Fiesta Will Feature Convention of Lions MIAMI, Fla., June 9.—More than 100 boats, illuminated airplanes and thousands of decorated automobiles, with the bayfront park of palms, shrubs and acres of flowers as the sotfing, will form a part of the fiesta marking the international convention of the Lions clubs here, June 14-18. Batteries of searchlights from near- by skyscrapers will play vari-colored beams over the crowds as they dance in the 220-foot wide boulevard along the park, and numerous musical and vaudeville features are to add to the entertainment. The climax wIII be th» international parade. Arrangements are being made for 15,000 guests during the convention SEATTLE, June 9.—With only the skull and a few whitened bones, also a knit yarn cap, as clues, Depart- ment of Justice agents have begun unravelling the mystery shrouding the death of Phillip Munro, of Se- attle, fox farmer on the lonely Kan- aga Island, Alaska, last August. Circumstances indicate Munro was murdered for his small savings The body was buried in a small grave. Hig only head covering a knit yarn cap, was found in the cabin a short distance from the grave His watch and money are missing The police of Fresno, Cal., reported that Munro's sole companion, Louis Betteridge, had a police record be- fore going north. Betteridge arrived in Seattle last September saying that Munro had left the island August 21 in a small boat and never re turned. - eee Poincare Is Working for New U. S. Debt Settlement PARIS, June 9 —Premier Poincare told the Chamber of Deputies today that he hoped to get a better debt settlement from the United States. He intends to try particularly on new methods as he realizes the French Parliament will not ratify accords with American and Great Britain in the present form. Premier Poincare said he hoped to secure better terms as the rise of the franc has permitted the Treas- ury and Bank of France not only to reestablish the Morgan Fund but also to procure a stock of dollars and pounds. 18TH AMENDMENT IS DISCUSSED BY M’ADOO MACON, Ga., June 9.—Addressing the graduating class of Mercer Uni versity, William G. McAdoo said the Eighteenth Amendment gives to the National Government as well as the States a mandate to enforce the “Prohibition law by appropriate.legis- Jation. In other words, with respect to Prohibition Enforcement, the Con- stitution establishes no division or distribution of powers between the Federal Government and State Gov- ernments but gives to both, a-coex- tensive grant of power.” “How can the doctrine of States’ rights be applicable in such a situa- tion where the Constitution draws no line between State and Federal Power and where consequently ther: can be no question of the Federal Government invading the sphere of action which the serves exclusively States? “The Federal Government, in en- forcing the Prohibition Amendment by Federal action, is not assuming powers which under the constitu- tion belongs to the States. It is exercising power which the States have imposed upon it through the Constitution itself. The Constitution expressly avoids attempting to es- tablish divided authority and divided Jjurisdiction. It contemplates a com- plete cooperation by the Federal Gov- ernment and stands over the whole of this fiel dof regulation.’ McAdoo said that if any state felt the Federal activity would be objec- tionable “all the states have to do is to effectively enforce the Amend- ments themselyes,” Constitution for action re- by Farmer’s Slaying. 2 skip pocket new No. 2 shaft. which will soon be sunk to the 500 foot level.

Trevor Davis also observed the yellow dust on Sunday morning. It was plainly -visible, he said, when he moved a pike pole on his boat, the Cordelia D, and a rim of it re- mained where it had sifted against the pole. He also noticed the dust on the Admiral Line dock, where the rain had apparently washed it into the cracks between the planks, and again the dust was discernable on leaves on Main Street. A number of young men living at the Bergmann Hotel said they had observed a yellow-looking cloud over Douglas Island last Saturday after-| noon. They had thought nothing about it other than that the sun reflecting on the snow probably gave the cloud the peculiar hue. Yellow streaks have also been seen along Gatsineau Channel and | the dust has also been seen along the Glacier Highway. Condition of King Ferdinand Very Low « LONDON, June 9.
