WOMAN MAYOR
OF SEATTLE Is
OUT OF OFFICE.

SEATTLE, Wash. March IA Q4-
Mrs. Bertha X. Landes, WHO two
years ago was chosen by the voters
of. Seattle to be the frs woman
to manage the destinies OF an Amer
lean metropolitan city, has been swept
out of office again by a majority OF
mere than $4,000 votes.
Frank Edwards, a retired theatef
operator, and virtually politically un-
known until few weeks ago. was
elected to succeed her. FIe will take
office next June A. Edwards received
58,873 votes compared with 39,319 for
Mrs. Landes.
A municipal election record was set
for Seattle when more than 100000
persons went to the polls to decide
a dozen issues. This total had never
before been reached IN city election
here.
An investigation into Edwards
primary campaign expenditures was
instituted Monday by King County
Prosecutor Ewing d. Colvin, after one
of the mayor-elect's managers had
acknowledged that more
money had been spent than the
$1,000 reported in the official eX-
pense statement. Fifteen thousand
dollars is the salary OF, the mayor

Los ANGELES TO
PROBE COLLAPSE
ST. FRANCIS DAM

LOS ANGELES, March IA tR-The
city council today moved to enlist the
services of Elwood Mead, director OF
the United States reclamation service,
to head a committee of investigation
into the st. Francis dam break.
A resolution asking Mead to assume
the Craftsmanship OF a body whose
membership would be appointed by
the American Society of Civil Engi-
neers was passed by the city council.
The action followed a meeting of the
city water and power commissioners
at which thorough investigation of
the break that caused the catastrophe
in the Santa Clara river valley was
voted.
City and state officials, together
with engineers and geologists spent the
day at the site of the ruptured but

The ground structure on both sides
of the dam will be examined by a
committee of geologists appointed by
the water and power commissioners

as soon as possible.
The resolution requesting Mead to-,
participate in the inquiry was trans
mitted to the commissioner but no
reply had been received tonight.

''Neigrborhoods loyal to their stores

Trade at Home Week" is planned
to give business firms an opportunity
to demonstrate that they give greater
values than outside firms, entirely
aside from the support they give the
community in other ways; to give pro-

generally chance to tell how they
beat outside people and transients ir
value of service; to give Arizona pro-

HUNCARIANS IN
KOSSUTH'S NAME

NEW YORK, March "a lR-The Of
ficial delegation of the Hungarian
government, here for the dedication
tomorrow on Riverside Drive of a
statue to Louis KosSuth, Hungarian
patriot, received the city's welcome
from Mayor Walker today in the same
chamber. of city hall in which Kossuth
was welcomed in 1851.
There was no disturbance at today's
ceremonies such as the conflict when
the delegation landed last evening,
between police and demonstrators op-
posed to Admiral Nicholas Horthy, re-
gent of Hungary.
The opposition today confined it
self to distributing handbills under the
noses of hundreds of police.
Mayor Walker, in welcoming the
delegation of four hundred and eighty,
said: The mayor of the city of New
York, born of an immigrant father,
born with an innate constitutional love
for liberty and freedom, feels in the
pilgrimage of the distinguished visitors
who have come to the city today,
something in common and that some
thing is the great love that you have
for liberty and freedom"
Baron Perenyi responded for the
delegates and another speaker was the
mayor of Budapest who presented q
bronze statute of an historical subject
to the New York mayor.

OIL BOND PROBE
Is SHIFTED TO
CHICAGO TODAY

WASHINGTON, March IA (R-The
branching trial of the senate oil in
vestigation led toward Chicago tonight,
as two members of the Teapot Dome
committee-Nye and Norbeck-headed
for that city to explore further ram
ifications of the Sinclair Continental
liberty bond transactions.
AS a Subcommittee, the two in
vestigators will hold hearings in Chi
cago tomorrow, Friday and Saturday.
From the two score of witnesses, who
have been summoned, they hope to get
a line on how some of the bonds con-
tributed by Harry F.. Sinclair toward
wiping out the the 1920 campaign de-
ficit OF the republican party were used.
There may be other developments.
Nye, who is chairman of the COM
mittee that has established that Sim
clair in 1923, gave Will H. Hays $780,
900 in securities for political purposes,
and his republican colleague from
South Dakota, left for the west today,
the committee, which came as an anti
climax to the appearance before 1t
yesterday of secretary Mellon, Will
liam NJ. Butler, chairman OF the re-
publican national committee, and Hays.
While they were making their way
to Union station, Senator CaraWay,
democrat, Arkansas, brought up the
Teapot Dome oil scandal in the senate.
He referred to Hays, former post
master general and chairman OF the
republican committee during the Hard
ing campaign eight years ago as a
'fence" disposing of the stolen goods
and aiding the thief to find a market.
Caraway also made caustic reference
to Mellon and Butler, who yesterday
testified that late in 1928 Hays sought
unsuccessfully to place some bonds
with them, and in turn to have them
make substantial contributions toward
cancelling the 1920 campaign debt.
Secretary Mellon said he understood
the bonds came from Sinclair, but Mr..
Butler told the Investigators that he
knew nothing whatever about the
source of the bonds rendered him by
Hays, knew of no one who got any OF
the Sinclair bonds except as brought
out by committee testimony, and never
had anything to do with Sinclair Or
with Hays plan to dispose of the SIN
clair securities.

about the Hays-Sinclair bond plan and
kept silent about it was lacking in

CONGRESS IS in
Low GEAR; MANY
BILLS ON FLOOR

WASHINGTON. March IA P--
Congress was back in low gear today,
so far as its big problems arc
concerned. The house did four hours
work to get % bills Off its consent
program, 36 others being blocked by
objections; while the senate got de-
bate going on the emergency war ilme
officers retirement plan.
= Also, the house turned in
$36,000000 slash Of the senates
$40,000,000 plan for reforestation and
conservation in watersheds which will
cause a row in the senate. Senator
NcNary. senate champion of the pro-
gram, intends to ask disagreement
with the house and settle the affair
in conference.
The senate did a little mopping
up ON small bills before it goS into
the emergency officers retirement
matter, which is an aftermath Of the
World war. After its talk fest on
that subject, it ratified the supple
mental extradition treaty with Hon.
duras and confirmed nominations OF
small flock of postmasters and the
like.
The recent headliner among senate
committees, the Teapot Dome investi-
gators, moved to Chicago during the
day, still wondering just what became
of all those Sinclair Continental
liberty bonds it has been pursuing for
months. Before going it inquired
of few more witnesses here without
very sensational results.
The cotton slump inquiry got ready
for cross table meeting OF attacker
and attacked in the allegations about
market rigging last year, completing
its direct examination of w. l.. Clay
ton, Of Houston, Texas, tine attacked.
Arthur r. Marsh, of New York,
attacker, will be heard tomorrow.
| The coal committee heard from a
self-styled human engineer" in
! seeking information as to varied
i aspects of company activities and also
more denial of operator railroad wage
reduction conspiracy charges, this
time from the New York Central
railroad.
The territories committee put
through to the senate the bill for q
congressional board of visitors for
the Philippines and the foreign re-
laticns committee set the seal OF
approval ON the Washington radio
convention to straighten out inter-
national air communication tangles.
House committees were at work on
Muscle Shoals ard the merchant
marine policy problem, but with no
action taken. The senates Muscle
Shoals resolution is still to be digested
! in committee over in the house.
The shipping board, however,
staunchly supported assertions that
insurance rate discrimination against
American ships is helping to hold
back development OF the seagoing
business under the American flag.
That; an element OF the policy ques-
tor, involving possible government
marine insurance activities.

patriotism, Senator CaraWay said:
1.-THE man who has information of q
crime and conceals it never can go
before the American public and say
that he is innocent"
The house also produced an echo Of
the oil case, Chairman Oldfield of the
democratic congressional campaign
committee, issuing a statement calling
on President Coolidge to effect a
"house cleaning" in the republican
party Olufield asserted that whether
President Coolidge knew or not, GER
tain cabinet members knew that at
least Z part of the loot of the Teapot
Dome oil transaction was used to fl
nance the republican party"
One other development today con-
cerned Robert w. Stewart, chairman OF
the board of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana. He will be arraigned
in District of Columbia supreme court
tomorrow on the indictment charging
him with contempt for his refusal to
answer the senate committees queS-
tions concerning the Continental lib
erty bonds.
At it's brief session today, the in
vestigating committee vainly sought
light on the disposition the late Fred
W. Upham, who was treasurer OF the
republican national committee, made
of a 100000 batcll of bones Hays
testified he turned. over to him, after
receiving them from the lessee OF the
Teapot Dome naval oil reserve.
O. Van Leonard, secretary to Up
ham at the time, testified that he
knew nothing of any such securities
He also corroborated previous teSti-
mony that Upham destroyed the IL
nancial records of the republican party
from 1918 through 1922 except for GER
tain index cards, after preserving them
the Is months required by law, and
said he was certain his former employ
er never had correspondence about the
naval oil reserves.
Much of the questioning of Leonard
was done by Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, the democratic committee prose-
cutor, who will not be present at the
Chicago hearings at the last minute
Senator Norbeck made the trip in the
place of Senator Bratton, democrat,
New Mexico who was unable to leave
the capital.
One of the announced purposes of
the Chicago inquiry will be to deter
mine to what extent Upham doled out
the Sinclair bonds to business men,
who were then called on to make
equivalent contributions to the repub-
lican party campaign chest.
James A. Patten, theVChicago COM
mission merchant, recently testified
Upham gave him $4,000 in bonds,
which he later turned over to hos
pital, and in turn received a campaign
contribution Of that amount.

would have clearly pointed out the
limited benefits derived by farmers
from many agricultural tariff rates" :"
He declared that duties in the
tariff act of 1922 which may be
raised or lowered under the flexible
provisions, were purposely placed high
by congress in the expectation That
there would later be many more re-
ductions than increases in rates by
the president
Yet, he points out, that OF 80
reports in such cases by the commits
sion in the past five years, the
president has proclaimed 18 increases
in tariff rates, some "of much tariff
significance" and five decreases OF
little tariff Importance" among the
decreased duties being those on bob
white quail, mill feed and paintbrush
handles.
Mr.. Costigan said that his future
plans were indefinite, but tnat he
contemplated motor trip to his
home in Colorado and PROBABLY would

REYNOLDS HAD
BEEN 30 YEARS IN
CUSTOMS SERVICE
Inspector Who Died at NacO
Wounded by Bullet in
Mexican Revolution

Richard r. Reynolds, who died a
few days ago at Naco and who for
more than 80 years had been in the
u. S. customs service as an in
spector was probably one of the best
known inspectors on the Arizona bor-
der, according to men who have Seen
many years in that service. He mad
served for periods at every port on
the Arizona border but of recent years
most of his time had been passed
at the port of Naco. He was at one
time in the mounted service. 1t was
there he was wounded during the
revolution in Mexico and it was there,
also, that something near a year
ago he came close to death second
time but on that occasion when some
driver of an auto ran him down
while he was performing his duty
Reynolds was in his SEVENTEEN year.
He had not been actively on duty
since he was injured by the autoist's
RECKLESS act in running him down.
When he was ON duty during the
Mexican revolution, he was standing
in front of a hotel at Naco when a
bullet wounded him in his right leg.
That incapacitated him Tor a time.
When he was run down by the auto
mobile last year it was his left leg
thu was broken.
Reynolds is survived by a son and
two daughters, all residents of Cali
fornia. The son came for the body

The Secretive movements of the

manner in which the bids were

ment engineers into the district to

termine upon a policy to the best
interests of the Indian.
After this Matthew Vaniclen, one
