Cox, Democratic presiden- tial nominee in 1920, when Franklin D. Rocsevelt was nominated for Vice President, yesterday was reported in re- | sponsible circles to be under serious con- | sideration fcr the post of Ambassador | to Germany. Cox is & warm personal friend of the i President. | Frederic M. Cackett of Loulsville, Ky., the present Ambessador at Berlin, sub- | mitted his resignation March 4. It has | not been accepted as yet, although Sackett indicated to the State Depart- ment that he would like to leave Berlin about March 20. Curley Also Menticned. James M. Curley of Boston, Mass., is also reported to be under consideration for an ambassodorial post, presumably | that at Rome. N'Ior:nln H. Davis has been discussed in connection with several embassies in Europe, but the impre:sion now in in~ formed circles is that his continuatiog as American delegate to the Disarma- ment Conference, which is threatened with failure because of the unsettled| conditions throughout Europe, makes it | unlikely he will be named an Ambas- sador in the near future. Davis also is & member of the Organization Com- mittee for the World Monetary and Economic Conference and probably will leave very shortly for Europe to carry on important work cn both disarma- ment and economic_problems. Although Judge Robert W. Bingham of Leuisville, Ky., has not been formally appointed Ambassador to London, his selection generally is believed to be as- sured. It now also seems likely that Jesse Isidor Straus of New York will receive the appointment to Paris and that Claude Bowers will replace Irwin Laughlin as Ambassador at Madrid. Gibson Expected to Stay. 1t generally is believed in official circles that Hugh Gibson will be re- tained as Ambassador at Brussels. He | is 8 forelgn service officer whose long | experience in dealing with disarmament problems is believed to make him pat ticularly valuable at this time. Gibs now is at Geneva, where Premier Ram- say MacDonald of Great Britain &nd | Sir John Simon, the British fcreign | secretary, are endeavoring to avert the grisis in the Disarmament Conference. Two other ambassadorial posts in E: rope, Warsaw and Istanbul, are filled | by plitical appointees who probably will be replaced in the near future. F. Lammot Belin is Ambassador at Wa and Charles H. Sherrill at Istanbul. —_— BAKER FUNERAL HELD Charles County Man Is Buried From Cross Roads Church. Special Dispatch to The Star. LA PLATA, Md, March 11.—The| funeral of Capt. William T.

Business Better Than Usual The General Air Condi- tioning Company, 1509 Con- necticut Avenue, reports that sales during past week were best so far this year. This firm distributes the revolutionizing General Elec- tic Oil Furnace and Air Con- ditioners. The reason for this exceptional business has been a desire to reduce fuel costs to a minimum. Many of these furnaces were installed last Fall and Winter and every owner has reported startling reductions in heating costs. Some users are saving from $30.00 to $50.00 per month and at the same time, have done away with coal, dirt, ashes, etc. This furnace has no oily odors, makes no noise and is absolutely safe. 1t is expected that Wash- 1n§t.on Renovizing Campai, will bring still further sales during the coming week. JAMES MEASURE TO BOOST M. COX. Fruit Growers Protest Bill Now Pending in West Virginia Legislature. Special Dispatch to The Sta MARTINSBURG, W. Va. March 11. —Pruit growers, acting through the ‘West Virginia Horticulture Society here, yesterday authorized a protest against a Measure pending in the West Virginia Legislature, which would, they are con- vinced, increase heavily the license charges on motor trucks of farmers and orchardists. Protests were sent legis- lators from the Eastern Panhandie countles. The objectionable bill provides a change in license issue date from Jan- uary 1 to July 1. Under the present system they pointed out they can take out three-%uarwr year or half-year li- censes April 1 or July 1 to cover the periods when trucks are most needed, which would not be possible if the year were made to start July 1. They also ask as an alternative in their protests that provision be made,.if the bill is passed, for refund on licenses turned in by December 31 or April 1. They protested also against a proposal to increase the costs of truck licenses except on smallest trucks. They made 2 plea for a reduction rather than in- crease in the license schedule.
