HUNGARY LIFTN FROM WAR'S CRUSH American Commissioner for League Reports Progress in | Nation’s Restoration. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, August 30.—Jeremiah Smith of Boston was the central flg- ure at today’s meeting of the council of the League of Natlons. He pre- sented an optimistic report on the program of the financial reconstruc- tion of Hungary. where he is the league’s commissioner, and added an- other hopeful note to the general movement of European financial and economic rehabilitation. Mr. Smith said that, owing to the measures adopted, stabilization of Hungary's currency is now an ac- complished fact and that confidence in the stability of the Hungarlan crown has been created. The country's revenues, he said, and the yield of indirect taxes, which constitutes two- thirds of the total receipts, had con- siderably exceeded the estimates. Although the Hungarian crown had increased in value, the commissioner declared retail prices had not fallen. Indications existed, however, that these prices could not be maintained at the present level, but the situation would be remedied by the operation of natural and economic laws. Government Gives Support. The government of Hungary had collaborated energetically in-the plan of rehabilitation, Mr. Smith said. The next step, he explained, is the limita- tion of the government's expenditures to figures established by the recon- struction budget and the negotiations of commercial treaties with Hungary's neighbors. Mr. Smith declared he had confi- dence these things would be accom- plished and there would be no ob- stacle to the successful conclusion of the reconstruction plan and the bal- ancing of the budget within the period fixed. Baron Koranyi, Hungarian minister of finance. praised Commissioner Smith's service to his country. The council adopted a resolution thanking the American for his work and ex- ng its eminent satisfaction with the progress achieved in the recon- struction of Hungary Reports on Arms Control. Dr. Edouard Benes, president of the council, .submitted the report of the league’s permanent disarmament com- mission, which includes the text of the draft treaty for the control of international traflic in arms. Amer- ican diplomatic representatives aided in framing this draft. President Benes recommended that this report. together with replies from various governments on the proposed pact of mutual assistance, be forwarded to the assembly without any special action, because the assembly would want to examine thoroughly these matters. The council adopted the president's recommendation and the next step in the entire discussion of disarmament and security will be taken when Premiers M Great Britain and the scene. They are expected to ad- dress next week's assembly. Reject Assistance Pact. An overwhelming majority of countries have rejected the proposed pact of assistance, but Poland and Czechoslovakia, notably, have ral- lied to the side of France in accept- ing its main provisions. Congiderable attention is being de- vated to the recommendation in the Czechoslovakian reply for an exten- Si04 ol compulsory arbitration as the et means of obtaining security, and hence the reduction of armaments. 1L is Lelieved Premier MacDonald will come (0 Geneva to urge a stronge policy of arbitration as the mos praclicable means of preventing war. Uruguay's views on the pact of as- have been received, but not France enter on adopted a consiliatory attitude toward the Nosul frontier dispute_between Turkey and Eng- land. The Lausanne treaty provided that the council should settle this controversy im the event direct ne- gotiations failed, which is the case. A telegram was forwarded to Ismet Pasha, Turkish premier and foreign minister, informing him that the council probably would be meeting until the end of September and that it was hoped he could arrange to at- tend as soon as possible. Before adjourning until some time next week, the council registered an almost unanimous vote in support of the project of Senator Ciraolo, presi- dent of the Italian Red Cross, for mutual assistance in the relief of peoples overtaken by disasters similar to the recent Japanese earthquake. ssembly will be asked to adopt rete plans to put the project in operation. Many Americans attended today’s session RAIL MEN MUZZLED. Will Not Be Allowed to Publish Views on Dawes Plan. By the Asociated Press BERLIN, August 30.—German rail- road officials will not be allowed pub- licly to vent their private opinions regarding the practicability of the Dawes report in connection with the mortgaging of the Reich’s railroads, an order to this effect having been issued by Herr Oeser, minister of transportation. Only the general management of the railroads will have all the inside views of the covenant, and all the facts concerning the application of the Dawes report, Herr Oeser states, and therefore the subordinates will not be able to pass judgment intel- ligently. Chinese Army Fights Flies. PEKING, July 22.—Gen. Feng Yu- hsiang, the Christian general, has started a crusade against flies in his camp at Nanyuan. Each soldier is required to bring in a daily “bag” of flies for which he is promised a certain number of coppers. To facili- tate the check the army has been divided into “swatting” units. Spe- cial rewards are offered for excep- tional results. acDonald and Herriot of | Coolidge Against Naming of Envoy To Dublin by U. S. Appointment of an American minister to the Irish Free State following the appointment of an Irish envoy to Washington is re- garded as unlikely for some time at least, as in the opinion of both President Coolidge and State De- partment officials this step could not be taken without appropriate legislation. It is pointed out that accrediting a representative to Dublin would call for the establishment of a legation, which could only be done by congressional action, involving, as it would, an appropriation. Suggestions, however, have been made that the difficulty might be obviated by appointing a repre- sentative with the rank of minister to reside in Dublin, but as a member and under the control of the American embassy in London. This plan would not establish a new mission abroad and would therefore not require congressional sanction. DIPLOMATS CHEERS GET FIST SHAKES Supernatidnalists in Reichs- tag Threaten Visitors as Dawes Plan Passes. BY A. R. DECKER. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Dally News. BERLIN, August 30.—When in their sympathy with Germany, Amer- icans and others in the diplomatic boxes of the Relchstag chamber cheered the vote of acceptance of the Dawes plan on Friday, the German Super-Nationalists and Communists turned and shook their fists at the diplomats. However, this does not express the general sentiment here. ‘There is no doubt that Germany ap- proves ratification of the London agreement and a two-thirds majority is even les than the plan would have received had a referendum been held. There is no chance of passive resis- tance if the French do not try again to annex German territory. On Friday, as soon as the result of the voting was known, the govern- ment wired the German Ambassador in London to sign the agreement to- day. Ludendorfl Votes Against. Gen. Ludendorff, Herr Hergt, Count von Westarp, Herr Geisler and Herr Ohler voted against the laws. But Admiral Von Tirpitz, President Wall- raff of the Reichstag and Prince Bis- marck voted for them. The People’s Party, the Catholic Center Party, the Bavarian People's Party, the Economic Union Party, the Democrats and the Social Democrats voted solidly for the plan. Fort eight Nationalists voted for it and against it, thus making a two-thirds majority, the vote being 314 to 217. The German Nationalists, however, did not give their votes for nothing. They are to receive places in the cabinet, where they can supervise the fulfilment of laws they obtained, in- cluding a protective grain tariff for the benefit of the farmers. Chancellor Marx already has stated that he would take steps to have acknowl- edgement of German war guilt effaced from the treaties. Thus the world would have to look to other nations for the war responsibility, as Ger- many formally and officially retracts it in the statement to the reichstag. The chancellor said: Deny War Guilt. “The war guilt was falsely ac- knowledged under pressure and does rot agreee with the historical faets.” Gen. Ludendorff is openly dis- pleased at acceptance of the Dawes plan. He said to Admiral Bruenin; haus, a delegate of the People Party: “Ten vears after Tannenberg you have alded the Jews to their Tannenberg.” The admiral shall decide.” The supernationalists say: “Ger- many has become a nation of inter- ests and slaves.” But the middle parties are pleased. Voerwaerts says: “With Dawes to Damascus” And most of Germany is breathing easier now that the Dawes plan has been accepted.

Shaver, wife of the chairman of the Demo- cratic national committee, condemns ifist movement and declares st way to prepare for peace is to show the world that we are ready for any emergency.” At one point in her lengthy letter, ich was addressed today. to the Fairmont West Virginian, Mrs. Shaver refers to Charles W.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 30—Two rum runners met death off Atlantic High- lands, N. J., before daybreak today. While the revenue agents were handcuffing three men captured in one boat another speedboat was heard nearby and the rum chaser gave chase. “Lay to or we'll shoot to kill,”" the skipper of the revenue cutter mega- phoned. The fleeing rum runner only put on speed and her crew began tossing her cargo into the sea. Then, swinging a huge searchlight upon the rum runner, the Federal agents turned their guns Into action. One man was seen to slump into the cockpit of the smugglers' craft. Two others disappeared overboard. They found Earl Bennett of,Atlantic Highlands in the bottom of the boat with a bullet in his chest and another in_his hip. He would not disclose the names of his companions. “What does it matter; they're overboard and dead. They won't tell,” he said. One hundred cases of whisky were aboard. Boat, cargo and prisoners, with those taken in the first encoun- ter, were towed to New York. WILD TURKEYS DANCE. From the Boston Post. A flock of wild turkeys encounter- ing a snake behave in the most extra- ordinary manner. At the sight of the snake the birds will begin to dance slowly around it. As the turkeys dance they lower their wings, raise and spread their tails and utter a continuous queru- lous call. Single birds will some- times break from the revolving circle to make frantic dashes at the snake. For an hour or more the dervish- like performance will continue, and if the snake is not too formidable the flock will probably kill it. Other- wise they will leave it dazed and deatened by their conduct and nolse. 4 KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES—Pa Wouldn’t Own Up. DONT ARGUE M ME! GO JHAVE, AT ONCE - YOu LOOK Like i NEVER.

Submarine Still Put Out of Business by Swamp Raiding Party Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va. August 30 PRESSURE BROUGHT TO AVERT WAR AS CHINESE MOBILIZE (Continued from First Page.) Headed by Officer J. C. Dillard, six prohMition agents made a raid in New Kent County and located a 300-gallon still of the submarine type. The office searched for a long time before they got to a small island, away back in the Chicka- hominy Swamp. on which the moonshiners had built the still They had tents, cots, cooking utensils, fermenters, jars and complete apparatus for making. The officers wad~d through the marsh with the wa'er up to their walists. Reaching the place they discovered that the operators had been able to make the island by using flat-bottomed boats, carrying in supplies and taking out the liguor by that means, The officers destroyed the still and all the equipment, placing it in a pile and setting it on fire. Sl i SCIENCE CONQUERS FOG. u liquor With Electrified Sand, Changes Vapor Into Refreshing Rain. From the San Francisco Chronicle. As our round-the-world fiyers ap- proach their own country the au- thorities are becoming concerned to find a place where they can most safely alight. Coming as they will from the north, the natural landing place is somewhere on the coast of New England, which is alleged to be normally covered with a fog which no human eye can penetrate. The brave fiyers must not be allowed to risk their necks in landing on their native soil, and it would be incon- venient to land on the top of some- body’s house. And there is much concern. Happily, man is steadily increasing his control over nature, and it is stated that by spraying the very densest fog h electrified sand it can be changed into a delightful and re- freshing rain which will make the homecoming of our wanderers pleas- ant and comfortable. Experiments have been going on for a long time and have been so satisfactory that the first public demonstration is to be at the home A sand plane is being made and the sand is being prepared. There seems to be no doubt that the fog will be there, and officials will be waiting with um- brellas for the flyers. — Stone Face Needs Shave. From the Baltimore Sun.

The big stone face, a historic feature of the mountains, was said to have resembled the head of the great Indian ehief who ruled this valley for many years. As a result of its apparent coming to life and needing a shave, an or- ganization is being formed to provide soap lather and razor and an effort will be made to shave it — = The number of woolen mills in the United States exceeds 1,000.

TGN, BDUT 1 FEAR YoU ARE GETTWG THE TEASLIES - YOUR PacE 13 ALL RED N SPOTS! SLAYER OF FIVE PRESENTS PUZZLE Woman, Grief Stricken at Each Death, Soon Seeks New Victim. Special Dispatch to The Star. SAN MARCOS, Tex., When allenists in ' Chicago get through with “Babe” Leopold and “Dickie” Loeb, Mrs. William. Haup- trief offers another interesting case. She s 26, pretty, brunette, buxom, vi- vaclous and the self-confessed poison- er of five victims—would-be poisoner of a sixth. Her whole kill and near- kill is composed of husbands and stepchildren. District Attorney Fred Blundell says he means to ask for the death penalty when the young woman goes on trial in October, and unless it turns out she {s irresponsible, judge and jury may find it awkward to de- cline his invitation to enforce the law. The strangest part of Mrs. Haup- trief's case, as it develops now, is that Willlam Hauptrief was so moved by her grief- at the funeral of her first husband, Count Schroeder, that he fell in love with her then and there. It was a case of July and early October, she being in full ma- tronly bloom and he a 49-year-old widower, father of 11 children. Friendly With Family. Hauptrief had known and been friendly with the Schroeders, and as the young widow sobbed and wept over the coffin, he felt tremendously sorry for her. 'He wanted to comfort her in her afiction and give her the solace of a home and fireside. There was a brief courtship, a bethrothal, and in decorous time a marriage. They went to live on Hauptrief's farm in the qualntly named hamiet of Goforth, a short distance from here. There they were in the midst of kinsfolk and lifelong acquaint- ances. Hauptrief's aged mother lives at Uhland, four or five miles from Goforth. Mrs. Hauptrief's fam- ily, the Schultzes, live about as far away at Niederwald, where they have a store. Her brother, Richard Schultz, has been clerking in it since he came out of the infantry after the World War. Three more placidly pastoral com- munities than theso three it would be hard to find anywhere. ‘'he Deople are farmers, and the farms are pro- ductive. All are well stocked with fat cattle, sleek horss and plump poultry. The community center of each town is a little white churcn and a schoolhouse. August 30.— Good Housekeeper. A more placidly comfortable home than Hauptrief's it would be hard to find in all Goforth, or in all Goforth- Neiderwald-Uhland, for that matter. The young remarried widow who be- came its second mistress was an im- peccable housekeeper, energetic, neat and orderly. The house Is silent and empty now. The four children who played and prattied and raised jovous laughter there are dead. The father who lis- tened to them is away recovering from arsenic poisoning. The step- mother who fed them and dressed and combed and brushed them 1s in the county jail at San Marcos. But all through the house are the prosaio touches of the secure, settled life of a happy family. On a mantel rests a big Bible. On a wall hangs a picture of Hauptrief and his first wife. On a table there are school books. In a corner lles a rag doll, dear to Anna, the last of the children to die. There are pioc- tures of famous Americans, with sim- ple flag decorations draped around them. There are untouched beds, all made up precisely with white spreads. There are big shade trees in the tront and back yards. There is a cool breeze that wafts through all day long. And there is a clock in the Kitchen—a timeplece of doleful tick. Neighbor Is Caretaker. The only sound to break the sllence of the house now is made by that clock. It ticks on and on and on, the beat of it getting louder and louder, more and more oppressive, till a yowl brings sudden relief. The yowl is traced to Spot. Spot is the Hauptrier dog, a bull terrier. Spot has lost his master, his mistress and the children who were his beloved tyrants. He maintains a lonely vigil there, his sole visitor being Eé‘l Ma;sn:;lfie: ghboring negro renter, who ::é‘:ha Aay to feed him, tend the stock and keep that insistently un- necessary clock wound. Spot can’t tell time by it, and it wouldn't help ny if he could. M;‘: vakes an uncomfortably haunt- ing memory to carry away with one, that spotless, airy kitchen and that speckless, empty house. After having seen it, one finds it all the harder to believe one is not dreaming and that an ugly, ruthless, senseless death drama had that homely stage for its Psetting. Wililam Hauptrief, slowly recover- ing strength on his mother's farm in Uhland, finds it almost too hard to believe, Still brooding and sorrowing over the loss of his children, who died mysteriously, one by one in the course of a six-month, he dislikes to discuss the tragedy. Long Trusted Wife. “For a long time I couldn't believe it was my wife,” he says, sitting on his mother's shady porch. “How could I belleve when she nursed them so tenderly? She was so interested in their welfare and she was so sad as each one died. It is all hard to under- stand. But I have to believe it now. There is the confession. Mother and 1 are taking care of Lenora, my year- old daughter. We can't let her stay in the jail with her mother. My wife lived the normal life of a farmer's wife. She wag contented. I never saw anything unusual to arouse any suspicion. When little Anna died last November and chemical analysis showed she died of arsenic poisoning, 1 even suspected another relative and spent $500 on an investigation in which nothing developed.” The same rare capacity for mortu- ary grief which won Mrs. Hauptrief her second husband as she wept into the coffin of her first, was her saving grace at the four funerals which fol- lowed her induction into her new home. Die Four Days Apart. Little Lydia Hauptrief, 12 years old, was the first of the children to go. She died April 7, 1923. Barely had the stepmother succeeded in get- ting her sorrowing eyes dry then Walter, 14 years old, died, April 11 In May came the death of the young- est child, Herbert, eight years old. The last of them, Anna, ten years old, died November 11, 1923. Dr. E. B. Taylor of Kyle, Tex., was the family physician. He attended all four children and also their father when the latter's abortive turn came. “It struck me,” Dr. Taylor says, “that Mrs. Hauptrief was rather in- different when 1 called to treat the sick children. Or maybe that onmly that strikes me now, as I look back. Certainly she did not arouse my sus- Bramck Office DISTRICT NATIONAL BANK Coum. Ave. and K Street l'hlmsm “Park Your st the Door” picions—not at first. It did seem queer, though, that when I would have a child on the way to recovery something would happen to it again. After Anna was polsoned she was re- moved to her grandmother’s, where she fully recovered. But when she came back to her mother's home it Wwas not long before she was seriously 111 again. ‘Then we noticed that neither Mrs. Hauptrief nor her year-old child were ever ill. We examined the stomach of Anna, the last child to die, and knew she had been poisoned, We could think of no other suspect than Mrs. Hauptrief and told the father about our fears. He recelved the news calmly. However, he suspected another person. If he had not been poisoned himself and we had not made {immediate analysis of his stomach it is possible it would never have been learned who poisoned his children.” Sought Deed to Farm. The motive? We come now to the buxom brunette’s signed confession. That frank statement has little to say about the taking-off of the four children, but deals at some length With the attempt on their father's ife. She sald that she had been urging Hauptrief to make a will leaving her his farm, which contains 180 acres and is worth about $12,000. With some hesitancy he agreed to this pro- posal, but later changed his mind, de- ciding to leave half the property to her and their baby daughter, and the other half to the survivors of his eleven children by his first marriage. While he was still in the mood to leave her everything, she says, they called a justice of the peace, L. O. Miller, to thelr home to draw up the will. But Miller found Hauptrief so il he declined to prepare the Instru- ment for signature. The illness came from drinking coffee, which the wife now admits she poisoned. As soon as Hauptrief had strength enough for the journey he was re-- moved to San Marcos Hospital. Be- fore they started, Mrs. Hauptrief says, she again sent for Miller to make the will. She also gave her husband a drink of water. Find Arsenic in Water. On the way fn to the county seat the farmer became 8o ill that his life was despaired of. The water his wife had given him just befors he left home was analyzed and traces of arsenic found. Shortly afterward, July 21, Mrs Hauptriet was arrested on the double charge of poisoning her step-daugh- ter Anna, the last child who died, and attempting to poison her husband. By that time rumors regarding her at- tempts to obtain a will favoring her had gained general circulation. District Attorney Blundell and Sheriff Allen of Hays County drove out to Goforth. Under the farmhouse they found a can of arsenic, while in- side the dwelling they discovered a Jnlf containing a liquid solution of the poison. When this discovery was made Mrs. Hauptrief was already in Jail. and they resorted to dramatic il,';.""n to obtain a confession from “We brought the can and jar to the courthouse,” Attorney Blundell ex- plained later, “and placed both on a table. Not wanting to be accused of any coercion and third-degree meth- ods, or to employ any, we requested several persons to be witnesses and then sent for M Hauptrief. The first thing she saw when she came in was the can and jar of poison. She appeared shocked, but recovered. 1 told her where I had found the re- rop!ar]ps and warned her that any- thing she might say would be used against her. Then when I suggested that she tell everything she agreed| willingly.” Confemses Killing Husband. What that everything would in- clude they did not guess till she be- gan her confession with a question: “Shall I tell about the poisoning of my first husband " % They stared at her incredulously. Till then no one had dreamed Count Schroeder, whose widow's bitter grief had brought her a second husband, had not died a natural death. After £he had made and signed her confession bail was refused and she was sent back to jail charged with the deaths of the four children and the attempted murder of Hauptrief. Her brother, Richard Schultz, was arrested and is at large on $10,000 bond. The former doughboy is charged with having brought his sis- ter the arsenic from the store in Neiderwald. Interviewed in her cell, Mrs. Haup- trief has little to say. “I don’t know why I did it," she vouchsafed. “They wouldn't mind me, but I suppose they were average children. Everything in the confes- sion is true, but I don’t want to talk about it now.. Yes, my husband was good to me.” Husband Unconvinced. Deputy Sheriff Magruder says she does not care to read, either papers or books or magazines, but eats with appetite and sleeps naturally. She has shown grief only once. When the baby Lenora was removed from her she broke down and sobbed. Perhaps she only weeps freely under the stimulus of a coffin. She was born near here, and old friends say that as a schoolgirl she was intelligent and pretty. Now she is a plump brunette and a typical farmer's wife, whose entire life has been spent in the country. “I don’t want to see any preachers or doctors,” she tells her guardians laconically. Hauptrief asserts she was kind and loving to him and the little brood she slew so remorselessly. If she had an object in poisoning them and trying to poison him, he asks, why was she energetic in trying to save them after they were poisoned and so grief- stricken at their funerals? If in- sane, would a woman not given to acting call for a doctor, worry over each victim, nurse them tenderly and show agonized sorrow over their deaths? If sane, would a woman whose every act toward the children was kindness want to poison them? She Miw.ndmtood. From the Stockholm Kasper.

The commission has decided to prepare a plan of reorganization with the purpose of effecting economlies sufficient to cover the expenses re- quired by the new organizations to be set up under the Dawes plan so that no additional financfal burden in connection with foreign officials will be laid upon Germany. The organization committee, ap- pointed by the reparation commission under the Dawes reparation plan, and including Sir Robert Kindersley of Great Britain and Dr. Hjalmar Schacht of Berlin, were advised that Mr. McGarrah was one of the three New York bankers best qualified to deal with exchange and foreign bills. The other two were not named. Mr. McGarrah will nominate the American member ‘of the transfer committee which will determine the movement abroad of funds from Ger- many for the payment of reparation.

Mr. Young will leave for Berlin about the middle of next week. Mr. Young has made an extraordi- narily deep impression upon the mem- bers of the reparation commission. His advice is regarded by Leon Barthou, president of the commission, and the other members as essential to the smooth beginning of the Dawes plan, Arbitral Boards Provided. Sixteen arbitral boards are pro- vided for by the Dawes plan. and un- der the London agreement American membership upon thres of these is mandatory. None of these boards has as yet been appointed. The most im- portant of'them is considered to be that provided by the London accord for deciding voluntary default on the part of Germany. The other two upon which the United States will have membership will be occupied with de- liveries in kind and appeals from de- cisions of the transfer committee. The reparation commission has chosen G. Leverve of France to be the railway commissioner under the Dawes plan, whose ultimate function, should there be a default in payment, would be that of receiver of the Ger- man railways for the allies.
