Government Minimizes Revolutionary Movement in Mine Town. LA PAZ, Bolitia, June 26 (M.—A government communique, published to- day, gave notice of a revolutionary movement at Oruro where the so-called Camacho Regiment had taken control of the town. The communique mini- mized importance of the disturbance. The statement follows: “Wednesday morning at 8:20 am., the officials, Jose Serrano. Julio Fer- nandez, Desiderio Rivero, Victor Acosta and Arturo Vergara, unexpectedly took out the Camacho Regiment at Oruro and teok charge of the plaza there.

Oruro was a city of 16,500 people in 1900, with important tin mines nearby. It is located south of La Paz, actual capital of the country and northwest of Sucre, nominal capital, It is sit- uated on the railway line from La Paz to Antofagasta, Chilean city. Last week loyal troops defeated a movement headed by the radical leader, Roberto Hinojosa, who had captured the town of Villazon on the Argentine border. The revolutionaries were dis. persed. At the time it was said out- side Bolivia that other cities were ald- ing the movement. This was denied from La Paz. Simon Patino, Bolivian Minister at Paris, resigned Tuesday in protest, it was said, at efforts of Hernando Siles, who recently was President of Bolivia, to establish himself as the country's Chief Executive for another four years. Senor Patino charged that this was in violation of the Bolivian constitution. HOOVER EULOGIES JAMES BUCHANAN AT UNVEILING CEREMONIES (Continued From First Page.) but they also help to fix in our minds the orderly march of our life as a Nation. “James Buchanan, whom we honor here today, occupied the presidency at a moment when no human power could have stayed the inexorabie advance of a at national conflict. The black s of dissension had gathered over the country when he entcred upon his duties. The thunderbolts of war were withheld until he left the scene, but throughout his administration the sky was clouded with the ominous threaten- ings of storm. “He had shared in the notable efforts @ solve the problem of slavery by compromise. His partners in these ef- forts were the ablest and most pene- trating minds of his day, and it was largely by chance that his presidency coincided with the ultimate failure of these hopes. He was the last outstand- ing figure surviving of one of the most remarkable groups of men in our his- tory, and it was his fate to represent them at the moment when they must yield to younger men representing a more aggressive conception of the Na- tion’s duty. He played his part with a dignity and courage that only row are receiving the recognition they de- serve. “Mr. Buchanan served his country during a long and active life—as a Senator of Rromlnence and s a diplo- mat. His first great diplomstic suc- cess was in negotiating our first com- mercial treaty with Russia. sador to London. As Secretary of State under President Polk, he skm-! fully guided our position with respect | to the Oregon boundary and settled | this delicate question advantageously and peacefully. Both as negotiator | while Ambassador and as director of policies while Secretary of Stats, Mr. Buchanan established for himself one of the most eminent reputations in these fields in all our history. “His eareer was rich in achievements deserving the gratitude of his country But its most appealing side should also be mentioned here. A bachelor, and engrossed in public and private busi ness, he found time to rear and edu- cate an orphaned niece in a manner that would have done credit to any father. His wise and affectionate let. ters to Harriet Lane are a charming addition to American literature, and | are still to be read with pleasure. It is | due to Miss Lane's devoted appreciation of his kindness that this statue has been erected, for she left provision for | it in her will. This is, therefore, an oc- casion not only honoring a great patriot but also testifying to a real filial affec~ tion. “I1 now dedicate the statue of James Buchanan, fifteenth President of the United States, to the people of this country, for a memorial of his services as a man and as a Chief Officer of Government.” ‘The Buchanan Monument, one of the few erected to the Chief Executives in the National Capital, shows the fig- ure of Pennsylvania’s only President seated in an armchair against a marble facade.

AMERICANS TAKE DOUBLES MATCHES Mrs. Moody and Miss Ryan Become Favorites to Win Title. By the Assoclated Press. WIMBLEDON, England, June 26— Continuing their parade toward the English tennis champlonships, the Americans today turned to the doubles competition with as impressive a show- ing as marked the invaders' appearance in the early rounds of the singles. The all-America combinations of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody and Miss Elizabeth Ryan, George Lott and Johnny Doeg and Berkley Bell and Gregory Mangin advanced through the first round with little difficulty. Big Bill Tilden joined the Americans' vic- torfous march paired with H. Timmer, the Holland star. Mrs, Moody and Miss Ryan estab- lished themselves as the favorites to win thé women's doubles title, when they swept through their match with Mrs. V. Burr and Miss G. N. Thomp- son of England without losing a game. Bell and Mangin eliminated Cou von Salm Hoogstraaten of Austria and Burr of England, 7—5, 6—4, 6—4. Tilden and Timmer defeated R. Deterding and J. R. Reddall of Eng- land, 6—4, 8—6, 6—2. Miss Ryan Wins Singles, Miss Ryan scored a brilliant triumph when she defeated Mlle. Josant Sigart, Belgium's No. 1 ranking player, who eliminated Miss Edith Cross of San Francisco. Miss Helen Jacobs also ad- vanced in the singles play, defeating Miss H. Stanley of England with ease. At no time during her match with Mile. Sigart was Miss Ryan in danger. The veteran American player sped all over the court to handle practically everything the Belgium star had in her repertoire- of strokes. Miss Ryan, who was not eligible for the Wightman Cup team because of her long residence in England, fell back on her famous chop stroke whenever a point was needed. Miss Greef Is Beaten. Miss Mary Greef, youthful Kansas City tennis sensation, found the ex- perienced game of Miss S.

BROTHERHOOD BANK IN CINCINNATI CLOSES Notice Signed by National Exam iner Is Posted on Door of Institution. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 26.—The Brotherhood of Railway Clerks Nation- al Bank failed to open for business to- day. First information that the bank would not open came from a notice posted on the institution's door saying the bank was closed. The notice was signed by a national bank examiner. William Taylor, Cleveland, Federal bank examiner, recently completed an audit of the brotherhood bank, and on last Monday two changes were made in the official personnel of the bank, short- ly after directors said’ the institution was in sound condition. Michael G. Heintz was named vice president suc- ceeding Lyman Norris, resigned, and ‘William L. Luebbe, was appointed as- sistant cashier in place of Harry Rosen- blum, who also resigmed. Deposits in the bank were said to total $4,.800,000, and after the change in officials was made Monday the board of directors said depositors withdrew over $1,000,000. The unusually heavy withdrawal was the reason given by the directors for closing the bank. They said they voted to shut down the bank and place the assets in the hands of the controller of currency for liquidation. B ASKING CONTINUING RESOLUTION ACTION private property in Washington, as one of the factors to bs considered in ar- riving at the Federal contribution. Sen- ator Jones has emphasized that he does not regard the value of the land as the only basis for determining the ap- portionment, but thinks it would be report on the property valuation.

At the present time the annual budget in- cludes the language providing for the $9.000,000 lump sum. Senator Bingham said that when the conferees adjourned Thursday, the House members were going back to have a meeting of their appropriations com- mittee, and his understanding was that he would hear from them later as to arrangements for a further confer- ence. The Senator said this morning he had not received any word. Senator Bingham said the Senate conferees feel they were extremely reasonable in offer- ing at the last meeting to come down from the Senate’s re of $12.000,000 to a compromise of $10,000,000. with provision for a further study of the question later, - 2ea Air Line Bankrupt.

THE EVE LINGLE DEPOSITED §1,000 EACH WEEK Banker Tells of Account of Reporter—Source of Funds Unknown. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 26.—The source of “Jake” Lingle's regular bank de- posits, averaging, his banker said, more than $1,000 a week, has become a matter of first importance to the authorities investigating his murder. Willlam N. Kline, president of the Lake Shore Trust & Savings Bank, disclosed to investigators for the State's attorney yesterday that the slain Tribune reporter, although receiving | only a modest salary as a newspaper man, made six to eight deposits each month of sums ranging from $500 to | $800. Such deposits always were in | cash and were exclusive of check de- posits. i Earlier in the day Police Capt. Wil-| liam Russell, until recently commis- | sioner of ~Shicago police, had told of a stock buying partnership that existed | between Lingle and himself. Friends of the reporter had held that stock market profits accounted for the wealth Lingle was presumed to poisess. Paper Profits $100,000. Capt. Russell said that at one time the paper profits of his joint venture with Lingle amounted to $100,000, but that the October market crash swept it all away. The banker, however, told the investigators that the large cash deposits were continued by Lingle after the market crash. The question the State's attorney now seeks to answer is: Where did Lingle get the money deposited following the market collapse, and where bas it gone? | At the time of Lingle'’s murder, June 9, his bank balance was between $2,400 and $2,700, the banker said. Capt. Russell told Patrick Roche, special investigator for the State's at- torney, that Lingle and he started | speculating with a pool of about $10,000. He said he entered the arrangement because of his long friendship with the reporter. He added that this was the only financial dealing he had with Lingle; and he denied that either Lingle or himself ever had withdrawn any of the money. Plan Grand Jury Probe. A conference between leaders of the Lingle inquiry yesterday was followed | by a report that the grand jury investi- gation of the murder would be started at once. There has been delay due to the desire of the State’s attorney to gather as much evidence as possible so that indictments may be obtained. Commenting upon the Lingle inves- tigation, State's Attorney John A. Swanson said: “It appears from our investigation | that Lingle traded rather extensively | in stocks, and was able to do this be- cause of large paper profits which ac- | cumulated to his credit during the time the market was rising. The investiga- tion of Lingle's stock transactions and bank accounts will be completed within a few days.” A development regarded as significant in the crime was the conviction yesterday on a charge of gun toting of | Jack (Machine Gun Jack) McGurn, one of the “public enemies” listed by the crime commission. A year in jail and a $300 fine may be imposed as punishment. Anthony (Red) Kissane, another well known gangster, was con- victed on the same charge earlier this week.

It is not unlikely that we will be criticized, no matter what portrait we select. How- ever, the committee, I am sure, will devote its very best efforts to select- ing the picture which is the best ke~ ness of George Washington at some important period in his life. t must not be forgotten that many portraits of Washington were painted and drawn during about 40 years and that naturally they do not look the same. I do not know how long it will take the committee to reach a conclu- sion. There is no great hurry.” Those Who Will Judge.

BATILE MAY GIVE CHINA NEW REGINE Nationalists Believed Staking All on Desperate Attack on Rebels. By the Associated Press. battle between Nationalist and rebel northern alliance armies, which may be the decisive engagement of the present Chinese civil war, was reported in prog- ress today along the Haichow-Tung- kwan Railway in Honan Province. Reports from foreign circles in the war zone said Chiang Kai-Shek, Na- tionalist president-general, had thrown 100,000 men into the fight, hoping to capture Kaifeng, rebel dominated capi- tal of Honan. This force was believed to constitute the major portion of the Nationalists’ military power. The outcome is expected to indicate whether the Nationalists have the power to crush the northern alliance. Chiang apparently believes if Kaifeng falls to the Nationalists, the power of the northern alliance south of the Yel- low River will be crushed. All available airplanes and artillery were brought into action in the attempt to blast the northerners out of Honan. The foreign advices said although the Nationalists were making a superb thrust against the rebels the latter had not yet shown any indication of de- feat. Instead they were pouring in re- inforcements in a move to take the offensive. Tsinanfu Taken Ov Northern Army Occupies City in Shan- tung Province.

A fifth Hunter, Irene, hurried from her school teaching in Southern Illinois to supervise the cuisine department. She sees that the “finest brothers in the world” have what they want to eat, and that piping hot, or lcy cold, as they desire. A sixth Hunter, mother of the quin- tet, has followed the flight's progress at her farm near Sparta. She will be a Sky Harbor “from Saturday on,” ob- served Irene. Failure? Well, the Hunters will go back to the mines, to the little farm, to the airmail, to restore family funds and pay off debts incurred. John and Ken- neth are mail pilots. Walter has an interest in a coal mine near Sparta. Col. Lindbergh was an aviation in- spiration to the Hunters because he was forced down near their place one dark night. He spent the night at the Hunter home. Lindbergh then was flying the Chicago-St. Louis airmail. ‘The boys scraped $2,000 together and bought a plane. John took three hours of lessons and flew the ‘“crate” to Sparta. The three others soon learned to fly.

Last year John and Kenneth, known as the Chicago “mystery flyers,” tried to break the endurance record. Fog pre- vented a refueling effort during the early morning hours and the airmen were forced down. Endurance flying is not a sport for timid spenders. Walter estimated the cost at $635 a day.

In another allegation, the petition charges that the radio corporation and its affiliated companies required a mini- mum annual royalty from licensees to limit unlawfully the number of persons engaged in the.business and rhat, in its effort further to control the business, it permitted the complaining company to manufacture receiving apparatus for home use only and did not permit tre sale of recelving sets for use in the communication field for toll o* in the field for public use, as to schools, hotels, churches or other public institutions. The company avers it was compclled, in order to secure a market, to accepé the unlawful dictation, to pay $1€0,000 for a license, $80,708 as damages for alleged infringements of patents and ‘‘an onerous, burdensome and co.fisca- tory royalty.” This royalty, the petition states, was 7). per cent of the price of all radio apparatus sold by it and a minimum annual royalty of $100,000.” Senator McKellar, Tennessee, who last night attacked the London Naval Treaty in reply to a recent radio speech by Senator Reed, Pennsylvania, favor- ing it. RESERVATIONS MAY SLOW TREATY VOTE Final Unreserved Approval; Expected by Administra- tion Leaders. By the Associated Press. Reservations in preparation by op- ponents of the London naval treaty, threatened, today, to prolong the Sen- ate's contest over ratification of the pact. Administration spokesmen continued confident the arms ‘limitation agree- ment would, eventually, be given un- reserved approval, but foresaw a pro- tracted, bitter controversy. The reservations under preparation would include the following: A declaration that the treaty in- volves no permanent surrender of the previously clalmed right of the United States to bulld as it pleases; An assertion that under the so-called ‘“escape clause” America can build whatever type of ship it desires in the event of England or Japan building be- yond the treaty limits because of the construction programs of nations not signatory to the pact; A statement that under the replace- ment clauses Great Britain can replace her 6-inch-gun cruisers with ships of that category. The first reservation is an outgrowth of the controversy ever the comparative value of 6-inch and 8-inch gun ships. Opponents of the treaty, wicluding nu- merous high-ranking naval officers, have contended the pact involves & de- parture from accepted American con- struction policy in its curtallment of the construction of big cruisers, ‘With respect to the second reserva- tion, foes of the pact assert that if Great Britain builds beyond the treaty figures under the escape c'ause, *mer- ica can build only in *he same catego- ries as the new British vessels. An exchange of notes already has taken place on the subject of the third reservation. In this it was agreed that replacement must be in the same cate- gory as the ships replaced. President Hoover is standing firm upon his announced intention of cali- ing a special session of the Senate im- mediately upont adjournment to take up the treaty. This was learned after a petition bearing the names of 24 Sen- ators and asking that the treaty debate be rgoetmmd until Fall had been sent to him. The pact was severely criticized last night in a radio address by Senator Mc- Kellar, Democrat, Tennessee. He said it fails to give America parity with Great Britain and will not stop com- prtitive building. HOUSE GROUP VOTES $30,000,000 FUND FOR SHIP MODERNIZATION (Continued From First Page) .

The London naval treaty fails to bring parity to the American naval fleet, ' and fails to stop the race of naval armaments, Senator McKellar, Demo« crat, of Tenncssee, declared in a radio address last night in a reply to a speech delivered over the air recently by Sena- tor Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania, Senator McKellar insisted that under :.llu dnxm;nen;.

All of our experts agree that we cannot de- fend the Philippine Islands on the basis of this treaty. “It prevents America from defending the greater part of our foreign trade on the high seas. Yet it leaves Great Britain the power to protect her com- merce practically everywhere. It also gives to Great Britain the power to put economic pressure on America equiva- lent to business ruin.

And yet it leaves to Great Britain the power to assure freedom of seas for her- self.

I think it wholly improbable that a bomb dropped along- ' side would destroy a battleship,” Adams replied. Secretary Adams added that “every admiralty in the world disagrees with the statement that submarines, destroy- ers and aircraft will play the most important part in the next war” The committee was stirred by the disclosure during the hearing that a confidential file in the Navy Depart- ment contains plans for a “League of Nations Army and y," under which pmros 1 the world wers would pool their armaments and form an interna- tional military force. Representative McClintic read to the committee a letter he received recently from Acting Secretary of the Navy Jahncke stating that a plan for such a ‘“treaty fieet” was worked out and is in the Navy's secret files, Urges New Bombing Tests. Representative McClintic suggested that all battleships to be scrapped un- der the London treaty be taken to the Virginia Capes and used in bombing tests. Chairman Britten agreed this would be “a good idea.” Representative Vinson of Georgia, commenting on Secretary Adams’ state- ment that the battleship repairs were needed to give the United Stats parity with Great Britain, remarked that he was glad the Secretary had made this statement, as the country at large was under the impression that the London treaty afforded equality. “1 see now, however, that it will take ‘3::&000.000 to give us equality,” Vinson said. Secretary Adams explained that the London Conference understood that re. pairs and adjustments would be neces- nll’yt to bring about the contemplated parif “I am of the opinion,” Adams said, “that this bill should be enacted at once. Our fleet is crippled because of its lack of modern appliances in these hips. The three ships mentioned in the bill are incapable of operating at long range because of this lack of modernization.” Secretary Adams explained that “blisters” are essential in all ships to- day. The “blisters” are steel “bulges” attached to the hull of the ships as an extra protection against torpedo and other under-water attacks. The mod- ernization ?marlm. he said, should go on irrespective of the London treaty.

By the Associated Press, A matter of just $3 is holding up the next step in the long controversy over the great Buolder Dam. On June 23, Fred T. Colter of Phoe- nix, Ariz., filed suit here to enjoin Sec- retary Wilbur, the City of Los Angeles and the Metropolitan Water District of California from proceeding with their contracts for power and water division at the dam. But it costs a dollar to serve a sum- mons on each defendant, and the plain- tiff must pay it. The court clerk has written Colter asking for $3. F. W. Greer, representing Imperial Valley interests, offered today to put up the fee, but the clerk said only Colter could pay legally. Greer said he was acting as an individual, and made his offer because California was anxious to get the sult disposed of. FLYER'S PARENTS HAPPY OVER SUCCESSFUL TRIP B the Associated Press. SYDNEY, New South Wales, June 26. —Joy, relief and pride today were the portion of the parents of Capt. Charles Kingsford-Smith, transatlantic fiyer. Congratulations from all over the country poured in upon the couple, the father told the Associated Press. “It is a great and glorious triumph for our boy and a relief to know that he is safely across. Although we had complete confidence in him, we could not help feeling suspens ‘The family expressed the hope that Kingsford-Smith would return to Aus- tralia by steamship. Unless the work is started now, he said, the construction staffs at the yards will be broken up and it will cost much more later to reorganize them. Secretary Adams advocated going ahead with the modernization work regardless of the possibility of further conferences on naval reduction. He described the possibility of & new treaty to reduce battleships to a strength of 10, as suggested by Mr., McClintic, as “utterly remote.” He said 1f the present London treaty is ratified there will be no need for an- other conference, altho such a pare | ley i authorized next year under termw of the Washington naval treaty. closing days of Congress, when it is difficult to get such important bills acted upon, Secretary Adams pointed out that there had been a delay during the London conference and that indus- trial conditions at the navy yards did not me apparent until recently. ©Only two members of the 17 members of the committee present voted against reporting the bill favorably.
