HOLDS COTTON MEN COMPLAN JUSTLY Morgan Butler, in Addressing Manufacturers, Discusses Present Tariff. Manuf a just complaint ent tariff in the light dications revealed by investigations, Morgan Butler, son of the Massa- Thusetts Senator and president of the National Association of Cotton Man- Ufacturers, told association members today in the first session of a three day gathering at the New Willard Hotel. Members explained informally that fine goods, especlally broadcloth, was being fmported from England to the detriment of American mills, par- tlcularly in southern Mass Information obtained by Thoron, chairman of the asociation’ § tariff and taxation committee, Mr. Butler said, had been turned over to the fine goods manufacturers “for such action s they may deem neces- sary.” President to Address Conference. Presidegt Coolidge will address the meeting tonight at a dinner at the New Willard. The speech will be broadeast by WCAP. Othe- speakers at tonight's meeting Wwill be Brig. Gen. Lord, director of the budget, and Mr. Butle H. C. Meserve, secretary of the as- sociation; Dr. Julius Klein, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domes- tle Commerce; Dr. George K. Burgess, director of the Bureau of Standards, and Lioyd S. Tenney, assistant chief of the Bureau of Agricultural Econom- fes, will speak at a business meeting this afternoon. Tomorrow morning the manufactur- ers will visit Government buildings in Washington, and Secretary of Com- marce Hoover will address the after- noon meeting. Pilgrimages will be made to Mount Vernon Wednesday morning and the Arlington National Cemetery in the afternoon. Mr. Butler States Views. “The assoclation has made no ex- haustive investigation of the cause of fluctuations in the cotton market,” Mr. Butler declared, “as preliminary inves- tigation has seemed to indlcate that such a research would not be of bene- fit at this particlar time, especially in view of the fact that there were no means of enforcing any recommenda- tions that might be made.” Recommending the issuing of a “tech- nical reference book for use in the mills by agents, superintendents and over- seers,” Mr. Butler reviewed the work of the association, saying it “has made real progress.” The president drew atten- tion to a report to be presented later by the association’s committee of trans- portation “The rate changes which it describes, it enforced, will mean a very onerous in- crease in the cost of manufacturing, particularly in New England,” Mr. But- ler said. “For those who sell goods £.0.b. mill it will mean a very real handi- cap in securing orders in competition. Wa are confronted with a very serious situation Applies to Eastern Class Rates. This referred, members explained to the Eastern class rates investiga- tion instituted by the Interstate Com- merce Commission, to erase within trunk line territory violations of the long and short haul section of the Interstate Commerce act. Under this, they added, the railroads proposed changes in district groupings, class rate percentages and base rates. Almost all the Lusiness sessions of the meeting will be devoted to a first-hand study of the various gov- ernmental activities relating to both the manufacturing and marketing end of the text industry.

By the Associated Press LONDON, April 6.—After A. Hay- day today demanded in the House of Commons that Lady Astor withdraw the remarks she made concerning him on Friday, the American-born woman member of Parliament unre- servedly withdrew her statement and the incident was closed. TLady Astor's impetuous tempera- ment led her to overstep the bounds of parliamentary decorum on Friday and brought down upon her a reproof from the speaker when she made per- wonal criticism of Hayday, who re- peatedly d interrupted her remarks upon a drink bill. She attempted to quiet the heckler by saying If she told the house all she knew about Hayday and the company he kept, it Hayday's Father and Son | In Same Police Cell On Traffic Charges two Sat- same the Father and son, arrested for separate traffic offer one | urday, one yesterday. the voliceman, are locked up in same cell at the fourth precinc: Robert Cook, the father, of L street southwest, was the arrested.

The Bank of France is authorized to issue a maximum of 41,000,000,000 francs. The last balance showed that the limit almost had been reached while In fact it was known in finan- clal circles, that the issue was al- ready exceeded by some 2,000,000,000 francs, which the Bank of Franceé was compelled to print in order to help the treasury meet its immediate requirements. Not Shown in Report. These 2,000,000,000 francs were not shown in the monthly balance be- cause the government hoped to be able to refund them from incoming revenue. The New York bank’s cable was known to certain members of the Senate who decided to raise the ques- tion as to how the government con- templated solving this problem. When M. Clementel was informed of the leak in his department, he fore- stalled the opposition by announcing that he contemplated the issue of 6,000,000,000 paper francs, “to meet the pressing requirements of French trade.” The announcement caused a stir throughout the country and was fol- lowed by M. Clementel's resignation, | but the government had to admit that the situation was extremely critical and that unless drastic measures were adopted, it could not take the responsibility as to what might hap- en.

NG STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, MACMILLAN’S ROUTE TO FAR NORTH PLANES WILL SEEK ARCTIC LAND, LE (Continued from First Page.) craft bases in Europe to Asia, what was sought centuries in the west passage The expedition, however, will not be limited to this one objact, as other sclentific work will be undertaken in pursuing lines previously lald down by MacMillan and others in their polar experiences of many years, and extensive mapping and photographing work will be carried out. Efforts wiil be made to explore the ancient Nogse ruins in Labrador and Greenland and the aviators will try to visit Cape Columbla, Peary's jumping-off place in the dash for the pole, where he left records. Obser- vations will be made weather conditions throughout the trip, and experiments will be conducted with radio. It Is planned to spend only the Summer at the work and begin the trip southward to civilization by August 15, before dangerous ice con- ditions develop. In that short time the necessary observations can be made, it is belleved, because of the advantages obtained through use of atrcraft. Has Chartered Ships. Mr. MacMillan has chartered a ship for the trip which will accommodate the planes, personnel and supplies. He will not use the Bowdoin, with which he conducted his recent ex- plorations, because it will not be of sufficient size. Outside of the Navy officers and men he will have & small crew and a few assistants. Among the latter will be FEugene F. McDonald, jr., president of the National Association of Broadcasters, of Chicago; U. J. Herrmann, also of Chicago, and Ralph Robinson, who has been an as- sistant to Mr. MacMlllan on five of his previous expeditions. Mr. MacMillan returned from the Arctic only last September, after a 15-month stay, and at that time said he would leave again this June to pursue his scientific investigations. He had the use of aircraft in mind for this trip, and some time ago ap- proached the Navy Department con- cerning the plan. Had Plans of Own. Several naval officers, of whom Lieut. Comdr. Byrd was one, at the same time had in mind the possibility of conducting an expedition of their own, apart from any Nayy ausplices, in view of the collapse of the Shen- andoah project, and the arrangement announced today is the result of dis- cussions surrounding both proposals. Discussing the projected expedition, the Navy Department, in an announce- ment today, sald an wundiscovered continent was belleved to exist in the region to be visited. “Its existence,” the statement added, “has been forecast by explorers through scores of years, their be- liefs being predicated on tidal ob- servations, ice phenomena, and even sight of land masses rising above the horizon, which were seen and reported by Peary, and whick Mac- Millan later Investigated but was unable to confirm. MacMillan pene- trated the Arctic 100 miles in the di- rection of the unexplored region, making 23 miles per day with dog teams. routes from in effect unsuccessfully for quest for a north- flight ‘Wil Stady Ruins. “An interesting and important fea- ture of the expedition will be the ex- ploration of ancient Norse ruins in Labrador and Greenland. The simi- larity between these ruins indicates that they are of identical origin, and that fhey are remains of anclent Norse settlements esablished by Eric the Red. It is sxpected that the ex- ploration of these ruins will shed new light on the first chapter of American history. “The expedition will push north- ward through Baffin Sea and across the dread Melville Bay (where the worst ice conditions of the voyage are anticipated) to Etah. If ice con- ditions permit, MacMillan will pro- ceed through Smith Sound to Ken- nedy Channel and from this vicinity will base further operations. ‘Wil Establish Base. “In this locality the air assault on the impregnable Arctic wastes will be launched. The alrplanes, under the direction of Lieut. Comdr. Byrd, will attempt to establish an advance base at the northern point of Axel Helburg Land. They will make a series of portage flights from the ship to the advance base carrying quantities of fuel, food and other supplies. This base will be estab- lished at a distance of approximately 260 miles by air line from the proba- ble location of the ship. | “Working from the advance base on Axe] Helburg, the.planes will fy out over the great unknown region o the Arctic whose secrets have been held of time. The planes will strike first in the direction of problematical Crocker Land. This illusive domain has been reported several times in the history of the Arctic and has been drawn in and erased from maps of the polar area. Peary estimated it to be 120 miles from Axel Heiburg. MacMillan explored 150 miles In this direction without locating it. But at the point from which he turned back he described what appeared to. be land masses rising above the horizon. inviolate since the beginning TIC QOCEAN ATLANT Arwaiaanr D BY MACMILLAN “With aircraft a thrust can be pro- jected into this area which in two or three hours will do more than had been accomplished by weeks and months of laborious toil on dog sleds. “Other features of the expedition vie in importance and romance with | the exploration of the great northern |unknown area. It is planned to visit | Cape Columbia (Peary’s jumping off lace) by alr and obtain coples of | the vitally important records which Peary left there. The central por- tions of Axel Heiburg Land will be ex- { plored from the air. The planes will fly over the Greenland ice cap, ob- taining vauable scientific data and photographic records in these two regions, which no man has ever be- fore penetrated. Wil Study Temperatures. “Complete air equipment will be carried for scientific observations and records. The temperatures of the up- per alr strata of the Arctic will be recorded and may furnish new infor- matlon of meteorological phenomena of the Far North It is altogether probable that the planes will find Warmer temperatures at increased altitudes because of the 24 hours of sunlight which characterize the Arctic day in Summer. Travel through even the known localities of this region has hitherto been on the surface, and It is bellsved that the lower temperatures encountered are due to the refrigeration effect of the hold-over ice from the frozen Win- ter months. “Complete photographic equipment will be fncluded in the expedition. including motion picture cameras, still picture cameras and mapping | cameras. The mapping cameras, which will be installed in the planes, will be capable of continuous running for two hours. They will make an accurate map of the territory over which they fly, such as would prob- ably never be made in the next cen- tury by other means. Baffin Land in the vicinity of the magnetic North Pole will be mapped by this method, as will also Ellesmere Land. Those regions have been the subject of la- borlous investigations by MacMiilan for years, with particular reference to magnetic phenomena. “The radio equipment of the expe- ditton will be of especial interest. In the words of E. F. McDonald of Chicago, who {s giving particular attention to these details, ‘wa will write radio history in the North this Summer.’ Mr. McDonald is president of the Radio Broadcasters' League and is assembling the finest radio equipment procurable for the expe- dition. Sets for transmitting on 20, 40, 80 and 180 meters will be carried. “With the 20-meter set Mr. McDonald expects to communicate with the out- side world, not only in code, but by voice. ‘It is altogether probable that people on the Equator will hear the folksongs sung by the Eskimos in the Arctic this Summer,’ said Mr. McDon- ald. Impenetrable Radio Ban “Between the latitudes of 55 and 75 degrees there exists what his hitherto been an impenetrable band for radio communication. These latitudes also define the auroral band, though it is not known whether any significance may be attached to this fact in con- nection with radio communication. The difficulties of daylight transmission and reception, as compared with night broadcasting, are well known to the radio fan. It may be recalled that there is no night during the Summer months in the Arctic, and this fact will be an additional handicap which wili serve as a challenge to the expedition. “The radio operator for the expedi- tion has not as yet been selected, but a call for volunteers, which will be is- sued in the near future, is expected to to turn up a host of radio enthusiasts as candidates for the post.” BROKER WINS APPEAL IN FIRM DISPUTE Augustus Crane, former stockbrok- er, today won his appeal from a deci- slon of the District Surpeme Court that he could not collect from Eu- gene E. Thompson, his former part- ner in the brokerage firm of Crane. Parris & Co., $23,795.65 without an au- dit showing the valuation of Crane's interest in the firm which Thompson had purchased. Chief Justice Martin of the District Court of Appeals held that the suit had been properly brought at law, since there was & distinct contract specifying the amount to be ascertainable by refer- ence to the books of the business and did not require a proceeding in equity for an accounting between the part- ners. ‘Attorneys Minor, Gatley & Rowland, that the interest of Crane was to be sold for $19,000 plus Crane's share of lxe capital account as shown on the books of the company, which had been kept under Thompson's direc- tions. The lower court sustalned a olaim of counsel for the defense that a valuation of the assets of the con- cern should first be made by an au- ditor and directed the jury to return a verdict against Crane.

The special Easter finance com- mittee of the Associated Charitles in its report covering receipts up to noon today has a record of 3,632 con tributing members. Since the cam paign opened on April 1 there havs been 107 specific responses from | members of civic and trade bodies and each mail is adding to the list In addition to this special form of the committee making effort to secure memberships in a “dollar-a-day club” among per sons of means, some of them former contributors to the Associated Char. ities, but have given somewhat smaller amounts In previous years The original suggestion came from Arthur C. Moses, who said that he would be very glad to increase his | contribution to $365, or $1 a day, if others also could be induced to do the same. Original Plan Pushed. Those having the matter in charge following Mr. Moses' suggest been much encouraged by the favor able responses from the comparative Iy few people who have already be approached on the This ef fort, however, large gifts has not lessened the committee’s de sire to enroll 10,000 contributing members, the -majority of whom can be expected to give comparatively small sums. To meet this situation the committee has named an associ- ate membership of $2 and an active membership of 35, as well as the larger membership dues recorded on the subscription blank There will be a meeting of the board of managers of the Associated Charities Wednesday, at which re DOTts of the progress of the campaign will be made by the finance commit tee and further plans developed for ralsing the total amount of $55,000 necessary to continue the work fo. the balance of the fiscal year ending September 30 In a statement today service headquarters of ed Charities an attempt visualize the volume a of the vear's follows The Associated rities is called upon to give ser each vear to {more than 1,200 families. The exact number last year was 1,224, consist ing of 5117 persons. This mea that slightly more than 1 in 100 of Washington's population was served by the society. The entire group consisted of enough persons to com fortably fill the new Washington Au ditorium. If they could all be gath ered together there at one time prob- ably the first impression would be the large number of children in the audience. These children would number 2,723, or more than half those assembled. If a census were to be taken of the group it would show that the great majority were native born. The small number of single men and single women, 18 of one and 44 of the other, would be a striking fact of this census. Not quits half, or 561 would be married couples; would be widows, 41 widowers: would be women deserted by thei husbands and 13 would be men de serted by their wives. A pathetic part of the picture would be the 67 unmarried mothers in the grour as well as seven couples living together as ma d wife althougi never legally married Disxabilities Are Listed. Such a census would indifhpe the Assoclated Charlities calied upon to deal with all sorts and cor ditions of human troubi If the roll were called discovered that of the familics w icapped by some serious phys sability; that 68 by actual diagnosis had members who were mentally deficlent, and there would be 146 aged persons in the group, and S7 of the families would have some member afflicted with tuberculosis Such are the situations that the so cial workers of the society are called upon to face and for which they must find a solution wherever possible This is the kind of work for whick the support of 10,000 contributing members Is asked. Contributions may be sent to Ord Preston, treasurer 1022 Eleventh street SHOOTS WIFE AND SELF. ‘Woman to Husband Dies Instantly.
