Cherry Blooms
Find Weather
Puzzling

With Easter Sunday near,
the japanese cherry blossoms
are having quite a time of it.
First, they were endangered
because of yesterdays weather.
AS Albert Clyde-Burton, public
parks horticulturalist, put it:
Zone more day like yester-
day, combined with a little
rain and a stiff breeze and the
blossoms will be half gone by
Sunday"
Today, the blossoms had an
entire change of weather. They
were shivering; but it was good
for them. At least it was bet
ter than the warmth Of yes
terday.
Under ordinary conditions,
according to Mr.. Clyde Barton,
the blossoms last in all their
glory for about 10 days. The
blossoms are now at their
height.
The double blooming trees in
East Potomac Park are a little
backward. They are expected
to blossom forth about April %.

SLASHES: LOOM
IN COMMERCE
DEPARTMENT
Sec. Roper Expected to Tell
Details Tomorrow at
Press Conference

Commerce Department employees
are awaiting Secretary Daniel c.
Roper's first press conference to-
morrow in the hope that some def
mite information may be forthcom-
ing regarding the drastic reorgani.
zation they know is coming in
their department.
Now, in view of his decision to
meet the washington correSpon-
dents and a few statements made
in his radio speech last night, the
third he has made, it is believed
that he has completed the essen
tial outlines Of the reorganization
plan.
Announces Slash
Each Of the three radio speeches
has dealt in some degree with re-
organization. The first verified
it's imminence, the second gave
reports long current as to its ex-
tent by the statement that this
years budget for the department
would be only $26,000,000, as
against $40,000,00 last year.
Congress-, he said, had cut the
1888 figure to $36, 200, 900, but the
Administration had decided that
a further $10,000,000 cut was es-
sential. He continued:
"This is the first time in the
history of our Government, SO
far as know, that an Admins
tratiOn has suggested that it is
not wise or afe to use money
which the Congress itself has al
ready appropriated.
SHOULD CALL TUNE"
"The taxpayer has been pay
ing the fiddler all these years;
surely 1t is time he should exer.
else his right to call the tune"
Roper went on to say that al
though the department must op-
crate on a third less money this
year, it's usefulness will not be
curtailed. It's agengies will be
"simplified," Staffs will be re-
duced and esprit de corps"
raised-tfe last a bit difficult,
ordinarily, while staffs are being
cut.
In general, the indications are
that forecasts of the changes in
the department will be borne out,
that the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce will be strip
ped of its commodities divisions
and much Of its statistical work,
that its agents abroad will be
reduced in number and that there
will be cuts of considerable ex-
ten in the other bureaus.

Ill VET LEAPS

ing, has not been found. A fish.
ing rod believed to be his was

Several witnesses said they saw
Imam jump.
He was employed as a switch

usually moody during the past

charge if any effort had been made to notify fishermen in Alaska af the meeting, and was, told that fixaing associations located in Seattle and San Francisco containing the word "A.aska,' had, been notified but no at tempt had been made to reach fisher men actually and continuously rrsi- dent in. the Territory.
 That admission drew from the Del .egate spirited protest. He said that .h associations in San Francisco and Seattle were not truly representative of Alaska fishermen and the latter shoa.t have had opportunity to be present.. He said further that even if they had heen notified, the cost of cor ng to Washington, would hxye teldiEg and in view of the import ance of the Alaska fisheries and the number of persons. making living therefrom, hearings should. have been held in Alaska.
 In support of his, contention the Delegate offered.the following amend menu to the proposed code:
 "sProvided, that the provisions of this code shall apply to the Territory of Alaska onlYupon the orde of the President, and with such modifica- tons. if any, as the President may deem just and equitable after a hear ing before theAdministrator or a Deputy Administrator. at which hear ing those residents of Alaska who are employed in the fishing industry have fair opportunity to be heard. '
 The presiding official ruled the amendment was out. of order on the ground that the meeting was one in which the only participants entitled to take. part in the proceedings were associations engaged in the industry, and that the Delegate, having no di- rect proxy to represent either packer or fisherman, was there somewhat in the status of guest. However, Del .egate Dimond believes his point was well taken and he will continue to urge that the. code be not applied to Alaska, until Alaska fishermen have chance to be heard
