By the Associated Press. BELGRADE, November 20.—All re- ports that King Alexander has any intention of ablicating may be put dcwn as pure fiction, he declared yesterday. The king has never given the slightest thought to the subject. and indeed it may be said that no cause ever existed for such a step. The young Serbian ruler already has aken the oath to support the con- itution, and his coronation probably will occur soon after cempletion of the new palace, which is expected to be ready for the event some time next summer. Forecast “Quite Absurd.” The King, in an interview granted to an Associated Press correspondent, declared that stories forecasting his abdication were quite as absurd as other reports concerning him while in Paris. He said his health was cellent, and that he was glad to get back to Jugoslavia, take up the reins of government and help in the solution of the country’s problems. His robust, fresh appearance. quick ep and buoyant, cheerful spirit en- ely supported his statement that s in excellent physical con- dition. Proposes to Float Loan. The Jugoslav budget for 1922 is more than six billion dinars, and to meet the increase in appropriations the government contemplates fioat- ing an internal loan of one billion dinars at 6 per cent and to increase taxes by 100 per cent. The paper money of the country now outstand- ing amounts to 41,500,000.000 dinars. ing Alexander has declined to ac- | cept anincrease in his civil list which would bring it from 1,500,000 dinars to 3000000, on the ground of the country’s need of economy. (A dinar normaily is equal to about 20 cents.) —_— BRYAN RAPS COLLEGES. Declares Many Are Turning Young Men Into Agnostics.

NGHT SHOOLS Separate Staff of Teachers and Awarding of Diplomas * Are Considered. Reorganization of the District pub- lic night schools on a permanent basis is being considered seriousiy by school authorities. The proposed re- organization, it was said today by of- ficials, may be undertaken in the near future and completed by next October, When the evening schools open for the mew term. One of the outstanding changes contemplated in the reorganization is to award diplomas to graduates of the night high schools, similar to those given to graduates of the day high schools. Thus, persons forced to leave school in early life will be given an opportunity to obtain a diploma by attending the night schools. ‘Would Create Regular Staff. Another change proposed is to create a regular staff of night school teachers and not depend upon the day school teachers to teach the evening schools, as is done at present. In discussing this phase of the reorgan- ization it was pointed out by the of- ficials that pupils in the night schools are entitled to a “fresh” teacher, as well as those in the day schools. It was emphasized that many of the night school teachers now teach in the day schools and are “too tired and worn out” to do effective work in the night schools. Awarding of diplomas to graduates of the night schools, officials believe, will attract hundreds of adults to these institutions who were denied the opportunity of completing their high school courses. It also is con- tended that the prospect of obtaining a diploma will give the night school students an added incentive to study. Students in the night schools now are awarded certificates giving them credit for the work completed. These certificates, however, are given only to persons taking the special credit courses in preparation for college. New York Adopts Plan. Washington is one of the few large cities in the United States in which graduatés of the night schools are not awarded diplomas. Recently the New York evening schools decided to award diplomas to their night schoo] graduates, and other cities are pxa} ning to adopt the same plan, it is said. In granting diplomas to evening school graduates it is not the inten- tion of the officials to encourage d: high school students to abandon their classes to take the night courses and thereby obtain the same objective. ne plan will be worked out where- by this will be prevented, according to the officials SUSPENDED FROM DUTY. Probationary Policeman Charged ‘With Intoxication. J. W. Lence, a probationary police- man, was suspended from duty yes- terday afternoon and charged with being under the influence of liquor while on duty. Having failed to make his usual c: from patrol boxes, Sergt. Harry was sent out to investi- gate, and he reported finding Lence at 2d and C streets northeast in a condition which unfitted him for po- lice duty. Capt. James Hartley of the ninth precinct recommended to Acting Chief of Police Daniel Sullivan that Lence be dropped from the force.

N i Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va,, November Concealed beneath the bunk of two fellow prisoners, in a cell other than the one in which he had been orig- Inally placed, William H. Oehlert, held for the fatal shooting of Henry Bris- coe in Fairfax county October 15, was found yesterday morning, al- though a wide search was in progress for the prisoner, who was supposed to have escaped from the jail at Fair- fax Court House early Friday morn- Ing. The discovery of Qehlert was made by Glennon Cross, the four-year-old son of Jailor Harvey Cross. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning Jailor Cross was serving breakfast to the prisoners, and when he came to the cell occupied by two young white men and opened it and handed them their breakfast, his little son en- tered the cell and observed a hand protruding from beneath the bunk s 1and casually remarked to his father, ' this efl!.lJAllor Cross pulled up Daddy, Mr. Oehlert is under there. the blanket and found Oehlert crouching under the bunk. Second Attempt to Eseape. Oehlert last' night at 8:30 o'clock made a second attempt to escape and his plans this time were frustrated by a colored prisoner, who occupied a cell adjoining that of Oehlert. The prisoner'’s name is Willlam Gregg, and when Gregg heard the noize made by the hacksaw he lustily cried for Jailor Cross. Oehlert had succeeded in completely sawing off the iron shackles which had a few hours be- fore been placed about the legs to prevent any further attempt to escape. The hacksaw with which he ghth Street | did the work had been concealed be- 0| neath the floor of the cell, it is stated. Oehlert from now on will be guarded both day and night. According to Jailor Cross, Oehlert was supplied with seven hacksaws and an improvised wrench, which he made out of a piece of iron pipe which he sawed from an iron bunk of a cell which he occupied. This wrench he is supposed to have got- ten to two voung white men who oc- cupied a cell on the first floor of the jail. With the wrench some one suc- ceeded in wrenching the hasp holding the big lock of Oehlert's cell. This being accomplished Oehlert had free- dom “to the corridor. He next ag. tacked the stout iron bar of the win- | dow of the jail. He succeeded fn bending one of the bars and twist ing it out of shape. Carefully Laid Plans. while sufficiently large to protrude his head, was not large enough for his body to go through, consequently he decided to postpone his efforts to escape, daylight about that time hav- ing set in.” Accordingly he returned to the cell occupled by the young men to make believe that he had escaped. He kept under cover, and they pre- tended, the jailer says, to have heard no noise that night.” Since Friday he had subsisted on food furnished him by these two prisoners, they having divided with him at each meal. Jailor Cross thinks Oehlert intended to make his escape this morning when According to Oehlert, the opening.! PUTS POSTAL SERVICE AT DISPOSAL OF THOSE SEEKING LOVED ONES Postmaster General Hays wishes that “the machinery of the postal service be placed at the disposal of those searching for loved ones who have dropped out of sight.” He therefore has directed post- masters to scrutinize and investi- gate carefully each case reported to them of missing persons, and, when convinced of the genuine- ness of the case, to make inquiries of other postmasters and advise interested relatives or friends.

BY EDWARD PRICE BELL. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1 LONDON, England, November 21.— Popular anxiety concerning the sit- uation in India is manifested througn- out Great Britain. Even the best in- formed officials admit the disquieting nature of the outlook generally, but avoid making predictions. Tens of thousands of loyal Britishers are alive to the strain which the Indian disturbances must exercise upon the Prince of Wales. Great and unique as have been the demonstrations favorable to him at Bombay and Poona, where the multitudes showered the royal visitor with rupees, gold, silver and flowers, it is felt that the prince cannot clear his mind of the haunting possibility of a political and social upheaval far exceeding any- thing yet in evidence. Comment on “Mass Disobedience.” The prince’s declaration that “mass disobedience” has failed suggests no definite opinion to Indian officials n London. At the Indian office this morning an expert said to this cor- respondent: “Ghandi's trouble is that he has whipped up an agitation he cannot con- trol. We can foretell nothing. Poasibly Ghandi and men of like mind and tem- perament have learned a lesson, namely, that India has not that national con science which is requisite to self-con trol. What we actually expect are local disturbances more or less serious, but no general welter of anarchy and de- struction. “One after another of Ghandi's items in his program of mass disobedience or non-co-operation has failed. His edu- cational policy failed. His edict against buying foreign cloth failed. In spite of thim the lawyers and doctors went on Ipracticing and accepting fees, the pco- | ple continued to e the railways and telephones and civilization generally car- ried on. What he aimed at was the { wholesaie paralysis and. utter breal down of government and social life.” trial and no one would be about the jail. Ochlert was supposed to have fled from the jail early Friday morning. The empty cell and the twisted iron bar of the jail window were evidence that a prisoner had fled. The entire countryside was searched and re- wards aggregating $350 were offered for Oehlert’s apprehension. Circulars giving a_description of the supposed the two prisoners in question would be taken over to the courthouse for fugitive had been printed and were Leing sent out broadcas: ACCUSES FATHER IN TRIPLE MURDER Ten-Year-0ld Son Witnessed | Firing of Shots Which ‘ Killed Three. |DENIES RESPONSIBILITY Prisoner States He Is Victim of | Circw ces in Connection | With Slayings. | BY tie Associated Press.
