The measure carries $83,459,390 for activ- ities of the four departments. The only serious effort to change the bill was made by Representative la Guardia, Republican, New York, who failed to increase the salaries of district attorneys by adding $100,000 to the bill. Appropriations approved unchanged yesterday included those for Federal penitentiaries at Atlanta, Leaven. worth and McNeil Island, and for the ¥ederal industrial institution for women at Alderson, W.

Believe Proposals Generous. No hint has been given in London as to the guarantees that England will ask of China. The ne dis- patches reflected a general assump- tion, however, that In drafting its proposals that country had looked bevond existing difficulties to some- thing that will provide security and a satisfactory basis for trading of a permanent nature. g A report from Shanghai via Lon- don mentioned a movement under way by Cantonese leaders to effect a self-denying agreement with the northern forces under Chang Tso-lin to evacuate all Chinese troops from the Shanghai district to avert the possible landing of foreign troops to protect their nationals. Latest advices received in Wash- ington placed the Cantonese forces about 200 miles south of Shanghali, with the northern army's advance guard at Nanking, west of Shanghai. BRITISH OFFER PRAISED. Colonial Secretary Does Not See How Canton Could Refuse It. LONDON, January 28 (#)..—Another indication that the British govern- ment is doing everything possible to avoid armed conflict with the Chinese is seen in the words of the secretary of the colonial department, L. C. Amery. Following up the announce- ment that the government had formulated “generous” terms in the hope of arriving at a settlement, he declared in a #peech at Kilmarnock last night that non-acceptance of the terms was inconceivable, so generous, considerate and far-reaching were the modifications the British were read to offer. Only the influence of - bol- shevik agents over the real will of China, he believed, could account for their rejection. Tt was not the government's inti- mation, Mr. Amery emphasized, to declare war, to seek conquest or have a part in the internal struggles of China; neither did it desire to influ- ence the negotiations through the forces sent to China. May Yield Concessions. One report has aroused the deepest interest. This is that the proposals en- visage surrender of British conces- sions throughout China, including ex- traterritoriality, and call for new pacts to take the place of those now in force. In this connection the news- papers speculate on what guarantees will be asked of China, and how the government will surmount the diffi- culty of baving to negotiate with ex- ecutives of whose stability in office there is no certainty.

APPROE KELLOGG POLICY. o TOKIO, January 28 (#).—Premier Wakatsuki, Foreign Minister Shide- hara and other officials today ex- pressed high approval of Secretary Kellogg's statement regarding China, They regard it as an approval of Japan's policy dealing with the per- turbed situation. It Is felt in official circles that the statement will have considerable ef- fect upon the Chinese, causing the central Peking government to realize that before any treaties are signed it will be necessary to accord protection to forelgn lives and property. The foreign office stated that Japan holds the same views as America, wishing to assist China attain right- ful aspirations and not intending to dispateh further troops. The foreign office expressed a belief that no pres- ent serious danger threatens foreign- ers in China. $50,000 SIGNED AWAY. Ex-Congressman, With Others, Ac- cused of Defrauding Indian Girl.

By the Associated Pre WILLIAMS BAY, Wis., January 28. —The moon and Saturn, shunning the inquisitive movie camera, sulked be- hind the scenes today and evaded an attempt to make movie stars of them. For hours a battery of cameras peered upward before the® dawn had spread too much light, but low-hang- ing clouds completely hid the occulta- tion of the planet by the moon, and not a crank turned. ‘The barometer began falling last night and by 7 a.m. when the moon was due to begin passing between the earth and Saturn, even the powerful telescopes in Yerkes' Observatory were unable to catch a glimpse of the oc- cultation. Conditions were unim- proved an hour and a quarter later when scientists had hoped to film Saturn again showing on the other side of the lunar mass, Although the ringed planet was its usual billion miles away and the moon was no nearer than its customary 240,000 or so miles, the conditions of the occulptation afforded an oppor- tunity favorable to photography which comes once In years. The last such chance cama 11 years ago, and similar conditions will not again obtain for many more to come. Armed with cameras equipped with devices for long-range work, a staff of 16 gathered at the observatory in the attempt to get u permanent record of the occurrence. Prof. E. B. Frost, director of the observatory for the University of Chicago, said that he and his asso- ciates were much disappointed that the weather had defeated their efforts. The occultation, which meant that Saturn was cut off from the earth by the moon's mass, was visible, weather permitting, in a southeast to north- east belt across the United States, but just out of good range for the observa- tory at Mount Wilson in California. ‘There will be another in July, Prof. Frost said, but the obscuration will take place in the afternoon and not be suitable for photography.

Holds Liberty Violated. Declaring at the beginning of his address that the fundamental difficul- ties fn the Mexican situation are not religlous, Mr. Scott nsserted that they Hinvolve the violation of the philosophy of liberty. e denled that the Knights of Coluribus sought the Government's intercession on behalf of the Catholics in Mexico, and declared that the pur pose of his lecture was to “put an end to the Soviet propaganda which Mex- fco is spreading in this country for the purpose of throwing the American people at each other's throats." The Mexican government owes its existence 10 the United States, Mr. Scott declared, because this country was instrumental in its establishment by its assistance to Carranza and Obregon, whose authority it recog- nized. At present the Mexican gov- ernment, under Calles, is violating the provigions under which recognition was extended by the United States, he*declared, by that country’s refusal to keep'ita promises in eliminating the distinction between foreigners and native and its refusal to permit free dom in religlous worship. Intervention Opposed. The Knights of Columbus do not want intervention, Mr. Scott asserted, and readers of the resolutions that were adopted by the order at its na- tional convention, which were offered by himself, who had interpreted them as advocating that course “can’t read English."” ““No sane, patriotic American will countenance intervention,” he said. “I would not waste a drop of blood from an American lad to interfere in the internal affairs of any country but that does not mean that we shal not bring to bear upon President Calles the powerful force of outraged publie opinion.” Mr, Scott reviewed the evolution of the American Constitution, declaring that it was created In an atmosphere of “prayerful study,” and then as- serte “We Americans cannot recognize that thers {8 a constitution such as ours in Mexico. You members of the Mexican legation, if you are here, will never see that sort of thing hap- pen in your country. And now nobody is willing to claim that the so-called Mexican constitution of 1917 is a free expression of the people. Why, the Mexicans don’t know how to vote.” Sees Soviet Adherence. Declaring that the United States Constitution provides religious liberty to the American people, Mr. Scott sald that Mexico's law stifles that liberty. He charged that country's government with adherence to the principles of communistic Russia, which claim that “religion is the opi- ate of the people; take away religion and the people wake up.” Mr. 8oott read news dispatches from & number of the leading American newspapers, which were written, he said, by non-Catholic correspondents who had studied conditions in Mexico. One of these contended that the Mex! can situation was not “‘Catholic versus the Protestant, but Christian against a government that accepts and preaches Soviet doctrines.” In substantiation of the contention that it i Christianity itself that Mex- ico seeks to down, Mr. Scott read cer- tain articles of the Mexlcan constitu- tion in which all sects were forbidden the right to own property in Mexico and the right to ownership anywhere but inside the government-owned ALE .

Considerable merriment was caused when, following his assertion that Catholics and Protestants can live to gether in harmony, Mr. Scott sald My father was a good old Scotch erian and my mother was an Irish Catholic. There hasn’t been a divorea in our family yet. and there are 11 of us. Don't tell me Catholics Protestants get along to- can't In closing. Mr. Scoit recalled bat tles of the World War in which men from all sections of the country and of all religions died together for a common cause. Dramatically, he asked: “Oh, men and women of Washington have those lads died in vain together? God help % a Nation to keep our hands out of foreign entanglements, 80 that we inay avoid death in war again, and may He bless us forever with religious liberty that our fathers deemed best for us.

Stocks of Northern Pacific soared to $1.000 a share and a anic swept the New York Stock E: ange. Trading in stocKs was in a frenzy and many exchange houses faced failure, but were saved when the warring banking factions agreed to make no calls for orthern Pa- cific s on that now memorable day- A $20,000,000 money pool formed by the banks helped tide over the crippled firms and shorts, unable to cover their commit- ments. The financial chieftains who led that battle for the ownership of orthern Pacifi¢ are now dead. They were James J. Hill, Edward H. Harri- man. Jacob Schiff and J. Plerpont Morgan. Believing that the control of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy by the Northern Pacific would prove hurtful to the Unifon Pacific, Harri- man made a fruitless appeal to par- ticipate in the purchase. Nothing came of the appeal and soon Mr. Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. announced that he and his friends had obtained con trol of the Northern Pacific. J.
