DEFENDS DECISION Opposes Auditing Clerk’s Suit Against Reallocation of Workers. F. J. Bailey, Harold N. Graves and Guy Moffett, members of the person- nel classificatfon board, today an- swered the rule in mandamus recently issued against them by Justice Hoeh- ling of the District Supreme Court, in the suit brought by Loren H. Wittner, an auditing clerk of the general ac- counting office. Wittner claims that the board disregarded the law and reallocated clerks after the heads of departments had placed them in cer- tain grades. The members of the board deny the right of Wittner to maintain the suit and question the jurisdiction of the court to review by mandamus the decision of the board which was made after the exercise of discretion re- posed in the board by the classifica- tion act. Many of the facts set out in Wittners petition are denied by the board particularly that the duties and_responsibilities of the auditing clerks are identical. The board found that there are three grades of the work and responsibilities at- tached to these clerks and so al- DETECTIVE HELD FOR GRAND JURY Guy Rone Waives Right to Pre- liminary Hearing When Ar- raigned in Police Court. Guy Rone, precinct detective of the sixth police precinct, under suspen- sion pending a hearing of his case by tho police trial board, charged with breaking into the home of (. W. Frosberg, 4907 14th street northwest, was %rraigned before Judge John P. McMahon in the United States branch of Police Court today. He pleaded not guilty to the charge and, waiving his right to a preliminary hearing, the case went over to the grand jury. Rone is under $5,000 bond. Harry Grossman, arrested with Rone and charged with the same of- fense, pleaded not guilty, waived a preliminary hearing and his case was sent to the grand jury. ‘He is out on $5,000 bond. ~Rone later was arrested on' a charge of holding up and rob= bing Edward Smith, a Chicago detec- tive, motoring through the city, Smit! identifying Rone as one of three men who robbed him on the outskirts of the city while he and his party were repairing engine trouble, was re- leased under that charge when Smith, the complainant, failed to appear to make the formal charge under oath Assistant District Attorney Ralph Given then ordered the release of Rone under that charge, === Two Get Commissions.

MACDONALD AVERS —_— (Continued from First Page.) concluded by an agreement as clear and complete as possible.” Le Journal, which is less enthusi- astic, observes: “A rupture has been avolded. That is the essential fact we have to record today.” Communist View Scornful. To go to the other extreme from Pertinax, the Communist organ L'Humanite sums up the resu’t of the confarence In the following caption: “Germany and France handed over to American finance. Except on this point the Quai D'Orsay conference only underlined disagreements.” The alms and objects of the inter- allied conference to be held in Lon- don, July 16, and the views of France and Great Britaln as to how the con- troversial points at issue may be set- tled, are set forth in a text drawn up yesterday which Prime Minister MacDonald and M. Herriot agreed should be substifuted for the British text which caused a storm of protests in_opposition circles in France. he new text first expresses the satisfaction of the allies that the United States has decided to have a representative present at the con- ference. Then it sets forth a series of provisions: First, both countries confirm their acceptance of the Dawes report; second, they agree that the arrangements to be made under the Dawes plan must not infringe upon governments undertake to confer im- mediately as to the measures for putting into effect the penalties, con- cerning which they shall have come to an agreement previously for their protection and for the protection of the subscribers to the loan to Ger- Many. French Consent to American. French statesmen consented that afi American be called in to sit with the commission and to vote on the ques- tion of whether Germany at any time is failing to carry out her obliga- tions under the plan. Both agreed to pursue the ques- tion of security either through the league of nations or otherwise until | a definite settlement was reached. The result of the conference be- tween the two premiers is regarded in French circles as strengthening the Herriot cabinet and likely to save it from disaster in the Senate. It is re- marked in opposition circles, how- ever, ‘that the abandonment by M Herriot of French preponderance in the reparation commission may pro- voke criticism. as it makes possible a majority in the commission report- ing claims of less than 40 per cent of the reparation due from Germany. It was understood last night that N re $16.75 $10.75.

GASOLINE PRODUCTION Senate Must Approve American on Reparations Body. It was pointed out that the treaty with Germany provided that the United States would have no connec- tion with the allied reparation ma- chinery except after approval by the Senate. The present American repre- sentation with the commission has purposely been maintained with the utmost_informality with a view to kfefiflng this condition always in sight. Oficials nere were unable to con- ceive " the plan _which apparently would recognize the informal status of the American delegate and give him a very formal and official voice in the commission’s deliberations. Only the first brief press dis- patches have been read here, and it was said that no public comment could be expected on the plan until it was presented in more detail. Sec- retary Hughes was unaware of the dispatches, being in _attendance at the of Calvin Cooudxe Rl SHOWS NEW HIGH TOTAL May Report Places Output at 780,194,019 Gallons, Exceeding April by 11,000,000 Gallons.
