With Emilio Portes Gil scheduled by
the majority blocs of both houses to
be selected as provisional president

whether President Gales will accept a
cabinet post or become head of a pro-
posed new political party.
Naturally President Gales could have
any portfolio he cared for in the cabi-
net of Portes Gil, who now is secretary
of the interior. A movement has been
started to the effect that he could
render valuable service by heading a
new political party to guide the people
in evolving a system of real parties and
democratic elections and government
In his farewell message to Congress,
President Gales said that he was will
ing to continue in the service of the
country in any capacity except that
of his present Office.

trouncing at the hands of the

the committee has arranged for a
local tournament for next Sunday.

ory is that every man will be on
a par with every other player. The
arbitrary handicaps for the days

ley, Bentley, Moulton, Siegfried,
Vibber, Thompson ID; Barnes 15;

comb, Morton, 10; Hatch, 25.
Players will deduct their handi-
caps from the gross scores and
the netwill determine the winners.
Low men will receive the prize
which was put up for the winners
of the blind hole tournament, won
by seven players.
Play viii start at 9:30 Sunday
morning and H. Vibber will cap
tain one side and Bill Muldrow the

FINLEY TEAM
LOSES FIRST
Berry Pickers Win from
Sand Rats in Close
Ball Game Sunday

The baseball setto Sunday be-
tween the Finley Sand Rats and
FerrelPs Berry Pickers was a
tight and fast exhibition of anna
teur ball according to the specta-
tors. Kennewick won 104. but un-
til the last two innings, when the
Finley hurler, Williams, retired,
the Finley men were more than
holding their own.
Up to the beginning of the
eighth inning Kennewick Jagged
behind, the Sand Rats scoring four
to their three. Williams had been
putting the ball past the Kenne-
wick hitters with remarkable pow
er and precision and had allowed
but three hits. Gregerson then
went into the box for Finley. but
lacked the technique of his fellow
player and was wild. The first two
up walked, the next was hit and
took his base--no outs, three men
on. Cecil Boyer then went in as a
pinch hitter for Kennewick and de-
livered. Boyer connected for a
single that scored two. John Alex
ander followed, slamming out a
two Dagger and scoring two more.
That ended Kennewick's party in
that inning, but in the next frame
Finley blew up once more and the
Berry Pickers chalked up three
more points.
Finley will play a return game
with Kennewick Sunday on the To-
cal field, game that should be
tight and worth taking in. Penney
announces his probable lineup as:
John Alexander. c.f.; REGGIE, IS;
Hudnall, 1st; Joe Alexander, If;
Boyer, 3rd; Broughman, End;
Montgomery. c; Hammond. r.f; and
either Klum or HI Smith as pitch
er. The battery for Finley will pro-
badly be Gregerson and CARRIER.

NO DAMAGE
TO FRUIT YET
Heaviest Bloom Ever seen
Now on Trees-Heat
Three Nights

Fruit trees of all kinds thruout
the Kennewick valley are now car
rying the heaviest bloom that has
ever been seen in this section. The
cherry trees, especially, are liter
ally loaded with bloom so heavy
that even the branches are not
visible. Peaches and apricots have
bloomed and the petals have fallen
and wonderful set Of fruit is
hanging on the trees.
The year so far has been almost
a normal one, according to the av-
erage of the past ten years. April
cots blossomed on the 21st of
March this year while the ten-year
average has been April %. The
cool weather, however, has held
the apple blossoms back until the
Winesap bloom is about five days
later this year than the ten-year
average. These figures were sup
piled by Jay Perry, who has kept
record Of the blooming time
since 1917. He also has record
of the frosts which occurred in that
time.
According to his dates there
have been but three years when
the temperature dropped low
enough after this time of the year,
to do any commercial damage to
the tree fruits, tho Strawberries
and asparagus have been nipped
more frequently. The three dates
upon which damage was done to
the tree fruits were in 1922 on the
ninth of May; in 1924 on the 23rd
of April and last year on the 10Th
Day of April.
According to the general aver
age, this year should escape from
damaging frost. Each day, how
ever, while lesSening the probabil-
tiles of frost. puts the fruit buds
in condition more susceptible to
frost damage.
So far there has been no COM
mercial damage done to the fruit.
IN unprotected areas peaches, cots
and cherries suffered from frost
just before Easter, tho in many
places the entire damage is limited
to the lower branches of the trees.
In the heated areas there has been
no damage. So far it has been nee
essary to light the heaters only
three nights. April 5, 6 and z. Some
of the growers only lighted up one
night.
Orchard trees are in a much bet
ter condition this year than ever
before. it is reported.

BAND MEN TO
MEET AGAIN
Musicians of District Are
Asked to Talk Over
Organization Plans

On account of conflict in dates
the band meeting scheduled for
last week was called off. There
will be, however, another one at
the city hall on Tuesday night of
next week, when it is hoped that
the musicians may be able to per-
feet an organization.
Kennewick has enjoyed bands at
several times in her short but inter-
esting career. At one time the local
band numbered twenty-five pieces
and an orchestra of about the same
size. A professional leader was en-
ployed and the musicians gave
public concerts at frequent inter-
walls, which were greatly enjoyed.
At that time the town boasted of
no such advantages as we have to-
day. There was no park in which
to stage the affairs nor were other
advantages nearly SO great.
A canvas of the musical situa-
tion here reveals dozen or more
musicians who have been members
of bands here and at other places.
No doubt others. whom the COM
mittee has failed to get in touch
with, will appear and in due course
join the organization should the
project go through.
In speaking of the proposed ef-
fort Mr.. Beste, one of the leading
spirits in the plan said: "There
are enough players here to get a
fairly good band started. We can
keep it going all right if we get
started. And you might ask the
fellow who now has the bands
baritone horn, to show up at the
meeting land bring the horn along
with him."

PLAN ADVERTISING

The matter of obtaining public
ity for the early products of this
section was brought up before the
Commercial club this noon and a
committee was appointed to in
vestigate the possibilities. Some
sort of advertising which could be
inserted in every package of fruit
leaving this district would get a
tremendous circulation it was
pointed out, and directly into the
hands of the consumers, where it
would be of the most benefit. Sew
eral million packages of fruit are
shipped from Kennewick each year
and if each carried a short mes
sage telling where the product was
grown, it would have a very bene-
fetal result, it was thought. Fur
ther- details of the plan will be
reported at the next meeting of
the club.

SHIP GRASS
IN CARLOADS
Daily Shipments to East.
ern Markets this Week
with Good Prospects


The warm weather of the past
week has brought the asparagus
on with rush, and carload ship.
ments have been made every day
this week with a probability of
three cars started rolling tonight.
From few scattering boxes on
Friday of last week the output in
creased to two cars on Monday.
The markets were in the eastern
cities, the 3-Rivers shipping to
Pittsburgh. Buffalo, Chicago and
Minneapolis.
While the local markets are sag
ging from the express shipments
from the independent shippers of
the valley the eastern demand is
good and severe weather conditions
there are retarding the local grass
and should assure a good market
for some time.to come. Due to the
lateness of our season it was fear.
ed that the period of profitable
cutting would be shortened, but il
is now thought that this will be
averted due to the Slateness of oul
competing districts.
The grass is of exceptionally
high quality which will give it q
favorable introduction into the
markets.
Prices have ranged from $2.2t
down to SITE, which is being
quoted fob. Kennewick today,
with an excellent likelihood of il
remaining at that price for some
time, according to the shippers.

NEW AIR MAIL ENVELOPE

The postoffice department has
announced the approval of a dis
tinctive air mail envelop. This en-
velop has a distinctive border con-
sisting of alternating red and blue
paralellograms, with intervening
spaces between the two, showing
the white envelop, producing red,
white and blue border, some FIVE
thirty-seconds of an inch wide.
This design enables the distribut-
ors in the post offices to readily
recognize these envelops and helps
to guard against any delay in han
ding this class of mail. These en-
velops are not sold by the depart
ment but will be for sale by the
regular stationery stores.

Sixteen of Fascists',, Nc
tins Are Boys

KOENIGSBERG, East Prussia,
April 27.-One hundred and thirty
nine Ukrainian workers and peasants
were yesterday herded into two courts
by the Polish police to face mass
charges of revolutionary activity
against the Pilsudski fascists.
Most of the defendants are Ruthen-
ians and Jews. Sixteen of them are
boys who were still in school at the
time of their arrest in eastern Galicia.
The Polish authorities are deter
mined to make the trial of the Polish
workers and peasants an impressive
and warning event. One hundred and
eighty-three witnesses have b ee n
marshalled by the state against the
defendants, most of them police, spies
and agents, it is alleged. The evil
dence alone fills 81 volumes of 1000
pages each.
Charged with plotting to burn
farms and destroy telephone and rail-
road communication as part of a
scheme to set up an Independent
workers republic in the Polls h
Ukraine. the 139 workers and pea
SAINTS are expected to receive a short
trial
The sixteen boys are charged with
having organized revolutionary So

migrants in Berlin in 1927.

Poems TO SWELL
SANDINO'S RANKS
Americans in Panic at
Sudden Advance

MANAGUA, April 27.--Reports
reaching here from the east coast
state that the greatest anxiety is be-
ing felt by the Americans there over
the threatened approach of the army
of independence under G eneral
Augusta SANDING whose brilliant dash
to the Mosquito region menaces the
entire Caribbean seaboard of Nicara-
qua.
The special detachment Of 300
marines instantly rushed from Corinto
to reinforce the east coast sector has
not arrived and is not expected for
several days. In the meanwhile the
smaller force of marines in Puerto
Cabezas is desperately throwing up
temporary distractions for the de-
tense of the town, which is a short
campaigning distance from General
Sandino's present base.
1t is doubtful, however, that San
dino will attempt to seize the Puerto
Cabezas which is not of any military
value since it is exposed to lombard
ment from the American sea forces,
while the army of independence has
no ships.
Hundreds of poems, men and
women, continue to stream into the
army of independence as the SANDING
: forces advance thru the eastern re.
gion. The Mosquito coast is a strong
hold of SANDING sentiment and his
army is hailed as a deliverer.

SERBIA breads
FASCIST ATTACK

VIENNA, April 27.-Charging that
fascist plans contemplate an i'm
mediate customs union with Albania
which will eventually extend an
Italian protectorate over the whole
country, three Jugo-Slav deputies
yesterday denounced the fascist plots
in the Balkans and demanded to know
whether the Serbian foreign minister
is aware of these projects.
They further demanded to know if
the great powers will stand for such
an invasion and ask if it would not be
better for the League of Nations to
take control of Albania at once, in
order to GUST the Italiaps.
Plans for an invasion of Jugo-
Slavia from Carinthia on the north
! and from Saloniki on the south with
Greece and Bulgaria neutral, are be-
ing perfected by the fascists at pres
ent, according to persistent rumor.
Intense resentment has been caused
turnout Jugo-Slavia by the recent
raid on the Serbian consulate in Milan
in connection with the bomb explosion
there. The fascists made formal
apology but maintain that the con-
SUBS actions justified their act.
