It is the duty of all residents of the country to answer questions asked by census _enumerators beginning next April, President Hoover declared in a proclamation yesterday. “No person can be harmed in any way by furnishing the information re- quired,” he said, emphasizing that the cgnsus had nothing to do with taxation, military or jury service, compulsory school "attendance or similar matters. Any person refusing to answer is sub- Ject to penalty. The President's proclamation called ‘upon everybody in the United States to co-operate with the army of census ‘workers who will be going from door to door next Spring and after.

The body will be accompanicd by the widow. Mrs. Leila F. Lyon, who will be joined in Boston by her son, Capt. Henry Ware Lyon, jr., who won prominence as navigator of the air- plane Southern Cross, which spanned gxe“l’acmc from San Francisco to Aus- alia. Admiral Lyon had a long and pictur- esque career in the United States Navy. He was a survivor of the wrecks of three naval vessels. A native of Charleston, Mass., he was graduated from the Naval Acade- my in 1866. The following year he was a midshipman aboard the U. S. S. Sacramento when it was wrecked on the coast of India. In the late eighties Lyon was in the Samoan hurricane as executive officer aboard the U. S. S. Trenton, which was wrecked. Subse- quently he commanded the Nipsic, the only American naval vessel surviving the Samoan disaster, and brought it back to the United States in spite of it being in a disabled condition. Wrecked Attempting Rescue. ‘Two years to a day following the Samoan disaster the officer was wrecked off Cuttyhunk Light, Mass, on the naval tug Triana while attempting to rescue another ship. The Triana lost its bearing when a lightship had been swept out of position. In 1902 Admiral Lyon took command of the Olympia, which had served as Admiral Dewey’s flagship. It was while he was in command of the latter ship that it acted as escort to the French warship Gaulios, bearing a delegation of prominent Frenchmen to participate in ceremonies incident to the unveiling of the Rochambeau statue in this city. Friend of Amundsen. For some time prior to his retirement in 1907, he was in command of Mare Island Navy Yard, Calif. ‘While there he was a dinner guest at a dinner given in San Francisco to Roald Amundsen, famous explorer. A warm_friendship existed between the two. For his offer and taking care of Amundsen’s ship at the Navy Yard in San Francisco to keep in safe from souvenir hunters, he was presented with the Royal Order of St. Olaf. The medal is'to be returned to Norway, it is stated, in compliance with that country's re- quest that it be returned afer the death Admiral Lyon also had served with the European squadron and at various other navy yards besides men- tioned. Besides his widow and son, he leaves two sisters, Mrs. Frank Swan of Brookline, Mass., and Mrs. Anita Fors- ter, of Woodstock, Vt. AIR MAIL MEETING IS SET FOR MONDAY Delegates to (Jn})it.nl-m-Calif«'n-ninl Route Hearing Will Hold Cnlc)ll at Mayflower. Delegations to the public hearing to be conducted by the Post Office Depart- ment Monday morning on the proposed Southern transcontinental air mail route from the National Capital to Cali- fornia will hold an informal caucus at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in the Mayflower Hotel. The caucus, fostered by the delega- tion from the Chamber of Commerce of Fort Worth, Tex., will be attended by a subcommittee of the Washington Cham- ber of Commerce aviation committee, headed by Lieut. Walter Hinton. The delegations are expected to dis- cuss the manner of presenting their claims for a place on the proposed route before the Government commit- tee so that any difference of opinion which may arise may be ironed out be- fore the formal hearing Monday. Monday's hearing is to be devoted to | the proposal of Southern Skylines, new aviation corporation, to establish a Southern transcontinental air mail system at rates which will permit the Post Office Department to eliminate the deficit resulting from contracts over the present transcontinental system. ‘The chief argument for the estab- lishment of the new route probably will be made by William Gibbs McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury and head of the United States Railroad Ad- ministration, in his capacity as chair- man of the board of the new aviation corporation. The proposal was sub- mitted jointly by Southern Skylines and Southwest Air Fast Express, now oper- ating an air transport service through g‘le Southwestern States to the Pacific oast.

Rapid progress has been made by the Pan-American Commission on Customs Procedure and Port Formalities, which has been in session here this week. Committees appointed at the opening session Monday completed their work today, and it is expected that they will be ready to make their report for the signature of the delegates at a closing plenary session next Monday. Today the question of simplified rules and regulations for airports was dis- cussed, the belief being expressed that certain modifications in the regulations of ports and customs formalities should be provided for commercial airplanes in international traffic. Regularity of schedules and reduction of the time required to transport persons, mail and cargo between distant points, it wz pointed out, is essential to the succe: of efforts being made to encourage com- mercial aviation and the transport of mail, passenger and cargo by interna- tional lines At the closing meetings yesterday of the ports and customs committees, Dr. Juan V. Ramirez of Paraguay, chairman of the former, and Carlos Arroyo of Mexico, chairman of the latter, ex- pressed their appreciation of the spirit of co-operation shown by the members in their deliberations.

PLANS UNIFIED BODY Formation of “National Assembly” to Promote Recreation and Spir- itual Activity Under Way. ‘With the view of creating a unified body representing the 200 branches of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. organization, the formation of a national “railroad assembly” was proposed yesterday at the closing session of the eighteenth triennial conference of the Railroad Young Men’s Christian Associations of North America at the Mayflower Hotel. The Railroad Y. M. C. A. was organized to promote the recreational and spirit- ual activity of the National Y. M. C. A. among railroad men. Proposing the discontinuance of the triennial conference, the meeting adopt- ed several resolutions favoring a new forum body that will function without the periodic assembly of @legates.

BY MARK SULLIVAN. The portion of the tariff left undone as the Senate adjourns includes sugar. This fact indicates that the tariff will consume a considerable time out of the! new session. Sugar alone is easily capable of using up a week of Senate | debating. This suggests that it will be Christmas at least before the country has a new tariff bill completed in both houses. When the Senate resumes on Decem- ber 2 it will not even take up the tariff at once. A preferred place on the regu- lar session’s program of business is the nearly three-year-old case of Senator- elect Vare of Pennsylvania. The Vare) case, under present conditions, should not use up much time. It has been de- bated over and over again. Also the expected outcome is fairly well under- stood. The Vare case is almost the only item of business that will constitute a neces- sary postponement of resuming on the tariff. The Senate may, however, take up other matters if it sees fit. There are two judicial appointments, one in Pennsylvania and one in Kansas, which have been awaiting action by the Senate for an inordinate time, the Pennsyl- vania case especially. 1If the Senate should take up these judicial appoint- ments, they might consume several days, for there is controversy about oth. Can Spend Four Weeks on Tariff. Assuming the Senate does not allow any interruption except the Vare case, the body should be able to resume on the tariff by, roughly, December 6 or 7. Thereafter the Senate could finish what is left of the tariff within two weeks. but it is also true that the Senate, if it is in that kind of mood, can readily spend as much as four weeks on the remainder of the tariff. Whenever the Senate finishes there wll remain some time-consuming neces- sities before the bill is finally enacted. The version of the bill written b the Senate and the version written by the House must go to conference in order that differences between them may be smoothed out and compromised. The conference consists of a committee of the Senate and a committee of the House. It is possible for the two com- mittees to wrangle a long time. Under the present conditions the two commit- tees may want to go back to their re- spective chambers for instructions from time to time. ‘The net of it is that no one can guess how much _time the conference may consume. Because no one Can guess that, no one can guess when this tariff bill will be enacted. Some hopeful per- sons say by January 1. Some Demo- cratic leaders have predicted publicly February 1. Delay Affects Business. There is one condition making for speed. Various persons, some of them in exalted areas of finance, have charged that delay about the tariff has been in part responsible for business recession. As respects the past, hardly any well informed person in Washing- ton believes that. The vehemently re- sentful retorts arising in Washington have been approved in spirit by prac- tically everybody. The future, how- ever, is a different matter. It is gen- erally agreed that in the present condi- tion of the country any future delay is unfortunate. At a time when every business leader in the country is trying to about stability, it is conceded that future delay with the tariff runs counter to the common interest. In a national effort to achieve stability it is urgently important for businegs to know early just what the tariff is going to be. Heed will be given this argument and this condition by Congress. No faction and no leader will want to accept ac- countability for prolongation of delay. ‘There is another factor that should count for speed but may not. All the factions and all the leaders, with neg- ligible exceptions, are now at a state where they want or are willing to have the same kind of tariff. The battles have been won and the mental sur- renders have been made. The types of tariff onw demanded or conceded by all the factions are substantially identical. This statement applies only to rates and not to either the debenture plan or the flexible provision. Such a con- dition ought to make for prompt writ- ing of the rates and prompt decision one way or the other on the disputed provisions. Much Depends on Popularity. In fact, however, the possibility of promptness is not so great as this con- dition would suggest. There is mutual disinclination among the factions to admit publicly the agreement about rates which, in fact, exists. There is disinclination on the part of some fac- tions and leaders to accept responsi- bility for the bill. One reason is that it remains, of course, to be seen whether the tariff is going to be popular. ‘Whether this or any tariff is popular depends to some extent on the state of business when the tariff goes into ef- fect and subsequently. As to the fu- ture of business in general, there is at least some doubt. Persons looking at the future from a purely political standpoint want to be able to choose when the time comes whether they shall “point with pride,” or, on the other hand, “view with condemna- tion.” If it were certain that at elec- tion time next year all sections of the country will be .prosperous, including the corn belt, in that event everybody would be eager to accept responsibility for this bill and pass it promptly. Just the “off chance” that conditions may not be satisfactory is the reason for reluctance to take responsibility. PG— Thief Grabs Thanksgiving Feast.

Ave. at 26th St. KELLOGG IS PAID HONOR N LONDON Former Secretary of State Urges Reduction of Arms as Peace Move. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 23.—Frank B. Kellogg, Secretary of State in the ad- ministration of President Coolidge, has added his /oice to those professing strongly lasting Anglo-American ami- ability and co-operation to preserve the peace of the world. The former Secretary of State last evening emerged from private life to receive the homage of the Pilgrims’ So- ciety of England and to urge reduction in national armament sufficient to pre- vent its use for anything but national protection. Ambassador Dawes voiced renewed hope at the outcome of the forthcoming five-power naval conference. He depre- cated criticism of the conference pro- gram that it was not far-reaching enough, reminding his hearers that a program of disarmament. step by step would create a permanent staircase to- ward permanent world peace. Toast Honors Kellogg. Viscount, Cecil of Chellwood proposed a toast to Mr. Kellogg, saying: “Mr. Kellogg surely will go down to history as one of the most convinced advocates of peace who ever directed the foreign policy of his country.” “No one or two nations are going to be able to dominate the world,” Mr. Kellogg said. “The control of the seas is now an impossible dream. The se- curity of the world can be obtained only by mutual consideration, confidence and the advancement of pacific settlement of disputes. “I am hopeful that progress is going to be made in reduction of naval arma- ments, and that it will be followed by reductions in land armament, and that the world will be satisfied that the great powers demand and intend to maintain peace.” Holds War Impossible. He emphasized his belief that war be- tween the United States and Great Brit- ain was impossible, and referred at length to the good impression made re- | H. cently by Premier Ramsay Macdonald in America. The white-haired American was ap- plauded frequently, particularly with his references to Anglo-American friend- ship, the Kellogg-Briand anti-war pact and the generally peaceful outlook the Western Hemisphere. A miniature Statue of Liberty in ice was carried by the chefs to Mr. Kel- logg‘: place at the table in the Victoria Hotel.
