MORGAN GUARDED
WHILE IN CAPITAL
Secret Service Agents Are
Augmented by Private
Protective Corps.

The head Of the house Of Morgan
is under constant protection Of pri-
vate guards and secret service mer
during his appearances before the
Senate Munitions Committee.
Always guarded by his own "secret
service" the 6s-year-old head of j
P. Morgan & Co., Is the recipient oi
special courtesies Of the Presidents

in the Capital.
Two agents Of the secret service
shadow" Morgan from the time he
leaves his hotel suite to 60 to the
committee room until he returns late
in the afternoon. The assignment Is
understood to have been made by Sec
retary Morgenthau.
It was explained at the Treasury
that the Government felt constrained
to see that the international financier
was mot molested" during his ap-
pearances before Chairman Nye and
his group Of munitions investigators.
Morgan is said to have been the
target frequently for extortionists and
cranks, many Of whom have threat
ened to kidnap or otherwise wreak
violence upon him. Because Of these
threats, he has maintained at his
offices and at his home in New York
an efficient corps Of private investi-
gators and guards. Strangers never
are permitted to approach him in
public.
1t was stated in official quarters
that the precautionary measures being
taken at the hearings were not due
to any special plot or threat of recent
nature.

and secret service men, an augmented
force of Capitol policemen are sta
toned in and about the hearing room
during sessions of the committee. The
uniformed policemen stand in points
of vantage about the room, some Of
them serving as ushers and others. on
occasion, as water boys for thirsty Sen
ators at the hearing table.

CHARACTER STUDY
IN SCHOOLS URGED
Senator Copeland Hopes to See
Funds Included to Con-
tinue Work.

Hope that Congress will continue
character education work in the Dis
trict public schools for another fiscal
year was expressed yesterday by Sen
ator Copeland, Democrat. Of New York,
following a conference with Superin-
tendent of Schools Ballou.
The Senator said he sought the con-
ference to find out from the super
intendent how the character educa-
ton experiment Is working out during
this, its second year.
It was Senator Copeland who took
the initiative two years ago in having
provision made in the District appro-
priation act to inaugurate the plan
here. In drafting the current appro-
priation act last year, the House did
not originally include funds for this
purpose, but they were added as Sen
ate amendments and retained in con-
ference. The school estimates for next
year, as submitted by the Budget Bu-
reau last week, include the necessary
items for the character education pro-
gram.
Meanwhile, Chairman King Of the
Senate District Committee is prepar-
ing to confer this week with other
members of the committee to deter
mine what action to take on requests
for Senate inquiry into whether al
legged communistic or other subver-
sive study material is used in the
schools.
At its. first meeting several days
ago, the committee was asked to go
into the subject by George E. Sulli-
van, representing the Federation of
Citizens Associations, and by Gen.
Amos A. Fries of the Public School
Association.
Senator King said yesterday that
in a telephone conversation with DR..
Ballou, the superintendent told him
the text books and other material used
in teaching are available to any one
interested in the question. The Sena-
tor said the superintendent also indi-
Gated he would like a further oppor-
tunity to confer with him on the sub
ject before the committee takes action.
The Senate committee chairman
favors retaining the present ban in
the appropriation act against the
teaching or advocating of communism
in the schools. AS to the proposal for
an inquiry into the present situation,
he said he has not decided definitely,
but that this next step would be to
consult the rest of the committee.
Senator Copeland said that in his
talk with DR.. Ballou on the character
education program, the question Of al
legged communistic study material was
mentioned only casually.

American interests were willing to
recognize as a gain in Cuban states

Succeeding Welles came suave career
diplomat Jefferson Caffery. who sits
serenely on what is left of the Cuban
powder keg today. His way had been
paved, of course, by the reciprocal
trade agreement of March, 1885, by
which the United States guarantees
Cuba at least livelihood. But the
real secret of the success American
diplomacy enjoys in the comparatively
tranquil Cuba today is Caffery's ability
to transact business at headquarters" I"

circumstance or stubbornness, had

VICTOR IN CUBAN
VOTE|S UNCERTAIN
Gomez, With Lead for Pres.
idency, Must Face Men
ocaPS Power.
BY the Associated Press.


HAVANA, January 11..-Cuba re-
turned to normal today after one Of
its most tranquil presidential elec-
tions, but who was chosen remained
uncertain.
Miguel Marino Gomez, 45-year-old
coalition candidate and former mayor
of Havana, continued to maintain a
small lead over Gen. Mario G. Men
ocal, former president He held this
lead in every province-which his
followers said insured his election.
Former Provisional President Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes was out of the
running.
Official returns from 1888 of the
SILT precincts gave: Gomez, 1909;
Menocal, s3,967.
Mayoralty Lead Thin.
Another important race, that for
mayor of Havana. Saw Antonio Be-
ruff Mendieta, Marianista candidate,
gain a thin margin over Pelayo
Cuervo, Menocalista. Both claimed
election.
The possibility of official protests
was seen in some quarters. In CANA
guey Province, Menocalistas claimed
the army intimidated voters in favor
of Gomez.
Observers pointed out that even If
Menocal is not elected, he still will
be a political power because his party
is certain to gain a large number
of seats in the House of Representa-
tives.
Women Calm Voting.
Newspapers all commented on the
tranquility of the election, which
brought comparatively few disorders.
They said a good influence was lent
the balloting by women, who par
ticipated in an election for the first
time and took full advantage of the
privilege.
At midnight the official figures
showed Gomez leading as follows in
the various provinces: Pinar Del Rio,
1924 to 1895; Havana, 32,372 to
22,724; Matanzas, 1886 to 14,047:
Santa Clara, 23,182 to 1882;
Camaguey. 1898 to 1894; Oriente,
1922 to 10,727.

TAX DATA DISPUTE
REPORT IN BUDGET
Commissioners Say Real Estate
Only z Per Cent Behind
Last October 80


District officials made public yes
terday figures on actual real estate
tax collections to counteract charges
by the Budget Bureau that the per-
entage of delinquencies here was un-
usually high.
Data released by the Commission
ers showed that as of October 80,
four months after the end Of the
last fiscal year, delinquencies on real
estate amounted to but Z per cent.
For the fiscal year 1884 the delin-
quencies amounted to is per cent:
for 1888, l per cent; for 1882, one
half Of per cent, and for 1881, 0.4
per cent.
In its summary on the 1887 budget,
the Budget Bureau stated: Current
collections from the tax on real es-
tate continue to lag behind the cur
rent levy. At the close Of the fiscal
year 1884, for example, about 16 per
cent Of the levy for that year was
delinquent, while at the close Of the
fiscal year 1888 about IL per cent Of
the levy for that year was delinquent.
For 1896 and 1897 delinquencies are
estimated at 10 per cent.
when other cities comparable to
the District and enjoying the same
favorable economic conditions can
collect from "a to 96 per cent Of
the current levy, the low percentage
of coI1ections in the District seem
difficult to justify"
The Commissioners were told yes
terday the Budget Bureau statement
gave the worst possible" interpreta-
tion and failed to consider the amount
of collections that are made within
either three or six months after the
end Of q FISCAL year and before the
annual January sale Of tax deeds for
non-payment Of tfEes.

HAVANA, January IL (N.AN.A).-
Damned by the idealists for its hypo-
crisy, but more generally recognized
as a necessary evil, the United States
policy of pacific, but persistent, inter-
vention in Cuba may delight its crit
les by becoming subject Of con-
greSsional inquiry. But regardless of
what Congress may or may not de-
eide, Uncle Sam will continue indef-
initely to keep his finger deep in the
American sugar bowl.
Such is the inescapable conclusion
of observers who have been canvass
ing business and political interests,
both Cuban and foreign, in this neigh
Dor republic Long years before the
first seepings of the $4,000, ,000, 900
