ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 20 (Special).—The price of gasoline has been' cut 2 cents by the wholesale companies in this city, bringing the price down to 18 cents plus the state tax of 3 cents a gallon. In many of the gas filling stations the price of gasoline to the consumer is 23 cents. This is the second made by the dealers here during the past few months. Representatives of the big oil companies stated today that they do not anticipate any fur- ther reductions. At a largely attended meeting of the retail merchants' bureau of the chamber of commerce last night, plans were mapped out for the Greater Alexandria Trade Exhibit, October 9, 10 and 11, for mercantile exhibits, and for automobiles Octo- ber 16, 17 and 18. The affair prom- ises to be one of the most successful exhibits ever staged by the merchants of Alexandria. Pageant to be Repeated. The pageant, entitled “A Dream of Queen Esther,” will again be re- peated tonight, for the third time. This action was decided upon at the| performance last night, owing to the fact that many requests were received by the committes for another pres- entation, many of those present be- lieving that a third showing would be well patronized. The performance last night was at- tended by a capacity audience, practi- cally all of the 1,600 seats being taken. The play, if anything, was even better than the opening night and was greatly enjoyed. All of the participants made a pronounced hit and received much praise for their work. The city market is belng given an annual clean-up. The work is being done by prisoners from the city jail under the direction of Policeman Mil- ler. Late yesterday afternoon the work was begun and will be continued each afternoon until the task is complete. Policeman Miller had the men remove thirty barrels of dirt and trash from the market and still more work is vet in sight, he says. Each stand in the part of the market which is inclosed is being a given general clean-up. Tax Office Hours. Collector of Taxes P. F. Gorman an- nounces that for the accommodation of those who have not yet paid their city taxes, his office will be open from 7 to 9 p.m. each evening for the con- venience of those unable to call dur- ing the day. Arrangements have been com- pleted for the formation of a branch of an auxiliary to the United Brother- hood of Carpenters and Joiners of America at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow plght at a meeting which will be held in the Carpenters and Joiners’ Hall at the southeast corner of Royal and Prince streets. The meeting will Dbe addressed by H. T. Colvin, this city, and Robert E. Reichard, the latter of Washington. Harvey Wade, chair- man of the committee of arrange- ments, will preside. The wives, moth- ers and sisters of carpenters are urged to attend and become identified with the new organization. The funeral of John M. Harlow, who dted Monday night at the residence of his mother, Mrs. Rose Harlow, 202 North Royal street, took place this morning from St.’ Mary's Cathollo Church. Services wers conducted by Rev.

The truth is that the reserves of the reichsbank are much less than is generally sup- sed. Responsible politicians are grad- ually awakening to a realization of the full extent of Cuno's blunders, which are coming to be regarded as nothing short of criminal The anger which is growing in political circles threatens to spread like a wave over the entire population. Already the demand is being raised that the for- mer chancellor and certain members of his cabinet be called to answer for their stewardship before a court of justice. Herr Cuno’s hurried trip to America after his recent resignation is declared in some quarters to have been in fact a flight to escape the consequences of his sins of commis- sion and omission. The principal accusations against him are: 1. That he financed Ruhr resistance almost wholly by the printing press, it having been established that for several months less than 2 per cent of the Ruhr expenditures was cov- ered by taxation. 2. Reckless expenditure of Ruhr funds, so that many grew rich at the people’s expense. 3. Encouragement—pasaive or, per- haps, active—of sabotage and other forms of active resistance, thus giv- Ing the French & pretext for ine taking of harsh measures, which eventually broke the resistance. It has been asserted by one respon- sible publio man that the Cuno cab- inet last April actually decided upon a goneral active attack on the French troops and were prevented only by the Prussian government, which was un- der soclalist influence. 4. That Chancellor Cuno, politi- caliy, was a child, and that he omitted many timely political measures which might have made passive resistance partially successful. The German people still are gen- erally {gnorant of recent events. But they must learn the truth within & week. Thelr anger then will be 50 violent that it may assume most seri- ous form unless it can be shunted onto the absent Cuno. 1 Archie B.

Amster of Boston, Mass., president of the Citizens National Railroad League, talked with the President today about the transpor- tation problem. When he left the White House Mr. Amster said he was convinced that the President would favor a consolidation of the rallroad systems of the country in line with the policy advocated by the late Pres- ident Harding. Senator Wadsworth of New York and William Barnes, a republican leader of New York state, called to pay their respects to the President. Many Other Visitors. Other visitors of the President to- day included Hon.

President Coolidge acquainted him- self in detall yesterda; with the work of the Tarifft Commission and the War Finance Corporation. He was clos eted for half an hour With the mem- bers of the commission, except Chair- man Marvin, who is absent from the city, and later conferred with Eugene Meyer, jr., managing director of the Finance Corporation. Informed of Terms. Members of the Tariff Commission said the President had been informed generally as to the terms of the tariff act of 1921 and the procedure of the commission in’ operating under the flexible provisions of that act. It was ‘indicated that none of the subjects which are points of controversy with- in the commission had been touched upon and also that there had been no specific discussion of the agricultural schedule in their possible bearing on the agricultural situation President Coolidge was quoted as having approved generally the work of the War Finance Corporation in extending ald to the farming indus- try through loans to banks. It was stated that the difficulties facing western wheat growers was not dis: cussed specifically, but attention was directed that the corporation was do- ing what it could to aid agriculture 81f along the line.

' “invisible.” Promise he would not, but intimate he apparently did. Mr. Baldwin has decided to remain in Paris until Friday. No definite accord is expected at this time. M. Poincare is understood, however, to have expressed a willing- ness to meet Premier Baldwin at Lon- don next month, after the opening of the British imperial conference, pro- vided limited agenda for discussion be carefully worked out in advance. At such a meeting details of a mora- torium on interallled debts would be discussed. Among other subjects, in addition to reparations, which were discussed at Wednesday's meeting of the pre- miers, the writer is informed, were the Italo-Greek situation and Italy's naval ambitions in the Mediterranean. That new life has been given to the Franco-British entente as a re- sult of the conference is assumed as certain by the French press. Full Accord Seem. “On no question is there any differ- ence of purpose or divergence of prin- ciple which impairs co-operation be- tween Great Britain and Francé,” reads a typical sentence on a com- munique issued after the interview. Specific optimism is contained in this sentence. It is more specific in its wording than most diplomatic com- muniques. But Great Britain and France agree on purpose and principle they still differ somewhat on method of pro- cedure. That is where the British concessions come in. There can be no doubt, that, under the fear of iso- lation, she will have to yleld more than France will. If reports are true, Mr. Baldwin already has started by making more concessions than the French government head. President Millerand, who met Premier Baldwin recently at Rambouillet, is said to have been particularly energetic in impressing upon the rBitish ~ states- man the necessity for admitting the error of his ways. MARKETS STIMULATED. Impending Ruhr Settlement En- courages Investors. BY HAL O'FLAHERTY. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily New: LONDON, September 20.—Financial circles in London are reflecting more optimism than they have displayed in six months. largely. it is believed, be- cause of the imminence of a Rubr settlement. The bankers declare that Germany now is ready to cease passive resist- ance with only one or two minor po- litical concessions from France. They also display keen interest in Germany's new moves designed to stabilize the currency, which geem the most rational program yet put forward. With these two things well under way, it is felt that the future looks much brighter. Premier Baldwin's meeting with Premier Polncare in Paris Wednesday also had an encouraging effect, al- though It is not regarded as within the range of probablilities that these two statesmen actually co-ordinated their divergent policles in the course of & two-hour interview, carried on through an_interpreter. If M. Poincare has managed to as- sure Mr. Baldwin that Germany and France are about to arrange their dif- ferences over the Ruhr, then it is hoped the larger question of repara- tions may be attacked jointly by the allies, dealing directly with Germany. FRENCH VICTORY SEEN. Paris Press Optimistic Over Re- sults of Conference. By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 20.—The conver- sation between Polncare and_ Prime Minister Baldwin of Great Britain here yesterday is regarded as repre- senting_a victory for French policy in the Ruhr. This view is based on the tone of the statement issued after the meeting. “The statement means, says Le Matin, “that our neighbors are going back 'to the benevolent neutrality of Mr. Bonar Law, that they will not hinder us in the final stages of the struggle, and that they will be again at our side when at last payment is about to be attained.” Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin of Great Britain and Lord Crewe, the British ambassador, took tea yester- day afternoon with President Mille- rand at Ramboulllet. Later Mr. Bald- win had a conversation with the president lasting an hour and a half, which was characterized in semi- official reports as being particularly cordial. PRESS IS DIVIDED. Views on Paris Premier’s Parley Differ Widely. By the Assoctated Press. LONDON, September 20.—The Morn- ing Post describes the conversation between Premlers Baldwin and Poin- care in Parls yesterday as a fruitful one with which there is every reason to be satisfled. This newspaper seems to infer rather guardedly that France and Great Britain are now to co- operate with respect to reparations. The Dally News cannot see how Great Britain can co-operate with France in & policy London has al- ready condemned. The Daily Telegraph warns the public not to build excessive hopes upon “even so gratifying a com- munique as that issued at Parls yes- terday." The Dally Express says that Mr. Baldwin may be expected upon his return to London to develop a policy tantamount to separate action. —— RESCUES 12 IN FIRE.

With and About CAPITAL’S GUESTS With a glow in his cheeks that au- gurs well for the climate of his dis- tant islands, Rt. Hon. W. F. Massey, for the past eleven years prime min- ister of New Zealand, sat in his rooms at the New Willard Hotel and spoke with pride on matters concera- ing the British dominlon which les “down under.” Fresh from a visit to Acting Sec- retary of State William Phillips, whither he had gone to pay his re- spects, the robust New. Zealander, who is on his way to attend the im- perial conference in Londonm, Where he will act as doyen owing to his con- tinuous service being longer than that of any of his colleagues, rubbed his hands as he told of the wonderful strides taken by New Zealand in the last ten years, “Remember,” sald he, as he looked over to his two traveling companion F. D. Thomson, secretary, and H. T. B. Drew, attache, “New Zealand is a pastoral country, with but little more than 1,300,000 population, but in area is only a little less than Great Britain and Ireland. Even so the dominion’s oversea trade . is £89 per head of population, which is the highest in the world. VI tually the whole of her exports are primary products—chiefly butter, cheese, mutton and lamb, wool, hides and tallow. The overseas trade of your country has been published as £18 per _head of population. The imports of New Zealand from Britain, with whom the bulk of her trade is done (America coming second), are more per capita than is the case of any other country in the world.” Glancing over again for the assent of his associates, Mr. Massey contin- ued: *Another record held by the do- minion is that since the inception of the refrigerator, in 1880, she has sent almost as much frozen mutton to the United Kingdom as the rest of the world put together, including her mam- moth competitors, Australia and Ar- gentine. Last year we exported to the United Kingdom more than £16,000,000 worth of dairy products are as large as minion's sheep flocks are as large as Great Britain's, numbering last year 22,926,000. The total exports of the country for the vear ending June 30, 3, were £46,000,000, or more than $320,000,000. After ‘enumerating many other pro- gressive movements, which included the electrification of all farmhouses, the building of more than 4,000 miles of railroad, a part of which runs through the Otira tunnel, the longest in the British domains, the genial offi- clal detailed the manner in which New Zealand war veterans were cared for, a method which he sald he would men- tion to President Coolidge when he calls to see him today. Mr. Massey is the only prime minis- ter of the United Kingdom who has served continuously since the war be- gan. His last fight was bitterly con- tested, but he won out by a substantial margin. He is a native of Ulster, Ire- land, having gone to the islands when a boy with his parents. He entered parliament in 1894, and has sat con- tinually since. This makes his sixth attendance at imperial conferences, and he was also at the peace confer- ence in Paris. The party will sail Sat- urday for England on the Majestic. Leaving the three Britishers to tidy for dinner, the writer was _about to take the 'elevator when Clark Noble, noted sculptor of New York and Boston, was encountered in the hall. “What brings you to the city of ex- ceptional statuary, Mr. Noble?’ was the greeting extended as the con- structor of the largest interior me- morial in the country turned to shake hands. “I have finally decided that Wash- ington is to become the center of art in America, and in order to be on the ground floor have made up my mind to remove my studio here. I have been around all day in search of suitable quarters.” And the artist mopped his brow. Short, well-developed and display- ing every evidence of possessing pro- nounced’ opinions on _sculpture, the Boston-New York man was most optimistic over strides taken by American artists, but said that not until sculpture was taken more seri- ously could the country hope to com- pete’ with the greatest in Europe. “Sculptors cannot be made over- night” sald Mr. Noble, “simply be- cause their friends have told them their work is wonderful. It requires work, long vears of hard, unremitting toil. * Nothing to my mind is worse than bad sculpture, meaningless busts and rellefs. There are no two Milton R. Ney 8th and Pa.

There is no member of President Coolidge’'s eabinet held in higher es- teem by the credited accountants of the country—those watchdogs of the Ppeoplé’s business and tax problems— than Secretary Melian, according to W. F. Weiss, former president of the New York State Society of Certified Accountants, who is stopping at the Hotel Washipgton during the con- vention of the American Institute of Credited Accountants, now in session at that house. Speaking -of the efforts of the Treasury head to induce Congress to materially lower the surtax percent- age rates, Mr. Weiss said: “Secretary - Mellon wlas abl lower the individual > surtax rates some, and even with that reduction his judgment was better than that of Congress In that it produced a bigger revenue in money. “The reason for this is simple. The high rate drove capital into inves ment of tax-free securities, while the lower rate recommended brings capl tal back into business.
