PARIS, March 5.—Prince Mistislav Galatzine. youthful Russian nobleman, 1s quoted by the Journal as announc- ing that he intends to oppuse strenu- ously the petition for divorce filed by his wife, the former Aimee Crocker, of California. He has engaged M. Cam- pinchi, one of the best known mem- bers of the Paris bar, to defend his interests. The case of the princess is being conducted by Frederick Allain, International la r.

C., SATURDAY., MARCH 5. 1927. 'NARY KEPT VIGIL FOR ARBORETUM | Senator and Haugen Watch- ed Chance to Rush Bill Through Jam. The patience and perseverance of Senator McNary of Oregun played an fmportant part in final enactment in the closing hours of the session of the bill to estublish a national arboretum for the Department of Agriculture. The bill had passed both branches of Congress and conferees had reached an agreement on the House amend- ments, but when the conference report | was ready to be presented Monday, the Senate was operating under a cloture rule, which prevented action on any- !thing but the prohibition reorg: tion bill, except by unanimous cons Senator McNary Alert. While the cloture rule was in effect, many Senators tried without suc to get unanimous consent to file re- ports or get action on such matters as conference reports. Before the pro- hibltion bill had been disposed of. the filibuster had set in against the resolu- tion to continue the life of the cam- paign fund investigating committee Throughout the long and tedious hours of the last four days of the ses- slon, Senator McNu at his place in the Senate, but no opening for the presentation of the arboretum report occurred until yesterday n Two hours before adjournment Ma jority Leader Curtis obtained consent to have a number of messages from | the House acted upon. following which Senator McNary asked the Senate to agree to the arboretum conference re- port. There was no debate and the report was agreed to. Amendment Stood Ready. As 500n as the report was delivered to the House, Chairman Haugen of the House agriculture committee took the final steps by having the House concur. The bill was immediately de- livered to the President and signed Senator McNary also was prepared orning. deficiency bill to make the funds available for the purchase of the aboretum site and Chairman Warren of the Senate appropriations commit- tee had announced he would accept th amendment.

One of Finest. “For many years every agency con- cerned with the esthetic development of the Natlonal Capital has striven | for passage of the bill creating the | national arboretum. . P. Caem- merer, secretary of the commission, speaking for that body, said “We are highly pleased that at last an arbore- tum is to be created in the Capital, to serve as a national laboratory for tree and plant life and to become an in- tégral part of development of the city. Washington is one of the few capital cities which does not now have a national arboretum and with passage of this measure it takes a | place with Paris and London and | with other citles in thls. count which have gardens of major size. “We shall work with the Depart- ment of Agriculture and other operat- ing agencies to make the arboretum one of the finest in the world. It will create a balance in the Capital be- tween the Zoological Park in the northwest for the propagation and study of animal life with the ar- boretum in the northeastsfor the p pagation and study of plant life. Many national organizations devot- ed to furthering study of plant and tree life backed the legislation. SHIP CAPTAIN GUILTY | IN RUM CONSPIRACY Former Associate of Charles W.
