CHANGES PROPOSED
|NH|GHWAY PLANS
~
Commissioners to Hold Pub.
lie Hearing in April on
recommendations.

. The co-ordinating committee Of the
Commission today prepared recon-
mendations for number of changes
IN the highway plan involving pro-
posed streets and roads that are
shown on the highway map, but which
have not yet been opened or extended.
The recommendations will be sent to
the District Commissioners, who will
hold a public hearing on all of them
about the middle of April in time to
enable the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to take final ac-
ton at its monthly meeting on
April %.
In the area west Of Rock Creek
Park and north of Tennyson street
the co-ordinating committee recon-
mends changes in the lines Of Aspen,
Beech, Chestnut and Elm streets.
Connecting Link Proposed.
IN the territory between Foxhall
road, Potomac avenue, u street ana
Edmunds street the committee Is pro-
posing to eliminate from the highway
plan certain short stretches of pro-
posed roadway to provide for street
that would be q connecting link be-
tween the Glover Parkway and Poto-
mac avenue.
Another proposed change lies south
Of the Naval Observatory and Is de-
signed to provide a connection from
Wisconsin avenue and Observatory
Circle in the vicinity of U street. The
recommendations also include street
facilities for development Of the area
east Of Wisconsin avenue and south
Of Observatory Circle.
In the Piney Branch valley a
change is to be recommended east
Of Sixteenth street by which Shep-
pard street would be connected to
the parkway under the Sixteenth
Street Bridge. The committee Is
recommending a change to pro-
vide highway entrance into the area
| east of Bladensburg road lying be-
tween the National Training School
for Boys and the Pennsylvania Rail-
road tracks.
Recommend Cross Town Route.
In order to provide q direct east
and west cross town route to Brook
land the committee is recommending
change on the highway plan by
which Montana avenue and Franklin
street would be connected to Michi
gan avenue at n point between the
grounds of Trinity College and Glen
wood Cemetery. IT was explained by
officials Of the committee that this
change was recommended because
it Is planned eventually to have q
bridge to carry Franklin street
across the Baltimore e. Ohio Rail-
, road tracks.
The final recommendation is for the
extension of Mount Olivet road east
from Bladensburg road to M street,
which eventually will become an APP
proach to the upper Anacostia Park.
This recommendation includes provi-
sion for laying off a circle on Mary
land avenue at the summit Of the hill
in the line of Twentieth street north
east.
All of these proposed changes pre-
viously had been gone over by heads
OF departments in the District govern
ment and were given final study by
the co-ordinating committee, of which
Maj. Cary II. Brown is chairman, to.
day before being submitted to the
Commissioners for public hearing.

10 Planes Raid"
Panama Canal at
Night With Ease

PANAMA, March 29.--The ease
with which the Panama Canal
could be raided by air at night
was demonstrated last night when
10 airplanes successfully ''evaded"
land batteries and searchlights and
approached within effective bomb
ing distance of the canal locks on
the Pacific side. Flares released
by the planes indicated that they
had been successful in out
maneuvering the searchlights.
During the exercise, which lasted
two hours, four planes theoretically
were shot down.

PACT WITH MEXICO
ON SMUGGLING Off
Terminating of Treaty Ends
Need of Notifying of Arms
Shipment if Ban Lifted.

The anti-smuggling treaty with
Mexico, entered into a year ago pfl,
narily TO. prevent illegal shipments or
liquor into the United States. was
terminated last night in accordance
with the State Department recent
notification to the Mexico CITY gov
eminent.
Termination Of the smuggling
treaty has an important bearing on
the embargo placed by the American
Government on the shipment OF arms
and other munitions in Mexico. So
long as the smuggling treaty was eff
fectiye the Washington Government
FOR d period Of one month, in event
the arms embargo was lifted, would
have been required to notify the
Mexican authorities in advance OF All
shipments of arms into Mexico, along
with the names of the parties TO
whom such arms were consigned
Threat Made Greater.
Now that the smuggling treaty is
ended. this barrier to unreported ship
rnents of arms has been removed.
It makes the threat imposed in the
arms emt argo more effective than
heretofory. for the embargo can be
raised a. Any time the American GOV
eminent aces fit to pursue this policy.
Repor s that the arms embargo
would be raised were current in Wash
ington last week, when it was decided
TO abrogate the anti-smuggling treaty.
but the state Department has denied
that any consideration has been given
recently to such a step. Any lifting
of the embargo at this time. it IS adj
,nitted In official circles, would make 1t
possible for revolutionary forces IN
Mexico to secure arms from the United
States and thus threaten the over
throw of the established Mexican gov
eminent.

Will Have Little Effect.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Andrews said today that denunciation
of the smuggling treaty would not af-
feet seriously the assignment of Gus
toms agents or officials on duty with
the border patrol. It was not in effect
long enough to be tested, he explained,
and predicted that its abrogation would
not affect smuggling into the United
States.
Whatever steps the state Depart
ment may have taken to negotiate a
treaty Of amity and commerce with
Mexico, as one result of the tern1ina-
ton Of the smuggling pact, have met
with practically no favorable response
from Mexico City. This Government
has done no more than sound out"
the attitude of the Gales administra-
ton with respect to a commercial
treaty, but reports from Mexico City
indicate that the Mexican government
does not desire to negotiate such q
treaty while the relations between the
two governments are still somewhat
strained.

INDIAN HE|RESS, 70,
. THOUGHT KIDNAPPED
Agents Speed Search for Girl,
Traced With Youth to
Farm House.

by tine AsSOt1abeU 1FeSd
MUSKOGEE, Okla. March p
Fears Of mistreatment by kidnapers
today caused Oklahoma Indian agents
to speed a search Of isolated places
for Mile Naharkey, 20-year-old Creek
heiress, who disappeared from her
home here Saturday.
Although authorities had but little
information on which to base their
search, they believed her abduction
may be linked with an attempt to
gain control of her fortune five years
ago, when she was taken from her
home at Red Fork to the Roaring
River country of Missouri
T. n. Roach and his wife. with
whom she lived since her abduction
in 1922. told officers she left with q
youth driving an automobile bearing
a Kansas license. The girl intro
duced the youth as a friend she met
while visiting Mrs. Roach's sister at
Oswego. Kans. She said they were
going to q motion picture show here.
Traced to Farmhouse.
The pair We're traced to farmhouse
near Tulsa, where they stopped short
time Sunday. The trail ended there

lahoma, southern Kansas and Mis-
souri, joined in the hunt.
When she was discovered washing
dishes in a Kansas City cafe in 1922
she told of attempts OF her abductora
to obtain a part Of her inheritance,
valued at 100000. She said her kid
napers rolled dice to determine who
would strike her or otherwise mis-
treat her. On her return she found
her estate involved in litigation which,
her friends alleged, grew out of con-
cessions she made while prisoner on
Roaring River.
Previous Inquiry Extended.
Federal authorities also extended an
investigation of her connection with
two cases charging two Tulsa men
with giving liquor to an Indian and
of violation of the Mann act. The men
were convicted on the liquor charge
at trial at which she appeared as
star witness.
An appeal Is pending on the liquor
verdict, while the second case, in which
she is listed as chief prosecution Wit
ness, had not been called.
During litigation to fix the status or
her estate, she was left virtually with
out funds as her income was derived
entirely from property left by her par
ents. Her government headlight failed
to produce sufficient revenue TO sup
port her.

Hobby Is Stamp Collecting.

affairs that furnish a wealthy back
ground to his Grafton last night. He

OF England, and once through high
school, he says he wants to go to
Harvard University to prepare for the
diplomatic service-and through those
years at college he must work his

sort of way.
In his fight for oratorical honors,
John defeated six girls of his own
school and he says he believes he can
cheat any girl" But he was speaking
then of girls in oratorical contests and
not eIseWhere-er-a-t is another
matter. When he got home last night,
he explained to his waiting mother
and teacher that after the party" at
Mr.. Ludwig's home. he had taken
a-er "what's-name home there
was a peculiar sort of glance cast at
the reporter.
Johns next oratorical battle will be
Anril 7. when he meets the winners
of the Manassas, Leesburg and Falls
Church group meetings, for the honor
of representing the Virginia district in
The Star finals, May 4, and for the
cash prize of 800.
School Spirit Evidenced.
The meeting at Manassas was one
in which school spirit was predomi-
nant factor. Enthusiastic contingents
from the two visiting schools with the
home student body of the Manassas
High School supplied the contest with
excitable witnesses for the. efforts of
the young orators. Music was fur
nished by the school orchestra of the
Manassas institution and went far to
alleviate the suffering of the tense
$50 students and parent supporters.

The Scolding of Senator Fess
tMinneapolis JournaD


Mr.. Coolidge, it appears. has taken his good

Ever since the famous ten words were handed
out in typewriter precision to the reporters
in the Black Hills. he has been going about de-
claring that Mr.. Coolidge can and will be draft

prediction without offense. But for the presi-

concern most public men, it troubles Mr.. Cool
idge greatly-so greatly, in fact, that, for the
first time so far as known, since the Black
Hills surprise. he has broken his silence long
enough to scold Senator Fess.
The senator has done what he could to clear
the president Of completely in any draft Cool

fession Of the scolding he got. But Mr.. Fess

The Right to Kill

AL England is talking Of the case Of father

sare her from further suffering from a So
called incurable disease.
The judge before whom this father was tried
for murder told the jury that it might coz

and q suffering animal He said that if it had
been an animal instead Of child, putting II
out Of its suffering would have been praised
instead Of being blamed. And so the jury ac-
quilted the father.
While many British newspapers approve the
acquittal, all of them do so on the ground that
the case is exceptional, and all declare that
here should be no relaxing Of the laws pro
