When he arrived on the front platform, however, witnesses stated, he declared' that he had re- spect for the uniform which the po- liceman wore and he had a lady with him. Therefore, Moore was declarad by witnesses to have stated his dc- sire to meet the policeman some other time when the latter was aut in uniform and when he himself was unaccompanied by a lady. At this juncture, the arrest took place. Testimony _averred that Spalding, aided by Bremmerman, and the motorman, as well as by two policemen outside the car, dragged Moore from the street car and started to the patrol box with him. This happened at Georgia avenue and Irv- ing street. A number of witnesses testified that they left the car at the next stop and on returning to Irving street, found Moore lying un- conscious, with his head bieeding and, according to onme witness, with blood flowing from his ears, nose and mouth.

This is the first time in the history of the cadet organization that the cadets have had their own band at a competitive drill.

OFFICIALS REECT head of nerviee, GERNANY WOULD NOT JOIN LEAGUE Proposal* of Britain and France Snubbed, Says George Witte. BY GEORGE WITTE. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Dally News. Copyright, 1 BERLIN, June 3—Britain and France recently anounced that they would ask the league of nations to admit Germany as a member if the later proved her good faith in carry- ing out her reparations pledges. If those countries imagined that the Germans would go wild with joy and at once begin drafting a petition for admission to the league they have a great disappointment in store for them. Germany received the news with indifference, shrugged her shoulders and promptly forgot about it. The big newspapers ignored it with the exception of the reaction- ary dailies and the comic wee which ridiculed the salemn way which the dispatch was worded. Prof. Ludwig Stein, diplomatic ex- pert af the Berlin Vossische Zeitung, who has excellent sources of infor- mation in Wilhelmstrasse. said to me today that Germany did not really care whether or not she was permit- ted to join the league. ‘Our ‘view,” he declared, “is that without the United States and Russia the league is of too small conse- quence to be able to settle weighty questions of international politics conclusively. Then, too, we would insist on being permanently repre sented on the council of the league.’ In Russian soviet circles in Berlin 1t is declared that Moscow is giv- ing no thought to the question of entering the league. RATE BILLS DELAYED. Senate Committee Acts on Capper and Other Measures. Action on bills by Senator Capper of Kansas, Nicholson of Colorado, and others to restore rate-making and other powers to the state railway commis- sions, was postponed indefinitely yes- terday by the Senate interstate com- merce committee. Senator LaFollette, republican, Wisconsin, however, gave notice that he would endeaver to have the legislation brought before the Sen- ate soon through a motion to discharge the committee from its consideration. j A committee majority, it is said, be- lieved that with the jam of other legis- lation ini Congress, it would be impos- sible to secure action on th ebills during the present session. Also results are expected from conferences between the Interstate @ommerce Commission and representatives of the state commissions looking to agreements to end conflicts of jurisdiction. FRATERNITY BANQUET. The Marshall Chapter of Chi Psi Omega Fraternity, American Univer- sity, held its annual banquet at the Franklin Square Hotel last night. Bishop John W. Hamilton, chancellor of the university, spoke of ‘the origin and conception of the university, its growth and plans for the future. Other speakers were Col. Ford, Dr. Frederic Juchoff, dean of the school of business administration at the uni- versity; Mr. Clay, grand chancellor of Chi Psi Omega; Dr. Charles Tran- zill, professor of history, and Prof. Whitney, William and Mary's College, one of the founders of Chi Psi.

The action was taken by a vote of 12 to 9, In executive session, and was interpreted by committeemen gene ally as being in effect -bu the pre- liminary skirmish to what promises to become a bitterly contested battle between the proponents and Oppo- nents of the Ford offer in the House. In arriving at its final decision the committee decided to eliminate from the proferties covered in the Ford offer the steam plant at Gorgas, Ala., and agreed with W. B. Mayo and J. W. Worthington, representatives of the Detroit manufacturer, upon new language regulating the manufacture of fertilizers. In all other respects the Ford offer was fully approved. Sees Victory for Ford. Mr. Mayo \declared when advised of the committee action that despite elimination of the Gorgas plant he regarded the results announced as a decisive victory for Mr. Ford and that a more determined effort than ever before now would be made to obtain the properties. To agree upon every T was Amei detail involved in the negotiations, except one, was a distinct achieve- ment, Mr. Mayo added, particularly since the discuesions had been ex- tended over so long a period of time— more than a year since they were first begun at the War Department He expressed warm appreciation for the ~“courteous and conscientious work done by the committee from the time it began consideration of the subject.” Two other developments in Con- gress affecting Muscle Shoals oc- curred while the committee was in session. The House instructed its conferees on the Army appropriation bill to report back to it what decision they reached with the Senate on the amendment providing $7,500,000 for continuation of work on the Wilson dam, so that a uepnrale vote might be had. Favofs Pri .le Development. JIn the Senate agriculture commit- tée Oscar C. Merrill, officer of the Federal Power Commission, testified that _ the Muscle Shoals projects should be completed and put in op- eration, preferably by private enter- prise. . If the government decided 1o opefate the properties, Mr. Merrill said, he believed the bill by Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the committee, probably offered the best method of dealing with the projects. The House committee also decided to meet again Monday for the pur- pose of preparing a report reciting fts opinion of the Ford and other pro- posals. PRESIDENT GETS PLEA.

President Harding and Congress were urged to accept Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals by a memo- rial from a recent Muscle Shoals con- ference presented yesterday at the White House and to the House mili- |tary affairs committee and the Senate agricultural committee. The memorial, which declare Ford propesal to be the only quate one pending,” was presented to President Harding by former Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, now of Wash- ington, and Dr. Clarence J.
