excesses, and the then Premier, Luigi

particular fact of terrorism on the
part of the growing Fascists soothingly
said, "I cherish the hope that every
thing will turn out for the best."

Danes Hail 25th Anniversary
Of King’s Accession to Throne
%
Copenhagen Streets Gay
as People Honor Popu
lar Christian X.
Ey the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN. Denmark. May 15.
—Tall King Christian X of Denmark
and Iceland, fifth longest reigning
sovereign of Europe, celebrated the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his ac
cession to the Danish throne today as
thousands massed in Copenhagen’s
flag-decked streets to cheer the pop
ular monarch.
The King, resplendent in the scar
let uniform of the Royal Life Guards,
rode with Queen Alexandrine in an
open state carriage drawn by four
black horses to the Cathedral of Our
Lady for commemorative services.
Two other Kings, Christian's broth
er, King Haakon of Norway, and
King Gustav of Sweden, with diplo
mats and civil authorities went to
the cathedral for the occasion.
Capital's Streets Gay.
The capital’s streets were gay with
red and white Danish flags, and more
than 30,000 visitors poured into the
city from the provinces to take part
in the silver jubilee celebration. Cafes
and restaurants were open all night
to care for the throngs, while rail
ways maintained continuous service
to enable the crowds to reach Copen
hagen in time for early morning serv
ices.
Simplicity marked the celebrations
demonstrating the Danes’ affection
for their monarch whose democratic
habits—daily he rides horseback un
acompanied on Copenhagen avenues—
have endeared him to the populace.
Christian ascended his throne May
14. 1912. but the celebration was held
today, since the date fell on the an
niversary of the death of his father,
Frederick VIII.
Hymns Sung at Palace.
The day opened with hymns beneath
the King's balcony. There a chorus of
600 men massed in the courtyard of
Amalieborg Palace to sing an early
morning tribute to his majesty.
King Christian appeared on the bal
cony and joined in singing the Danish
national anthem, “King Christian
Stood by the Lofty Mast.”
After church services the royal fam
ily held a private luncheon at the pal
ace for visiting royalty, which in
cluded Prince George of Greece and
the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg,
brother of Queen Alexandrine.
Socialist and Left Wing groups dem
onstrated the monarch's unquestioned
popularity by joining in a joint ses
sion of both chambers of Parliament to
honor the King and thank him for his
services to the nation.
Villages Join Celebration.
Every village and hamlet of tiny
Denmark held some kind of celebra
tion and observances were planned to
continue through Sunday.
A gala dinner at night and a torch
light procession through the capital's
KING CHRISTIAN X.
streets were planned as a culmination
of the jubilee which included a broad
cast to the United State* and Canada
where Danes had organized observ
ances.
In Danish history, King Christian's
25-year reign is not unusual, for since
1448 the little kingdom has had only
19 rulers, 10 of them named Christian,
8 named Frederick and 1 named Hans.
The only European sovereigns who
outrank him in point of service are
Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands
who has sat upon her throne 47 years,
King Vittorio Emanuele of Italy with
37 years. King Haakon of Norway, 31
years, and King Gustav of Sweden, 29
years.
Dominions Include Iceland.
Christian's dominions include Ice
land, which is an independent state,
recognized by the 1918 act of union,
but linked to Denmark by the crown.
During his reign, a post-war plebiscite
added a section of North Sleswig. an
area of about 1,500 square miles for
merly belonging to Germany, to his
domain.
On the King's first visit in 1920 to
his newly acquired Sleswig territory
he quickly endeared himself to the
people. A 7-year-old girl shyly ap
proached him with a bouquet of flow
ers. The King, touched, reached
down from his horse and swept her
into his arms and bestowed a kiss
upon her cheek.
Christian never forgot the child,
and years later when she was married
sent her a wedding gift.
His courage and democratic habits
were demonstrated after a govern
mental crisis that same year when
he had forced the resignation of a
popular government.
Crowds carrying red banners and
shouting “Long live the republic”
massed in the palace court yard one
night. But promptly at 7:30 o'clock
the next morning the King rode out
unattended for his customary canter
on the city’s thoroughfares.

RECIPROCAL PACTS
PROVE TRADE BOOST
Chalmers of Commerce Depart
ment Shows Imports and
Exports Gaining.
The reciprocal trade agreements
program has appreciably expanded the
volume of total American foreign
trade in both directions, according to
a review of the program made public
today by Henry Chalmers, chief of
the division of foreign tariffs, Com
merce Department.
The program was authorised by
Congress in June, 1934, and so far
agreements have been concluded with
16 countries which normally account
for more than one-third of our total
exports and imports, Chalmers said.
Trade with those nations with which
agreements have been concluded has
increased to a greater extent than
that with the non-agreement coun
tries, the survey shows.
An additional agreement with El
Salvador, will come into effect May
31, and one with Costa Rica awaits
final action on the part of that gov
ernment. Agreements are contem
plated with Ecuador and Osechoslo
vakia. Exploratory conversations
have been proceeding with a number
of additional foreign countries, which
is expecterd to lead to further agree
ments.

Religious Sect Opens Con
ference in Indiana Sharply
Divided on Question.
By the A.soclated Press.
DELPHI, Ind., May 15.—Divided
over the question of whether to re
move their ban on radios, the Old
Order Dunkards—the men in beards,
long hair, broad-brimmed black hats
and collarless, coats, and the women
in long, full-gathered skirts and large
shawls—opened their annual confer
ence today in a large tent near here.
The denomination, founded in East
ern Pennsylvania early in the eight
eenth century and known also as the
Old Order German Baptist Brethren,
clung tenaciously, until recent years,
to opposition to many modem inven
tions and still bans musical instru
ments and radios.
Leaders of the “progressive" fac
tion, successful in removing the taboo
on lace curtains, the telephone and
the automobile, said today they would
ask the conference to withdraw the
prohibition against radios. Other
delegates said they would oppose
vigorously any such move.
In addition to the main conference
tent a second large tent has been
erected as a dining hall, where the
menu will consist of bread and butter
and apple butter, boiled beef, beef
soup thickened with breadcrumbs and
pickles. The apple butter has been
made by a Dunkard in Virginia and
shipped here in barrets. Ten cows
have been killed by Ed Young of
Flora. Ind., to provide the beef, which
will be cooked over a large fireplace
in the tent.
The Dunkards do not believe in
musical instruments and have none in
their homes or churches. For years
they debated whether to permit their
members to own automobiles. Today
most of them have cars; many came
to the conference in them.
The conference, being held on the
Adam Blocher farm, will continue
through next Wednesday and is ex
pected to draw a peak attendance of
15,000 tomorrow.

Brooklyn Pedagogues Hit
Geoghan Remarks in
Urging Probe.
> By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15.—A statement
by District Attorney William P. X.
Geoghan, that his office had found
“an unusual moral condition" in
Brooklyn public high school, brought
counter-flre today from school of
ficials.
The district attorney said he would
make public details of his findings
in about a week. He added: “None
of the facts reflects disparagingly |
upon the faculty members of the
schools.”
Geoghan said his office, during an
investigation of sex crimes, had un
covered an “unusual moral condition”
among students that "warrants an
immediate and intensive” probe.
Some school authorities were indig
nant over Geoghan’s remarks. Among
those taking issue with him were Dr.
Emil Altman, chief medical examiner
of the Board of Education; James
Marshall, vice president of the board;
Dr. John Tildsley, in charge of the
city high schools, and Charles Degen,
supervisor of health activities.
Geoghan earlier in the week had
asserted that “unsound moral con
ditions exist in our high schools.”
Dr. Altman said he believed Geo
ghan's statements were “greatly exag
gerated.”
"Our boys and girls of today,” he
said, ‘are as good as any of the
previous generations. They are fool
ish in using cigarettes a bit too early,
but otherwise we can impose our con
fidence in them.
"Charges such as those made by
the district attorney are harmful, as
they may stimulate those who have a
strong sex Impulse into activity.”

90 Days Imposed
In Second Drunk
Driving Offense
Mechanic Sentenced and
Rebuked by Judge
John P. McMahon.
One of the few persons ever con
victed here on a second offense of
driving while drunk, Marshall Gan
gon, 35. a mechanic, living in the
100 block of E street southeast, was
sentenced by Judge John P. Mc
Mahon in Police Jury Court yester
day to serve 90 days in Jail on that
charge and to pay a fine of S100 or
serve an additional 45 days for op
erating after his permit had been
revoked.
Gangon, according to testimony,
was arrested March 20 of this year
on Second street between D street
and North Carolina avenue south
east by Pvt. C. R. Burr of the fifth
precinct. The policeman said the
defendant was Incoherent and stag
gering. He was convicted by a Jury
May 6.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Mc

offense of driving while drunk.
“Such drivers,” he said, “can expect
no leniency from this court.”

Court
(Continued From First Page.)
sen ted the President as leaving to
Congress the form which economy
legislation shall take—whether there
shall be a 15 per cent impounding of
the appropriations, with certain ex
ceptions and discretion left with the
President to expend these funds, or
whether there shall be a 10 per cent
horizontal cut as proposed in other
congressional quarters. At the time
the President left Washington on his
vacation trip he wa6 reported to favor
the 15 per cent impounding plan.
Senator Robinson, discussing his
conference with the President, said:
“The principal subject of discussion
with the President was the situation
of the court reorganization bill. We
have gone fhto the matter in some
detail. I see no prospect now of any
adjustment. I expect that the battle
will go on.”
No Compromise Seen.
In reply to a question, the Senator
said this meant no compromise.
"The vote in the Senate,” he con
tinued, "will be close with a fair pros
pect for passage of the bill. As to the
time when a vote may be had in the
Senate, I am unable to make a fore
cast at this juncture. However, I
see no reason for a prolonged debate.”
Senator Robinson told the President
the Senate has kept well up with its
work so far as general legislation is
concerned.
"The Senate calendar is smaller
than I have ever seen it at this ad
vanced stage of a session of Con
gress.” he said. "All the general ap
propriation bills except two. the mili
tary and the Interior Department bills,
have been disposed of. There prob
ably will be another deficiency bill
toward the end of the session.”
The House leaders also discussed
with the President the general legis
lativ* situation and the state of the
House calendar.
Confers With Hopkins.
The President put in a full day
after he had returned to the White
House yesterday morning. He sew
Harry Hopkins. W. P. A. administra
tor, who discussed with him relief
appropriations. Hopkins, on leaving
the White House, predicted that Con
gress would pass the $1,500,000,000
relief appropriation recommended by
the President, despite the efforts of
' some members to cut it to $1,000,
! 000,00.
The Chief Executive conferred, too,
with 30 farm magazine editors from
| all parts of the country, who were
accompanied to the White House by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. The
President told them of his plan to
stabilize farm prices and questioned
the editors himself.
The President's announced inten
tion to do something for the farm
ers, it was believed, may have some
effect on the sentiment in the com
and wheat belts regarding the Su
preme Court bill. The farmers have
been far more lukewarm to the Presi
dent's court bill than have the labor
organizations.
