Delegates From Sixty
Nations Gather in
Washington
WASHINGTONIAN- Representa-
tive* of about sixty nations and del-
egates from fifty independent wire-
less operating concerns covering the
world convened in Washington
Tuesday to amend and bring up to
date the International Radiotele-
graph^ Convention signed in Lon-
don at the last congress in 1912.
It is the aim of the parley to
standardise the administration of
radio communications the interna-
tional supervision of international
wireless communications between
ships ships and shore stations and
shore stations both by radio teleg-
raphy and radio telephony. Attempts
will be made to allocate frequencies
for international radio services so
as to eliminate interference keeping
in mind the increased use of wire-
less for international communica-
tions since 1912.
Cover AH Phases
The discussions will cover all ra-
dio services including commercial
press governmental amateur ex
perimental. broadcasting beacon
navigational and distress.
Attempts will be made by some
European powers at least to com-
bine the international Radiotele-
graphs Convention with the existing
International Telegraphic Conven-
tion. to which however the United
States is not a member with s view
to coordinating all Internationa!
communication.
In the course of the conference
whch will last until about Novem-
bor 17 the greatest difficulties for-
seen are those relating to the meth-
od of approach of the various prob-
lems confronting the delegates and
to the organization of the confer-
ence itself.
The United States is spokesman
for a group of nations expected to be
greatly in the minority which de-
sires to limit the scope of the con-
i vention strictly to subjects “which
j concern sovereign governments as
j governments and not as communi-
cating agencies and which are there-
j fore suitable for inclusion in a fnr-
I mal covenant between sovereign
! states.”
America* Europe Differ
“Such subjects.” the official Amer-1
i *«n platform states “deal w;th the
government's concern for the pro-
tection of the public interests; for j
preventing discrimination among
users; secrecy of messages; avoid-
ance ^ of interference; the govern-
ment’s obligation with respect to the 1
I safety of human life and to marine j
and aerial navgation; and related
subjects.”
But in most of the countries at-

The natural tendency in their case
it towards inclusion in the proposed
convention of clauses dealing with
economic and technical principles
and methods of operation. In aueh a
field under the American principle
of allowing a maximum of compe-

restrictions against interference in
private institutions the American
government is powerless to inter-
The principal struggle of the con-
ference is therefore seen by experts
here as likely to center about the

arrival of a train which had left
Mexico City in the morning.
The passengers said there were
no outward sign* of trouble in the
capital when they left. Suspension
of rail service was said to have been
ordered to expedite troops and
military supplies in the campaign
against the rebels.
Indications that uprisings in Mex-
ico City. Vera Cruz and other parts
of Mexico in opposition to the re-
election of Alvaro Obregon as pres-
ident are much more serious than dis-
patches from the capital state are
contained in newspaper reports
reaching here today.
One report tells of a state of prac-
tical demoralization of governmen in
he state of Vera Cruz where there
have been four different governors
within the past two days. The depu-
ties of the state assembly there are
reported to be hopelessly divided
with small caucusses holding meet-
ings. and declaring new governors
named every few hours while forces
In the field believed to be support-
ing Generals Gomez and Serrano are
opposing federal troops.
The dispatches state that many
more than 500 troops have left the
garrison in Mexico City and that
fear of actual combat in the city is
entertained in some quarters. Fed-
eral soldiers are reported patrolling
the streets day and night and one
slight encounter is mentioned.
Belief also is expressed that the
troops which left the garrison have
joined the forces of he two generals
said to be in the field against Ob-
regon.
That the revolutionary move is
spreading into other states also is
indicated in the dispatches.
No trains are running between
Mexico <*ity and Vera Cruz and revo-
lutionary forces are reported to have
cut ail telegraph and telephone
wires leaving no means of communi-
cation.

in an effort to maintain bullish en-
thusiasm. Baltimore and Ohio
Chesapeake Corporation. N'ew York
Central and Union Pacific all moved
into new high ground in the first
few minutes of trading.
General Motors issues continued
to respond to president Sloan's pre-
diction that 1927 earnings would bet-
ter those of last year the old stock
crossing 280 and the new getting
above 140. Strength of South Porto
Rican sugar was due. in part to
the passage of the crop restriction
bill by the Cuban congress. Foreign
exchanges opened firm with demand
sterling around $4.86 7-32 and
French francs around 3.92 cents.
Further liquidation and persistent
hammering by the large short inter-
ests in New York kept prices on
the down grade all morning. The
easiness was aided materially by a
private estimate of 13775.000 bales
and further efforts to bolster up
the government’s carry-over figures.
At noon December was trading at
21.00 and January 21.04. 46 to 47
points below yesterday’s close.
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK. N. Y.. Oct. 4.—<jP>—
The cotton market opened steady at
a decline of 7 to 17 points active
months quickly showing net losses
of 20 to 24 points under continued
liquidation local and southern sell-
ing promoted by better weather pros-
pects in the South.
The decline to 21.17 for December
and 21 46 for March was checked by
trade buying or covering and there
were rallies of 10 or 12 points from
the lowest before the end of the
first hour.
Moderate rises from the early de-
cline appeared to meet further
southern selling and liquidation. A
private report placing the indicated
crop at 13.755000 bales seemed to
bring in a little more selling during
the middle of the morning arm
prices eased back to 21.06 for De-
cember or within a point or so from
early low level. The volume of bus-
iness tapered off at the decline how-
ever. and the market at mid-day was
quiet at rallies of 4 or 5 points from
the lowest.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. La . Oct. 4.—
The cotton market opened easier
notwithstanding better Liverpool
cables than due and first trades
showed losses of 9 to 14 points.
Prices continued to decline ow-
ing to more favorable weather in
the belt and the failure of predict-
ed frosts to materialize as well as
a continuation of liquidation.
December traded down to 21.25
and January to 21.27 or 22 to 23
points below yesterday’s close.
Near the end of the first thirty
minutes the market became steadier
and prices rallied 8 to 10 points
from the lows on less favorable
weather prospects.

Tigers Get Year’s
Base Theft Palm
DETROIT (/TV-Geo rge Moriarty
may not bring a pennant to the De-
troit Tiger* this season but he’s at
least given them something a Na-
vin-owned club hasn't known in a
long apan—a speedy team on the
bases.
Detroit boasti the best base-run-
ning entourage in the big leagues
this year. It his left every outfit
far behind with the exception of
the Senators and the Cardinals and
even those two aren't dangerously
close.
When Moriarty came to Detroit
he vowed he’d have a fleet-footed
outfit if nothing else. This year ev-
ery regular on the roster is takine
a crack at the more or le*» lo«t
art. Even the rather curaber»tone
Mr. Fothergill ha* been emulating
the deeds of some of the better
known pilferer*.
Moriarty doesn't believe a fellow
has to possess unusual speed to he a
success on the path*. “Speed s a
valuable asset of course." he says
“but there are msny other things
to be take mnto consideration. As.
for instance taking a big lead
knowing just the right moment to
go down the proper time to start
the slide and lastly how to avoid
being tagged if the ball gets to the
base before you do.”
While this is the ere of swat and
the policy of big league pilot* to
get runs in clusters Moriartv is of
the opinion baae-stesling will again
come into its own and return to
the popularity it knew several sea*
sons ago when a run at a time was
the offensive method of play.

Steady Upward Trend
Of Great Benefit to
South West
KANSAS CITY. Kan.. Oct. 4.—UP)
—The steady upward trend of cattle
prices at this and other southwestern
markets for several months which
has carried the price of grain fed
and grass fed cattle here . to the
highest mark since 1920 is a reflec-
tion of the scarcity of cattle and the
generally improved conditions in the
industry throughout the Southwest.
Increased values in the packing
centers will go far toward renewing
confidence end reviving the waning
cattle raising industry in Kansas.
Oklahoma and Texas in the opinion
of representative officials in those
states.
Two and three • *r record high
prices for grain and grass fed steers
have been bettered here a number of
times in the past few weeks and last
week saw the paying of the highest I
Trices for both grades since the de-
flation period began in 1920.
Cress fed steers here advanced to
$13.50 corn fed steers went up to
$15.50 and several loads of choice
veals were cashed in at the near rec-
ord level in recent years of $15.70 to
$17. One carload of calves sold at
$1S last week.
A top price of $16 e hundred was
paid yesterday for corn fed cattle
in Sioux City and with the present
scarcity of cattle in the Southwest
and the steady rise of prices here
present indications are that that
price may be equaled here soon.
