BURROS SERENADE
SANTAFE At NIGHT
Mayor Orders Animals Killed,
but Public Protests Stopped
Destruction.
Rv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SANTA FE, N. Mex, December A.
Stray burros are a greater problem
than stray dogs in this quaint city
where old Spain mingles with the wild
West.
Mayor Jim McConvery knows some
thing ought to be done about the prob
lem, but he doesn't know what that
something ought to be.
Every night the telephone interrupts
the mayors sleep, and some indignant
citizen informs Mayor Jim he is indig-
nant because a stray minstrel, with long
rhythmic ears, is serenading beneath
the bedroom window. The mayor ex-
presses his sympathy, for he, too, knows
That braylng burro can be a nuisance.
just like a dingling telephone, during
the hours intended for slumber.
The stray burros have been driven
out OF town. But they have found the
way back, for they seem to be fond
OF the governors plaza, where they
can nibble leaves off low-hanging trees.
Once the mayor signed a decree for
the execution of the idle burros, but
public opinion compelled him to re-
scind it.
First we had hard time finding
some one without qualms of conscience
over taking the life of a burro," NC
Convery relates. when we did find
willing executioner, there was a storm
of protest from the pro-burro faction,
which accused us of trying to destroy
the towns most, atmospheric asset"
Besides decorating the Landscape,
burros serve only one useful purpose
in New Mexico. The natives use them
as pack animals for bringing wood and
fagots from the mountains. Since there
Is little demand for fuel in this South
ern climate, a surplus of burros is in
evitable. The wood dealer may have
a pack of six, and when they get too
old for their burdens, he turns them
loose and catches some younger ones.
Motor tourists frequently are stopped
by burros on the county roads. To
the blare of the automobile horn, they
respond with blare or two of their
own, and finally they saunter leisurely
very leisurely-out of the way

CITIZENS REQUEST
SCHOOL EXPANSION
Addition of Another Unit to
System Is Favored by
Manor Park Group.

Request for additional school facili-
ties in their community and indorse-
ment of plan to add another school
unit to the public school system of the
city featured the monthly meeting of
the Manor Park Citizens Association in
the John Greenleaf Whittier School,
Fifth and Sheridan streets, last night
Noting that the Board of Education
has recently recommended the estab-
lishment of junior college--a project
which the Manor Park citizens claim
they suggested four years ago-the
association again went on record as
favoring such an institution. Herbert
Bryant, chairman of the committee on
schools and education, who introduced
a resolution to that effect, explained
that the junior college would make it
possible for students to go direct from
it to any of the higher universities of
the country.
More POrtables Sought.
Faced with the possibility of the pres
ent oyercrowded condition of the Whit
tier School being augmented by an
influx of additional students in .Febru-
ary, the association urgently requested
the Board of Education to Immediately
provide additional portables at that
building.
Although the fight at the last meet
ing of the Federation of Citizens AsSo-
Citations was officially reported and
commented on by several speakers, the
sentiment was repeatedly expressed that
DR.. George c. Havenner was response
BILE for his own appointments as presi-
dent of the federation and no action
was taken.
Charges that there was considerable
overlapping and resultant waste in
street Surfacing operations of the Dis
trict were referred to a committee for
investigation. A resolution was passed
asking the Capital Traction Co. to re-
move the trolley poles on Third street
from Kennedy to Whittier streets from
the center to the side of the thorough
fare.

INSANITY CAUSES SUICIDE.
American Student in England Ends
Life With Coal Gas.

CAMBRIDGE, England, December 4
R).-The coroner yesterday returned a
verdict of suicide during temporary
insanity at the termination of an in
ouiry into the death of George Roland
Robinson, an American student at
Downing College, who was found dead
in his rooms Saturday with a gas Jet
turned on. Death was caused by coal
gas poisoning.
Robinson left a written statement
which the coroner however, said he
did not propose to make public. The
verdict said that Robinson evidently
was suffering from depression due to
infantile paralysis which had left him
somewhat handicapped.

Sir Austen Chamberlain Speaks on
German Occupation.
LONDON, December 4 (P).-Sir Austen
Chamberlain, foreign secretary, told the
House of Commons yesterday that Great
Britain would welcome early evacua-

British and Belgian forces. He favored
this evacuation, irrespective of the
legal rights of the governments to
continue their occupation until the ex-

treaty of Versailles.
Sir Austen found opportunity to
make this statement when he was

AROUSES GERMANS
Foreign Secretary Says De-
mand for Withdrawal of
Troops Not Justified.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, December 4.-Political
circles IN Berlin appear considerably
upset by a section OF statement made
in the House Of Commons yesterday
by Sir Austen Chamberlain, British
foreign secretary, on Rhineland occupa-
ton and reparations.
The part they complain of is that
in which Sir Austen was quoted as
saying that on the question of law
there was no legal Justification for the
contention that Germany had complied
with all the obligations imposed by
The treaty of Versailles as to entitle
her under article 431, or otherwise, to
demand withdrawal of the occupying
troops before the expiration of the
period laid down in the treaty.
This statement is construed as mean
ing that Germany can demand full
filment of article 431 only when she
has entirely carried out her repara-
tions obligations and is declared 10
prejudice the present international
situation.
1t is believed that when DR.. Gustave
Stresemann meets Sir Austen at Lugano
during the coming meeting of the
Council of the League of Nations the
German foreign minister will ask him
if this revival of the Versailles spirit
is deliberate and will express the
opinion that it is calculated to ieop-
ardize the principles of the Locarno
policy
The few Berlin papers which COM
mented on Sir AuSten'S declaration ex-
press indignation at this part of it.

FINANCIAL.

New York, Nov. 1O.-(AP)-Wall
street inaugurated the Hoover
Market" this week with a gigantic
outburst Of buying, which over
whelmed the trading facilities Of
the exchange, sent scores of issues
to record high levels and created the
second largest session in history.
So great was the volume Of trading
that on Thursday and Friday the
ticker was more than an hour late
in recording the final quotations,
total sales running around 5,0O0,00
shares each day.
Although Hoover's election was
generally conceded in Wall street,
as shown by the fact that he was q
5 to ] favorite in the betting odds,
the market swung upward on the
morning after election and with the
exception Of q brief reaction just
before the close Thursday, continued
to climb for the rest Of the week.
High priced specialties were whirled
up 10 to % points as "bears," who
had sold heavily in anticipation Of q
technical reaction, were driven ia
cover.
Favorable earnings and dividend
statements and reports of further
improvement in the oil, copper and
steel industries provided the back
ground for the advance, which EN-.
braced the railroad shares a. q
group for the first time in months.
The Radio corporation published
the best third quarter report in its
history, showing earnings of $4.22
a share on the common stock in that
period. This was followed by a
sensational advance Of 81 points in
that issue to q new high record at
27O, but more than half the gain was
lost.
Public utilities, which. were
brought into the political spotlight
by the divergent views Of the two
leading presidential candidates on
the power issues, surged forward in
impressive fashion. Montgomery
Ward ran up to . new high record
at $3.50. Coty, Jewel Tea, General
Electric and many other high priced
issues also toppled their previous
peak prices.
In order to facilitate trading,
pending the installation Of the new
and speedier tickers, the New York
stock exchange decided to eliminate
sales volume Of transactions below
500 shares from the tape, except for
q brief period at the opening. In
auguration Of the system will be de-
layed until arrangements can be
made to provide sales figures over q

Sweet Clover Soil Is
Best for Seeding Corn

North Dakota corn for earlier ma
turity should be planted on soil
which in the year previous raised q
full crop of sweet clover, according
to observations made at the North
Dakota agricultural experiment sta
ton at Fargo.
Corn planted in such a rotation
terminates quicker and continues to
advance more rapidly than on land
planted to small grains the previous
year, according to P. j. Olson, assist
ant agronomist.
The degree of difference between
sweet clover and small grain land
depends to large extent upon the
character, he said, as on lighter
soils the difference would be small.
However. the fertility which sweet
clover adds to the lighter soil also
has the effect of stimulating the
growth of the corn and therefore
brings it to maturity at all earlier
date.

State Will Have Regional In.
stead of District Basketball
Journeys

! Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 10-Out-
standing in the measures passed by
the North Dakota State Board of
Athlete control, held in conjunction
with the annual meeting of the
North Dakota Education association
here, was that Of the 20 year rule.
The measure becomes effective in
the fall Of 1929. That is, students
who have attained their goth birth
day will be ineligible for competition
in state high school athletics. The
present limit is ,21.
Another important measure pre-
pared today was that 10 district bas-
ketball tournaments be held in the
state, these district titlists to meet
in a regional tournament, four for
each region, and the two winners
represent the region at the state
tournament.
This plan will do away with the
present plan of holding subdistrict
and district tournaments. 1t will
also permit two strong teams which
are in one district as at present to
60 to the state tourney whereas enc
strong team from one district and a
weak team from a neighboring dis
trict are represented at times.
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate the feasibility of this plan.
This committee will report to the
state board before Jan. l and the
board has the right to reject or &C.
cept it's proposal.
An amendment was proposed to
the constitution of the body that the
annual election Of officers take place
at the fall instead of the spring
meeting. This amendment will come
up for a final vote at the spring
meeting Of the board.
Recommendations for officials for
the state basketball tournament, to
be held in Mandan in March were
made. Bee Lawler and Bob Thomp-
son, both of Minneapolis, were rec
commended and their acceptance
hinges upon their appointment as
officials.
A record for attendance at the
meeting was established.

The United States department of ag-
riculture has appointed a committee
from 10 agricultural organizations
Of the southwest to solve problem
created by an alleged lack of uni
formity in applying grades on DAM
aged wheat.
Grain shippers of the southwest
have threatened to demand a repeal
of the grain standards act because
OF reputed discrepancies and "too
technical application" Of the statute.
w. M. Jardine, secretary of agri-
culture, called meeting yesterday
to investigate complaints. The strict
application of the federal grading
system, farmers declared, has ere
ated heavy discounts on the prices Of
all wheat. no matter how slightly
damaged it may have been. A. J.

division at Washington, said the gov
crnment desired to receive first-h hand
information as to what constituted
damaged wheat.

they should be changed" he said.
