HI! HOMME TO KENORY OF WILSON MANY DINNERS HELD IN OB SERVANCE OF WILSON'S BIRTHDAY. New York.—Five hundred cities of the United States paid homage to the memory of Woodrow Wilson on the 69th anniversary of his birth. At the Woodrow Wilson foundations dinner at the Hotel Astoria, the late war President was eulogized for his statesmanship, his principles and ideals. Dr. Harry A. Garfield, presi dent of Williams college, sajd Mr. Wil son's clear vision and indomitable pur pose gave to the world living princi ples for the settlement of disputes among the nations, which at the close of the first quarter of the n«,w ceiUkiry are bearing fruit abundantly. Dr. Garfield listed as "the fruits of his efforts" the conference for inter national control of trade in arms, the commissions and conferences on wel fare of women and children and on public- health, the treaties negotiated at Locarno, and what he termed the fa vorite attitude of the United States to ward world court adherence, and the proposed conference on the limitation of armaments. Woodrow Wilson laid the founda tion, said Norman H. Davis, president of the Woodrow Wilson roundation„ for a "new and better order in world affairs." His influence in "recon structing a shattered world and es tablishing peace" has been exempli fied by such achievements as the res toration of Austria and Hungary, set tlement of the German reparations under the Dawes plan and the preven tion of war between Greece and Bul garia. Mr. Davis said these accomplish ments, together with the Locarno treaties had been made possible for the leagms of nations as founded by Woodrow Wilson. Three Slain in Dance HalL New York. —A renewal of gang war fare, from which Brooklyn has been free for nearly a year, was believed responsible for the pistol battle in the Adonis Social club, a South Brooklyn resort, in which Richard (Peg L«g) Lonergan and two others were killed as the climax of a Christmas night party. Lonergan was identified by his mo ther, Mrs. Mary Lonergan, who in 1928 was acquitted of a charge of having shot her husband. He was known to pol.ee as a member of the "White Hand gang," which was led by William Lovett, his brother-in-law, who was murdered in November, 1923. Mrs. Lonergan identified one of the other men as Aaron Haines, friend of "Peg Leg." Finger prints disclosed the third aa Neil "Needles" Per ry. Both had police records. A policeman found Perry lying dead in a gutter outside of the club and inaide found the other two men. There were signs of a terrific strug gle in the hall and bullet holes were found in the walls. Citrus Fruit Crops Not Hart. Tampa, Fla.—Florida's citrus crop was not in danger of being seriously damaged by the probable killing frost ««H freezing temperature, Walter J. Bennett, government meteorologist, ■aid. The weather bureau issued a bulletin warning citrus growers of the froat and temperature of from SO to 26 degrees. The weather official did not believe the mercury would drop lower than 80 degrees. If it does reach 26 degrees ha said, that temperature would have to remain for two hours before citrus would freese on the trees. Mr. Bennett said that be expected tha vegetable crops in this section and in central Florida to be badly damag ed. Tha Florida Citrus exchange offi cials said there was only one or two per cent of citrus growers in Florida equipped with smudge pots or other apparatus to combat killing froat.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS President Likely to Accept League's Invitation to Disarmament Parley. By EDWARO W. PICKARO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE Is desirous 'of accepting the Invitation of the League of Nations to participate In the preliminary discussion of a world disarmament congress, and with that In view he has conferred with con gressional leaders, asking whether it Is necessary to obtain the permission of congress and an appropriation. Among others, Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee was called to the White House. When he left he said he was In complete accord with the Preaident on the subject, and It was Indicated that the Chief Execu tive Intended to submit the matter to congreaa. Senator Lenroot of Wlacon aln also talked with Mr. Coolldge, and he said most of the senate would fav or accepting the Invitation of the league. Former Secretary of State Hughes was a guest of the Preaident at luncheon and this led to the belief he would be named to bead the Amer ican delegation to the congress, which waa held to be quite fitting since he la given large credit for the Washington armament conference of 1921. Hugh Gibson, minister to Swlts erland, will represent America In the preliminaries. According to Information from the White House, the President has con siderably modified his Idea that the United Statea might appropriately par ticipate In a conference for the fur ther reduction of naval armament, but that inasmuch aa the limitation of land armament la almost solely an European problem America shoald not take part In the discussion of that matter unleas invited In to compose differences of the European nations on the question. Whether It will be necessary to ob tain the consent of congress to accept ance of the league's Invitation la a matter still undetermined. The Knox reservation to the Berlin treaty appar ently la net applicable, but the act of 1913 forblda acceptance of an Invita tion to an International conference without apeclfic authority of law. Sen ator King of Utah haa Introduced In the senate a resolution authorising the I'resident to accept the Invitation, and Representative Hamilton Fish of New Tork has Introduced a similar resolution in the house. The matter probably must await the reassembling of congreaa on January 4. Another matter upon which Mr. Coolldge sought the advice of Mr. Hughes waa the appeal by Chile from the decision of General Perahlng de laying the Tacna-Aiica plebiscite un til April 15. CONGRESS adjourned Wednesday for a 13-day holiday recess. The house had passed the tax reduction bill—which will not have such an easy passage through the senate —and had made ready to take a vote on the treasury-post office supply bill Immedi ately after reconvening. It also adopt ed a resolution calling for an Investi gation of the alleged manipulation of erode robber prices by the " British colonial government. While cooaldaring the treasury ap propriation measure the representa tives found an opportunity to give old John Barleycorn another hard Jab. Mr. Tucket: of Virginia, a dry. Bought to amend the hill so as to restrict the uae of funds In the purchase of llqoor aa evidence of law violation. The pro posed appropriation fo this pnrpoee la 1280,000. and Mr. Tucker'a amend ment would have provided that no por tion of this might be used "to Induce any parson by fraud, deceit or false hood to violate the prohibition lav." The argument was long and wans, em bracing the merits or demerits of pro hibition, but whan It cfme to a vote only IT supported Mr. Tucker, while ISO were against him. This being In the committee of the whole, the votes were not recorded. COLONEL MITCHELL may wall pray to ha saved from his friends U those who arose ta congress la MB - ; " ll -i ih , 'A . H' \ - - ~,r.« - ■ ' behalf are representative of the men who believe In the suspended officer. Nothing could harm his cause more than the action of such men as Blan ton of Texas, La Guardia of New York and Tillman of Arkansas, who have been abusing the court-martial and Its verdict and seeking ways of undoing what It did. Secretary of War Dnvls, it is said In Washington. Is going to try to restore harmony between the various branches of the army, and at the same time Is determined to take drastic measures if necessary to maintain absolute discipline. He knows no reason for delay in bringing the significance of tUfe Mitchell case home to any other branch of the serv ice where there has been evidence of open disagreement with settled depart mental or national policies. Representative Bloom of New York has proposed to Mayor-Elect Walker that Colonel Mitchell be appointed police commissioner of New York city. He said he believed congress would enact any legislation necessary to make the appointment possible. BRIG. GEN. SMEDLEY D. BUTLER resigned from the marine corps In order to continue as director of pnbllc safety of Philadelphia. Mayor Kend rlck then. In a stormy Interview with Butler, told him he did not want him In hla cabinet "aa a resigned officer because he did not want any other action misunderstood by Preaident Coolldge," who had refused the gen eral a further leave of absence. He demanded that Butler resign, and this being refused, he dlamlssed him from his position. It was understood that General Bntler's resignation from the marine corps would' be withdrawn. Concerning hla plana he said: "Pro going to my home In Over brook apd I'm going to drive there In a car of the United Statea marine corps. The marines can take care of me, and Td rather be in the marine corps than In 10,000,000 cities like Philadelphia." DISSATISFACTION with Preaident Coolldge's farm relief leglalatlon policies waa voiced at Des Moines by the executive committee of the Amer ican Council of Agriculture and the Corn Belt Committee of Farm Organl catlona. The Joint committee, which claims to represent more than a mil lion farmer* of the Middle West, criti cised Mr. Ooolldge's recent addreaa concerning agriculture, denied that the Fordney-McCumber tariff la of great benefit to agriculture as a whole, and announced that an export measure would bo submitted to congreaa. A resolution, adopted note* "with a degree of amusement" that the new measure sponsored by Secretary Jar dine la to prove l a means of aalvatlon to the farmer by supplying him with an expert fund of Information about the "mysteries of co-operative market ing." Farmers, the resolution say a, have more Information than they need —ln fact, have but little elae, and need "a fair price rather than more Infor mation." Congress Is warned In another sec tion of tho Joint committee's resolu tions that Industry "should not Mams the farmers If they Invoke the prin ciple of self-preservation and declare war on the protective tariff." This "war" Is promised If Industry Insists that It cannot exist wlthoht the tariff and refuses to grant agriculture like protection. illgh up In the Republican party, too. there an those who believe that the President's plans do not go far enough. Among them are Senator Cap per. Former Governor Lowden of Illi nois and Vice President Dawes. Mr. Capper has bis own program, the main features of which are: 1. Legislation providing machinery for aegraftstlng the surplus of any crop, aelllnfe It abroad tor what It will bring, presumably at a price below that of the home market, and dis tributing the loss among the pro ducers. Z Development of co-operative mar keting with the assistance of govern ment agencies. 8. Liberalisation of the term loan law and amplification of the term crMlt system. 4.

Washington^—President Coolidge, In his eiiorts to find a way to accept the league of nations invitation to tne preliminary discutsir i o£ a disarma ment conterence has sougnt the views of congressional leaders as to the best aiethod of procedure. He conferred with Ch .irman Porah, jf the senate foreign relations commit tee, and Senator Moses, republican, Nc Hampshire, and Lenroot, republi cai|, Wisconsin, as to whether congres sional sanction should be given even •n advance of participating in the pre- Geneva meeting at which an will be made to draw up an agenda for the i 'ojected \ arid arms coiuciciice. take -the form of a bill carr; " 3 an ap propriation to defray the expenses of American participation. Opinion at t{ie capitol as to the advisability of tM" now to be divided, bat Senator Lenroot told the Presi dent that most senators favored ac c aft a nee of the invitation. Senator Borah and others of the irfeconcilables in the league of nations fight hold that acceptance should be conditioned upon a v -y thorough un deritc—di:. that the -ed dis armament conference would not con sider the security pacts and that this cpuntry would not enter ltno any kind of agreement which the league of na tions would be called updn ultimately to put into force. The '-reign relations committee chairman declined to discuss ms visit to the white house other than to say that he and the r asldent were in ac cprd.

The siuatlon which caused imposition of the recent express embargo in Florida, "is unpre cedented In the history of the whole country," R. Hudson Burr, chairman of the railroad commission, declared in a statement made public. The embargo, however, Mr. Burr de clared, was Justifiable and unavoidable because of the congestion at Jackson ville where, he stated, he personally found conditions "even greater than was stated when the embargo was placed." "There were approximately BO car loads of mail in the terminal at that time,'* Mr. Burr said, "nearly all of which had to be unloaded, reclassified and loaded again for various destna tlons both In and out of Florida, the volume being so great that solid steel freight cars had to be used to load package mail for different routes and destinations. "The express company had in cars and on the platforms around 200 cars of express matter in bound fur Florida and outbound for all potats, and the one box or small shipment loU of rug fruit for outbound movement to all parts of the United States was so great that it was necessary to use great strings of refrigerator cars to load sol'rt for special expedited service out of Jacksonville terminal for north bound and west, the supply of express cars being Insufficient and the volume being too great to be carried on regu lar passenger trains This was being done In order to get this fruit out of the terminal and to destination with out loss.

Peking.—The battles which led to the defeat of the Chili army of Oen-, eral Li Chlng-Shang and the occupa tion of Tientsin by Marshal Feng Yu- Hslang, were the most sanguinary ever fought in modern China, in the opinion 1 of observers. Twenty-three hundred 1 wounded In the Nanyuan hospital alone doubtless represent only a small proportion of the Kuomlnchun, Feng's army- casualties whos6 total probably never will be known. General Li is reported to have esti mated his dead at 4,000 and to have Btated that his aftalities were less than the enemies. Because of the nature of the con flicts and the inadequate field and hos pital service, thousands died in the trenches and open country from i wounds and exposure. Storms Take Heavy Toll in France.
