Giant Eagles in Philippines.

The toughest bird in the world, ac
cording to ornithologists, is the mon
key eating eagle which inhabits the
Philippine Islands, says The Nature
Magazine. 1t is supposed that there
are not more than 100 of the birds in
the entire archipelago. Recently ar
unusually large specimen was cap
tured in the Province of Pangasinar.
It's claws were larger than a mans
hand and it's legs were as big around
as ones wrist. Nearly every creature
living in the islands, including the ma
tives. is more or less afraid Of these
ferocious birds. Each bird patrols a
large area and does not permit n rival
in that territory.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (R-The gov

Daugherty-Mi trial today.
Richard Merton, German metal mag
nate, once indicted with Harry NJ
Daugherty, former attorney general
and Thomas w. Miller, former alien
property custodian for conspiracy to
defraud, was called to tell his story
of the transfer of the $7,000,000 as
sets of the American Metal company,
seized during the war as enemy owned
property from the alien property GUS
todian, to the Societe Suisse Pour VAL
eurs de Metaux.
Merton related that he came to the
United States in 1921 to see if he could
have the American Metal assets re-
leased to the Societe Suisse, for which
he was agent. He said he met John T.
King, one time national republican
committeeman from Connecticut, and
told him his mission.

him he had just been installed as
alien property custodian, and did not
know much about affairs of that Of

an authority on alien property mat

So Merton went to Washington, met
Miller again, and was turned over to
G. E. Williams, Miller's assistant. Will

BLAMED
FOR FAILURE
OF RIVER Bill
Swing Johnson Act Held
Up By Withdrawal of
State From Pact

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 P).-Respon-
sibility for failure of the Swing-John-
son Boulder canyon dam bill to obtain
the legislative right of way in the
house was placed upon the state of
Utah today by Chairman Smith, of the
irrigation committee, which reported
the measure. Recent action of that
state in withdrawing from the Colo
RADIO river compact, he said in a state
ment, is one of the chief reasons that
the rules committee has failed to give
the Measure preferred legislative
status
Manwhile Representative Swing, re-
publican, California, co-author of the
bill, announced that it's supporters pro-
posed to call on Speaker Longworth
tomorrow to ask him to ointercede with
the rules committee to give the mea-
sure a chance to come before the house.
Smith expressed hope, that Utah
would change it's attitude and reaffirm
the compact. Representatives Cotton
and Leatherwood, republicans, Utah,
have also sponsored amendments to
the bill.
IF Utah had not withdrawn there
is no doubt" he continued, that the
rules committee would have placed this
legislation on the program for action

President Suggests Present
Ratio Include Smaller

FIVE COUNTRIES
Great Britain, Japan, Italy
and France Invited to
Conference.

WASHINGTON Feb. 10. up The
great sea powers were besought to-
cay by the American government to
complete without delay the naval
Limitation program they began in
1921 at the Washington arms con-
ference. In a diplomatic note touched
with anxiety lest the world again
drift into an era of competitive navy
building, President Coolidge invited
the governments of Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan to join with
the United States in negotiating an
agreement that would place all
classes of warcraft under limitations
similar to those put upon first class
ships by the Washington treaty.
1t was proposed that the discus
sions be held at Geneva during the
league of nations armaments confer
ence to convene there next month,
and that the general principles of the
Washington conference be accepted as
the basis of negotiation. To linn
tied degree the president suggested
that the 5-5-3-2-2 ratio applied to
the respective capital ship strength
of the five powers be carried down
ward to include cruisers, submarines
and all other navy ships.
A 5-5-3 ratio as between the United
States and Great Britain and Japan,
he said, might well be carried all
down the line, but he made an excep-
tion in the cases of France and Italy,
who occupy the lowest brackets Of
the ratio.
The special considerations raised
by French and Italian interests in
the Mediterranean, insofar as they
require a disproportionate cruiser and
submarine strength, would be left for
negotiation at Geneva.
Announcement of the proposals was
made by the president in special
message to congress, which received
it with general expressions of APP
prevail There was no sign tonight,
however, that senate or house leaders
would recede from their plan to over
ride repeated previous recommends
tions of the White House and author
ize the addition of three more cruis-
ers to the American navy.
No direct reference was made to
the three cruiser proposal in the
presidential message, although it did
contain warning against being led
into any semblance of building race
with other nations. After declaring
it long had been apparent that some
extension of the Washington treaties
should be sought to cover construc-
tion of cruisers, destroyers and sub

Southern Forces Concen-
trating In Expectation of
Fierce Attack.

PEKING, Feb. 10. P-The allied
war lords of the north have begun
their long expected drive to hurl back
the Cantonese invaders into the south
land. North against south, the strug-
gle is on to determine the control of
all China.
Chang Tso-Lin, dictator of Man
churia for many years, made the an
nouncement today in kilograms to gen
erals of the northern alliance, which
he heads as the power behind the Pek-
ing govrnment.
Through Chilli and Shangtung pro-
vinces the northern troops are advanc-
ing to recapture Hankow from the
Cantonese, who have been using it as
their central China base to prepare for
their further march toward Peking and
also Shanghai.
The northerners will not halt at the
Yangtse river, said Chang, but will
force the Cantonese back through
Human province to their home province
of Kwangtung, from which they began
the northward march last spring that
gained them domination over half of
China.
Of Marshal Wu Pei-Fu, Chang notified
those adherents of the once dominant
war lord of central China that the
northern armies were advancing into
their province on Honan. He requested
their co-opeation, but warned them
that he would brook no opposition.
Many requests for relief from Can
tonese rule had reached him, asserted
Chang, and he was most anxious to
assist the people of Human and Hupeh
provinces, but in this he had been
balked by Wu Pei-Fu, once his ally
against the Kuoninchun, the national
peoples army of the Peking govern
ment, which Chang and WI overthreW
last April.
Marshal WI, charged Chang, not only
had done nothing for six months in
Honan province against the invading
Cantonese but had prevented Chang
from driving them out. Wu's forces
had placed obstacles before the ad-
vance of the northern troops. WI had
failed to act against the enemy which
drove him from Hankow last August
and wrested nearly all of central China
from his rule
Reports were circulated IN PeklnS
today that Wu had made spirited
reply to Chang's declaration. WI
was said to have demanded that
Chang state the number of troops
he was sending into Honan prov
ince, and to have ordered Chang to
stop their advance at Changteh, at
the northern border. Conflict might
be prevented between the northern
soldiers and his men, intimated Wu,
if Chang Teh were the limit of
their advance and he thus were en-
abled to attempt better understand
ing between the troops.
The Canto nese, it is known here
have been preparing for the northern
advance upon them For more than
two weeks, they have been con-
centrating their forces at and near
Hankow to resist. Foreign ships
have been commandeered by the Can
tonese in their haste to bring to
Hankow troops that were stationed
at other places along the Yangtse.
