WASHINGTON ACTS •WITH SECRECY AS IN DAYSOF WAR Coolidge’s Arms Suggestion Closely Guarded —Eevn Wastebaskets Affected. Bu United Press WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.—The State Department lias been blanketed with secrecy regulations unknown since war days. President Coolidge’s new disarmament proposal message was so closely guarded that even high White House and State Department officials denied its existence —apparently even they were not in on the secret. Investigation today revealed that the new secrecy rules extend from the office of Secretary Kellogg down to the humblest clerk’s waste basket. The contents of the wastebasket are destroyed late every afternoon by special functionaries before the cleaning force arrives. Note Books Safeguarded Stenographers’ note books must be locked in drawers when not in actpal use. I ' All telegrams are centered in a few rooms, locked in special cases, R’ith an official present every min-" te of the day. Papers carried from one- office to another within the butfaing must be enclosed in envelopes and important documents on for receipt by one official from another. Two reasons are understood to be behind the new regulations, which have been steadily tightened during the last three months: Causes of Secrecy Nicaraguan and Chinese policies have involved warship and troop movements and acts under some criticism in this country and abroad. This applies also to the Mexican situation, involving consideration, of possible removal of this Government's arms cargo. In connection with the disarmament proposal it was feared that any advance information might work to the advantage of foreign opponents of the move. There have been two alleged “leaks” in the department recently. An employe was discharged following investigation of a report from an American ambassador abroad that a foreign government was securing confidential department information even before he received it. Another employe was dismissed on department charges that he secured and used improperly advance copies of examination questions for entrance into the American diplomatic service. i The press has been connected in no way with improper “leaks,” it Is said. Ostrich feathers are plucked every Bven months and as the birds often e to the age of 80 years, ostritch farms are profitable.

LOBO WOLVES DISAPPEAR Animals Famous in Western Tales Becoming Extinct. ISii LiMcd Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Th> lobo wolves, famous in western tales, are passing out of the picture as civilization takes in the few remaining wilds of the West. Depredations by the gray wolves have been virtually ended by the unrelenting extermination activities of the Agriculture Department.

In New Mexico only eight wolves were taken last year, compared with thinty-one in 1925. Arizona reported eighteen wolves killed, with not a single wolf left. For the first time in history not a
