Asidered.

PESETA STERILIZATION
Is OPPOSED IN SPAIN

Special Cable Dispatch TO The Star.
MADRID, March 26.-Definite proof
that o majority in Spanish trade and
industry are opposed to sterilization Of
the peSeta Is cited in the slump caused
yesterday on the Barcelona and Madrid
stock exchanges by the mere announce
ment that negotiations for q $50, 00O, 900
loan were nearing completion with an
international banking group. j. p.
Morgan & Co. and the Chase National
Bank Of New York were said to be
prominent members Of this banking
group.
on the other hand, agitation con-
tinues 10 grow throughout the country
around a general demand for political
amnesty, including both civilian and
military prisoners. Mass demonstra-
tions are being organized daily In the
provinces and clashes between students
and police in Madrid occur contin-
ually. There are many signs that the
Amer government Is divided internally,
and that Il will not be able to resist
the onslaught In the coming electoral
campaign Consequently It may be ex-
pected that Santiago Alba, former
premier now In exile In Paris, and the
Constitutionaliss group win again be
offered power soon TO ward Oh attacks
on the monarchy.

When q corporation Is able to market
q mortgage bond with q AZ per cent
coupon at q premium, 1t Is good evil
dence Of exceptional financial strength.
This applies to Kansas City Power 81
Light, q first mortgage issue Of which
was recently sold on . 4.33 per cent
yield basis. On the completion Of this
financing, capitalization consisted Of
two series Of first-mortgage bonds, both
Of them with Az per cent coupons, 49,
900 shares Of preferred stock and 52S,-
600 of common. The bonds are legal
investments for savings banks in q
number Of States, including New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connec-
ticut, which Is another indication Of
their quality. According to the latest
statement, net earnings after deprecia-
ton was equivalent to ~ times interest
charges.
What has been said Of the bonds is
true in only little less degree Of the
preferred stock. It ranks among the
best Of such issues. The dividend rate
Is So annually, and 1t was recently
quoted around lis, at which price the
return would be 5.22 per cent. The
only objection that might be urged Is
that the small amount outstanding Is
a bar to an active market. The stock
is listed on the New York exchange,
$115 per share, or at approximately the
market price on so days notice, which
provision, Of course, limits the posi-
bility of appreciation.
The company controls the electric
light and power business In Kansas
City, Mo-, and serves directly or indi-
rectly a number of other communities
in Missouri and Kansas. There is no
public interest IN the common stock,
which Is owned by Kansas City Power
Securities Corporation and Continental
Gas g. Electric Corporation. The latter
is a subsidiary Of United Light b Power.

AIDE RESIGNS POST.
EccIeston Woman Quits Of

Clubs of Maryland.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, February 49, Mrs.
Edward H. McKeon, of Eccleston, Md,
has resigned as chairman of the Bill
board Restriction Committee of the
Federated Garden Clubs of Maryland
due to the press of other matters.
Her resignation has been rendered
20 Mrs. Duncan *. Brent, president
but has not been accepted by members
of the board. They are trying to pre-
vail upon Mrs. McKeon to retain the
Craftsmanship of the committee. This
she has consented to do, it is under
stood, but only until new chairman is
appointed.
Mrs. McKeon said that she felt she
had Laid the foundations for the work
and had made the people of Maryland
billboard conscious" and that it was
now time for someone else to carry on.
She began her campaign of opposi-
ton to billboardS and SignpostS along
the highways of Maryland a year ago,
when she accepted the Craftsmanship of
the Billboard Restriction Committee.
The green sticker devised by her, adj
vucating the preservation of roadside
beauty and urging that preference be
given to products not advertised on the
landscape was the first of its kind used
in the State. Maryland, she said, was
the first State to have such a method
of getting it's slogans against billboard
advertising across.
The movement has since received the
backing of a number of organizations
throughout Maryland and the BILL to be
presented to the Legislature this cur
rent session, is being sponsored by the
Southern Maryland Society, the Garden
Clubs of Maryland, the Civic League,
the Maryland League of Women Voters,
the Eastern High School Alumnae AS
scciation and the Council Of Jewish
Women.
1t provides that all outdoor adver-
Using companies operating in Maryland
shall pay an annual license of $500 and
q separate annual permit must be OBJ
tanned for each billboard erected within
500 feet of public highway, at the
rate of cents per square foot of bill
board area. Supervision of the licens-
ing of outdoor advertising companies is
placed with the State Roads Commits
sion and permits may be withheld by
the Commission If the projected bill
board constitutes menace to public
safety.

signboards on Maryland highways by q
license and taxation system.
It will require all outdoor advertising
companies 90 obtain an annual license,
and will impose an annual tax of cents
square foot on each individual bill
board.
The State Roads Commission would
be given the power to prohibit the cree
ton of signs at dangerous intersections
or at other points where they would
constitute menace to public safety.
Club Favors Bill.
The Mems Club of Laurel Endorsed
the measure on motion Of o. B. Hopkins,
it was announced by August Willard,
secretary. The action was taken after
some debate as to whether the organ
ization should place itself on record in
regard to legislative proposals. but the
matter was considered of such impor-
lance as to merit a definite expression
of sentiment by the club.
The club also urged the authorization
of an appropriation for an addition to
the Laurel High School.

Nv a STAFF CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 10
Declaring that the present system of
national prohibition constitutes a clear
departure from the fundamental prin-
ciples of government, enunciated by
him. Delegate Alexander Goodman of
Baltimore last night introduced a joint
resolution calling on Gov Richie to
become candidate for President of the
United States.
The resolution dropped into the House
hopper was of the joint variety and
needs Senate affirmation.
Cites Federal Invasion.
The language of the resolution cited
the fundamental principle" of the
people of Maryland that overcentrali-
cation of power in the Federal Govern
ment, along with invasion of States
rights by Federal statutes, was destruc-
tive to "our form of government and
of the liberties of our people"
'The present system of national pro-
hibition constitutes clear departure
from this principle of government, and

we believe the whole subject should be
turned back to the States so that each
State might have the opportunity Of
settling it in accordance with the wishes
of its own people,
In the person of Gov. Ritchie Mary
land has the outstanding champion of
these principles and the champion of
the rights of free people and free States
in free country man who. regard
less of political consequences, has force
fully, courageously and intelligently
advocated throughout the country a
return to them.
Increased Pride of Citizens.
Gov Ritchie's administration of the
affairs of the state of Maryland has
increased the pride of our citizenry in
being Marylanders because, by virtue of
the government he has given to our
Commonwealth, Maryland has become
one of the outstanding States of the
Nation and one of the best Common
wealths in the country and has made
of our Governor a national figure.
Therefore be it resolved, That the
Hon. Albert c. Richie, Governor of
Maryland, be, and he is hereby, petit
toned and requested TO become can
didate for the presidency of the United
States"

HAWAIIAN NOBILITY
MAY BE CHINESE KIN
Racial Similarity of Polynesians
and River People of Kwan-
tung Studied by Scientists.

HONOLULU Especially Possible re-
lationship between the high-class prim-
tive Hawaiians and the river folk of
Kwantung, China, is being traced by
scientists of the Bishop Museum of
Honolulu.
This is part of a search being made
by the museum to determine the origin
of the Polynesians, and already has &C.
cupied years. 1t is pretty well accepted
that the Polynesians came into the Pa
cific from Asia, but from just what part
of Asia is still an open question.
The scientists working on the dim
traces of ancient culture find some
likeness between the river Chinese and
the sea-faring Polynesians, particularly
those Polynesians of the chiefly or
lordly classes.
Certain kinship between Polynesians
