U.S. ARBITRATION INEUROPE DOUBTED London Press Sees No Like- lihood Aloofness Will Be Materially Modified. POINCARE CRITIC OF PLAN Former French Premier Has No Fear of American as Umpire, ‘But Dislikes Idea. By the Associated Press, LONDON, July 11.—The proposal of Premiers MacDonald and Herriot to appoint American representative on the reparation commission when dealing with possible German de- falcation under the Dawes report is the subject of further editorial com- ment this morning, but there is lit- tla confidence that such an appoint- ment is lkely The Times says the suggestion rather like the counsel of despair, since it is difficult to imagine that the United States government in the present circumstances could think of declared policy with treaty of Versaille an reversing its reference to the all its orzans he Morning Post says: “It is ab- surd for Burope to look to America unless to put forward a business proposition. The Americans are busi- people, not idealists.

Acceptance. The Westminster Gazette 1 “How can we expect the United States | to supply a member on a commission which is bound up with a treaty| which she refuses to indorse? It seems incredible that any one should expect the United States to take up such an anomalous position as the new suggestion implies.” Referring to the appointment of an American as a possibility, the Daily Mall says: “We may reasonably hope that his vote would be given in favor of adequate payment by Ger- many, seeing that this country, as one of the results of the war, is paying the United States one thousand mil- 1ion poun The Daily Express in a news note s it is hoped America will agree the proposal and that it is held there is no reason why she should refuse to participate in the repara- tion commission when the Dawes re- port and the German loan are under consideration. Premier Wins Praise. The diplomatic correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, assuming that the Washington government would not sanction American membership on the | commission, says: “The alternative of calling in the agent general for rep- arations, who under the Dawes scheme is to be an American, is » questionable device, seeing that he Is a subordinate of the commission and could hardly act as arbitrator, when, owing to his office, he might conceiv- ably be found in the position of a complainant. Premier Macdonald receives some remarkably warm commendation from the opposition press upon his Paris trip. "1e nas saved the conference, pre- vented an open disagreement be- tween Great Britain and France on the eve of the conference and made it possible to go on with the work preparatory to application of the Dawes report,” says the Times. The same credit is given him by the Morning Post. the Daily Mail and the Dai ews, but it I8 stressed that the situation is still full of difficulties and that, while for the present there is no reason to assume that the con- ference will fail, it certainly is not to bave an easy task. POINCARE HITS NEW PLAN. rop ill come asks: | 3 to Sees Britain Trying to Scuttle Rep- arations Body. By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 1l—Former Premier Poincare spoke yesterday for about five hours in the Senate on the sub- ject of the Dawes report and German reparations. He also discussed the interviews “between the British prime minister and Premier Herriot. M. Poincare declared that a_begin- ning ought to be made by Germany voting laws necessary under the ex- perts’ report. If Germany signed an- other protocol it would be another German signature, and that was all. “To sum up,” he continued, “what- ever sacrifices the experts’ report imposes on us, it offers us guaran- that others have failed to M. Poincare was of the opinion that “the true aim of the British foreign office is to get rid of the reparation commission.” The British government had de- clared that the commission had be- come the instrument of Franco-Bel- gian policy, but, he added: ‘“We reply that France has 52 per cent of reparations assigned to it, and has only used its preponderant vote once and then not in connection with Ger- man_affairs. “We have accepted the experts' plan, not jealously, but to end things and 'in a spirit of conciliation. It grants Germany great advantages, although these advantages are only temporary.” Does Not Favor United States. He was not satisfied with the com- munique dealing with the latest in- terview between Premiers MacDon- ald and Herriot, saying: “It seems to restrict and modify the powers of the reparation commission. I have no fear of the addition of an American delegate to the commission, but it is singular to see such precautions taken against us.” M. Poincare concluded by reiterat- ing that France ought to evacuate the Ruhr only as Germany pays, and he defended his policy against the frequently made charge of being purely negative by pointing out that it had led to the report of the ex- perts.” BERLIN IS DISAPPOINTED. | Press Sees Littls for Germany in Paris Agreement.

BERLIN, July 11.—Berlin newspaper comment reflects disappointment _over “ the outcome of the interview in Paris between Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain and Premier Herriot of France. The Nationalist organs, as usual. seize the opportunity to condemn the German government for accepting the Dawes report without first obtain- ing from the allles binding guarantees regarding its execution.

Several members of the President’s party, including the cabinet mem- bers, Frank W. Stearns of Boston and Mrs. Stearns, missed the trip to the home of the President's father ac Plymouth after the service at the cemetery. The automobiles were slow in getting away from the ceme- tery and they lost the presidential car, making the return immediately to Ludlow. At the farm house home the family rested while Col. Cooltdge packed up for his journey to the White House. Later Mrs. Coolidge and John took a short walk about the grounds. RESTS IN VERMONT HILLS. Body Consigned to Grave With Simple, Touching Rites. By the Asxociated Press. PLYMOUTH, Vt., July 11.—In the little village cemetery where the maples and evergreens throw long | shadows across the old tombstones |on the hillside, they buried Calvin oolidge, sixteen-year-old son name- sake of the President, yesterday. Re- straining in large part outward manifestation of their sorrow, the President, Mrs. Coolidge and John, | the elder son, stood with bowed heads during the short, simple commitment service, until a marine bugler had blown “taps” across the grave. The cemetery where Calvin was laid to rest lies on a little hill dom- inated by the Green mountains, which overshadow this village. In the fam- ily plot lie the mother of the Presi- dent, ancestors and kinsmen, and in | the same grassy row where the grave was dug are spaces reserved for the last resting places of the P John and his mother. Hrsident Ofcinls With Party. Much of officlal Washington, in- cluding eight cabinet members, and the Speaker of the nation’'s House of Rep- resentatives, and the governors of two states, attended the services. The party from Washington came in the closely guarded train, which was halted at Northampton for services in the Ed- wards Congregational Church, where Calvin was a member. After the last note of taps had echoed away the family group went for a short time to the old white farmhouse of the President’s father, John C. Coolidge, where the Presi- dent took his oath of office on August 3 a year ago. Then, accompanied by the elder Coolidge, the little family, broken now by death, started on the journey back to Washington. The funeral party upon arrival yesterday at the Ludlow railroad station, as the six marines from the presi- dential yacht Mayflower, who had guarded ‘the boy's Lier constantly in Washington and orn the train, car- ried the casket to the waiting hearse. Then the procession, more than { mile long, drove over the long roa among the hills to the burial ground. Walk Up Hillside. The party was forced to walk up the hillside to the spot where the grave had been prepared. After the marines had lowered the casket into place, a mixed quartet sang “My Falth Looks Up to Thee.” Rev. Ken- neth B. Welles, Northampton pastor, who had accepted Calvin into the church, read a few short passages frcm the Bible, then offered a brief prayer. Softly, again, the quartet sang, avior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us. fter reciting the verses of the hymn “He Leadeth Me,” Rev. Jason N. Plerce, pastor of 'the First Congre- gatfonal Church, in Washington, read the commitment service. In the course of the prayer Mrs. Coolldge brushed away tears and leaned heavily upon the President. The hands of the elder John Cool- idge, holding his hat, trembled no- ticeably. On the hillside and on the slope across the road were gathered hundreds of villagers, silent and sympathetic. Mrn. Coolidge Comforted. The strains of a hymn comforted the sorrowing mother, however, and, looking up, she seemed to take re- newed strength. Taps were sounded then by the same marine bugler who had sounded the notes at the funerals of former President Wilson and President Hard. ing and at the services for America’s Unknown Soldler. As the exercises ended Boy Scouts, to which organization Calvin had be- longed, filed by the grave, each drop- Ping a'rose as he passed. The services at the cemetery were short, lasting less than twenty min- utes.’ After the services a detail of ten enlisted men of the Vermont Na- tional Guard, under the command of Capt. K. F. Underwood, was placed on guard over the boy’s grave. They will remain on duty at the cemetery until Sunday. Additional troopers Were posted on the corners and roads nearby. Luncheon at Old Home, After the ceremony at the grave, the President's car, carrying the President, Mrs. Colidge, their son John, the grandfather, John C. Cool- idge, and Mrs. Andrew Goodhue, Mrs. Coolidge’s mother, drove to the Cool- idge homestead, where, with a few close relatives they were served a simple luncheon. Following a time-honored _custom not without its touch of pathos, to- day the President took his son John out to the front veranda and there, on the doorpost, marked his height and the date. Then, a little above, the President drew a second line and marked it “C. C." the height that Calvin would have been. The post was marked many times, each apparently on the occasion of some new visit of the boys to the homestead. The sun had dropped far toward the hills in the west as the little family group, already far behind the time at first arranged for their de- parture, turned away from the old homestead on their return to_Lud- low and thence by train for Wash- ington. It was nearly 4:30 standard time as the last car swung out of the village. D. C. QUARTET RETURNS. Four Who Sang at Coolidge Boy’s Funeral Back.

Feels Germany Slighted. The manner in which Germany ap- parently has been omitted from all consideration in connection with the manner in which the Dawes report ig to be put into execution suggests to Die Zeitu, Foreign Minister Strese- ipann’s organ, one of the gravest fea- tures of the present situation. it gives renewed cmphasis to the expressly declared that Germany ob- viously “would be incapacitated to fulfill the condition as long as her financial and economic unity remained disrupted.

President Ber- nardes, replying to a spokesman in the Chamber of Deputies, said that in the hour of trial the support glven by the best elements in the nation encouraged the government to grap- ple with the difficult problems facing it. He added that the gratifying ad- hesion of the state government: police and public throughout the country showed that the common gense of the nation would prevail. The Brazillan cruiser which was sent to Buenos Aires to participate in the celebration of the Argentine In- dependence day, July 9, yesterday re- celved orders to depart at full speed for Santos. The hurried departure is sald to have been caused by the insurrection. The officers of the cruiser expressed regrets that they were unable to attend a banquet which was to have been given In their honor last night by the Argentine ministry of marine. It has been impossible to obtain either denial or confirmation from Rio de Janeiro of the report that the state of Parana and part of the state of Rio Grande have joined the revolu- tionary movement.

Official etatements emphasize how- ever, that “all the state governors have telegraphed to President Ber- nardes offering to send local -troops to support the federal government.” The following official announcement was made from Rio yesterday: “The general staff, first located at Mogy Das Cruzes has moved its head- quarters nearer to the city of Sao Paulo. Regular troope are closing in on the positions in the city held by the revolutionists in an orderly man- ner and are endeavoring to avoid damaging the city. Bombardment of the Brasil raiiroad station has caused consternation among the rebels, who have been using stocks of food stored there and who are now without this resource.

Back in Washington for a few tent; why should we do such a thing? months’ vacation, Simplicio and Lucto | This is Tow we are and this is how Godina, famed Filipino twins, whose bodies are joined above the hips, to- day announced In an interview that, although they have been assured at ‘Walter Reed Hospital and Johns Hop- kins University that separation can be accomplished successfully by sur- gery, they prefer to remain as God made them and go through life bound to each other. ‘When one dies the other will live but a few moments, it is believed, but this is as they prefer it. De- voutly religious, they feel this is the will of the Creator, who allowed them to come into the world as they are. Such they will remain. T. R. Yangco, widely remembered in official and diplomatic circles here as the former resident commissioner from the Philippine Islands, is with them. He Is their legal guardian. He was present while they talked, interested and lively, anent them- selves. Smilingly Announces Motto. “United, we stand; divided, we fall,” sald Lucio, smilingly. “Thus we are and thus we shall remain,” echoed Simplicio. “We know we have two souls and two consciences and there is no doubt about us being two peo- ple.” he continued, while Lucio in- terrupted now and then with an af- firmation. “We do not think the same thoughts at the same time, and neither are we always entirely in accord on varfous things. But we feel htat we do not want to be separated. We have no fear of death because we have been assured that the operation would be comparatively simple. But we are happy as we are; we are con we shall stay.” And the twin agreed. What hurt them deeply though was the refusal of accommodations, when the clerk caught sight of them, at a hotel where they had lived when formerly in Washington. They quick- ly found rooms at a second hotel. Most hurtful to their feelings, how- ever, they said, was the fact that they were told almost in 8o many O oy, eremot] manted at the hotel where they were re- jected. They could understand such treatment might be accorded were they not cuitured and refined. But it is beyond them, they declared, after they were given the freedom of the port of Naples and high honors on the European continent, during a tour, why Washington should have a hotel which would turn down a re quest for accommodation. They lived here for a year and a half, while Mr. Yangco was on Capitol Hill. It wasn't fifteen minutes after the in- terview got under way before they were recalling spots of special interest in thelr memory of the city. One particularly important point is the foot of Ordway street, where they narrowly missed death one winter day during a eleigh ride. Boys Happy and Content. The boys have grown a foot, literally, since they were last in Washington They are happy and contented with life. They seem to enjoy themselves thorough- ly. Mr. Yangco doesn't hesitate to state how much he thinks of his wards, and they in turn have no reluctance in stat. ing how deeply they are attached to him. He is seeing to it that they receive the best possible education. And the thing that is holding up decision as to whether they remain in Washington for studies is the fact that such an arrangement would cause them to be away from their guardian, who wants to be near them and they desire to be with him. _—_—mmmmm HANIHARA LEAVES D.

LA FOLLETTE NEN ATTACK BARRIERS Nelson Working to Overcome Obstacles to Independent’s Name on Ballots. By Consolidated Press. CHICAGO, July 11.—Obstacles are rising to hamper the inclusion of the name of Robert Marion La Follette on the November ballots as an inde- pendent candidate for President, but Congressman John M. Nelson, man- ager of the La Follette campaign, claims that preparations have been made to meet the situation in each state. Despite difficulties, he says that every voter in the nation will find the candidate’s name on his ballot, either as an independent or as repre- sentative of the Farmer-Labor or So- clalist party. Theodore Roosevelt, when he or- ganized the Bull Moose party in 1912 was unable to get recognition in three states, Election laws in those commonwealths prevented inclusion of the new party designation on the ballots. Most of the present difficultics are arising in states which require peti- tions signed by varying proportions of the voters, in order to obtain in- dependent representation. Most com- monwealths give until one month be- fore the November election for inde- pendent candidates to file petitions and gain a place on the ballot. A comprehensive survey has just been made of the various state require- ments, by the legislative reference library bureau of Wisconsin, for n- ator La Follette. ‘This revealed, =o Representative Nel- son maintains, that Idaho alone pre- sented serious difficulties. Inde- pendent candidates elsewhere were reported to be provided for through petition. California, however, is now reported to be presenting new trouble, and it is explained that there, if necessary, the Socialist party may be called upon. The Socialists this vear have no candidate of their own. but have agreed to back the La Foliete move- ment. ————— GOMPERS RECOVERING FROM NERVOUS STRAIN Veteran Labor Leader Reported Convalescing Satisfactorily at Coney Island Hospital.

America Loses Hubbard. | The American track and field forces suffered a blow today when it devel- oped that De Hart Hubbard, the negro star, winner of the broad jump, was definitely out of the hop, step and jump as the result of a stone bruise on the heel. Hubbard, who sustained the injury in the first take-off of the broad jump Tuesday, hobbled onto the field today with the aid of a cane, declaring he would not compete in the hop, step and jump, as a further mishap might mean a serious disablement. The University of Michigan man had been counted upon to score high in, and possibly win, the hop, step and jump event.

AGAIN SENT TO HOSPITAL Arizona Member’s Statement Holds Veterans Should Be Treated Better by Officials. Disagreement broke out today be- tween Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona, and officials of the Veterans: Bureau over the case of a colored ex-soldier who was brought to the bureau by the senator yesterday with a demand for immediate action and relief. Senator Ashurst charged that the bureau was not doing what it should for the veterans of the world war considering the fact that the bureau gets one-eighth, he said, of the fed- eral government's money and has ample legislation to spend it. Says He Served Briefly. Bureau officials in going over which the senator brought private office of Col. George ljams, acting director, announced that the man in question, George Mc- Kay, had been in the Army less than two' months, after the world war, having enlisted July 3, 1920, and hav- ing been discharged August 21, 1920, on a “certificate of disability.” He should never have been enlisted on account of his “flat feet,” said burwmu oficials. Senator Ashurst asserted tn & etate- ment today that the bureau should eo better and quicker work for all its beneficiaries. He said the negro had appealed to him for aid, and had been in pain from broken arches and hunger. In some instances, the sena- tor said, the bureau was doing well but it should do better. He did not wish to “muckrate” the bureau, the senator explained. Man Sent to Hospital, Bureau officials said the senator brought a number of persons, new paper men among them, to the burcau along with the negro, and made dramatic appeal for the man. McKay was sent to Walter Reed Hospital, from which officials said he had once before been “absent without leave,” when he was there for examination. He is at the hospita! now, it was explained, for final ob- servation and diagnosis. The official records case, show that the amined, was “well developed, well nourished, weighing 188 pounds and 6 feet 2%’ inches tall.” S e MANUFACTURERS PLAN TO BRING OUT VOTERS National Association to Carry on Campaign Through 200,000 Members. the in McKay's negro, when ex- Aroused by while in a statistical report that 1896, 80 per cent of the eligible voters of the country cast eir ballots, than 50 per cent exercised their right to franchise in National Association of Manufacturers today notified its Washington office that the more than manufacturers of the United States immediately will inaugurate a “get-out-the-vote” campaign The effort will be non-partisan and in the broad spirit of urging every one to go to the polls and vote—vote as thev please—but vote, according to John E. Edgerton, president of the assoclation. He adds that if the people all would vote, there need be no fear of radicalism or bolshevism. as the overwhelming number of con- servative Americans would over- balance a radical move. “It is neither our disposition nor our intention to suggest to any one what party ticket he shall vote, President Edgerton explains, ‘nor for what man on any ticket he shall vote. Our thought is non-partisan our activity will be equally non- partisan. We do, and shall, appeal for a citizenship which performs, as against one which sleeps.” National organizations of all kinds, industrial. commercial, labor, civic, church and fraternal. will be directly urged, the association plans, to throw themselves into the campaign with the view of bringing about an elec- tion that will be truly representative of the will of the people. AIR PHOTOS OF INVISIBLE CITY MADE BY SCIENCE Lieuts. Macready and Stevens of the Army Air Service ascended in an air- Dlane 32,220 feet above Dayton, Ohio, a few weeks ago, says Popular Science Monthly for Augus At that height the airplane was invisible from the ground. When they looked down, the city was obscured by a blue haze. Yet they snapped their camera several times and obtained remarka- able photographs of the city—pictures in which the buildings, even the auto- mobiles in the streets, were deflned clearly. That they were able to make pic- tures of objeots invisible to them was due to three factors—an extra-long- focus camera, super-speed film, and a “minus blue” ray filter that absorbed the ground haze. No aerial photo- graph ever before had been made from such a height as six miles. NEW BOOTLEGGER DRIVE. Police Seek to Rid Downtown Dis- trict of Hooch Venders.

Kane, precinct detective, to continue his efforts to arrest all such persons, and the drive will be continued until the practice is broken up. Three arrests were made vesterday by the detective and Revenue Agents Murphy, Bence and Teller, in connec- tion with the drive, and an automo- bile and small quantities of liquor seized. The men arrested registered as Wil- liam Hamilton, twenty-four, 1519 Webster _street; Meredith - Marma- duke, thirty-one, St. James Hotel, and James Spart, twenty-three, 810 12th street. —_—— 2 SCHOOL SITES SOUGHT.
