DENIED PAY RAISE, CAT
QUITS CHASING MICE
Service in British Treasury Re.
gumed When Chancellor Yields
to g Cents-a-Day Appeal.

LONDON, September "a (N.AN.A.).-
Rufus, the official mice hunter of the
British treasury, in London, has been
living until recently, on cents a day.
That, decided Rufus, is hardly enough
for an ordinary cat, no less for one VINO
guards the British mint. But the
lords of the treasury turned down a sug-
gestion that Rufus should get raise
In pay.
The cat then refused to chase mice.
It spent its mornings and afternoons
sleeping in the sun and its evenings
wandering about town. Dame Maude
Lawrence, head Of the women in the
civil service, enlisted the sympathy of
Philip Snowden. A second memoran-
dunn went to the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, and, after an interview with
Rufus, was noted:
Treasury vote: Approve so per cent
increase of cats pay"
Rufus is now living on cents a day
and hard times have come upon the
mint mice

Authors get of comparatively easy
these days when having a book banned.
During the Middle Ages, an author who
wrote book of over 1000 large pages
was condemned literally to eat his own
words. The book was boiled and made
into pulp which the unfortunate author
was compelled to swallow in public.

Cites Effects OF Treaty.
The London treaty, he said. brings
about this parity almost Immediately,
with Britain agreeing to scrap five bat
tleships and America three. He said,
too, that growing out Of the London
conference had come an agreement by
the British not to object further to the
elevation of guns on some OF the
American battleships needed to equalize
the strength of the two battleship fleets.
The elevation of guns has been pro-
tested by the British in the past. Mr..
Stimson said that q letter showing the
willingness of the British government
to have America elevate the guns on
its battleship would be laid before the
committee.
1--WE now have the right to modernize
our battleships," said Secretary Slim
son.
At this point in Mr.. Stimson's testi-
mony, Chairman Borah announced that
the committee would suspend until to-
morrow morning at 1890 o'clock. Sec
rotary Stinson will be the witness
again at that time.

Lofty Ben Lomond
Will Be Sold at
Auction by Owner

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 12.-Ben Lo-
mond, perhaps the most famous,
If not the highest peak in Scot
land, will shortly be sold at
auction.
The Duke of Montrose has de-
cided to sell many thousands Of
acres in the counties Of Stirling
and Lanark and included in these
will be the greater part OF the
lofty Ben Lomond, renowned
through many a song and legend.
A year ago several of the islands
in Loeb Lomond were offered for
sale by the duke.
The coming of these lands into
the market, at a time when there
is much talk of securing q ma
tional park for Scotland, has
aroused much interest in their
eventual disposal.

fYABJI ISSUES STATEMENT.

NAVSARI, Bombay, May IL Dr.
Abbas Tyabji, successor to Mahatrna
Gandhi as head Of the civil disobedience
campaign, obviously expecting arrest to-
day, had prepared q statement for re-
lease to his followers when the police
finally came for him.
The statement read: Friends. in one
short month the Mahatmaji "a rever-
entail name for Gandhi) has succeeded
in arousing a desire for complete inde-
pendence In the breasts of millions OF
midas sons, who previously thought,
If at all, most perfunctorily about 1t.
ITO all of those who have worked
according to the Mahatmaji's instruc.
lions during the month 1t is evident no
amount Of coercion Is going to subdue
the spirit Of the people. There can
be no peace In India till freedom Is
won. and one and all of my country
men will work out the program chalked
out by the Mahatmaji with all the
intensity Of which we are capable.

CONFEREES TACKLE
FLEXIBLE PROVISION
Attempt to Reach Compro-
mise Will Be Made Tomor-
row or Wednesday.
BY the Associated Press.


The Senate-House tariff conferees will
make another effort tomorrow or We'd
nesday to reach a compromise agree
ment in their dispute over whether the
flexible provisions Of the Smoot-Hawley
bill shall continue or revoke the Presi-
dents authority to make emergency i'm
port duty changes.
This question has produced wide
variance of opinion among the Repub-
lican conferees. The House bill would
have the President retain his power TO
increase or lower rates by so per cent,
while under the Senate measure this
authority would be taken over by Con-
gress.
Over the outspoken objection of Presi-
dent Hoover, the Senate plan was writ
ten into the bill by the coalition of
Democrats and independent Republicans
when it was In control Of the tariff STU
alton.
Texan Warns Of Battle.
With an historic phrase, Senator Con-
nally. Democrat, Texas, last night served
warning that any effort to eliminate the
Senate provision would be determinedly
contested.
I'VE propose to fight It out on this
line II 1t takes all Summer" he said
1.-THE Senate amendment restoring to
Congress the tariff making power is ab-
solutely fundamental. If the tariff bin
passes, it must restore to the represent
atiYes Of the people the right to make
laws that govern them"
Administration leaders, he continued
are determined TO kill the Senate amend
ment and their grand strategy" is then
to hammer through the high schedules
of the bill"
Sugar Schedule Is Reopened.
The sugar schedule again came to the
front over the week end, with efforts
to reopen 1t by concurrent resolution
for the purpose Of correcting an alleged
error in calculating the duty on the re-
fined product.
Rudolph Spreckels, New York refiner
and president of the Sugar Institute
issued a statement saying that the bill
removes present protection on refined
sugar and in addition gives Cuban re-
fined sugar premium of cents hun
dred pounds. His statement was in reply
to one by John z. Snyder, vice president
of the Hershey Corporation, Hershey
Pa, which maintains reflneries in Cuba
Snyder. in a further statement. last
night said that the. effort to obtain q
higher duty on refined sugar was in
tended to make his company depend
ent upon members Of the Sugar Insti-
tue for refined cane sugar"

Outlines Purpose
OF Cleanup Week

BY DR.. Luther ReicheIderfer,
President OF the Board Of District
Commissioners.
Cleanup week should be a
period Of general civic house.
cleaning to promote the health,
safety. sanitation and good ap-
pearance Of the entire COM
munity.
Individual and community good
health depend upon a variety OF
factors, among which are clean
illness and proper sanitation.
Cleanup week aims to clean up
insanitary conditions and to dis
pose of accumulated trash and
refuse.
Cleanup week should not be
observed as an isolated period
for overburdening the refuse de-
partment, but rather as the time
to start q gradual and effective
cleaning up extending over the
balance of the year.
It should be an object lesson to
remind all of us that high-pres-
sure housekeeping Is only nee
essary when current cleaning has
been neglected.
The final aim of Cleanup
week should be to locate all pres
