WASHINGTON REFUSESi TO TALK OFrRETY Canada Ready To Arrange Measures Covering Tariff Duties On MutualI Coast Products And Fish, RECIPROCITYSUGGESTED (B- Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 19. - The cloak of official silence, which is wrapped about anything official Wash- ington is unprepared to discuss, was thrown today over the shoulders of Premier Mackenzie King's suggestion for a reciprocity arrangement with the United States. Canada is ready to arrange a re- ciprocal trade treaty to cover tariff duties charged on mutual cost prod-, acts and fish, the premier told the Canadian parliament, and is also will- ing to meet President Coolidge half-' way in reducing certain duties with- out awaiting Congressional sanction.) But official Washington, the sceneI of a historic battle over reciprocityt during the past regime, today knewI only what it had seen in the news- papers about the Canadian premier's} latest ainouncement. There were a few, closely associated with current matters, who said that1 under the law Mir. Coolidge could not change the tariff merely for recipro- cal purposes and that he had the power only to. use the flexible pro- Svisions of the tariff act to meet con- petitive trade problems. In the main,i however, official comment was held to the brief statement that the gov- ernment had not been approached on! the subject. The remarks of Mr. Mackenzie King revived memories of a long interna-j tional parliamentary uproar which continued for some months in 19111 and which drew into conflict some of the leading statesmen of America and of the world. President Taft threw the recipro- city question into the lap of Con- gress on Jan. 26, 1911, after havingf labored late into the night with his cabinet in preparing his message which transmitted the Canadian- American trade agreement. From that time onward, the issue overshadowed all others for months, bringing state legislators, foreign parliaments, statesmen the world over and the peo- ple of Canada and America into aM continuous round of debate. Feeling on the question reached such a pitch that at one time Glou- cester fishermen half masted their flags in opposition to a clause in thej treaty putting Canadian fish on thej free list. In Canada, there was talk of modifying the use of the American fn- honn RPof tp. nneainisu INVESTIGATORS OPPOSED BY1 - SERGEANT-AT-ARMS; SEEK t AID OF MARSHAL BARRY REFUSES TO G0 Attorney, Former House Clerk, Will Go To Pennsylvania To Obtain 1 Ballot Boxes (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 19.-Defied1 by Lhe sergeant-at-arms of the Sen- ate, the Reed campaign funds commit-1 tee today turned to its deputy mar- shal, a Democrat, to obtain posses- sion of the ballots cast in four Penn- sylvania counties in the Vare-Wilson senatorial election last November. Jerry South, a former clerk of the House and now a Washington lawyer, was commissioned to proceed to Dela- ware, Lackawanna, Luzerne and Schuvlkill counties to make demands, on officials there for the ballot boxes,' registration booths and other docu- ments which the committee holds to be necessary for the investigation which the Senate has directed it to make. South will leave for Pennsylvania, next week, but in view of the question raised as to the legal authority of the1 committee to proceed during the re-I cess of Congress, he is expected to encounter legal obstacles. The unusual procedure of appoint- ing a deputy-marshal was made necessary by the refusal of David S.' Barry, regulary elected marshal of) the Senate, to proceed on orders of the committe until he could have time "to take advice on the subject." Directed both verbally and in writ- ing to carry out the committee's or- ders and assured that the necessary funds would be forthcoming. Barry, in a letter to the committee, raised the) question of the legality of the use by him of money furnished through! channels other than the official dis- bursing officer of the Senate. Senator Keyes, Republican, New Hampshire, chairman of the Senate audits committeee, previously had re- fused to approve vouchers for the Reed committee, on the grounds that its status was in doubt, owing to the failure of the Senate in the filibuster) at the end of the session, to approve a resolution specifically authorizing, it to function during the recess of Congress. The fund tendered to Barry today by the committee was $1,000 the amount the sergeant-at-arms had spe- cified as necessary, and was advanced from the personal resources of Sen- ator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, thee committee's chairman. In announcing the action of the committee in commissioning South, Senator Reed said he and his associ- ates did not mean to wait on "the pleasure of the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate." MENG DECLARES BRITISH CONTROL DISTORTS TRUTH "It is due to British influence and control of the Reuter cable company that America gets a distorted idea 'f the situation in China," declared Paul C. Meng, general secretary of the Chinese Student Christian association' last night in an interview. Because I of a number of unequal treaties, Eng- land has secured a dominance in China that she is unwilling to re-, linquish, and therefore does not want the true facts to leak out, Mr. Meng believes.I The Nationalist party is fighting not against a nation but against these unequal treaties, lie continued. It de- sires nothing more than to make them void, and to give China a chance to delvelop her own resources, Mr. Meng added. He. pointed out that Secretary of Commerce Hoover has long advocated a direct cable conmunication between the United States and China, instead of gettilg falsified accounts viaLon - don, but due to British pressure the project has never been seriously con- sidered. If the United States would es- tablish a cable servic3 and send im- partial and unprejudiced journalists to China, the Americans would soon view her in a new light, Mr. Meng concluded. TICKET SALE FOR COMEDY STARTED Clippy [assesAway! As Disease Causes Use Of Chloroform By Timothy Hay Clippy is dead. The shy and undemonstrative Scot- tish terrier, who created such a furore last fall when she strayed away from the President's home and who had the whole campus hunting day and night for her until she finally wandered home of her own accord, will never more scamper across the campus. For it was discovered yesterdayI that Clippy had the rabies and there- fore had to be chloroformed imme- diately. Clarence E. Weaver, assistant in the Pasteur Institute of the Mied- ical school, diagnosed the case and put her to death. Not only was Clippy loved by mem- bers of President Little's family, but! the whole campus knew this little black brindle dog, who was to be seen romping over the campus on every sunny day. Clippy was a great favorite of the President, and had been his playmate during leisure hours ever since she) came into his home when a puppy, seven years ago. When notified over long distance telephone last night,. President Little, who is East on a speaking tour, was much disturbed by the news. Clippy had been sick with distem- per for three days, according to mem- bers of the Little household, and when a veterinary was called today, he ad- vised tests for rabies. Weaver was called, and he found that it was ra- bies, which Clippy is believed to have received from a dog which bit her a few days ago, when she was out walking with President Little. Although Clippy alive providedj amusement to the campus because of the publicity following her running away from home, in death she is re- membered as a likable brindle terrier, and as a joyful playmate of a Pres- ident. SHANTUNGESE DEFEI OPENS SHANGHAI ROAD Attacking Cantonese Army Expected To Reach Prize City Within Two Or Three Days WEATHER DELAYS MARCH (By Associated Press) SHANGHAI, March 19.-By the col- lapse of the Shantungese defense on the Sunkiang front, the road to Shanghai has been opened o the at- tacking Cantonese army, and military authorities here anticipate that they may reach the prize city within a couple of days. Their advance, how- ever, may be delayed by adverse weather conditions, such as have been responsible for the delay of the Na- tionalist operations for the capture of Foochow, about 50 miles west of Shanghai. The collapse of the northern line at Sunkiang, which has been defended by 7,000 of the army of Gen. Chang Sun Chang, was brought about through an out flanking movement by the southern or Nationalist forces. This maneuver rendered un- tenable the northern position at Minhang and farther eastward. The northerners retreated without the slightest attempthat resistance. Two thousand of them had arrived in Shanghai tonight. The collapse, though not unexpect- ed, as the northerners had been heavily pressed on all fronts the past week, was not looked for so quickly. It had been generally believed the Nationalist would eventually gain control of Shanghai by some sort of political bargaining. Naturally there is some anxiety over the possibility of clashes with the Nationalsit troops arrive in Shanghai, but the foreign communities feel quite secure with nine battalions of the British troops and artillery; strung around the settlement, with the forces of other nations within call, and strong naval forces avail- able in case of emergency. British troops were ready tonight to oppose any invasion of the inter-j national settlement, whether by northern or southern troops. In the sections of the city under Chinese control, the streets were deserted and the houses closed. Here and there! groups of soldiers and policemen were seen. Gen. Sun Chuan Feng, whose army collapsed several weeks ago through the onslaught of the Nationalists, is reported to have fled to Yangchow, north of the Yangtze river. He had been held a virtual prisoner at Nan- king since the outbreak of his forces.

An uphill struggle characterized the pluck shown by the victorious squad in overcoming the lead held by North- eastern after the Detroit stars, Beaut- ty and Lewis, had scored three con- socufive first places in the 440 yard dash, 60 yard low hurdles, and broad jump. Winning the medley relay in record time, placing third in the mile run, and tieing for first honors in the high jump, for a total of 11 points in the last four events netted Oak Park the lead, while Northwestern creeped up I TOTAL POINTS Oak Park .................22/2 Detroit Northwestern......16 Detroit Northeastern......16 Froebel, Gary ............13 Flint Central'..............8 N.

Cress, ,Oak Park, ran the first heat of the half mile in 2:05.to break the standard of 2:06.1 made by Burson, Waite high, Toledo, last year. After placing third in the half mile to Cress, Toth, of North Tonawanda high, New York, came back in the mile for the best individual performance of tIte day to lead the field by more than 30 yards in the new time of 4:39.8, al- most six seconds faster than the oW mark.
