WHAT ERIE DID

The city Of New London, Conn., has been trying to
induce the Navy Department TO tow Admiral far-
ragsts famous old flagship. the Hartford, from its
present berth at Charleston IS. c. navy yard to
New Lcndon, where could be maintained as an object
OF patriotic interest Ior all citizens.
The Nav1 Department. however reports that the
Hartford is too unseaWorthy stand the trip, and says
that it has 10 funds with which repair it. The Job
undoubtedly would be eXpensiVe it is costing S600OOO
to recondition the Constitution, and the HARTFORD
while not Sc old, is larger
New London would deserve the thanks Of the
nation if it raised the money itself Erie, Pa, did
that for two Of Perrys famous fighting ships and the
vessels are now at Erie delight to thousands
Of tourists annually New London might find it an
excellent investment to copy Erie and bring the Hart
ford north at its own expense.

The officials IN the police prosecutors Office at
Tero have ma de an interesting discovery about hu
nan nature. When person comes in to swear out
warrant against neghbor for some petty cftense the|
found that in the vast majority of eases he does not
come back at all.
In other words people do revengeful things on
impulse that they do not do on second thought Nhen
they have suffered wrong their first impulse IS
10 get even so they hurry tie prosecutors but when
they are given q hours in which to ponder the matter
they usually decide that revenge isn't really worth hay
tsg So the warrants go unssued.
Somehow, that discovery strikes Us as rather en-
couraglng and significant commentary on human ma
tuEe.

DISPUTE
By PIERCE MILLER
International News Service

President Hoover, within the next
S6 hours, is expected to announce
the settlement of the Tacna-Ariea
boundary dispute between Peru and
Chile, which has menaced the peace
between the two countries for almost
half a century.
Secretary of State Stinlson was ex-
pecting word from President Leguia,
of Peru, and the American and Chill
can ambassadors at the Peruvian
capital, of an agreement on certain
language differences, which have
been holding UP the accord, reached
in principle. a few weeks ago.
Coolidge Arbiter
President Hoover has been asked
by both governments to- make the
announce..,ent, because as President
of the United States, he inherited
the role Of arbiter in which former
President Coolidge was cast in 1925.

the terms of the treaty of Ancon

pute with Chill over boundaries in
the rich nitrate country; and had
called on her ally to aid her.
Not only did Peru lose her vast
territory, but Bolivia lost her prov

LARGE SCHOOLS
ADVOCATED

William J. Cooper United States
Commissioner of Education, in a
statement issued yesterday, advo-
Gated the replacement of the little
red school house" by competently
stated rural educational institu.
tions and suggested that the States
make complete survey of their
respective systems of instruction.
Trained supervisors to direct
groups of rural schools, new plan
of school fiance, better qualified
teachers, the fixing of professional
standards for instructors by the
State rather than by local school
boards, and better salaries, =, are
among the features mentioned by
Cooper to raise country schools to
the same level of efficiency as city
schools.
Cooper said:
I'VE need a unit of administra.
tion much larger than that served
by the one-teacher school. The area
of administration should be large
enough to support a complete school
unit, elementary and secondary.
Enough elementary schools should be
in the area to warrant employing
at least one trained supervisor"

VOTE IN SENATE
ON FARM MD
NEARS
Il international News Service


The Senate prepared today to
enact a farm relief bill over presi-
Dental opposition. The Senate hav-
ing adopted the debenture, Hoover
leaders were willing to pass the
buck to the House to uphold the
Presidents prestige.
The regular Republican organiza-
tion has control of the House and
can carry out the Presidents wishes.
The debenturs. however, will prove
a white elephant" throughout the
special session.
If it is eliminated from the farm
bill, the Democratic-Insurgent coali-
tion in the Senate will seek to at.
tach it to the tariff bill. This will
mean another rebuff for the Presi-
dent. The Senate undoubtedly will
yield to the House on the farm
bill, but threatens not to yield on
the tariff bill
ReappOrtiOnment Next
With the farm relief measure
enacted, Senate Administration lead"
ers will call up the reapportionment
and 1880 census bill. This authorizes
a census next year and provides for
reapportionment of the House on
the new basis.
After that. the Senate will stage
a battle over the right of Andrew
w. Mellon serving as Secretary of
the Treasury while owning a for
tune in corporation securities, A
majority report of the Senate
Judiciary Committee exonerated Mel
lon, but majority report declar ]
him holding office in violation If
law.
The farm bill meanwhile was the
immediate problem of the admins
tration.
House To Vote ON Bill.
|. Humors that the House would re-
fuse to accept the bill, on the
ground that the debenture is q
measure which
should have originated in the House,
died. down since word went around
that Mr., Hoover would prefer to
have the debenture eliminated by a
direct vote of the House.
1t was said the House leaders
either would accept the bill and
eliminate the debenture or send it
to conference and order the House
conferees to eliminate it. In either
event, the President would win.
Administration leaders expected
a vote in the Senate late this after:
noon. After o'clock, debate will
be limited and probably. a dozen
amendments must be disposed of be-
fore the final vote is reached.
