Bill for D. T.. Introduced

The House District Committee
had before 1t for consideration to-
day bill introduced by one Of its
members. Representative Schultz.
Democrat, OF Indiana, providing
high license fees for stores In q
chain organization.
Representative Schultz said the
sole object of the proposed legisla-
ton lis to kill the chain store sys-
tenn and return control Of the stores

The bill is similar to one Mr..

provides a higher scale of license
fees and a greater penalty for vio-
lations.
A single store, under Representa-
tive Schulte's new bill, would pay
4 $50 license fee annually. Two
stores under the same ownership
would pay a fee Of SIS each. Three

 M HALTED
 TWO SHIPS

SEATTLE, March 29.-Pickets of the Washington District Council of the Maritime Federation of the Pa cific began demonstrations this morning aimed at halting all sup plies and crews for the Alaska Canned Salmon Industry for this season until operators agree to start negotiations with the various unions involved.
 The picketing has delayed for several hours the sailing of the steamer Baranof for Alaska ports. The steamer was scheduled to sail at noon, then posted to sail at ? o'clock but is now scheduled to leave at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
 The pickets appeared at the AL aska Steamship Company dock this morning and the longshoremen im- mediately stopped loading the Barr anof. More than half of the Bar anof's crew also left the ship.
 Alaska Steamship Company of ficials protested that no cannery supplies nor crews for canneries were aboard. The pickets were sub- sequently called off, the men re- turned to the ship and the long, shoremen resumed loading opera tions.
 Loading of the Tongass was also stopped until assurances were given that no cannery supplies are being loaded. The Tongass is. scheduled to sail for Southest Alaska ports this evening.
 A. E. Harding. Secretary of the Washington District Council, said 175 pickets were sent to the docks this morning at which the Baranof and Tongass were loading but after conferences at which 1t was shown there was no "hot cargo aboard, the pickets were withdrawn from the docks.
 Picketers are still on duty at all docks where cannery tenders are tied up, especially in Lake Union.

Deposed Head Of Cuba Dies
 In Operation
Gerardo M a eh a do, Who Shot Those Who 0ppos-
 ed Him, Passes Away

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March 29. -Gerardo Machado, 67, deposed i'll 1883 as Dictator President of Cuba, died today while under an anaes- thetic for an operation for removal of a tumor.
 Swift transition from the Presl- dency of Cuba to flight and exile, first in Canada, then in the United states, next in the Dominican Re- public and finally in Europe, with indictments for murder hanging over his head, was the lot Of Ger ardo Machado.
 He was the victim in August 1853, of revolt in the army which had been the chief prop of his stormy administration. He fled by plane on August 12. A series of coup detats followed with four men occupying the presidency within five months. All dug inexorably into the acts of the Machado administration.
 Charges Made
 They accused him of lulling the Cuban people into somnolence by an extravagant program of public works while he and his intimates enriched themselves. They held him person. ally responsible for terroristic acts climaxed by series of summary executions, indicted him on charges of murder and sought to extradite him.
 In the face of these developments Machado fled from Nassau, his first haven, to Montreal, then to Pough- keepsie, N. Y, to New York, to Phil adelphia and finally, in July, 1884, to Santo Domingo He remained in closely guarded seclusion there un- til November 21, 1884. when he em- parked at Puerto Plata for Ham burg. Arriving in Germany Decem- Der II, he announced that he was "a sick man" and intended to take cure" at a German spa.
 But there was no rest for him in Germany. Berlin authorities said he could stay as long as he wished, but rumors arose that Cuba would ask for his extradition and on De- cember 14 he left Hamburg a few
