Washington Letter
By HERBERT C. PLUMSIER

WASHINGTON, June III can't say. haven't
seen Joe Grundy'"
VIII Rogers always got a laugh when he pulled
this ore His audiences regarded It as one Of his
best cracks.
It always came when the humorist was poking iun
at republicans and their attitude on governmental
principles as they affected big business. The infer
ence was that the party first saw Joe Grundy before
q definite policy was decided upon.
The reference is to a stocky, florid-faced man Of
ST who lives in Bristol, Penn. He is Joseph X.
Gr1ndy. a wool manufacturer, president Of the Penn
sylvania Manufacturers association, and one Of the
foremost authorities on tariff in the United States
Joe Grundy. as he is known in Washington. ad-
mittedly is a power in the republican party. although
a seat on the town council Of Bristol is the only public
office he ever has held.
TARIFF EXPERT
His speciality is tariff, and he has had a finger IN
every tariff revision since 1890. As president OF the
PENNSYLVANIA manufacturers he is regarded as indus
trvs leader in all matters relating to the economic
structure OF the nation.
When work was begun on revision Of the present
tariff schedules Grundy closed his offices in Penn
svlvania and came TO washington. Since the first Of
the wear he has been working night and day in his
headquarters on the third floor of the Transportation
building.
No step has been taken in regard to tariff Of which
Grundy doesn't know.
Grundy's associates say that his most outstanding
characteristic is his thoroughness. He sets his OBJ
jective and he will permit nothing to deviate him
from his course until the goal is reached. His opin-
ions always are clearly defined, and he enjoys moth
ing better than to run up against stiff opposition
His energy is boundless. He arises early in the
morning and is far into the days work before others
arrive at the office. He has a habit of getting his
associates out Of bed at z o'clock in the morning with
a telephone call from his office seeking an answer to
some question.

FAMOUS PEOPLE PAY
TO HERRICK

NEW YORK, April 1.-(P-Per-
sons prominent in many phases Of
world affairs joined today in trib-
utes to the memory of Myron Z.
Herrick. Some of them follow:
President Hoover: Few men in
American public life have given.
during many years, such unselfish
and such valuable service to their
country"
Calvin Coolidge: His service mas
been pre-eminent in his usefulness
to both the United States and
France. His going will remove an
important international landmark"
Chief Justice Taft: I'VE have not
had a more esteemed representative
at that most important diplomatic
post in a century. He is cherished
as a loving friend of two peoples
and has contributed in a remark
able degree to keeping the friend
ship between them sweet and
wholesome"
Colonel Charles A. Lindberg: Il
am deeply grieved at the loss of
Ambassador Herrick, who has al
ways been more than a friend to
me. I do not believe that an indi-
vidual ever commanded greater
love and respect from the people Of
two countries"

y INJURED IN
MISSOURI STORM
Train Hits Tree Blown
Across Track; Three
Missing

ST. LOUIS, April 1.-(P-Twen-
ty-two injured, three missing, and
thirty to forty farm buildings
wrecked or damaged was the known
toll today of an Easter storm that
cut a swath through southeast Mis-
souri, last night.
Searching parties, under direction
Of the Poplar Bluff Red Cross chap
ter, today attempted to make their
way over highways Strewn with
trees and other debris to make a
further survey.
Reports indicated the storm, &C
companied by a terrific downpour OF
rain and hail, originated near Hoxie
in northern Arkansas and swept
north as far as Bismarck, Mo, a dis
lance Of about 70 miles.
The worst damage was in the
Green Forest church community,
three miles northwest Of here.
where many buildings were UNI
rooted or wrecked and eleven per-
sons were injured. An inch Of hail
was left on the ground.
The Missouri Pacific sunshine
Special which left st. Louis at 6:45

ner defeated Mr.. Hardin so over
whelmingly that no possible motive
for fraud on his behalf existed"
the committee said.
They found, however, that voting
of thousands Of Mexicans or natur-
allied Mexicans for whom the
Baker machine" paid poll taxes
was established by the evidence
taken and that throwing out Of
mutilated numerous ballots be-
cause of trivial irregularities was
practiced on many republican
votes.
Although declaring the election
was tainted with fraud, the commit
tees report did not go into detail
as to its findings in this particular.
Referring to Hardin'S testimony
before it, however, the inveStigat-
ing body said it had gained "A firm
impression of his utter irresponSi-
bility."
He charged Congressman Garner
with participating in frauds and
subsequent coercion without offering
the least evidence to substantiate
the charge" the committee reported.
The Baker referred to is A. Y.
Baker, sheriff of Hidalgo county.
The committee recommended that
it's report be transmitted to the at
torney general with a request to
direct a searching investigation by
a special assistant attorney general"
Reference Of the matter to the local
Unteid States attorney for the dis
trict would serve no useful pur-
pose" it said.
The committee also reported that
in its investigation into the election
of Augustus McCloskey, democrat,
Of San Antonio, who opposed Repre-
sentative Harry M. Wurzbach, re-
publican, of Seguin, the facts OBJ
viously pointed to the conclusion
that changes were made in the Of
fetal returns during the time be-
tween their delivery by the presid-
ing judges and their canvass by the
county commissioners"
However. the committee made no
recommendation in connection with
this case, declaring it was aware
that suits we're pending in the Tex
as courts and that an election con-
test was impending in the house.

General Plutarco Elias Gales, from
his field headquarters in northern
Mexico, notified the government he

WATCHING
REBELS AT NACO

NACO, Sonora, Mexico. April l.
R)-Doubly watchful after expert
encing two Easter day aerial bomb
ing attacks, federal soldiers en-
trenched at the Naco garrison stood
by their guns today with their eyes
on a semi-circle of rebel camp fires
to the east, south and west.
The aerial bombing, the first ac-
ton of the long-delayed attempt OF
General Fausto Topete to wrest this
border town from loyal troops ul-
der Generals Lucas Gonzalez and
Augustine Olachea. killed two fed
eral soldiers, wounded two others
and threw a scare into a crowd Of
holiday visitors from the American
side of the border.
A lone rebel plane from Topete's
camp made the raids. The first
was in the morning. arouSing the
sleepy village to a high pitch Of ev-
element. Four bombs we're drop
ped but only two exploded. The
plane flew low, and the federalS
sent up a barrage of rifle and ma
chine gun bullets.
On an afternoon visit the rebel
bomber flew 1000 feet above the
city and dropped three bombs. The
first explosion caused a stampede
of American sightSeers through the
international gate. Another missile
scored almost a direct hit in the
trenches. The third bomb plunged
through the tin roof Of an e.lpty
building near the Mexican customs
house.
Scores Of Americans. perched on
railway box cars on the American
side of the border, witnessed the
second air raid. Because of the
distance they could not deteremine
theecaSualties but the Mexican con-
sui in Naco, Arizona, later confirm
ed the reports of two soldiers be-
ing killed and two injured.

INTERESTING FORECASTS

Back in 1886, on Feb. 10, q st Louis
newspaper published the prophecy Of
one "E. P. p" who Is otherwise anony-
nous, as to events which would occur
by Jan. 1, 1886. Half of his forecasts
have already come true in less than
half a century, and "E. P. p" has 81
years left for the rest Of his predictions
to materialize.
Here are those things he predicted
which have come to pass:
Formation of a League of Nations,
which he called by that name
Formation of world court for set
Element of international disputes
Machines in which man would fly
with ease, carrying heavy weights and
freight.
Perfection of the "photophone,' by
means Of which the worlds news would
be broadcast by sound and pictures.
General knowledge of world events
on the day they occur.
Reformation rather than penalization
of criminals
Increase in the span of life.
During the next 81 years, if "E. P. p"
has not misjudged the future, we will
see the following:
Roads to be given over to cultivation,
having been made unnecessary by air
transportation. 7
Abandonment of post offices, with
aerial mail delivery at each persons
door by parachute,
A new United States stretching from
Alaska to Panama, comprised Of 81
States.
Complete abolition of standing armies.
Congressional sessions only once IN
each 10 years and the passage Of no
laws which can not be repealed imme-
diately.
Houses built of paper and equipped
with aluminium and glass.
Powerful stations for the distribution
Of "photophone" news.
Easy communication with other
planets.
Education by individuals rather than
by groups.
Extension of human life to an aver
age span of 80 years; one out of every
200 persons to reach 1875 years; one out
of every 1000 to reach $50, and extraor-
binary cases 200 or more years.
Evolution of animals so that dogs
may be made to think.
Elimination of vagabondage, with
every person contributing to society.
Segregation of criminals and steril-
iAltion Of the unfit.
In view of the accuracy of ''E. P. P.'s'
prophecies In the first 43 years 1t is
difficult to say his predictions for the
next 81 are far-fetched.

THE HIGHWAY AGE

Historians of the future, looking
back on the first quarter of the
twentieth century, may well consider
it the Highway Age"
In 1870 paved roads were almost I'M
known. Uneven dirt and gravel sur
faces were the best even urban local
tiles had to offer. And in rural dis
tricts the suffering farmer struggled
through mud holes and over roads in
distinguishable from COW paths.
The change made in little more than
a quarter-century has been epochal.
From coast to coast broad, smooth
highways stretch, an invitation to the
business man and tourist In pro-
gressive agricultural localities old
gravel and macadam roads are being
given waterproof surface with oil or
asphaltic materials at moderate cost,
thus undermining old roads and pro-
wiling feeder system for main high
ways.
OF all the tremendous progress Of
this century, none has been more pro-
nounced than that made in road
building. The person with an auto
mobile can range hundreds OF miles in
day. The result has been lessening
Of the provincial spirit and breaking
of barriers between farms, cities,
states and even nations.
