ORIENT" he said, that there is no
doubt in my mind about the neces-
sity for a new treaty which faces
realities as they are today"
Three Democrats Approve.
Senator La Toilette. Progressive,
of Wisconsin, a member of the For
eign Relations Committee, said the
move was designed to show Japan
that the course of this country is
wide open" in future dealings with
the Japanese.
Approval of Mr.. Hull's action was
voiced likewise by three Democrats
on the committee, Senators George
of Georgia. Connally of Texas and
Pepper of Florida.
Proponents of an embargo believe
it would break the japanese advance
IN China and force her to withdraw
to her own shores. Opponents have
expressed fear that it might lead
the United States into war.
No Reference to China.
MI. Hull's note, on the face of it,
was an innocuous notice with no
reference to China, to all embargo,
to rights of Americans in China. or
to the Sino-Japanese War.
The note set out that in recent
years this Government had been
examining its treaties of commerce
and navigation with other countries
to see If any changes were needed
1t then said the Government had
concluded that the 1911 treaty con-
tained provisions which need new
consideration.
Toward preparing the way for
such consideration, the note said,
land with a view to better safe
guarding and promoting American
interests as new developments may
require, the Government of the
United States gives notice
hereby of its desire that this treaty
be terminated
In this phrase officials saw an
oblique reference to the situation
growing out of the Sino-Japanese
war.
Treaty Barrier to Embargo.
The 1911 treaty was considered by
the State Department legal barrier
to an embargo because of its lang
uage in article fve-"nor shall any
prohibition be enforced by either
country on the importation or ex-
portation of any article from or to
the territories of the other which
shall not equally extend to the like
article imported from or exported to
any other country"
If the United States. with this
treaty in existence, were to impose
an embargo on the shipment of Ger
tain products to Japan, it would
have to impose an embargo on the
shipment of the same products to
all other countries.
The treaty contained clause
stating that it could not be abro-
gated until six months after notice
of termination had been given.
Mr.. Hulls move followed series
of Far Eastern developments in the
last few days affecting Americans or
American interests. On Monday he
expressed the United States concern
over the increasing number of Amer
ican-JapaneSe incidents in China.
On the same day an American naval
warrant officer, Robert A. Baker, was
assaulted by a Japanese naval SEN
try at Hankow and arrested.
Yesterday two Americans at Peip-
ing--Father Daniel Scannell of the
American Franciscan Mission of
New York and M. E. Smithberger of
Hampton, Minn.-were slapped by
Japanese soldiers.

Children were responsible for
a fire, which was burning among
the grass near the garage situat-
ed next to the Western Union
Telegraph office, this morning
and which was extinguished with
water from buckets used by fire
men from No. l Station.
Within a brief time a call was
sent in and it was found that the
garage was burning. Apparatus

of the fire department, and the
sounding of the bell was caused
by the electrician having to cut
the wires.

MURPHY ACT
DIED TODAY
SAVED FLORIDA PROPERTY
OWNERS OVER $4,000.
600 IN TAXES

TALLAHASSEE. June 9.-The
Murphy Act is dead!
Today. under terms of the orig
inal act as passed in 1887, the
Murphy Act, which saved prop
erty owners of Florida over $780,
100000 in taxes and caused an
equivalent loss to tine state end,
ed its tWo-year term OF existence,
The Legislature just passed,
however, extended the term OF
years to two before the State
may take title to property upon
which taxes have not been set
tied through the Murphy Act.
This gives owners a chance to
pay taxes through regular chan
nels.
Originally, at the expiration of
the Act, it was intended that the
State take over all property that
had not been paid up.

CITY OF MECCA
TO Be FOUNDED
UNIQUE COMMUNITY TO
HAVE HOMES OF ARABIC
- ARCHITECTURE

DUNEDIN, June 9 FNS).-A
unique community will be found
ed near here to be known as the
city of Mecca. The purpose of
the project is to afford people of
Arabic and Syrian descent and
birth a place where they can
live together in homes of Arabic
architecture and observe all the
traditional customs of their
homeland. The city was created
by a special act during the last
week of the state Legislature,
the bill providing for the city
limits to include 100 acres, with
provision for future extensions.
The new city, named for the ia
nous holy Moslem city of Mecca
in Arabia, will be located about
two miles from Dunedin on state
road 229. 1t will be laid out 'un-
der the supervision of Sheik
Kahlil Ben Ibrahima Al-Rawaf
of Nejd, and George Deeb of st.
Petersburg. A church and school
will be built in addition to the
homes, and Mecca Corporation
has already been formed to es-
tablish a factory in the city.
The plant will manufacture ladies
dresses, bathing suits, robes, uni
forms and mems cotton apparel,
and is expected to give employ
ment to a large number of the
new city'S citizens.
After people become estab-
lished, city officers viii be elect
ed and Mecca will operate under
the city manager form of govern
ment.
1t is expected that growth OF
the new city will be rapid as re-
cent figures show some 100000
people of Syrian and Arabic de-
scent in the country today.

TRIBUTE PAID To
DR.. CHAS. MAYO
ABE MANY cONTRIBU-
TIoNs IN ADVANCEMENT
OF MEDICAL TRADE

VENICE, June 9 (FNS).-As
president of the international
College of Surgeons, New York
and mid Western newspapers
have recently carried interviews
with DR.. Fred H. Albee of Venice
in which he expressed the great
loss to the profession through
the death of DR.. Charles Mayo OF
the Mayo's clinic at Rochester,
Mimi.
DR.. Albee is quoted to the eff
feet that too much cannot be said
for the many important contri-
buttons made by the Mayo
brothers to the advancement of
medical knowledge and practice,
To the Mayos, he said, goes the
credit for pioneering the estab-
lishment of general clinics and
hospitals in which all branches
of medical science and know
ledge is made available in one
unit.
To the work of the Mayo
brothers. DR.. Albee gives credit
for the idea behind the founding
here of the Florida Medical Cen
ter and its organization as a gen.
eral hospital equipped to pro-
vide medical care and attention
in all its various departments,
and under his direction Florida
Medical Center is conducted
along the general pattern of the
Mayo's clinic.
Florida was selected by DIR. AL.
bee for the establishment of his
general hospital and clinic be-
cause of the added advantages OF
climate and sunshine as its aids
to medical science in healing.
! Through the International Col
lege of Surgeons, many of the
discoveries and developments
made by the Mayo brothers have
been given to the profession, and
thus made available throughout
| the world.
i The next general congress OF
| the college will be held here in
February of next year, wher
some 800 surgeons from all part:
of the world will hold clinics al

passed by the House of Repre-

the new charter raised by those
who are reported to be opposed
TO certain provisions. Fred Dion
is chairman of the special COM
mittee, his committee being Frank
Johnson, Col. L. c. Brinton and
Charles Ketchum.
Further action voted was the
start of a publicity campaign de-
signed to correct alleged misin-
formation being circulated about
: the row charter. A committee
consisting of Wallace B. Kirke,
Rev. John c. Gekeler and Albert
Peirce, Jr., was appointed. Meth
DDS planned include publicity
releases of a Questions and An
swers nature, answering all
known objections. Col. Brinton

changes in the new charter to
compare with similar provisions
of the old charter, pointing out
reasons for the changes as de.
termined in the Charter Study
meetings held last Fall and Win
ter.

England Worries Over
Lack OF Roof Thatchers
fRr AssoeInfea Prom

LONDON, June Property
owners in England who main
tain quaint cottages and houses
with "thatched" roofs are wor-
ried over the dearth of expert
thatchers.
A survey reveals that there are
only 400 straw thatchers in the
country, and another $50 reed
thatchers in Norfolk.
Most of these workers are old
men. It is feared that unless
young people learn the industry
the picturesque matched roof
will gradually disappear.

Juveniles Get Hiawatha
Instead OF Hoosegow
nny AesecInted Preasl

CAMPBELL, Calf, June o.
Justice John Blaine has his own
idea of handling juvenile law
breakers. Instead of Jail SEN
fences he gives them reading as
signments and orders them to
report back for examination on
what they have learned.
A favorite work in this regard
is Longfe1low's ''Hiawatha.' JUS
tice Blaine says it accents the
rituals with which Indian tribes
marked a boys coming of age
and the self discipline necessary
for manhood.
