JOHNSON DELAYS
SECURITIES PROBE
State Department Officials
Testify Tomorrow on Inter-
vention in Colombia.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
State Department representatives
went to Capitol Hill today to answer
testimony that they had intervened tc
influence New York bankers to lend
money to Colombia, but the hearing
was postponed.
Senator Johnson, Republican, OF
California, asked the Senate Finance
Committee to delay the hearing until
tomorrow to permit him to study CORE
spondence between the National City
Co. and the South American govern
ment about the loans.
Francis White, Assistant Secretary of
State, and other department officials
were on hand to testify.
Department Explains Acts.
White, a specialist In Latin American
affairs, was to be called as a result Of
Yesterdays testimony by an official of
the National City Co. that the depart
ment interviewed to encourage a loan
to, Colombia. The department declared
last night it acted in the Colombian
case solely lin the usual exercise of
appropriate good Offices" and "the
fostering of friendly relations between
the two peoples"
The statement brought new out
burst of criticism from Senator Glass
of Virginia, former Secretary of the
Treasury, who is a long-standing foe
of the State Departments policy on
foreign loans.
The Colombian case, he contended,
was one in which the department urged
bankers to make loan which they
themselves did not approve.
Oil Charge Denied.
He construed it as an attempt to
present a measure of truth" regarding
its custom of looking over projected
loans to other governments after mot
telling the truth the other day" when
a statement of policy was submitted
White had been In the committee
room throughout the testimony yester-
day and had a hand in preparing the
department comment 1t specifically
denied that restoration of an oil con-
cession to American interests had en-
tered into the Colombian loan talks.
This was a point Senator Johnson
instigator of the investigation, particu-
larly sought to throw light on in his
questioning of the bank witnesses.

such ownership was rare when the law
was enacted.
Patman quoted extensively from a
deposition given by Mellon in 1923, in
New York case involving business
combination. between the Mellon-owned
Aluminium Co and the Canadian manu-
featuring and development, an alumni
mum concern controlled by the late
James B. Duke.
Numerous conversations were men,
toned between Mellon and A. v. Davis
president of the Aluminium Co. of
America. One of these meetings took
place in Pittsburgh, and Mellon was
quoted as saying in "our bank" in
which Davis is director.
Says Mellon Met Duke.
Davis told Mellon, according to the
deposition, that Duke would like to
come to Washington and discuss with
him the business negotiations.
"I said would be glad to have Mr..
Duke to come to dinner and discuss 1t, i"
Patman read from Melons deposition.

duct or direct participation in busi-
neSs?" Patman was asked.
1T is my purpose to show he directly
participated in carrying on the busl-
ness of the aluminium company"
He said Davis in one instance tele-
graphed the Duke interests that Mel
lon and his brother, r. B. Mellon, had
expressed a preference for a particular
type of agreement relative to power
facilities. He also quoted Mellon as
stating he had signed an agreement on
a train in Canada.
THE original merger agreement does
not bear his signature" Patman ex-
planned, but Mellon said later that he
was present when it was signed and
knew what was in it."
THE Aluminium Co. Of America has
been violating the antitrust laws for
the last is years, and no effort has
been made to stop it," Patman said.

City Is Quiet Today.
Japanese marines landed about mid
night and dispersed the rioters. The
city was quiet today, except for the
jostling of Chinese attempting to board
trains for Tsinanfu.
The normally peaceful Japanese con-
sulate was turned into veritable fort
ress tonight, bristling with machine
guns mounted on the fat roof Of the
building.
There were unconf1rmed reports that
the Chinese were planning reprisals.
The japanese consul said he was unable

the marines be landed, after first OBJ

FRANCE TO RENEW
GERMANY'S CREDIT
Paris Expected to Withdraw
Reservations Against
Short Loans.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 13.-The best avail
able information today was that the
Bank of France will renew its one
fourth share of $1o0,oo0,0O0 interna-
tional Short-term credit to Germany
when it expires next month. At the
bank it was said today the Council of
Regents may take action on the renewal
question tomorrow.
After the meeting of the world bank
directors last week, Clement Moret,
governor of the Bank of France, re-
served the right of that institution to
refuse a renewal of its share of the
credit. The board had renewed the
share taken by the world bank on
the understanding that the three other
participants also would renew. These
are the Bank of France, the Bank of
England and the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York.
Gold Standard Threatened.
Hans Luther, head of the German
Reichsbank, was reported to have told
M. Moret at Basel that If the Bank
of France refused an extension Ger

gold standard.
Meanwhile Sir Frederick Leith- Ross,
representing Great Britain, was con-
ferring with French financiers in an
effort to reach an understanding on
reparations before the beginning of the
projected debts conference at Lausanne.
Those negotiations ended yesterday
apparently without definite agree
ment
1t was reported, however, that the
French proposal which Sir Frederick
took back to London, is for two-year
moratorium on the conditional pay
ments due from Germany and an issue
of German railroad bonds to be turned
over to France in lieu of unconditional
annuities.
Part of that bond issue would be
turned over to the United States in
payment of war debts.
The British were said to have held
out for a f1ve-year moratorium on con-
ditional payments and the suspension
of unconditionl annuities as well dur
ing the same period.

BRITISH WANT EXTENSION.
Cabinet Meets to Consider Stand to B.
Taken at Lausanne.

LONDON, January 13 R.-The
cabinet met again today to prepare for
the Lausanne Ieparations conference
which will start on January 25 if the
French cabinet can be reorganized in
time.
There was no confirmation here for
French reports of an agreement to pro-
pose a two-year extension of the debts
moratorium, and it was said unofficially
such an agreement could not be
reached in the present political stu
alton.
1t is well known, of course, that the
whole trend Of European policy has
been to secure an extension of the
moratorium and speculation continues
as to how long an extension may be
asked.
In London a five-year extension is
expected, but the official British view
has not been outlined. 1t was thought
that the Lausanne conference might
petition the United States for an ex-
tension of from one to five years.

BERLIN, January 13 (P).-Negouia-
lions with committee of foreign bank
ers concerning Germany's stand StnP'
credits have made considera BILE progress
it was said today, but any report an
agreement has been reached or is i'm
minent, Is premature.
Last night the German representa-
tive reported to a meeting of German
bankers on the progress of the negotia-
tions and there was considerable dis
cussion of proposal to release a por-
ton of the short-term credits in marks
for investment in Germany.
The impression here IS that in any
agreement reached on the basis of the
present discussions, danger to the
Reichsbank's foreign currency reserve
will to a large extent be excluded.

EXPLAIN FAIR
PLANS TO MEN
OF THE C. OF C.
Group Taken to Grounds to
Be Shown Implements;
Support Being Given Lib
orally for Fall Show

Details of the improvement work
planned this year at the fair
grounds were explained to the
Chamber Of Commerce group this
afternoon when they were taken
to the grounds following the regu-
lar luncheon.
President C. C. Williams of the
fair association pointed out the
removal of the temporary build
ings, to be rebuilt on the little
bench alongside the new perman-
emit structure set up last year. BY
the removal Of the temporary
buildings to their new location
more space will become available
in the grove for the accommodation
of the crowds during the pro-
grams on the platform.
1t is also planned to enlarge the
platform and make other improve
ments there, to level the grounds
somewhat and get the whole area
planted to grass. If the drive for
funds which was started this
week ends as successfully as ii
has started, it will be possible to
secure a deed to the land, it is
hoped, so that the Port District
may proceed with its plan for the
erection of a couple more addi-
tional buildings. The committee in
charge of the soliciting found a
splendid spirit among those bust
nessmen interviewed and except in
one instance all increased their do
nations to the work. A committee
will make the rounds of the Pasco
businessmen tomorrow.

Pure luck alone prevented Ken

of one of those terrible crimes
against children which have been
filling the columns of the metrop-
olitan press lately.
Early this week two children of
family prominent in town, were
allowed to go to the park to play.
The little boy was permitted TO
wade in the pool, while his sister,
subject to hay fever, was not al
lowed to get wet. Standing watch
ing the fun with longing eyes, she
was accosted by a stranger who
asked why she was not in the wa
ter with the rest of the children.
On a promise to secure for her
a pretty bathing suit and a dol
lar, the stranger led the trusting
little girl down the ditch bank. The
little brother and another playmate
ran home and the the mother call
ed the little girl back. She said

CROPS RETURN
BIG MONEY TO
THIS DISTRICT
Quarter of a Million Dollars
Already for Early Crops
Produced in Local Area;
Production Costs Lowered

No other agricultural district in
the Pacific Northwest has been
able to show the returns already
received by the Kennewick dis
trict this spring. In round num-
bers, conservatively estimated,
Kennewick's early crops have brot
to the district quarter of a mil
lion dollars, it was reported at the
noon luncheon of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Starting with the asparagus,
which brought about $85 700, the
strawberry crop came on with a
gross return of about SIS, 900. One
grower. reported that he had re-
ceived SLIT per crate for the en-
tire season, a price which under
the present conditions he consider
ed excellent. The cherry harvest
now being completed would mean
at least 100000 in cash to local
people.
Prices this year, on the local
products, while considerably under
what we have been considering
normal, nevertheless have been,
on the whole, better than was an
ticipated and provided a profit to
those farmers who have trimmed
their production costs to suit pres
emit conditions, in the opinion of
the county agent.

Campaign and Several New
Settlers Brought in

The advertising committee of
the local Chamber of Comerce has
been getting away with it's efforts
this year better than ever before
in the history of the town, accord
ing to report made this noon at
the regular luncheon.
The campaign started this
spring thru the newspapers and
the radio, later backed up the new
booklets have brought an unusual
~ large number of replies. In adj
dition, the personal replies in the
form of visits, has greatly exceed
ed the expectations of any of the
committee. AS result several
sales of local property have al
ready been made and agreements
made for other deals.
Publicity for the outside news
papers has been prepared and
much of it has been printed, to-
gether with pictures of various
scenes in our locality. Five times
the district has broken into the ed
itorial columns of city newspa-
pers and the district has profited
by the favorable comments.
Following the inquiries from
the advertising, the booklets were
sent to all who requested informa-
ton. Later a self-addressed reply
card was sent to all who had not
made personal visits here. More
than twenty percent of those so
addressed have replied, according
to Secretary Geo. D. Peters, and
this percentage is considered
nothing less than remarkable. The
advertising of Kennewick this
year has been very effective in the
opinion of the local committee.

Club Leader Offers Her
Services; Select Com
mittee Appointed

Mrs. Mary Davis, county club
leader, has offered her services
through the auspicies Of the re-
lief committee, to those who need
help in canning and drying farm
and tree products for the coming
winter. Mrs. Davis is starting on
two weeks vacation and has an
nounced her willingness to devote
that period to the above work.
The matter was brought before
the Chamber of Commerce this
noon and plans were formulated
for taking advantage of Mrs.
Davis offer. The Chamber pro-
poses to handle the relief work
this coming year through an ex-
ecutive committee which will have
entire charge of the work, that of
soliciting funds and the disburse-
ment Of them.
1t was proposed that this COM
mittee be composed of a member
from the Chamber, one from the
Legion and the third from the XII
wants or Woman's club. The gen.
eral plan is to see that all those
who may possibly ask for assist
ance, make all preparations pos
sible now in the way of securing
foodstuffs which will keep until
winter. Canned fruits and vege-
tables and dried fruits, canned
meats and so on will be put up.
Owing to the general economic
conditions, it is anticipated that
the need for relief work will be
greater this year than last and the
funds available for this work will
be even less than was had last
year.
