Protection of the purchaser OF real
estate against sudden foreclosure sale
without period of notice and day
in court" is the objective of one of
the bills included by the District Com
missioners in their legislative program
for consideration at the session OF
Congress beginning next Thursday.
The same measure was introduced
last year by Chairman King OF the
Senate District Committee.
Under the present law, foreclosure
sales are left to the discretion Of the
trustees under deeds of trust. A major
feature of the suggested new law
would be that order would have to
be issued by District Supreme Court
before a sale could be held.
The purchaser Of the property
would have to be given a period OF
80 DAYS in which to remedy the de-
fault in payments before foreclosure
sale proceedings could be started.
May Make Changes.
Senator King has informed Dis
trict officials he will reintroduce the
measure early in the session but re-
serves the right to make changes If
he finds need for them.
Preliminary action, in cases where
the buyer was in default in payment
of interest or principal, would be
started by the mortgage or trustee by
filing an affidavit with the auditor
of the court. setting forth the nature
of the default, the name of the owner
of record of the property, his last
known address and other data.
1t would be the duty of the auditor
TO send q notice by registered mail,
with a return receipt. to the pur-
chaser. The auditor would make q
report to the court II, after 90 days,

night the colonel said they had been
trying for 20 years to get together
for this expedition and now the time
has come.
The colonel and his party will con-
trast the oldest trail of the white man
on this continent with the newest
method of travel overland, by motor

he observed They expect to find
little left by the Spaniards, for they
tore down instead of building up, de-
clared the colonel There is a settle
ment some 40 miles from Vera Cruz
called Cempoala, where Cortez caught
his first glimpse of the temples.
The ruins there the colonel expects
to see. At one point on the trail a
gorge comes out of mountain, and
there was stone wall some 20 feet
thick at the base to aid the water
system. They will see if they can
find traces of this on their journey.
Col. Valentini declared that they
will pass through three different In
dian countries on this trip. Even now
after 400 years, these Indians do not
speak Spanish, he said, pointing out
that there are over 100 languages in
Mexico.

BRAZIL ARMS DEAL
LINKED T0LANS|NG
U. S. State Secretary in
1918 Swung Contract
to Americans.

Ofdcial volumes disclosed yesterday
that the State Department under
Robert Lansing, Secretary of State In
1918 and 1919, actively sought to halt
the award Of a contract from the
Brazilian government to the British
munitions combine of Vickers- Arm
strong for the construction of a
marine arsenal and arms manufac-
turing works.
Secretary Lansing and the Amer
lean Ambassador to Brazil, Edwin v.
Morgan, used their influence to shift
the contract to an American firm. A
copy of the proposed British contract
was sent by Morgan to the State De-
partment and then in turn trans
mitted to American steel companies.
Matter Dropped Later.
As a result of its sponsorship by the
State Department, the Bethlehem
Steel Co. was advanced as the Amer
lean contestant for the contract. The
private steel and munitions firms
finally took broader view Of the
whole matter than the nationalistic
outlooks Of their governments, how
ever. and formulated an arrangement
to share in the contract.
Apparently satisfied with this re-
suit and content to leave the per-
centage distribution of interests in
the contract to the firms involved,
the State Department dropped the
matter. An official department nota-
tion on the subject indicated inter-
nationalism in the munitions trade
had triumphed. 1t recorded this mes
sage from Ambassador Morgan:
Naval commission presumably he
meant a Brazilian commissicn) now
studying specifications. A very active
British American group, Armstrong
3ethlehem-Vickers,a assisted by experts,
are furnishing data to commission"
Record Just Made Public.
This record on the Brazilian deal
was included in the State Depart
ment's latest two volumes of official
papers covering diplomatic corre-
spondence with many countries in
1919. Most of the papers were con-
fidential at the time. The volumes
were released Friday for publication
yesterday.

Committee, under Senator ,Nye, had

LERROUX SPIKES RUMOR
OF CABINET DOWNFALL
Declares Government Is Not Re-
sponsible for Dismissal of
Charges Against Azana.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, December 29-Premier
Alexandra Lerroux sought definitely
tonight to spike insistent reports of
an imminent cabinet downfall as a
result of ministerial dissension over
the Supreme Court dismissal of
charges against Manual AZana and
Luis Bello.
Lerroux said: ut is true that con-
siderable dissension was aroused by
the Supreme Court action, inasmuch
as 1t was that body which first sought
indictments against the pair. Every
one interpreted that move as an in
dication they surely would be brought
to trial. The resultant dismissal of
the charges can hardly be explained.
However, the action taken by the
court cannot be confused with the
governments attitude, and the gov
ernment is not responsible. Some
difficulties have arisen, and these will
be adjusted amicably and without the
necessity of total crisis"

Opens Season

A tremendously enthusiastic au-

ing Of the season of the National
Symphony Orchestra and received
a musical thrill.
Fresh from his summer on the
continent. DIR. Kinder has drilled
his orchestra until it was in mid
season form for the opening con-
cert, not a mean achievement.
The program was just what the
day waS-bright and sparkling.
Perhaps the most interesting num-
Der was the Mother Goose suite Of
Ravel, and it was we'll received in
its first offering here.
Certainly not a symphony. but
a delightful etching in music, as
different from the usual Ravel as
day is from night, the suite is
delicate and colorful.
Dvorak's Fifth Symphony, so
well known and popular, was well
done, the reading Of the Largo
being particularly fine.
A short and little known. yet
charming. overture Of Cherubini
opened the program. and to close
it there was the lusty Rakoczy
March of Berlioz, one Of the most
stirring things ever written.
All in all, the opening program
was more light than symphonic,
but, after all, it was a popular con-
cert in every respect. admirably
presented. C. E. B. P.
