HOOVER CPROSTION T0 BOVOIT SEEN President Declared Unrecep- tive to Idea of Interfer- ence In Far East. By the Associated Press. Close advisers of President Hoover say he will not enlist in the movement for an economic boycott against Japan. Senate leaders are definitely against taking such a step to bring pressure for peace in China. Joining himself to previous statements by others, Senator the Republican leader, last night expressed himself forcefully on_the subject “I want to keep out of the Far East- ern dispute and above all I want us 10 | keep our boys at home, But even apart from Senate senti- ment, Mr. Hoover is described as un- receptive to the idea, advanced in a pe- tition initiated by such men as Presi- dent Lowell of Harvard and Newton D. Baker. Senate ratification would be required | for the President to commit this Gov- | ernment in a move with the League of Nations to a boycott. The Senate de- per, Senator Frederic Walcott, Repre- sentative and Mrs. Donald Partridge, Representative and Mrs. Richard Al- drich, Representative and Mrs. Edward Goss, Representative and Mrs. Rogers, Representative and Mrs, Morgan San- ders, Representative and Mrs, Samuel Kendall and Representative and Mrs. Robert G. Houston, Disguise Is Difficult. The custom of printing and distribut- ing descriptions of criminals who are desired by the Police Department, is still followed but it is realized that these are of little value. Because many fugutives nowadays resort to disguises and they cannot easily be picked out from police circulars which adorn the walls of out-of-town police stations. ‘The police no longer rely on descrip- tions of fugitives on these circulars. If the fugitive is described as red- beaded, they know that he may have dyed his hair brown or black, and they depend on confidential information to bring him to book. When Vincent Coll, New York gang leader, was taken into custody it was discovered he had dyed his hair black, cultivated a mustache and put on horn- rimmed spectacles. Despite the dis- guise which he had effected detectives Tecognized him the moment they set eyes on him. By Motor Across Canada. The building of a road about the Big Bend of the Columbia River, be- tween Golden and Revelstoke, British Columbia, & total distance of 192 miles, means much to motor travel in Canada. The new highway, on which construc- tion has been well advanced, will, when completed, supply the last link in the Western half of the p: d Trans- Canada Highway, estab! a direct artery of communication between the prairies and the coast and opening & through rosd from Winnipeg. to Van- arc of the way cover. For the greater b the road will skirt the Columbla River, affording magnificent views of the snow-capped heights of the Selkirk Range. Silent Guides of Mountains. ‘With the exception of the more in=- Bccessible parts of the Tatra Moun- tains in Czechoslovakia, there is no need in Summer to employ guides when on climbing expeditions. This does not mean that it is easy to ascend the giant mountains, but that everywhere where tourists are likely to go, there are ever present silent and sure guides always at hand to direct the hiker to the sum- mit or lake that he seeks.

Sleaning in a coffin every night is the fife for Thomas Thompson. He has been doing so for some time and he dectares nothing could change his mode of living. He is 75 years old, a hermit, and his cabin in the wood near Durham, England, contains two chairs, a small table and the coffin. Thomas has his old-age pension, a Boer war pension, his dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. Food he catches in the woods. Recently he heard something about there being & depression, but it has not bothered him.

Their social engagements are suffering. “We were out the other evening" they said, “and had to ask the boys we were with to take us back to our feated ratification of American ad- herence to the League. This is reason to believe that Mr. Hoover has consulted with Senate lead- | ers on the boycott question. There is a conviction on Capitol Hill that the administration will keep clear of the League on the boycott issue and also refrain from its initiation by the United States alpne. Senator Watson declared vigorous op- position tonight to the boycott proposals as new petitions signed by 157 college | professors, economists and specialists in international relations were sent to| the White House. “I am vigorously opposed,” sald Wat- son, “to entering into an economic boy- cott against Jopan, either alone or with the League of Nations. The treaty of Versailles, including the League cove- nant, provides for an economic boy- cott against aggressor nations. If the members of the League want to invoke that it is their business. I want us to keep out of Far East dispute and above all I want us to keep our boys at home.” The American Committee on the Far East Crisis in announcing the new peti- tions for a boycott stated that 47 col- leges and universities in 17 States are represented in the list of- signatures sent to the President. e Fish Shipped by Airplane.

As a result of the discoveries in | the vicinity of Trajan's Forum, Corado Ricco, director of excavations, has | formulated the conclusion that earth- | quakes, internal strife, sheer careless- | ness and indifference wrought far more destruction in ancient Rome than did | the barbarians, One of the latest discoveries is a | long colonnade of heavy pillars all toppled, leaning against each other like trees bent by a strong wind. Their de- struction was not due to human van- dals, but was traced to an earthquake in 801, when the city was under the papal rule of Pope Leo IIL. As the excavations have revealed increasing evidence that the barbarians were maligned, the director’s work has in- tensified their study of the old his- torical records and they have been able to demonstrate that many buildings and temples supposedly destroyed in the “sack” of the city, were standing long after the last barbarian departed. Destruction Question. Much of the bad name of the bar- | barians may be due to the prejudiced | reporting by the early Christians, who, as was amply demonstrated in the re- | ports of persecutions under the empire, never let accuracy stand in the way | of giving their enemies a bad name. | Even without support from the most | unprejudiced records to be found the archeologlists in charge of the present | work have become convinced by the massive size of the structures uncovered that the destruction of buildings byl the invading armies was out of the question. According to- Ricco, it takes a week THE NEW C1ICIRS 1216-1220 F Street Extra!— Wednesday—30 Furred Winter Coats Earlier Prices, $39.50 1o $59.50 | gone to Tr with the best modern machinery to pull down any one of the columns of the old forums. Unless the barbarians who participated in the various conguests of the city had an unusual amount of time to waste it is improbable they remained on the scene long enough to carry out the destruction for which they were later blamed. Their activities were lim- ited to pillage and loot. The findings of the present excava- tors do not broach an entirely new theory. Historians frequently asserted that the barbarians were maligned and that about the worst destruction of property which could be laid to them was the burning of the home of Salus- tio. Salustio lived near the gate by which the barbarians entered the ruins which now may be seen converted into a small park below the level of the present_street ne Romans have s had & sus- picion that the barbarians were less responsible for the destruction of the ancient city than the carelessness of the later rules Hence the local prov- erb: _“But the barbarians did not do the Barberini will do,” referred to the destructiveness of the papal rulers. In- deed, the indifference of a famous Pope to the fate of the city was responsible for one of the worst sacks the city ever endured.
