C. |GOOD PROVED TO !New Secretary of War Chal- lenged With Gloves by Boy. ! | I r | | | | Hopes Washington Will Be- come Most Beautiful City in World. BY REX COLLIER. America's new Secretary of War had |to demonstrete his abllity to fight be- | fore he could pass muster in his own Ilnmily circle as one qualified to as- sume leadership of the Nation's military forces. The test was demanded and con- |ducted by Secretary Good's 11-vea: |old son, Robert, student in the public 1 schools at Evanston, Ill. The War Sec- ;retlr_v made the disclosure today in an interview. “When I came home with the news- | papers announcing my appointment to the cabinet,” he said, “Robert looked #t the pictures and the headiines and | then, in a reproachful tone, exclaimed: “Dad, Why Did You Hold Out?” | “‘Dad, why have you been holding out on me?* “I told him that I ecouldn't let him know about it until the President an- nounced the appointment. He seemed to accept my explanation, and left the room. A few minutes later he returned with a pair of boxing gloves and, hand- ing them to me, said: “All right, if you're to be Secretary of War, let's see if you can fight!" " Secretary Good chuckled as he re- called the incident. Robert is his spe- | cial chum, and he plans to bring him to Washington just as soon as Mrs. | Good can find a house to suit the needs of the family. James W., jr., Northwestern University. rounds out a happyr family circle. . Pleased by Return te Capital. Secretary Good resumes residence in the National Capital with a good deal | of pleasure. He became attached to the | city while serving in Congress, his po- sition as chairman of the House ap- propriations committee affording him an opportunity to learn of Washing- | ton’s needs and aspirations. “There are improvements that must | be made before Washington can merit the title of ‘the most beautiful city in | the world’ — a title which I deeply | hope will be applicable before many years have passed,” the Secretary stated. Considers the Avenue Disgrace. “Young men and women who visit | Washington take away with them not | recollections of the speeches they hear | in Congress, but memories of the im- | posing structures in which those | speeches are delivered. Their impres- | slons of the seat of Government are | | | | ! concrete ones, gained in sight-seeing | tours to the points of interest. Noth- ing should be left unturned to insure a high and noble conception of the Capital. “I am sorry to say that I consider lvania avenue a disgrace to the city and the Nation. It is a street properly belonging to a city bf 25,000 inhabitants, rather than to one so large and so important as Washington. For- tunately, the Federal Government is planning to beautify the south side of the Avenue, but the north side remains untouched. I realize, of course, that the war delayed the improvement of this thoroughfare, but the work should be pushed now without abatement.

Acosta by telegram to give Aguirre the most summary and quickest court-martial seible according to Mexican military w and to be certain to get pictures of Aguirre before and after execution to prove beyond a doubt that the rebel leader was dead. News of the movement against Mazatian came in a telegram from Gen. Jaime Carrillo, military governor of the State of Sinaloa.

By the Associated Press. BOSTON, March 21.—The Boston Herald says today in a copyrighted story that its Washington correspondent has learned that Alvan T. Fuller, former Governor of Massachusetts, has been tentatively picked to succeed Myron T. Herrick as this country’s Ambassador to France. Fuller, long regarded as possible choice for the post, will arrive in Wi gton Saturday afternoon, and, the Herald adds, it is “hardly by accident” that his arrival will coincide with that of Henry L. Stimson, the new Secretary of State. The former governor has been in Palm Beach and Is motoring north. Apparently the only question unset- | tled is whether Stimson will approve Fuller's choice for the Paris post, the story says. Reports that former Gov. Alvan 'T. Fuller of Massachusetts is to succeed Myron T. Herrick as Ambassador to France were received at the White House today with a reiteration of the statement that President Hoover is con- sidering no diplomatic appointments until the arrival of his Secretary of State, Henry L. Stimson. Mr. Fuller, it was said. has been in-: vited to call at the White House while passing through the city Eaturday, but whether he will spend the week end has not been determined. Stimson is expected here Sunday. It was indi- cated, moreover, that the fact of their arriving here £o0 closely together is en- tirely a coincidence and not o be con- strued as having any bearing upon the selection of an appointee for the Paris post. At the White House it is assumed that Herrick will wish to remain in Paris and information available is that Mr. Hoover will continue him in the ambassadorship there.
