The upsuccessful springing of a trap lald for Sam Harrls, wanted in New York for jumping his $25,000 bond on charges of promoting a “blind” pool, which is alleged to have cost victims millions of dollars, led to the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Raymond Fleishman, divorced couple, some weeks ago, on charges of tampering with the malls, it was disclosed today. Details of the arrest had not been given previ- ously. To trap Harris, who was believed to Dbe in the city, surety company opera- tives from New York and local detec- tives collaborated in dispatching a reg- istered letter to him to the home of Mrs. Fleishman. A return receipt was requested. When the receipt was re- turned to the senders they thought they had located Harrls. They discovered, however, that some one had reccived the letter for Har- The result was the arrest of Mrs. Fleishman, who was later re- leased under $3,000 bond pending a hearing, and Fleishman, who was at her home visiting his child, who was released under $1,000 bond, by De- tectives Thompson, Mansfleld, Darnall and Springman. Harris meanwhile had escaped the country, police belleve. An operator from ew York surety company, which provided the bond, had been in town a week trying to put his hands on Harris befcre calling in the local police. Some word of the presence of the operator reached the suspect, it Is believed Attorneys Paul Cromelin and Bo- litha Laws, who have been retained by Mrs. Fleishman, announced that the defense would show that she had re- ceived power of attorney to receive any mail addressed to any occupants of the house in which she lived.

September 14.—The Greco-Italian incident was virtually closed today when the French mini- ster to Greece called at the foreign office, where formal note was taken of the various measures of the repar- ations ordered by the council of am- bassadors, including the evacuation of Corfu by the Itallans September 27. The assurance that the Italians would quit Corfu has created intense satisfaction in the Greek circles. FRANCE IS MODERATOR. Mussolini Accepts Advice in Fiume Annexation. By Cable to The Star and Philadelphia Public Ledger. Copyright, 1923.) PARIS, September 15.—The battle of the Ruhr, the Italo-Greek and Italo-Jugoslav incidents and the Span- ish coup d'etat constitute sources of profound disquiet in Europe. The question is asked whether a recoll from democratic ideas has brought the continent into a danger- ous humor. Also whether such a pro- nunciamento as the Spanish generals launched yesterday is a new manifes- tation of militaristic spirit through- out the world. France for the immediate present continues to hold the key to the po- litical situation, and for this all credit 18 due to Premier Poincare. The pre- micr’s exhortation apparently has had a_considerable effect on M. Pachich | and the Belgrade government, and | there is a feeling that_the friendly | “advice” of France to Mussolini did not fall on deaf ears. Therefore, M. Poincaire's role of “moderator” in’the interests of European peace promises to be as successful in the case of Fiume as in the Corfu imbroglio. It is pointed out, furthermore, that Mussolini is loath to undertake any violent action o soon after the Corfu up and thus arouse fresh criticism { nd accusations-of Napoleonic ambi- tion. Moreover, milar action at Fiume would certainly again provoke the wrath of the league of nations,| which the Italian dictator now seems | to_be trying to avoid. Thus the Quay D'Orsay Is able today to confirm the report that the Italian government is willing to tackle the Fiume question by direct negotiations with Jugoslavia, excluding arbitration by the Swiss president, and there is a fair degree of confidence that an agree- ment will be reached which will elimi- | nate immediate danger of war. Italian circles, however, persist in the thought that, had not the Corfu af- (fair so unexpectedly developed, Musso- lini's intentions were to prociaim to- morrow the annexation of Fiume to Italy—the date when he claimed his “liberty of action.” Apparently all preparations had been made to carry out this program, and Mussolini was ready to deny both Jugoslavia and the world as unconcernedly as when he seized Corfu. $250,000 FIRE LOSS. ALLENTOWN, Pa. September 15.— Nearly all of the bulldings of the Phoenix Portland Cement Company at Nazareth, near here, were destroyed by fire last night. The damage was estimated at $250,000.

Cannibal Finches Caught In Hawdii Fill Cage at Zoo A cage full of cannibals, direct from a balmy South sea island and the only members of their species in captivity, is the latest addition to Washington’s Zoo. . They are Laysan finches, a tiny but ferocious species of bird that is found nowhere else in the world but on the little Island of Laysan, an uninhabit- ed bit of land in the middle of the Pacific ocean, at the extreme end of the Hawaiian archipelago. They were sent here by Dr. Alex- ander Whetmore of the Agriculture Department’s biological survey bu- reau, who has just returned to the Tnited States from a “business” trip to lonely Laysan. So far as is known, Dr. Whetmore is the first person suc- cessfully to capture any of the Lay- san finches alive, the only other rep- resentatives of the specles being stuf- ]frd ones in a London museum. Went to Kill Rabbits. Dr. Whetmore was sent to the island some months ago on an extraordinary mission. An English mariner visited Laysan some years before President Roosevelt declared it a gov- ernment bird reservation, abandoned two pet rabbits. In the years since that time the offspring of that cou- ple has multiplied so rapidly that mariners passing close to the rcoas reported the island “literally cover- ed” with them. ‘When_ investigation disclosed that the rabbits were destroying vegeta- tion faster than it could replenish it- self, Dr. Whetmore was ordered LABOR TURNS DOWN RUSS RECOGNITION Also Rejects Foster’s Pro- posal for Amalgamation and Party Formation.

By the Associated Pres MACON, Ga., September 15.—The case of Dr. C. A. Yarbrough, promi- nent Macon dentist, accused of being the leader in Macon's flogging out- rages through the past year and a half, is expected to be in the hands of the jury by noon today. He is charged in this instance with riot- ing in connection with the flogging on January 13 and November 4, 1922, of R. F. Mills, former Macon chirop- odist and barber. Today was the fifth day of the trial in Macon city court. Attorneys said that this was the most.lengthy trial of a misdemeanor charge In a court in Bibb county in many years. Dr. Yarbrough, admittedly a mem- ber of the Ku Klux Klan, was put on trial last Tuesday on the first of seven charges against him. Selection of the jury took up the first half day and the taking of evidence lasted HELD AT HAVANA PORT Captain Charged With Violating 3 Quarantine Regu- lations. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, Cuba.,’ September 15.— Phe American auxiliary schooner Mo- hawk and her captain and crew of three men were being held by Cuban port police today on charges of hav- ing violated port regulations in that the captaln, yho gave his name as 8.

The Mo- was said tq he New Xork, = until noon yesterday, the defense being virtually confined to an effort to discredit state witnesses through bringing out of allegations deroga- tory to their character. A number of the witnesses in behaif of the dentist, including his lgading counsel, John P. Rose, admitted their membership in 'the Ku Klux Klan, while others testi- fied they had made application for membership or asked they be not re- quired to answer the question. On the other hand, three members of the Ku Klux Klan, all employes of the Imeprial Palace at Atlanta, two of them detectives and the third a so- licitor of members or organizer in Macon, testified for the &tate. - The two detectives have beeén here for several weeks with M.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., September 15—Ten tentative 'jurors had been chosen for the trial of Walter S. | Ward, millionaire baker's son, charged with the murder of Clarence | Poter: ilor, when Justice Wag- ner concluded the third day of the trial yesterday by adjourning court juntil Monday morning, { Three possible members of the jury were selected from the forty-four examined during the day. Mrs. Beryl Curtis Ward, wife of the accused, was present and seemed more nervous than yesterday. This and the fre- guent” tilts between former Justice Isaac N. Mills of the counsel for the defen, nd Justice Wagner, marked | the day The ‘adjournment was taken after the defense had peremptorily chal- lenged the 121st man examined since the trial started. This exhausted the regular venire and a special panel of ' seventy-five talesmen has been ordered to report Monday. Legal Clashes Frequent. Clashes between Attorney Mills and Justice Wagner were frequent. Dur- ing examination of the first talesman of the day, Justice Wagner silenced Mills by pointing his finger at him, and declaring he “didn’t belleve he could be further enlightened” about the talesman. The ire of the justice was provoked again when Mills announced he had lost his skull cap. The trial was halted until it was discovered the at- torney had been sitting on it. Attorney General Sherman _an- nounced that Mrs. Ward had been subpoenaed for the state in the trial of her husband and not as a witness | before the extraordinary session of the grand jury when it resumes its inquiries Monday. Much speculation as to how far the attorney may go in endeavoring to get Mrs. Ward to testify against her husband has been caused by this. She can flatly refuse to testify against him. It was sald, however, that the state might be able to compe]l her to testify to certain facts in the case. The prisoner himself, although ap- parently more nervous than yester- day, smiled frequently. UNITED BRETHREN ELECT REV. J. H.

President and Mrs. Coolldge, ac- companied by thelr two sons and several guests, this afternoon will take a trip on the President's yacht Mayflower down the Potomac river. The Presidential party will return tonight. Frank W. Stearns of Boston, close personal friend of the President, 1s & house Ruest at the White House. Among those who called at the White House to see the President today were Sir Campbell Stuart of {the London Times, Representative L. C. Dyer of Missourl, father of the anti-lynching bill; G. W. Wilder, an alumnus of Amherst, the President's |alma mater, and Clarence J. Owens, | president of the Southern Commercial Congress. Discuss Missouri Polities. Mr. Dyer sald hie called at the White House primarily to pay his respects to the President: He said, however, there had been some discussion of ! Missourl_politics. He is preparing {three briefs on legislative matters which he will present to the Presi- dent later,one dealing with proposed anti-lynchfng law, —another with Chinese trade and a third with the to permit the manufacture and sale of 2.76 per cent beer. Mr. Dyer will be a candidate to succeed himself at the next election. Mr. Dyer while in Washington is making ‘arrangements for a visit of Lloyd George to Missourl. Clarence J. Owens, president of the Southern Commercial Congress, invit- ed the President, in the name of the governor of Virginia, to attend the international centennlal celebration of the Monroe Doctrine which is to take place in Richmond December 2-4. The late President Harding, Mr. Owens said, had tentatively accepted such an invitation, and President Coolidge had taken the matter under advisement. May Attend Cathedral Rites. President Cooliage nas taken under consideration an invitation to par- ticipate in the exercises to be held at the Washington Cathedral, September 30, incident to the consecration of the new bishop. The invitation was extended personaily, late yesterday afternoon, by Gen. John Pershing and Bishop Freeman. The President made it plain, however, if he attends he will not' make an address. President Coolidge has no intention of asking Congress to provide legis- lation which will give the Chief Ex- ecutive authority to use the armed torces of the tion 0 asss not enforcement of the prohibition law. Making known tne President’s po- sition, following the adverse opinion of Attorney General Daugherty re- garding, the use of the ships of the Navy in breaking up rum-running off the coast, a spokesman for the Presi- dent explained that the Executive not only questioned the wisdom of addi- tional legislation of this nature, but does not think the burden of govern- mental police work should be put on the Army and Navy. He regards it a: conceivable that a time might come when it would be desirable to use naval craft to prevent smuggling, but such use of war vessels should be resorted to with a great deal of hesitation. Enforcement of police regulations, the President belleves, should be shouldered by the regularly consti- tuted state and federal authorities. It was pointed out that it is only rarely that a state calls on its Na- tional Guard to perform police func- tions and that it rhould be seldom that the federal government used its armed forces for such work. LEAGUE MAINTAINS ARMANENT STAND Refuses to Change Article 2, Providing for Aid to Attacked. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 15.—Progress was made yesterday in the work of the league of nations assembly on the proposed international pact of mutual assistance, the aim of which is main- tenance of world peace, when several more articles were approved by the commiesion on reduction ofy arma- ments. Amendments to article 2 were re- jected. This article is practically a duplicate of the famous article 10. As approved today it calls upon the signatories to furnish assistance to any state which is attacked, on condi- tion that the country attacked has conformed to the pact stipulations concerning reduction of armaments. The league commission also adopt- ed article III, which provides that when any signatory power feels that another state has exceeded the arma- ments laid down by the pact, or threatens to open hostilities upon her, such state may appeal to the league. It also approved article IV, which au- thorizes the council of the league to decide within four ddys which state is the aggressor. The commission likewise adopted in principle _article V, which outlines the nature of the assistance to be accorded to an attacked country, and arranges for an economic and finan- cial boycott against the offending na- tion. “The action of the councll of ambas. sadors in settling the Greco-Italian dispute has been communicated to all the members of the league of nations, who now await a report from the coun- cil of the league on the question of the competency ,of the covenant of the league, which Italy refused to recog- nize. Both the Jugoslavian and Italian spokesmen said that they expected the Flume problem would be settied peace- fully by direct negotiation. In a public addres Lord Robert Cecil scourged those people who he sald 1dly attacked the league without, at the same time, suggesting some or- ganization to take its place on an equal or better footing. He declared that the league was not all-powerful and did not claim to be, but unless it could be built into a powerful and ef- fective institution the present genera- tion and future generations would live to regret it. |Gothamite Dies After Receiving Results of Figh J.

By the Associated Preas BERLIN, September 15.—Speaking in the reichstag, Minister of Finance Hilferding said, the expenditures on the Ruhr account had increased enor- mously and that the population in the occupled region was being largely supplied from the reich's exchequer. Capital for trade and industry in those regions, he asserted, must be provided to an ever-increasing extent; hence efforts must be made to solve the conflict by speedy negotiations. Cessation of Help Impossible.” Sudden cessation of help for the Ruhr population was impossible, the minister continued, but in view of the currency market, expenditures could not be continued on the present scale, although the curtaihent would be so conducted that the population would not suffer. Other expenditures must also be cut, Herr Hilferding asserted, adding that if the people did not realize that inflation was really the heaviest form of taxation, there would be no hope of salvation for Germany. Care should be taken, however, he said, not to start a panic against the paper mark, which was legal tender and could not become valueless. Herr Hilferding concluded his re- | marks with an appeal to the nation to avoid civil war and to hold out until a solution of the country's ex- ternal difficulties could be reached.

SCORES PROHIBITIONISTS FOR EFFORTS HERE The Association Against the Prohi- bition Amendment vesterday made public a statement by W. H. Stayton, founder and executive head, criticiz- ing the “efforts made by prohibitionists to line up President Coolidge against congressional modification of the Vol- stead aot, on the basis of past official acts and utterances.’’ 1 “Recourse has been made by the| drys,” Mr. Stayton said, “to Mr. Cool- idge's veto of an act passed by the Massachusetts legislature when he | was governor, in which the alcoholic | 1imit prescribed for wine and beer by | the Volstead act was set aside. This| veto, it has been claimed, indicates Mr. Coolidge’s belief that the laws of the | land cannot be modified to permlt the sale of beer and light win, : “In_his veto Gov. Coolidge re- frained absolutely from any expres- sion on_the merits of prohibition. He | referred, however, to the adoption of the prohibition amendment and to the act known as the Volstead act passed by Congress for its enforcement, and to the question of the constitutional- ity of both as existing at that time. | “Naturally, Mr. Coolidge as Presi- | dent stands for law enforcement, just | as he did as governor. So do law- abiding cltizens everywhere, including | all members of this association. “The prohibitionists themselves ad- mit that Mr. Coolidge has never pub- licly stated his views as to the move- ment to- liberalize the Volstead act. Efforts to distort his veto of the Massachusetts legislation into ap- proval of Volsteadism merely indicate the straits in which they find them- selves-and the desperate extremes to which they will go in their endeavors to fasten-that plece of fanatical legis- lation on the pegple.” In avoiding a collision with an au- tomobile going north on Sth street southeast, near E street last night, Aubrey Clagett of 1435 Good Hope road southeast, ran the motor cycle he was rfding-into an electric iight pole, breaking - it down.
