STRESEMANN IS GIVEN POWERS OF DICTATOR Reichstag Adopts Bill to Handle Grave Economic Situatioin by Vote of 316 to 24. Br the Assoclated Press. DUSSELDORF, October 13.—Fifty ©r more stores were sacked of food Bnd clothing in Dusseldorf during the wlay by unemployed and lawless ele- Jnents, and the looting continued to- might, almost unhindered, except by # few resolute but quickly vanquished Ktore owners and shopkeepers. Pil- Jaging likewise is reported from many ©ther parts of the Ruhr. The French troops, at the request ©f the city authorities, took over pro- tecting of public buildings, because, Kince the French disbanded the se- curity police, there remain only 200 blue police, who are able to do little sgainst the plundere French ar- mored cars and cav frequently *I ared the streets today, but the €rowds scattered only to gather again when the troops passed. Guard Allied Personnel. The French have also placed de- tachments to guard the buildings where the allied personnel are em- yloyed, but otherwise have adopted a Btrict “hands off” policy. The Ger- man population in general showed an apathetic attitude or found the scenes emusing, not even trying to dissuade the looters from breaking open the stores and emptying them of mer- chandise. Many of the half hundred stores entered were stripped completely. Tillagers this afternoon broke into one department store in the heart of the city and carried off about 300 suits of clothes and a large amount of other merchandise, One looter came out carrying a lavender suit of high visibility, which he tried on in the presence of a laughing crowd at the foot of the Von Molke statue. This attitude of disinterested amuse- ment was adopted even by scores of French soldiers who mingled with the Germans. Looters Grow Bolder. The shop owners were the only ones who resisted. Some of them were women who threw handfuls of flour and pepper into the faces of the ad- vance guard of looters, but this merely delayed matters for a mo- ment. As the success of the plunder- ing movement became certain, the Jooters were well reinforced and by afternoon the pillaging became more widespread and systematic. Plundering is reported from Duis- burg, Bur, Bochum, Essen, Cologne and a number of small towns like Neustadt in the French area, where German police fired wounding eleven. fThe situation at Duisburg became more menacing with the complete ehutdown of thirteen large factories employing about 100,000 operatives.

PARIS, October 13.—Relief for the wnemployment crisis, which caused wvidespread looting at Dusseldorf and other Ruhr towns today, will be Bought, according to the Dusseldorf Havas correspondent, in the reopen- fng of a number of factories and the resumption of Interrupted construc- tion work and other employment.

C. People Treaty BY WILBUR FORREST. By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune. Copyright, 1t PARIS, October 13.—Following the Reichstag's grant of extraordinary powers to Chancellor Stresemann to- day, I am able to outline on the high- est and most unimpeachable authori- ty the policy the French government will adopt toward the new dictator- ship and toward political Germany in general henceforth. This policy, which is in many respects a startling one, has been born out of the tumult- ous maze of developments in Germany during the last three weeks. The high points in the French at- titude, which at first glance appears almost brutal, follow: No Pay in Sight. First—There is not the slightest hope in Paris that Germany will actually begin to pay reparations for some years to come. The Stresemann government, even in the form of a RAP HILL AND BECK FOR THEIR ATTITUDE (ON PROHIBITION ACT Rabbi Wise and Senator Glass Score Officials at Citizenship Sessions. James M. Beck, solicitor general of the United States, and Representa- tive John Phillip Hill of Maryland were under fire at the Citizenship Conference, called in the interest of law enforcement and prohibition last night. Before a great audience which filled the auditorium of the Central High School and in which were prominent leaders of religious, temperance, political, business, women's and civic organizations, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York took the solicitor gen- eral to task, because of a recent speech in which he “by innuendo” protested against prohibition as an interference with personal rights. “To speak of the eighteenth amend- ment as an invasion of the personal rights of the American people was most unfitting on the part of the solicitor general of the United States, | not to say indecent,” said Rabbi Wise. “He was not a Chesterfleldlan arbiter eligantium expressing an opinion on an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. But even the so- licitor general will learn some day that the eighteenth amendment is just as unrepealable as the Constitution itself or any of the other amend- ments, Discloses Lawlessness. “It has been charged that the eight- eenth amendment evokes lawlessness. The elghteenth amendment does not evoke lawlessness, but the eighteenth amendment discloses lawlessness, and in some of the highest places. “I believe, however, that President Coolidge may be trusted to enforce the laws of the United States to the fullest degree.” Senator Carter Glass of Virglinia, former Secretary of the Treasury, without the actual use of his name, criticized Representative Hill of Maryland, and declared that Mr. Hill should be put in jail because of his defiance of the prohibition law, in manufacturing 12 per cent wine in his home. “I have pity for the poor, ignorant mountaineer, who turns his aples into brandy,” said Senator Glass, “who has been taught for years that the gov- ernment is his enemy and that he has great a right to do so as the farmer bas to turn his wheat into flour. But a congressman of the United States. who sanctions or participates in its violation, deserves no mercy on earth, Congressman and Law. “If any Virginia congressman should undertake to challenge the eanctity of the law by the manufacture of liquor in his cellar, or in his parlor, I guarantee he wouid be put in jail. And if a United States attorney should say that he was engaged in more important business than’ the prosecution of that congress- man 1 would engage to find a state's attorney who will put him in jail. “It is said that consideration should be given to the position of a congress- man. He deserves no consideration, but especial punishment. The criminal law should be appealed to in his case, not a civil injunction. * “Who among you is so simple as not to know that i an obscure citi- zen were caught manufacturing liquor he would be seized and put in jail. It is a shame upon the admin- Istrative power of the government that a congressman should be allowed to make 12 per cent wine in defiance of the amendment and of the law, I say he ought to bo put in jail.” Senator Glass took a fling also at the administration of law in Pennsyl- vania. “When I see in the newspapers that the Governor of the great state of Pennsylvania has found 1,300 open saloons in Philadelphia,” sald Sena- tor Glass, “I thank God that one vpen saloon cannot be found in Virginla. ‘We may have some bootleggers there, but when we find them we put them in jail, where the congressman ought to be.” Some day, Senator Glass said, in the distant future, there may be under oath to support the Constitution, | he WASHINGTON, D.

Premier Poincare (Continued on Page is__convinced Column 1.) [“Tiger”” Waiting For Own Funeral To Pass Window By the Associated Press, PARIS. October 13.—Upon the approach of a senate bye-election recently Georges Clemenceau was approached by a committee with a view to allowing himself to be nominated for the seat made va- cant by the death of the incum- bent. “My political life is finished for- ever,” said the Tiger with a smile. “All that is left me now is to take my place at the window and wait to see my funeral pass.” The former premier has made every preparation for that event, except for the act of dying. A short time ago he had a tomb made ready for himself beside his father's. Meanwhile he interests himself in local doings. He at- tended the opening of the new race track at Chantonney, and he mo- tors almost daily to Les Sables D'Olonne to do his own market- ing. EX-PREMIER ENDS TOUR OF CANADA Lioyd George to Leave for U. S. Today—Sees Germany on Revolt Brink. By the Associated Press, WINNIPEG, Manitoba, October 13. Lloyd George, the wartime premier here today In his tour of the do- minion, crowds lining the station platform as he stepped from his pri- vate car to be greeted by provincial and city officials. The distinguished® visitor was taken immediately on a drive about the city, where thou- sands applauded his appearance. Later he went to the business sec- tion and placed a wreath at the base of the cenotaph, erected by the people of Winnipeg to the memory of heroic dead of the world war. He was then escorted to Government House with Lieut. Gov. Sir James Aitkins, where he will be guest during his stay here. An official dinner was given in his honor at Government House tonight and later he left for Olympic Rink to deliver a public address, in Which he extended to western Can- ada his thanks for the part it played in the world war. Arrangemente also were made for him to address an overflow meeting in the audi- torium of the board of trade building. ‘Will Not Visit Coast. During the day Mr. Lloyd George announced definitely that he would go no further west than Winnipeg, it being impossible for him to visit the Pacific coast. Even with his present program, he explained, parliament will meet but two days after his return to England. Expressing regret at his inability to extend his tour, he spoke in appreciation of the reception given him in Canada. The spontancity cf the welcome at the small places, he remarked, had especially touched him. “Why,” he added, “they have awak- ened me cheering in the middle of the night” In accordance with his desire for “no Sunday labor,” Mr. Lloyd George will remain in quietly at Government House tomorrow and leave late in the afternoon for Minneapolis and a tour af the middle west and eastern United States. ' On his special train today the for- mer premier was informed through news dispatches read over the wire- less telephone of the occurrence of bread riots in Germany.

McGRAWMEN MAKE GAME FIGHT DESPITE DEFEAT Ruth Performance Ordinary; Young Contributes Homer in Ninth Inning. BY DENMAN THOMPSON, NEW YORK, October 13.—Yankees, 8 Giants, 4.. Confronted with the ne- cessity of winning today or having their hopes for the highest honors in reduced to practically the point of extinction, the American League contenders in the fratricidal strife with their two-time conquerors this afternoon fairly blasted their way to victory before a close-to-ca- pacity throng at the Polo Grounds, the stronghold of the enemy. Unlimbering a murderous assault that for pure power seldom has been witnessed in a titular struggle the Hugmen in one inning, the second amassed more than enough runs to decide the issue and in so doing spiked a pair of McGraw's big mound guns and agaln pulled up to even terms with the National Leaguers in the world series, which now shows two triumphs for each club in the four games played. Before the cannonading for the day had ceased and the rival generals withdrew their forces for a resump- tion of hostilities at the Yankee stadium tomorrow, the historic bat- tlefleld in the shadow of Coogan's Bluff had witnessed in action on the firlng line no fewer than seven pitchers, five of them Giants—and heard the echo of twenty-six evenly divided bingles, including all of the extra base varieties, that went for an aggregate of thirty-four bases. Despite the two-to-one ratio in runs by which the Yankees prevailed the struggle was not a one-sided af- fair, for although the Giants were trailing far in the rear from early in the contest, they constantly made menacing motions calculated to cause uneasiness in the ranks of Yank ad- herents, and when they finally broke through the guard of Bob Shawkey, after seven scoraless- sessions, and bombed him off the mound, the feel- ing of apprehension changed to down- right alarm, for the fans are only too well acquainted with the powerful punching prowess of the Giant ma- chine in full momentum. Pennock Saves Day. Herb Pennock was flung into the breach by Miller Huggins when it seemed the enemy might achieve the miraculous, and although he checked { the counter attack, the frail-looking left-hander was solved by Young in the final frame for a round-trip wal- lop that boded evil, and the Amer- ican League sympathizers refrained from any feeling of exultation until the last Giant had been disposed of. Jack Scott, a hero of the 1922 series when the Glants repeated their tri- umph of the year before, but in an even more impressive manner, was the first of McGraw's flingers to fall by the wayside today. He was rout- ed before the second inning was more than a few minutes old, and Bill Ryan, another heretofore successful workman against the Yanks, failed to last much longer, Hugh McQuil- len succeeding him. The latter ap- plied the brakes momentarily, but he also was nicked in the two subse- quent innings; and when McGraw ul- timately drew on reserves for pinch hitting and running to the extent of eighteen athletes—sufficient for two complete teams—young Claude Jon- nard and Virgil Barnes also saw service. Giants Fight Gamely. The Glants fought in characteristic fashion, never relaxing their efforts for a second, even when the odds seemed hopelessly against them and by so doing made a contest of what otherwise would have been a hollow walkaway. Their never-say-die at- titude is indicative of what may be expected in the remainder of the champlonship series, which cannot Le decided until one of the contenders has won two additional games. With the count of three and two on him Witt opened the battle with a clean punch to center. Dugan's effort to sacrifice resulted in a little pop that Snyder reached in a desperate effort on foul territory. Jack Scott completely outguessed Ruth by slip- Sundl WITH DAILY EVENING EDITION l PRELIMINARY PREPARATIO! MY OWN SMASHES ZEV DERBY REGORD Covers Mile and Quarter at Laurel in 2.02 3-5, as Against 2.05 2-5 for Rival. My Own, Rear Admiral Grayson’s thoroughbred, denied the honor of carrying Amerlca’s colors in the international turf classic against the British derby winner, established claim to the three-year- old American championship by win- ning the Maryland handicap at the Laurel racetrack yesterday afternoon in the remarkable time of 2:02 3-5. The Washington colt not only ran one of the greatest races ever seen on the Maryland course, but bettered by 2 4-5 seconds the Kentucky derby time of Zev, the thoroughbred which will meet the British horse in New York next Saturday. The brilliant performance of Ad- miral Grayson's three-year-old, it was Indicated in social and sporting circles last night, will lead to a re- opening of the controversy with the New York racing commission as to whether My Own or Zev is the better horse to race Papyrus for the $100,- 000 stake. Admiral Grayson declared last night that personally he will do noth- ing further to match My Own with Zev to determine the opponent of Great Britain's champlon three-year- old, but expressed the bellef that the public will demand such a race in view of the record that his colt es- tablished yesterday. Unextended, My Own stepped the mile and one-fourth on a track slower by two seconds for this distance than the Churchill Downs course, on which Zev captured the famous Kentucky Derby in 2.052-5 this epring. My Own car- ried the maximum weight of 126 pounds, the same handicap as did Zev in the Kentucky event. ‘Winner All the Way. It was My Own's race from the post to the finish. Only once, on the final stretch, was the bay colt forced to quicker action, and at the finish he ap- peared to be warming up for a further spurt of speed. “My Own did what I expected him to do,” remarked the admiral after the race. “I did not intend to enter him in the race. but the persistent demands of my friends and the loyal support given my horse caused me to change my mind. And now My Own has demonstrated what he can do.” The colt also did what the im- mense crowd, one of the largest that ever jammed its way into the Laurel racing arena, expected him to do. The evidence of the almost unan- imous support given the Washington horse was reflected accurately in the records on the pari-mutuel betting machines—and “money talks.” Crowd for My Own. Excitement was intense as the horses went to the post. My Own, second in the line of costly horse- flesh, was greeted with thundering applause as he stepped proudly past the grandstand.

Associated Press NTLAND, Ind., October 13.—In- vestigation of the affairs of the Dis- | count and Deposit Bank of this cit | of which Gov. Warren T. McCray was | president until recently, was begun today by Thomas Barr, deputy bank examiner, who came here when in- formed that ‘directors of the institu- tion had voted to close its doors. Judge William Darroch, who succeed- ed Gov. McCray as president, and other officials of the institution indi- cated that a reorganization would be attempted. A statement fssued by the bank attributed its difficulties to “the con- tinuous and incessant notoriety from the press,” resulting in a reduction of the bank’s funds and making it “dif- ficult to acquire additional cash.” Mr. Darroch sald the directors had | not decided upon a definite plan of reorganization, and have set no time for another meeting. The total assets were given as $369,245, and liabilities, which are deposits and bills payable, total $423,177. It is the desire of the directors to | get new interests in the bank, Mr. Darroch said. 1 “We want to get away from the | odium of old associations and possi- ble complications which may come ! » Mr. Darroch continued. “The/ possible complications resulting from the known acts of Warren T. McCray, former president of the bank, and the possibilities of acts unknown at pres- ent, make it particularly unsafe to operate on known assets and known liabilities of the bank. The bank was organized, in 1874, by Gov. McCray's father. The executive | later became president of the bank, | and continued at its head until re- | cently, when his financial difficulties | became public. 3 CHILDREN BURN TO DEATH IN HOME Mystery in Sudden Flare-Up of | Stairway, as if 0il Had Been Poured on It.

A search was being made for the other body. Firemen sald the origin of the fire was unknown, but they indicated that it started In a staircase leading to the second floor of the dwelling. The three children occupled rooms on this floor and all escapes were cut off. The Harts resided on the second floor of a brick bullding, the ground floor being occupied by a store. Police sald they had recelved a report that the stairway flared up in flames as if it had been oiled. An investigation was started. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Capps, who operate the emall grocery on the ground floor of the budlding, told the police the fire started at the top of the stairway and that in their opinion was accidentally set by the children while playing.
