CHICAGO, June / Q.N.S.l-

The youths body, dangling at

Winnetka, North Shore suburb.
On a bed nearby lay volume of

negotiations.
! It has not yet been decided how
soon the Mexican archbishop will

The ecclesiastic has applied for a

RICHMOND, Va. June uN.S.).
The Democratic schism created in
Virginia by AL Smiths presidential
candidacy was propped open still
further today by the rallying call
issued to anti.Smith Democrats by

The bishop urged those Democrats
who bolted Smith last November to
hold their lines intact and to
nominate an independent State
ticket at Roanoke on June Is. The

None Of the regular Democratic
candidates for the nomination thus
far mentioned-John G. Pollard,
Walter Mapp, and Roswell Page-is
satisfactory to Bishop Cannon
despite the fact all are dry.
They all remained regular in No
vember and supported Smith, and
Bishop Cannon asserted in his
manifesto, in effect, that no quarter
is to be given any who followed
Smith.
The Roanoke rally will determine
whether the November boilers will
put an independent ticket in the
field. It may conceivably have a
far.reaching effect on Virginia poll.

The District Commissioners have
asked the Bureau Of the Budget for
permission to obtain an appropria-

$500, 900 with which to buy land
for the new municipal center and

It was learned today.
There is little possibility that the

The President desires passage OF
emergency legislation only at this
session Of Congress.
In the event the Budget Bureau
does turn down the request the
Commissioner can still ask Con-
gress for the appropriation but in
doing 80 must point out that it is in
conflict with the Presidents finan.
cial program.
The Commissioners are anxious
to spend $3,000.000 Of the approx
mately $10,000,000 surplus to the
credit Of the District in the Treas

municipal center before real estate
prices go any higher. II the ap-

most perplexing problems now con-

HOOVER PUSHES
ARMS PACT
staff Photo
BY GEORGE r.. HOLMES
BY international News Service

President Hoover has made thres
distinct and significant moves to-
ward new naval disarmament
conference in as many months.
From that fact may be judged the
determination of the new Adminis-
tration to keep hammering away at
the world powers until they con.
sent to gather around the confer.
ence table and discuss-not only
limitation-but actual reduction or
existing naval establishments.
The first move was made through
Ambassador Hugh Gibson almost
at the outset of the new Administra-
ton, when he informed the powers
assembled at Geneva that the
United States stood ready to reach
an agreement on the basis Of ''rela-
tive" naval needs.
Threat Follows Prayer :
Memorial Day witnessed the sec.
ond step. Standing before the
thousands of graves In Arlington
Cemetery Mr.. Hoover pleaded for
naval reduction on Humanitarian
and moral grounds.
Yesterday saw the unusual move
of Secretary of State Stimson 1ssu'
ing a formal statement calling the
worlds attention to the enormous
economic burden it il carrying with
existing navies, and inferentially
warning the powers that the United
States can outbuild them all II and
when necessary.
Neither President Hoover'S Me-
mortal Day speech nor Secretary
Stimson's unprecedented statement
were designed for American con.
sumption. They were directed
abroad.
Administration officials said To-
day it was only a coincidence that
the Stimson statement came on the
same day that the Labor party
seemed destined to form the next
British government.
Macdonald for Peace
The Labor party is committed to
pursuing naval disarmament 20
the last degree consistent with
British safety, and there is no more
persistent advocate of an agree.
ment with the United States than
Ramsay Macdonald, the Labor party
leader who probably will be the
next prime minister. Not much
progress has been made toward
further naval reduction or limita-
ton under the conservative govern
ment of Premier Baldwin.
How soon it will be possible to
realize a conference seemed to de-
pend today somewhat upon the
exigencies of British politics. Po'
litical turmoil in England with an.
other general election imminent
could very we'll delay a conference
indefinitely,
On the other hand, If labor can
form a government assured Of some
stability and endurance, it might
be possible to realize conference
within a year.
Both Lloyd George and MacDon'
aid attacked the Baldwin govern
ment in the British campaign al
"the enemies of peace" and criti.
cised its slow p.odding toward fur
ther naval agreement. Should they
now stand together in a coalition
government a early Anglo.American
agreement becomes a distinct posi-
hility.
