Traces Rail Abuses. Mr. Woodlock ®raced transporta- tion problems from their beginning in this country up to the abuses of secret rebating discriminations and the attempts of State legislatures to enforce rates, which led ultimately to the enactment and strengthening | of the interstate cominerce act. connection with the early fight over rate fixing he declared that if any State is to be given credit for pav- ing the way for Federal control of the railroads, credit should be given t0_the State of Texas. Regulating the conduct and man- agement of a transportation system in excess of 250,000 miles, involving a multitude of conflicting problems, Mr. Woodlock declared, is one of the biggest jobs under the Government service. ~ “If there were in heaven 11 arch angels who could be made members of the commission,” he said, “it would still be safe to pre- dict that opinions would be rendered by & 6-to-5 vote.” Program Is Switched. Woodlock was_introduced by Clyde B. Aitchison, wife of Commission Aitchison of the Inter- state Commerce Commission and president of the Political Study Club. When it became known at the last moment that the women's quartet was unable to appear, this need on the musical program was filled by the Interstate Commerce Quartet, com- prising Harold Brown, Mr. Wooden, Thomas Pyne and J. Paul Kelley, Robert Feuerstein was accompanist. The meeting yesterday was held at the Washington Club. MOTOR COI\}IP.ANY ON SALE Rickenbacker Firm, Assets $6,- 000,000, Is in Receiver’s Hands.

By the Associated Press. Developments in Mexican-American flow from the -hurried visit of Amba sador Tellez to Mexico City for confer- ences with President Calles and other government officals were deferred yes- terday by the Ambassador’s decision to postpone his call on Secretary Kellogg until this week. He expects to confer with Mr. Kellogg tomorrow, but made no advance appointment. Neither the Ambassador nor the State Department would throw any light whatever upon the present status of the dispute between the two countries, at least pending the con- ference. Both maintained complete silence as to the subjects discussed in the regent mystery correspondence be- tween Washington and Mexico City that has been linked with the Ambas- sador's sudden trip to the Mexican capital. No Official Report. The White House statement of ¥ri- day that there had been no develop- indicates that the Washington Gov ernment itself may not have advance information as to what the Ambas- sador will_have to say to Secretary Kellogg. It has no official report of the intention of the Mexican govern- ment forecast in some Mexico City press reports to seek a solu tion of the wrangle over oil and land laws which would satisfy the American demand that the legitimatel asquired property rights of its na tionals in Mexico be respected. There is no doubt, however, that Washington officials _have attached some significance to the unofficial re- ports from Mexico in that regard. it remains for Ambas- sador Tellez to indicate what the pur- poses of President Calles are in that regard. EARLY AGREEMENT NEEDED. Status of Arms Embargo Treaty Makes Action Necessary to Amity: BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Relations between the United State: and Mexico will be put on a satisfac- tory basis within the next few weeks or “there will be an estrangement which may take a long time to erase. It is true, as Secretary Kellogg out, that no ultimatum was sent. It is also true that many of the published stories about the “mystery note” have touched on collateral ques tions which are at issue. But basically the Mexi by force of circumstances what amounts to a self-imposed ultimatum. In other words, there is a treaty which governs smuggling. It will expire soon if-not renewed. It covers the importation into Mexico of arms and ammunition. Mexico has been told that the United clined to renew the treaty unle: whole relationship with Mexico cleared up. Revolutionary Elements Ready. The effect of an expiration of | treaty would mean to let arms and mmunition go to whatever groups or | elements want to buy supplies in the | United States.

By the Associated Press. Harry F. Sinclair presented to the Supreme Court yesterday briefs to be used by his counsel on April 11, when appeal in the Teapot Dome naval eserve case comes up for oral ar- gument. Separate briefs were offered for the Mammoth Oil Co., which holds the lease, and for the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing and the Sinclair Pipe Line companies operating. on the reserve. Refer to Doheny Decision. No reneral discussion was presented of the recent decision by the court in the Doheny case, which canceled the lease on the Elk Hills naval oil re- serve in California and the contract for construction of storage tanks at Pear] Harbor, Hawaii. The briefs referred to parts of the decision relating to the use of corrupt methods by Doheny to influence Al- bert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, and to the absence of danger of drainage on the Culifornia reserve, and asserted that danger was threat- ened by drainage on Teapot Dome, with no evidence of fraud to warrant the cancellation of the lease and con- tract. Claim Right to Compensation. That part of the Doheny decision referring to the exchange of ment crude oil for fuel ofl products for the Navy was advanced as sustaining the arrangement with the crude oil and pipe line companies, which insisted that they were entitled :.n compensation for their heavy out- ay in awarding the Teapot Dome lease defended on the ground of international conditions, and fraud alleged through the use of Liberty bonds was denied. 3 RYNDAM IS RELEASED. Quarantine Flag on “Floating Uni- versity” Lowered in Holland. | ROTTERDAM, Holland, March 19 ). he “floating university” steam- er Ryndam, which is being used to carry American students on a cruise around the world, was released from quarantine yesterday fter the removal of the quarantine 1g the vessel brought in to the | docks of the Holland-American line | to await the arrival of its passengers, who have been visiting Paris. The | students are expected to reach here tomorrow or Sunda. The Ryndam has undergone disin- fection here since it arrived flylng a quarantine flag following the removal of two members of the crew at Venice for observation of a fever from which they were suffering. | unethical for the Mexican embassy to attempt to get information thi vay, whereupon the Mexican authori- | ties ‘are sald to have cited the activi- ties of military attaches in forelgn countries as a defense. The difference pointed out to Mex- ico is that while an attache of a foreign embassy might collect all available information for his govern- ment’s use, he had no right to arrange to get these data by fmproper means. There are other questions such as the conduct of propaganda bureaus which are up for discussion, but, as | explained in behalf of President Cool- J1dge recently, all collateral questions | will disappear if there is an agree- ment on the problem of confiscation. | Mexico's answer is being brought by | Ambassador Tellez, and officials are | hopeful that the Mexican administra- | tion has developed a formula that will | put Mexico and the United States on a better basis. Otherwise there is likely to be which will hardly contribute to good relations. (Copyright, 1927.)

With the announcement yesterday hat Camp Eustis, Va., will open its zates July 7 to August 5 for begin- ners or first-year men with no pre- vious military training, Washington headquarters of the Organized Re- serves is planning to conduct an ac- tive campaign to exceed the quota allotted to the District of Columbia and nearby Maryland and Virginia counties. Aside from Fort Eustis, which pro vides basic and infantry courses for vouths from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, four other training centers will open the same time for men who have earned ad- mission to what are described as the Red, White and Blue courses for more advanced training. These are Fort Hoyle, Md., for Field Artillery; Fort Monroe, Va., Coast Artillery; “ort Myer, Va., Cavalry, and Fort Humphreys, Va., Engineers.

Andrew Moses, senior executive officer of the Washington headquarters, has fixed an enrollment of 500 as his objective. This is in the expectation that some of the other districts in the 3d Corps Area will fall short of thelr full quotas and va- cancles may be filled from those on the waiting’ list. ‘Washington's drive for membership the Citizens' Military Training Camps will be conducted through a representative citizens' committee. Vice President Charles G. Dawes is honorary chairman of the District committee and has as his executive assistant, Capt. Charles Demonet, a reserve officer who has taken much interest in the Summer camps. Maj. R. P. Lemly of Washington head- quarters will co-operate with the citizens’ committee and information about the camps may be obtained by applicants from the headquarters in the Graham Building, Fourteenth and E streets, whenever desired. Will Conduct Drive. The citizens’ committee will can- vass the homes and schools of the city thoroughly this Spring, in an en- deavor to bring before the public the physical and educational values of the tralning camps. Washington will be plastered with posters describing life in the camps and it is planned to make frequent use of motion pic- tures to arouse interest in the train- ing courses. Individual members of the committee will be in charge of these various activities of the cam- paign and employers, for instance will be urged to arrange vacatiol periods so as to release young em- ployed men during the month of the encampments.

Applications will be received as long as they come into headquarters, it was explained, and those on the waiting list will be given chances to fill vacancies as they occur in the order of their applications. For the youths of Washington, the civilian training camps offer a super- vised vacation period, with a minimum of military training for beginners and programs crammed full of outdoor ex- ercise, athletics and recreation. The basic or beginners' course at Fort Eustls, which is located near Fort Monroe, Va., provides elemen- tary military instruction, rifle marks- manship, military courtesy, personal hyglene, first aid to the injured, sani- tation and studies in American citl- zenship. The real purpose is to build a sound mind in a sound body and to instill in the younger men the advan- tages of military discipline. High Schools Supply. Red, white and blue courses are for former Citizens' Military Tralning Camp graduates or those who have had previously military training who choose to advance progressively through the courses leading up to final grauation from the blue course Graduates of this latter course are eligible for commissions in the Offi- cers' Reserve Corps of the Army. Washington high schools, ~where military training is given under the supervision of Army officers, are the chief recruiting centers for these camps in the local area. Many of the cadets have made fine military records and are now holding reserve com- missions. Applicants for the basic course at Fort Eustls must be from 17 to 24 years of age. The Cavalry camp at Fort Myer, limited to 200 men, probably will be the first one closed to applicants, and the few men from the District’ who join this camp each Summer are urged to send in their names early. At Fort Eustis the allotment for the entire area is 1,300, the largest of any of the camps. Col. Moses at Washington headquar- ters is very much pleased over the interest that is being shown in the Summer camps and fully expects the District of Columbia to go “over the top” with a record enrollment before the July camps open.

Impressed with the urgent need of | repairing the Highway and Klingle Road Bridges, the District Commis- | sioners yesterday asked Controller | General McCarl to determine whether they could legally authorize the work by day labor rather than by contract | under proposals which are not satis- |* factory. Bids were twice requested for the | repair of the Highway Bridge, the | Commissioners pointed out. Only one | was recelved the first time and it | was unsatisfactory because it was | based on a ‘“cost plus” proposi The second time the work was adver- | tised two bids were received, one ex- orbitant, the Commissioners said, | while the concern submitting the sec ond bid was unable to present satis factory evidence of the manner of doing the work upon such an im- | portant project and under adverse | conditions that would exist. Bids for the repair of the mmml Road Bridge also were exorbitant, | the Commissioners exr The | lowest quotation was $22,000, it was | emphasized, while the engineer of bridges estimated that the work could | be done for $10,300, and that he is | confident that it can be accomplished within this figure with the bridge re pair personnel In the event that the Controlle General authorizes the Commission to do the work by day labor, it is | planned to use the repair personnel | under the engineer of bridges, and to | purchase all necessary material under | competitive proposals. The Commissioners feel that the Highway Bridge should be repaired as early as possible, as the situation in | many ways s hazardous, although the 1 ned.
