McCabe stated that a few hours after the shooting he communicated with “Mr. O'Nelll, a lawyer friend of mine” and it was on his advice that he with- held communication from the police about the affair. The attorney had informed him that he might be used as a government witness and in that event bond would have to be-arranged. However, that night O'Neill brought Detectives Curtiss, Trammell and Den- nis J. Murphy to his rooms, at 1208 K street, where he was taken into oustody. Proctor Denles Having Gun. The jury now has testimony from two of the defendants—Eagles and Moreno—that Proctor opened fire on Busch. Proctor’'s defense was that he had no gun, did not shoot and was struck by the first shot fired “by one of the boys up front,” whom he sub- sequently identified as Eagles and Moreno. McCabe shed no light on the assailant of Busch, and he himself has been cleared of participation in the shooting by the three other de- fendants, who declared he had no gun at the time and did not shoot. James B. Archer, counsel for Proc- tor; Louls Tannenbaum, counsel for Eagles, and Clifford Grant, counsel for Moreno, will resume cross-examination of McCabe Monday morning and then James A. O'Shea, McCabe's attorney, said he might present a few character witnesses, With a short period of rebuttal, occasioned by Eagles’ shift of testimony yesterday, Horning will wind up the presentaion of all testi- mony and the arguments will begin.

An illustrated address on many of the wonders of nature in Europe by €. M. Ripley, connected with the radio station’ WGY, Schenectady, N. Y. and a_comparison by him of ihe industrial development of the United States with that of other countries, featured a “ladies’ day” Juncheon’ of .the Caravan Club of Almas Temple in the Ebbitt Hotel vesterday. In the United States laborers are the directors of power rather than the generators of power, as are members of the laboring class in Europe, due 1o the extensive use of machinery here and the lack of it over there’ de- v , continued the speaker, there are G0 electrical companies, as compared with only one in Chicago, but the one in Chicago, he added gen- erates twice as much electricity as the 60 in London at about half the cost. He told also how far the United States is ahead of all Kuropean countries in the matter of automobiles. Over there. he continued, the Ford automobile is considered a demon for speed, power and size, adding that in Viuropean countries ‘when a man apeaks of ‘iiy six,” he means six horsepower and not six cylinders. Mr. Ripley showed lantern slides of the Alps and told of improved pas- senger air service in the various Eu- 10pean countries. The speaker also gave illustrations of the possibilities of development in cittes and in the home by the usage of electrical power, showing drawings of a city with five layers of streets along which would be moving plat- forms or sldewalks. He also gave an account cf how in the future things might be made automatic in the homi s0 that the furnace, doors, window bed clothes and other things could be controlled by levers operated by a verson in hed. bill was intrusted to me as such. There is no other significance in the fact that my name was attached to it. “The tract of land in question is known as Mount Hamilton. It com- prises a ridge bearing that name, which is, perhaps a half mile beyond the end of Maryland avenue along the Bladensburg road that leads to Balti- more. East of it is another elevation known as Hickey Hill, and between are oid farm lands. This tract reaches to the marshes of the Ana- costia River, which are already owned ARRANGED FOR DOG Body of Ring, Who Died After Rescue From Cave, Lies in State. By the Associated Pre WOODRUFF, 8. C., February 19.— Elaborate memorial exercises are being planned by the Kelly brothers, Van and Harvey, over the body of Ring, red fox hound that became famous when imprisoned in a cave about two miles from here February 12 and was res- cued early Thursday morning by Wil- liam had worked continuously since Sun- day driving a tunnel into the hillside to reach the place where the dog was imprisoned by two bowlders. Ring was taken out alive, but he vesterday. a local undertaking establishment, em- balmed and has been lying in state while hundreds visited the place to view it. Exercises within the next few days will be held at the mouth of the den into which Ring chased a red fox, killed it and later was trapped. Arrangements are being made for the gathernig. Next to Ring in the line of honor will be the Kelly broth- ers, well-to-do farmers; then Willle Nelson, 19-year-old farm lad; next the workers who labored four days and nights to rescue the dog, while around the cave on the sloping hillside and along the banks of the Dildine Creek hundreds of onlookers are expected to gather, What will be done with the body is uncertain. Following the Floyd Col- lins precedent,’ neighbors are urging that it be buried in the cave. The Kelly brothers, however, favor offering it to some museum. benefit of the District, and to lose it as a blessing to the District itself would be an irreparable calamity.” Representative Ketcham, Republi- can, of Michigan also made an inter- esting speech regarding the advan- tages of a national arboretum, and particularly at the site proposed, as follows: “This proposition has been before the committee on agriculture for two or three years. I may say it has been |given very careful and very thorough consideration, and the sentiment is strong on that committee in favor of the proposition. “There are just two or three prac- tical questions that undoubtedly arise in the minds of those who are think- ing at all about it, and 1 want to an- swer those questions if T can. Location Hore Held Ideal. “In the first place, the question naturally raises as to why we desire place. I may say that the committee was impressed with the idea that Washington is an ideal location for a Government project of this sort. We already have in the United States several fine arboretums, but they are privately owned and controlled. We have nothing of a national sort. There- by the Government, some 400 acres in extent, now being drained by the Army engineers, and to become part of the park system. The Mount Ham- flton tract, when its purchase was first suggested, comprised about 400 acres, but part of it has already been taken over for building purposes and 1s no longer available for the use here in mind. It is probable that some- where between 300 and 350 acres could now be secured. This is in the hands of about 30 owners, but those who own the larger part of it have, with real public spirit, resisted the offers of speculators in order that it might come into the hands of the Govern- ment and at a price much below that which the speculators would give. The larger owners inform us that their duty to others will compel them to accept these offers if we do not act before the close of the present session, Many Varieties of Soil. “Originally it was suggested that the Botanic Garden should be moved to this location, but the possibility of that -has been avoided by deciding to keep the garden close to its present site. Now it is asked for by the De- partment of Agriculture as the loca- tion for an arboretum, which is a tract for the cultivation and study of trees, shrubs, everything with a woody fiber. The most important arboretum in the country chances to adjoin my own district, although not withineits borders—the Arnold Arboretum, which which contains 250 acres. Those in charge of it would like to have 50 acres more, for they inform me that 300 acres is about the right size to handle to the best advantage. “This tract will meet that condition perfectly. “Furthermore, there are more than 30 varleties of soil in the tract, mak- ing possible the cultivation of many varieties of trees and shrubs. It is rolling ground—upland and field land. It is a tract so beautiful in itself that any member here who has not seen it would sometime later in the season pass a delightful hour or two should he go there and stroll among its trees and over its' flelds. About 150 acres are now woodland; not the scrub-pine growth—very little of that—but larg- er trees of great variety, mostly hard- wood growth, with some of them ap- proaching the size of the trees in an untouched forest. So we have there an admirable groundwork for an ar- horetum, probably as Eood as could be found anywhere in the vicinity of Washington. The Department of Agri- culture desires that this open-air workshop shall be within easy reach of the department building. It has communicated through the Secretary of Agriculture the statement that there should be no delay in the acqui- sition of the land in question for this use. “Besides the benefit that would be brought to the District by the orna- mental nature of the institution, and perhaps more important in passing upon the wisdom of the appropriation, should be considered the practical benefit, Little Need for Buildings. In reply to an inquiry from Repre- sentative Kindred of New York as to how much would be paid for the land and how much for development of the aboretum, Mr. Luce said: “It will require the whole $300,000 for the purchase of the land. The latest value placed on the tract is in excess of that, but it is hoped that all the land which the department im- portantly needs can be acquired for the $300,000. And I may add that an arboretum requires but little expendi- ture in the way of buildings. The Ar- nold arboretum has only a modest ad- ministration building and a small con. Mrs, George B.

THIRTY PERMITS BLOCKED The drivers’ permits of 30 Washing- ton motorists were either canceled or suspended between February 1 and 15, #necording to the semi-monthly report ot Traffic Director M. submitted to Maj. v superintendent of police. Eleven permits were revoked on charges of driving while drunk, 10 for Javing bad records, 4 for leaving after «olliding, 2 for reckless driving and 1 for loaning permit. Mr. Eldridge also took up the permit of an inmate of 8t. Blizabeth’s Hospital and a minor A ™ho was driving a motor truck, " B. Hesse, servatory, smaller than will be found on many private estates. Little money will be needed for buildings, and com- paratively little will be required to administer such an institution,” Values Declared Rising. Representative Almon, Demberat, of Alabama called attention that the re- port states: “About 400 acres of the proposed site is already owned by the Government. It consists of marsh land about to be drained by Army en- zineers. The Mount Hamilton and Hickey Hill area, 408 acres, privately owned, was reported by the assessor in January, 1925, to be valued at $343;. 048, distributed among 30 owners."” Mr. Luce supplemented this by say- ing “that the assessment made in 1920 was $254,620; that the value is rising, and that every motive of economy ould dictate its immediate purchase ever it 1s to be acquired for the fore it has seemed fitting, in view of the new interest that is being taken in the question of forestry and the great importance that forestry shall un- doubtedly take in connection with our national life in the next few years that the National Government should become interested in the proposition of establishing a national arboretum. By reason of the fact, therefore, that ‘we have here assembled in the Depart- ment of Agricuiture the largest corps of experts in that particular line, it seemed only natural that if we could locate some tract of land near by ‘Washington where these experts might have easy access to it such a combination would be almost ideal. Further than this, so far as the cli- matic conditions are concerned, Wash- ington was thought to be fairly repre- sentative of the whole country. Here the trees that might grow in the more rigorous conditions of the Northern sections of the country would grow to advantage and here the plants and trees that grow in the Southern sec- tions might aiso develop under favor- able conditions, except, of course, those that come from the very extreme South. So, from the standpoint of cli- matic conditions and the availability of this particular point in the United States, because of its suitability to the various kinds of trees that are grown, the committes thought that Washing- lcl-:l‘ would be a very advantageous ce. Would Be “Bureau of Standards.” “Then, so far as this particular tract of land is concerned, it we are going to have the wide range of plants agd trees grown as would be fitting i1 4 national arboretum, cer- tainly we must have all conditions of soil, and so it is contemplated that the 400 acres already owned by the government on the flats of the Ana- costia River shall be a part of this tract of land, and that, together with the fine uplands so delightfully de- scribed by the gentleman from Massa- chusetts (Mr. Luce), will, when put together, give us all the range of soil that will be needed to grow the va. riety of plants and trees that should be found in a national arboretum. “In addition to that may T say that by reason of the fact that here are very many other experimental projects of the Government, it seemed fitting that this new project should find a place somewhere neaf where these others are carried on. If I were to sum it up in about one word or one expression, I think we might say that the proposition of establishing & ‘na- tional - arboretum here would be something in the way of having a bureau of standards in horiticulture located on this tract of land. I do not need to spend a moment with the members of the committee to magnify the importance of the work.of the great Bureau of Standard in con- nection with many other activities of our people; and, with the growing im- portance of trees and with the in- creased ‘importance of all kinds of horticulture, certainly I think it is a fine phrase that some one has coined to describe this new project as a bureau of standards in horticulture. For these reasons it has semed to the committee as if this particular tract of land in this centrally located place was almost ideal for this purpose, and 50 we gave it strong support. Could Experiment. “There are two other phases that I want to dwell upon briefly. First, with reference to one. aspect of it that I am sure must appeal to those of us who are interested in the paper industry. 1 happen to come from the section of the United States that in recent years has taken the lead in the manufacture of paper. “The City of Kalamazoo, Mich., chances to be in the district .of my colleague, Mr, Hooper, and that city has become in recent years the paper manufacturing center of the whole United States. Its boast is that a trainload of. finished paper is shipped from that city every day of the year. Naturally, then, we are interested in the source from which we may get a supply of raw materials that go into the making of the very high-grade papers that go out from that city. ‘We have a very practical interest in a national arboretum because the tim- ber supply is vital to the people who are manufacturing paper. I think it is one of the fine things that we may look forward to in the future with regard to this proposed aboretum that experiments may be made here with reference to quick-growing trees ign that may be imported from countries, 30 that those of us whe AF'e Nelson, after numbers of men ! succumbed to an attack of pneumonia | The body was brought to} an arboretum located at this particular { CuT 'ER.

Following his policy of making ap- pointments in the Department of State on the basis of long and efficient serv- ice of employes, Secretary Kellogg has decided to promote Michael J.

Mr. McDermont # from Peabody, Mass. In 1914 he was a clerk in the office of the Provost Marshal General in this city, and later was an executive clerk at the White House. During the ‘World War he served as a clerk for the Supreme War Council at Ver- sailles and also as secretary to Lieut. Col. Tasker H. Bliss of the American Peace Commission. Subsequently he was secretary to former Secretary Elihu Root of the committee of jurists which drafted the project for an in- ternational court of justice at The Hague. Returning to the United States he was confidential secretary to Presi- dent Harding on his trip to Alaska, following which he was appointed pri- vate secretary to the Undersecretary of State in 1923. interested in the reforestation of our lands for the purpose of the paper and other industries may know that these necessary experiments will be carried on under n-ost favorable conditions, “In addition to this, I am sure all of us recognize that such an aboretum would be of advantage to the growing industry, I think we may call it, of developing trees by nursery men. To- day there is a very wide fleld of experi- mentation along this line, and several members of the organization of the nursery men appeared before our com- mittee and very earnestly pleaded for the establishment of this arboretum 80 that here might be established va- riety standards of all kinds of trees that are grown in the nurseries of the United States, in order that some com- parison may be made between the de- velopments in their own local nurseries and the true types to be found in this national arboretum. “So from both angles, the practical and the esthetic, it seems to me this project is entirely desirable. Cost Held Moderate. “One thing that ought to be em- phasized in conclusion is that the cost of the project is very moderate when contrasted with the benefits that are sure to accrue in a practical way. “The total first cost as carried in the bill is $300,000, and then, of course, there must come the cost of maintenance. As so well stated by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Luce), this will be a very moder- ate figure, by reason of the fact we are already near to thise who natur- ally would have charge, namely, the men in the Department of Agricul- ture; and no extensive bulldings or equipment will be required. The esti- mate is that not to exceed'$25,000 or $50,000 a year will be required for the maintenance of this splendid project. ““Therefore, it seems to me, from the standpoint of sound public policy, we ought not to hesitate longer in estab- lishing this arboretum, because the value of this property is increasing. ‘We ought to close the matter up now and launch this very worthy and com- mendable project, and I hope it will receive your favorable consideration. Backed by Commerce Chambers. Mr. Ketcham laid before his col- leagues a letter from John W. O'Leary, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, warmly indorsing the project as fol- lows: “Yesterday the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States adopted a resolution favoring passage of the bill (8. 1640) for the establishment of a national ‘arboretum. “The value of research as an es- sential part of a sound national forestry policy has been emphasized through a referexdum vote of the chamber’s membership. The natfonal chamber believes that the establish- ment of an arboretum for scientific study and experimentation in prob- lems of tree and plant life, as con- templated in the pending bill, would be of great value to the timber and wood-using industries of the country. “I understand that this bill is to be considered by the House under a special rule.

JAPANESE ACCEPT ARMS CUT PLAN IN REPLY TO COOLIDGE ___(Continued trom First Page) . when she is looking for further in- dulgence on the debt question, but is repeating the ‘error which Foreéign Minister Briand made at the Wash- ington conference in 1921. The paper asserts it would scarcely be an exaggeration to say that from Foreign Minister Briand's similar re- fusal in 1921 dates the United States five years' aloofness from European affairs and her attitude on the interna- tional debt question which has been a special grievance to France. . Accusing France of selfishness in failing to consider Great Britain and other powers in the matter, the West- minster Gazette contends that Britain should still aim at a disarmament agreement with the United States and Japan. All the weekly reviews comment at length on President Coolidge's pro- posal. The Spectator and the Nation em- phasize the quandary in which the proposal places Great Britain because of her loyalty to the attempt of the League of Natlons to apply disarma- ment to all league members. They also declare it a misfortune that the United States is not a member of the league, & Some comments enlarge on the effect of the President’s proposal on home politics. The Saturday Review declares that it is an ultimatum and gays that should the proposed agree- ment becgme impgssible there is no shadow of doubt that Washington will indulge in an orgy of naval ex- penditure which either will ruin less prosperous countries or will leave them in a state of hopeless inferiority. The New Statesman says that the Coolidge schbme was obviously imprac- ticable and that its fate could have been anticipated. - “If France and Italy had accepted, the paper says, ‘‘we.should naturally have accepted, too, but we should have accepted without any real intention of agreeing to any serlous limitation of our crulser strength and without any hope of France agreeing to anything at all.” Most sympathetic is the Economist, which says that it would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of Presi- dent Coolldge's note, which is couched in terms very hopeful for future co-op- wrative action on the part of the United States. x The paper says that, although the note ham falled as far as it concerns France and Italy, it still is highly de- sirable that there should be an agree- ment among Great Britain, the United States and Japan and that even the question of getting Furopean land armaments dealf with should not be allowed to delay action in this direc- tlo The Kconomist thinks that Great Britain should not hesitate to accept the principle of naval equality with the United States in all respects, for “Great Britaln has made up its mind that whatever its relations with other powers it is not going to struggle with America for world dominion.” It concludes with the bellef that Britain should be ready, in agreement with the United States and Jgpan, to extend the 5—§—3 ratlo to all of ships. CLARK DENIES STORY ABOUT SHENANDOAH Assures Navy Department of Fal- sity of Credited Statement Concerning Metal. By the Associated Press. Prof. George L. Clark, divisional di- rector of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s research laboratory of applied chemistry, vesterday as- sured the Navy Department that he had made no public statement that the Shenandoah disaster was due to faulty metal. In a letter received by the Bureau of Aeronautics Prof. Clark took ex- ceptions to a story appearing Wed- nesday in the New Haven, Conn., Register which saild he had expressed that opinion. Not only had he given no interview on the subject, he said, but he had not even expressed such a’ view during an address before the Civil Engineering Socfetv in New Haven Tuesday. Prof. Clark sald that in his talk he had discussed his laboratory’s investi- gation of the structure of the wrecked dirigible’s materials and had presented numerous specimens. ‘A question was asked me,” his Jet- ter continued, “whether the Shenan- doah failure was due to the metal and the reply was that there is no direct evidence whatsoever that this was the case, but that the X-ray method was now available for the very careful study of all materials which might be subjected to any sort of severe condi- tions. This simple statement was twisted into the newspaper article as it appeared.” Sues Barber for $5,000. Katherine V.
