Edward j. Kelley was named

Agrees to Retire
After expressing his desire to
remain in the service, Burke con-

declared he had agreed to ask
for retirement on half pay. He
said, however, that although he
was below par" physically he
was convinced that it was only
a temporary condition. adding:
"When a retiring board goes

Scouting Force Remains in
( Western Waters Because of
Expenditures for oil

! On the even of the publica-
tion of the League Of Nations
report on Japan's military in
vasion Of Manchuria, the Navy
Department today announced
the United States scouting
force will remain in Pacific
waters for another year.
The scouting force comprises
some of the finest fighting ships
in the Navy. Normally it's home
base is in the Atlantic. 1t was
sent to the Pacific last January
to take part in fleet maneuvers
off the Pacific Coast at the time
the Sino-Japanese crisis was at
its heighth, and the ships have
remained in the Pacific ever
since.
Announcement of the decision
to keep the fleet in the Pacific
was made by Admiral William v.
Pratt. chief of naval operations.
He said:
1T is the present intention
of the Navy Department to keep
the scouting force in the Pacific
until after the next fleet con-
centratiOn, which takes place
next winter.
This assemblage of the two
forces, the scouting force and
the battle force, permits of a
greater degree of fleet training
that is possible during the some
what limited time of fleet con-
centratiOn.
Moreover, being assembled
now. it is more Economical in
the matter Of oil expenditures
for the fleet to operate in this
manner than to be broken up
and later reaSsembled for the
usual fleet concentration"

POPE SCORES
PERSECUTION
IN MEXICO
Pontiff Exhorts Catholics to
Remain United Behind
Their Religious Leaders

VATICAN CITY, Sept. 80
G.N.S. Pope Plus XI issued
a new encyclical tit l e d
"Acerba Animi," dealing with
the Mexican-Catholic contro-
versy today.
The document was dated Sep
tember 20, but was not made
public until today.
It denounced the persecution"
of Catholics in Mexico, which it
charged was carried on by the
Mexican government after an
agreement had been reached in
1929 permitting resumption in
Mexico Of free Catholic worship.
Reviews History
In the document Pope Plus re-
called the events Of recent years
leading to the 1929 agreement
and explained the reasons the
Holy See concluded the accord
opening all Mexican churches to
worship while the government
agreed to mitigate application of
the anti-religious laws.
But all hopes for settlement
went smashing, he continued,
when instead of peace, new and
worse prosecutions were enacted
against Catholics, all leading up
to the governmental measure linn
iting the number of Catholic
priests allowed in Mexico.
Turning from the history of
the controversy, the Pope advised
the Mexican clergy and worship
pers as to what they should do
under the circumstances.
He particularly affirmed the
point, which he called a matter
for discussion between Mexican
Catholics. that forced acceptance
of VeXations does not mean ap-
proval of these laws"
BeStOwS Blessing
Non-co operation with the per-
scouting government, the Pope
declared, cannot be condemned.
The document concluded with
an exhortation to ht prosecuted
Catholics to obey their religious
leaders and to remain united with
them. In this way, the Pope said,
they would conf ound their
enemies.
1t bestowed the Pope's blessing
on all faithful Mexicans, particu-
larly those who had been victims
of persecution.

TARIFF ATTACK
WINS GARNER .

Speaker John N. Garner, Demo
cratic Vice Presidential candi-
date, today declared that Gov
ernor Roosevelt, in his Sioux City
speech last night, showed "his
comprehensive grasp of national
problems" and his sympathy for
people who we're refused aid by
the Republican Administration.
Garner praised Roosevelt's ana
lysis of the HaWley Smoot tariff
bill increase in Governmental eX-
penditures. He said:
Governor ROOSevelt'S Sioux
City speech struck direct to the
Root of thc evil responsible for
the existing economic conditions
and cannot fail to impress all
whose minds are open to sound
lOfic.
His statement in reference
to economy in Governmental
expenditures will be of special
interest to the Over-burdened
taxpayers, and his assertion
that the President has the right
and even the duty of taking a
moral leadership in bringing
about a reduction of State and
local taxes as well as those of
the Federal Government will
strike resp OnSive chord
throughout the country.
"That is the kind of leader
ship the country needs, leader
ship which has beer denied
under this Republican Admin
iStratiOn. 1t is manifest that
until the country has leadership
of this kind, there will be very
little reduction in the tax bur

Butcher Refrigerated" While
Thugs Tie Up Manager
and Customers ~

Two thugs early today
bound and gagged the man
ager and two employees of a
grocery in the 1890 block Con-
duit Rd. N. W., in an armed
hold-up. They also gagged
two customers who entered the
store while the robbery was in
progress.
The manager and the employees
were held prisoners nearly an
hour. All five men struggled
loose after the robbers had forced
the msrsFsr, Kent r. Cooper, to
open the safe.
Copper had claimed he did not
know the combination but a fel-
low employe inadvertently re-
vealed that he did. The robbers
escaped with an undetermined
amount of cash.
Robbers Wait Long
Copper claimed the safe COM
bination was known only to q
supervisor, who would call a little
later. The robbers, on the
strength of this, waited in the
store nearly an hour.
The two men followed Copper
into the store when he arrived
at about 7 a. m. One asked for
a price of 10 pounds of sugar
and before Copper could answer
both whipped out automatic
pistols.
They then ordered him to lie
down in a rear room and used
the stores cord to tie him.
Ice Room as Prison
Harry w. Munday, butcher, and
Clark McMullen, clerk, appeared
next and both were bound and
gagged. Munday was placed in
the ice room and McMullen in a
rear room.
When j. M. Crawley. 1900 block
of V st. N. w., a customer, en-
tered, the thugs bound him and
threw him under a counter. Boxes
were piled over him and he was
ordered to keep still.
Fireman Uriah M. Westbrook,
of No. 20 Engine Company, which
has its house near by, was the
next to enter. He asked for Gig
arettes, thinking one of the rob
bers to be new employe
The man produced his pistol
and ordered Westbrook to lie
down in some sawdust in the
rear of the store. He was then
tied up.
you'll Get Yours"
The robber at first took quar-.
ter the fireman had taken from
his pocket to pay for the smokes
but returned it and hit Westbrook
in the face. Westbrook said he
told him:
you'll get yours for this"
Shortly after this the robbers
learned Copper knew the safes
combination and made him open
the safe in the rear office.
Westbrook was the first to
break his bonds and call police.
The thugs were described as
about 80. One had pop eyes,"
was of light complexion, and wore
a brown sweater, blue trousers
and a yellow cap. The other wSs
of slender build and wore a dark
suit.

SEEKS TO SPUR SALE
OF FARM BULLETINS
Special Postal Cards to Order In
formation Planned.


By Scripps- Hotcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The de-
partment of agriculture, which dis
tributes 250O0,00O printed bulletins
year, and qualities as the nations
largest information bureau, has de-
vised a plan to make it easier for
farmers and others to avail them
selves of this service.
In cooperation with postofice
and treasury officials, the depart
ment is working out an arrange
ment whereby postoffices and rural
carriers would sell printed, self-ad-
dressed postcards, which would be
valid only for the purchase Of gov
eminent bulletins.
The cost of the card would in
clude the price of the bulletin and
the purchaser would need only to
sign his name and specify the bull
letin he desired He would he re-
ieved of writing, addressing and
stamping letter and transmitting
coin, stamps or money order to pay
for the bulletin.
The cards would be of various
colors, blue representing a scent
bulletin, red representing 10 cents,
green IS cents and so on. An ex-
ira cent would be charged for post
age on the card.
M. S. Eisenhower, director of the
information bureau, believes the re-
duced cost and the convenience
would stimulate the use of the serv-
ice.

Danced Good, After All

THERE may be some doubt re-
Il garding Governor Harry c..
Leslie's craftsmanship, but it can't
be denied that he is an excellent
story teller.
Saturday just after a thousand
or so Christmas baskets were dis
tributed to the poor, hungry, and
unemployed, one of the Statehouse
correspondents with a philosophical
turn of mind, suggested that pint
of good whisky in each basket would
have been an excellent gift, because
it would have instilled the glow of
warmth in their breasts and revived
hope.
For to quote a Roman essayist:
THE miserable have no other
medicine,
But only hope"
Which reminded Leslie Gas most
things do of a story concerning a
farmer down in southern Indiana,
who had been having pretty tough
shedding.
Christmas day this farmer wan
dered over to a neighbours house and
there gave expression to his over
whelming woe.
My forty acres produced a good
crop, but I couldn't get the cost of
the seed out of it, he walled. MY
wife is sick, my best COW has gone
dry, and, to cap it all, my hound
dog, the best in the whole DANCED
county, is about ready to die"
n II
The neighbor sympathized and,
passing a bottle, told him to have
drink.
The farmer took one, and as he
couldn't very we'll turn back a bottle
discourteous, took another.
Conditions assumed slightly
roster hue.
Now that come to think of it"
said he. L guess I got as good a
price for my crops as any one else
around here, but things are sure
tough. Especially about that hound
dog"
The bottle passed again, and
again.
And the neighbor expressed fur
Their sympathy with his troubles.
Well" said the farmer, after all,
the price of the crops wasn't so bad,
considering. and 1 know of a store
medicine that might restore my
wife'S health, but my best COW sure
is sick and where in the world can
4 get a hound to match mine?
Things are plenty tough"
Again the bottle passed and sew
eral more sips were taken. (This
is making me thirsty0
BY then the farmer was throwing
back his shoulders and ready to
battle the world, said the Governor.
n
Il have a chance to fix up my COW,
at that" the farmer said, in answer
to the others sympathy, but that
hound dog sure worries me. I can't
replace him."
