Magill was interrogated vigor-
ously by Seton Darr, attorney
for the Alderney-Green Meadows
Fairfax dairy. Darr attempted,
along with Senator King, chair
man of the committee, to get
from Magill an admission that
association heads and others had
tried to fix the price Of milk in
this area, but Magill denied this.
Senator King asked who spor1-

other heads of the Maryland

Magill explained that the asso-

posal makes actual provision for
test cases.
The seventh provision, for re-
organization Of the judiciary, will
undoubtedly prove interesting to
Americans. 1t would take the ju-
dietary completely out of politics
by giving the president powers to
appoint the supreme courts mem
bers-one from a list Of three sub
mitted by a special commission OF
high court members, senators, and
representatives, specially chosen,
and one member Of the bar. The
senate would have to confirm the
Presidents appointment.
The high court would be EN-.
powered to make all other Judi
cial appointments in the II classes
of offices, but only by promotion
from the next lower class. The
lowest class would be chosen
through special Civil Service eX.
animation. This plan opens the
judiciary branch of the govern.
ment to career men.
Civic Service Strengthened
The proposed reorganization Of
the prosecutors branch would
compel prosecutors to try all
cases and would make them also
career men, chosen by civil serv-
ice examination.
In explaining the new provis-
ions, which the administration
hopes soon to enact into law, De
La -orriente said:
"I hope Congress will pro-
vide a constitutional cOnven-
tiOn and ratify the reforms by
early next year.
The only way out Of our
trouble is to support President
De Cespedes and help enact
his program. Only foolish men
oppose it."
President De Cespedes issued q
statement in which he frankly
asked for support. It said:
"My 90 'ernment responds to
the popular will. 1t is neces-
Sary now to have cooperation
from those interested in chang
ing the provincial and muni-
cipal authorities throughout
the island.
"The changes made up to

tiOn taken in the provinces. AS
soon as tranquility is COM
pIete, the Government will in

U.N.SO Sonora Gerardo Ma
chado, the wife of Cuba's over
thrown dictator, her three daugh-
ters and their husbands, five
grandchildren, and a retinue Of
servants today sought safety and
refuge in Philadelphia.
Suddenly changing their plans
to proceed directly to New York,
the party debarked from their
train in West Philadelphia early
today and took several suites on
the tenth floor of a hotel near
the campus of the University Of
Pennsylvania.
Fear of reprisals at the hands
OF enemies of Machado, now in
exile in New York, was believed to
have precipitated the apparently
sudden c. change in the party's
plans. It was said friends of the
am ly in private messages ad-
vised against topping in New

Police Guard Quarters
A police guard was Immediately
thrown about their quarters, al
though the party had proceeded
from the station by taxicab to the
hotel without such protection.

plan to remain in Philadelphia for
at least three or four days, her
son-in-law, Jose Emilia Obregon,
whose plan it was to debark here,
said. He added:

much quieter than New York.
"After we are here for a few
days we may go to one of your
eeaShOre resorts for a rest"
Feels No Anxiety
Obregon declared he felt no con-
Germ over the safety of the party.
He said he believed no one would
seek to harm them because of the
presence of women and children.
Obregon a d Sonora Machado
has borne her ordeal calmly and
without fear. He said she slept
comfortably last mig ht as they
sped here by train.
He denied report that Antonio
Ainciarte, former Havana chief Of
police, at first reported killed in
the revolution, was with the
party.
Obregon, as spokesman for the
party, told of the flight of the
refugees from Vanader, a fash
ionable resort, early Saturday
morning. He described how
Sonora Machado, he and his wife
and two children, and Rafael
Sanchez y Abilla, another Son-ir'
law of Machado. his wife and
two children, were joined by DR..
Baldeomer Grau, another son-in-
law, his wife and child. and how
they fled to the harbor.
GunbOat Awaited Them
There a Cuban gunboat, the
General Juan Brun zayas, took
them safely to Key West. Obre-
gon said the party was treated
with great courtesy by members
of the crew and by all others with
whom they had come in contact
since their departure from Cuba.
: Sonora Machado denied herself
to interviewers, although she sent
q message through Obregon that
she was we'll and happy that her
husband had escaped safely.
While passing through Wash

ceived a cable from Machado, sent
from Nassau, in the Bahamas. It
said in effect:

IS FORUM SPEAKER
Acting Secretary of Navy
Will Discuss Adequacy
of U. S. Navy.

Col. Henry L. Roosevelt, Acting Sec
retary of the Navy, will discuss the
question as to whether America has an
adequate Navy in the National Radio
Forum Tuesday night, at $50 O'Clock.
The forum is arranged by The WASH
ington Star and broadcast over coast
to-coast network of the National Broad
casting Co.
Col. Roosevelt is one of the few As
sistant Secretaries the Navy ever has
had who is a naval man by profession
He was midshipman during the
Spanish-American War and served in
that war under Admiral Wilson.
Naval preparedness has become lately
of paramount importance throughout
the world. All the naval powers are
Fastening their constructions so as to
have the full quota allowed them in the
London naval pact, at the new naval
conference in 1885
The American Navy has been neglect
ed during the last 10 years, according
to many officials. 1t served mainly as
means for political bargaining in the
endeavor Of the previous administra-
tions to achieve general disarmament.
After the London treaty had given
this country parity with Great Britain,
the building program was slowed down
to almost nothing in order to prove to
the other countries Americas desire to
disarm. The result is that even if every
navy yard in the country would work
for "a hours day during the next two
and one-half years. this country would
be short of its quota of men of war by
some 100000 tons. The United States
Navy does not serve only to defend the
coasts and the trade of this country in
case of emergency, but is also an ele-
ment for the maintenance of law and
order and for protection of American
life and property abroad The we'll
being of this country depends largely
on an adequate naval force, and if it
is deficient in material and personnel
it will not be able to fulfill its task.
This question. as to whether the
Navy is adequate to its task. will be
thoroughly analyzed by Mr.. Roosevelt.
