PARK COMMITTEE LEAVES THIS WEEK Experts of Southern Appa-| lachian Body to Tour South, Inspecting Sites. WORK WILL MAKE TRI Interior Department Reports Wide Interest in New National Project. Proceeding with their investiga- tion of a site for the proposed east- ern national park, the entire per- sonnel of the Southern Appalachian National Park Committee will leave for the South the latter part of this week to select the best available site. Secretary of the Interior Work will accompany the party, which will be joined in the South by Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park service. The party will first stop at Gaines- ville, Ga., where the committee will examine sites, and then will proceed to Asheville, N. C,, making a survey of the mountain vegions in that sec- tion. From Asheville the party will| g0 to Knoxville and vicinity, looking | over the Great Smoky Mountain range as far north as Cumberland Gap. Experts on Committee. Members of the committee include some of the highest authorities on park development and composed of the following: Henry W. Tample, chairman, and member of Congress from Pennsylvania; Maj. W. A, Welsh, general manager of the Pali- sades Interstate Park, New York: Harlan P. Kelsey, representative of the Appalachian Mountain Club; W. C. Gregg of the National Arts Club N. Y., and Col. Glenn S. Smith of the Geological Survey. Because of the scenic areas of dis- tinctive quality in the southern Ap- palachians, an announcement of the Interior Department said, it was de- cided to limit the selection of the proposed site to the mountainous re- gion south of Pennsylvania. One of the conditions imposed in the final choice, it was added, is that it “must maintain the standard, dignity and prestize of the existing national park system.” The proposal to create a_ national park in the Appalachian Mountains has aroused widespread interest, the department said, “as it will afford an opportunity for the great mass of citizenry living in the crowded East, that cannot undertake a long trip to the West, to visit a national park in their own vicinity.” North and South overland travel is developing very ly. and for a part of the year. . a national park in this se tion would afford camping opportuni- ties and encourage recreational va- cations to visitors from the Eastern and Southern cities. REPUBLICAN DRIVE ALREADY STARTED (Continued from First Page.) emies desire to make this, as some of them have said, a campaign based on the personality of the candidates. We will be ready. If they desire to base the election on pledges or party rec- ords, we will not be disturbed. Will of People. “I have been impressed everywhere with the fact that this election will come nearer expressing the will of the people than any which we have recently held. here is no denying that the gen- eral broadcasting of the Republican and Democratic conventions has given the people of the country a more di- rect interest in the campaign than they have ever had befors. Millions of people through the radio were able this vear to sit at home and hear the wheels revolve themselves. They feel they have secured an insight into po- litical activities which they never have enjoyed before, and as a result there is m sober serious thinking on the campaign as something vital- 1y connected with the prosperity of the nation rather than merely a con- test for office between candidates. “I think those of us who listened in must all have had sober moments when from the convention halls the actual voices of the delegates came to our ears, as well as the disturbances and inter- ruptions. “This largely explains the extraordi- nary number of letters which I have re- ceived from citizens who in the past have regarded politics as an incident, who are now setting forth their desire to aid in our campaign and who stand ready to serve. Participation of People. “I have considered this so important that 1 have already advised our tional committéemen, our State chair- men and all associated in the campaign management that I am particularly anx. ious they should encourage in every wa. the participation of the people in the actual campaign activities. “The election belongs to the people. ‘We are planning a campaign in which all can have a part. I spoke yester. day about my belief that the total vote cast this year would exceed any total ever cast before. My thought is based on what information has been brought to me. I have always had a feeling of concern over the great stay-at-home vote, which per- sists through _elections and wholly apart from our own success I feel it is a national undertaking to see that this stay-at-home vote is stirred out of its apathy, and made to function. I have no thought that all the new votes will be cast for the Coolidge- Dawes ticket, but as an American 1 am ready to say that I feel, though they may not all vote with us this year, their attention at the polls will give me a feeling of satisfaction. “I would like to discusé individual States and prospects with you gen- tlemen. 1 have some information which T think is of interest. T am ready to say that this is rather cheer- ful information, but I doubt if this is the time. Even during my short stay in Washington I have received additional information of an author! tative nature as to election prospects in States which some of you gentle- men have been trying to list as doubtful, which is most encouraging.” Mr. Butler spent yesterday in ash- ington, in conference with President Coolidge and with a number of Re- publican: leaders, including . Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania and former Representative F. C. Hicks of New York. The latter, Mr. Butler an- nounced, would take thirge of the national committee headquarters in New York. Several leaders from Maryland, West Virginia and Dela- ware also were in conference with. Mr. Batler. Mr. Butler s3id that the Republican campaign would be carried into evary section of the country, There would be no effort to limit the campaign to ' any special group of States. The Repyblican party, he said, intends to make a national appeal for support. New Pastor Expected. Spectal Dispateh to The Star. KEYSER, W. Va, July 22.—Rev. A. 0.

Treaty Rights Reserved. All the existing rights of the signa- tory powérs under the treaty of Ver- sailles in conjunction with the Dawes report are reserved. There is some apprehension in conferenc. les over reports from Berlin regarding German opinion of the methods by which the work here is proceeding. but as vet there is no ntimation of when-the Germans will be called in. The conferees are clbsely watching the reaction in the United States regarding the opinion in Germany. But the main interest centers around the reaction in finan- cial circles through the provisions set forth for the protection of in- vestors in the German loan Tt was learned that a plens sion would not be held toda that probably the report of the com- mittee on default and sanctions would not be considered at any plenary meeting until sufficient time had elapsed to ascertain just how it had been received. It was even in- timated that should the bankers withhold their assent to its provi- sions it might be modified. This, however, met with an emphatic nega- tive from the French delegation. Want Wide Investment. While British and American bank- ers are being relied upon to take up the bulk of the proposed German loan, it became known last night that hopes gre entertained that some por- tion of it will be subscribed on the continent. The conviction is that the more widely this investment distributed the, more active interest will the world have in the economic restoration, which it is so confidently hoped it will bring about. One_observer declared that when the choice lay between the Dawes plan and no alternative except fur- ther chaos, it would be possible for many interests, which are at present adamant to modify their views. Among all the delegations the con- viction remains unshaken that any program upon which Great Britain, France and the United States ulti- mately reached unanimous agreement has a good prospect of realization. There is little doubt among the delegates that the problems betore the two committees dealing with the restoration of Germany's economic unity and the disposition of German deliveries in kind will ultimately re- solve themselves into equable under- standings. There is sald to be no disagreements in principle in elther of these committe¢s. Debts Not Discusaed. With regard to“the various state- ments published in Paris concerning the question of interallied debts, it was reiterated last night that this question is cntirely outside the pur- view of the present conference, the only task of which is to consider.| putting_into operation the Dawes plan. The view repeatedly expressed here is that consideration of the question of interaliied debts and the question of French and Belgian Se- curity will have to be delayed until a further date. King George yesterday afternoon received in audience at Buckingham Palace M. Herriot, M. Theunis and M. Hymans. The King greeted the delegates very cordially and in his conversation with them expressed an earnest hope that success might at- tend the labors of the conference. For the present the King will not receive the delegates in a body, but some of them will be received daily and the King will get in personal touch with as many of them as time and opportunity will permit. United States’ Bankers Cautious. he Daily Telegraph, in an em- ph:u: Statement, vesterday, declared that a hitch has occurred in the con- ference, due especially to the Ameri- can bankers being disinclined to take up the loan on the strength of guar- antees embodied in the protocol framed last Saturday. The Telegraph's diplomatic expert stated that Premier MacDonald com- municated the facts regarding this financial obstacle to the chief dele- gates, who received the information with keen disappointment and some feeling. This was the situation, it was said, which led to a prolonged meeting late in the afternoon of the financial delegates with Sir Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, and Thomas Lamont, rep- resenting the firm of J. P. Morgan & . of New York. COrme "bankers, according to the Telegraph, regard the political safe- guard embodied in the mere asso- oiation of an American citizen with the reparation commissien as inade- quate protection to the lenders, inas- Tuch as, in their opinion, the arrange- ment does not altogether insure an impartial majority ~on that body. They frankly dislike Article TV of the protocol, it was said, which they regard as ambiguous and containing 2 possible loophole for one power or the other to take independent sanc- tions in the future. Need German Good Will. he bankers also hold, the news: i Tpe: declares, that German good will is indispensable to the loan, while some of the financiers are worried over the railroad problem and ‘allied military_demands regarding_it. The Telegraph writer adds that the difficulty is that, while all pow- ers, including France, would be willing to improve upon the financial guarantees contained in Saturday’s protocol, the French government would find it extremely difficult to concede to the financiers what it de- clined to concede the other allied governments in the way of political gugrantees, but the bankers are equally adamant respecting the need of those additional guarantees. HUGHES WARNS PARLEY. Safety of Loan Must Be Unques- tioned, Secretary Asserts. By Osble to The Star and_ Chicago Dal T Ol e Conpane kT Y LONDON, July 22.—Ensuring Ger- many’s good will in accepting as well as in applying the Dawes reparations scheme has become the paramount issue in the allied conterences. Lamont, Montague, Norman and other banking experts regard the sateguards already proposed for' in- vestors in the German loans as in- sufcient. Hence they are trying to bring about new financial guarantees. This attitude was well supported by Secretary Hughes in a speech at the Pilgrims’ dinner last night when he declared that all discussion of the Dawes scheme would prove fruitless until arrangements were made satis- factory to investors and the public. Extreme importance was attached today to Secretary Hughes' state ment by diplomatic observers. Mr. Hughes undoubtedly incorporated this idea in his speech, knowing well critical discussions.that were takin, place among _the allied premiers. to Secretaty of State Hughes. \If France Can Invade Germany fect, as is witnessed by the con- ferences proceeding between minis- ters and bankers toda. M. Herriot has asked for time in which to consider the protocol to be signed by Germany. He wants his judicial advisers to frame a docu- ment which clearly keeps within the scope of the treaty of Varsailles. This work is expected to require a day or two. Hence, it is unlikely that the German representatives will be called before Thursday, perhaps not until the week end. BELGIANS HAVE NEW PLAN. Compromise on Penalties Will Be Given to Parley. By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 22.—News received at the foreign office this morning to the effect that Premier Thenuis of Bel- gium had frimed a compromise on penalties which was to come before the interallied conference in London afternoon with chapces of being pted both by the allies and rep- r ntatives of the bankers as giving both the necessary asgurances, caused a great deal of satisfaction in French political circles. The ups and downs of the London negotiations have caused no little anxiety here. There is a general dis- position, it seems, to accept any rea- sonable ¢ promise Premier Herriot finds it necessary to make. - Both houses of Parliament have been convoked: for July 29 on the supposition thaf the premier will be back in Paris and ready to report by that time. BERLIN AWAITS INVITATION. Delegates Will Not Go to London Except as Equals. Ry the Axsociated Press BERLIN, July 22.—Until the Ger- man government is officlally apprised by the London interallied confer- ence that the presence of its repre- sentatives is desired there in con- nection with current discussions, no announcement will be forshcoming from official quarters regarding the personnel of the German delegation. Up to late last night the foreign office was still without positive in- formation that an official invitation was under advisement in London Inspired communiques appearing this evening in the newspapers indi- cate that Chancellor Marx and For- eign Minister Stresemann would pro- ceed to London only jf Germany were afforded an unobstructed opportunity to negotiate over the method in which the Dawes plan is to be put into execution. Neither would under- take the trip if the presence of Ger- mans in London was required merely for ratifying an interallied pact which had been arranger without Germany's previous approval or consent.

LONDON, July — Ambassador and Mrs. Kellogg were hosts this aft- ernoon to the visiting American law- yers. The pleasant gardens of Crewe House were crowded until a severe hail and rain storm drove everybody indoors. The guests were presented 22, Tonight Secretary Hughes will dine at the Middle Temple, which has had legal associations with America since the day of Sir Walter Raleigh. Five signers of the Declaration of Inde- pendence were members, while for- mer President Willlam H. Taft, Mr. Kellogg and John W. Davis, former Ambassador to Great Britain, are honorary benchers. Visitors Throng Courts. The lawyers spent the morning in the British Law Courts. Hundreds of them thronged the corridors of the courtrooms in the big Gothic build- ings in the Strand and watched the British administration of justice by barristers and judges in wig and gown. Two courts of appeal and most of the king's bench courts were sitting. Those presided over by the Lord [ Andrew Mellon, Chief Justice and by Justice Darling, one of the most picturesque person- alities of the ‘British bar, were be- seiged by Americans. The divorce court, with Justice Horridge on the bench, attracted many of the over- seas attorneys. In one courtroom, where a case was proceeding involving the _application of American law to an intricate ques- tion in marine insurance, a number of American lawyers were called to give evidence as_experts on the dispute. Julius_H. Cohn, a member of the New York bar, who was in the box throughout the morning session, un- derwent cross-examination by R. A. Wright, an expert English comnter- cial advocate.

DENIED Property Owners Asked Limit of One Hour—Board Calls It Unwise. A petition signed by a long list of property owners asking that the parking of automoblles be limited to one hour on Sixteenth street between H street and Scott Circle was turned down by the Commissioners today. They acted on recommendation of the traMio board, composed of Maj. ‘W. H. Holcombe, Inspector Albert J. Headley and Assistant Corporation Counsel Ringgold Hart. Parking already is limited to one Four on Sixteenth strect from H to K streets, because those two squares #re within the so-called congested arca. Between K and M streets the present parking limit is two hours. From M street to Scott Circle there is unlimited parking. Many Regulations Now. “In’the opinion of the traffic board,” said Maj. Holcombe's report, “Six- teenth street outside the congested section is already provided with more than its share of special regulations, and certainly with more than can| properly be enforced today. ‘he idea of an enforced time limit within the congested section is that | motorists can park their cars on the outskirts and walk the remaining dis- tance to their destinations within the congested section “If Sixteenth street is accorded further special consideration, other streets are entitled to like consideration. The effect will only be to extend the congested section beyond all reason- able limits and beyond the area that can properly be policed from a traf- fic point of view. The trafic board does not favor any change in the regulations affecting parking on Six- teenth street.” The list of applicants for the one- hour restriction included the names of several Senators.

The American Secretary of State spoke before ‘one of the most distin- guished gatherings of men prominent in the public life of England and America that has ever assembled in London, and his words were enthu- siastically heard by 400 members of the Pilgrims and their guests.

By the Awsociated Press. NEWPORT, R. L, July 22.—Four passengers, three men and one woman, are known to have been killed when the oil tanker Swiftarrow crashed into the Eastern Steamship liner Boston off Point Judith late last night. Thelr bodies were seen in the wreckage of two staterooms when the Boston was towed into Newport harbor and beached there today. Identification of the bodies was impossible here. They were caught behind ship's plates that had been crushed in and it was sald that the plates would have to be cut with gas torch before the bodies could be extricated. Several passengers are known to have been injured. Of these tne most serfously hurt so far as known is C. Copeland of Brookline, Mass. He was rushed to this port on board the coast guard cutter Acushnet and taken to a hospital, where he died at noon, while physicians were contem- plating an operation. Passengers and crew were taken off in lifeboats and transferred to rescu- ing steamers and naval vessels which hurried to the scenc after receiving the Boston's radio calls for help. A few were landed Kere by the steamer Commonwealth, which proceeded to Fall River with other survivors. A large number went aboard the Fall River liner Priscilla, due in New York this afternoon. Among those on the Priscilla is the purser of the Boston, who took with him the only available passenger list. Survivors Semt Ashore. The damaged, Swiftarrow apparently un- stood by the Boston until daylight. Then she proceeded to an anchorage outside Newport, whence she sent ashore nine boats contain- ing passengers from the Boston. The Swiftarrow was bound from Tuxpam, Mexico, for Fall River with oil. The collision came in a dense fog. The tanker struck the Boston amid- ships on the port side, cutting a gash thirty feet lons and twenty feet high, three fect above the water line. A number of staterooms were crushed in, and it was there that the casual- ties occurred. | The meeting in the fog of the Bos- ton and the Swiftarrow was described by Chief Officer A. C. Morton of the with Capt. Alfred W. Call, skipper of the Boston, and a quarter- master, Morton was on the bridge when the crash came.

Husband, Ignorant of Wite's Death, Taken to Hospital. FALL RIVER, Mass., July 22.—Mrs Oscar Green of Brookiyn, N. Y., was killed in her berth on the steamer Boston in the colliston with the Swift Arrow last nizht. This was learned when her husband arrived here today on one of the rescue steamers. Mr. Green was taken to a hospital here suffering from a shoulder injury and from shock. He had not been in- formed of his wife's death. He and Mrs. Green occupied stateroom 48, which was at the point on the Bos- ton’s side where the prow of the tank steamer struck. The walls of the room were crushed in and Mrs. Green was killed instantly. Mr. Green was in a dazed condition on his arrival here. He carried his wife's furs and gome other garments and evidently was under the impression that she had been taken aboard another res- cue ship. The steamers Plymouth and Com- monwealth of the Fall River Line brought to this port 167 of the pas sengers from the Boston. Many were suffering from minor injuries, but Mr. Green was the only one taken to a hospital All the passengers arriying on the Plymouth, numbering 130 and those brought in by the Commonwealth, with the exception of Green, were transterred to a train and taken to Boston immediately. Among them were C. B. Carberry, managing edi- tor of the Boston Post, and Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Hope of the Hotel Somer- set, Boston.
