Therefore, in seeking the meaning of the cholce of Burton, political ob- servers here were impressed with these things: 1. That the choice of this most conservative of conservatives to sound the party keynote for the campaign—and this means the Coolidge keynote this year—shows that the president intends to stand pat on those conservative doctrines to which he has always remained true, and will not surrender any- thing to the lberals. 2. That Mr. Coolidge’s running mate in the campaign also is likely to be a conservativesind not, as some believed likely, a member of the progressive wing of the party. 3. That the emphasizing by the president of his conservatism is likely to give further impetus to the independent or third party moye- ment It is in connection with this last point that the choice of Burton caused most disappointment here among those Repub! ns who would like to see the administra- tion seek to placate as far as con- sistently possible the Ifberals within Frank Taylor, Jr. Wins Third Prize For Radio Design Because of the merit of a diagram and thesis for a radio set which was submitted in a contest carried on by “Boy's Life,” -the official Boy Scout magazine, Frank B.

CONVENTION CHAIRMAN REFLECTS CONSERVATIVE PLAN BY LAWRENCE MARTIN (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, April 26.—Selection of Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, as temporary chairman and keynote sounder of the Republican national convention has caused a near sensation in political circles here. ‘ Burton is an ultra-conservative. He was chosen by ident Coolidge personally. Everybody had expected the party. Instead of placating them, the naming of Burton will simply tend to drive them toward the independent movement, liberal leaders feared. The conservative leaders, how: ever, hailed the choice of Burton as an indication that the presidént in- tendseto stick firmly to his political principles, and to leave no doubt in the minds ‘of the country that he will neither bow nor truckle to any other group, either within or out- side his own party. FOREST REGION SWEPT BY FIRE WN WASHINGTON One Lumber Mill Lost In Flames; Further Disaster Seen. PORTLAND, Ore,, April 26.— (United Press)—Forest. fires aggra- vated by dry East winds continued to sweep through Clarke County, Washington, today with heavy dam- age, ‘according! to“ reports gathered at the federal district forester’s of- fice here.” An idle mill of the North Fork Lumber Company, a house and two barns, all near Yale in Northern Clarke County, Washington, 8 miles from Yacolt, were destroyed by for- est fires that swept from the cut- over timber lands into the clearing Saturday morning. Loss of the mill alone is estimated at nearly $100,000. Reports from Yacolt also Clarke county Saturday night indicated that a change in the wind and the efforts of a large crew of fire fight- ers had checked the course of the blaz which had covered the dis- tance from Horshoefalls on the east fork of the Lewis river to within half a-mile of Yacolt, Fires reported in other sections of Oregon and Washington were ap- parently. under. control, although fear was felt that high winds might bring disaster, Fires were burning in Tillamook, Hood River, Clatsop and Coos counties In Oregon and in Clarke county, Cowlitz and Chehalis. counties in Washington.

Second — A civilian obligation, such as to familiarize the people with the need for preparedness and what it means to them in the sav- ing of lives and money and perhaps even of our independence and insti- tutions, and to explain the National Defense Act for them; to support and help the regular army and the national guard in their essential du- ties to carry out this plan of nat- fonal defense. Delegations from ‘Thermopolis, Laramie, Cheyenne, Green River and other state points were in evi- dence last night. Among the distin- guished visitors was Dr. Arthur G. Crane, president of the University of Wyoming at Laramie, who in ad- dition holds the rank of Lieuten- ant Colonel in the army. His speech both as an officer, and an educator was fascinatingly concentrated on the important problems now before the reserve officer and the average citizen who does not have the same opportunity to ana'yze the actual evil influences working inside our student life against the very foun- dation of the pure citizenship of the nation. Dr. Crane was introduced by Gen- eral Sinclair, and his speech, his singleness of purpose, and enthus- iastic affiliation, is the outstainding feature of the most important mill- tary convention held in the state of Wyoming since the war, adios nases eBay Legion Baseball Team to Practice “The American Legion baseball team will practice at 10 o'clock this morning at the High School athletic field {f the weather permits.

SOLUTION FOR JAP SITUATION COOLIDGE AlN By A. L. BRADFORD . (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, April 26.—Presi- dent Coolidge today moved to find “a way out” of the strained situa- tion that has arisen with Japan and the American congress over the measure to exclude Japanese immi- gration from the United States. The president called to the White House Senator Reed, Pennsylvania. a member of the senate conference committee on the new immigration bill, which carries the ban against Japanese, for a conference on the question. Later in the day Mr. Coollfage had another one of the numerous con- ferences that he has. held recently with Secretary of State Hughes on the Japanese problem. NEW YORK, April 26.—The American is outnumbered and out- gunned by both ‘the Japanese and the British, William B. Shearer, formerly a special expert by the navy department and inventor. of the one-man torpedo boat, and the amphibian tank, charged today in a statement. ‘The treaty ratio of 5-5-3 does not exist, he says. It is actually 5-3-1 with America 1. Our navy is out- ranked in‘ships, guns and fuel, in armament and range, Shearer stated. His figures grew from ‘his challenge that figures on stored oil given out last week by Secretary of the Navy Wilbur were mislead- ing. With the exception of 1,500,000 barrels stored in Hawait, the navy has no oil in reserve, Shearer de- clared. The British, he said, bave 19 naval bases, Japan as many, some of them secret while the ited States has none. The Atlantic fleet is. out of commission because the boilers of four capital ships need repairing and there is no money to do the work. Appropriation to Fight Coast Plague Assured WASHINGTON, April. 26.—Presi- dent Coolidge today signed the bill appropriating $1.500,000 to fight the foot and mouth plague among cattle in California providing the depart- ment of agriculture with immediate funds to comiuct its campaign against the disease. At the same time the president sighed the bill making $1,000,000 available for drouth relief in New Mexico, — In addition to being very cunning, the fox is also a clever mimic.

POLITICAL CONVENTION SET TO JAZZ BY GRIDIRON CLUB WASHINGTON, April 26.—The national political conventions, set to jazz music, were held simultaneously in Washington tonight. All-the presidential aspirants were there—at least in effigy. Someone who looked like Hiram Johnson, at- tended with some one who might have been Calvin Coolidge... William Gibbs McAdoo and Samuel Ralston— or their doubles—and all the rest of those now In the political spotlight were on hand in similar fashion. The occasion was the annual din- Gridiron club, an or- a of Washington new paper. men-—-a club to which prest- dents and judges and ambassadors are proud to belong. When the Gridiron club meets, all bars are down, Tonight was no ex- ception. President Coolidge, mem- bers of the cabinet, senators, su- preme court justices and political managers were guests—and dignity wan left behind, They saw themselves and the fol- bles of ‘the political world pilloried mercilessly.. They saw the country's statesmen burlesqued appallingly. They felt sarcasm bite their vanities, But every ,guest took his medicing amilingly.~ It was all in fun Before the party started, Pres! Sir mo Howard n W. Davis spoke. But under the Gridiron rule “reporters never pres lic. recognition, but th of the national the big hit ent,” thelr remarks were not made ‘The satire of the evening ran from the “bobbed hair bandit’ to soviet uusical version nventions scored The club had little difficulty pick- ing the Republigan nominee, It was, of course, Calyin Coolidge. The Democratic convention, however, was more perplexing. An “inquisitor general” raised to the cabinet for the night was forced to issue subpoenaes for a number of distinguished personages. The first witnesses were the ‘Three Musket- eers"—Al Smith, Thomas Taggart of Indiana, and George’ Brennan of Chicago, Although refusing to name thelr candidate, they answered a query as to what they intended in the coming campaign with the one word: “McAdoo”, McAdoo then en- tered, declaring that he ‘would be nominated on the first ballot “even if I have to claim residence in every state in the union.” Frank Hitch- cock, Hiram Johnson's manager, an- nounced that he would be unable to Produce his candidate because Hi” had missed his: train.” The real Democ nominee then entered He was “Tho Man in the Iron Mask," and his indentity was never revealed. ‘ed when Banquo's ghost, late of “Hamlet” entered as the third party movement, with 4 prophecy of a presidential deadlock in the house and “Secretary Hughes acting presi dent’ til, God knows when The inquisition was dis:| SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 1924, FRENGH FLYER FIGHT FOR WORLD HONORS Sensational Hops Made By D’Oisy in Trip To Far East. BY JOHN DE GANDT (United. Press Staft Correspondent) PARIS, April 26.—Winging his way eas in a single-handed at. tempt to snatch for France world supremacy in distance flight, Lieut. Pelletier D'Oisy has become the French hero of the hour. ‘With American planes ana a British machine already started on world flights, Lieutenant D’oisy hopped off from Villa Coublay Thurs. day, accompanied by a lone mechan. ic. He flew a big Breguet army Plane, with no spare parts. The first day O'Oisy reached Bucharest without @ stop, and Friday “hopped” \ another thousand miles to Aleppo, Up to 6:20 P. M. today the air ministry said it had nq message of D'Oisy’s departure, but it was con. sidered possible he might have taken off without notifying Paris and al. ready be on his way to Bassorah, at the head of the Persian Guilt. ’ If the plane did start from Aleppo this morning, as scheduled, air min. istry officials estimated that it would cover the 900-mile lap be. tween the two towns in less than eight hours, making the arrival in Bassorah some time this evening. D'Olsy arrived in Aleppo at 5. p.m. Friday, the air ministry was advised today, after making a thousand-mile non-stop jump from Bucharest. So far air officals are well pleased with the flight, scheduled to extend to Japan, and attempted because of the activity of the United States and Great Britain in attempting flights around the world. From Bassorah, it was said, D'Ojsy. will follow the coastal route to Japan, cutting across India on the same route being covered by the British flight, last reported at Karaichi, India. It is considered possible that the French aviator, following his 1,000-mile hop at a ¢ time schedule, may well pass the British plane en route. Alr officials still insist, however, there is no in- tention of continuing the flight be- yond Japan. ALEPPO, April 26,—Lieutenant Pelletier D'Oisy, piloting a French ermy plane in which he hopes to complete a flight from Paris to Tokio, left here for Basra early to- day, a “hop” of some 900 miles. KARACHI, April 26.—Major Mac- Laren, piloting the British Amphi, blan world filght plane, took of from here Saturday, but was forced to descend at Bali, near Ajmere. His .cumulative mileage now is 5,29 — WASHINGTON, April 26.—War torn Honduras has passed the crisis, state department officlals believed tonight. * With envoys of three Latin-Amer fean republics already on thelr way to the port of Amapala to attend a conference of mediation between the warring factions called the United States, the department is certajn that peace {s imminent. So confident are officials that diz- ferences will be satisfactorily set- tled, they now declare American in- tervention is virtually out of the question, This country’s part in the confer- ence will be only an advisory one secretary Hughes has made clear. aii LOSES LIFE TRYING TO SAVE BOYS PARIS, April 26.—Robert Girvin Blanton, of Richmond, Va., a stu: dent at the Sorbonne, was drowned today at Bruncy Sur Verre, while trying to save four boys, who had tipped over their canoe.
