) WASHNGTON PAD TRIBUTE BY EMERY Newspaper Man in “Birthday Talk” Gives Human Side of Patriot. If George Washington were living today he would be against prohibition, but in favor of enforcement while pro- hibition is law, Fred A. Emery, Wash- ington newspaper man, told the So- ciety of Natives of the District of Co- Jumbia last night at the Washingion birthday meeting, held in the Wash- ington Club. Taking as his topic “Human Side- lights on George Washington,” Mr. Emery informed the organization that if Washington were now alive “he would favor the farm relief legisla- tion, in principle, which, with the tariff, is the agenda for the coming extra session of Corgress.” “He would favor rivers and harbors legislation, a waning subject at this session of Congress,” Mr. Emery con- tinued. “He would still be opposed to entangling alliadces with European governments, bu$ not opposed to tem- porary aid betveen them, for he suc- cessfully sought France's money, mu- nitions and navy, though once he had fought that nation in the Colonial struggles, and again was recalled at the close of liis life as a commander- in-chief in a narrowly averted war with France. £ “It is fitting that this organization, representing the native-born of the National Capital he founded, the city whose name he sponsored, the Federal district he rescued from dense forests and tobacco patches and morasses, and paved the way for its supreme position as the foremost of world capitals, should pause tonight to pay him tribute,” Mr. Emory told his audience. “For as the sun set over his unparal- leled career, 300 houses told the story of the Washington of his day, while todav it boasts 525,000 population and & billion and a half dollars of assessed realty valuation. Making of Capital. “It was Washington's abounding faith, like Madison's along with the Congressional log-rolling ~ over the Federal assumption of state war debts, that made the city of Washington, now grown into a metropolis that may reach the million population mark within 15 years. Washington's keen _prophetic vision led him to write to Mrs. Fair- fax about this city: ‘A century hence. if this country keeps united, it will roduce a city though not as large as Eondon. yet of a magnitude inferior to few others in Europe.”’ The Washington that enjoyed dancing and fishing and liked to bet on horse races was portrayed for the society by Mr. Emery, who thus epitomized the life of the man known as “first in war, ! first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen”: i \ “Washington as a younster, fleet- footed, strong and agile; a fox hunter, deer stalker and duck shooter who loved his toddy; thwarted by motherly appeal from becoming a British midshipman and later alternately fighting Indians, the French and the British; a conscien- tious patriot who squelched an incip- |ient effort to make him a king: im- perturbable in war and in council, but vamped at midday by a rich widow he |tater called ‘my Patsy'—these are typ- ical human sidelights on the greatest American of all time.” Selections by Choir. In addition to Mr. Emery's address, the society was regaled with selections by the choir of the Chevy Chase Pres- byterian Church. The program opened at 8 o'clock with a salute to the flag ‘and the singing of “America.” The choir comprised Mrs. M. C. Guth- rle, soprano; Robert Ferguson, tenor; Maj. Lee S. Tillotson, bass, and m Stift was the accompanist. Mrs. Ella C.

WASHINGTON, |[HOOVER PARTY WARMLY WELCOMED BY CHILE'S COURTLY PRESIDENT, WHO HAS MOUNTED TO POLITICAL RANK LIKE American Shows Interest in Eco- nomic Problems. CIVIC FETES NUMEROUS Sightseeing, Shopping and Missing of Boat Add Zest to Visit. Note—Greater light and clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover’s trip to South America, in which untold diplomatic advantages were recorded Jor the United States, are to be gained from_the interesting story written by Rez Collier, The Star’s own representative on the tri which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. BY REX €OLLIER. President-elect Hoover's first official move after his arrival in Santiago, capital of Chile, was to pay a formal call on President Carlos Ibanes, the Mussolini of South America. Mr. Hoover rode to the presidential palace amid great pomp. Gen. Ibanez had turned over to his distinguished guest one of the ornate c: of state and had assigned the famous presidential lancers, mounted on white horses, as an escort. The broad white building, with its tall stone columns, iron-barred windows and lofty balustrades, seemed to reflect the firm character of its dauntless occupant. The American President-elect found Chile’s President tc be a man whose commanding military mien clothes a nature dominated by attributes of courtliness and_cordiality. Gen. Ibanez had qualities of leader- ship that had elevated him to the helm of a virtual dictatorship in Chile. He had become President of the Re- public through a series of bloodless revolutions, during which he had en- gineered a Fascist-like movement aimed at the rising tide of bolshevism in his i st f his gains n furtherance of crusade af t radicalism, Gen. Ibanez had assumed control of the government early in 1927. This had been achieved by his ap- pointment as Vice President and the “granting” of a “leave of absence” to the incumbent President, who later re- signed. The retiring executive was “rewarded” with an appointment as Chilean delegate to the League of Nations. Gen. Ibanez became head of the government—at first by right of accession and then by almost unan- imous election of the people. Radicalism Hard Hit. The Ibanez quasi-dictatorship had played “havoc with radicalism in Chile. Hundreds of agitators were deported, newspapers were suppressed and even government officers high posts were sent out of the country. The political reforms fincluded reorganization of the army and navy along “patriotic” lines and institution of drastic economic N e ning of e e , efforts to balance the national t and es- tablishment of a technical research de- partment to rehabilitate the nitrate in- dustry by introduction of new ex- traction processes. Mr. Hoover manifested intense in- terest in Chile’s economic problems. Chile, he knew, was & fruitful market for American capital, many of millions of dollars having been in- vested there in recent years. The gov- ernment itself had borrowed nearly $100,000,000 in the United States to meet deficits. As a political economist, Mr. Hoover is said to have studied closely this influx of outside capital and to have indicated his pleasure that much o:a&: :mwed money was be- v public en of permanent benefit to the m""’"‘“ . Ibanez promptly returned the call made by President-elect Hoover, riding under heavy military escort the American embassy. There the in- vited Mr. and Mrs. Hoover to be his guests at a state luncheon in the pal- ace on the morrow. In the wake of President Ibanez and his retinue came hundreds of Chilean colony. The Americans later partici- pated in a special reception at the pre- tentious Union Club, where Mr. and Mrs, Hoover shook hands with scores of their admirers from “the States” and partook of light refreshments. Meanwhile other members of the good- will party were being feted regally by the government and by the citizenry. Sightseeing and shopping tours were ar-~ ranged. There were automobile rides through Santiago’s beautiful boulevards, among which may be mentioned the spacious Alameda, and visits to her fine buildings, such as the Congreso Nacional and the National Library. A marvelous view of the entire city was obtained from the sylvan heights of Cerro Santa Lucia, & 200-foot mound of rock which rises in the heart of the capital to form the city’s most captivating park and open- air resort.

's dictator-president, Gen. Carlos Ibanez, embassy, while the remaining members of the party, official and umofficial, were quartered in comfortable hotels. It was in Santiago that the party became really convinced of the fact that breakfast is a great mystery to the South American restaurateur. The cafes do not open early enough to serve the morning meal. even if the proprietors understood what breakfast meant. Repeated demands of newspaper ment for breakfast resulted inevitably in delivery to their rooms of the stereotyped trays of rolls, preserves and coffee. ‘The Chilean has a habit of staying up late and making up for the lost sleep by remaining in bed until the sun is well up the next morning. He cannot be disturbed for breakfast. If he is of the wealthy class, as most of the citizens of Santiago are, he loves pleasure and is willing to spend lavishly of his fortune to attain it. One of Santiago's chief pastimes is racing, and followers of the sport there have provided themselves with one of the most beautiful tracks in the world. The Hipodromo at Rio is its only rival in South America. The San- tiago track has a clubhouse that is an architectural gem. The approach is through a sunken garden, where foun- tains sparkle in the sunshine by day and in rainbow-hued spotlights by night. From the grandstand may be seen the snow-capped summits of the distant Cordilleras, The Santiago Jockey Club entertained & group of the good will pilgrims at a buffet luncheon in the handsomely furnished clubhouse, expressing profuse regrets that lack of time precluded the running of a special race program Regular race days, it was explained, are Sundays and legal holidays. Members of the Chilean press enter- tained their American colleagues at a picturesque luncheon atop Cerro San Cristobal, & mountain, on the edge of the city. The feast was served in an open-air pavilio nthatched with reeds. A native orchestra supplied the music. Automobiles carried the party up the tortuous road leading to the summit. Felicitations at Luncheon. ‘The presidential luncheon at the pal- ace was attended by Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, Ambassador Fletcher and other members of Mr. Hoover's official staff. President Ibanez and the American President-elect exchanged formal ex- pressions of friendship and predicted that their countries will continue ‘o go hand in hand along the pathway of pan-American fellowship. “Our economic interests are recipro- cal,” Mr. Hoover said, “and our progress in prosperity and comfort can only be mutual.” President Thanez expressed a desire to meet the American correspondents, so an informal reception was arranged for them. The general received the news- rper men in his executive offices, but et it be known in advance that he would not submit to questioning. En- the room into which the group had ushered by courteous aides, the President shook hands cordially with each of the visitors and then spoke a few words of felicitation. His con- cluding remark was an emphatic re- service you want.

The cabinet officer explained that he merely wished to make the acquaintance of the press, adding that he himself had been a newspaper man once. The newspaper contingent, by the ‘way, was by this time nearly up to its regular strength. A Chilean military airplane had brought to Santiago two of the three corespondents who had been left behind at Antofagasta, but the joy or the reunion had ben beclouded by the fact that a second plane, bearing the other members of the long-lost trio, had ben forced down at Copiapo, more than 300 miles north of the capital. ‘The returning pair of correspondents, William Philip Simms and Edward Price Bell, told a remarkable story. They, with the missing writer, Rodney Dutcher, had gone ashore with the other newspaper men at Antofagasta and had been invited to lunch by the commissioner of the port. The Ameri- cans cxplained to their host that they must return to the Maryland by 2 o'clock, but the port officials said he was in charre of all arrangements for the battleship's departure and assured his guests that anchor would not be hoisted until 4 o'clock. In the mean- time they must forget the ship and ac- cept iis hospitality, and he would promise to put them aboard the Mary- land before she left. Find Themselves Marooned. Some time before 4 o'clock the trio was escorted to the wharves and there they got the shock of their lives. The Maryland had gone! They were ma- rooned without baggage, extra clothing or money, in a remote port on the bar- ren northern strip of Chile. The port commissioner was as flabbergasted as the Americans. The impossible had happened, and he was to blame. He must atone for his mistake, somehow. ‘The radio and telegraph were brought into play. Government officials at San- tiago were advised of the predicament in which the tria of correspondents had found themselves. Prompt and drastic measures were resorted to. ‘The government sent a motorized rail- car to carry them part of the way. The rail-car was an old touring automobile tracks.

C., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1929 ROYALTY OIL CASE REVIVED BY WALSH Senator Urges Censure of Gfficials for Renewal of Sin- clair Contract. Senator Walsh, Democrat of Mon- tana, yesterday on the floor of the Senate urged the censure of the In- terior and Justice Departments for their part in renewal of the Sinclair contract for Salt Creek royalty oil, which was later cancelled. The pro- posal was o] d by Senator Nye, Re- publican of North Dakota. Several times Senator Robinson broke into the debate to question Walsh con- jcerning his letter of last February ex- pressing indorsement of the proposal of Secretary Work to renew the contract. The Indianan’s statement brought Senators Bratton of New Mexico and Wheeler of Montana, both Democrats, into the debate. Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali- fornia, then asked Robinson if Dr. Work justified his action by Walsh's letter. The Indianan replied “ne 'l Senator Wheeler added * Senator from Indiana who does that.” Wheeler asserted that the Walsh letter was being used “to draw a red herring across the trail to divert public atten- tion from the real issue.” After a day of debate which drew some Republicans to the support of the North Dakotan and showed Democrats enerally behind the Montanan, the sue_went over until today, when Sen- ator Robinson, Republican, Indiana, an- nounced he would take the floor to op- pose Walsh. The resolutfon for which the Mon- tanan is seeking Senate approval was rejected by the lands committee, and ‘Walsh brought it up on the floor over the protest of Chairman Nye, who in- dicated that he tghnn!d to present a report setting forth the committee’s ma- jority view.

Other means of land transportation were used to supplement the rafl-car, the immediate destination being a military aviation field in the mountains south of Antofagasta. Arrived finally at the field, it was found that all three of the “musket- eers” could not get into the military plane, so it was decided to carry Dutch- er in a commercial plane. The military plane made the hazardous flight over the Andes without trouble, but the com- mercial plane was forced down at Coplapo with a broken oil line. An- other military plane was dispatched from Santiago to pick up the stranded correspondent. As the hour set for departure of the Hoover party from Santiago grew near- er, anxiety for Dutcher became acute. Finally, scarcely half an hour before the train was to leave, a plane swooped out of the clouds from lge North and eased to earth on the outskirts of the capital. A few moments later Dutcher rushed into the hotel—hatless, grimy and shivering in his light clothing, but, withal, happy. The last of the three lost sheep had come home to the good-will fold.

The Pan-American Trade Mark Con- ference now In session here continued its work today in preparation of a treaty for the submission to the 21 American governments looking to the protection in all these countries of trade marks and commercial names, and to the suppression of unfair com- petition in international trade. A special committee is preparing the draft of a protocol providing for the establishment of am Inter-Ameri- can Trade Mark Bureau, through which registrations will be made by owners desiring protection of their marks in various countries of the Amer- ican Continent signatory to the treaty. Provision for this bureau is being made in a separate document rather than in the general treaty, so that any na- tions so desiring may approve the treaty without actually becoming party to the working of the bureau. ‘The committee to which was assigned the subject of the “suppression of un- fair competition” has adopted the fol- lowing general definition on that point: “Every act or deed contrary to com- mercial good faith or to normal and honorable development of industrial or business activities shall be considered as unfair competition and, therefore, unjust and to be prohibited.” A detailed description as to what acts or procedure shall be considered as un- fair competition was referred to a sub- committee to draft and report back when it meets again this afternoon.

By the Associated Press. A proposal that “lame ducks” be barred from eligibility for Federal ap- pointive jobs for two years after their defeat at the polls was presented to Congress yesterday by Senator DIl Democrat, Washington. The Senator, in submitting the bill, denied that it was aimed at any par- ticular individual. The measure also would apply to a member of one house of Congress who gave up his seat in that body to stand for election to the other house and who was unsuccessful in his attempt. Among the nomihations pending in the Senate are those recommending ap- pointment of former Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin and Representative Gar- rett of Tennessee, minority leader of the House, to be judges of the Court of Customs Appeals. Garrett was defeated in a race for the Democratic senatorial nomination in his State. Lenroot was defeated for re-election in 1926. “I probably will be unable to get ac- tion on the bill at this session,” Dill said, “but I expect to reintroduce the measure at the special session and I have assurances that hearings will be ordered. “This sort of thing happens after every election and I am opposed to ap- pointment of a man who has been turned down by the people he repre- sents in Congress. Frequently a re- jectsd candidate gets a better job through the mere fact that he has been defeated. Then, too, men who are serv- ing in ‘lame duck’ sessions often are subservient to the wishes of the admin- istration in the hope that they will be rewarded by appointment to a Federal BRIGHTON HOTEL | 2123 California Street N.W.
