The entry polnt to the park selected | by the President was Cedar City, and | his train left for there shortly be- fore midnight last night from Sa't| Lake City, after the chief executive had concluded his sixth prepared ad- dress of the trip. | Crowd Overflows Tabernucle. filled the big Mormon Tabernacle, seating 12,000, and overflowed into the temple grounds and the assembly hall near- by, heard the President discuss two subjects—one of which was taxation, which he selected prior to the begin- ning of his trip because of Utah be- ing the home state of Chairman Smoot of the Senate finance com- mittee. The other eubject was the adminis- tration proposal for American mem- | bership in the Permanent Court of International Justice and was dis- | cussed by Rim in an extemporanecous | addition to his prepared addre: | The President. in the taxation por- | tion of his address, outlined what the American government has accom- .

But, | he ‘added, the United States, under | the stress of post-war adjustment, | had drifted from its aspiration. ‘Wants to End War. “I want America to have some- thing of a spiritual ideal” the chief executive then asserted. “I am seek- ing American sentiment In favor of an international court of justice. I want America to play her part in helping the world to abolish war.” Arriving in Salt Lake about noon yesterday, the President was greeted by school children in Liberty Park | after a tour of the business district and then went to a hotel where he recefved approximately 3,000 persons | at a public reception. The chief executive got the first full afternoon of recreation of the trip here today. Immediately after luncheon he went out to the Salt YTake Country Club for a game of golf, remaining there until dinner time. Gift to Mry. Harding. Mrs. Harding later received a com- mittee of Utah women who presented to the first lady a brooch of anapice, a Utah semi-precious stone, mount ed in Utah-mined gold, and designed | in the form of the Sego lily, the state Sfower.

Continued Refusal of Foreign Ships to Obey Law May Bring Drastic Action. LAW GIVES OFFICIALS RIGHT TO TAKE VESSEL Fear Such Step Might Result in International Crisis Delays Decision. A new regulation, prohibiting ‘the bringing of liquor into Ameri- can waters after a certain advance date mext month, under penalty of scisure of the liquor-carrying ship and arrest of its captain, is under- #tood to have virtually been agreed upon today as a result of comfer- ences among officials here. Seizure by the United States of forelgn vessels bringing in liquor in violation of the Supreme Court de- cision and Treasury regulations is understood to have been considered in a series of conferences today be- tween Treasury and prohibition officials. Thus far there has been no at- tempt to do more than confiscate the liquor itself, but some of the officlals who sat in the conferences are under- 5tood to have urged that more drastic steps should be adopted if foreign shipping companies are to continue their policy of openly disregarding the Treasury »ling against bringing liquor stores into American jurisdic- tion. No decision was announced. Participating in the conferences were Acting Secretary Gilbert and Assistant Secretary Moss of the Treasury Department, tives of the State Department. Com- missioner Blair of the internal rev- enue bureau, Assistant Prohibition Commissioner ~Jones, representing Commissioner Haynes, and Chief Counsel Britt of the prohibition unit. Seriously Considered. It was pointed out that the Volstead act requires the seizing of ships car-, rying liquor fllegally, and the arrest of their masters, but that the Ameri- can government had been disposed to be patient, and content itself so far with seizing only the contraband five years of war for the L -, - ende of the country has-given Thern mo‘W- But in-view of the constant right to declde who should belong to ' stream of ships arriving in violation the assembly; others see the possibility | of obtaining pleasant and remunerative ! employment after the demobilization. 1st army and one of Kemal Pasha's most trusted officers, announced on Monday that he was an independent candidate for the national assembly, The resuits of the election of members of the new assembly will be known offi- cially before the end of the week.

TREATY OPEN TO SOVIETS. Straight Terms Would “Bring Russia Back to Europe.” By the Ascociated Press. LAUSANNE, June 27.—The allies to- day took another step toward “bring- ing Russia back to Europe” by a de- cision to invite the soviets to sign the Turkish straits convention when the Lausanne treaty Is ready for sig- nature. The terms for opening the straits to foreign warships were arranged at the first conference here, but Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Russia, who was a delegate. objected to this agreement. The soviet since that time, and particularly during the ex- citement following the assassination here of the soviet envoy Vorovsky, have contended that Russia never re- entitled to representation in the pres- ent conference. The allies are curious to see how Russia will greet the present invitation. The Ottoman debt problem, set for discussion today, was again delayed, as the instructions expected by the French delegates from the govern- ment were not recelved. The British and French still have several points of difference that must be harmon- ized, for the allies are determined to present the Turks with a complete accord on this point which is regard- ed as crucial for the treaty. The British say the Turks seem more re- ceptive to the allied demand that the foreign concessions must be protected. JUGOSLAV PREMIER ESCAPES ASSASSIN Attempt Made to Kill Pachitch on Leaving Parliament, Dis- patch Says. LONDON, June 27.—A Central News despatch from Belgrade says 8ix shéts were fired at the Jugoslavian premier, Nikola Pachitch, as he was leaving parliament, but that he es- caped unharmed. A man named Rajitch was arrested. “The Evil | ing of the regulations, it was sald, a sharp change of policy was under serious consideration. The government has been willing to have the foreign lines flle suits to test thelr right to bring in liquor under their governments' customs seals, but, so far, no steps for such a_ test have been taken. A problem of warehousing the seized liquor is threatened. among other things, and some officials are said to be ready to apply the full force of the law to end the situation now prevailing in New York harbor. Phrasing Definite, In its provisions for dealing with ships or other carriers which trans- port liquor illegally the Volstead act is phrased in It provides that whenever intoxicat- liguor illegally transported is seized by any officer of the law, “he shall take possession of the vehicle and train or automobile, boat, air or water craft, or any other conveyance, and shall arrest any person in charge thereof.” It is stipulated further that proceedings shall be brought against the Person so arrested, and that the “vehicle or -conveyance” seized shall be released under bond of double tre value of the property, but shall be returned later to the cus- tody of the government on the day of trial, and in case of a conviction shall be sold at public auction and | the proceeds pald -into the United States Treasury. Confiscation in this foreign fleet which has brought liquor into New York, including as it does some of the largest and finest liners in the transatlantic service. would be in the opinion of some officials here a step frought with many serious considerations. At the same however, some legal authoritles are known to hold that the provisions of the law are mandatory, and that nothing but a desire to stretch a point for the sake of International comity can afford the offending liners protec- tion. In support of that view, it is pointed out that in many cases this government has applied the confis- catory clause drastically to captured rum runners fling foreign flags. Immediate Action, It was indicated by some officials today, however, that even if it were decided to seize the liquor-carrying ships as well as tneir stock of in- toxicants, the new policy would not be carriéd immediately into effect. Due notice, it was said, would be given the forelgn shipping lines, so that they would know precisely 'the risk they were running in continuing to enter American waters with con- traband. _— EX-EMPEROR’S PALACE N PEKING IS BURNED Native and Foreign Firemen Bat- tle in Vain to Save Structure in Forbidden City.

Richter, took off from Rockwell Field at KEY BRIDGE END NEARS COMPLETION | Wing Walls, Slightly Sunk, Being Underpinned on Rock Foundation. The southern end of the Virginia approach to the Francls Scott Key bridge at Georgetown gradually is nearing completion. Two asphalt roads, one for northbound and the otoher for southbound traffic, lead {from the bridge proper to the Mill. tary road to Fort Myer and Arling. ton and connect at Hume avenue with the Lee highway. These two roads |are semi-circular and border th { outer sides of the railroad loop to be | constructed on the bridge approach by the Capital Traction Company. The west road, designed for out- bound traffic, June 1. The cast road, designed for !inbound trafc, is practically finished {and will be opened in a few days. The | temporary road in_the middle of the approach, now used for inbound traf- fic, will then be discontinued. The space thus acquired will be utilized for extending the Capital Traction tracks from the bridge and around the terminal loop. Has Terminal Station. The Washington and 0ld Dominion Rallway Company has built a ter- minal station on the west roadway of the bridge, near Hume avenue, and the Washington and Virginia Rallway Company is remodeling its terminal station alongside the east roadway, near Hume avenue. The tracks of the 0ld Dominion line, which cross the Lee highway at that point, are being relaid to meet changed conditions. That work has involved the filling of a deep ravine on the western side of the govern- ment reservation. The use of the old Aqueduct bridge by the 0ld Dominion line to reach the present terminus of that line in Georgetown will be discontinued when the rallroad ter- minals at Rosslyn are put in opera- tion, During the progress of the work on the Virginia approach it was found {that the concrete-wing walls, bullt on | the deep fill made for the old Aque- jduct bridge approach about eighty years ago,” had settled as much as seven inches since their emplacement about two years ago. These walls are entirely on land and extend a dis- tance of about 132 feet from the southern abutment of the bridge. ‘The plers and abutments of the bridge were built on rock formation in the bed of the river and show no change whatever in alignment, but the wing walls on the Virginia shore were constructed on a foundation of concrete piles. There may be no fur- ther settiement of the walls, but, as er of extreme precaution, it n_deemed advisable to under- pin the walls with concrete plers on rock foundation. That strengthening involves sinking three deep shafts to bed rock, work that is now in prog- ress. According to Maj.

Operations started about two years ago, just after Mgr. O'Brien, beloved by his parishioners of southeast Washington, where he had devoted thirty years of his life, had celebrated lthe fiftieth anniversary of his ordin- jation as a priest. According to Mr. Donohue, at the time, two men came to him and wormed themselves into his confi- dence. They Induced him to invest in a stock scheme which afterwards proved worthless. From that time on, the aged priest was the prey for swindlers. One step led to another, all the time with implicit confidence placed in the swindlers, and the cli- max came shortly before Christmas of last year. After losing thousands of dollars in various fake schemes, Mgr. O'Brien called Mr. Donohoe to his study. “Ive been fleeced,” he said. “T've been swindled out of rdon't know how much money and I want to deed my farm in West Virginia to you Take the money from it, scrutinize all bills carefully, pay every legitimate’ bill, and turn the remainder of the money over to the congregation.” To say that Capitol Hill was stunned at the disclosures which were brought about through a suit against the O'Brien estate in West Virginia by the holders of some of the notes Voight|signed by the priest is to minimize the actuality.

NEW YORK, June 27.—Another wave of short selling and liquldation occurred In today's stock market, pushing more than fifty stocks down to the lowest prices of the year, in- cluding many representative issues. While the selling was not in large volume, it was so persistent as to indicate that much of it came from discouraged investors. Brokers re- ported many orders for the selling of 0dd lots, less than 100 shares, which gave color to reports of public liqui- dation. Practically all of the low-priced rail- road shares slumped 1 to 3 points, and such representative investment lssues as Union Pacific. Great Northern, Southern Pacific, Reading and Northern Pacific sank to new low levels.

REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF EMPLOYES POSSIBLE Limited Appropriations May Force Some Men Out to Pay Higher Hour Rates. An average increase of 10 per cent over the prevailing schedule has been recommended by the Navy wage board in its report of a new scale for employes of the Washington and other navy yards, effective July 1. It is understood that the report will be officially promulgated Satur- day. Details of the changes as they will affect individual yards have been sent to the varjous commandants and will be made public by them. May Cut Personnel. In view of the limitation on pay set by available appropriations, i was prelicted at the department to- day that the increase recommended would necessitate a reduction in per- sonnel at many of the shore stations. This ruling, if approved, will rai the wages of approximately 2,400 em- ployes of the local navy yard and the vicinity. Machinists, in the majority of the classification of workers, are at pres- ent getting 73 cents. The new scale will probably set the rate at 80 cen This is an increase of 2 cents over the recommendation of the Washington navy yard wage board, but it i cents per hour less than the 85 cents requested by the men at the general hearing.

The association addressed another communication to the Commissioners stating that agents of the organiza- tion are now engaged in a detailed study of the entire parking situation in the District and the effects of one- way streets, and that all information thus collected will be placed at the disposal of the city authorities. Speaking of the proposed ban on all-night parking in front of homes the association wrote: “Our mind is entirely open as to the advisability of a regulation of this character. It has been brought to our particular attention that there is a question as to whether there is sufficient garage space in the District of Columbla to adequately take care of all storage that would be necessary if a regulation of this kind is put into effect.™ Both letters were referred by the Commissioners to Commissioner Oyster, who supervises all traffic matters. Special Parking Privileges. The association also will ask District Commissioners for a hearing at which to present a request for spe- cial parking privileges in restricted areas for physicians in performance of their dutles and the right of way for the cars of medical men when on an emergency call. This action was decided upon at a meeting of the Na- tional Capltal dlvision of the National Motors Association’ held at the Ed- monds building yesterday afternoon. The argument for the physicians was presented by Dr. E. G. Seibert, treasurer of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia and a member of the N. M. A. board. In voting in favor of the physi- clans the board took into considern- tion that the medical men do not ask for permission to exceed the speed limit at any time and that they agree to remove the emblem of the Amer- ican Medical Association from the car of any of their profession who may be found abusing special privi- leges. - It was pointed out that the plea of ‘the physicians is an indirect plea for the public and that every physi- cfan is a public servant when called in an emergency. Instances were cited where persons have died waiting for a physiclan who was delayed running several blocks to get his car and then losing valuable time hunting for a parking place. 1t was also pointed out that more and more cities are extend- ing this privilege to the medical men and that just recently in California such privileges were made statewide. the JANE ADDAMS UNDER KNIFE.
