WASHINGTON. May 27.-As the
Nation acclaims Charles Lindbergh,
the capital remembers another hero,
George Dewey.
Twenty-eight years ago this May
all America was at the feet of the
man who in one battle had van
pushed the pride of the Spanish
armada.
In two years the cheers haA
turned to jeers.
For seven days following the bat
tie of Manila, May /. 1898. the Ma
ton was without authentic report
OF the outcome.
Second AdOred
When complete account did arrive
Americans abandoned themselves to
hero worship never before equaled
and not rivaled until a boy aviator.
after a comparable period of sus-
pense, dropped out of the stars into
Paris.
Like Lindbergh, Dewey fingered in
a foreign country while his country
men rushed preparations for a stu.
pendous home celebration. 1t was
seventeen months before he had
finished his job and he landed in
New York in September, 1899.
New York Wild
New York banked the piers and
roofs as the hero stepped ashore
and it filed the streets as he
marched under a great triumphal
arch in Fifth Avenue to receive
golden loving cup, the citys official
tribute. In his ears rang Dewey
songs and before his eyes danced
newspaper headlines to make a
Caesar envious. a hundred lesser
cities clamored for his presence and
Congress voted him a sword of honor
and the rank of admiral Of the Navy,
an honor never before accorded.
In less than month he made
his first mistake. His countrymen
wished to present him a home in
Washington. The committee called
upon him to ask what kind of a
home he would most desire. He
said he wanted home with small
dining room to seat some eighteen
persons.
There was rumble. A hero
might have a nation at his feet, but
a dining room for eighteen persons
was bit too much
In two months he made another
mistake. He got married. The

VOL LENT ORATORICAL ATTACKS
AGAINST u. S. POLICY HEARD IN
MEXICAN CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES

MEXICO CITY, Jan. R)--Coh-
currently with the going into effect
of the new petroleum and land laws.
at midnight last night, the chamber
of deputies, during the closing hours
of it's midnight session, heard violent
oratorical attacks against the United
States for it's Mexican and Latin
American policies.
There were also bitter criticisms Of
the department of state, unanimous
cheers for President Gales and his
stan dagainst the aggression" OF
the United States, declarations that
Mexico was leading the way toward
consolidation of all Spanish American
peoples against the Nominations of
the United States and the assertion,
amid furious applause, that "Mexicans
may not be successful dollar chasers
or know how to practice dollar
diplomacy like the Yankees, but they
know how to die for their honor and
against foreign aggressions."
The first day the new laws We're
in effect appears to have passed
without incident. The uncertainty Of
the situation continues unchanged
fundamentally it is still case Of
waiting to see whether the Mexican
government actually will confisca.e
any land to which foreign interests
claim title, or leases legally acquired
before 1917 The United States en-
bassy has no news of any confisca

do not report any such development

ARIZONA LEGISLATURE
TO MEET AT 10 A. M. MONDAY;

is due to assemble at 10 o'clock

cal juncture in the states develop
ment program of the Colorado river

recommend the passage of special

Of the department and the employ
ment of engineers and attorneys to
present Arizona,s case at Washington
where the Swing-J johnson Boulder

heretofore, the governor pointed out,
has been content to progress and
develop under the general provisions
Of. the law based upon prior appro-
priation and beneficial consumption
and use of water"
Meanwhile, however, "the general
situation as it affects Arizona has
been endangered and aggravated by
the approval granted to certain
measure known as the SWIM johnson
Boulder canyon dam act" TO meet
this danger, he continued, mo APP
propriation has been made to defray
the expenses of committees repre-
senting Arizona or to employ engi-
neers or attorneys to represent and
protect the interests of Arizona"
When the tri-state river confer
ence adjourned at Los Angeles yes

a compromise proposal advanced by
Nevada for division of the virers

on the amount which California
should pay Arizona for power gen

CHICAGO, Jan. I R-The advens
of 1927 was greeted in Chicago today
by an unusually we'll behaved cltl-
zcnry, and with probably the least
drinking and violence in many years.
Police compared the quietness OF
the day with many of its boisterous
predecessors and prohibition enforce :
ment chiefs declared themselves high
lv pleased with the way merrymaker"
conducted themselves At nightfall
there had been no reports of deaths
or illness from poison liquor.
In automobile mishaps, however, the
city got off to a bad start though
four deaths from motor accidents re-
corded in the first day of the new
year were fewer than those of many
recent New Years days,
IT was a day spent by the fire
sides, and Chicago's streets Were
more desolate than on any other hollis
day, although the day was mild and
with hint of sunshine. Motor
traffic and attendance at matinees
became fairly heavy toward mid
afternoon and tonights gaiety sug-
gested that of a holiday though the
crowds were scarcely greater than
those Of a normal Saturday night.
Prohibition chiefs did not divulge
how much evidence was obtained last
night for possible use in Injunction
proceedings. E.. c. Yellowley, dis
trict administrator, asked his agents
not to arrest drinkers unless their
behavior was flagrant, but to note
any abrogations of the gentleman
agreement by which hotels, road
houses, and night clubs promised tc
make patrons conform to the dry
law.

WASHINGTON, Jan. (Pl-Approval
of the final location of the United

bureau of public roads. 1t consists
OF approximately $4,000 miles of the
most important roads and embraces
ten trans continental routes east and
west and as nan i through routes
north and south
The work of designation has been
under way almost year and was
finally approved by the American
association of state highway officials
in November. The purpose of dcsig-
mating the final location was to
establish main system of highways
for the nation, the unimproved sec
tions of which would be given ::riority
in improvements and to elimination
confusion as to route designation,
marking and safety signs.
A route numbering system by which
all east and west routes bear even

lists in following through highways.
