S. AND OTHERS REPORTED Appeal to League for Mandate Planned by Madrid if Present Move Is Failure. By the Associated Press, PARIS, August’ 26.—The French government ‘has received a memo- randum from Spain expressing the de- sire of that country that the interna. tional district of Tangier be attached to the Spanish zone in Morocco. The French cabinet is considering the question brought up by Spain, but it is generally conceded in political circles that France's reply will be an absolute refusal. The Spanish memorandum says that if it should be found unfeasible to make a transfer of authority in Tangier from international to Spanish administration in any other way, then Spain will ask the League of Nations to give her a mandate over the district along with the whole Spanish zone in Morocco. Almed to Curb Uprisings. Spain's request that administration of the district be confided to her alone, | instead of to an international body, is based on her feeling that it is neces- sary for the Spanish government to have such control of Tangier as to enable her to prevent the smuggling of contraband arms which were large. 1y responsible for the prolongation of the Riffian war. The document reached the French foreign office on Tuesday evening, but wis Kept secret until today, because of the desire to give the cabinet a chance to act on it before it was dis- cussed in the press. It {s understood that the memoran- dum was handed to the United States | and_ other signatories of the treaty of Algeciras, by which Tangier was internationalized, except Germany. Austria and Russia, a few days be. fore it reached Paris. The delay in transmission to the French govern- ment thus far has not heen explained. Difficuities Involved. Comment,.in official circles today indicated that it was impossible either to hand over administration of Tan- r to Spain alone by direct action | the powers interested or for the| League of Nations to accord Spain a | mandat i It was pointed out that the Sultan | of Morocco 15 an independent sov- erelgn who alone is able to delegate powers of administration over his ter- ritory. A protectorate was granted Franice by the Sultan over all of Mo- rocco. France .then came to an un- derstanding with Spain as to the zone which %hould be attributed to her. 9t was recalied today that responsi- bility foy the exercise of a protecto- vate, ag far as the Sultan is con- cerned, rests on France. The Sultan and the French gov- ernment. therefore, it is held. are the parties with whom Spain must deal regarding the zone outside Tangier. As to the city itself, the Sultan. France and the powers interested in | the agreement by which it was inter- nationalized may have their word in the matter, but the question is en- tirely outside the jurisdiction of the league. Question Stirs Europe. The question of the future of Tan- gier has become of keen interest in European circles, especially since the | Spanish premier, Gen. Primo de Rivera, gave out an interview in which he cxpressed the belief that the international city should be included in the Spanish zone in Morocco, ceacted quickly to the inter- iew, a_cabinet member declaring that any solution of the Tangier question which does not include consideration of Italy’s rights as a signer of the | treaty of Algeciras and as a Medi- | terranean power would be protested to_the League of Nations. Recent dispatches from Tangler in- dicated that there is a general dis- content among the Spanish and na- tive populations. A dispatch to the Daily Mail on August 19 said that a British destrover. the Splendid, was at Tangler and that French warships were expected to arrive from Casa- blanca.

RUSSELL YOUNG, Staff Correspondent of The Star. WHITE PINE CAMP. N. Y., August 26.—The high hopes of those who are expecting the Congress to be elected next Fall to be sufficiently wet to bring about an early modifica- tion of the Volstead law were blasted by Representative Will R. Wood of In- diana, who was a guest yvesterday at the Coolidge camp. Mr. Wood predicted there will be no change in the prohibition enforcement law for at least three years. The agi- tation by wets is going to make very little, if any, material change in the complexion of Congress. he said. He added that since the Congress to be elected in November will serve for two years those who are entertaining any ideas that the Volstead law is going to be liberalized or modified need look for no materialization of their dreams before that time. Prediction Given Weight. More than ordinary importance is attached to the predictions made by Mr. Wood, if for no other reason than | because he is chairman of the House Republican campaign committee . and the fact that he has made a very care- ful survey of political conditions gen- erally throughout the country. He was invited by President ‘Coolidge to come to White Pine Camp to advise paving the way for the election of a sufficient number of Republicans oto continue in control of the Senate and House. It was only natural that the wet and dry issue should have come up for discussion when he laid before the How- not an issue to any extent in this campaign, only figured very briefly and incidentally during Ifis talk with the President. He disposed of the subject by telling the President that the results in only a very few con- gressional districts will be affected by this issue. These districts, he stated, @ confined exclusively to the East. The real issue in this campaign, Mr. Wood said, 15 prosperity. The accom. plishments of the administration, and the record of the Republican Congress are the only {ssues the candidates of the Republican party need, he sald. “The people of the country are enjoy- ing the fruits of the most prosperous era in the history of the nation,” M Wood declared. ““So why should the: want a change”’ When Mr. Wood presented to the President the facts and figures deal- ing with the campaign and the prob- able result in November, the latt was highly pleased with the outlook as_it now appears, What called for this feeling of ela- diction that the Republicans would come through without the loss of either House of Congress. He declareq that the party would have a working majority in the next House of 25 which is 10 less than the present margin. This majority Mr. Wood pointed out is exclusive of the in. surgent group, members of which were elected as Republicans, but who vote consistently against the party He did not care to be so specific re. garding the majority in the next Sen: ate other than to say that advices he called doubtful Republican Senators | will pull through to keep the «'on’t‘r"?l' of the upper branch of Congress in the | hands of the party. i Two Face Keen Fight, | While on the subject of the Sen.: ators who & © generally considered as facing streme difficulties, Mr, ators Ernst of Kentucky, Harry Oklahoma, Willis of Ohio ::d'h\’\"i’{ liams of Missouri, will be victorious, He said he did not know the situation in Maryland well enough to make a statement about Senator Weller's chances.

SHEFFIELD UPHELD INMEKIGAN POLCY Envoy Will Return to Renew Vigorous Fight for United States Rights. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. James R. Sheffield, American Ambas- sador to Mexico, goes back to the Mexican capital in a few weeks not to stay permanently. but to continue with undiminished vigor the fight he has been making to uphold the legal rights of American citizens. With anxfous eyes, indeed with real concern, the Mexican authorities have watched to see whether Mr. Sheffield would gt the “cold shoulder” as he conferred with Secretary of State Kel- logg. or whether he would be sent back to his post encouraged to go ahead along the lines he has laid down in recent monthe. The conference has been held, and while a_ brief official statement was Is- sued, there is more back of the terse anouncement from the Secretary of State than appears on tde surface. In the first place, Mr. Kellogg had conferred at length with President “oolidge, and when Mr. Sheffleld ar- rived was prepared to discuss fully the policy that is to be pursued. Turning Point-in Policy. Mr. Sheffield’s trip, begun original ly as a vacation because he is ver) much ‘in need of rest, has developed into an important turning point_in American policy toward Mexico. The sum_and substance of the situation 1s that Mexico has made repeated promises to the American Government that the written and oral statements made to Charles B. Warren, special envoy, to the effect that the new land and ofl laws would not operate retro- actively and to the detriment of Amer icans owning property in Mexico, would be fulfilled. But despite lengthy notes and arguments, the re- sults have not been forthcoming. The big question today Is what method can be pursued to impress upon the Mexican government that the United States cannot indefinitely afford to have its protests and re- quests sidetracked. Both President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg have counseled patience, and in their in- structions to Arhbassador Sheffield have urged that the utmost care be taken to give no offense either to the sovereignty or pride of Mexico. B Yet the pride of the United States Government is also at stake, and if the diplomatic correspondence be- tween the two countries were pub- lished it would reveal a sad differ- ence of opinion between the Calles ad- ministration and the American Gov- ernment. a difference, indeed, which shows at the moment little promise of being reconciled. Views Regarded as His Own. What, then, can be done to convince Mexico that the viewpoint of the United. States Government must be treated with consideration and results, not words, delivered to the American Government? The Mexican government apparentiy had an idea that Ambassador Sheftield was a bit too strenuous in his argu- ment, that he did not reflect the view- (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.)

By the Associated Press. The Treasury has no intention of changing its present fiscal policies so as to use war debt interest receipts to bring about another tax reduc- tion. & Taking note of suggestions for such a change, Acting Secretary Winston said today it was considered necéssary that the $150.000,000 coming In annu- ally from these interest payments bhe applied to retirement of the public debt. The payments usually are made in United States bonds, which are thereby automatically retired. If these payments were to be avail- able for tax reduction it would be necessary to resell these securities, a plan which he believes impracticable. The Treasury faces a severe task, furthermore, in retiring the third Lib- erty loan bonds, which mature in 1928 and of which $2.500,000,000 are out- standing. All of the money In the sinking fund now Is being used for retirement of these bonds. RUCK STOLEN. Found Later With Ten Bundles Missing.

It was seen at Seventh street and Florida avenue an hour later, a col- ored man at the wheel, going in an easterly direction. Shortly after noon the vehicle, 10 bundles missing, was found abandoned at Eckington place and Quiney street. : Fletchet Returning to U. S. ROME.

NEW YORK, August 26.—Rudolph Valentino’s bhody was barred from public view today to avoid further disorders among the thousands who have flocked to the screen idol's bier, and also to avert clashes between rival groups of Italilan admirers. NVormal decorum and dignity now prevail at the Frank E. l'amb!)ell Funeral Church,” says an advertise- ment in toda papers. Attendants had said the occasion was being rerred into a “three-ringed cir- Plans for a public funeral Monday have been abandoned and the cere monies will be attended by invited guests only. “From now on. sald S. George Ullman, friend and business manager of the star, “Valentino's body will be viewed only by friends and associates under my personal supervision. The lack of reverence, disorder and riot- ing since the hody was first shown have forced me to this decision.” Line Extends Six Blocks. A queue resembling a foot ball snake dance was formed for six blocks along Broadway and side streets yes- terday under police supervision after the mear riots of the day before. Crosstown traffic was blocked by line four and five abreast that crawled along Broadway. and in and out of side streets, until it was reduced to a single file near the undertaker's es- tablishment. One woman who stood in line five hours made three rounds of the actor’s bier, fainted each time and was ordered by police not to return again. A weeping girl was found to have an onion in her handkerchief. Girls plied powderpufs and lipsticks as they neared the caskel. fainted and became hysterical. Twenty mounted police, 112 patrol- men, 12 sergeants and 4 lleutenants were required to handle the surging mass. The danger of open hostilities be- | tween Fascisti and anti-Fascisti be. came fmminent after the anti-Fascisti challenged the right of the Fascisti to post guards at the head and foot of the coffin.
