HOOVER LEAVES
BATTLESHIP TO
FISH IN OCEAN
Like Average Vacationer, Pres
ident. Elect Ponders Over
Itinerary
OMITS FOUR. COUNTRIES
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Ecua.

nitely Arranged
OMITs FOUR COUNTRIES

U. S. S. Maryland, En- Route to
Amapala, Nov. 21.-(AP)-With the
first half of his Latin-American good
will tour itinerary mapped out, Her.
bert Hoover today turned his
thoughts to his favorite sport. The
Maryland was halted between Cape
San Lucas and Cape Corrientes, we'll
off the Mexican coast, for deep sea
fishing.
The president-elect had in mind
the recent experience of bureau Of
fisheries men in these waters who
hooked a gigantic marlin or sword
fish, playing" it for IA hours be-
fore landing it.
Mr.. Hoover did not hope to snag
a fish of suc., proportions as he does
not want to interrupt the southwark
voyage more than q few hours.
Three of the Maryland's small boats
were ordered out for the fishing cx-
cursion, one containing Mr.. Hoover
and his friends, second carrying
the newspapermen and third laden
with cameramen who unlimbered
their machines for the first time on
the voyage.
The Maryland will proceed south
ward again tonight, making the
first stop of the goodwill tour at
Amapala, Honduras, Sunday. On
that same day the Hoover party will
60 to La Union, Salvador, for an
afternoon reception, leaving Sunday
night for Corinto, Nicaragua, where
a third stop w be made Monday.
A call at Punta Arenas, Costa
RIGA, Tuesday, will complete the
present tour o. central America.
Out of conferences yesterday with
Henry p. Fletcher, ambassador to
Italy, came an announcement of
changes in itinerary. Mr.. Hoover is
doing quite = bit Of rendering of
that itinerary. He is in the predica-
ment Of the average man on q vaca-
ton. His time and the places he
has invitations to visit are out of
proportion.
Panama, Guatemala, Colombia and
Bolivia are omitted from the amend
ed schedule. Nicaragua will be the
third instead of the first call.
Next is Corinto, Nicaragua, on
November 26, then Punta Arenas,
Costa Rica, Guayaquil, Ecuador,
Calloa, Peru, Valparaiso, Chile, De-
cember Z.
After Chile the mountains of the
South American continent are to be
crossed for a visit to Buenos Aires
with visits to Uruguay and Brazil
to be made later.
As the ship goes southwark and
the water takes on q deeper tinge of
color, the weather grows warmer.
Ambassador Fletcher and others ap-
peared in white suits yesterday but
the president-elect's concession to
balmier weather was white shoes.
He watched with interest yester-
day the small guns practice which
involved the turning Of the great
turrets 'on the battleship.

IN TWO DEATHS
Hunter Believed to Have Killed
Self After Accidentally
Killing Pal

Staunton, ILL.,, Nov. 21.-(AP)-
Mute evidence Of remorse over &C.
cidental killing Of a hunting part
ner, was believed seen in the dis
covery southeast Of here today of
the bodies Of George Arnold and
Role Davis, hunters who had been
missing since early yesterday. Both
men had been shot in the head, and

been fired.

then turned It upon himself and
discharge the other barrel.

BOSTON, HARTFORD
 AIR LINE HIGHWAY
Runners of Proposed New Route Concretely Revived At
 Webster

The proposed Boston to Hartford highway, to be built as the crow flies. or as the present air mail pass. es, has been rumored and speculatec upon for some years. It has now again been brought to public atten. tion in a way that assures all inter. ested that the project is not dead noi even sleeping.
 The latest active revival comes from over the Massachusetts state line where blue print plan, gotten out by county commissioners. was exhibited in Webster. Thursday. The plan shown, it is said, would mean almost an air line from Webster to Boston. The same is true from Web ster to Hartford. over the proposed highway in Connecticut, doubtless ap. bearing, at least by suggestion, on on the engineers map shown to off. cials of Webster.
 From Webster the highway leads to Quinebaug, to East Woodstock and thence to Ashford, Westford, Willing ton, Holland. Rockville, Vernon, Manchester, East Hartford and Hart ford. This is almost a straight line and is the route rsed by mail planes to make the shortest possible dis tance between the Hub and the Con. necticut capital.
 While the route does not touch Putnam it makes this city more easily accessible from east and west. Put nam people can connect with the route at Webster, going cast, or East Woodstock, when going to Hart ford.

The Holy Land today may disap- point one because it is so unbelieva- ble small. Its length may be traver- sed in a day; the Sea of Galilee is only half as large as Cayuga Lake in New York State. Jerusalem and Bethlehem may be viewed from a single eminence, so closely are they situated. Despite all this. one is con scious of a profound thrill at visiting the church of the Holy Sepulcher. or Of the Nativity.

Washington, D. C.. February S-- It would appear that Senator Hiram Bingham is likely to lose his prestige as Senatorial authority on Latin America if Senator Samuel NJ. Short ridge of California continues to claim the floor of the Senate for the pur- pose of delivering fowery but sub stantial speeches, well-filled authen- tic information concerning our policy in Latin America. according to the comment in Washington newspapers and in the press gallery of the Senate.
 Senator Shortridge thus far in the Seventieth Session has astounded not only his colleagues on the floor but also the spectators and press gall leries with frequent and well-deliver- ed speeches on the Monroe doctrine on Latin America. During the Sixty ninth session it was Senator Bingham who told the Senate matters of Latin America.
 Last year, Senator Shortridge re- mained a rather silent partner of the Senate. He occupied the floor but seldom and spoke but little. During the present session. however, the Senator from California has been on the floor in the guise of a speech maker on several occasions and at various times has spoken .enthily on America's attitude toward her south ern neighbors.
 Tiison Bill
 The Tilson bill to regulate and con- trol the manufacture, sales and use of weights and measures and devices will probably be amended by the House committee on coinage, weights and measures to which it has been referred. It will be found necessary. it is believed, to change the language of a part of the bill to make certain that the bureau of standards will not cause the establishment of the metric system. Under the present language there is a possibility that the certain provision might be. mis- construed.
 Under the provisions of the bill manufacturers of weights and meas" ures and weighing and measuring de- vices will be required to submit their products 70 the bureau of stand ards for approval before they can be placed legally on the market. If the devices are approved the bureau will assign and register a serial desig-

N1-The torch Killer of Miss Margaret

gasoline soaked body was round flam-
ing like human torch behind q

buried quietly at Fort Lee.

.ooUer Backs Up
Administration In
Flood Control Fight

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a (P)-Secre-
tary Hoover today backed up the
administrations plan OF flood con-
statement and cross examination
before the aenate commerce commit
tee.
Under rather persistent questioning
by the two senators largely respon-
Sible for mis- appearance-HaWes,
democrat, Missouri. and Willis, re-
publican, Ohio-the commerce Secre-
tary approved the floodway, spillway
and levee Strengthening plan of the
war department and insisted that the
policy of state participation in the
cost should be adhered TO.
Refusing to commit himself or the
percentage of cost which should be
borne by the federal government and
the states Of the Mississippi valley
Mr.. Hoover urged consideration OF
the presidents recent suggestion that
q commission should be set up to
study all factors and make its recon-
mendations to congress a year hence
The secretary appeared IN a small
RNAASNN~
chamber, which was crowded with
spectators and newspapermen who
anticipated a clash between this
avowed candidate for the republican
presidential nomination and Senator
Willis, who has promised him fight
without gloves for the OHIO delega-
ton.
But no such clash occurred.
Senator Willis propounded only
three questions, two OF which were
so framed that MI. Hoover need not
have answered them, but he did SO
without hesitation.
Suggesting that his question was
one more Tor determination by
congress than the executive depart.
nent, Senator Willis asked the secre-
tary whether he thought congress
should enact a general flood control
plan and leave details to a commits
sion or whether a definite plan
should be adopted.
my own feeling runs in the di-
rection OF the adoption OF the major
items. a floodway and the strength
ening of levees," Hoover replied. 1T
seems to me that will be the more
constructive plan but again that is
a matter the war department must
advise YOU on"
The Ohio senator then wanted tc
know whether the commission adj
verted to by Mr.. Hoover should study
details OF construction or only the
financial and economic side Of the
flood problem.
Senator, the president suggested
that commission" the secretary re-
piled. "The flood plan is an engi

BRITISH ENVOY
PLACES PEACE
RANK
Britain's Trade Demands
Peace as First Interest
Says Sir Esme
LOSERS BY WAR
Peace on Pacific Depends
On Washington Treaty,
Says Ambassador

CINCINNATI, Feb. "a up = The
first object of Great Britain's foreign
policy is to seek peace, and whenever
necessary help to enforce it, Sir ESme
Howard British ambassador to the
United States said in an address to-
night before the foreign policy as
sociation of Cincinnati.
Predicting that the political develop
ment of the next century would be III
"a great measure transferred from the
Atlantic, which is the European and
American ocean, to the Pacific, which
is American and Asiatic" Sir Esne
pointed out that British interests in
the Pacific as represented by Australia,
New Zealand and India, would be Wit
ally affected by any effort to destroy
the peace of that part of the world.
The countries of Europe through
the league of nations and the Locarno
treaties are gradually working toward
a sense of security" he said, but the
hope for peace in the Pacific depends
largely on the proper functioning OF
the four-power treaty signed at the
Washington arms conference in 1921.
British trade and British influence
demand that the first interest of the
British foreign policy be the mainten-
ance of peace in the world, he declar-
ed, $50 ubiquitous are British trade
and finance that whatever may be the
outcome &c any war we are bound to
be the losers"
There is nothing, you will say, very
ideal about such pacifism as this. I
should be the first to admit it, but at
least our critics must also admit that
inasmuch as it is entirely and openly
and frankly practical, we cannot 6e
accused of hypocritical doing liz
service to peace having war in our
hearts"
The solid basis for the success o1
the four-power treaty in the Pacific,
Sir Esme declared, must ever be a
sense of the common interest OF the
United States and the British COM
monwealth in maintaing peace in the
Pacific region without which sense and
understanding indeed the whole of this
Pacific region policy will be useless ano
of no avail"
Turning specifically to the relation
ship between the United States and
Great Britain, Sir Esme said 1--WE ac-
cept the Monroe doctrine and as We
believe as a part of our political creed
that the United States has no inten-
ton of attacking us, we literally see
no clouds on the peace horizon COM

EXTEND INQUIRY
Will Seek Custody of Stew
art as Soon as Appeal
Is Decided

WASHINGTON Feb "a F-Re-
opening its inquiry tomorrow, the
senate Teapot Dome committee will
reach out into new fields in its
effort to throw the full light OF
Continental Trading company OF
Canada.
One of these fields, Chairman Nye
said today, is the determination
whether the New York branch of the
Dominion Bank of Canada became
the agent of the Continental in the
United States and as such is liable
for the income tax on the S3,080,000
Of profits which that corporation
made in oil deals in this country.
Another is the examination Of
officials of the Dominion bank in an
effort to ascertain the names of
brokers through which the New York
agency of that bank purchased
81 25O90O i'll liberty bonds. the serial
numbers OF which the committee has
been unable to obtain thus far.
Still another is the transactions
between the Continental and the
Western Oil Fields corporation Of
Denver. which it has been disclosed,
sold Oil to the Canadian concern at
about the time the bulk OF the output
of the Mexia and other Texas fields
of the late A. E Humphreys was
going to the Continental fCr re-
sale TO the Sinclair Crude Purchasing
company and the Prairie Oil and Gas
company.
Chairman Nye said that officials OF
the Western Oil Fields corporation
would be called later in an effort
to ascertain how much oil that con-
Germ sold to the Canadian corporation.
The commission chairman also dis
closed that he would introduce a
resolution in the. senate to empower
the sergeant -at-arms to arrest Rob-
