TOUGH BAT|STA
Will SIP TEA

The tough little man who rules
Cuba and who could have stepped
right out of a Richard Harding
Davis thriller is all set for a round
of tea today.
Col. Fulgencio Batista, the first
dictator ever to visit the Nations
Capital, slept peacefully last night
at the Cuban Embassy. He hao
denied all day yesterday that his
visit to this country had any po
litical significance.
Today, the 37-year-old army
sergeant who never heard OF
Napoleon until he had wrenched
the marshal's baton from his nap
sack, will do honor to America s
Unknown Soldier. Tomorr "
night he will attend ball and
reception in his honor at the
Cuban embassy.
Colonel Batista does not speak
English, but his rapid Spanish
indicates he misses no tricks
when Interpreters tell him what
American dignitaries say. Yester
day, he said in his native tongue
that Washington was 'magni
fico."
He was met at Union Station
by State Department officials
and military guard of honor.

SHRINE HITS 328
CHERRY TREES
CONTINUED from Page II

Continued from Page II
Ickes said, in effect, let Washing
ton take its protests to Capitol
Hill.
Reminded that Congress does
not convene until January / and
the slaughter of the trees is to
begin a month before that date,
Ickes refused further comment.
When the Tidal Basin was first
suggested as a site for the me-
mortal, National Park Service
spokesmen allayed the fears OF
tree lovers with the assertion "only
a few" trees would be affected.
They continued this reinsurance
before the Thomas jefferson Me-
mortal Commission when the
cherry tree problem was brought
up.
ROSE BEDS TO GO
One of the arguments, it is un-
derstood, which eventually caused
the commission to recommend the
Tidal Basin site rather than the
location at the foot of East Capitol
Street was that despite the erec-
ton of the memorial, the cherry
trees would remain the interna-
tional attraction they have been
since the japanese royal family
gave them to the United States
Government as a peace token.
But the cherry trees, the elms
and naples are not the only land
marks which will fall before the
steam shovels of the excaVatorS
for the memorial.
IckeS also revealed the rose gar
den and the pansy bed in West
Potomac Park will be destroyed
as the work progresses. Although
neither of these attractions had
the countrywide appeal of the
cherry trees, both had their fol-
lowers among Washington's flower
fanciers.

IRWIN'S RACES
Will Be USED
IN INSANITYPLE
Defense to Quiz N. Y.
Correction Official

NEW YORK, Nov. II G.N.SO.
To bolster the insanity plea by
which it hopes to save Robert
Irwin confessed triple murderer,
from the electric chair, the de-
fense today repeatedly was con-
sidering summoning Austin H.
MacCormick, New York's commits
sioner of correction, as a witness.
With only five jurors seated,
the trial of Irwin for stabbing
Frank Byrnes to death after he
killed Veronica Gedeon, artist
model, and her mother has been
adjourned until Monday.
GUILT ADMITTED
Defense Attorney Samuel Leibo-
witz readily admits Irwin COM
mitted the triple murders and is
striving for youthful jury to
save the mad sculptor from the
electric chair. During examina-
tion of jurors Leibowitz reveals
repeatedly that he believes Irwin,
instead of going to the chair or
Jail, should be committed to an
insane asylum for life.
The jury so far consists of Fore
man James H. Day, 20; Henry P.
Andrews, 80; Harry R. Held, jr.,
80; Sidney F. Stern, 40, and c.
Markham Langham, 27.
Since his return here from Chi
cago in June, 1887, Irwin has
beeen an inmate of the TombS
prison and a word of MacCor-
mick. Should the commissioner
of correction be called by both
the prosecution and defense, his
testimony may provide one of the
most controversial aspects Of the
case.
NO REPORT FILED
MacCormick has conferred sew.
eral times with Irwin, who al
ready has been declared sane by
a lunacy commission, but as far
as can be learned neither he nor
his department has filed any re-
port on the defendants mental
state.
Irwin has flown into a rage
more than once since his i'm
prisonment. Once he was trans
ferred from the Tombs to another
Jail. Records of these incidents
are possessed by the correction
department and, consequently,
are available to MacCormick.

GENERAL ELECTION TOMORROW-VOTE

The General Election in Nome and turnout Alaska will take place tomorrow. Several years ago it was the policy of editors of newspapers 10 tell the people how to vote. But for the past several years an enlightened public resents the old way of politics, and therefore the Mug get is only going to call your at tention to the fact that it is the duty of every American citizen to go to the polls and cast his or her vote, for the candidate or candi- dates they believe will be the proper persons to represent you in the next Territorial Legisla- ture.
