith in
lots running into the thousands.
AT the time of the battles between
Peking and Tientsin, which resulted
in Fengs evacuation of the capital
these troops, most of whom thereto
fore had done no serious fighting,
amazed foreigners and Chinese alike
by their courage and the loyalty they
showed toward their officers.
Marshall Feng physically more
nearly meets the current conception
of distinguished military leader
than any other high Chinese officer.
He is over six feet in height and
weighs more than 200 pounds.

Picturesque Story
OF Pioneer Days
In I ON mbstone

(From Douglas Dispatch, Jan. %, 1910
Surrounded by an atmosphere or
picturesque tradition and the ro.
nance of the strenuous early days in
the southwest, the old town of
Tombstone is one of the most inter-
csting in Arizona. 1t stands 4,5O0
feet above sea level on the San
Pedro river, reached by branch of
road from Fairbank. Leaving the
main line there you follow Walnut
creek through the foothills of gran,
lite and limestone to Tombstone,
beautifully located on high slop-
ing plateau, with perfect drainage,
the whole being underlaid with tho
ever present limestone. A downpoul
of rain for "a hours wouldn't feazo
Tombstone, the drainage being so
good that in 10 minutes tI1Ae the
town would be as dry as board
walk. 1t is one Of the healthiest
mountain towns in New Mexico o.
Arizona and the water supply,
ample for town of 10000 people,
flows, pure as crystal, from the
crest of the Huachuca mountains, 30
miles away, near the old government
fort of the same name. At Fort
Huachuca now is a garrison of three
companies Of cavalry.
1t is superfluous to state that
Tombstone is one of the most famous
mining towns in the country. Both
the Tombstone and Leadville mines
were discovered and opened at about
the same time and both were great
silver camps in the days when silver
was worth $1.2O an ounce, two and
a half times present value.
At one time Tombstone had a
population of $4,000 people, being
perhaps the largest town in Arizona
at that time. 1t had 1000 people
when Bsbee, Clifton and Globe had
only a few shacks and had 10000
people when Morenci, Cananea, Jer-
ONE and other big copper camps en-
ploying 10000 miners did not appear
on any map in Arizona. Tombstone
could hold half the big business
houses in the Rio Grande valley In
her old buildings and have all kinds
of room left. Half of the present
business portion of the town stands
on the old claim located by Edward
Field. He was first cousin to the
late Judge Field, of the supreme
court, and Cyrus w. Field, who
built the first Atlantic and Pacific
cable He sold his mine for over
100000 in the early days of the
camp, and yet he died in an aims
house in Chicago a few years ago
and was buried at the expense or
the county Tombstone's history has
been checkered with many such
vagaries, of fortune. His brother,
D. D. Field, lived on ranch 20
miles east of old San Antonio, N.
NJ, on the tornado del Muerto. He
is now 80 years old. In 1874 he had
a sheep ranch near Riverside, Calf,

BROAD SMILE

WASHINGTON, Jan. % (R-official
Washington is unofficially chuckling
over an incident in which the geo.
graphical bump of a member of
congress played traitor and left him
high and dry for an explanation.
The story centered about verbal
tilt between this legislator who had
attacked the Cuban administration,
and prominent Cuban patriot.
The incident took place at large
official dinner held in Washington
in honor of a ranking governmental
official. The dinner was attended
by cabinet officers senator's, diplo-
mats and many we'll known figures
in the capital
The two principals of the story
were seated at the table not far from
one another, but neither knew the
others identity. The legislator di-
rected broadside of table talk
against the island republic. over
hearing it, the Cuban introduced him
self and asked the legislator why
he did not care for Cuba
Cuba is in a bad shape"
was the reply. "The finances are
badly in need of rehabilition. Why,
only the other day Cuba floated
ia loan for a number of millions
of dollars in the United States, which
only added to its already staggering
debit
You are quite sure of that?"
asked the Cuban.
Absolutely, the loan was made
but a short time ago"
Possibly, sir, you might have
confused Cuba with another country.
Perhaps, it might have BEEN (nam-
ing a republic to he south).
"Well-erh-ah.
Another person who had been list
ening to the talk, confirmed the
Cuban in his statement
Come to think of it, believe that
you are right" admitted the legislator
amid polite ripple of laughter
about the table.
In parting, the Cuban asked his
new acquaintance if he might call
some day to give an accurate account
of his island home.

.BRI'TONS WEAR
old FASHIONS
FOR A CHANGE

LONDON, Jan. 22.-R)-British men
seem to be going back to the mid
Victorian fashions in their dress.
]. c. Squire, editor of the London
Mercury, is appearing these days in a
dark gray jacket cut-away overs his
waistcoat and buttoning closely Iup
under large wing collar.
Thomas Hardy sometimes wears
coats like those of Squire. So does
Clough William Ellis, the architect.
Probably the most. sartorially dar-
ing man in London is Stephen Case
lee, the librarian of the foreign Of
flee, who wears leather waistcoats
topped by jackets cut after the fash
ions of the COS.
Gaselee has always been noted for
being extraordinary. He had kanga-
roo steaks served at his 21st birthday
dinner at Cambridge and the clothes
he was seen wearing at the university
were even, more surprising than those
in which he appears at Whitehall
He is believer in ancient rites and
ceremonies and is credited with reviv-
ing the custom at Cambridge of drink
ing from loving cups filled with Co
pas" Copas is an extraordinarily un-
palatable brew made of spices, old ale
and sherry, all mulled together and
served with pieces of burned toast
floating on the top.
Members of the house of commons
who have adopted the style of appear
ing with orchids in buttonholes are
increasing. Sir Harry Britain; has
been indulging himself in pink or
chids of late, but the most regular
wearer is Sir Vansittart Bowater. He
probably wears greater variety of
flowers during the year than any
other member.
The Prince of Wales has revived the
yellow hunting shirts worn by his an
cestors in the 10th century. The yell
low shirt ranks among the skin fit
ting garments and those who follow
the fashions set by His Royal High

The United States, Australia and

in a tragic epidemic similar to that
of 1919.
The epidemic is especially severe

Germany, Belgium. Spain, the Neither

reason could have motivated Brother
VOLTS refusal to hold public hear

The joint board also demanded that

We further informed the committee
that during our recent strike this Mr..
