A paraphrase of the note of May of the American government to tha Netherl: protesting the policy of that governim-nt with respect to the exploitation of the Djambi oil fields of the Dutch East Indies, was made pub- lc at the tate Department last night It does mot ~ substantially from previously published summaries of the communication. Addressed to the Netberlands for- e §h office through the American lega- tion at The Hogue, the note expressed the hope that the Dutch government would yet find itself able to settle the question invelved “in accordance with the fundamental principle of reciproc- ity. which is regarded as of the greatest importance in relation to ue exploitation o natural resou Excludes Americans. Referring to the bill recently pas: by the second chamber of parliament at The Hague, closing the Djambi fields. the note said “that, although the law appears to allow aliens to own stock in the companies engaged in the development of oil lands in the Dutch East Indies. the execution of the law. us stipulated by the pro- posed legislation under discussion. can only be regarded as indicating that the Netherlands government at present purposes to exclude citizen: of the United States from any parti pation o a substantial character in its mineral ofl industry, and, accord- to p:event American citizens i the equality of oppor- s of the Nether- rtions and negotiations Hague by Willlam merican minister, were reviewed how that the position of the American government had becn well known for a year and that on two scparate occasions American compznies had applied for conces- sions in the fleld in question long before the exclusion bill had reached a vote in the sccond chamber. “Ac- the note said, *“the lega- instructed to state that the “'nited States government finds it “npossible to regard the applications erican companies or its own fons of interest in the matter as having been communicated too the government of the Nether- eonducted Phillips. t Legislative Provision. Referring to the concession granted to the Bataafsche Petroleum Com- pany in the Djambi Fields, the note said it had understood that only pro- visional decisions had been reached in the matter, as the oil concession bill made no reference to any earlier engagemcnts which the Dutch gov- ernment had formed with that com- pany. The legislation, it added, was understood to provide for a new com- panr. to be known as the Netherlands Indies Mineral Oil Company. to which would be turned over operation of the concession for the Djambi oil lands. The note of the American gov- ent has not as vet been replied to by the therlands government. Minister Phillips, it has been an- nounced, will sail from The Hague on July 6 for a visit to this country, but it is said that his visit in no way concerns the civil controversy. CARPENTERS BOLT A.

Important problems facing the prohi- bition enforcement forces were outlined last night by John F. Kramer, retiring national prohibition commissioner. To make the burden of his successor, Roy A Haynes, easier, Mr. Kramer suggested that Congress enact a law giving him authority to limit the number of pre- scriptions for whisky which physicians may issue and the quantity of whisky which may be manufactured and im- ported and to prevent the use of whisky in medicines in which alcolhol has cus- tomarily been used. Loynl Axents Needed. Primary_among the problems facing the new prohibition commissioner, Mr. Kramer said, will be the necessity of maintaining an organization which will loyally do the work he has to do. While a fow prohibition enforcement officers have betrayed their trust. he declared, the great majority of them are abso- lutely loyal and honest. “Second, alcohol will continue to be a problem,” he said. It must be encouraged for industrial uses and purposes, yet the very alcohol which is so valuable in industrial lines of work can easily be made a potable liquor. “Third, the border problem is a rather serious one in that liquors are smuggled into the country. This will remain a problem until foreign governments can see their way clear to so adjust their laws that they will not make it difficult for their neigh- bor and friends to carry out the laws which have been enacted by their aid neighbor and friends. 'Fourth, the illicit making of whisky, and this especially in the south. will rem&in a problem for some time to come. Fifth, the withdrawal of whisky and alcohol from bond on forged per- mits. This has been one of our great- est problems and is not altogether solved.” Support Growing. Local ‘and state support to federal officials has become more pronounced, Mr. Kramer continued. “The people,” he added, “have to a Foeat extent adapted themselves to Re new law and o the changed con ditions which it brought about. This, of course, helps greatly in carrying out the work under the la: Commissioner Haynes announced the appointment _of James E. Jones, formerly of Youngstown, Ohio, as as- sistant federal prohibition commis- sioner. Mr. Jones has been connected with the Department of Agriculture since 183, recently as assistant in charge of business operations of the buresu of pxam industry. —_————— CONDUIT APPROVAL RELIEVES OFFICIALS (Continued from First Page.) mendation on the subject to the Sen- ate committee. Advoeates of Measure. Senators Sutherland and Capper took a prominent part in getting the water legislation through the Senate, where sentiment appeared to be en- tirely favorable to it. In the House the principal advocates of water leg- islation are Representatives Zihlman of Maryland and Moore of Virginia, although sentiment on this side of the Capitol in favor of the provision is thought to be general. Board of Trade members and Wash- ington water consumers generally were in a happy frame of mind last night over the outlook for a favorable vote in the House.. They do not discount the fact that the present conduit may go out of business before a new ono can be built, but, with the authority for a new construction granted, much of the menace to Washington in the present situation will be removed, they point out. Board of Trade Statement. The water supply committee of the Board of Trade, of which Francis R Weller is chairman and which has been active In the effort to acquaint Congress fully with all the facts in the water situation, prepared a statement yester- day to be sent to the conferees on the Army bill.

ATTACK ON WOMAN STIRS RACE FEELING State’s Attorney Acts Quick- ly at Aberdeen—New Clues Sought by Police. Special Dispatch to The Star. ABERDEE! Md., June 11.—Fear- ing that serious trouble might arise between the white and colored men of this section, due to the assault on Mrs. Lillie Singleton, wife of Frank Singleton, on his farm near Aberdeen, Thursday afternoon, by a colored mam State’s Attorney Walter R. McComas of Harford county held a meeting of the leading white citizens here this afternoon to form plans to prevent trouble. Before leaving Belair this morning State's Attorney McComas said the danger of 2 serious clash between the whites and blacks at Aberdeen was real and he added steps must be taken at once to check the danger. He said he was fold that the negroes became more incensed after Elliott Bosquit, colored. of Washington, caught on a freight train yesterday afternoon, was shot by Richard Singleton, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Singleton, and because of the arrest of Shirley Harvey, who, with several colored men, made threats that they intended to bring about the release of Bosquit. Wounded Man Not Guilty. At the Havre de Grace Hospital this morning it was said that Bosquit was resting easily, but that he will have to remain in the hospital for several days. He was shot in the left thigh, Mrs. Singleton said Bosquit was not her assailant when she was brought before him. George Neal, colored, who was ar- rested shortly after the assault in Aberdeen was taken before Mrs, Singleton yesterday afternoon and, according to State's Attorney Me- Comas, she said while she was unable to say positively he was the man who assaulted her, his clothing re- sembled that worn by her assailant. State’s Attorney McComas said, how- ever, that Mrs. Singleton was not positive about the clothing. The stains on the clothing of Neal, which at first were thought to be blood stains, were found to be stains from Strawberries. State Police Hunt Clues. The state police, under command of Corp. Kline, are now working on the case, and it was said they have unearthed some clues that may lead to the identification of the assailant. It was announced here today that Ssoveral more state policemen will be sent here to nip in the bud any out- breaks that mdy occur. 2 Think Guilty Man at Large. There was no repetition here tonight of Friday's disordor, when . elasn b twecn several white men and a party of armed negroes was narrowly averted. It is thought that the prompt arrest last night of Shirley Harvey, colored, al- leged to be the leader of the party of armed negroes, acted as a quieting in- fluence upon the colored population of the vicinity, and no further trouble is anticipated. While three negroes are now under arrest on suspicion of having perpe- trated the assault; none of them has been identifled by Mrs. Singleton, and it is felt here that the guilty man has not yet been apprehended. FPolice are still searching for some new clue, but posses have discontinued their tours of the neighborhood. —_— Tl'xe Senate. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. The packer bill for the regula- tion by the government of the meat packing business wijll hold the center of the stage in the Sen- ate this week, with its considera- tion likely to be interrupted now and then by discussion of confer- ence reports on the Army and Navy appropriation bills. The sec- ond deficiency appropriation bill is in its final legislative stages and as soon as the two houses have given their approval to the con« ference report that measure, which contains the Curtis emergency school building program for the District, will be sent to the Presi- dent for his approval. That the packer bill will pass the Senate is the prediction of its sup- porters. The opponents of the measure probably will concentrate their efforts largely upon having the House bill accepted by the Sen- ate, rather than the bill reported by the Senate committee on agri- culture a substitute. The Sen- ate committee bill is declared to be much more drastic than the House bill. The conferees on the Army bill have made some progress, and the House conferees have agreed to recommend to the House that the Sutherland amendment providing $200,000 for beginning work.on an increased water supply for the District be accepted. The Norris amendment providing for a simi- lir sum for beginning work on the proposed Great Falls waterpower plant, however, the House con- ferees will ask the House to re- Jject, on the ground that it is not an emergency measure and is not properly in the Army bill. So far as the Navy bill is con- cerned. the conferees have made practically no progress in settling the dispute over the Senate in- creases in personnel and appro- priations and over the disarma- ment amendment. Senate committees will be busy this week. The District commit- tee Wednesday will endeavor to frame a bill to extend the opera- tion of the Ball rent act beyond October. As soon as that has been disposed of, the committee will tackle the street railway merger tangle. The joint committee on reorgan- ization of the executive depart- ments is to hold its first meeting since the election of Walter F. Brown, the President's representa- tive on the committee. tomorrow. Senator Sterling, chairman of the Joint meetings of the Senate and House civil service committees, plans to reopen the hearings on re- classification to hear a few more witnesses. It is his hope that as . soon as all the hearings have been printed the two committees will then get down to work on a re- classification bill The Senate finance committee ‘may report out a soldier adjusted compensation bill. DRY BILL INDORSED. Mount Pleasant Branch, W. C. T. U., Meets at Cherrydale. Resolutions indorsing the supple- mental prohibition bill pending in The House. BY WILL P. KENNEDY.

There is a road bill that may be taken up. and the committee on military affairs is seeking action in re- gard to certain camps. By unanimous vote the House ap- proved the Sweet bill Friday, pro- viding for the consolidation of all services for relief of the service men. The House District committee has given assurance that it will force a reduction of street car fares and gas charges in the Na- tional Capital. Several meetings were held during the week, at which the District Commissioners, as the Public Utilities Commission, were censured for not administer- ing the law. The Commissioners were called before the committee Friday night and told that they must reduce fares or Congress would pass a bill specifically order- ing them reduced. Representative Gallivan, demo- crat, of Massachusetts, caused a sensation Friday by introducing a resolution denouncing Admiral Sims as _“an undesirable alien.” The House had a program of eulogy’ vesterday as a_send-off to Representative James W. Good of Towa, who has been chairman of the agpfppriations committee for more thdh'two years, and who led the fight for the institution of a federal budget system. Mr. Good has resigned to practice law in Chicago. His colleagues presented him with a silver service. ‘The first installment of the War rtment's official list of “slack- appeared Wednesday in the Congressional Record. A resolution which would prevent the Dempsey-Carpentier, or any other fight, until former soldiers had received a bonus from the government was introduced Wed- nesday by Representative Gallivan of Massachusetts. Representative Dyer of Missouri introduced a bill to create two new Justices for the Supreme Court of the District. Chairman Focht of the House District committee introduced Fri- day a bill identical with that in- troduced in the Senate by Senator Capper of Kansas, providing for a school census and extending the compulsory school age from four- teen to sixteen years. Secretary Mellon, before the banking and currency committee Tuesday. urged legislation placing $50.000,000 at the disposal of the federal farm loan board for relief of agricultural interests.

There wcore numerous casualties and many buildings were damaged, -in cluding the konak, the official resi- dencs of the government. The. historic capital is again re- sounding to the hum of military ac- tivity,.on the eve of what may prove to be a decisive conflict for the domi- nation of Asia Minor, with the Greeks on the one hand and the Turkish nationalists on the othor, as the most active combatants. The city is crowded with allied forces and ad- ditional British troops are arriving from Malta, while the imposing Franco- British fleet is on the scene. From the Armenian frontier on the one side and the Ionian sea on the other the bpposing armies are re- ported marching to the impending bat- tles over this ancient fighting ground, which has echoed from time immemo- rial to the tramp of opposing forces and the clash of arms. Effort for Peace. Regardless of the sanguinary history of the last seven years, all the forces i volved are going ahead with their mili- tary preparations in apparent cheerful- ness, proclaiming confidence in their arms. Over at Angora, the Turkish nation- alist seat of .government, Henri Frank- lin-Boullon is making an effort on be- half of the French government to patch up a peace with the militant organi- zation of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, whose government repudiated the agreement made by its representatives in Europe for a settlement of the outstanding dif- ficulties with the French. (In this con- nection it may be noted that a Paris dispatch of June 10 quoted Premier Eriand as declaring that the progress of the negotiations between Framce and the Turkish nationalists gave reason for hope of a favorable settlement). Declarations are heard here also by representatives of all sides that they wre anxious for psace, but while the word “peace” is frequently heard, it is far from being present in fact at the moment, and few indications are evident here that there is much pros- pect of realizing it for the trowbled near east. Bolsheviki Concentrate. Thus far bolshevik troops in large numbers have joined the nationalists, but they are watching and have ready several divisions for the Turks, with a distinct offer of twelve. The bol- shevik concentrations in Bessarabia also may be used if the opportunity presents. The béginning of the offensive, it is feared here, will be the signal for new outrages by bandits and irregu- lar troops in Thrace and Asia Minor on the part of both the Turks and the Greeks. The Greek population in Samsun and other points is being de- ported into the interior and 3,000 Ar- menians have been deported by the {Turks from Bilejik and other places in the Brussel zone. KING LEAVES FOR FEONT‘. Bound for Smyrna. ATHENS, Greece, June 11.—King Constantine left Greece for Smyrna today on board the old United States battleship Idaho, rechristened the Lemnos. He was accompanied by Crown Prince George, Prince Andrew, Prince Nicholas, Premier Gounaris, Minister of War Theotokis, Minister of Marine Mavromichaelis, and Gen. Douemanis, chief of staff of the army. The king will arrive in Smyrna early Sunday. It is not known how long he will remain, but it is believed he will visit all parts of the Greek front in Anatolia and take an active part in the direction of the operations in the event the predicted offensive against the Turkish nationalists is pianned.

Do the people of the nation’s capital intend to see the maples and poplars that line their streets killed by insect pests for the lack of $200? Does the city of Washington, which has the greatest and finest tree population on earth, intend to see these trees give up thelr fight for life without coming to their aid? Following the editorial in The Evening Star yesterday the American Forestry Association presented its check to The Evening Star for $50 to help buy the needed spraying ma- terial. The check will be forwarded to Supt. and parking department. The asso- ciation urges citizens’ associations to rally quickiy to the aid of the trees and make up the needed $200. “This is certainly an astounding situation as set forth in The Evening Star's editorial,” said P.
