new duties for a month or two, as he is
now in Santo Domingo completing the
work Of stabilizing the budget begun
by Gen. Charles G. Dawes.
Announcement Of Col. Roop's selec-
ton came as a surprise, as his name
had not been mentioned. He is not a
stranger to off1cial Washington. nor

he was assistant director of the budget
under Gen. Dawes from December 21
1921, to June %, 1922.
Loath to Accept Duty.
He retired to enter business and il
is understood that his re-entering public
service is done with considerable
personal sacrifice and that it required
some little persuading on the part OF
the President to draft him. Gen. Dawes
Is understood to have had something
to do with Col. Roop's being picked to
succeed Gen. Lord. Gen. Dawes became
acquainted with Col. Roops ability dur
ing the World War.

chasing supplies for the A. e. +. Col.
Roop was chief of the purchasing stan
OF the American Army in France at the
close OF the war. When hostilities end
ed he returned to his private business.

SNAKE PERIL FACED
BY HOOVER PARTY
Outing on Rapidan River Be.
gins With Supply of Lini-
ments for Bites.
I

President and Mrs. Hoover and \
small party of friends this afternoon are
on their way to the presidential fishing
camp at the headquarters OF the Rapi-
dan River in Virginia, where not only
does the quiet and cool OF the noun
tains await them, but also the dangers
Of snake bite.
The reptilian phase of the weekend
vacation was brought to light when it
was noticed that. besides personal bag
gage. food and fishing tackle, the presi-
dental party carried q plentiful supply
of medicine and linaments for the
treatment of snake bites.
They left the White House in motor
cars shortly after 10 O'Clock this morn
ing with the intention OF returning be-
fore noon Monday.
The President and Mrs. Hoover were
accompanied by Secretary of Agriculture
Hyde, Mark Sullivan, newspaper and
magazine writer: Lawrence Richey, one
OF the Presidents secretaries, and Lieut..
Comdr. Joel T. Boone, White House
physician, all ardent fishermen. With
the party Is squad OF secret service
men, under command Of Col. Z. w.
Startling, another sportsman.
Neither the President nor Mrs. Hoover
has expressed any particular concern
about the presence OF copperheads and
rattlerS in the vicinity Of their noun
tain camp, but others in their party
have made no secret of their appre-
hension. Moreover. reports from the
Marine guard camp stationed close by
the presidential camp have disclosed
that the Marines have been busily oc-
cupied killing snakes. And DR.. Boone
has recently read up on the most
modern methods of treating snake
poisoning.
Razor Backs in Service.
At the suggestion of the Department
of Agriculture. o number OF razor-back
hogs have been pressed into service to
keep the snakes away from the camp
According to authorities hogs are pro-
flcient at the art of killing snakes and
their talents along this line are being
tried out in the presidential camp.
The President and Mrs. Hoover have
had particularly busy week, and there
was no mistaking their relief as they
morning for the cool and quiet Of the
mountains
1t is not Mr.. Hoover's intention to de-
vote all of his time to play on this trip
He has taken with him a portfolio OF
papers concerning the nearly 400 per-
sons who have been suggested for ap-
pointments to the Federal Farm Board
He will discuss these with Secretary
Hyde. and 1t is thought likely that when
he returns to his desk Monday the
President will have reached a decision
regarding appointment Of three or four
Of the eight persons to comprise the
board.

MEXICO CITY, June 22.--AmbaSsa-
dor Morrow, Ill and in bed, has received
letters threatening harm to him as q
result of his activity In bringing to a
successful climax negotiations for set
tlement of the Mexican religious con-
troversy
The Ambassador considers the letters
only the work of cranks. Questions OF
newspaper men AS to whether they wor-
ried him he dismissed with only smile.
Mr.. Morrows illness developed Thurs
day in the form of a mild indigestion
which sent him to his bed. He got up
from bed for an hour and half Thurs
day night to confer with President
Portes Gil, and was so tired yesterday
he remained abed. canceling his en-
gagement to deliver the commencement
address at the American School.
Yesterday afternoon he conversed
with the President by phone between the
chief executives, two conferences with
the bishops, never leaving his bed. Seen
by newspaper men later in the room. he
wore happy smile at the outcome OF
the negotiations.
He said he hoped to go today to his
country home at Cuernavaca to rest
over the week end after the arduouS
1abors of the past week, and he now
wants only to rest.
Generally speaking the Ambassador
popularity has been increased many
times by the hand he has taken in the
church negotiations. He was referred to
here today on every side as one of the
worlds greatest diplomats. Many Cath
olics are inclined to credit him with the
final success in the negotiations, stating
6atly that had 1t not been for his media
tion the conferences would have been
broken down.
