Burdened with news, Frank
c. walker, executive director
Of the National Emergency
Council, called a press con-
ference in his offices at the
Commercial National Bank
Building the other morn.
He was to meet the press at
1880 o'clock, and shortly be-
fore that hour the rooms ad-
jacent to his office were
crowded with impatient scribes.
Mr.. Walker had announced
he had an important an.
nouncement to make.
Bill Donaldson, House press
gallery superintendent, was on
hand to direct the newspaper
men who fretted in the ante
rooms. When the newshawkS
became exceedingly impatient
for the conference to begin,
it was pointed out that the
clock indicated it was 1925.
They continued to fret.
After many minutes of wait
ing for the clock to strike
1880, it was discovered that it
had long since ceased to- run!

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 6.-Five times
in its less than four years of life the
second Spanish Republic has beaten
back revolutions that threatened its
existence.
Today it writhed in the throes of
the sixth.
Strikes, riots, bombs, gunfre
and disorder in all their varied forms
have combined to make the Spanish
scene, since King Alfonso XII abdi-
Gated May IA, 1881, q turbulent and
q bloody one.
Subsequent agrarian and other re-
forms failed to satisfy extremists, who
launched their first rebellion, preceded
by strikes. in July, 1881. 1t was
quickly put down, with scores killed
and wounded.
A second extremist revolt was
crushed in January, 1882, after more
bloodshed, but the extremists-the
Socialists, Communists and Anarcho-
Syndicalists - attempted revolution
again one year later, and failed with
more than 100 lives lost.
The fourth revolt by radicals oc-

extremists suffered defeat.
Discomfort among Conservatives
had been growing. and an attempt
to restore Alfonso was made in August,

forces were defeated in "a hours.

WHISTLER EXHIBIT
SEEKAT CORcORAN
Julius GarfinckeI Shares
Etchings Collection With
Public.

Special opportunity FOR enjoyment il
afforded admirers Of the art Of James
McNeill Whistler through the inStAlla-
ton at the Corcoran Gallery Of Art Of
q loan exhibition consisting Of more
than two dozen Whistler etchings,
owned by. Julius Garfinckel Of this city.
This display, which has just been
opened and which is advantageously
situated in the upper atrium Of the
gallery, will be on view through sun
day, October 28.
Loan exhibits Of one or two works
Of art by individuals are not rare, gall
lery officials point out, but 1t is un-
, usual for the possessor Of q very con-
siderable group of works of high merit
to deprive himself of their enjoyment
in order to share them with the art
loving public. This collection, it is
learned, is usually displayed at au
times in the home of its owner.
Most Of the works in question were
done in the late 1850s and l860s and
are considered a worthy croSS-section
of WhiStler'S skill and tastes as an
etcher. A thorough technical criticism
thereof from the pen Of Leila Mechlin,
art critic Of The Star, will appear in
an early Sunday issue. The arts works
are beautifully presented, in the best
possible light. in the most prominent
spot in the gallery, in specially de-
signed cases, and many Of them are
contained in the special style of frame
preferred and used by the artist him
self. A number Of them bear the
famous butterfly signature" of their
author.
Washington is fortunate Just now,
1t is pointed out. in the richness Of
Whistler art available, for the Freer
Gallery Of Art contains the finest COL
lection Of Whistler etchings in the
world, together with many paintings
by this master, all Of which form o
portion Of its permanent exhibit.

PARIS CHAC0 REPORT
IS SCORED BY HULL
Statement Seeks to Correct In.
ference U. S. Opposed League
Peace Efforts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Hull yesterday called cut
terly false and misleading" a news
dispatch emanating from Paris and
published by the Havas Agency, a
French news service, which, he said
left the inference that the United
States was opposed to League of Ma
tions' efforts to promote peace in the
Chaco War between Paraguay and
Bolivia.
The story. he said, was widely
printed in Brazil yesterday Git was
not published in the United Ssates)
1t referred, he said, to sensations
caused in Paris by statements at
tributed to Assistant Secretary of
State Summer Welles.
Il think both of us many times have
stated exactly the attitude of this
Government in respect to all phases
of the Chaco, and of persons or gov
ernments or agencies that might seek
to make a contribution to the peace
movement down there" the Secretary
said. adding:
Il have a number of times said
that, in addition to any and all ef-
forts that this Government might find
itself able to participate in to pro-
mote or assist in promoting peace in
the Chaco, this Government particu-
larly is always ready to join with other
American nations and themselves
working out settlements of the con-
troversies by the countries or nations
are promoting peace in this hemi-
sphere
"At the same time when any peace
agency like the League Commission
in the Chaco during the last Spring
and Summer seeks in a practical way
to aid or to cooperate or to contribute
materially to the promotion of peace
in the Chaco. our Government un-
heSitatingly offers its cooperation in
any feasible or practical way, acting,
of course, on its own independent and
individual judgment and functioning
in the same manner"
