A PROCLAMATION
Whereas, the eleventh of Novem-
ber, 1913, marked the cessation of the
most destructive, Sanguinary, and far
reaching war in human annals; and
whereas, it is fitting that the re-
curing anniversary of this day should
be connemorated with thanksgiving
and prayers, and by exercises designed
to further the cause of permanent
peace through the maintenance of good
will and friendly relations between ma
tions and
Whereas, by concurrent resolution

GALES, MORROW
MEET over Ham,
EGG BREAKFA
President Invites Ameri-
can Ambassador to
Ranch for Breakfast.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 2 QP-Break-
fast of ham and eggs and hot cakes
brought President Gales and Dwight
w. Morrow. the American ambas~
sador, together this morning at the
presidents ranch near Mexico City.
The American ambassador went to
the ranch on the invitation OF Senor
Gales, who sent the presidential car
tc the United States embassy at $50
in the morning. The two men walked
over the farm, apparently in close
conversation through an interpreter
most of the time
Observers attach significance to
this personal and intimate meeting Of
the president of the republic and the
American ambassador and to the fact
@.iat within a few DAYS after the
ambassador had formally presented
his credentials. President Gales, by
personal invitation, should have estab-
Hshed such personal contact.
What they talked about is not ere
vealed, but the mere fact that such
meeting occurred is being construed
here as highly important develop
ment toward the establishment of
better relations between the Mexican
and United States governments which
both Senor Gales and Mr.. Morrow
in their formal exchanges said they
desired to accomplish.
The breakfast was an informal af-
fair, neither Mexican government nor
embassy officials being present.
The Facienda is one of President
Gales pr.des. He is accustomed to
motor there from Chaptultepec castle
about daylight every day, plough or
work in the fields for an hour Or
more for exercise, clad in the overalls
or working clothes of the laborer.
However, the president did not engage
in farm work this morning. He was
waiting to greet Ambassador Morrow
when the latter arrived about Z
o'clock, and he escorted him per-
sonally to the ranch dining room.
Later ne displayed his blooded cattle
and described his methods of stock
cultivation

Advocate Cut in Corpora
ton Taxes From 1917
to 10 Per Cent:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 s(R-
Through its various trade organiza-
tions, business today placed its argu-
lnent for q reduction in the tax on
incomes Of corporations before the
house ways and means committee, a
majority of the spokesmen adyocat-
ing a. 3 1-2 per cent cut, compared
with IL per cent reduction
recommended by the treasury
Discussion of this levy now Is IL
per cent on corporations net in
come, less certain deductions, occu-
pied the committees attention to the
exclusion of practically all other sub
iects, and witnesses who failed to
suggest a specific cut in the rate
were nevertheless unanimous in urg-
ing that it be pared down as far
as the condition of the treasury would
permit.
While democratic committee mem
bers frequently asked that the cor
poration tax could be cut to 10 per
cent and the total tax reduction held
to the treasury maximum of $685.
100000, the witnesses were not in
clfed to discuss administration
estimates.
Those advocating slash in the
corporation levy to 10 per cent in
cluded Alfred P. Thorn and c. S
Duncan, both of Washington, for the
Association of Railway Executives;
Frank j. Wisner, of Laure1l, Miss,
for the National Lumber Manufac-
tllrers' association, and w. L. Counse,
washington, for the National Whole
sale Druggists association and Ma
tional Cigar Leaf Tobacco associa-
ton.
\ Among those urging larger reduc-
tions in the corporation levy were
H. L. Candy, Washington, for the
National Coal association, and P. w.
Pinkerton, Chicago, for the Illinois
Chamber of Commerce.
Another witness, E. F. Kram, Pitts
burgh, representing the National As
sociation of Taxicab owners, recon-
mended that the owners be given
authority to set up tax free reserve
to meet damage claims.

fishing craft, which was rescued

Port Townsend yesterday by the

A meagre, yet graphic account
of the tragedy which Overcame
the ship shortly after it sailed
from Misaki, Japan, December
S, 1926, was contained in a rude
