(By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune, S Copyright, 1023.) BY WILBUR FORREST. PARIS, November 3.—Ambassador Jusserand will call at the State De- partment in Washington Monday and present Premier Poincare's complete explanation of the French stand in regard to American participation in the.experts’ meeting to assist In solv- ing the reparations problem. Ambassador Jusserand, it Is sald, will recelve his instructions upon his arrival in Washington tomorrow. Premier Poincare received Lord Crowe, the British ambassador, tos day and asked him to transmit a re- quest to his government to delay its formal reply to the French reserva- tions until an indication has been re- ceived as to the Washington atti- tude, following the Hughes-Jusse interview Monday. Has Two Conditions. The Star is informed that Ambas- sador Jusserand is instructed to say that France accepts a full Inquiry into Germany's capacity to pay, but will be firm on two points—first, that the expert Inquiry and discussion shall not attempt to modify the total amount=of the reich obligation al- ready fixed. Second, that the question of the French occupation of the Ruhr shall not be discussed. On the first point, M. Jusserand is Jinstructed to say that the debt total jcould not be modified without the consent of the French parliament for an amendment of the treaty of Ver- sailles itself. In regard to the Ruhr eccupation, the French will point out that this step was taken after the reparation commission had formally declared | Germany in_default. France, Premler Poincare em- phasized today, will not abandon any of the guarantees she now holds, ex- cept in return for effective payments by Germany, and this whole question, he belleves, lles outside the scope of an expert inquiry. Officlal circles in Paris tonight ex- plaih the premler's direct dealing with Russians Backing Bavarian ‘Revolt,’ Belief of Paris By Cable to The Star and the New York Tribune, Copyright, 1928. PARIS, November 3.—The French general staff is watching' military events in Germany with a certain anxiety. It is belleved here that the Bav- arian forces, now reported to number 70,000 under capable lead- ers, have recelved cannon, muni- tions, airplanés and possibly toxic gases from Russia. It they actually reach Berlin to enforce compliance with their re- ported ultimatum for the estab- lishment of a government for all Germany which shall be modeled after Bavaria's, France will pro- ceed to act. This much is regarded as cer- tain here tonight. TROOPS ARE RUSHED 10 STOP BAVARIANS Ordered to Prevent Patsch- ists Crossing Thuringian Border at All Costs.

This action came as the climax of a day, throughout which the Bavarian situation has been constantly and threateningly to the fore. PLANS TO TAKE AIX. Matthes Says He Wil Capture Es- sen as Reply to Belgium. By the Assoclated Press. COBLENZ, November 3.—Joseph Matthes, the “separatist leader, an- nounced today, in what he labelled an official communique, that it was the intention of the separatists to re- occupy /Aix-la-Chapelle. “Wo are planning to retake Alx-la- Chapelle,” he said in his communi- cation, “and within a few days our troops will be marching into the Pul- atinate and other of our forces will seize Essen.

Clarifies Situation. Premier Poincare's note has the \effect of allowing President Coolidge ’und Secretary Hughes to judge with- in the next forty-elght hours wheth- er the United States will lend its * co-operation or not. The situation is regarded here to- might as being at last clear. Premior Polncare recelved Ambas- sador Herrick this morning, but the latter did not carry any instructlons from Washington, nor did he at- tempt to engage the premier in any sort of discussion of the reparation question. His visit was merely in the nature of a courtesy call. With the premier's next visitor to- day, however, the case was different. This visitor was Lord Crewe, the British ambassador.

KENTUCKY COLT MAKES RUNAWAY OF BIG RACE Time, 3.00 4-5, Slow for Mile and Three-Quarters—45,000 See Big Event. By the Associated Pres LATONIA, K ovember 3. —A Kentucky bred and owned horse, with a Kentucky boy in the saddle, caused the greatest surprise that has climaxed a turf spectacle .in years today, when In Memoriam defeated the peerless Zev and his greatest American rival, My Own, in the $50,- 000 Latonia Championship stakes be- fore a crowd of 45,000 spectators, who braved a cold, drizzling ramn to witness the startling upset. The victory of the handsome bay son of McGee-Enchantress, owned by Carl Wiedemann, millionaire horse- man of Newport, Ky. was ccnvinc- ing. Sprinting into the streten, In Memoriam conquered Zev, the con- queror of Papyrus and winner of the Kentucky derby, ission and flashed across the wire a winner by at least six lengths. Back of the flashing heels of Zev came Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson's My Own, trailing eight lengths. Rialto, the fourth start in the race, was distanced In the stretch and pull- ed up without even trying to_cdtch the flying leaders. Time of Race Slow. The race, at a grueling test of one and three-quarter miles, was run 3.0 4-5, 0.51-5 slower than the Ameri- can record for the distance establish- ed by Rockminister in the same race a year ago. By strange coincidence Jockey Mack Garner, the pride of Kentucky’'s knights of the saddle, who rode In Memoriam to victory today, holds, the distinction of riding Rockmnilster when that three-year-old established the record. The triumph of In Memoriam was a stunning surprise. Kentucky, rich in thoroughbred tradition, knows race horses, but if any horse-wise person had been asked last night what he thought of In Memoriam's chances the reply probably would have been: “In Memoriam hasn't much of a chance, but e may spring an upset.” Stnclair Lowes $63,000. Harry F. Sinclair, owner of Zev, evidently was convinced that Zev could not be beaten, because he plunged $63,000 in the pari-mutuel machines before the race. Sinclair first wagered $30,000. Then he dump- od $20,000 more. AS the hour for the start drew near he wagered an addi- tional $9,000 and finally threw $4,000 mére on Zev's chances to win. These sums were wagered at the track this afternoon, in addition to the amounts he wagered before leaving the east. Because Zev and My Own were such overwhelming favorites a $2 ticket in the pari-mutuels on In Memoriam pald the liberal price of $23.60 to win. The price on Zev was 40 cents to $1, while the figure on My Own was $3.75 to $1. The odds on Rialto were $14.90 to $1. The spectacle, aside from the three minutes of stirring struggle, was the most brilllant in the history of the classic race. ‘The crowd at the finish cheered wildly as Jockey Garner, his boyish face alight, was lifted to the platform in front of the stand and took his place with Owner Wiede- mann, while James M. Cox, former Governor of Ohlo, made the presenta- tion speech in presenting Wiedemann with a gold cup valued at $5,000. The crowd let loose another shriek as -a floral plece of American beau- ties was draped over the shoulders of Jockey Garner, Wiedemann and R. J. Gllmore, trainer of In Memoriam, while the beaten Zev and My Own walked slowly away drooping under their blankets, Wiedemann, who won $560,000 in cash as first prize for In Memoriam's triumph, presented the boyish-looking Garner with a check for $10,000 as a reward for his victory.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 3.—David Lloyd George, war premier of Great Britaln, tonight was on his way home in a flower-filled suite on the Ma- jestic, confident that his plea for linking the United States and the British empire for world peace had been well recefved on his extended tour of Canada and the United States, The stocky little Welshman sailed at midday with a final word en the reparations crisis. The effectiveness of “Anglo-American co-operation, he repeated in the golfing phraseology of his last address at the Metro- politan Opera House last night, de- pended upon whether America “fol- lowed through” the proposal of Sec- retary Hughes for an Ihternatlonal commission to settle the sums that the defeated nations could and should Day. & France, he was donfident, would ged the advice of the United States and Britain regarding German rep- arations. Debt of France. “France would have been a vassal country but for your. country and mine,” he said, spiritedly. Fears for the safety of Mr. Lloyd George at the hands of a Hindu dis- ciple of Gandhi, anti-British leader in India, prompted federal officlals to bar all visitors from the Majestic un- til the former premier was in his cabin with his family and bodyguard. The Gandhist was removed from the vessel because of alleged irregu- larities in 'his passports. He was known to have followed Lloyd George at the outset of his tour of this con- tinent and to have been detained by Canadian authoritles, according to federal officials. Crowd at Pler. A crowd of several hundred was on the pier to bid Mr. Lloyd George fare- well. The police, who twice had foiled attempts of Irish ‘republicans in this city to insult the former statesman, escorted him In consider- able numbers from his hotel. Mr Lloyd George sailed in complete ig- norance of the Hindu incident. Lloyd George was sorry to’ leave. He had found America “hospitable,” its people “warm-hearted,” his voice broke a little; his gratitude was al- most childlike. “Everywhere I went I was wel- comed,” he declared. “That touched me most of all. They were all glad to see me.” . A delegation from the Suigrave In- séitution presented Mr. Lioyd George with an insignia carrying honorary life membership. Another delegation from the American Bible Soclety yre- sented him with a Welsh Bible, In- forming him the soclety had its gene- sis in Wales.

Three Washington athletes were in- jured, one probably fatally, when the automobile in which they were said to be speeding threw a wheel and turned turtle near Surrattsville, Md., last mid- night. William Deller, about twenty-two years ago, former foot ball star of the Mohawk team, of 1118 G street southeast, is dying at Casualty Hos- pital. . He is suffering from a frac- ture of -the skull and severe internal | insurtes. The other injured are: { Aubrey Green of 520 Sth street | southeast, suffering from severe cuts and bruises, but not in a serious con- dition, at Casualty Hospital . Charles J.

Escapes Miraculous. That any of the occupants of the automobile, which was being driven by Green, escaped instant death was regarded by persons who viewed the demolished car &s nothing short of miraculous. According to Alfred J. Day of Ana- costia, D. C., who rushed Green to the hospital, witnesses at the scene said the automobile was flashing down the road toward Washington at a mile-a-minute-or-so clip when a right rear wheel dropped. off, starting .the car on a series of somersaults. Marks in the road, according to Day, showed that the automobile had turned over five /times. before coming to rest on the side in & gulley. . Before it stopped it sideswiped an automobile parked on the roadside occupied by Raymond Robey of Wal- dort, Md., and a companion, Day said.

Congress and Commission- ers to Plan Ahead. The policy of preparing a five-year building program for the school sys- tem is to be applied by Engineer Com- missioner Bell to the various engin- eering branches of the city govern- ment. This wiil provide the Commission- érs and Congress with a detailed sur- vey of the needs of the highway di- vision, the sewer department, the wa- ter department and similar municipal agencies for the next five years. Will Gather Data. Capt. John E. Wood, ‘assistant Engineer Commissidéner, who has worked with school officials in plan- ning the future, school-buflding pro- gram, will take an active part in gathering the data for the five-year programs of the other municipal services and it is probable that In working out these various surveys the department heads will seek to arrjve at figures that would enable them to bring the highways, the sew- ers and the water systems up to the needs of the eity within that time. In preparing the regular annual estimates for Congress the city au- thorities have not been able for sev- eral years to ask for what each de- partment needs, but must cut their figures according to the limitations laid down for them. As a result, practically every branch of the serv- {ice has fallen behind just as the | school system has outgrown its class- room space. The purpose of the data, which it is now proposed to collect will be to show clearly what the accumulated needs of each department are and how appropridtions would have to be made to catch up in fivs years.

NEW TRAFFIC CODE Say More Policemen, Not | More Regulations, Are Needed for Capital. ( On the eve of an investigation into trafic conditions in Washington, through which its author, Senator J. Helsler Ball, thairman of the District committee, hopes to bring about a complete change of the traffic system in Washington, a survey last night found District officlals preparing to show that traffic conditions are as well handled as in any other city of its size and that the last three years have brought decided improvement. These District officials, it was learned, will base their arguments on a plea that Congress provide more Dol,cemen to enforce present regula- tions, Instead of having Congress pro- vide more regulations to be enforced by what they declare to be an in- adequate number of traffic policemen. An investigation of figures made public In recent vears by the police department discloses that” from Jan- uary 1 to September 30 of the present year there have been sixty deaths in the, District from all types of traffic accldents, including street cars, auto- | moblles, railroad trains and other ve- | hicles. Figures are not available to ! compare this number with other cal- | endar years, but the annual reports of Inspector A. J. Headley, chief of the traffic burkau, showed the follow- | ing results in fiscal years: From July 1, 1922, to July 1, 1923, there were 62 deaths. From July 1, 1921, there were 50 deaths. From July 1, 1920, there were 65 deaths. Other Yéars to July 1, 1922, to July 1, 1821, Higher. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, there were seventy-six deaths, and for the fiscal year ending June 30; 1913, there were elghty-six deaths. - In the consideration of these fig- | ures, it should also be borne in mind, District officials’ point out, that the automobliles are constantly increas- ing in number, while the death list has actually shown some decrease. For Instance, in ‘1918 there were 34,000 automobiles registered, with a death list for that fiscal year of elghty-six persons. In 1920 there were 56,000 automobiles, with sixty- | five deaths. There were sixty-two deaths In the last fiscal year, despite the presence of 101,000 automobiles on District streets. Ask More Policemen. Ringgold Hart, chairman of the Commissioners’ traffic committee, said last night that what the city needs is more policemen, not more regula- tions. “In my opinion, the present traffic code of the District Is a good one,” said Mr. Hart, who served as assis- tant corporation counsel at Police Court for a number of years. “Accl- dents are caused by failure to comply with the existing regulations, and the only way to get strict compliance is to have an adequate number of traf- fic officers to apprehend violators.” Mr. Hart said recently he visited Pittsburgh, Atlantic City and a num- ber of other citles, from which he gained the impression that other large centers appeared to have more policemen avgylabfe for traffio direc- tion than Washington. Inspector Albert J. Headley, chief of the police” traffio bureau, who is scheduled to be the first witness be- fore the Senate committee when it convenes tomorrow, declined last night to disclose his views on the (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.)

NO RELIEF IN SIGHT, "HUSBAND DECLARES Foreign Governments and Steam- ship Companies Blamed for Condtiions. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 3.—More than 3,000 would-be immigrants, in- cluding 1,367 who came on the Le- viathan, which arrived today from England, face deportation, it was an- nounced tonight by Commissioner of Immigration Curran, who sald yearly quotas of several countries had been exhausted. Quotas of eleven countries, includ- ing British Isles, have been exhaust- ed, Commissioner Curran said he had been Informed by telephone by Com- missioner General of Immigration Husband of Washington. Mr. Curran said he expected about 2,000 British subjects would be sent back unless some of them, along with subjects of other countries, were allowed to en- ter under special rulings. Russia also has exceeded her quota by 500, Mr. Curran said, while the other immigrants likely to be de- ported come from Greece, Egypt, Africa, Albania, Turkey, Palestine, Portugal, ‘“other European” and “other Asia” under which several smaller nations are listed 10,000 Are In Harbor. More than 10,000 immigrants are on ships in the harbor awaiting exam- |ination at Ellis Island, the commis- sioner said. He characterized the In- flux as one of the “worst jams” that ever fared. In addition to the 1,367 on tue Levia- than, there were 523 on the Majestic, 548 on the Belgenland, 158 on the Cleveland and about 400 aliens on other vessels who were In excess of quotas. Most of the British were | said to be on the Leviathan. Commissioner Curran declined to say whether the allens would be de- ported at once, declaring the disposi- tion of their cases would be settled by Washington authorittes. He attrib- uted the exhaustion of the British quota partly to the unusual rush of British immigrants across the Cana- dian border and also to the great in- flux of aliens from Great Britain to American ports in the past few days in order to enter before their allot- ment was filled. A total of 2,269 allens were exam- ined at Ellis Island today. They were brought from three ships, the Celtic, Volendam and the Patria. About 1,700 aliens were on sthe island to- night, the commissioner said, while on- Friday night theré were 1,900 aliens. There were more than 400 in excess of sleeping accommodations. Coinmenting on this situation, he de- clared the reason for this crowding was due to the fact “that of the 1,600 tmmigrants taken to the island Friday trom the national Greek liner Byron, authorities were forced to detain 800.” Calls Situation Unprecedented. “I believe this condition to be un- precedented,” he added. “There were 600 Russians, 100 Greeks, 50 Ru- manians and about 50 Turks. Many of these came with no funds with which to travel to their ultimate destinations, others had insufficient money with which to live on until they obtained positions and many have disease or other physical de- fects, indicating they may not be able to earn a living. “Of the 800 detained not more than fitty detentions were caused by ex- ces quotas. All the rest are Inad- missible for varlous other reasons and certainly a large percentage of them will be deported.” The commissioner severely de- nounced ‘ore(sn governments and steamship’ companies that permitted aliens to leave home in this condi- tion.
