OBSERVATIONS FROM

PROOF THAT FORMER KEY
By 9: I. MILAN


PROOF THAT FORMER KEY
WESTERS still have their heart
and soul in their home town was
given during the Key West-Tam-
pa baseball series in Ybor City
when hundreds of fans cheered
Hamlin and his bombarding
crew each game of the series.
Cheta Bakers picture was
shown in Sunday mornings Tri-
'bune when he scored in the
eighth inning of Saturdays con-
test. Wonder if the Tribune's
photographer confused the Key
West players? Outstanding stars,
such as Cyril Griffin, juice Bar
cello and Rene Machin, should
have had the flash bulb of the
camera trained on them. Maybe
to the cameraman's observation,
Baker didn't do so bad!

Japanese Considering
Demands on Britain

TOXIC. June % (P.-Japanese
foreign Office and North China mill
tary leaders were reported today to
be comforting on specific demands
to make of Great Britain to end the
10-day-old Tientsin controversy.
Authorities. both British and jap
anese, maintained it was "lmpos-
sible to open negotiations without
some more concrete basis than
japanese statements hitherto de-
manding British "co-operation"
with Japanese and abandonment of
the alleged "pro-Chiang Kai-shek
policy of London.
A foreign Office spokesman said he
believed negotiations concerning the
Japanese blockade of the British
concession in Tientsin would be
conducted in that North China
port. He indicated that the Jap
anese military not only would formu-
late the demands, but conduct the
conferences
Meanwhile the japanese attitude
regarding the Tientsin deadlock re-
manned unchanged, but British-Jap-
anese relations were irritated further
by the entry without japanese per-
mission of British destroyer into
SWatow Harbor, in South China,
during its occupation by the Jap
aneSe Wednesday.
The incident apparently was closed
officially, but japanese newspapers
gave it prominence as new Brit

Agreement for Cession
Is Sjqned in Ankoru

ANKARA, Turkey, June % (P.-
France and Turkey today signed
formal agreement ceding the stra-
tegic republic of Hatay to Turkey.
The agreement is a corollary OF
the Turkish French mutual assist
ance pact signed today in Paris. 1t
was signed by Sukru Saracoglu,
Turkish foreign minister, and Rene
Massigli, French Ambassador to
Ankara.
The republic has an area of ap-
proximately 10000 square miles and
q population of 220,600.
Formerly called the Sanjak of
Alexandretta, it was the northwest
ernmost province of Syria, adjacent
to Turkey, ruled by France under
League of Nations mandate.
1t was a part of the Turkish en-
pire before the World War. The
semi mi-independent Hatay republic
was created a year ago under the
joint protection of French and
Turkish troops.
Turks make up about 40 per
cent of the Hatay population; the
rest include Syrians, Turkomans,
Kurds, Circassians. Armenians, Per-
SLAMS and a few Europeans.
They occupy one of the most
strategic corners of the Mediter-
ranean. The Gulf of AleXandretta
is a fine harbor of protected water
18 miles wide and 40 miles long.
The population shares in the
wealth of oil, and Alexandretta
is on the oil high road. 1t will
be the first seaport reached by the
Bagdad Railway when the Mosul-
Tell Kotchek link now under con-
struction is opened.
Twenty-Five of the forty depu-
ties of the republics Parliament
are Turks or of Turkish descent,
and Hatay has had a customs
union with Turkey. 1t uses Turk
ish weights and measures as well

The Political Mill

with Spain was on. And 1t was
Senator Lewis who, as a captain,
declined to accept shipment of
beef which he believed bad" which
started the whole scandal over "em-
balmed beef" scandal that raised
a terrible stencil and gave the coun-
try a view of the extent to which
war profiteers were willing to go. 1t
was the late President Theodore
Roosevelt who backed up Senator
Lewis in this fight on unfit beef for
the Army, when political pressure
was exerted to squelch the youth
full captain.
Suave and Courageous.
The experiences of the late Sena-
tor Lewis, in the West, in Chicago,
abroad and in the Congress were
wide and varied. Always courteous
and suave, always sartorial pic
ture at once striking and unusual,
he had an underlying courage which
carried him always forward and a
practical understanding of politics
that stood him in good stead His
friends were legion and to be found
in every nook and corner of the
earthB
His successor in the Senate doubt
less will be appointed from Chicago.
1t has been the rule in Illinois to
have the metropolis represented in
the Senate and doWnstate. Senator
Lewis home was Chicago, and the
Junior Senator, Scott Lucas, halls
from Havana, Ill. Already the names
Of Chairman James A. Slattery of the
Commerce Commission, Thomas j.
Courtney, States attorney for Cook
County, and Representative Benja-
min AdamoWski, minority floor lead
er in the Illinois House, have been
mentioned in connection with the
appointment. Chicago boasts nine
Democratic Representatives in the
National House, and it may be that
one of them will be promoted" by
the Governor. Representative T. v.
Smith, who was formerly a profess
sor at Chicago University and who
was elected Representative at large
last November, has been suggested.
The appointment of Courtney
would be slap in the face for the
Kelly-Nash organization. For Court
ney, a Chicagoan, deserted Kelly
and Nash to follow Gov. Horner
when the two factions split in 1886
and early this year Courtney was a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Mayor against Kelly.
Gov Horner backed Senator Lucas
last year for the senatorial nomina-
ton against Judge Michael Igoe,
then United States attorney, the
Kelly-Nash candidate. and Won
Judge Igoe has since been given a
Federal judgeship, and it scarcely
seems likely he would wish to re-
linquish this life job for a year in
the Senate-and the precarious job
of running for election for a six
year Senate term next year. For it
will be precarious job no matter
whom the Democrats put forward.
Gov. Horner himself has not been
well and it is not believed he would
care to hazard the rigors of a hard
campaign for the Senate next year.

petition to take his resolution from

AS this is written, bulletins are

and casting in a different mood the
issue behind Mr.. Ludlow's proposal.
When it was first offered, 81 Repub-
licans and II Democrats were for it.
President Roosevelt, ALI Landon,

quarters close to the Senator they
were characterized as grossly eXag-
gerated.
Despite the fact that other leaders
in the State laid claim to party con-
troll in Illinois, and despite the fact
that Senator Lewis himself made no
assertion of local leadership, there
was no man in the Democratic party
who was able to draw SO many votes
in the State as the late senior Sen
ator. In large part he left to Gov.
Horner, Mayor Kelly of Chicago and
National Committeeman P tri k
Nash the control of the local organi-
zation, in Chicago and doWnstate.
The fact of the matter was that
thousands of Republicans in Illinois
were perfectly willing to vote for
Senator Lewis-and did on occasion.
While it is reported that Gov.
Horner and the Kelly-Nash organi-
zation have buried the hatchet, and
it is likely compromise appointive
Senator will be selected, acceptable
to both the Horner and the Kelly
Nash factions, it will be exceedingly
difficult to find candidate who can
be elected to the Senate next year.
Under the Illinois law, the Governor
has the authority to appoint to fill
the unexpired term of Senator Lewis
until the election next year.

Senator Lewis was the only man
in the present Congress who had
the honor to represent two States

he had gone West to make his for

was born and where he had attended

His service in Congress. which
began in the late 80s of the last
century when he represented WASH

separate periods The second was
from 1913 to 1919, when he served
as Senator from Illinois, and the
third was from 1881 until his death,
his longest period of service. eight
years. Yet Senator Lewis had be-
come a remarkable and traditional
figure in the halls of Congress, de-
spite long absences, when he was
not member. And for the last
quarter of a century he was recog-
nized as a power in the national
Democratic party.
During one of his absences from
the national legislature, Senator
Lewis served in the Army. The War
