Resolution I'rg'ng Popular Choice
FIuration Hoards May Evoke
Fire Among Teachers
SEATTLE, July 7. (AP) A
proposed resolution urging popu
lar election of state, county and
city boards of education on non
partisan ballots tonight gave indi
cations of furnishing a controversy
in the closing sessions of the Na
tional Education association con
vention, here.
The resolution," generally re
garded as having been inspired by
an address of Dr. Henry Suzzallo,
former president of the University
of Washington, will be presented
to the association by the resolu
tions committee at one of the final
meetings tomorrow.
In , addition to recommending
election, rather than appointment
6f educational boards, the resolu
tion "deplores' the passage of
laws which direct that certain sub
jects shall or shall, not be taught
in the- public school.
Opposition to the first plank
has been expressed by several del
egates, who recall that Dr. Suzzal
lo was removed as head of the uni
versity by an appointive board of
regen-ts. Passage of the resolu
tion, in the opinion of those op
posed to it would . constitute
"meddling in Washington state
politics."
In today's Bession the delegates
cast their ballots for officers fo
the association. Miss Cornelia S.
Adair, of Richmond, Va., was nam
ed president; Henry Lester Smith,
of Bloomington, Ind., treasurer
and Dr. Francis G. Blair, retiring
president, was selected as first
vice president. All were unop
posed. Selection of the 1928 convention
city, with Minneapolis virtually
assured of it, will be made late
tomorrow by the directors of the
association. More than 8000 del
egates are attending the conven
tion here. -

MEXICO REPORT
AMBASSADOR SHEFFIELD RE
TORTS TO PRESIDENT
S. Attitude Toward Oil and
Land Laws Unchanged
Says Sheffield
RAPID CITY, S. D., July 7.
(AP) A first hand report on the
troubled relations between the
United States and Mexico, was
Kiven to President Coolidg3 at the
Summer White House today by
James R. Sheffield, ambassador to
Mexico, but details were withheld
pending further conversations.
The ambassador had indicated
before departing from Rapid City
to be a guest at the state game
lodge, that in his opinion, there
would be no change in the Ameri
can attitude toward the Mexican
oil and land laws.
Pressed for a statement regard
ing frequent rumors that he in
tended to resign, Mr. Sheffield de
clined to comment, saying that he
would not discuss the Mexican sit
uation in any way until he had
conferred with Mr. Coolidge.
Reaching Rapid City shortly &U
Ur midnight, the ambassador was
driven immediately to the sum
mer White House and retired
without seeing the president. He
arose just before Mr. Coolidge left
for the executive offices, remain
ing in seclusion until the presi
dent's return at noon, when the
twe held their first conference.
At the executive offices, it was
stated that some time before Mr.
Sheffield's visit is over, he will
make some announcement regard
ing his future plans and his im
pressions of the Mexican problems.
Aside from his conference with
the ambassador, the first on for
eign affairs he has had since his
summer residence, Mr. Coolidge
put in a busy morning at his desk
and with Mrs. Coolidge, inspected
the Rapid City Indian school a
government institution.
There he saw how the native
American is being tutored in the
ways of the white man, and was
presented with a peace pipe of
cherry wood, decorated gaily in
beads, porcupine quills and buck
skin. DIES OF BROKEN NECK

Fire yesterday afternoon com
pletely destroyed the plant of the
Capital City Bedding" company, at
1190 N. Capitol street, with a to
tal loss of over $30,000.
The flames were said to have
started from "spontaneous" com
bustion in a picking machine,
about 3:30, and were almost ex
tinguished by the efforts of em
ployes using a small hose and
chemical extinguisher, before the
arrival of the fire engines.
Break Out Again
Breaking out of control, how
ever, the flames quickly filled the
Llrame building, with its extremely
inflammable contents. Nothing
was saved except the company's
books and valuable papers.
The blaze was spectacular, with
flames and smoke rolling high Jn
to the air. For a time several
neighboring houses were threat
ened, and a building belonging to
the Gowen and Ritchie service
station was slightly damaged, but
firemen and volunteers succeeded
in keeping the flames ' confined
largely to the main plant of the
bedding company.
Mattress Stock Lost '
A $20,000 stock of mattresses
was completely destroyed, as was
all the machinery, including a re
cently installed filling machine
costing $6,000, and other equip
ment valued at $2,000. The build
ing was valued at about $3,500.
The loss is covered partly by in
surance, the owners said.
The Capital City Bedding com
pany is owned by E. W. Muller
and D. Poulin. and has employed
a force of eight workers.
Building operations will start
immediately to replace the plant,
Mr. Poulin said, and every attempt
will be made to catch up with or
ders as soon as possible.
The fire department was some
what hampered by the fact that
the closest hydrant was over a
block distant. Three machines re
sponded to the alarm.

The New York American in a

Independent "to discontinue per
manently all articles hostile to the
Jewish people." has withdraw
from publication the pamphlet im
which such items were being dis
tributed and in a signed state
ment, has expressed deep regret
for any Injury or hurt caused by
the series.
Mr. Ford's statement, according
to the American, includes the an
nouncement that "henceforth the
Dearborn Independent will be
conducted under such auspices
that articles reflecting upon the
Jews will never again appear in
its columns."
"Let me add," this version of

this statement is made on my own
initiative, and wholly in the inter

cordance with what I regard as
my solemn duty as a man and as
a citizen."
The Detroit manufacturer was
quoted as being "deeply mortified
that this journal has been made
the medium for resurrecting ex

cy to the so-called protocols of the
wise men of Zion, which have been
demonstrated,- as I learn to be
gross forgeries, and for contend
ing that the Jews have been en
gaged in a conspiracy to control
the industries and capital of the
world."
"Had I appreciated Seven the
general nature, to say nothing of
the details of these articles," Mr.
Ford is quoted as declaring, "I
would have forbidden their circu
