ARMS PARLEY TEAM EXCELS IN WISECRACKS Hoover Picks Dawes and Gibson for Work in Europe. BV LVIF C. WILSON. 1 nil~) Prrv. Mass < nrrrtpnrrirnt WASHINGTON. Junr 22.—An amateur and a veteran in diplomacy ha* c bcci) selected by Preidem Herbert Hoover as the team to repjesent the United States in the ‘forthcoming naval reductions discussions. Charles G. Dawes and Hugh S. Gibson, both American ambassadors. but in most other respects unlike, comprise the American team. They will meet in London next, week to exchange ideas and prepare for future negotiations. The state department revealed Gibson had been authorized to leave his Brussels post to bring Dawes up to date on the status of the armaments question before the League of Nations preparatory commission. Worked With President Dawes is the diplomatic amateur. Hi.s experience as chairman of the reparations exjierts committee in 1P24 largely was concerned with banking and business. He is no stranger to diplomats, however. As Vice-President during the past four years he did the administration’s dining out at diplomatic tables. Gibson has been twenty-one year:, in ihe. American diplomatic, service, beginning as a secretary at Tegucigalpa.l;. Honduras. Os the two. Gibson probably is on more intimate relations with the President. Hoover's knowledge of Gibson dates from war days when Gibson was secretary of the legation in Brussels and the President was feeding starving Belgians. Resents Knee Breeches Dawes and Gibson have some things in common. Both possess ready tongues, srlfmnfidener to say what they think and the ability to say it on their feet. Gibson's outspoken habit was illustrated about two years ago when the preparatory commission had permitted itself to be sidetracked info discussion of climate, natural: resources and topography as they related to the armaments prob’em. "This conference.’’ Gibson remarked. “has become one of hows, fogs and bogs.’’ Dawes’ latest contribution to his ist of sharp and unexpected remarks came just before he sailed j for London, fie was asked if hr would wear knee breeches and silk hose at. court functions. “You can go plumb to hell,” the > ambassador replied, "and you may i quote me to that effect. ’’

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MUSTER BLOC IN SENATE TO BATTLE TARIFF Seek to Place Agriculture on Industry Par by Debenture. BV RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. June 22.—A movement to place agriculture on a par with industry through the debenture scheme and additional legislation taxing “speculative activities’’ was inaugurated by a group of western senators today, with the tariff bill as the measure on which they will make their fight for greater recognition. A hint of the much-disoussed alliance between southern and westerp interests was seen in the decision of the organizers, who held their first meeting yesterday, to include Senator Glass’ provision for taxation of stock transactions in their program for the debenture, lower rates for manufactures and higher protection for farm products. Study Schedules Individual members of the bloc will study the various tariff schedules so that they will be ready to fight, the bill when it is brought to the floor after consideration by the senate finance committee. Senator Borah, Hoover’s champion during the campaign, but a critic of the administration for its opposition to the debenture, is said to have promised to join the group. Those who attended the meeting yesterday were Senators Brooknart of lowa, Nye and Frazier of South Dakota, Howell and Norris of Nebraska, La Follette of Wisconsin and Wheeler of Montana. Brookhart said the organization would total at least fourteen Republican progressives, including all those who voted for the debenture. It is hoped to effect at least a temporary alliance with sufficient Democrats to block any tariff measure that does not, meet the westerners’ demands. Seek Southern Support Besides presenting the bounty idea as a floor amendment to the tariff measure, the group will demand cuts in the house schedules for -such articles as building materials. shoes, steel, sugar and other commodities that may increase in price through added protection. They will also ask that many farm commodities be protected more than they are under the house rates. The farm group hopes to win southern supporters through its proposal for a tax on so-called “speculative activites.”

PAINTER DEPLORES KNEE KNOCKING Spaniard Favors Leg Exhibition on Streets of Cities. Bv I ntied Press LONDON, June 22.—Some knees are better looking than others, but all are worth while displaying, according to Senor Federico Balranmasses, a Spanish painter, who is giving an exhibition of his work here. “I am absolutely against the movement which seems to be gaining ground to make English women refrain from exhibiting their legs,” the artist said. “I think they should show their'knees. There is no reason for hiding them. ‘‘The American girls also can show their knees with impunity. They are descended from the English and inherit their beauty.” TRACE COOLIDGE TREE Book Says Former President Ts Charlemagne’s Relative. Bn United Press NEW YORK.

WNESRO PARTI Only One Lawmaker Accepts Musical Invitation. lilt i uiixl r, V, WASHINGTON. June 22.—One congressman, former Governor Richard Yates of Illinois, accepted the invitation extended to all representatives and senators by Oscar De Priest, Negro congressman from Illinois, to attend a musical and reception given here Friday night, for the benefit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Among the few other white persons who attended was E. E. Jones, register of the treasury. The recent entertainment of Mrs. De Priest at a tea given by Mrs. Hoover was alluded to twice in speeches which started the elaborate program. De Priest, himself, said he had nothing to add to the statement he issued early this week answering those who criticised Mrs. Hoover for receiving his wife. Weldon Johnson, executive secretary of the association, however, spoke at some length on the subject. He said De Priest's statement was the “most dignified” of any of the public pronouncements resulting from the incident. “When we compare his words with those of some of the blatherskites of the higher legislature they should put the proud Anglo-Saxons to shame,” he said.

GIRLS OF 12 ALLOWED TO WED IN 11 STATES 57 “Marriage Market” To;; ns in U. S. Uncovered. NEW YORK. June 22.—Eleven states of the Union still permit girls of 12 to marry. In several states marriage licenses are issued by mail, without the appearance of either prospective bride or groom before the license clerk. In many places the license clerk is dependent upon the fees he receives for his entire pay, and consequently he issues licenses promiscuously and without questions. There are at least fifty-seven “marriage market” towns in the United States where law is so lax that justices of the peace and "marrying parsons’ ’advertise that ceremonies will be performed at any time of day or night, and no questions asked. These conditions, brought to light in the recent survey conducted by the Russell Sage Foundation, explain a big percentage of the constantly increasing number of American divorces, according to F. Emerson Andrews, who analyzes the foundation's report in the current issue of the North American Re-

PROFESSOR MAY BATTLE CO-ED DEATH PENALTY Snook’s Decision to Plead Guilty May Be Changed Before Trial. Bu I nitrri Prcxx COLUMBUS. 0.. June 22.—With his arraignment on a first degree murder charge set for 9 a. m. Monday, Dr. James H. Snook, confessed slayer of Theora Hix. Ohio State university co-ed, was undecided today whether he will carry out his plan to plead guilty. Should the former professor of veterinary medicine plead guilty and throw himself upon the mercy of the court, the court would reserve the right to impose the death penalty or life imprisonment. The bespectacled professor’s attorney. John F. Seidel, said he would not permit his client to plead guilty “if it can be avoided." He said he wants the case to go to trial; tfiat he “is not yet satisfied that Snook killed the girl.” Miss Hix’s body was found on the New York Central rifle range here eight days ago. Snook, who occupied a "love nest” with her, was arrested. He confessed Thursday and was indicted Friday. Snook is married and thf* father of a child.
