Shanghai, Jan. 13 R-A report received here today said represen- tatives of the Picking government called on certain legations at Tien- t.in yesterday and Suggested" that the foreign concession there be handed over to the Chinese.
 Tientsin is the principal sea out let and commercial capital of North China.
 This move is not considered sur prising. as the recent case at Han kow, where the southern govern ment took over the British conces- sion after an uprising among tho Coolies and caused evacuation of American and British residents, Is considered a precedent which cer- tain Chinese leaders intend to fol- low elsewhere.
 Reports that the northern govern ment would follow the course taken by the Cantonese at Hankow were received here from Picking few days ago.

Boston's ''Firebug" Now
 Is Believed Captured

Boston, Jan. 13.--lP}- In the ar- rest last night of Harry De Voc. a negro janitor, Boston police believed they had solved the mystery of a series of incendiary fires in the Elm Hill section of Roxbury. During the past week from two to seven fires have broken out each night in the district.
 Tonight, as firemen were respond ing to their third call of the eve ming, police who had been watching for the firebug arrested De Voc as he ran through the back yard of an apartment house in which the fire had been discovered. He was charg- ed with drunkenness and will be questioned tomorrow by the state fire marshal.
 Several of the fires started in the basements of small apartment houses in which De Voc was en- ployed as janitor. Fire Chief Synnott said there was evidence that all had been set.

 Some thirteen foreigners. includ- ing women and children. have elec- ted to remain in Ruling. although advised to leave. Ruling. just south of Kiukiang. also was the recent scene of anti-foreign agitation.
 News from upriver points along the Yanktze river indicates that the evacuation of foreigners from the interior Is proving very difficult. Owing to a general boycott, as re- suit of which no boats. other con- veyances or Coolies are available, many of the foreigners may be con- pelled to walk.
 Advices from Hankow say the tension there has lessened and that the British are now able to move freely about the concession. Authori- ties of the international settlement and the French concession here con- tinue unostentatiously to prepare for possible eventualities which might grow out of the anti-foreign agita- ton in China Barbed wire barri- cades are ready to be erected at given spots on a moments notice.

The trees include pin oaks, sugar naples, Norway naples, European lindens, and Silver naples, all of which are noted for their beauty anu dpuliudil oudue' IHC type of trees used on each portion of the highway is selected by the departments landscape architect.
 Contractors are required not only to furnish and plant the speci- fled trees, but are also compelled to care for their growth for period of one year and to replace any defec- tive ordead stock. Bids have also been requested for the planting of various ornamental and protective growths, such as shrubbery and Towering plants. According to pres ent plans, portions of the states highway system will undergo the beautifying process each year until the work is completed.

Black Currants May Not
 Be Raised Much Longer

Hartford, Jan. 13.-lP>-Connecti- cut residents who are fond of black entrants and who insist on home grown products will have to look elsewhere for this delicacy If plans considered by the Connecticut nurs- erymen's association materialize. The association favors prohibiting the growth of the black currant in Connecticut and will urge that the general assembly take action to make this possible.
 It was pointed out by w. o. Fill ley, of the Connecticut agricultural experiment station that black cur rant bushes spread the disease known as the white pine blister rust" which has resulted in a strict quarantine prohibiting the exporta- ton of Connecticut grown white pine to any point outside the state. Abolishing the growing of black entrants was suggested as the only possible medium of lifting or even

3,205 PARDONS NOW
 GRANTED IN TEXAS
Governor Challenges Anyone to
 Show They Are Unjust

Austin, Tex. Jan. 13 R-Brand- ing her critics "a crowd of howl ers' and challenging them to prove any of her clemency acts were unjustifled. Governor Miriam A. Ferguson ha, increased her par don and parole total to the new state record of S,2O5. while crimi- nal courts in two counties today had postponed criminal dockets until the expiration of her term. January IS.
 Judge Whit Boyd of Harris county (Houston) yesterday con- formed to the action of Bexar county jurists in discontinuing sentencing of all criminals pending the woman governors retirement. Judges of both districts acted on the requests of district attorneys who declared men recently con- victed had been liberated.
 With counsel of friends of con- victs besieging her office with peti- tions for clemency, Governor Fer guson defed her critics and in turn made accusations of irregularities in court procedure. She then con- tinued signing clemency orders. the days summary showing 27 full pardons and one conditional par don. This was slightly less than the average maintained for several days
 One of the last full pardons signed was for Emmet Vestal, who was convicted of killing man at Dallas in 1917 but escaped from hospital for the insane and mar ried two women, one of whom bore him six children. Both women recently appeared to plead that his life be spared following his arrest in St. Louis few months ago.
 Replying to District Attorney c. NJ. Chambers of Bexar county (San Antonio) who charged her pardon policy made life and property unsafe" Governor Fergu- son declared she had the indorse- ment of county officials and in most cases all the jurors before grant ing paroles or pardons. She then invited Chambers and Judge McCroy of Bexar county to explain her allegation that Dan Morgan, an escaped convict from Indiana had been released on bond following his arrest at San Antonio and had not been heard of since. The bond has never been paid, she charged.
 T again hurl at this crowd of howers a request to tell the peo- pie what pardons I have issued that have not been founded upon justice and good reasons" she said. Records of the secretary of state show that although the governor has exceeded the record formerly held by her husband, James E. Ferguson, prior to his impeach ment in 1917, he issued more full pardons than his wife has. Fergu- , SOH JOldl SlUOu dL G,ffN, ol "lliti 1,774 were unconditional releases, while his wife had approved 992 full pardons.
 Upwards of 1000 clemency papers have been approved by Mrs. Ferguson since she was defeated by Attorney General Dan Moody in run-off primary August, last. Re- cent surveys show that approxi- mately 5000 persons were confined in state penal institutions as com pared to $500 when Governor Fer guson was inaugurated two years ago.
 Meanwhile, friends of the Fergu- sons were rallying to attack bill introduced when the state legisla- ture convened Tuesday for the re- peal of the measure passed in 1924 granting amnesty to Ferguson fol- lowing his impeachment

|GEHRIG MAY BE
SUCCESSOR TO
KING OF SWAT
Yankee Players Say Columbia
Lou Will Succeed Ruth
When He Passes Out
(BY BILLY EVANS)

Who will succeed Babe Ruth as
the "king Of Swat when he finally
passes out of the baseball picture
and is but a memory?
For seven years, or since 1920
Ruth has been thrilling the sport
world by his remarkable deeds with
a baseball bat. He apparently reached
his peak in 1921, when he made
So home runs, setting record that
will stand for years, if not forever.
Babe Ruth is 33 years old. He
cannot go, on forever. When he had
a poor season in 1925, due to i'll
health, the experts began to count
him out. On the ropes, he did a
comeback that is now baseball his
tory.
Who will succeed Babe Ruth when
he retircs? If you are willing to
take the word Of the New York
Yankees, it will be
LOU GEHRIG!
Began as a Mound Artist
Like Ruth. Gehrig began his
career as pitcher. While at Column
bia University he starred on the
mound. When not pitching, he was
used in the outfield or at first base,
because Of his ability to hit.
When Gehrig Joined the Yankees
for a few days back in 1923, he was
u big husky fellow who showed
promise, but was very green. He
was sent to Hartford for seasoning.
Playing about half the season in
Hartford, he battcd better than 300.
The following season he hit 1863, and
appeared ready. In the fall, after
the close of the minor league race,
he was used in 10 games by the
Yankees and batted an even 500.
Gehrig, big husky fellow, better
than six feet tall and weighing 200
pounds, has great power and soon
began to rival Ruth for distance.
No less person than Babe himself
early named him Buster" because
Of the way he could crash the apple.
Ruth's Logical Successor
Lou Gehrig is Babe Ruth's logical
successor, according to all the Yanks,
and not many Of the opposing
pitchers take issue with the belief.
There is no great JOY for a pitcher
who gets rid of Ruth as the next
man up is Gehrig.
A free swinger like Ruth, Gehrig
strikes out considerable. Often he
looks foolish on certain style ball
only to come back and knock the
same delivery out of the park on the
very next pitch.
As is customary, southpaws dur
ing the early stages Of his career,
gave him plenty Of trouble. How
ever, he has gradually overcome this
weakness, so that he now hits them
almost as consistently as the right
handlers.
A change Of pace always troubles
the free swinger, who has stance
that is best for speed. Gehrig, for
a time, had his troubles with the
slow stuff, but he has practically
overcome it.
A Finished Hitter
Having polished up his faults,
Gehrig is now finished hitter of
great power, who constantly rivals
Ruth for distance.
Last season Gehrig ranked next to
Ruth in total bases and while he only
made 1G home runs, he had AZ doub-
les and 20 triples.
During the first 20 games Of this
year. Gehrig has made seven home
runs, practically half as many as he
made in 1856 games last year. He
hopes to make 40 this season, and,
if he keeps up his great start, should
be able to do it.
