Senator McKellar Believes No Results Will Be
 Obtained

WASHINGTON, Teb. 28.-Recall of the American delegation from London is proposed in the Senate by Senator McKellar who asserted there is no opportunity for naval reductions fin the present state of mind of the conferees representing the other four Powers. It is clear there is no possibility of disarm- ament, reduction or even limita- tion."

HIS GREAT WORK

Fighting the pirates of literature was George Haven Putnam's great work.
 Battling, sometimes singlehanded, against selfish interests of publish CTS, he gave the United States it's international copyright system.
 Taught by his father the evils of the parasitical practices which ignored royalty rights of literary men outside their own countries. MT. Putnam in 1886 revived the Am erica a n Publishers Copyright League. As it's secretary he pro- pagandized for an international copyright law, wrestled with Con- gress to put over legislation, and when law was enacted in 1891, was rewarded by France with the crcss of the Legion of Honor.
 The father, George Palmer Put nam, had been instrumental in acquainting England and the Con- tincnt with the little known litera- ture Of the then young United States, a work carried on by his sen. The latter saw that English literature was borrowed at random in America-an unfair practice in the opinion of the young publisher,

ATLANTA, February 28.-The old lady who lived in the shoe may have been crowded, but her house was spacious compared with the federal prison crouched ponderously n the outskirts of Atlanta.
 Built for a miximum of 1900 prisoners, the big house" now bulges with 4,o0o convicts. Presi- dent Hoover, asking appropriations for prison extensions, estimated the number at l20 per cent above ca pacity singie4 cells serve two men and even corridors are used.
 In line with President Hoover's plan to adjust prison population, a bill passed by the house is seen as a correction for this condition. It provides two additional prisons, one in the northeast and another west of the Mississippi river.
 Mutiny has swept other over crowded prisons, but Atlanta's has stood nearly 30 years with never a major disorder behind it's tall con- crete walls.
 One delivery attempt was thwart- ed in 1928 by quick -thinging turn key. Led by Roy Gardner, notori- ous train robber, an armed group had reached the last two doors on a dash toward freedom. The turnkey saw them in time to toss his keys through the steel bars, halting the rebels long enough for other guards to fire.
 Gerald Chapman, later hanged, made two sensational escapes, and his companion in crime, Dutch Anderson, also escaped.
 Nearly half the present prisoners are prohibition offenders, but the prison roster has included many once famous names.
 The prison stands well away from other buildings, with clearing perhaps a quarter of mile wide around it. An approach to the main entrance is devised to permit scrutiny by a guard before visitors reach striking distance. The walls embrace 27 acres and never has been extended.
 An entrance at the side is for vehicles. It is a double-gate af- fair, operated by electricity. One gate can be opened at a time and entrants can be locked between them for examination. Two news- paper men trailing Earl Carrolls ambulance were thus discovered.
 On the walls are a series of tow CTS occupied by guards. The walls are lighted and flood lights blaze across the clearing at night.
 First steps toward decreasing the prison population were taken with transfer of some inmates to Leav- enworth. Kas. Those transfers did not equal the 1928 increase of 450.
 After charges and counter-charg- es, John w. Shook was replaced as warden by A. c. Alderhold. Many changes in the official organization of the prison followed.

Scott Says Decision Vas Rotten; Stribling Claims
 Scott Is q Bum; Former
 Champion Ciues His Vieacs

MIAMI, Florida, Feb 28.-"It was rotten, wicked decision. I know I was fouled at least half a dozen times. I counted them. I have never seen anything like it in my life," was Phil Scott's de- scription of the technical knockout awarded to Jack Sharke last night in the fight here.
 Scott said the referee went to him and asked If I could carry on told him I'd try. That's all anybody can do, but if a man can't carry on, he can't. The re- fierce poked his finger in my stom- ach at the time of the last foul. He and a man they said was doctor both said the first time that I was not fouled, but any doctor in the world should have known It."

 Sharkey said: Not one blow was a foul" He joined his wife and refused to be interviewed.

A New Transcontinental Record.

Well, Lindbergh has done it again,
but this time it is the Lindberghs who
have done it, and the new transcon-
tinental flying record must be shared
by the colonel and his wife. For it
was the former Anne Morrow who,
swathed in electrically cheated clothes,
guided their bullet-like speedster from
the West Coast to the East while the
flying colonel devoted his time to check
ing instruments and seeking attitudes
that would provide favorable winds
Mrs. Lindbergh was the navigator and
according to the colonels own words
"she did good job of it."
When about year ago Capt. Frank
Hawks sped across the continent in
slightly more than seventeen hours the
record seemed likely to stand for long
time. Hawks averaged better than one
hundred and fifty miles an hour and
made no stops en- route. But the new
team of 1--WE" had yet to be reckcned
with. The colonel had new plane. 1t
was far faster than the average COM
mercial ship and many miles faster
than any service ship. It had been
built especially for him. The colonel
likewise had theory that better time
could be made by flying at high alti-
tudes. So, when he and Mrs. Lindbergh
decided to try out his theory and his

courts that clearly have defined the law
here, all Of which will be destroyed by
the Blaine bill In the form that is pro-
posed.
1t is further commended that redress
lies through the courts, and that If
grounds exist, foreclosures can be
estopped by injunction. The chief cause
Of foreclosure, of course, is failure to
meet obligations. No legislation can help
q man who has borrowed money on his
property and cannot repay the loan.
Legislation can protect him against
trickery, abuse and fraud. If Senator
Blaines investigation-and 1t should be
thorough-reveals instances of the latter
for which there is no existing remedy,
or demonstrates that the home owner
needs additional protection, there should
be legislation. The form Of this legisla-
ton is another matter.

new ship it boded Ill for the Hawks
record.
Shortly after five o'clock yesterday
morning, at Glendale, Calf, the Lind
berghs were whisked into the sky by the
powerful motor of their low-winged
Lockheed plane. Shortly after eleven
o'clock last night the Lindberghs from
two-mile altitude pointed the nose of
their plane downward and dropped
softly to a landing at Roosevelt Field,
New York. They had made one stop
on the way at Wichita, Kans, and the
new American transcontinental record
was set at fourteen hours, forty-f1ve
minutes, three hours better than that
established by Hawks.
1t was a typical Lindbergh feat. Six
hours, straight as die to Wichita so
high in the sky that until he appeared
over the field the plane was unreported
for the twelve hundred-niile trip. A
wait of twenty minutes, with motor still
purring, for replenishment Of gasoline
and oil and the LindberghS again dis
appeared until watchers at Roosevelt
Field, eight hours later, made out the
dim outline of the sleek plane as 1t
came in to end an epochal Journey
Not only was it a great flight from
the standpoint of the Lindberghs, their
plane and motor, but it is quite likely
that scientific facts of value have been
obtained. When man acquires more
knowledge of the upper strata all
speed records of the present day
will probably be broken. The Lind
berghs in maintaining an altitude be-
tween ten thousand and fifteen thou
sand feet on a three thousand mile
flight have done their part to bring
the research to practical basis

Proposed Foreclosure Legislation.

The merits of the foreclosure bill by
Senator Blaine of Wisconsin, upon
which preliminary hearings were held on
Saturday, can be discussed later when it
has been decided whether conditions in
Washington justify or demand the rene
dies contemplated in the measure.
But the decision of Senator Blaine to
investigate the actual need for enact
ment of his bill and the attitude Of the
Real Estate Board as expressed by its
executive secretary, Mr.. Petty, are GER
tainly reasonable.
The Real Estate Board, and other in
situations dealing with real estate and
the loan Of money on real estate, are
against the bill because they see no need
for it and because of the drastic
changes in procedure and practice to
result from its passage. Mr.. Petty, how
ever, took the ground that while it is
probable that complaints of unreason-
able foreclosures have reached members
of the Senate, as Senator Blaine says
they have, the mere fact of the COM
plants is not enough TO warrant passage
of legislation. First there must be In
vestigation to determine the Justification
for complaints.
If Senator Blaine's investigation dis
closes that the complaints are justified
and that there are abuses under the fore
closure laws In the District that need
remedy, the Real Estate Board will not
only favor remedial legislation, but will
cooperate with the Senators in seeking
the best and most effective form for
the legislation to take. That is fair
enough, and Senator Blaine's investiga-
ton should Immediately proceed
In many Of the States-possibly in
most of them-there is a redemption
period of varying length after foreclo-
sure, during which the mortgagor may
redeem his property. There is no such
redemption period in the District and
the Blaine bill specifies one of fifteen
days. The Real Estate Board points out
that the Blaine bill is based on the use
of mortgages, whereas the deed Of trust
form has been used in Washington since
the founding Of the city; that fore
closure custom and practice during the
years have resulted in decisions Of the
