the most provocative and most
sought after in Washington.

White House. is one Of the most
colorful women in Washington. Rec
ognized as an astute political sage.
her advice often is sought by states

she understands their language.
Many a national question is thresh-

Mrs. LonEworth's entertainments

No Deterring Her
Early in this century. when her

shocked Washington BY smoking in

frowned upon by the social leaders Of
the day. but the presidents daughter
was not deferred.

Violent Scene in Jugoslavia During Celebration of
 Anniversary

BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Dec. 1. One man was killed and a policeman was seriously injured during violent scenes at Sagreb which occurred during the eele- bration of the tenth anniversary of the union of Serbs, Greats and Slovenes.
 While officials and represen- tatives were proceeding to the church to celebrate the union, three huge flags were displayed on the cathedral.
 The police forcibly entered the edifice and tore the flags down. A violent scene followed and the people of sagreb generally re- fused to celebrate because of the incident and also the murder of Crotian leaders of Parliament last June.
 Belgrade, however, is bedeeked today in flags and the streets are crowded with happy throngs.

 There is Senate committee busy also concluding an investiga- tion into federal patronage in the south and both the Senate and the House have committees looking into expenditures in the recent na- tional campaign.
 Farm Problem
 Senator McNary of Oregon, chairman of the agriculture com mittee, and co author Of the Mo Nary Haugen bill, is going to make fight for solution of the agri- cultural problem at the short ses- sion. His bill will be among the first introduced and it is a bill on which he expects to have adminis- tration endorsement.
 Just what is the status of the Muscle Shoals bill which Presi- dent Coolidge failed to approve or disapprove is one of the legislative problems of the day.
 The administration contends that the President in failing to affix his signature to the Norris bill ten days after the close of last session killed it. Senator Norris does not think so and is asking the Supreme Court to declare it a law. Meanwhile, congressional leaders are wondering whether, if the bill has been vetoed, it again comes be- fore Congress as other vetoed bills.

Mrs. M. H. Saoin Dies This Afternoon Following

Mrs. M H. Sabin, aged SO years, one of the early pioneers of Ju- neau, and prominent in social and church affairs, died this afternoon at St. Anns Hospital following an illness of a. week. The end was unexpected. a rough she was known to be seriously i'll early this morning 1t was thought she had a chance for recovery.
 Death came directly as a result of heart failure. She suffered an attack of lagrippe week ago. Thursday she was taken to the hospital when inflammatory rheu- matism had developed. The strain on her heart was said to have been too severe and death followed.
 Mrs. Sabin is survived by her husband, Mark II. Sabin. two sons. Charles o. and Harry, both of whom are married, a grandson, the son of Harry M, and sister, Mrs. Phyllis Kingston. who resides in New York State.

Tariff Adjustment

dibl NAIuSbtnCuh
 Further, Mr Hoover and the Vice- President-elect, Senator Cur tis, have declared in favor of tar if adjustment as a part of the incoming administrators farm re- lief plan. It has been pointed out by some that MT. Hoover is power- less to make any recommendation on that score until he takes over the rsins of the presidency. March A.
 Because cf th.s. some of those favoring postponement of farm ac- ton to a special session say that Congress might revise the tariff on some articles this winter and then find it necessary at it's next session 10 provide for additional tariff adju stnents.
 Another Fsctcr
 But aside from the tariff, stin another factor complicating the situation is the kind of farm bill which should be enacted in the event congress tackles the issue this winter. As the Congress elected November does not take office for months, the membership of the House and Senate is the same that enacted the McNary- Haugen farm bill and passed it along to President Coolidge who vetoed the proposal.
 An attempt to override the veto failed in the Senate, and the House, after that happened, did nothing. In both houses at the present time, hardly anybody sug- gests further consideration of the equalization fee provision of the McNary- Haugen bill A number, however, favor enactment of the measure minus the fee clauses. Senator McNary is in the latter class.

Judge Holds Man
In Bad Check Case
Under $1,000 Bond

Walter D. Maxwell, arrested by local
officers on charges Of passing bad
checks had his <'eliminary hearing
before Justice of the Peace w. c..
Jack yesterday afternoon Despite the
pleas of Maxwell and his explanations
that he had simply written checks
on the wrong bank by mistake, Judge
Jack bound him over for trial in the
superior court at Tombstone and set
his bond at $1,000.
Maxwell, unable to secure bond was
remanded to the custody of Chief
Percy Bowden and returned to his cell
in the city jail. The man told a
reporter that he had simply made a
mistake and that he would still be
able to straighten the matter out
without going to trial He prepared a
number of telegrams Monday after
noon which he said would bring him
assistance sufficient to free him on
the charges.
Officers investigating the case said
that they took little stock in Max
wells statements and fingerprinted
the man sending the prints to dozen

supposition that man jailed here
might be wanted in some other place

NO SOAP STOCK
WANTED ADVICE
OF SECRETARY

Warnings have Oeen sent out by
various commercial organizations OF
the state to the people generally to
be On the lookout for soap peddlers.
Not that they will be given a chance
to buy any real soap, but the soap
peddlers referred to are peddling soap
company stock. The people Of Gra-
ham county recently haG some ex-
perience with soap stock agents which
is not yet ended but there is a
forecast that it may not be as salts
factory as people like to have stock
transactions.
The trouble, according to the notices
being sent about to the chambers
of commerce and other organizations,
is that peddlerS who are offering the
stock appear to have nothing but
smooth tongues and attractive stock
certificates to back Up their repre-
sentations. One is reported to have
visited a chamber OF commerce in
the northern part of the state re-
Gently and to have proposed the sale
Of stock in soap company and
when asked for his proposition IN
detail admitted that he had only
his own experience as a soapmaker
to put into the enterprise as mis-
part against the money which the
people were supposed to put into it.
The secretary of that chamber
says that he naturally held the view
that his memberships money was
safer in the bank than in the nfans
soap company and he refused to
bring the matter TO the attention
of his board of directors. And in that
connection, the thought has come to
people in Douglas who have heard
of the story that it might have been
we'll to ask the promoter whether
he was planning to make soft soap
or cake soap, in impressing some that
if he had in mind soft soap he was
well within ,his rights and was pro-
ceeding properly, for a man who
would buy soap stock from o man

his time to put into it was entitled
to use old fashioned soft soap. The

MEXICAN YOUTH
LEARN TO SAVE,
PLAN ARBOR DAY

Something Of what developing q
habit of saving money when they are
in school has just been demonstrated
to the boys and girls of the federal
district schools in Mexico according
to reports reaching Juan Marshall
Mexican consul in Douglas. At the
end of the mid-Winter Semester when
there was large number OF boys
and girls quitting school by graduation
and for other reasons, their with
drawals of their savings from the
banks amounted to the total OF 10000
pesos, or in the American money. that
would have been about $4,000. The
schools of the Mexican IEGeral dis
trict according to Consul Marshall
carefully encourage savings accounts
by the school boys and girls.
Thursday, Feb. 16 has been desig-
mated by the Mexican government as
Arbor Day for the republic. Procla-
nation has been issued and an ap-
peal has been made to school chill
dren and people in general to make
that the occasion of doing some act
to further tree culture and wherever
possible they are urged to plant tree.
During 1927 there were 8O4 new per-
mits issued by the Mexican republic
to allow exploration for oil. Under
those permits there were Z04 pro-
ducing, wells opened with a daily pro-
duction of 383,702 barrels according
to reports reaching the Mexican con-
sulate here. The report does not
state the total number of noles drilled.
The indicated average for the pro-
ducing wells would be 1880 barrels.
It is stated, however, that most drill
ing was done in the area of largest
production.
Exports from Mexico for the month
of October, as shown by reports just
out in the following items were: Ami
NAL products, $8,928; vegetable pro-
ducts, $78,34l; manufactures, $126,56l;
minerals, $2,4O7,866. Total, $2,627,663.
