SPAIN PRESSES PARIS
ON TANGIERS ISSUE
Conference Agreed to by French to
Discuss African City's Status
May Achieve Little.

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News Copyright, 1927.
PARIS, February 9.--Franco-Span-
ish conversations regarding possible
modification Of the status of Tangiers,
which began in Paris today, represent
n new phase of the struggle for power
In the Mediterranean
Tangiers, 1.-THE African Gibraltar"
now is an international city, with
French influence predominant. Spain
wants to integrate it into the Spanish
zone in Morocco, or at least to obtain
predominant influence in it's admin
istration. France wants to maintain
the present legal status, drawn up by
Great Britain, France and Spain in
1923, for IL years. but has consented
to conversations with Spain as evil
dence Of good viii.
The best diplomatic opinion here is
that the conversations will fail-that
is, France will be unwilling to make
concessions considered satisfactory by
Spain. 1t is believed Spain will then
try to bring about a big international
conference on the subject. Great Brit
ain is known to desire to maintain
the international status of Tangiers
for reasons of naval strategy, but
doubtless prefers that France should
be the immediate obstacle to SPANS
Italy, Spain's ally, naturally is sup
porting the Spanish claim. In case a
general conference is held it is under
stood that Italy will ask for larger
participation in the administration of
Tangiers. The real rivals in the Med
itcrranean are France and Italy, with
the British sea power dominant pre-
cisely because of this rivalry.

CHANNEL SWIM MERS
ISSUE CHALLENGES
Mrs. Huddleston and Henry Sui
livan, Catalina Winners, Make
Counter Proposals.
By the Associated Press.

LONG BEACH, Calf. February 9.
Swimming the channel between
Santa Catalina Island and the main
land today promised to become an
event for family parties as a result
of challenges tossed back and forth
between the rival Long Beach camps
of Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston and Henry
Sullivan, both Of whom have accom-
plished the ocean swim.
Mrs Huddleston, 30-year- old mother.
who learned to swim less than a year
ago, started the bidding by Offering
to race the veteran Lowell, Mass,
distance swimmer across the cold
waters for a S25 900 side bet. Sullivan
met her proposal in part and issued
two challenges. He said she could
race against him in his next channel
try and said he would back his wife
financially "to the limit" in a swim
against the Long Beach woman. To
round out the family party he de-
clared his 7-year-old daughter,
Marion, could win against Mrs. Hud-
dlestons 11-year-old son, Everett in
a shorter race-up to miles.
Mrs. Sullivan's longest time in the
water is ~ hours, but she is capable
of longer swims and is faster than
her husband, Sullivan said. His next
try at the channel will be in an at
tempt to break George Young's record
of slightly less than 10 hours and
thereby justify use of the breast
stroke, with which Sullivan has cross
ed both the Catalina and English
channels

PLANS TO PRESERVE.
+. HISTORIC RECORDS.
Bill Offered in Senate Look
ing to Collection for Arch
ives Building.

A committee to select the historic
records of the United States and Dis
trict governments that should be pre-
served in the proposed Archives Build
ing would be created under bill in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
Smoot of Utah.
The committee would be composed
Of the Secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitution, the librarian of Congress, the
Controller General of the United
States. the director of the budget and
the chief of the Bureau of Efficiency.
This committee would examine all
records and documents of the local
and Federal governments, lists of

of executive departments and by the
District Commissioners.
Bill Carries Instructions.
The head of the archives office is
directed to accept and preserve all
documents certified by the proposed
committee as of sufficient historic
value to be kept permanently.
An archives building has been urged
for years to insure the safety of
priceless papers that tell the story of
the birth and development of Amer
lea, and, now, under the Government
building program, the structure is
soon to be constructed in the triangle
between Pennsylvania avenue and B
street.
Documents Stored Away.
AT the present time and for years
past. many of these documents
which could not be replaced if de-
stroyed--have had to be stored away
in the Easements of the Capitol and
other Government buildings under
conditions that will not preserve them
against the ravages of time.
The purpose of the Smoot bill is to
provide for a careful selection of the
records that should be kept for future
generations.

AFFIRMATION BLAMED
FOR DEATH OF FOUR
Poison Liquor Abandoned by Police
in Los Angeles
Tragedy.

LOS ANGELES, February 9.-Four
persons whose bodies were found in
lifelike positions in the small cottage
of Joseph Lee Winters, died ofsas
phyxiation, police decided yesterday
The dead are Winters and three
guests, Ralph Sperry, Mary Kistler
and Ruby Vallon, local residents.
Police broke into the house yester-
day after notification from neighbors
that they feared something was
wrong, as Winters had not appeared
in his yard since Sunday.
A small gas range, believed to have
been the source of the death-dealing
fumes, was still burning. The CON
dition of the corpses indicated asphyx-
iation, officers said. Empty glasses
and the odor of liquor gave rise to the
belief that poison liquor had caused
the fatalities. This theory later was
abandoned.
The men were in the early 30s
and the women in middle eos
according to the undertaken. Winters
leaves a widow, who left two years
ago on visit to Scotland.
