A plan for seitlement of the French debt to the United States, said to be agreeable to the French themselves, was submitted to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon yesterday by Ed- ward N. Hurley, member of the American Debt Funding Commission and formerly chairman of the Ship- ping Board. Mr. Hurlev has just re- turned from Paris after discussing the debt proposal with French offi- cials The plan, basicly, provides for pay- ment of the debt in 67 vears at the rate of $100,000,000 a year and inter- together with an agreement by government to reinvest half of | ments in French in- Other features of the »d terms were not disclosed by Huriey. who left Washington yesterday for his home in Chicago.

SURGEON WILL SUBMIT TO DEPORTATION ORDER Alleged to Have Written Threats in Furtherance of Love Suit in America. Py the Associated Press. NEW YORK., September 13.—Dr. Wil- liam McK. H. McCullough, London surgeon, who is said to be in love with Miss Fay Burk, 19-year-old daughter of Rollin G. Furbeck, a New York broker, will submit to the de- portation order of the immigration office and return to England today, his attorneys announced. The alleged reason for issuance of the order is that Dr. McCullough wrote threaten- ing letters. Dr. McCullough said a writ of habeas corpus he had obtained to block the order was withdrawn at his request. He gave as the cause of his return the demands of his medical practice. Hearing on the deportation case will be held Fri- day in the United States District Court. PLAN NATI(;NAL DRIVE. Better Business Bureau to Attack Frauds.

GROSS BATS TODAY More Than 30,000 Tickets Sold for FOR KANSAS TALK Sees Third Party Cause Hopeless in Address at Cheyenne, Wyo. By the Associated Press. ABOARD THE DAVIS SPECIAL EN ROUTE TO TOPEKA, Kans, Septem- ber 13.—John W. Davis, the Demo- cratic presidential candidate, made the eastward turn today in his tour of the West, having spoken at Chey- enne, Wyo., last night, and there men- tioned the third party movement as such for the first time. Heo was headed for Topeka, Kans.. where tonight he is to deliver the fourth fixed address in his swing through the territory west of the Mississippl River. In mentioning the third party move- ment at Chevenne Mr. Davis told his audience of several hundred persons that he knew no one who contem- plated gressive party winning possession in this election of the presidency and of a majority in the House and in the Senate. He submitted, he said, to those who wished to see progress and honesty in government that they have in this election no cause to vote any other than the Democratic ticket. Dixcusxes Powsibilities, “What is going to happen -in this election?” he asked “It is conceivable—I don't believe it probable, but it is conceivable—that | the Republican party may win, and it may come out in possession of the presidency, the House and the Senate, and those who are perfectly satisfied with the conclusion will doubtless - onceivable, and, I think it is probable, that the Democratic party will win, and will come out in posses- sion of the presidency and of a ma- jority in both houses of Congress. “But is there anybody who believes the third party—the Progressive par- ty—can win possession of the presi- dency, of a majority in the Senate and of a majority in the House? 1 know of no one who contemplates that con- tingency and I submit to those who wish to see progress in this country; to those who wish to see hon- esty in government; those who wish a restoration ment of justice and of courage, that they have in this election as reason- able men no cause to vote any ticket other than that of the Democratic party.” Ans Is Opponents, This declaration by Mr. Davis came at the conclusion of an address which he had touched on the need for National defense and for preparation for peace, had contrasted the records of the administration of government under Woodrow Wilson and the Re- publican administration, and had as- sailed the Republican administration on the oil and Veterans' Bureau scan- dals and presented his party's pro- gram for farm relief, Mr. Davis had an all-day ride ahead | today, with rear platform speeches scheduled for Grand Island, Hastings, | Fairbury and Marysville, in Nebraska, and Onaga, in Kansas. TALKS OF RADIO AID IN HOSPITAL WORK Le Roy Mark Asks Public to Patronize Benefit Concert Tomorrow Afternoon. The efficacy of radio as an ald in caring for hospital patients was de- scribed from the personal experiences of nurses and physicians by Le Roy Mark, chairman of the Washington hospital radio fund, in a speech broad- cast last night from WCAP. Mr. Mark made another plea te the radio fans and charitably inclined persons in Washington to support the con- cert of the combined Army, Navy and Marine bands at the American League Ball Park tomorrow afternoon, the entire proceeds of which will be used to purchase radio receiving apparatus for every hospital, charitable insti- tution and orphan asylum in the District. Benefits to Pntlents. “If the men and women of Wash- ington could visualize the benefits of radio sets for hospital patients, not one would want to have his name omitted from the list of those helping to buy headphone sets for every hos- pital bed in the city,” sald Mr. Mark. “Radio i8 invaluable to make the pa- tient forget himself and his troubles and to help us prevent hospital at- mosphere from becoming depressing to those struggling to regain health.” Mr. Mark pointed out that the su- perintendent of a ‘hospital wrote a letter to the radio fund committee citing the case of an incurable who for three years had been unable to sleep without a quieting medicine. A friend presented him with a crystal set, and now he sleeps every night without a sleeping potion, and the nurse takes the headphones from his cars after he is asleep. Concert Opens at 4 O'Clock. The concert will begin at 4 o'clock. It will be preceded by an invocation Annual Game for Re- lief Fund. The “annual battle betwen the police and firemen for base ball su- premacy will be staged at American League Park this afternoon, with President Coolidge, other high offi- cials and thousands of Washington fans present. From the time the President tosses out the first ball at 3 o'clock untit the last man is out, it will be a lively struggle, with the police striving to capture their third straight victory and the firemen making equal effort to break the winning streak of the bluecoats. ) More than 30,000 tickets have been sold, and the entire proceeds of the game will go into the fund for the relief of widows and orphans of de- ceased members of the two depart- ments. The committeo in charge of the game made a last appeal today to the citizens of Washington who have not bought tickets in advance to af tend the game anyhow and help thig cause. LEOPOLD AIDS MUSEUMS.

JOLIET, 111, September 13.—A vista of years, stretching endlessly ahead—nothing but walls, high walls, hard work and a dismal, bare ex- istence on food that grows as mo- notoous and tiresome as the fading hope of liberty. today encircles the despairing spirits of Nathan Leo- pold, jr., and Richard Loeb, co-con- spirators in the most twisted and atracious crime of the generation. Their aplomb géne, they staggered almost fainting from fright, into the state penitentiary here Thursday night after a fast ride from Chicago with deputy sheriffs. There Leopold tipped his hat to woman guests of Warden Whitman, and made an at- tempt to seem unconcerned. But it was a feeble attempt. Asked what he thought of his new home, Leopold said: *“I don’t think | much’ of it.” Thinks It Pretty Toush. Loeb remarked: t's pretty tough.” Richard and Nathan stumbled into | the prison corridor feebly. Convicts | peered through the bars at these supercilious youths of whom they had | read, and whom they have sworn in i their grapevine way to “tame.” | At the dispensory of prison cloth- Ing they were halted.

That's what is said by the men who handle horses for him and the others who are_in his employ. “Before his _highness leaves | America he will show that he is not given to falling off his horse,” says one of the retainers of the prince. “And what's more, his highness is | an "expert on horses. In the many years he has been buying horses of one kind or another I have never known him to be sold on a single horse. “He can size up a horse quicker | than the oldest horse trader. And lin choosing horses it is done with almost snap judgment by his Righ- ness. A case of love at first sight, as it were. His judgment is un- { erring. Often Takes Experts’ Advice. “Of course. he often defers to the opinfon of his experts on certain points, but in the main he relies on his own judgment.” The prince is the owner of one of the largest stables in the world. Near London, at Raneleagh, the polo field, he keeps firom 15 to 20 polo ponies. And the ponies never lack for exercise, for their royal owner visits the field three or four times a week and plays for a few hours of an_afternoon. On these visits he gives the once- over to all the ponies, as though they were humans dependent on him. At the Craven Lodge Hunt Club, at Melton-Mowbray, in Leicesershire, the prince maintains a big stable filled with the pick of English hunters. Upward of 20 of the finest are always n readiness. Owns Fine Chasers. Besides these the prince has several fine horses at his blg estate in the Duchy of Cornwall, where he maine tains a good-sized stable. In addi- tion he is the owner of several of England's best chasers. “The prince is a fearless rider, otherwise he would not be likely tc go in for steeplechasing,” said his follower. “The thought of danger, 1 believe, never enters his mind. He can take his place with the best of *em. It gives his family no little con- cern. “People from all over the country are always wanting to sell the prince a horse. But he is not easy to please. i A casual glance at many of those offered convinces the prince that they are lacking in ‘pep, as you Ameris cans say. They may be jumpers, but one trial often shows that they cat only reach the second rail of a five or six rail fence. Perhaps their own- ers consider them pretty good horses to be able to take the second rail, but such riding would be mere baby riding for his highness. Has No Color Prejudices. “Unlike so many horsemen or lovers of horses, his highness has no set aversion to horses because of their color. The question with him is, Has the horse go to him? I have seen the prince ride all sorts of horses, some that seemed almost un- manageable, but when it comes to managing a horse the best horse- men in the world must take their hats off to the prince. I never saw a horse he was afraid to ride. But MOTORISTS WARNED T0 KEEP TAGS CLEAR Obscuring of Markers in Any Way Is Contrary to Maryland Law. Request that District motorists be warned that it is a violation of the law in Maryland to have identifica- tion tags obscured by bumpers, spare tires and the like was made to the local Police Department in a letter received today from E. Austin Baugh man, commissioner of motor vehicles. “Repcrt made to this department,” Mr. Baughman writes, “indicate a rather large number of District of Columbi. automobiles operating in Maryland with their identification markers obscured through being im- properly placed with reference to the bumpers, tire racks, etc. “As this, under the Maryland law is a violation of a statute that carries a minimum penalty of $10, it is often necessary for the Maryland State Po- lice to carry Washingtonians before a magistrate when a little care in keeping the markers clean and unob- scured would have avoided such ac- tion. “I am calling this to your attention for your information and any cooper- ation that you can give in impressing the Washington car owners with this feature of the Maryland law will be appreciated.” . His Terrible Example. “Josh,” sald Farmer Wilkins to his son, “I wish, if you don't mind, you'd eat off by yourself instead of with the summer boarders.

Large doors were clang- ing. Guards were watching them. As they passed through one door they read the words, “It is never too late to mend.” The State and the Nation is going to wait a long time to know Whether it is or not for them. In the prison chapel the band was practicing. As the boys ap the strains of “What'll I Di their ears. And then solitary confinement for the night. Led in by guards they were parted at the doorway, probably for the last time. The boys whose partnership in a mad hunt' for ex- citement had led them to kill will never more be pals. They may see one another occasionally, and may be able to speak a word or two, but not often. They made a feeble agtempt to be cheerful as they bade one another good-bye. There was evident in their volces, however, a huskiness and a despair that have not shown before. On they were led, into cells that were small, flly lighted and musty smelling. Told to Be Up Early. “Be up at six,” they were Not a word from elther boy. They are in now. Hope is fading. Life is growing complicated and seri- ous. “Life” s a long time in a small inclosure with nothing to look for- ward to except monotony at its worst. Are their spirits broken, are they willing to pay? Is persomal desire above society’s law? Ten minutes in the State prison indicated an answer. A lifetime of contemplation may ex- plain fully. no scoffing, no told. WALES FINE JUDGE OF HORSES, BUYING MANY AFTER ONE GLANCE then fear is not a part of the prince’s makeup.” The prince, not unlike the late Col. Roosevelt, possesses an almost super- human faculty for remembering peo- ple and their names, and it is partly due to this that his army of em- ployves term him the “best boss in the world.” From his ranch in Canada to his London residence those who work for him are devoted to his highness. From Nikito, his Japanese ranch cook, to Thomas Smith, his valet, traveling with him, Edward P, is an ideal employer. His valet has been valeting for the prince almost since the day he donned knickerbockers. And then there's Perkins, also trav- eling with the prince, called in Eng- lish terms the brusher, but in reality assistant valet. Have Charge of Wardrobe. These two men have charge of the prince’'s extensive wardrobe, and it keeps them busy mending and press- ing and brushing. But they don't mind. They would “work _their bloomin' 'eads off” for his highness. “And who wouldn't,” they ask? Some idea of the popularity of the prince with his employes may be gained from the fact that there is always a long waiting list of men ready to step into any job that may be vacant in the royal household. “I once worked for Lord —." said one, “and you know he would never as much as notice me. 1 might have been a tree or a plece of armor. “With the prince, it is different. By Jove, there isn't a man who works for him ‘that he doesn’t know by name. ‘How are you? he asks, and he means it. ‘Watehes All He Owns. “While he has so many people to look after his vast interests and re- port to him in every detail, it he wishes it, the prince himself does not depend on this. He takes a keen in- terest in everything he owns and there is nothing slip-shod in the way he looks after his property, whatever it may be. He is an exacting em- ployer, but he is never mean about wages. In fact, his highness is one of the most generous souls and one of the best friends a man could have. “If any one in his employ falls ill the prince wants to know about it. “Once an old employe had been suf- fering from a long iliness. The prince saw him limping badly. And you'd think the prince was his father, the way he went up to him, and said sternly: ‘See here, old man, what are you doing here? and he sent him back home. ‘And the prince aften surprises those who are employed by him by buying up a lot of tickets for some entertalnment or sporting affair and sending them around. “Come Christmas, every bloomin" person who works for the prince is remembered. Usually it is a money gift, and not a stingy one either. It is inclosed in a little envelope with his highness' personal card. “He's not a bit of a snob. should see him at one of the ser- geant's dances at Aldershot.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, September 13.—The thoritative statement issued to German press last evening on the quustion of Germany's war guilt and her eptry into the League of Nations has caused a considerable comment in the columns of the Berlin press, and there is talk of a near cabinet crisis. Last night's German statement de- clared emphatically that Germany could not enter the League of Nations until the war-guilt question was solved. It set forth that the ques- tion of Germany's admittance to the league was not raised by any for- eign statesman during the London conference, despite numerous oppor- tunities, and it declared that before Germany's empty chair in the league was occupied the covenant must be altered more favorably toward Ger- many and she must not be required to ask for an elective seat but be allocated a e permanent one. The statement added these conditions would be the basis of a coming cabinet discussion of the subject. au- the Stresemann Speaks. _'l'hL1 statement emanated from For- eign Minister Stresemann. The news- paper supporting the parties of the Right joyfully welcome Dr. Strese- mann’s declaration that the question of responsibility for the war must be settled before Germany can enter the league, but the democratic and socialist journals reject the proposal. The Socialist Vorwaerts, heaging its editorial “The Impending Fall of Ministers,” considers Dr. Stresemann’s remarks as denoting the beginning of a government crisis. If an official repudiation of Germany's war guilt is not set to the allies very soon Dr. Stresemann and other members of the cabinet will resign, it declares, while in the contrary case Chancellor Marx will fall and the Reichstag will subsequently be dissolved. No developments are possible until next week when Chancellor Marx re- turns to Berlin and the cabinet de- cides upon the date for notifying the allies of Germany's repudiation of her war guilt, the newspaper adds, THE WEATHER District of Columbia and Maryland— Partly cloudy tonight, slightly cooler; tomorrow; moderate west and north- west winds.

RENT AGT TOGET EARLY DECISION Court of Appeals Sets Hear- ing on Appeal for October 6. The District Court of Appeals today recognized the importance of an early determination of the present status of the Ball rent act. It accordingly granted a motion of Attornev Louis Ottenberg to advance the hearing of the appeal of Mrs. Frances F. Peck from a decision of the Municipal Court, in which it was held that the rent law is stii operative. The case will be called October 6, when the court convenes for the Fall term. 1t will be the second case heard on the docket. In regular course the hearing would not have been reached until January or February, but Attorney Ottenberg asked the court to advance the hear- ing because of the chaotic condition existing in the rent situation. Attor- ney J. L. Krupsaw for the tenant in the case joined in the request for a speedy hearing. The sole question fnvolved in the appeal is the passing of the housing emergency, which formed the basis of the Ball rent legislation. Attor- ney Ottenberg pointed out the state- ment of the United States Supreme Court in the Chastleton case in which it said that if it were a question of the present time, in view of the judi- clal knowledge of the court, the court would be compelled to hold that the emergency had passed and that the law had become inoperative. Jus. tice Stafford of the District Supreme Court, following the Chastelton deci- sion, enjoined the Rent Commission from operating in a number of cases. The judges of the Municipal Court were divided in their opinion, some holding the law still in existence and others declaring it inoperative. A decision from the Court of Ap- peals can be expected early in No- vember, and an opportunity afforded of taking the case to the United States Supreme Court before the Bail act extension expires, May 22, 1925.
