PICKARD aid bill signed by WITH the farm Hoover and $151,500,-00- 0 appropriated to begin putting Its provisions Into operation, and the census and reapportionment measure also made law by the Presidents signature, congress quit work for the summer in the middle of the week. The senate recessed until August 19, when It will reassemble to begin debate on the tariff bill which Its finance committee Is expected to have completed by that date. The recess of the lower house Is to extend until September 23, and between that day and October 14 It Intends to hold only perfunctory sessions twice a week on the supposition that the senate will not have passed the tariff measure before the latter date. Senator Eorah of Idaho made a strong fight to have the tariff revision confined to agricultural and directly related commodities and in the course of a heated debate asserted that his resolution to that effect was in accord with the Presidents views and the primury purpose of the special session. Most of the regular Republicans and seven Democrats, however, 6tood firm for more general revision and succeeded in beating the resolution by the narrow margin of one, the vote being 38 to 39. congress gave JUST before recessing to President Hoovers approval recommendation that France be relieved of the necessity of paying the $400,000,000 due August 1 for the surplus war supplies it purchased after tiie close of the war, on the condition r debt fundthat the ing agreement be rutified before that date by the French parliament. Un-.- r the terms of that accord the sum mentioned Is absorbed as part of the entire French debt which Is funded over a period of slxty-tw- o years. The arrangement was attacked in both houses. The senate adopted a separate resolution on motion of Senator Howell of Nebraska declaring that In effect the United States under the r agreement canceled the entire $4,230,777,000 of the principal and accumulated Interest up to 1925 of the French debt. The to be made by the French government over a period of slxty-twyears are merely the equivalent of annual interest payments of 2.17 per cent on the original sum, the resolution declares. As the matter now stands, If either the French parliament or the American congress fails to ratify the agreement, France must pay the $400,0(10,000 on May 1 next Mellon-Eerenge- Mellon-Berenge- ts o TRANSFER of prohibition to the Department of Justice has been indefinitely postponed. Senator Jones Introduced a resolution for the appointment of a Joint committee to study reorganization and centralization of dry enforcement, as asked by the President, but the senators, aroused by the repeated killings by enforcement officers, started such a hot debate, demanding that the shootings also tie Investigated, that the administration leaders had the resolution withdrawn until August 19, when It was promised a vote would he taken. Citizens of International Falls, Minn., where Henry Vlrkulu, an apparently .nnoccut man, was killed by enforcement agents, appealed directly to the President for protection. He did not reply immediately, so the city council of the place sent a telegram to him to the same effect. Then, at the White House press conference, Mr. Hoover gave out this formal statement : I deeply deplore t he killing of any person. The Treasury department is making every effort to prevent the misuse of arms. Any case of misuse will be determined by the orderly pro ceedings of the department and the courts. I hope that the communities ihmg the border will do their best to d help the treasury end the systematic uur that is being curried on by international criminals against the laws of the United States. It is these activities that are the root of all of out difficulties." Mayors of Detroit, Wyandotte, River Rouge, Trenton and other towns and cities, of Michigan close to the with Canadian border responded pledges of wholehearted witii tiie federal authorities if u sane enforcement is adopted. That the rum runners up that way are encouraged by the attacks on the enforcers was n shown when the crew bf a liquor smuggling boat opened lire on a customs patrol speed boat near Detroit, smashing its bow and windshield and damaging Its machinery. Officials of the Province of Ontario announced that they would try to reduce the peril of border gun fights by disarming the occupants of all boats leaving lake and river ports. well-know- Oscar De Priest, colored, sent to congress by a colored Chicago district everyone knew trouble was likely to result It has come, and Is likely to stay for some time. In the house Mr. De Priest had conducted himself In a manner that cannot be criticized, but the presence of himself and his family In Washington has brought on social complications. Mrs. Hoover recently entertained several congressional women In the White House, and among her guests wasIrs. De Priest. Of course the South rose lu immediate and loud protest, and the action of the First Lady has been attacked as unseemly and unwise by southern legislatures, officials and individuals. The implications of the affair are more than social, for the administration is receiving numerous warnings of a renewed solid Democratic South, these coming especially from those states below the Mason and Dixon line which were carried by Hoover. WHEN VIRGINIAS y being bone dry, were opposed to A1 Smith, consolidated themselves in a state convention in Roanoke which was dominated by Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Mqth-odiEpiscopal church south. The S00 delegates nominated Prof. William M. Brown of Washington and Lee university for governor and C. C. Berkeley for attorney general. The executive committee was authorized to select a candidate for lieutenant general, and may name either J. II. Price, the regular Democratic nominee, or the man to he picked by the Republican convention. The De Priest incident cropped up here, too. L C. Trot-ma- n bolted the convention when it rejected a platform plank he offered denouncing Mrs. Hoovers action In entertaining the Negro woman. st Ambassador dawes and prime between them gave a great boost last week to the cause of reduction of naval armament and consequently of world peace. Their speeches, the one at the dinner of the Pilgrims society In London and the other at Lossiemouth, Scotland, had been awaited with Intense Interest and neither of them was a disappointment. General Dawes declared that naval reduction was the problem of outstanding importance to the world at the present time, and he discussed the methods whereby It might be brought about He said It must concern all naval powers and should have world sanction. The final negotiations, he asserted, must be carried on by statesmen rather than by naval experts, from whom be personally would expect a failure to agree. Said the ambnssador : It would seem that to adjust to human nature the method of arriving at naval reduction each government might separately obtain from Its respective naval experts their definition of the yardstick and then the Inevitable compromise between these differing definitions, which would be expressed In a final fixation of the technical yardstick, should be made by a committee of statesmen of the nations, from the beginning by these separate expressions of abstract technical naval opinion and able again to seek further imval advice If necessary before tiie final fixation. These statesmen shoufil further he tiie ones to draw up for tiie world the terms of tiie final agreement upon navul reduction which should be coucluftl In those simple terms understandable to the ordinary man In tiie street and which, while tiie pet aversion of tiie casuist, are the highest In altering the course of a brook for the construction of a golf course near Mt.

This was made necessary by the unexpected presence In their plane of one Schreiber, a brash Amerieun youth who stowed away on the Yellow Bird and whose added weight made the take off difficult and prematurely exhausted the supply of fuel. Displaying scarcely the intelligence of a child, Schreiber did not realize that he was endangering the lives of the aviators and imperiling the success of their flight. Tiie three Frenchmen treated him with (lie greatest forbearance and admitted he had nerve. But it Is good to read that he was almost completely ignored in Paris and all right minded people hope that that will be bis fute on bis return to the United States. M. Lotti made the youth sign an agreement that half of any money he might receive as a result of his foolhardy exploit should be given to Assolant and Lefevre. the pilots, and to a fund fur victims of air accidents. Seven persons lost their lives when the City of Ottawa, huge air liner of the Imperial Airways on her way from England to Paris, with eleven pas sengers fell In the English channel three miles from tiie English 6liore. The main shaft of one of the two motors broke and the pilot was unable to keep the plane up or to land safely.
