Trapping Legislation Sought

BOST0N-An initiative petition seeking to abolish the steel trap has just been filed with the Sec retary of State by officials of the Massachusetts division of the Anti Steel Trap League. The petition bears S4,199 signatures, 14,199 more than are needed to place 1t before the Legislature.
 The petition makes 1t @ misde- meanor, punishable by $50 fine, to set or maintain any trap for the capture of fur bearing animal which is likely to cause continued suffering. The traps must be de- signed to kill at once or to take animals alive unhurt.
 The bill makes an exception in the case of traps set within 50 yards of any building or cultivated plot, a provision which is intended to afford protection for farmers, gar deners. and poultry raisers.
 "We do not participate any op- position to the bill from farmers" Howard Noble, managing director of the league, declared. "Trappers concerned only with the revenue they derive oppose the measure be- cause they believe the steel trap has no effective substitute. This is not true. There are effective hu- mane traps and there will be many others as soon as necessity compels their invention"

 SEARCH FOR
 LOST PLIERS
Hope Renewed on Christmas Day With the Word That a New Clue Had Been Found as to Place Where AviatOrs We're Forced Down.

SEATTLE-Hope for finding Ben Eielson and Earl Borland, Arctic fliers, was renewed on Christmas day with the word that a new clew had been found as to the place where they had been forced down. Word was received from an Ameri- can rescue flier, indicating that he had located the approximate posi- tion of the lost men. through infor- nation received from the Natives in the vicinity of Nanuk, beyond Cape North. Siberia. EieIson and Borland have been missing for six weeks.
 Natives of the Nanuk district re- ported that they had heard an air plane cireling over the place for a long time, as though in search of a landing field. In the meantime the Russian ice breaker, Litke, and the trading ship, Stravropol have been asked to aid in the search for Eiel- son and his companion.
 The Soviet government took swift and favorable action upon Senator William Borah's request that the Russian forces help to To- cate the arctic explorers. One air. plane was dispatched immediately to fly along the Siberian coast, and two others were ordered to join in the search.
 The greatest results are expected from Joe Crosson, a flier now at Nanuk. He has been able to make only one flight over the ice wastes since making his last reports and further adviees are awaited so that rescuers may concentrate their ef- forts upon the area where it is be- lieved that Eielson and Borland landed.

SCOUT HONORED
AS HERO

A hoy who was paralyzed during
his infancy and who, in later years,
became well enough to become
Boy Scout, was yesterday awarded
the gold honor medal, the highest
honor in American scoutdom, for
the rescue of a drowning 16-year-
old girl last July Is.
The lads name is Sidney Hersh-

rescued Teresa Marshall, despite
the girls frantic, hysterical fighting

j. s. RAPED BY
STRESEMANN

BERLIN, June "a. u.N.s).-In a
somewhat bitter address, belying
previous reports of the whole e-hearted
enthusiasm with which the Young
plan was received in German official
dom. DIR. Gustav Stresemann. foreign
minister, outlined the negotiations
at Paris to the Reichstag today.
In almost his first sentence. Dr.
Stresemann revealed that the Young
plan is not looked upon as a perma-
nent solution of postwar problems
so far as Germany is concerned.
''The Young plan is not an ideal
solution, DIR. Stresemam declared.
Nobody in the world can tell
whether it can be carried out
successfully.
But it eases the situation for the
next 10 years, and that is as far
ahead as anyone can see.''
DR.. Stresemann made the veiled
charge that the United States had
refused any concessions, although
Germany's other former enemies did
all in their power to cooperate in an
amicable settlement.
"At Paris he declared, "the
European powers did all they could
to relieve one another's situation by
mutual concessions. For there
certainly were no concessions com.
ing from another side"

In the fashionable st. Matthews
Roman Catholic Church on Rhode
Island Ave. where practically all
the foreign amba ssadors and the
elite of Washington Catholic So
ciety worship, there hangs across
the rear of the auditorium one of
the most beautiful American flags
in the United States.
Like. the immense banner that is
in, st. Patricks Cathedral in New
York City, this flag is designed to
bring closer together the church
and country.
The flag is the idea of Mai. John
Gleason O'Brien, a well-known news
paper man, formerly diplomatic at
tache of the United States and one
of the leaders in social circles here,
ajor O'Brien. when he was in New
York, was impressed by the rever-
ence shown the cathedral flag. He
called this to the attention OF the
Rev. Father Edward l.. Buckley, rec
tor of st. Matthews.
Father Buckley was willing and
O'Brien ordered the best flag that
could he found. When it arrived it
was found to be too large. A small
Ter one was secured. This is 12x1S
feet and is suspended by a cable.

night with sabers and empty rifles,
were near death this morning.

windows.
The riot started when SO mem.

their blue uniforms with glistening
gold braid and brandishins unloaded
rifles, attempted to force an en-
trance into Liberty Hall. The Gar
