LODTING, RIOTING CONTINUE N BERLIN Demand for Dictator Grows, Although No Nomination Is Put Forward. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 6.—The looting | of food and clothing shops continued throughout the night in the northern districts of Berlin, while in the fash- fonable West End of the city numer- ous automobiles were held up, the occupants of the ears being robbed of their personal belongings. Consider- able anti-Semitic rioting occurred in the Jewlsh quarter, Most of the pillaging was done by ®angs of men and youths whose nu- merical strength was in some cases as large as 300. Women freely par- ticipated in storming the food shops. The price of bread this morning was fixed at $0,000,000,000 marks a loaf, as against $140,000,000,000 yesterday. The bourse has contributed $70,000 to the public feeding fund. _ Belleving that bread is more neces- sary than politics, German public opinion is solldifying in faver of a national dictatorship—a single man or a limited directorate with power to punish the food profiteers and force the farmers to bring their prod- ucts into the cities. No One Nominates Dictator. Just who the dictator or directorate should be, none of the elements ask- ing a change so far have ventured to suggest, and although it is not im- probable that a dictaorship would be proclaimed, Chancellor Stresemann is golng ahead with his plans for filling out the cabinet that was depleted by the retirement last week of the three soclalist members. In a proclamation addressed to the nation, President Ebert and the chan- cellor refer to Germany’s “intolerable distress” and intimate that the gov- ernment will take forceful measures to protect the republic against any faction attempting to take affairs into its own hands. Three Badenese reichswehr regiments Iready have been dispatched to the Bavarian- Thuringian frontier, where irregular Bavarian bands, said to be under the leadership of Cap:. Ehrhardt of Kapp Putsch fame, are making threatening gestures, the al purpose of which is reported to be the overthrow of the republ and the establishment of a national militar: dictatorship. in some quarters Gen. Ludendorft is charged with supporting the move- ment, Thé official proclamation says the government po s “the necessary strength to de with any putsch and Pprotect the constitution of the reich.” Confidence in People. 1t expresses a belief that if the gov- ernment is forced to fight against its will “the whole German people will stand behind it in defense of order and the freedom of the German reich.” Numerous assaults upon Jews were committed in the Ghetto districts by gangs of young ruffians. One of their methods was to seize bearded native Galicians, clip off sections of their oriental beards in patches and then permit theig victims with the result- | ing grotesaue hirsute adornments to pass on. Cloth shops were also favorite targets for the looters, who would sefze a bolt of goods, clin off strips several yards in length and pass them on _to tMe waiting queues. Contents of cash registers were dumped into the streets, where the mobs would pounce upon the bundles of paper money. Police intervention was invariably late or else there would be refusal on the part of the policemen to disperse the mobs through the use of firearms. CALL ARMY “BOY SCOUTS.” Germans Say Ehrhardt’s Forces Merely Unorganized Rabble. By the Associafed Pross BERLIN, November 6.—The “army’” under Capt. Ehrhardt of Kapp putsch fame, assembled along the horders between Thuringia and Ba- varia, which has been a plaything for both foreign and domestic propa- gandists for the past ten days .is de- clared in responsible quarters here never to have been taken seriously by either the Bavarian government or the central government in Berlin.

Inadequately Fitted to End Smuggling, Says Mrs. Willebrandt. Rum-running presents now the greatest problem in prohibition en- forcement, Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille- brandt, assistint attorney general in charge of enforcement prosecutions, declared in her annual report today |to Attorney General Daugherty. The report also commented on the light | sentences given dry-law violators In some federal courts, as compared with those imposed in other courts, “The liquor smuggling business said Mrs. Willebrandt, “is the biggest criminal problem the United States has ever faced on the high seas. The coast guard is our police force with- }in our territorial waters, and sisted by the customs off] iUnited States marshals {deputies of the Department tice in the .coastal states. The coast guard is the only force having equip- ment to deal with smuggling on the high seas, and observation is con- cing that its equipment is not suf- ficient to suppress it along our long Atlantic and Pacific coast lines.” Big Profits Indlcated. | While no precise estimate of the amount of liguor smuggled In could {be obtained, the report sald, an in- dication of the amount was seen in imports to and exports frém nearby British possessions. Official data, it was sald, showed that liquor ship- ments from Nassau alone—and all sald 10 be destined to the United States—were valued at $7,059,294 during the last fiscal year, while im- portations there totaled $4,500,000, the difference being held to repre- sent bootleggers’ profits from opera- tions at this one port. Citing the difference in federal court punishments for prohibition violation, Mrs. Willebrandt said’ that the average juil sentence imposed in the eastern Kentucky district was thirty-seven days, as compared with an average sentence of only twenty-one hours in the western Kentucky district.. In western Michigan the average sentence for prohibition violations was four months and three days, while it was only thirteen hours in Rhode Island. In northern Ohlo the average sentence was three months and seventeen days, as compared to aver- sges of five days in Connecticut and Massachusetts, ‘The northern Illinois average was twenty-seven days. Use of “Padlock” Extended. Speed iw disposing of prohibition eases has been urged upon district at- torneys, the report said, and use of the “padiock” provisions of the prohibi- tion act has been extended Summarizing also tax and other pro- cecdings handled by her office, the as- sistant_attorney general reported many cases decided favorably to the govern- ment. More than a thousand cases un- der the pure food law were terminated (during the year. i i ! | DETAILS ARRANGED FOR ARMISTICE DAY Further details for the Armistice day ceremony at Arlington, to be par- ticipated in by President Coolidge, the Secretary of War, Secretary of th Na’ government officials and others, were made known today, fol- lowing a meeting yesterday of those in charge of .the occasion.

CONFLICTING VIEWS ON REPARATIONS INQUIRY ARE GIVEN TO CABINET (Continued from First Page.) although nothing In the ambassador’s dispatch indicated what Secretary Hughes may have observed In answer to the ambassador’s full statement of the French position on reparations generally and on the proposed expert committee in particular. The tone of the conversation was such, however, it was remarked by a high official at the Qui d'Orsay, as to make prehensible the' dispatches from Washington by way of London tending to show that Secretary Hughes and President Coolidge had taken a decisive attitude on the scope of the committee’s Inquiry. 3 Reports Are Irritating. Theke dispatches are causing great irritation in French official circles, where they are considered as part of the scheme to isolate France and oblige her to accept the British plan of reparation and abandon a_consid- erable part of her claim on Germany without any consideration. Dispatches from London declaring Great Britain, Belglum and ltaly now | are in accord to oppose the French point of view are considered as part | the same offensive.

BY the Associated Press, LONDON, November 6—Officials of | the foreign office searched France's latest note today for some glimmer of hdpe on the reparations deadlock, but stated frankly that they found little encouragement. As already indicated the French re- ply, which was received last night, Suggests that the experts' inquiry should be confined to Germany’s “ca- pacity to pay at present and for a limited period in the future.” There was no precise indication as to what length of time was meant to be cov- ered by the phrase “limited period in the future.” Note Is Unsatisfactory. The remainder of the document is in the main an explanation of the rea- fons why France wants to have the inquiry conducted under reservations. On the whole the note is character- ized as unsatisfactory. It will be dis {cussed at tomorrow’s cabinet meeting and will also come before the ime- iperial conference. Meanwhile British statesmen are anxious to learn the outcome of Am- | bassador Jusserand's lengthy talks with Secretary of State Hughes. They feel that the question of whether the reparation inquiry will be held\ now rests largely between Paris and ' | Washington. i |SENATOR BALL URGES REPLACING OF TRAFFIC OFFICERS WITH SOLDIERS (Continued from First Page.) i Henirty-five of these being of ancient vintage. £ “We need automatic traffic seina- phores, which wlill cost abou* $500 a piece. We need high visibility uni- forms for the men, especially at night. and they should haye uniforms which will make it easfer for the motorist to see them as well as to protect their own lives. “We are urgently in need of bette accommodations for the traffic bu- reau, which is at present located in a borrowed building. T consider it an imposition on the. public to make it do business' in such an inadequate space. “If we can't get a traffic court or the magistrate system for trying cases it Is imperative that we have at least two more judges to try traf- fic violators. The courts are very much overcrowded and take up too { much of both the public's and the | policemen’s time. “As far as penalties for violations are concerned, I would r.commend a jail sentence for certain flagrant vio- lations, such as driving while ‘intoxi- cated, speeding, passing street cars and leaving the scene of a collision without making fdentity known.

Found Not Guilty of Stealing Bumper From Auto. Ruby Downs, patrolman of the fourth precinct, was acquitted late vesterday afternoon by a jury in Crimi- nal Division 2, before Justice Hoehling of a charge of stealing a bumper from an’ automobile in the hands of -the police department under seizure from a bootlegger. The bumper was miss- ed February 28 last and Detective O'Donnell, thinking it was in a car in which Downs and the late Police- man Stange were riding, ordered the vehicle stopped, and when Downs de- clined to obey O'Donnell fired and killed Stange. The grand jury exonerated Downs and Stange, but a later panel of grand jurors reported an indictment for lar- ceny_ against Downs. O'Donnell was tried on a manslaughter charge and was acquitted.

He pointed out that the Salvation Army had within the last three years 'converted 16,763 young persons and that there were 2,679 cadets between the ages of fif- teen and twenty-five within the ter- ritory who are receiving preliminary training prior to being made officers to carry on the work of the organ- ization. Col. Robert Sandall, editor of the War Cry, spoke on the progress of the organization's official publica- tion, which, he stated, had a circula- tion of approximately 100,000. Steps will be taken to get this publication into the hands of all prisoners and to other persons who might benefit y it In Washington the work of the newly formed social center will be pushed. Recently a new division of the territory was formed with Wash- ington as the divisional headquarters under the command of Brig. William C. Crawford. Twenty-three stations in the communities surrounding the city comprise the new division known as_the Potomac division. “The Door of Opportunity Among the American Foreign Born” was the subject discussed by Col. Richard E. Holz, secretary of the eastern divi- sion. ISSUE FRAUD ORDER AGAINSTUNIVERSITY The Post Office Department today {ssued a fraud ordef against the Ori- ental University and H. P. Holler, president, at 1702 Oregon avenue and North Beach, Md. In his report to the Postmaster Gen- eral, recommending the issuance of the order, H. J. Donnelly, acting so- leltor, declared that the evidence in the case showed' that “this is a scheme for obtaining money through the mails by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations and promises.” “The evidence shows that the Ori- ental University operates exclusively through the mails, and, representa- tions in its literature to the effect that residence courses are offered by that institution are found to be for the purpose of inducing prospective ‘stu- dents’ to believe that the concern is a bona fide educational institution,” Mr. Donnelly deciared. “The evidence shows, and I so find, that the so-called ‘faculty’ of this in- stitution functions principally in in- ducing persons to become ‘students’ and remit the necessary fee,” MT. Donnally's report states.” “The ‘res! dent’” and ‘non-resident professors’ have no duties as such, except that a jfew of them sign ‘diplomas.’ “The evidence shows that tw. three years ago it Was ‘propose organize a ‘medical_department. this was not done. However, medical | {degrees are still being isswed by the concern,” the acting solicitor found. President Holler of the Oriental University declared this afternoon: “I am convinced that this is a con- spiracy against the Oriental Univer- sity by people politically interested, believing that we are more interested in other natlons than in America, | Which is a gross misstatement. “We are for America first and all the time. The evidence presented was partly on false affidavits secured by inspectors for the government, which were clearly disproved by our evi- dence presented.” PIMLICO ENTRIES . FOR WEDNESDAY.

A PAWNED—By Fraik L. Packard A Story Which Will Thrill You o the Last Word Bégr'n: in Today's Star With and About CAPITAL’S GUESTS The little wren' the cattle, The true-ringing voices of loved ones at home. From time immemorial the lay world has generally felt that little difference existed between the tastes and temperament of actors, musi- clans, writers, painters, sculptors and other artistically-inclined folks seek- Ing outlet for expression, and that the Innermost personal fancles and desires of the one were as a rule quite akin to the other—that such workers lived in a little ;world of thelr own, quite apart, as it were, from those of other callings. Now comes chic little Frital Scherr. grand opera, musical comedy and vaudeville star, with a new line of reasoning, which, according to her will show that when it comes to longing for farm life and-the quiet of the country, Army and Navy men are more ilke those of her profession than many who devote thelr lives to other branches of the arts. Tripping through the lobby of the Washington Hotel, the vivacious Fritzi, who is responsible for more than one gray hair in the heads of some impresarios, waved a “howdy” and insisted that a trip be made to her apartments, where an explana- tion of her discovery was given in detafl. “To get back in vaudeville after spending the summer on a farm such as I have up in Connecticut is hard work,” remarked the singer, who had just opened for a week's run at Keith's. ~“You know I love the coun- try, and my ‘Melody’ cottages near New Haven are the pride of my heart Like Army and Navy officers, tired from duty and discipline, I long to get back to nature—" “And_watch the rest of the world Miss Scheff? “Oh, my, no! Not go by!" shrieked the petite ‘artist. “I love the rest of the world and want it to stop and see my chickens, hogs, pheasants, birds and all the wonderful things to be found at my farm.” “Is yours a settlement of actors?” was asked as the star hummed one of her new songs. ‘No, indeed; mostly Army and Nav men. As I said, we of the stage and those of the service are so used to discipline that we welcome the chance to forget conventionalities. Most of my neighbors have fought for Uncle Sam."” The versatile one then went on to tell how England-was begging her to £0 over there; how her mother, who is an Austrian, living in Frankfort Germany, writes of the terrible con- ditions in that country; how much she loves her adopted America and how ter careful consideration, she has decided to remain over here and I« the rest of that world go by. song, the low ot g0 b: And, by the way, speaking of Ger- many On Wednesday Thomas I Pickford, owner of the Hotel LaFaay- ette, will sall on the Belgenland for that distressed country to make a tour of inspection among the masses of the kaiser’s old domain.
