C. LEGISLATION President Informed of Important Measures Likely to Fail at Present Session. Hopes of passing the more impor- tant legislation affecting the District of Columbia now pending in the House were by no means brightened as the result of a legislative conference held at the White House today. The President summoned Speaker Gillett, House Leader Longworth and Representative Snell, chairman of the rules committee, to the White House to inform him as to the true situation of the 'legislative program at this time in that body. During the review furnished the President by these leaders it was represented that they did not feel in- clined to put the civil service retire- ment bill upon the list of those bills to receive preference, or right of way, during the remainder of the session. These leaders intimated after see- ing the President that there are other matters of far more general impor- tance which should be brought to the attention of Congress and that they saw no reason why this retirement legislation should not be left to stand on its own merits and take its chances of getting through the elev- enth-hour jam. They see no reason why they should provide a special rule for this measure. It was stated by the leaders that the proposed rent control bill and the reclassification bill were not even mentioned during this conference. The intimation was given, however, that the retirement bill probably wiil have a good chance to pass the House if it meets with success in the Senate. PLAN CONVENTION HERE.

BALTIMORE, February 23.—Esti- mated earnings of the Western Ma land Railroad Co. for the week ended February 14, amounted to $332.- 383.19, as compared with $411,525.99 during the corresponding period of 1924, a decrease of $29,145.80, or 7 per cent. Earnings for the current fiscal year to February 14, totaling $2.452.681.16 were only $50.587.02, or 2 per cent less, however, as compared with the like period of last year. BACHELOR LEAGUE GAINS. Correspondence of The Star and New York World. ROME, February 11.—A bachelor association has just been started at Rutino, near Salerno, which already numbers several hundred young men and provides considerable scope for comment among Italians. “The Bach- elors’ League” is not dissimilar from “The League of the Possessed” (La Lega delgi Spiritati), founded in Venice during the eighteenth cen- tury. The new league was Inaugurated with a banquet when the statute was read and an official hymn sung. The numerous neophytes were haran- gued from a balcony by the' president, who laid great stress upon their vow not to marry, and gave the welcome news that money had been received enabling them to found a review called the Bachelor. The number of letters received from aspirants to enter the associa- tion from all over Ttaly has become such a tax that it has been necessary to set up an office. But everybody here is asking, Why was it necessary fto employ woman secretaries? PORTUGUESE HAVE RICH AFRICAN LAND |Reported Earthquake at Port Alexander Calls Attention to Vast Territory. A recent dispatch from Africa stat- ing that “the island of Port Alex- ander” had been swallowed by the sea in an earthquake, serves to bring into news prominence Angola, Por- tugal's huge dominion in western Africa, says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the Na- tional Geographic Society. “There is no island of Port Alex- ander off Angola,” says the bulletin. “Port Alexander, or more properly Porto Alexandre, is an excellent haven on the southern and most re- mote coast of Angola, protected by a long sandy peninsula. This is. a true peninsula, well above the water even at highest tide. and could not properly be referred to as an island The name has also been given to a fishing town that has sprung up in recent years on the mainland shore inside the protecting spit. Has 1,000-Mile Coast. “If an earthquake occurred in the immedjate vicinity of Port Alexander it may either have destroyed the mainland town or a small supple- mental settiement on the peninsula A third possibility is that an island at some distance was destroyed and that the news of the disaster, coming through Port. Alexander. caused the scene of the tragedy to be confused with the latter town “Angola covers a large southwestern Africa. It stretches along the Atlantic Ocean for 1,000 miles and extends 800 miles or more inland. A comparable slice of terri- tory in southeastern United States would have a coast line extending from southern Georgia to New York City, and, excepting Florida, would include an area greater than all the States south of New York and the Great Lakes, and east of the Mis- sissippi River. Has Developed Little. “This vast region. although it was discovered by Portuguese sailors in 1442, and although it has had Por- tuguese settlements since 1575. has not been developed to any great ex- tent. It was really a victim of the discovery of Brazil, and the route to India. for into those more promis- ing regions was poured all the colon- izing energy of Portugal at a time when that country was the world's leader in colonization. The stream of energy and men passed Angola by, and it has been a sort of Portuguese backwater ever since. “But there are also potent graphic and economic reasons Angola’s lack of development the excaption of former German Southwest Africa. which adjoins it to the south, Angola has the dreariest and most forbidden coast of any sec- tion of Africa. Superficially it may be compared with the desert coast of northern Chile and Peru; and the comparison is heightened by the ex- istence of a cool current that sweeps up the coast from the Antarctic as the Humboldt current flows mnorth- ward along the west coast of South Amerlca Worst Foot Forward. Sand dunes cover much of the land immediately along the coast, with here and there bare rocky promon- tories jutting out of the shifting grains. Where the sands are not in dunes a scrub grows, but it is so sparse that from the sea the coast appears utterly barren Where water courses enter the sea there is often a luxuriant vegetation in their valleys. Tt Is In such long. narrow oases that are grown the vegetables and fruits for the few coastal settle- ments “Behind this worst Angola thrusts forward is a region of surprizingly good potentialities The coastal desert strip extends in- land from 12 to 120 miles and then the country rists by a series of huge terraces to a broad plateau which exteneds eastward into the heart of Africa. On each higher terrace con- ditions are better than on that below. The transition is from aridity and lack of vegetation through semi- aridity to a reasonably well watered park land of grass and scattered trees. Much of this plateau is an excellent region for Europeans. healthy, cool. reasonably productive, and much of it free from the tsetse fly which makes cattle-raising im- possible where that insect flourishes. part of geo- for With foot which Weat Coast the southern portion of plateau is a sort of Transvaal. Displeased with allen control from which ordinary treks did_not seem to free them, a group of Boers took the wearisome journey across the great Kalahari -Desertand settled in this remote reglon. Many perished on the road. but those who won through have established solid communities in which the Portuguese officials have granted them the lib- erty and self government in their communities which they so much de- sire. In their settlements, surround- ed by houses of typical Transvaal architecture, and with the \great heavy wagons in use. one might imagine himself a thousand miles away in the vicinity of Johannesburg or Pretoria. “At several points railways extend from the coast of Angola to the al- most temperate zone plateau. The most important railway starts from the middle of the long coast and ex- tends some 300 miles into the interior. Tt will eventually extend eastward across Angola and into the Belgian Congo to connect with existing Bel- slan and South African systems and with lines to the east coast of Africa. The Angolan port terminus of this raflroad is Loblto, with one of the best harbors in Africa. Lobito is an upstart among the ancinent coastal cities, Benguela and Loanda ard the middle-aged town of Mossimedes, having been born on a bare sand- spit only a few years ago. Transvaal. “In gola’s An- little Cold Current Brings Blessings. “Loanda. capital of Angola, also has lines of steel extending into the interior. and from Mossamedes a ‘toy railwa with narrow gauge track and tiny cars, runs across the desert strip and into the hills. “All of the Angola coast debted to the cold current that bathes it for cool sea breezes, and in general a much more pleasant climate than its latitude entitles it to. But the current is especially beneficent to the Mossamedes and Porto Alexandre districts of the south. These are the healthiest por- tions -of the coast, with relatively low mean temperatures, dry, cool air, and freedom from malarial mos- quitoes. The cool current also brings to the southern coast vast schools of fish like the cod, and the chief industry is fishing. The climate is excellent for drying fish, and a few miles inland are inexhaustible sup- plies of salt. The region ships thou- sands of pounds of dried fish and much ‘cod liver' oil.” e New Diphtheria Cases Found.

Br the Asseciated Press. CHICAGO, February 23. Exhuma- tion of the bhody of Dr. Oscar Olson, brother of Harry Olson, chief justice of the Municipal Court, who has pros- ecuted the investigation of the death of Willlam McClintock, millionaire orphan, will be ordered in connection with the case, the Chicago Tribune said today Jiudge Olson said that his brother had been a friend of the McClintocks before the birth of Williams, and was a friend of the youth until his death, three vears ago, when William was 18. Dr. Olson suffered an attack of ptomaine poisoning, was visited by the Shepherds, was alone for a time with Mr. Shepherd, ate a pear prof- fered by him, and died a few ™ours later, said the judge. A physician signed a certificate of death from heart disease.

A liquor-running automobile ended its attempted escape from Policeman Howard E. Ogle of the fourth pre- cinct yesterday against the porch of the home of Arthur Moore at 205 G street southwest. Ogle started chasing the machine at South Capitol and H streets, and the operator got into a traffic jumble at Second and G streets, which re- sulted in his loss of control of the | machine and its crash against the porch, causing slight damage to auto- mobile bumper and porch. The oper- ator of the machine escaped and five gallons of alleged liquor were aban- doned in the tonneau of the automo- bile. TEMPLE PLAN DISCUSSED.

By the Associated Press LONDON, February 23.—Altheugh it is known through the medical bul- letins issued from Buckingham Pal- ace that King George's condition is not serious as a result of his attack of bronchitis, the fact that his phy- siclans have ordered him to the Mediterranean for the remainder of the Winter has caused quite a stir, of which the newspapers take full advantage for front page displays. His majesty's health is ordinarily so good and his foreign visits so in- frequent that his going abroad is treated as an important event. Unlike his father, King Edward VII, who in the later vears of his life usually spent part of the Winter In Southern Europe, and his grand- mother, Queen Victoria, who also often went thers, King George has not been south, with the exception of his brief formal trip to Italy In 1923, since his accession to the throne in 1910, his only other foreign having been to France during war, when he so often Jjoined British army there. To Make Trip on Y It is understood he will make the trip south aboard the royal steam yacht Victoria and Albert, a ship of about 4,700 tons, which, like the American presidential yacht May- flower, maintained by government appropriation for the use of the head of the state. The yacht is already being placed in readiness at Ports- mouth for the vovage, the date of which is yet to be decided, but which it expected to be very soon Queen Mary probably will not ac- company the King on the vacht, as she fs a bad sailor and dislikes being at sea, except in fine weather. It is expected she will cross the channel to Calais and journey southward by train to join her husband. The King's uncle, the Duke of Connaught, who always spends the Winter on the ‘Ri- viera, is staying at his villa near Beaulieu. It is probable the Queen will make her home there while the King is recuperating. Will Have Real Holiday It is expected the King will be kept as free as possible from affairs of state while on his veovage, and in this respect it will be his first real hollday since acceding to the thron as during his annual visits to Cowes| for the yachting and to Scotland and | Sandringham for the shooting he is always in close touch with his min- isters and spends a good part of each day in transacting business. The present position is that Prince of Wales will carry out his tour of South Africa and South Ame lca, as scheduled, but it is alread being remarked that it is quite u usual for the King and the heir to the | throne both to be absent from the kingdom at the same time. There seems to be, however, no constitu tional rangement. In this case it is presumabls the roval duties will devolve upon the King's third son, Prince Henry, as the Duke of York is hunting in Af- rica The King’s physicidhs remained with him only a few minutes this morning and it was decided not tn is- sue the regular morning bulletin ouf- lining his condition. Tt is under- stood, however, that his temperature is almost normal. the the ht. that Peanuts Form Big Industry. Little peanuts are the basis of a big industry in Petersburg, Va. where there are several great fac- tories exclusively devoted to-making peanut butter, oil. and other products from the tiny ground-nuts which are too small and imperfect to find a market in_the usual nut vending channels. The factories were started some years ago when an enterprising business man discovered that the residents of the peanut-growing sec- tions would eat only the smaller ker- nels.

TOTWO JUDGES McMahor, and Miss Sellers’ Names to Be Reported Favorably to Senate. The nemination of Judge John T. McMahon to succeed himself as judge of the Police Court of the District of Columbia was ordered favorably re- ported to the Senate today by the Senate judiciary committee. The judiciary committee also or- dered a favorable report on the nomi- nation of Judge Kathryn Sellers, to succeed herself as judge of the D | trict Juvenile Court The nominations now go to the ex- ecutive calendar of the Senate, and it is expected they will be confirmed. Both of these nominations were at- tacked at hearings before a subcom- mittee of the judiclary committee, headed by Senator Means of Colorado. But ‘the subcommittee reported them favorably to the full committee. The nomination of Judge McMahon was criticized by representatives of several reform organizations, who in- isted that Judge McMahon's attitude on the bench did not make for effi- cient enforcement of the prohibition act. Officers of the vice squad of the metropolitan poliee also appeared be- force the committes and testified that he did not co-operate with the po- lice. Supporters of Judge McMahon vigorously denied these charges, and declared that he made a fair -and courageous judge. The criticism of Judge Sellers was to the effect that she was arbitrary and listened only to social workers These charges were denied by many witnesses who appeared for Judge Sellers and by Judge Sellers herself.
