Mexican News, Good, Bad.
(Copyright by King Feature
Syndicate, Ino.)
Intellectual Americans on
Thursday paid $300,000 to see
Mr. Tom Loiifjlirnn fittht Mr.
.Tack Sharkey, a Lithuanian
vlin borrow his fighting name.
The gentlemen, who are
"heavyweights" in more senses
than one, fought three rounds.
Sharkey won. M'r. Loughrnn,
"technically knocked out."
Thp samp crowd will rfl'
$.100,000 more, later, to s.-e
them fight three more rounds,
with Mr. I.oughran winning.
After that will come the de
ciding match. Sad, dull days
for those who crave brutality.
Of all big business life insur
ance is 'biggest. Frederick If.
Kcker, president of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Com
pany, ' predicts an increase in
life insurance from one hun
dred' millions by 1940, while
discussing problems involved
in the investment of fourteen
thousand million dollars, held
in trust for policy holders.
Two hundred billion dollars
insurance on the people of the
United States seems gigantic.
But it averages less than $2000
per inhabitant. It's n poor
American that isn't worth more
than that. '" v '"
Our high financial powers
refuse to recognize, Russia's
government, and that govern
ment, unconcerned, continues
to show that it understands
nftinesK. .
Even American business
might learn some things from
Russia.
In the coming year the So
viet government plans to spend
six and a half billion dollars
on new buildings, industrial
plants, , factories, power sta
tions, dwellings, schools, large
state farms.
d M '
. Like Mexico, Iiussia empha
sizes especially the importance
of more schools.
Wall Street must wonder
whore the Soviets can find six
thousand, five hundred million
dollars, while our high finance
holds thumbs down.
'
. Two pieces of Mexican news,
one good, one bad, for Mexi
co's people. 'With excellent in
tention', Mexico plans to let
Mexican labor raise itself by its
own boot straps. That is the
lad news.
Kmployers hiring more than
20 workers must make eollcct
ivc (Vtitriir.ts, with nil.
An employer, for any reason,
lei ting men go, even rinsing
down for lack of business, must
continue paying wages for
three months.
f finch laws, if established, would
drive capital and prosperity out of
Mexico.
It would expel the only atttnmo
hile factory in Mexico, which be
longs to Henry Ford.
Mexico's good news tells that the
mimber of her schools has doubled
wllhln a year. The government
plans public school for every child
on the American plan.
One year ago Mexico had S3S2
schools in rural communities. Now
these schools number 6073.
The children of peons and their
parents are educated at the public
expense. ,
Mexico .goes one step better by
tres, where the population may en
joy, without any charge, enlighten
ing and amusing moving plciures.

AT BANQUET I
Closing Event Attended By
200, and Is Replete With
Wit and Oratory Lead
ing Jurists and Barristers
Talk Session Here Has
Record Attendance-
I.rilllnnce. wit. eloquence and
pathos were intermingled In tlw
after dinner speeches made ly
members of the bench and burt
at the banquet last nlKht which
brought to a climax what was
pronounced by Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court O. I. Coahow,
the heat attended convention ever
held by the Oregon State Har as
Hociation. More than 200 were
seated in the main dining room
of the Hotel Medford.
Although humor predominated
throughout the program of talks,
subjects of a serious nature, in
volving court procedure and pro
poaed Judicial reforms were ef
feceively handled by the speak
ers. "Kportsmnnship and the I-iw"
was the subject of the address
given by Judge James T. Brand
of Coos Hay. Assuming the Inate
hive of fair play in the American
make up, which Is in part respon
sible for many of the customs in
the court procedure of this coun
try, the judiciary, without criticis
ing uny of the existing conditions,
left the thought that the balance
on the scnles of Justice were per
haps tipped too much on the 'side
of the defendant.
. 10. O. Immel, newly elected pres
ident of the stale Knr association,
proved himself a capable and wlt
Cy, tnastmaster, and prufaced the
remarks of each speaker with
stories that gave a perfect balance
to the evening's program.
Attorney (lus Newbury, who wag
called, upon to start off the eve
ning's entertainment with nn ex
temporaneous speecht caused one
gale of laughter after another In
the few minute that he held the
floor.
Vocal selections were contribut
ed by Mrs. George Alexander of
Portland, soprano, and Mrs. Thnm
aa Terrlll of Head, contralto, both
of whom delighted their hearers,
with the quality ot exceptional
voices.
Judge Harry D. Norton of .lack
son and Josephine counties re
ceived an ovation or applause as
his name was 'called, and caused
a prolonged chuckle throughout
the assemblage with his surpris
ing drolleries, and humorous ob
servations on the events of the
past two (lays.
Judge Samuel Stern of Seattle,
guest speaker, who Friday morn
ing caused a sensation in the con
vention by his splendid paper ad
vocating the abolishment of the
jury, gave an entirely humorous
talk and wns frequently applaud
ed hy the Oregon barristers.
That lawyers as a class and the
courts which they represent are
the targets of an Insidious and
mvAi-r ott..w nn ih nr nf
metropolitan newspapers, was a
statement made by Judge Fred
Wilson of The Dalles, at the con
clusion of his brilliant address,
which was the final number of
the program.
Thai the lawyer stands with the
doctor and the minister as the
clans who guard the most sacred
confidence of humanity, was furth
er stated by the judge, who claim
ed that there Is no room for the
dishonest lawyer in the profeasloii,
and that "Ills footsteps have been
rarely and only faintly heard down
the corridors of time."
He urged that the state har as
sociation take a stand against such
attacks and be given the chanre
to not only defend their profes
sion, but to drag their attackers
out In the opn to nnnver their
charges. t
Frequent expressions of spprec-
Istlon were expressed tlirounlioiit

GENEVA
Reeves Said to Have Hoped
Arms Parley Would Fail
Often With Lobbyist
Shearer Under Probe
Naval Chief Asks For
Hearing.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 28. (&)
Reply will be made on Monday by
Rear Admiral J. M. Reeves to the
statement before the senate uaval
investigating committee that as
one of the American experts at
the unsuccessful Geneva naval
limitations conference of 1927, he
"frequently expressed the hope it
would not Bticceed."
Admiral Reeves "called Chair
man Shortrldge of the committee
today by telephone to request the
hearing. Drew Pearson, a news
paper man who reiwrted the Gen
eva conference, told the commit:
lee during Uh Investigation of the
activities of William B. Shearer
on behalf of shipbuilders at that
conference, that he saw Reeves
frequently in the company o t
Shearer in the Swiss city and
heard him (Reeves) express the
hope of a failure of that parley.
After hearing the naval officer
Monday, the committee will turn
at last to Shearer to hear his
account ot what he did at the
conference called by President
Coolidjse n a futile attempt to
limit the cruiser construction of
America, Great Britain and Japan.
Shearer has sued the ship build
ers for 1(250.000, above his $25,
000 salary for services he alleges
he rendered at the Geneva meet
ing. In its first week of investiga
tion, -the- committee was told by
the ship builders that they secret
ly sent Shearer to i Geneva for
the sole purpose of "observing and
reporting." They agreed that they
; did not even read his reports.
I Pearson then told the commit
tee that Shearer at Geneva attend
ed the newspaper conferences, dis
tributed material to the press, con
sorted frequently with the Amer
ican naval experts and was a
"distinct influence against Anglo
American good will."
The senate Investigators are anx
ious to question Shearer about his
understanding with the shipbuild
ers as to his Geneva work and
as to just what he did at Geneva.
There is also a possibility that
the committee may go Into the
present as well as the past activ
ities of Shearer.
Inquiry has developed that the
navy department has a record of
Shearer, and there have been In
timations that the senate investi
gators might call upon the depart
ment of justice to learn what in
formation It has developed in the
investigation offered by President
Hoover of activities of the ship
builders at Geneva.
Shearer has attended all the
committee hearings while the ship
builders told ot their employment
of 'lim; exnre; re,?ret vf
, and termed his 'reports' as
hunk." He has promised the com-
in it ten to tell a full story.

HOM. Hawaii, Sept. 2S. CjfP)
Au earthouake rocked the entire
city or Hilo at 7:10 a. m., today,
one of the mala streets was rip-'
ped apart in two places. The Cath
olic church, which was moved on
tts foundations, was marred by a
dozen cracks.
Tho shock was similar In vie
lousness to that which caused
$11)0,000 damage in the Kona dis
trict on the western, or opposite
side of Hawaii Island. It was the
first shock felt lu Hilo of the ser
ies of quakes that have kept the
populace of ICotia district . terror
sttlcken since Monday night'
Hilo Is approximately sixty air
line miles from Kona district,
which has been shaken almost '
continually following the - first
shock Monday night caused by
movements of lava within the
craters of the volcanoes Maunn
Ijou, Kllatiea and Hunlalal. . '.
The volcano observatoiy, near
KUauea, reported that fifty earth
quakes in tho past twenty-four
hours were recorded on the seis
mograph, In such manner aa to in
dicate that two columns of lava
were rising to the surface. Gen
eral belief Is that the lava will
make Its appearance from tho
craters of Hualalal or Manna Loa,
as predicted by VolcauolOKlsV. T.

Residents In the country to the
north of Hilo were moving their
belongings across the Walluku
river today In an attempt to get
away from the Putt Oo district,
where the quakes seemed to be
concentrated. The district Is about
fifteen miles east of Hilo, and Is
sparsely settled.
After a lull yesterday, a series
of shocks began at 10 o'clock nt
night. With Increasing Intensity,
they were felt over the euiuo
Island of Hawaii, with the result
that residents' nerves were strain
