Rain Hangs Over D C Camp in Island Sale Inquiry
Dr Thomas Darlington, Civic Federation investigator, visited Washington militia camps near Naco, Arizona, amid heavy rain. He observed both regular and militia troops and later eyed conditions at Warren, Maco, and nearby camps. The storm flooded arroyos as guardsmen endured a drenching while green horses were conditioned. Capt Wilson cited favorable views of camps near Maco and with regulars. Meanwhile European talks on the Danish West Indies sale to the United States moved with kingly intervention delaying decisions and Berlin signaling no aggression policy. Islanders in St Croix favored sale by a large margin. Secretary Lansing faced Senate questions on business concessions tied to the treaty, with ratification likely after next week.
