. Judges Should Know Prison
Conditions, Social Service
Speaker Says.
By th* Awociited Pres*.
BOSTON. June 11.—A suggestion
thst "It would have been a most useful
thing If the Governor of Ohio, on his
Inauguration night, might have spent
Ui first month as governor in the pen
\ntiary at Columbus” was made by
J:. Charles N. Lathrop, D. D., of New
tork. secretary of the social service
department of the Episcopal Church,
speaking at the national social service
conference of the church in Boston
yesterday.
He deplored the prison "holocaust” in
Which hundreds died.
Discussing the problem of dealing
with the penal systems of the country,
Dr. Lathrop continued:
c “It would be helpful If it were the
* obligation of every judge on the bench
first to be an inmate of the peniten
' tiary to which he sends his convicted
felons. I wish we might have the
V Judges dealing with criminal cases
clapped into prison for a couple of
weeks before they are qualified to take
their places on the bench, that they
might know intimately the conditions of
our penal institutions and our penal
systems.”
Denies Crime Menace.
Dr. Lathrop asked every department
of Christian social service in every dio
cese in the country to get in touch with
the Jail situation.
"Undoubtedly,” he said, "we are go
; ln * to have many new jails built in
the near future In our country and I
look forward with a shudder when I
realize that they are going to be built
In the same old way.”
Dr. Lathrop strongly urged exten
sion of the system of probation. “There
is • very common idea that there is
- an enormous increase in crime in our
* country," he remarked, “that indeed
j w» are ia danger of being submerged by
-a great crime wave. There is no proper
- basis for any such conclusion. Crime
has not increased out of proportion to
the increase of the population. Some
- kinds of crime have very markedly
- decreased. There is probably a decrease
in juvenile crime, although people need
j to remember that crime has always
been in large part Juvenile. It is to
• large degree the anti-social pranks
and vicious, wild adventures of young
men.”
- He said, however, that the organized
activity of the wholesale bootleggers
“is a new and serious menace” and that
the repeating pistol and the automobile
had helped increase the crime of rob
bery.
Says Conditions Cause Outbreaks.
Sending a man to prison under con
ditions often prevailing today is like
sending a patient to a hospital for
treatment without knowing what his
- illness is. Miss Ruth E. Collins, super
visor of social service, bureau of pris
ons, of the Department of Justice in
Washington, told the conference of the
International Association of Police
women.
The Federal Prison Bureau, she said,
has inaugurated a system of individual
atudy of prisoners, to evolve the treat
ment for each offender that will put
him back on his feet socially.
Outbreaks in Federal, State and city
prisons during the last two years were
attributed, not to increasing crime and
increasing viciousness of inmates, but
to the failure of society to develop wise
and considerate treatment of offenders,
in an address by Dr. Hastings H. Hart,
consultant in delinquency and penology
of the Russell Sage Foundation, New
York.
REED DECLINES
% JO GIVE DECISION
w ON TARIFF MEASURE
(Continued From First Page.)
' one of the leaders of the Republican-
Progressive and Democratic coalition in
the Senate, said today he thought the
opponents of the bill might be able to
defeat the conference report as it now
stands.
“That does not necessarily mean the
final defeat of the tariff bill," said
Senator Norris. “If the conference re
port is rejected and the bill sent back
to conference again, it may be possible
for the supporters of the measure to
grant increases in rates which will
satisfy enough Senators and insure a
final adoption of the new report.”
Should the bill be sent back to con
ference, plans for an early adjourn
ment of the present session of Con
gress would receive a jolt*
Having obtained an agreement to vote
on the tariff bill conference report Fri
day at 2 pm., supporters of the meas
ure were feverishly trying today to
assure enough votes to adopt the report.
La Follette Attacks Report.
On the floor of the Senate Senator
Le Follette of Wisconsin delivered a
scathing attack on the conference
report.
"I contend that the pending bill is a
complete betrayal of President Hoover s
pledge, solemnly given to the American
people throughout the 1928 campaign,
that he would favor a ‘limited revision’
of the tariff as a means toward giving
agriculture equality with industry,” said
Senator La Follette.
Senator La Follette insisted that the
pending bill places new burdens upon
the farmer, which Increase the disparity
against him as compared with industry.
“It leaves the farmer without hope of
sharing in any substantial benefits of
the protective system,” continued Sen
ator La Follette. I propose to show
further that the pending bill, in its
general upward revision of the Ford
ney-McCumber act and in the burdens
It lays upon business and industry on
the consumer, goes far beyond the re
vision of the Dlngley act, consummated
In 1909, and in the Payne-Aldrich act,
under the Old Guard leadership of
Senators Aldrich, Crane, Penrose and
Bmoot.”
Places Bardens on Farmers.
Senator La Follette discussed the
pates of the pending bill in detail and
Insisted that Instead of giving the
farmer equality with industry under the
tariff, it placed added burdens on the
farmer.
“It is absurd,” continued Senator La
Follette, "to speak of this bill as a ben
efit to agriculture when we realize that
10 billion dollars’ worth of agricultural
commidities which are on an export
basis will not derive one nickel of ben
efit from the rates carried in this
bill; that only a partial and probably
temporary benefit from these paper
rates will accrue to the producers of
another three billion dollars’ worth of
commodities, and that the full benefit
of the new duties will reach only the
producers of some 368 million dollars'
worth of our agricultural production.
"Nothing will go to the grain grow
' era except a few who grow high-pro
tein wheat; nothing will go to the short
staple cotton producers or to the rais
ers of hogs. The rates on these com
modities are of no importance what
soever.”
Senator LaFollette said that for the
first time In history the Republican
party is proposed to revise the tariff
upward in the face of opposition from
a substantial element of the industrial
and business leaders of the country.
He said that he did not share the hope
of some who have predicted that the
President will veto the bill if it is sent
to him.
* "Throughout the consideration of this
bill in the Senate.” said Senator La-
Bollette, “the President has not once,
CONFER ON ARBORETUM PLANS
Arthur A. Shurtleff (left). president of the American Society of Landscape
Architects, and Dr. Frederick V. Coville (right), acting director of the National
Arboretum, who studied today the proposed development of the arboretum.
ARBORETUM PLANS
CARRIED FORWARD
Shurtleff, Boston Landscape
Architect, Confers With
Dr. Coville.
Plans for the national arboretum went
forward today when Arthur A. Bhur- I
tlefT of Boston, president of the Ameri
can Society of Landscape Architects,
came to Washington to confer with Dr.
Frederic K. V. Coville of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who is acting di
rector of the arboretum.
Mr. Shurtleff and Dr. Coville spent
some time in going over proposed plans
for development of the Mount Hamilton
tract, much of which already has been
purchased for the arboretum.
The American Society of Landscape
Architect’s w r as invited by the Depart
ment of Agriculture to co-operate in
making plans for the arboretum, Dr.
Coville explained. The society has been
represented mostly by its president, who
has taken a personal interest in the
arboretum, Dr. Coville said, and has
also received some assistance from a
committee of the society.
This committee consists of A. F.
Brinckerhoff, New York City; Markley
Stevenson. Philadelphia; T. G. Phillips,
Detroit; George D. Hull, Los Angeles,
Calif.; O. G. Schaffer, Urbana. 111., and
Earl S. Draper, Charlotte, N. C.
The arboretum, with its wide variety
of trees and plants, will be essentially a
“scientific research institution.” Dr. Co
ville explained, but it also will provide
a beautiful park where the American
people generally, as well as scientists
from all parts of the world, may come
to enjoy the unusual living exhibits.
Dr. Coville was especially appreciative
of the services of Mr. Shurtleff and con
sidered them highly valuable contribu
tions to the future 6f the arboretum.
Mr. Shurtleff spent only today in
Washington. He is en route back to
his home, in Boston, from Williams
burg, Va., where he has the responsible
post of landscape architect for the
noted Williamsburg restoration.
RECESSION IN STOCK
MARKET IS RESUMED
Many Pivotal Share* Forced to
New Low Levels as Selling
Continues.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 11.—Stocks again
declined rapidly in today's session of
the Stock Exchange. More than a score
of pivotal shares dropped $4 to more
than $lO a share, several to the lowest
levels of the year.
Despite the perpendicular decline in
a number of stocks, trading was in
comparatively light volume, the ticker
being only a few minutes behind floor
transactions. Brokers commented on
the absence of supporting orders, such
as appeared yesterday, stating that im
portant banking interests were ap
parently content to let the selling run
its course.
Shares losing $7 to more than $lO in
cluded American Can, Johns Manville,
Air Reduction. Westlnghouse, American
Tobacco B, Allied Chemical and East
man Kodak. J. I. Case had another of
its wide moves, losing more than S2O a
share.
The bears apparently based their new
onslaught on the tenor of the weekly
steel trade reviews, published this aft
ernoon. Iron Age estimated that steel
production had declined this week to 69
per cent of capacity, from 72 per cent
last week. Preliminary estimates ap
pearing in Wall Street yesterday had
indicated that operations had declined
to only about 71 per cent of capacity.

or encouragement to those who have
been making the fight against the ex
cessive rates carried in this bill.”
In conclusion, Senator LaFollette
said:
“Just as the passage of the Payne-
Aldrich bill within four years forced a
downward revision of the rates then in
force under the Dlngley act, the passage
of the pending bill and the public un
derstanding of the methods by which it
has been achieved will bring about an
Irresistible demand for a reduction of
the excessive and unjustifiable rates
which this bill carries. The shameful
log-rolling methods by which the bill
has been forced through both Houses of
Congress wil do more to discredit and
destroy an embargo tariff system,
erected twisting and warping the
adoption lif protection, tharl all tariff
revision of the past.”
THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C., WEDNESDAY. JUNE 11. 193 ft
TREATY OPPOSITION
THREAT IS VOICED
Shipstead Would Force Data
From Hoover for Sen
ate Group.
By the Associated Press.
I Opposition to the consideration of
the London naval limitations treaty
until President Hoover gives up the
secret notes exchanged prior to the
parley among the powers was voiced
today by Senator Shipstead, farmer
labor, Minnestota.
He is a member of the foreign rela
tions committee, which is expected to
morrow to adopt a resolution expressing
Its contention that It has the right to
all papers in connection with a treaty
negotiation.
Chairman Borah is prepared to sup
port the resolution asserting the com
mittee’s right to the papers withheld
by the President, but is determined to
go ahead with immediate consideration
of the pact and to support it.
Cites Swiss Treaty.
Senator Shipstead said there were
instances where correspondence sur
rounding a treaty had been the decid
ing factor in its interpretation. In 1888,
he said. Switzerland raised a claim
based on a reciprocity treaty for the
same consideration given France under
a similar treaty. He said the Swiss
contention was unheld after an exami
nation of the correspondence attending
the pact, and cited other precedents.
Senator Black, Democrat, Alabama,
who had been counted among those in
favor of ratification, was the author of
the resolution. He. Chairman Borah,
and Senator Moses. Republican, New
Hampshire, were designated to redraft
the measure.
Debate on the resolution was expected
at today’s committee meeting, with a
vote on Its adoption or rejection com
ing tomorrow. How great a part it
might play in the Senate’s discussion
of the treaty was uncertain, but it was
indicated opponents of the pact would
make it the basis of efforts to postpone
action.
Deny Hoover Censured.
Chairman Borah and other advocates
of the treaty do not regard the resolu
tion as censuring the President. Borah
is of the opinion that Mr. Hoover's flat
refusal to produce the documents, con
sisting principally of notes exchanged
with other powers before the London
conference, was “conclusive.”
In support of his resolution Black
said:
"I am opposed to secret diplomacy
and I think the Senate not only has a
right to all the papers In connection
; with the treaty but has the right tc
1 determine which ones shall be made
| public.”
CONTEMPT OF COURT
REWARDS ALLEN FOR
BREWSTER CASE WORK
(Continued From First Page.)
preferred by Allen against Capt. Bolling,
Brewster s former commanding officer,
because Capt. Bolling is said to have
thrown Allen out of the office of the
Headquarters Company in Washington.
“Allen Is not going to run my office.
He is a destroyer and not a helper, and
if I had followed his advice another
man would be over here charged with
murder, a rank injustice to an inno
cent man. Every time Allen reads in
the newspapers of some one being ques
( tioned he wants them locked up and
charged with the crime. He tried to
destroy Kelly and Shelby, but he is
! not going to pull that sort of thing on
j me. He is now trying to destroy Capt.
j Bolling, an upright, honest man.”
1 Gloth said that if Brew'ster wanted
counsel ke was entitled to it, and asked
Brewster whether he wanted Allen to
represent him. Brewster replied, "No,
sir.”
Crounse then explained his position,
saying that he knew nothing of the
Bolling case and that he had accepted
Brewster’s defense on the strength of
the telegram shown him by Allen.
Allen Tries to Talk.
Allen then attempted to say some
j thing and was told that he had no
j rights, as he was not a lawyer. The
I court intervened and said that Brewster
j was 21 years of age and that it was
up to him to retain his own counsel.
At this point Allen jumped up and
said, “Gloth knows he Is a liar.”
In the confusion that followed Gloth
ordered Allen from the court room, but
the judge intervened, with the infor
mation that Allen could not leave, since
he was under arrest for operating his
automobile on other than Virginia tags
and that, in addition, he would have to
pay a $lO contempt-of-court fine.
Following this the court turned to
Brewster and asked him whether he de
sired Crounse to represent him, to
which Brewster replied:
"If Allen has anything to do with it
I do not want Mr. Crounse to represent
me.”
Had Talked to Brewster.
Crounse explained that he had ap
proached Brewster In the court room be
fore the hearing, explaining the circum
stances to him, and that Brewster had
said it was alright with him for Crounse
to act In his behalf. When he asked
Brewster afterward why he repudiated
his former statement, Crounse quotes
him as saying, “I don’t know.”
At the conclusion of the session Al
len apologized to the court. His apology
was accepted, but he was made to pay
the $lO fine. The automobile case was
continued until tomorrow morning.
As the matter now stands, Brewster is
still held in the Jail uader the same
charge. He is not represented by coun
sel and no tlmt has been set for a hear

CHICAGO AROUSED
BY LINGLE MURDER
Reward for Reporter Slayer
Totals $55,000 as In
dignation Grows.
V
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 11.—A reward of
$55,000 hangs today over the head of
the man who murdered Alfred (Jake)
Lingle.
The Tribune, for whom he worked
as a reporter, was first, offering $25,000
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the killer. Its morn
ing competitor, the Herald and Exam
iner, today had added another $25,000,
and the Evening Post has offered $5,000.
The slaying of Lingle Monday after
noon in the Illinois Central subway at
Randolph street has been followed by
such concerted public and official in
dignation as has seldom been provoked
here in recent years.
The murder, as Coroner Herman N.
Bundesen pointed out, demands solu
tion because it is the first in which
gangland has dared to shoot down in
its sensational manner a respected
citizen. Invariably before it has been
gangster shooting down gangster. The
public has refused to become exercised
over such murders. The public atti
tude has been, as the coroner said, that
a gangster slain is good riddance.
But now the authorities have for
solution the murder of a man widely
known and respected, shot down with
out warning in the presence of several
hundred persons, within a block of the
busy loop at the peak of the day.
Search Results Kept Secret.
The hunt for the killer is being
pushed with deadly earnestness. Re
sults of search are being kept secret,
an unusual procedure in Chicago crime
investigation.
The inquest yesterday was adjourned
after three witnesses had been heard.
The resources of the "Secret Six”
committee, organized some time ago to
drive organized crime from Chicago,
were pledged to the murder inquiry by
Col. Robert Isham Randolph, president
of the Association of Commerce. The
coroner’s office was making use of its
elaborate scientific resources for crimi
nal hunting, including the crime labora
tory of Northwestern University.
Editorial Comment Is Strong.
The Tribune, discussing the slaying
editorially, said:
“The challenge of crime to the com
munity must be accepted. It has been
given with bravado. It is accepted, and
we’ll see what the consequences are to
be. Justice will make a fight or will
abdicate.”
The Herald and Examiner said edi
torially:
"The city is in a state of political
corruption that will not cure itself. It
can only get worse unless decent Chi
cago citizens take matters into their
own hands, insist upon honesty and
efficiency from men elected to office
and in the police department, and
throw the crooked incompetents out."
Detective Transfer Probed.
An inquiry launched yesterday by the
police committee of the city council
into the transfer of two detectives who
were held to be particularly efficient in
the harassing of known gangsters or
"public enemies” resulted in a charge
by Alderman James B. Bowler that
“certain gangsters in this town could
kill a man right in front of certain
policeman and not be arrested.”
The two detectives, it was charged,
were assigned to ineffective duties after
they had arrested Hyman Levine and
Harry Gusick, Capone gangsters.
Authorities had information today to
confirm their belief Lingle had been
marked for death. Attorney Louis P.
Piquett, a former prosecutor, said he
met the reporter on Randolph street
Sunday, the day before the slaying.
"Lingle was telling me his theory
of the Eugene McLaughlin slaying.”
Piquett said, "when a blue sedan drew
up to the curb and stopped. Two men
in it looked at Lingle. and he at them.
He stopped suddenly in the middle of a
sentence, said 'good-by,’ and hurried
into a store.”
City Council Threaten*.
An ancient revolver, its numbers filed
off: a left-hand silk glove; the tales of
excited witnesses—these were the clues
—these and theories unnumbered, but
the last of city council threats and
i an aroused public opinion drove the au
i thorlties to search every avenue and
alley of the underworld, question every
hoodlum and habitue of the bootlegging,
gaming and vice haunts. For once
they departed from the practice of
telling the public the course of their in
vestigations, pursuing their various
trails in secret.
The Evening Post professed to have
learned that a killer brought from
the East was Llngle’s assassin. That
a prominent gang leader, at odds with
the newspaper man, hired his execu
tioner—and will probably kill the killer
to seal his lips forever. But this w'as
but another theory, likely enough, but
unproven.
Another city council committee hear
ing and a front-page editorial of the
Chicago Dally News focused the attack
on the police officials today.
The News editorial administered
severe censure to the officials. It read,
in part:
"The heads of the Police Department
in their professed efforts to deal with
this unmitigated evil, which so be
smirches the good name of the city,
have shown themselves incompetent or
worse. The gangsters treat them with
contemptuous tolerance * * * their
ineffectual motions in the wake of
each fresh gang killing are little more
than feeble imitations of intelligent
effort. Public tolerance with such
police service has reached its limit.
"Commissioner Russell, chief of the
Police Department, and Deputy Com
missioner Stcge. in charge of the de
tective bureau, have had their oppor
tunity to break up the criminal gangs
that infest the city and make the
streets hideous with bleeding corpses.
They have failed, for whatever cause.
Their methods no longer inspire public
confidence. If they cannot begin now,
today, to cope successfully with the
shameful situation by Intelligent and
energetic action they ought to go.”

RUMANIA TO TAKE
RIGHTFUL PLACE
King Carol, in Interview, Ex
plains Ambitions for Coun
try He Rules.
By the Associated Press.
PARIS. June 11. —King Caro! of
•Rumania, In a statement to the special
correspondent of Le Matin, at
Bucharest, told him that Rumania ex
pected to take the place in European
affairs entitled it by benefits reaped
from the World War victory.
“I expect my first ministry will de
vote itself especially to improving the
economic situation. This country has
resources and they must be exploited.
More than any other thing this merits
confidence and everything must be done
to maintain it.
“I have often had occasion to talk
this subject over with French econo
mists and financiers and I venture to
believe that the return of the lawful
King, his action and his efforts can
not but enhance Rumania’s credit.
“We need help from our friends and
we shall show that we are worthy of it.
Brought back to a normal regime, en
joying the benefits of stability, with a
sovereign who will not spare his best
endeavors, I am sure that Rumania re-,
constituted bv victory will take the
great place in Europe which belongs
to it.”
King Carol paid a glowing tribute to
the services of his brother Nicholas.
“He is more than a brother,” he said.
“He showed devotion, affection, abne
gation, and even now is giving up his
vacation. He hourly does me such
splendid service that I feel bound to
render the deepest homage to him.”
Women Not to Return.
PARIS. June 11 C/P). —A Rumanian
official here today said that there was
not the slightest question of either
Mme. Magda Lupescu, former compan
ion of King Carol of Rumania during
his exile here, or of Mme. Zizi Lam
brino, one-time morganatic wife of the
newly proclaimed King, going back to
Rumania.
He added that the last available in
formation was that Mme. Lupescu was
in Switzerland.
• SEEK RECONCILIATION.
Those Striving to Influence Helen Ask
Complete Forgiveness.
BUCHAREST. Rumania, June 11 UP).—
Renewed efforts are being made to
bring about reconciliation of Princess
Mother Helen with King Carol.
Those seeking to influence the young
Grecian divorced wife of the new Ru
manian sovereign stress that they will
not be satisfied with a mere recon
ciliation for appearances' sake, but wish
her to forgive and forget and to seek
anew the connubial happiness which
thus far has escaped her.
It has been stressed to the princess
mother that it is the dearest wish of
the Rumanian people that she and
Carol go back together and that she
allow annulment of the divorce which
was granted her after his desertion and
exile in Paris with the titian-haired
Mme. Magda Lupescu.
In certain quarters it was said the
Princess’ attitude would have to undergo
a marked change before such reconcilia
tion would be possible. She was said
to feel keenly her desertion, and to be
resentful of the irony of European
politics, which leaves her in Rumania
without a home of her own.
Meanwhile King Carol is proceeding
with organization of his government,
seeking first the guiding hand which
as premier will form a cabinet and
undertake actual administration. The
King held conferences yesterday with
both M. Juliu Maniu, premier-resigned,
and with Gen. Averescu, leader of the
Peoples party.
Later in effecting reorganization of
the army, Gen. Averescu and Gen.
Pressan both were made field marshals.
Prince Nicholas was appointed an in
spector-general of the army. He already
had been raised to the rank of general
of division by the newly proclaimed
King.

here at 8 a.m. today by automobile for
Munich where she intended to take the
Orient express for Bucharest. The train
was due to leave there at noon. Her
return to Bucharest will find a changed
political situation there, her elder son,
Prince Carol, having become King
since she departed last week.
Last night the dowager queen walked
through the village and visited vaifcius
of the passion players. She bought a

CAROL MUST MAKE FIRST MOVE
TO OBTAIN U. S. RECOGNITION
Wire Notifying Hoover of Enthronement
Would Be Simplest Plan, hut Several
Others Are Open.
BY REX COLLIER. |
King Carol II of Rumania is yet to
be recognized by Uncle Sam, but the i
new sovereign need not worry about it,!
for American recognition of his govern- j
ment is a matter of very little formal- j
ity, soon to be arranged.
Curiously enough, Uncle Sam has no
established rule of International law or |
custom to guide him in acknowledging
Carol's accession to the throne. In
fact, he is going to bide his time until
the King himself or some of his emis
saries have made the first move. Not
until then will he know exactly what
to do.
King Carol could eliminate a lot of
diplomatic red tape on both sides of
the ocean if he cared to follow the
example of certain other rulers and
merely telegraph notice of his enthrone
ment direct to President Hoover. That
was the course adopted by the King of
Ethiopia, and there are other precedents,
according to the State Department.
Procedure Is Simple.
If the Rumanian ruler adopted this
business-like method, he would simply
wire Mr. Hoover a formal little message,
announcing, without undeu modesty,
that he was now supreme soveraign of
his country by the grace of God and
the will of his people, or words to that
effect.
It would then be President Hoover’s
turn to acknowledge the announcement, 1
with perhaps a word or two of felicita
tion. That would complete the gesture
whereby the United States of America
accorded recognition to the new govern
ment of Rumania.
Sending telegrams to the heads of
each of the governments of the world
is, however, a troublesome task, and
also an expensive one, and Carol may
not adopt that procedure at all. It Is
recalled that his majesty’s son, Michael,
who assumed the throne when his
father renounced his royal rights to
seek ronmance with Mme. Lupescu in
Paris, did not bother to send a message
of notification to the White House, but
that could be excused in one so young.
The King may choose one of a num
ber of other ways to let the world know
formally about his coup d'etat.
May Send Special Envoy.
He may send a special envoy, bear
ing tidings from his majesty to the j
President of the United States. There
is a good precedent for that, for one of
Rumania’s former rulers sent a special
emissary to Washington to notify this
Government of his coronation. At that
time, however, the United States and
Rumania did not exchange ministers
and maintain legations, as now.
GREEN SUPPORTS
EMPLOYMENT BILLS
Declare* Congres* Adjournment
Without Relief Measures
“Inconceivable.”
Br the. Associated Press.
Asserting that hundreds of thousands
of men were out of work and "mutter
ing," William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, told the
House judiciary committee today It
would be "Inconceivable that Congress
should adjourn without announcing
some measures for the relief of this
situation."
The committee began consideration
of two Wagner bills passed by the
Senate for establishment of a national
employment system and for advance
planning and regulation of public works.
The Labor chief supported both bills.
"The situation became serious a year
ago, and now Is a constant menace,”
Green said.
"Unemployment still remains at as
high a level as last January—2o per
cent —only 2 per cent less than the
peak," Green said. “Progress In em
ployment Is highly unsatisfactory. We
estimate that 3.609,000 wage earners
were out of employment in the month
of May.”
PEACOCK’S SCORE
OF 71 HOLDS LOW
J. Monro Hunter Shoots 76 in the
Second Half of Qualifying
Round.
Although the field which started to
day In the second half of the qualifying
round of the Columbia Country Club
invitation golf tournament was con
sidered faster than that which started
yesterday, none of the early contestants
approached the mark of 71 made yes
terday by Roger Peacock of Indian
Spring
J. Monro Hunter, son of the Indian
Bpring professional, had the lowest
score up to an early hour this after
noon with a card of 76. F. J. Beger,

! He may, on the other hand, advise
s America of his accession through regu
i lar diplomatic channels, in which event
! the act of recognition would be effected
through the State Department rather
| than through the White House.
State Department records show that
I in most cases recognition has been ex
i tended through some formal diplomatic
! gesture, and the gesture on one or two
occasions has been wholly incidental to
the matter of recognizing a government.
For instance, Napoleon was recognized
as Emperor of France by the simple
process of sending new credentials to
the American Minister at Paris. In
that instance a blank form of creden
tial was forwarded to the Minister with
instructions to fill it in himself when
he learned the exact form it should
take to meet the new conditions of
government. One government was rec
ognized by sending new papers to an
American consul.
When Napoleon abdicated and the
monarchy was restored under Louis
XVIII, in 814, America accorded rec
ognition again by sending new creden
tials to the American Minister.
The German empire was recognized
in 1871 by the dispatch of a letter from
the President to the German Emperor.
Rule Laid Down by Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson in 1793 laid down
the rule which has served to guide this
: Government in recurring problems of
recognition. Jefferson said:
“We surely cannot deny to any nation
that right whereon our own Government
is founded —that every one may govern
itself according to whatever form it
pleases, and change these forms at its
own will and that it may transact its
business with foreign nations through
whatever organ it thinks proper, whether
king, convention, assembly, committee,
president or anything else it may
choose. The will of the nation is the
only essential to be regarded.”
America has never deviated from that
policy, unless reference is had to its
interest in the domestic problems of
her Latin-American neighbors. This
Government, by special treaty, is war
ranted in withholding recognition from
certain turbulent countries in Central
America whenever a new government
is the result of strife and bloodshed,
rather than the “will of the nation."
And there is Russia, of course, with
j its Soviet regime, still outside the good
graces of the American Government.
Russia, however, is in a class by itself.
Since the people of Rumania, through
both houses or Parliament, have ex-
I pressed their approval of King Carol
! in an overwhelming manner, Washing
ton expects to add its felicitations and
1 make its bow at an early opportunity.
MRS. YARNELL QUITS
POST IN NAVY LEAGUE
Resigns Because of Organization's
Demand for Delay in Ratifying
London Pact.
Insisting that Senate action on the
London naval pact should be deferred
until the United States can determine
what other signatories propose to do,
William Howard Gardiner, president of
the Navy League of the United States,
yesterday accepted the resignation of
Mrs. H. E. Yarnell, wife of one of the
admirals that accompanied the Ameri
can delegation to London. Mrs. Yarnell
contended, in resigning from the league,
that its attitude was Jeopardizing adop
tion of the pact. !
In a letter to Mrs. Yarnell, which he
made public, the league head said the
Senate had ratified the Washington
Conference treaties "precipitately” and
that the long delay occuring before all
other signatories ratified them "pre
sented the United States with a diplo
matic problem of very undesirable po
tentialities that required drastic steps
for its solution.”
For this reason, and without at
present either opposing or supporting
the pending pact, Gardiner said he felt
“ordinary common sense would suggest
that, this time, we wait and see what at
least some of the other signatories of
the treaty are going to do byway of
reservations and ratification before
committing ourselves.”
