been the source of much commenda-

The Eastman family is enthusiast

conducted here in Washington by the
National Capital Committee of the Gar
den Club Of America and the Wild
flower Preservation Society for the pro-
lection of the dogwood, according to Mr..
Eastman.
They feel that this native Towering

beautiful trees this year as an example
OF how they may be employed in beauti-
hcation of home sites

ARMIES PREPARE
FOR MAJOR CLASH
Rebel Cavalrymen Believed En-

NOGALES, Sonora, Mexico, April 20.
Predictions that the final major bat
tie Of the Mexican revolution In all
likelihood would be enacted soon In
southern Sonora were heard today as
military experts studied the movements
of the opposing armies.
A rebel army of some 5000 men was
said to be encamped at Masiaca. Sonora.
about IS miles from the new rebel base
at Navojoa San Bias, Sinaloa, short
distance below Navojoa, is occupied by
a strong Federal army. A meeting OF
these two contending forces is said to
be imminent, with the outcome q mat
ter of speculation.
That preparations are under way for
big engagement was evidenced by the
arrival here today Of a troop train
carrying 1000 rebel cavalrymen from
the Cananea sectors. Rebel headquar-
tiers said the train would proceed
"southward," although its exact desti-
nation was a matter of secrecy. These
troops, however, were believed to be en-
route to Navajoa.
The rebels had their airplanes here
tuned up for the purpose Of combating
any attempts of the Federals to repeat
the recent daily bombing OF Nogales.
These planes are under the command
of an American. Can't. r. H. Polk. Yes
terday Gen. Abelardo Rodriguez, head
of the Federal forces In northwestern
Mexico. promised to continue the bomb
ing of the rebels until the revolution
Is overthrown.

tionaI Advisory Council.

Secretary Of Agriculture Hyde has

partmeNt Of Agriculture to confer with
the National Arboretum Advisory Coun-
Gil as required by the act establishing
the Arboretum. The members Of the
departmental committee are: DR.. A. r.
Woods, director of scientific work; DR..
w. A. Taylor, chief of the Bureau of
Plant Industry; Maj. r. Y. Stuart, chief
of the forest service, and DR.. F.. ".

To the fullest degree possible, it IS
expected, the management of the Ma
tional Arboretum will collect plants and
trees from all the regions of the world
for cultivation, study and breeding in
the grounds of the Arboretum. DR..
Coville, one of the members, of the de-
partmental committee, has suggested
the function of the Arboretum in such
phrases as a living library of the
plants of the world" and as "a 5-foot
shelf Of the more important plants"

peal to imaginative grievances, by a
subtle appeal to racial hatreds and by
JSkillful manipulation of misinforma-
ton and Misrepresentation concerning
the Democratic party and its candi-
dates. Notwithstanding these indie
feasible methods, the Democratic party
polled more votes in the last election
than any party had polled at any pre-
vious election"
Declaring that the Republican party
frequently charges the Democrats with
lack Of constructive ability, Senator
Barley pointed out that his party was
responsible for the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn, the law that recognizes the right
OF labor to organize; that it gave to
agriculture loan system that placed it
on parity with other industrial groups;
that it took the tariff out of politics by
setting up the tariff commission, and
that it had set up the Federal Trade
Commission before which big and little
business could lay its grievances.
Referring to the extra session Of
Congress the Democratic Senator said
that III it had not been for the in
sistence Of Democrats all over the
country, led by our resourceful candi-
date for President in the last election,
Congress would not now be In extra
session under the pretense of legisla-
ton for the benefit of the farmer"
Senator Ransdell, referring to the
tariff stand Of Mr.. Smith during the
late campaign, pointed out that credit
for the doctrine of adequate protection
belongs to Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and Jackson, who guarded our Govern
ment In its infant days"
The Louisiana Senator said he had
always been protectionist and that he
rejoiced in Gov. Smiths stand.
Let his (Jefferson's) teachings lead
us in the future under the standard of
Gov. Smith" he continued, who after

the error Of our ways and led us back
to the path of Jeffersonian principles. :"

Two Men Investigated.
The amazing testimony yesterday at
the inquest into the ST. Valentines dav
massacre yielded two names Of interest
to the authorities, Steven Oswald and
Frank Thompson. 1t was believed they
might possess much valuable informa-
ton of the killings.
A machine gun was found In the
home of Oswald, known as a beer run
ner and one Of the firearms dealers on
the stand yesterday told Of selling six
machine guns to Thompson, who lives
at Kirkland, Ill. Thompson's wife said
he solicited students for a university
and was home seldom, and then only
on week ends. His aged parents in
Chicago thought their son sold ceme-
terry lots.
Clues Seen in Vest and Guns.
A vest and a half dozen revolvers,
found In a raid on the Webster Hotel
after the killing, might result in some
valuable clues, DR.. Herman N. Bundle

Goddard, New York expert. began COM
parison of the weapons and the bullets
they fired with bullets taken from the
bodies of the victims. Some Of the
guns may be found to have been used

Lord Cushendun Proposes
Proceeding With Other /;
Armament Questions.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, April 20.-The preparatory
commission disarmament conference,
finding itself at the end Of the FIRST
week with nothing specific accomplished
and with one delegation considering
withdrawal, heard a British proposal
that the stubborn question of big nax.rs
be laid aside to see If other armament
fields offered less resistance to reduc-
tions.
Lord Cushendun came out for con-
centration Of the commission on prob
lens OF land and air disarmament in
stead of naval problems, which Britain
would prefer to hold over until the
powers reached direct accord.
Soviet Considers Withdrawal p,
The drastic scheme for scrapping
ornaments proposed by Soviet Russia
was sidetracked, but not killed. The
Soviet delegation, headed by Maxim
Lltvlnoh, spent the afternoon trying tn
decide whether it was worth while to
continue after their failure to force
ueAlllIe dcIlCn on their proposal.
American interests were taken in
charge by Minister Hugh r. WiIsc.l
because of the illness of Ambassaoo.
Hugh S. Gibson. The Ambassador 10
Belgium caught cold while playing golf
ana was ordered to remain quiet for TWO
days as precaution.
Urges Change in Program.
Lord CuShendun, British under-secre-
tary for foreign affairs, declared that
since his country was not q military
power in the continental sense of the
term, he was prepared to accept in this
regard any agreement which had the
unanimous approval of the rest of the
commission. He pointed out that the
chief naval powers, working by them
selves. had already effected important
reduction and limitation in naval arma-
mentS.
He urged. however, that if the COM
mission failed to accomplish anything
it would lay itself open to ridicule that
would be disastrous. He therefore pro-
posed to get on with the land and air
problems"

additional tariff, he said, would serve
only to stimulate and more than double
sugar production in the Philippines,
Porto Rico and Hawaii, whose products
pay no duty upon entry into this coun-
try.
Roughly speaking, Stimson informed
the committee, three-fifths of the sugar
consumed in this country comes from
foreign sources. nearly all Of 1t Cuban:
one-f1fth from continental United States
and the other one-flfth from its insular
possessions.
The issue, therefore" he said. "does
not rest between domestic sugar and
Philippine sugar: domestic sugar is not
IN any way affected by free importation
from the Philippines"
Stimson Holds Cuba Fixes Price.
The Secretary, who recently retired
as governor general Of the islands to be-
come member Of the Hoover cabinet,
declared that duty-paying sugar has
been far above 5000. 600 tons during the
past flve years and that inaSmuch as
practically all Of this comes from Cuba,
its price fixes the American price.
Domestic sugar intrests had armitted,
he said, that their production cannot
be greatly or suddenly increased.
Therefore" he said, even If the
free entry of Philippine sugar should
be cut of entirely, the only effect would
be to increase the amount of foreign
sugar which would enter the American
market, j. e., to sacrifice Philippine
sugar for Cuban sugar"
Stimson declared the increased Phil
ippine production, at which the resolu-
1f 80 ~
publican. of Colorado and a member of
the tariff framing committee, is aimed,
was not due to increased acreage, but
to improvements in milling. He added
that no increase in acreage can be ex-
pected owing to land laws of the
islands, which prevent purchase by
corporations of tracts of land exceeding
$500 acres. $50
Domestic Price Not Affected.
ITO sum up" he said, this committee
is asked by the propoSers of this limi-
tation to strike blow at an industry
which is at present not affecting the
price OF any domestic sugar and which
cannot possibly affect such price within
any reasonable period Of years to come,
owing to the democratic method of
Its cultivation foStered under the laws
of an American Congress.
Such limitation would be In
evitably interpreted as a betrayal of
trust by the United States toward
dependent people and such betrayal not
only would violate American principles
of government which have been in
itiated by Republican administration
and carried out without a difference of
opinion by all parties, but 1t would
arouse widespread criticism in the
Orient as well as in other parts of the
world with which we desire commercial
relations, and would infiict q lasting
blow upon our credit and good name"

CANADIAN WATERS
BARRED TO GUARDS
Two U. S. Rum Chasers
Arrested for Landing Boat
in Ontario.
BY the Associated Press.


BUFFALO, N. Y, April 20.-Strict
orders were issued today to American
Coast Guardsmen to keep out of Cana
dian waters.
Action followed arrest Of two members
of the United States Coast Guard early
today after their rum chasing boat, al
legged to have become disabled, landed
on the Canadian shore of the Niagara
River near Bridgeburg. Ontario.
Both Canadian officials and United
States Coast Guardsmen drew revolvers
when the two parties came in contact,
but the Americans quickly made known
their identity, and there was no firing.
Discipline Is Threatened.
IF it is shown" Commander M. w.
Rasmussen Of the Coast Guard said to-
night, that the boat was in running
order, and that motor trouble was not
the reason for the entry Of the boat
into Canadian waters, the two men will
be disciplined"
So far as the Canadian government n
concerned, the matter was amicably set
tied this afternoon when Commander
Rasmussen and Chief Hyatt, the latter
of the Canadian customs preventative
force. completed a three-hour confer
ence at Bridgeburg.
Claim Regulations Violated.
Chief Boatswain's Mate Hubert Will
bur and Surfman Orville N. Lagrant
were the two taken into custody by two
provincial officers on the Canadian
shore. The two men had left the Buff
falo station early In the evening In a
cutter to patrol what Is known as the
West River.
A machine gun was mounted on the
patrol beat and the men carried service
revolvers.
Federal authorities said that "over-
zealousness" in the performance Of what
they thought to be their duty resulted
in the two men anchoring the large
craft in American waters and continu-
ing into the shoals along the Canadian
shore in a smaller motor boat, which
they had in tow, and eventually landing
In Canada.
The two men disobeyed Coast Guard
regulations when they retained. their re-
volvers on entering Canadian waters
and going ashore in Ontario, 1t was adj
mitted.
