LATIN NATIONS JOIN 10 HONOR PRESTES President-Elect of Brazil Is Guest of Pan-American Union. Latin America joined with the United States today in paying honor to a com- patriot of the Southern continent, Dr. Julio Prestes, President-elect of Brazil, who is in Washington to return the good-will visit of President Hoover. Dr. Prestes was the guest this after-} noon of the governing board of the Pan-American Union, called into special session in his honor, with Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson presiding. The - members of the Latin American diplomatic corps assigned to Washington ~and other Rotables of the Capital were present. Following the session of the govern- ing board, there was a luncheon in the Hall of the Flags. Dr. Manuel C.

Varela Minister of Uruguay. and Dr. Enciso. charge d'affaires of Argentina Strains of the Brazilian national a them, played by the United States Navy Pand, greeted Dr. Prestes as he was eccorted to the governing board room. where he was received by Secreta State Stimson and the Ambassadors from the Latin American diplomatic corps. . Brazil's policy of arbitration in set- tlement of international disputes was praised by Secretary Stimson in his sddress. in which he pointed out that zince her beginning as a nation, Brazil has maintained the highest standards in the conduct of her international af- fairs. The principle of arbitration was incorporated by Brazil in her consti- tution. “The nineteenth and twentieth cen- turies bave witnessed a long series of arbitre?ions to which Brazil has been a party and which have enabled her satisfactorily to solve some of the most difficult and delicate questions con- fronting her people,” Secretary Stimson explained. Expresses Admiration. *“The pur which Brazil has pur- sued run p 1 with those for which the Pan-American Union was estab- lished, and it is, therefore, most fitting that on is occasion, we should not only assure to you the warmest possible welcome, but also avail ourselves of this opportunity to express our admira- tion for the great country which has selected vou for the highest office in the gift’ of the people,” Secretary Stimson said. He concluded his address of welcome with expression of the wish that the progress and prosperity of Brazil and Dr. Prestes’ career continue. The purposes of the Pan-American Tnion, which Brazil helped established and of which &he has been a powerful member since its inception, were out- lined by Dr. Tellez in an address at the session. Dr. Tellez likewise con- gratulated Dr. Prestes and Brazil. Describing his visit to the United Rtates as one of purely social and cordial nature, Dr. Prestes today de- clared he would not discuss the $90.000.- 000 loan recently effected by the State of Sao_ Paulo, Brazil, either here or during his prospective visit abroad. The President-elect held a press con- ference early to start his program of ac- tivities for the third day of his visit to the Nation's Capital. He said there was no “ulterior motive” in his visit THE EVENIN 'ALEXANDER LEGGE RENAMED IN SPITE Nomination of W. Cameron Forbes to Japan An- nounced. C. C. Teague Reappointed to Position on Farm Board Under Legge. By the Associated Press. The _controversy over the Federal | Farm Board’s activities in the grain | market was placed squarely before the| Senate today by the nomination of Alexander H. Legge to serve a second term as chairman of the board. Intensive criticism of the board policics has been expressed in business | circles, particularly by the United States' Chamber of Commerce. This| was based upon the contention that the board’s use of its $500.000,000 revolving fund in buying grain hampered compe- tition and was detrimental to private interests. Announcing Legge's _reappointment late yesterday, the White House also made public the nomination of C. C. Teague of California to serve a second term on the board. At the same time the nomination of W. Cameron Forbes of Boston as Ambassador to Japan was announced. Legge and Teague were originally appointed to scrve one-year terms, these ending at midnight tomorrow. The | confirmation of Legge was opposed a year ago by farm organizations and Senators from the Northwest, Expect Fight. A close watch was kept today for an indication of renewed opposition from | this course, as well as for signs of a contest based upon the ecriticism of gr dealers and other business men ith the Forbes appointment, the 1ast of the major diplomatic vacancies was filled. He succeeds Willlam Castle. who served at Tokio temporarily during the London Naval Conference and is soon to return to his post of Assistant Secretary of State. Forbes has been in and out of public life for more than 25 years. In 1904 he served with the Philippine Commis- sion and from 1909 to 1913 was governor general of the islands. In 1921 he was a member of the Woods-Forbes Com- mission, appointed by President Harding to investigate conditions in the Philip- pines. FORBES FROM M Appointee to Japanese Post Grandson “of Emerson.

Even if Congress should | pass the appropriation bili as an emer- | gency measure early next Deccmber at the next regular session, the effect would still be to kill most of the District’s con- struction work for a year, since mos of the street and other items cannot be undertaken during the Winter or freez- ing weather. About $2.000.000 worth of new street work would be postponed for a year. There are numerous contracts for’ this now waiting to be signed and should the bill be passed work could start in a week.

The fact that the new work would be postponed for a vear would result in an increased cost for maintenance. The fact that the continulng resolution probably will limit the maintenance outgo to one-twelfth of the 1930 appro- priation per month also would disturb the schedule, as most of the main- tenance work is done in Summer. Purchase of more land for the munici- pal center would have to be discon- tinued. The House bill carries $3,000.- 000 for this and the Senate bill $1,000,000. | Construction of the new Klingle Val- | ley bridge in the line of Connecticut | avenue, for which $250,000 is carried in the bili, could not begin nor could the $135.000 job of building a viaduct over the Baltimore & Ohio Rrailroad tracks at Monroe street northeast, provided in the House bill, or the $250,000 job of building a subway under the Baltimore & Ohio tracks at Fern street and Piney Branch road, carried in the Senate bill. Sewers Would Have to Wait. | Main and pipe sewers, costing $210. 000, and other sewers to be built under the assessment and permit system for $285,000 would have to wait for a year as would the §15,000 job continuing the | upper Anacostia interceptor sewer and th_ $50,000 job of continuing upper Potomac main interceptor.

Site Purchasing Balked. ‘This also would carry with it the purchase of numerous school sites for | new schools, additions to old schools, | playgrounds, and additions to old play- grounds. Continuing construction of permanent buildings in connection with the work- house and reformatory, for which $125,- 000 is set down in the bill, would be held up as well as a $150,000 item for commencing construction of build- ings and inclosing walls to keep prison- ers in a new proposed walled inclosure. Completing construction of the nurses’ home at Gallinger Muniéipal Hospital also would be halted. There is an item of $175,000 for this in the act. The same applies to the domestic service building at the District Training School, $130,000. The park purchase program will be tied up to the extent of $1,000,- 000, which is in the bill to be spent for acquiring public parks and playgrounds under the direction of - the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Apparently the failure of the bill would have some compensating features as the new higher water rates would not go into_effe is also would take with it, however, the Water Department's program for extending its distribution system calling for $285,000; installing new water meters, $95.000; fire hydrants, Earlier in the day Dr. Prestes placed wreaths on Washington's tomb at Mount Vernon and on the tomb of the Ungnown Soldier at Arlington, $25,000; replacing old mains, $100,000, and a 48 h water main from the Bryant stmT pumping station to Geor- gla avenue, 3110,000.

The authorization for an addition to the Post Office passed the House a few days ago, carrying $4.000.000. The Senate committee reduced the figure to $3,000,000. believing that would be suf- ficlent, but it is understood that if the House' takes the view that the larger amount i necessary, the Senate prob- ably will agree, The committee also indorsed the bill authorizing $400.000 to buy additional land adjoining the Bureau of Stand- ards, but with & proviso that Van Ness street be kept open as a thoroughfare This amendment meets the wishes of property owners. who told the commit- tee Van Ness street is a connecting link between Connecticut and Wisconsin avenues, The committee also reported out a bill providing that condemnation pro- ceedings in conncction with the exten- sion of the Capitol grounds to Union Station be carried out under the new condemnation law of 1929. ‘The committee also specified in the Bureau of Standards bill that no part of Tilden street or of Reno road should be closed.

He also took the world record for single-engined hydroplanes in 1929 He is president of the Wolverhamp- ton Engineering Society and holds ni merous orders of merit. Sir Henry, who actually had achieved his record-breaking objective with near- ly 100 mfles an hour before the dis- aster came, was taken from the water suffering from shock and the violent impact he suffered when he was thrown from the speeding craft. He was found to have sustained multiple injuries from which he failed to rally. He died between 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., several hours after the disaster. He was famous for his exploits as a speed racer, He was most famous for his record of 23136 miles an hour which he estab- lished at Daytona Beach, Fla. March 11, 1929, in his 12-cylinder automobile, Golden Arrow. It was stated that the accident was due to a step on the outside of the bows of the boat giving way under pressure against the water. The bottom of the boat was crushed in. 7 The missing mechanic, Halliwell, is 31 years old and married. He was a tester in the experimental section of the Rolls Royce works, where the speedboat's engines were built. 1250 of G JUNE 2115 SEEN FOR ADIOURNMENT Special Session of Senate to Consider Treaty to Follow. By the Assoclated Press With the end of the long tariff con- troversy in sight, congressional leaders are looking forward to an adjournment a week from tomorrow. The special session of the Senate for consideration of the London naval limi- tations treaty will be called immediately by President Hoover, but the weary Senators hope to join the House mem- bership in vacation by July 4. Rivers and harbors legislation gets first call in the Senate after the tariff bill is disposed of today. It probably will not be taken up for debate until Monday. Chairman Johnson of the commerce committee is hopeful of speedy action on the measure providing an outlay of more than $120,000,000 over a three-year period in waterways improvements. The House bill liberalizing veterans’ relief is second on the calendar of pre- ferred legislation, and it gets attention immediately after the rivers and har- bors contest is ended. ‘The attitude of President Hoover toward both the rivers and harbors and the veterans' relief measure is consid- ered doubtful, and there is a prospect that both propositions might be left in conference between the Senate and House until next session opens in De- cember. Already the Muscle Shoals dispute has been laid aside for settlement at the next session. The House with its bill for private leasing of this gigantic power property in Alabama and the Senate with its measure for Govern- | ment operation have failed to reach an understanding. The second deficiency appropriation bill carrying emergency funds to meet expenditures authorized by legi lation enacted at this scssion is on its way through Congre With its adoption there s little prospect of keeping Con- gress at work any longer. No move will be made toward ad- journment of this session until the de- ficiency bill is all the way through the legislative mill. That will probably be late next week. Last minute fights to force action on any of several controversial propositions are in sight to threaten adjournment, but the legislators are so worn out from almost 18 consecutive months of work that they are in a mood to brush every- thing aside for the vacation. The ap- proach of the biennial campaigns also is increasing the desire of many to get | back home. An effort will be made in the Senate to put through the House measure ap- plying Federal restrictions to motor bus transportation and there is an indica- tion of final action on this bill.

Many Get First Protection. Many of the products given protec- tion for the first time in years are of first importance. They include brick, cement, softwood lumber, long staple cotton, hides, leathers, boots and shoes, all now on the free list. The duty of $1 per thousand feet on lumber, how- ever, is only provisional. It would not become operative unless Canada or Mexico taxed American exports of lum- ber. Logs, now dutiable at $1 per thou- sand board feet, are among the 75 com- modities on which levies were wiped out completely. The major rate reductions are on automobiles, aluminum, plate glass and unset diamonds. Textiles of all kinds are given higher rates, as well as clothing of wool, cot- ton, silk, rayon and mixtures of any of the’ two. Pottery and chinaware manufac- turers, producers of zinc and manganese ores, felt and straw hat makers, and manufacturers of furnitures, hardwood flooring and hundreds of miscellaneous products are given increased protection. The administrative provisions of ex- isting law have been largely rewritten, although only in secondary features. The flexible provision, about which re- volved the greatest controversy, is al- most identical with the present law. ex- cept that it opens the way for the Tariff Commission to speed up its investiga- tions and rate determinations by giving it & broader basis upon which to work. Reports to Executive. However, the bill retains the differ- ence in cost of production formula as the basic_factor which the commission should follow in equalizing foreign and domestic competition. It limits the President to act on a rate found by the commission, with the change restricted to 50 per cent up or down, as at present. Under existing law, the commission only reports to the Executive, and he deter- mines the duty within the 50 per cent range. "The Tarift Commission 1s kept at six members, three of each political party, although’ salaries are increased from $9.000 to $11,000 & year. Within 90 days after enactment of the law the com- mission would be reorganized complete- ly, with the President having the right to retain any incumbent he desired, sub- ject to Senate confirmation.

By the Ascociated Press To avoid any charge of attempting to persecute Bishop James Cannon, Senator Walsh of Montana today aban- doned his proposal to seek specific Sen- ate authority for the lobby committee to investigate political activities. “I think such a resolution should be introduced.” he said, “but I shall not introduce it. The bishop has repeated- ly charged that his investigation was a Catholic and wet persecution. Since I am a humble member of the Catholic church. T would immediately be charged with attempting to persecute him. ‘Therefore, 1 shall take no further ac- tion.” The Montana Democrat, who is a prohibitionist, was voted down three to one yesterday in an attempt to have the lobby committee ask for Senate au- thority which would allow it to question the Southern Methodist bishop about his 1928 anti-Smith activities. Blaine'’s Move Is Beaten. ‘The committee also voted four to one yesterday against a proposal by Senator Blaine, Republican, Wisconsin, to cite Cannon's refusal to answer questions to the Senate for possible contempt pro- ceedings. Blaine declined to say plans any further action. The Wisconsin Senator contends however, that when the record of the lobby proceedings is laid before the Senate the Vice President is required by law to submit it to the district attorney to present to a grand jury. Vice President Curtis refused today to take any position in this regard. Chairman Caraway contends the law would not apply because the commit- tee had decided it had no right to ask the questions the bishop refused to answer. ‘Walsh expressed the opinion that no more witnesses would be questioned by the committee and that its hearings were ended. ‘The transcript of Bishop Cannon’s testimony, however, will be laid before the Senate and a variety of opinion is expressed as to what may be expected to follow. Senator Blaine believes the Vice Presi- dent is required by law to lay before the district attorney the fact that Cannon refused to answer questions and that the district attorney must in turn carry the case before a grand jury. Chairman Caraway disagrees. He contends Cannon was within his rights and bases this belief upon the com- whether he mittee’s ruling it had no power to in- | ac- vestigate the bishop’s political tivittes. i Meeting in executive session late yesterday the committee agreed not to Tequire answers from Cannon on his campaign against Alfred E. Smith and decided to submit the transcript of the bishop's testimony to the Senate. Two proposals for action against the dry leader were defeated. The first was a motion by Senator Walsh to ask the Senate for authority which would cover the Cannon case and the second a mo- tion by Blaine that the bishop be cited for contempt. The voting was three to two and four to one, Blaine and Walsh supporting the first motion and only Blaine the second. ‘This circumstance, however, was not regarded as the forerunner of any further activity on the part of the com- mittee. Bishop Cannon last night issued a statement saying the committee's ruling made it clear he “did not refuse to an- swer any questions which the commit- tee itself has judged to be pertinent to the investigation with which it is charged.” MRS. M’CORMICK DEFENDS EXPENSES Declares Money Spent Needed to Offset Patronage of Incumbent. By the Associated Press. ‘TOLEDO, Ohio, June 13.—Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, Republican candi- date for the Illinois Senatorship, ad- dressing a Republican women's mass meeting here yesterday, defended her Tecent primary election expenditures, and pointed out such use of money is necessary to offset the patronage ad- vantage of the incumbent. Mrs. McCormick said that her $252,- 570 expense paid by herself in the pri- mary, was to organize, circularize and canvass the State of Illinoils. She added: “Under present conditions one or more of the candidates in torial primaries must battle against all the influence of the sitting member and the power of his patronage. “Without organization and without funds he can hardly prevail against the opposition he will be called upon_to meet. The result will be that the office holder will become & permanent officer instead of an elective one.

Bishop James M. Cannon. ir, in an article in the current Christian Herald. reiterated his intention “to stay in politics,” and added that he had been warned that his reputation would be destroyed unless he ceased his fight cn the “Smith-Raskob-wet-Tammany-Ro- man Catholic domination of the Demo- cratic p: » “These same politicians.” he asserted, “have had detectives following him since 1928 in an effort to ‘frame’ him.” The Methodist bishop. who is chair- man of the Board of Temperance and Social Service of the church, admitted that “these various forms of service will inevitably call for political activ- ity.” Referring to his alleged perse- cutors he said: “They will literally | stop at nothing to destroy me, and this up would deal in the same way with v other man who might stand in the | way of the accomplishment of their | purpose to elect a wet President, Te- peal the eighteenth amendment and bring back the legalized lquor traffic. | I simply happen o be the target to- day.” Referring to his controversy with the Senate lobby committee. which yielded to his view Wednesday after he had apologized, Bishop Cannon writes: Blames Catholics and Wet. “At this writing the wet and Roman Ca‘holic _elements are demanding an investigation of my political activity in | connection with the anti-Smith move- ment of 1928, by the committees of the Senate appointed to investigate lobbying I have declined to recognize the rights of the lobbying committee to investigate the political activities of independent citizens. Indeed, 1 am of the opinion that it is an intolerable infringement upon the rights of independent citizens for Congress. whose business it is to enact legislation, to attempt to investi- gate or to control the political activi- ties of such independent citizens. | “Logically, it would brand as a lob- | byist_every voter who favors or opposes | any legislation. Holding this view I ex- | pect to continue to resist this effort to single out for special investigation the | | activities of the anti-Smith Democrats.” | |~ The bishop, who was exonerated of { charges of undue political activity in the 1928 presidential campaign by the | General Conference of the Methodist | Episcopal Church South, in session, at Dallas recently, quoted from resolutions | of the conference which’ said such ac- | tivities were the “inaldmable right of | every member, whether minister or lay- man. Affirms Right to Free Attitude. | “There is, it seems to me.” he con- | tinues, “no question as to what should be the attitude of a minister who fully | realizes that he is not simply a priest < but a prophet—a preacher of righteous | ness. “He must, whenever necessary, | 1ift up his voice in behalf of mercy and | love and peace, and against injustice. | | covetousness and selfishness in national | and international affairs, as well as in | the purely private relations of life. A | true minister must always be concerned | about any legislation which would Te- | tard or check the advancement of morals, health and happiness, and must | demand and vigorously support what- ever legislation may be necessary to | protect the young life and the home |1ife of the Nation from those who put | physical self-indulgence and monetary | gain above justice, virtue and the hap- piness of others.” Referring to his anti-Smith activities in Virginia, Bishop Cannon writes: Defends Campaign Activity. “Circumstances combined to compel me to take an unusually active part in the 1928 campaign, and for that reason I have been severely criticized by a cer- tain element in my own church, which has not agreed with my views or with the position which I have taken.
