CONCERN FELT HERE. Texas Sheffield Handling Cases on His Own Initiative. The kidnaping by bandits of five Americans in scattered sections of Mexico in the last few days is caus- ing concern in official circles here, al- though no reports have been received indicating that the incidents are more than they appear to be on the face of press reports. Ambassador Sheffleld is handling the cases with the Mexican foreign of- fice on his own initiative, and it is said that there is no reason to be. lleve that the Mexican City authori- ties are not doing everything in their power to obtain the release of the Americans and to capture and pun- ish the kidnapers. Revolt Reports Discredited. ‘The scattered nature of the out- rages, it is pointed out, tends to dis- credit any suggestion that there is a revolutionary plot afoot in Mexico which has as its object the embar- rassment of the Mexico City govern- ment through attacks on Americans. In each case Ambassador Sheffield has promptly submitted the facts to the forelgn office and urged active steps to obtain release of the prison- ers and punishment of the bandits. Official advices have indicatel that the Mexican authorities have been prompt to take measures to that end. and have dispatched troops to pursue the raiders. Sheffield Sends Report. A report from Ambassador Sheffield in Mexico City on the latest bandit outrage. made public without com- ment at the State Department today. told of the kidnaping May 26 of twe American oil well drillers—Biggs and Greely—from the Furbero camp of the Rritish-owned El Aguila Oil Co. in the Tampico region. The embassy received its report from the Mexico City office of the oll company, which transmitted the foi- lowing telegram from its office in Tampico: “Early this morning (May 26) arm- d men raided and robbed the Furbero camp, taking away two American drillers, Biggs and Greely, for whom 500 pesos ransom demanded, with threats if not paid immediately.

Brookhart also crit- {icises Senator Cummins because he voted against the report made by Sen- ator Walsh in the Aluminum trust in- vestigation.

BEIRUT, May 28.—Serjous dis- Occur at turbances of two kinds are reported along the northern desert frontier where the boundaries of Syria, Tur- key and Mesopotamia meet among the sands. The first is a Kurdish revolt in which 7,000 Kurds are said to be at- tempting a wild dash toward Diar- bekir, with three Turkish divisions marching to meet them. ‘The second is tribal warfare near the northern Mesopotamian frontier, in which British troops have been forced to engage. About 2,000 tribes- men croased the frontier and at- tempted to wipe out 500 membors of Iraq tribe, under British pro- tection, after border squabbles of many months.

Mr. Dickman announced that at a recent | meeting of the MarylandDistrict of Columbia Federation of Labor the proposition to grant national repre- sentation to Washingtonians was car- ried without a dissenting voice.

The executive campaign committee decided to circulate at once to select- ed addresses in various parts of the United States several thousand coples of the recent national repre- sentation hearings before the House judiciary committee. The hearings constitute a telling argument in favor of national suffrage rights for Wash- ington. Members of the judiciary | *| committee consider that the testimony submitted in favor of “a square deal” for the District made out an excep- tionally strong case. Chairman Gra- ham and his assoclates are at the moment immersed in an unprece- | dented pressure of ‘ urgent congres- sional business, so that no report on national representation is likely dur- ing the present session. But, sooner or later, there is the utmost confi- dence that the House judiciary com- mittee will go strongly on record in favor of removing Washington's po- litical disabilitfes. Meantime, the executive campaign committes, whose d Summer will be directed by its vice chairman, Jesse C. Suter, president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associa- tions, will not rest on its oars.

SWEETSER ENTERS BRITISH GOLF FINAL Is America’s Sole Hope After Youngster Easily Elimi- nates Bobby Jones. By the Associated Press. MUIRFIELD, Scotland, May 28.— Jess Sweetser of New York reached the final of the British amateur golf championship today by defeating W. G. Brownlow of Ireland in their semi- final match at the twenty-first hole. Sweetser will play S. F. Simpson, a young Scotchman, tomorrow for the championship. Simpson won his semi-final match from Arthur Jamie son, } and 1. Jamieson eliminated Bobby Jones this morning, 4 up and 3 to play. Both the American and his ‘Irish opponent were playing the steadiest golf of the day. Brownlow putted and approached with deadly accuracy, bul Sweetser recovered from numerous difficult positions to get his halves. Sweetser took the first hole when Brownlow’s putt was short. The sec- ond was halved in fours. Brownlow squared the match on the third by casually putting from the edge of the green to the brim of the cup, while Sweetser's second putt ran over the hole. Sweetser missed a holeable putt for a half. Sweetser Takes Fourth. Sweetser took the short fourth in par three after his tes shot had barely escaped a bunker. Brownlow’s long down-hill putt ran past the hole. On the fifth the Irishman laid his third, a’short run-up from 10 vards off the green, dead to the pin. Sweetser's approach was almost as good and they halved in fours. Brownlow was on the sixth green with a drive and a brassie. The hole is 458 yards long. Sweetser's second, with an iron, missed a gaping trap by an inch, but hopped to a difficult lie off the corner of the green. His chip dropped on the far side of the velvet. Brownlow holed out in four to Sweetser’s five. On the short seventh Sweetser's six-footer for an attempted birdle twisted two feet off the line. Brown- low's ball stopped by the cup and the hole was halved in threes. Brownlow was bunkered on the eighth. Sweetser's ball narrowly missed the same trap, hitting the bank and just bouncing ove: Brownlow took two to get out, h first, with a spoon, falling back. His second try, with a niblick, went to the green. Sweetser Goes One Up. Sweetser was in some short rough at the side of the green with his sec- ond, chipped past the pin and sank his putt after Brownlow’s long ap- proach putt had failed to go down. This put Sweetser one up. Brownlow drove to the rough on CONSTABLE SEIZED IN'BOMB OUTRAGE | Girl Dies, Bringing Deaths to Three—Political Opposi- tion Suspected. By the Associated Pres . MUSKEGON. Mich., May 28.—Asa K. Bartlett, Blue Lake township constable and leader of the political opposition to August Krubaech, super- visor, was arrested today in connection with the bomb outrage which cost the lives of Krubaech, his 19-year-old- daughter Janet, and her finance, William Frank, 22, at the Three Lakes tavern yesterday. “We have highly important evi- dence,” was all Prosecutor R.

Bartlett is leader of the Klan in Blue Lake township and has been ac- tive in enforcing the prohibition law. Meanwhile postal inspectors have pleced together parts of the paper with which the bomb was wrapped. The package purported to have been nt by “C.

A check-up shéwed that not one prisoner was missing. ‘The occasion was the anniversary of Argentina's Independence day. It was at Tucuman that the declaration of independence was signed.

With the final test between the fundamentalist and the modernistic wings of the convention organization scheduled to come this afternoon when the assembly will choose its officers and controlling boards from two slates of nominees supported by the opposing factions, the general convention of the Northern Baptist Church this morning unanimously adopted a resolution calling for a truce of six months, during which all groups of the church are to engage in a Nation-wide evangelical move. | ment. | Leaders of the “irreconciliable fun- damentalist bloc,” however, in an-| nouncing they would vote for the| svangelical program and engage in| harmonious work so far as it was concerned, served notice that they would in no sense consider the reso- lution as a cloture ‘on their right to continue to attack what they believe to be the ‘“‘un-Christian” features of modernism.

Welcomed to Washington late yes. terday afternoon with military splen- dor and the cheers of a multitude of citizens, to say nothing of a formal greeting later at the White House. Crown Prince Gustivus Adolphus and Crown Princess Louise of Sweden today began an intensive sightseeing tour, which included visits to the National Museum and to the Capitol. The royal couple have come here to attend the unveiling tomorrow aft- ernoon of the Ericsson Memorial in Potomac Park. The prince’'s craving for things ar cheological threatened this morning serjously to impede his program of in- spection for the day and almost result- ed in his keeping Vice President Dawes waiting overtime in his office at the Capitol for an expected visit. Lingers Over Antiquities. His royal highness was anxious to pay his respects to Mr. Dawes and to see the national legislature at work, but his lingering and all-absorbing in- terest in the antiquities on display in the museum almost made him forget everything else. As it was, Col. Solbert, the Govern- ment’s military aide to the royal party, was forced to postpone until later visits which were to have been made this morning to the Smithson ;an Institution and the Freer Art Gal- ery. Accompanied by Robert Woods Bliss, the American Minister to Sweden, and other officials, the Swedish no- tables left the Swedish legation rhort- ly after 10 o'clock and went directly to the museum, trafled by a small army of newspaper men and pho. tographers.
