L. Saw Car Whizz By. When last heard from by his sta- tion house Leisinger had reported at 2:51 o'clock from the box at Lincoln road and R street. It was later learn- ed he had stopped at a lunchroom in the vicinity for a cup of coffee and was about due to report again from another box. Private La Dow had just reported to the station at North Capitol and New York avenue, when he saw the car and Leisinger whizz by The big car when last seen had turned off 1 into First street, and was making furlous speed. Its oc- cupants, according to Policeman La Dow, were four or five colored perosns and possibly a white girl about 21 or 22 years old. She was wearing a pink dress. Fate played several curious parts in the circumstances surrounding the death of the young policeman. His life insurance policy for $1,000 in the Brotherhood of AmeYican Yeomen had become effective only yesterd: His little son Raymond, aged 9, on the same day fell out of a swing in the playground of the Burroughs School, near the home, and broke his right arm. Maj. Daniel Sullivan, superintendent of police. announced at noon that a reward of $200 would be paid for the capture of the slayers or for infor- | mation leading to their capture. Leaves Two Children. Sorrow descended over the com- fortable home on Monroe street, where Mr. and Mrs. Leisinger and their two children, Raymond, and 1sabell, aged 11, lived with Mrs. Leisinger’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Magruder. A1l were grief-stricken, but bore up ‘bravely, and with pride in the knowl- | edge that the husband, father, and eon-in-law had been killed in the performance of duty. The widow and children will continue to make their home with her parents, with whom they have lived since her marriage. In a search for every possible clue that might lead to further light on the murder, police of No. 6 have re- covered a bad battered, and ecratched bullet which nearly took the life of Miss Mamie Hayes of 10 I/ street northeast as she lay sleeping. Bullet Hits Near Bed. The battle, police believe, must have been waging hot and furious as the ill-fated and embattled occupants of the murdered car swept by Miss Hayes' window. She was awakened by the sound of shots, as one bullet crashed through her window, near the bed. Capt. Martin Reilly of No. 6 and Headquarters Detective Thomas Sweeney went to Miss Hayes' room Jate this morning. They found the bullet had passed through two panes of glass, as the two window frames had been side by side, had richocheted against an object inside the room, and fallen into a small china bowl on a dresser.

DAWES AIDE SAILS. | Robinson Going to Paris to Col- laborate With Young. LOS ANGELES, Calif., August 2§.— Henry /M. Robinson, president of the First National Bank of Los Angeles, {left yesterday with Mrs. Robinson for { Paris, to collaborate with Owen D. | Young, on the administration of the jDawes reparations plan. Mr. Young served with Mr. Robinson and Gen. Dawes during the original sessions of the Dawes, committees. The bite of a common black and white alley cat caused the death today of ‘William H. Fairchild, owner and manager of Fairchild's bird and pet store, 1215 Ninth street. The official cause of death was given as “cardiac trouble, due to_Septicemla.” Mr. Fairchild and his wife were refurning home from a drive late Sunday night. Upon entering the store, over which they live, they found a cat had entered, suppos- edly from a window left open on the second floor. The cat had attempted to break into numerous bird cages, but, due to the stout wire, had been unsuccessful. In addition, the vigorous protests of Mike, a bull-terrier, had deterred the intruder. Mike had chased the cat into a corner, and it was there that Mr. Fairchild found it. Mr. Fairchild picked the cat up. He started to throw it out of the store. But the animal turned and sunk its teeth into his hand. The bite left three tiny teeth marks on his right hand, but not very deep. The cat immediately fled. | Going - upstairs, -Mr. Fairchild | tionaries required to apply the Daw | the | elections le | the, ¢ Iy WASHINGTON, DAWES PLAN FACES PERIL AS GERMANS BALK AT RATIFYING French May Insist on Going Ahead With Proposal in Any Event.

By the Associated Press PARIS, August 28.—The outlook for ratification by Germany of the Dawes plan agreement, concluded at the recent international conference at London, became worse today, ac- cording to latest news from th, German capital. The Reichstag prob- ably will vote on the pact late to- night, it was learned by officials here. The fresh difficulties of Chancellor Marx's government in obtaining a ratification of the London agreement have surprised the official world in Paris. The telephone lines between here and Berlin were largely occu- pied today with government priority calls. Informal consultations among mem- bers of the reparation commission indicate that President Barthou and his associates are dixposed to appoint an agent general and other func- waiting for the new Their purpose, it is said, is to show Germany that the allics have done everything required of them under the London agreement and that Germany alone prevents putting it into execution Necessary to Wait.

The members of the commission, it is understood, do not feel justified in paying more than $30.000, but they are willing to make zllowances for house rent, staff and certain other expenses so_that agent general's income really would be considerably higher. FINAL SIGNING SATURDAY. Owen D. Allies and Germans to Put Signa- tures on Pact. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 28 —The formal signing of the pact to make effective the Dawes reparation plan, concluded at the recent international confer- ence, will take place at the foreign office, in Downing street, at noon Sat- urday. Sir Eyre Crowe, permanent under- secretary for foreign affairs, will sign on behalf of Great Britain, while the allies and the Germans will be representted by their respective am- bassadors and ministers. While no definite information on the subject has as yet been made public, it is understood that the Ger- man government has signified its in- tention of signing the pact, even should the Reichstag refuse a two- thirds majority for passing the leg- islation necessary to make the Dawes plan’ effective.

By the Associated Press. ON BOARD §. S. BERENGARIA, August 28.—The Prince of Wales was up early today working out strenu- |ously in the Berengaria's well equip- ped gymnasium and showing that he had not been fatigued by his long round of activities yesterday, which began with participation in various athletic competitions, continued with several appearances on the dance floor and terminated with a plunge in the swimming pool. The heir to_the British throne was in particularly gay spirits last eve- ning. He attended a concert and joined heartily in the singing of Ivor Novello's song, conducted by the ac- tor'y mother, Clara Novello Davies, “The Land That Might Have Been. Wales was enthuslastic over the sing- ing of Grace La Rue, the actress, and asked her to sing “The Mountain of Song.” After the dancing and the concert the prince got into his swimming togs and visited the pool which he found crowded with American pas- sengers. He dived and swam for a quarter of an hour before he was recognized and then he darted away. Dodges Girls at Pool. According to the instructor at the pool, Wales tries to time his swims so that he will not be overwhelmed by the admiring attentions of the young lady passengers. Whenever he goes to the pool, according to the in- structor, he always asks when the ladies are due to arrive and as soon as they come he dashes off to his quarters. The young ladies, unde- terred by the retiring attitude of their royal fellow passenger, stand in prominent positions around the pool when they learn that he is approach- ing, but thus far Wales has had the better of the amusing game of hide and seek. Many of the woman passengers are still hoping that the princc will dance with some of the other American girls on board, but thus far Miss Leonora Cahill of St. Louis is the only-one to have had the honor of ppearing on the floor with him. De- spite the demands which his athletic and soclal activities have made on his time the prince has found quarter hours now and then to wander off on his own. Gefiene DYING ON BIRTHDAY.

It could not have been accomplished in any other way. The robbers appar- ently had been tipped off by some one in possession of the very infor- mation which they needed.

The Government had opposed this motion. which was made by Sinclair through Attormeys Martin W. Little- ton, J. W. Zevely, George P. Hoover and G. T. Stanford. All of it was an outgrowth of the Senate hearing which was featured by Sinclair's refusal to answer nine questio Attorney Given Case. These nine questions were pro- pounded by Senator Walsh. Three were later found by Justice Hoehling, in the District Supreme Court, not to be pertinent, and these it held Sin- { clair need not have answered. When Sinclair refused to answer Senator Walsh's questions the committee re- ferred the case to United States At- torney Peyton Gordon for an indict- ment charging contempt of the Sen- ate. Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, special counsel in the oil prosecutions, laid the evidence before the grand jury, and on March 31 an indictment in 10 counts was returned against Sinclair charging a violation of section 102, Revised Statutes of the United States, by refusing to an- swer questions as a witness before a Senate committee. The next step was filing of de- murrers and motions to quash the in- dictment by the Sinclair attorneys and the case was argued at lengtl before Justice Hoehling. The court found that the first, second, fourth, fifth, eighth and ninth counts of the indictment embraced questions perti- nent to the subject matter then under |inquiry by the Senate and that Con- gress had lawful authority, to require answers thereto: that the third, sixth and seventh counts did not embrace pertinent questions and that the tenth count did not aver an offense under the statute. .

At least one was ac- cused of having smiled engagingly at the two policewomen. The warrant on which the youths were arrested, however, was ob- tained under a law that classes mashing as an offense that is ac- companied by “profane and inde- cent language,” and all of the witnesses were obliged to swear they did not hear either Crosson or Grinder say a word. And in addition, Judge McMahan said he would not consider a smile or two “an obscene act. So the case was dismissed. “I cannot ask my young women to get into the cars of these mash- ers without some protection,” Mrs. Van Winkle said afterward. “We are allowed to carry our revolvers, but certainly it would not be right to shoot a man and possibly kill him just because he flirted.
