THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO TUESDAY, FEBRUARY -17,+1925. * MADE FINNISH TREATY RATIFIED SCOFFERS AT COOLIDGE “HORSE” NOW WANT ELECTRIC STEEDS Drop Sarcasm on Learning Rockefeller, Schwab FRANCFALL DELAYS DEBT NEGOTIATIONS Support of Funding Arrange- ment Unlikely Until Internal I Order Is Restored. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Desires on the part of M. Emile Daeschner, the new French Ambassa- dor at Washington, to approach a debt settlement th the United Btates complicated by the new *in Paris. With the franc once again hovering around 5 American cents in value—round- 1y, one-quarter of its par worth—the French government is cgnfronted with domestic economic conditions wWhich must take indefinite prece- dence over matters like foreign debts. Until these conditions are normal- ized, or semi-normalized, no premier of France could face either his Par- llament or French public opinion with any hope of support for a fund- ing arrangement with the United States. It is a case of “charity-be- ginning at home. The French insist they must put Rheir own house in order before they tackle less urgent matters. They class the $4,000,000,000 owing to the American Treasury as far less urgent than the restoration of the franc to Eomething like its normal value. In- deed, until the French monetary sys- tem is bolstered up, it is contended that no discussion of debt funding has any practical merit. It will re- main purely acaden Tax reforms ;:ml economy programs will have to e put through before debts can be kackled. Sympathy for Plight. There is understanding for this Flew of nce’s plight on the part f Washington officials. The Coolidge dministration t never contem- plated “pushing” France. In no “con- Yersations” or ‘“negotiations” which M. Jusserand had with the Debt-Fund- ing Commission was he ever given to understand that the United States in- tends bringing the pressure of a hard- ened bill collector to bear upon the ris government. About as far as We have ever gone was indicated by esident Coolidge's observation to M. Daeschner at the White House at Rhe end of January.' The United States wants and expects France to begin %o give studlous attention to her “ma- terial debts” now that, in American opinion, “debts of gratitude” have been written from the slate, paid in full. That the French authorities are Eiving serious attention to the Amerl- can and the British debts is unques- tlonable. But cvents now transpiring on the Bourse in Paris with regard o the franc may be expected to re- sult in a fresh and indefinite post- ponement of any ‘“brasstacks” deal- ings over the debts. The spirit on the Qual d'Orsay may be willing, but the #conomic flesh is weak. Pays Considerable Interest. It is practically unknown to the American public, though, of course, not unknown to the Treasury, that ance is paying the United States & very considerable interest charge at the present moment. Only a few days 880 she paid us $10,000,000 odd, as a half-yearly installment. This represents one-half of the § per cent interest the French owe us on the item of $407,341,- 345 due from them for the war supplies +-railroad materials, etc.—which' the United States left in France after the war. France has kept up regularly the semi-annual inter payments on this great purchase transaction. The American and British debts are classed as “political debts” in France, @s was recently revealed on the oc- casfon of Finance Minister Clemen- | tel's report. The French distinguished | these from so-called ‘“commercidl debts” owed abroad. The United States figures on the list of French “commercial debts” to the extent,of more than $200,000,000. The bulk of these obligations (as is also not gen- erally understood) was incurred two and three vears after the armistice. We floated an 8 per cent loan to France in 1920 aggregating $84,175,- 000, and a 7% per cent loan in 1921, totaling $75,130,200. The so-called Lyons-Bordeaux-Marseilles 1919-1934 loan accounts for another post-armistice advance of $40,500,000 to France. Other non-political “external debts” owing by France include: Bank of England, £55,000,000; for British war stocks i1n France, £65,000,000; Nether- lands, 000,000 florin 19,4 gold pe 000,000 gold pesos; C: Egypt. £2,000,000.

OGOMPANY, and Other Notables Take Exercise That Way—$700 Cost Stumps Some. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. President Coolidge's electric horse— his statie steed, magnetic mare, or call it what you will—bids fair to revo- lutionize Washington official life. The scoffers are not scoffing any more now that they have heard that John D. Rockefeller, jr.; Charles M. Schwab and other great captains of industry are daily riders of a neutrodyne nag. There are a whole lot of Senators and Representatives who are begin- ning to realize at last that thelr livers need a bit of jolting, and instead of laughing at the Chief Executive they are beginning to wonder how they, too, may stir themselves by exercise into an activity that will appeal to the peo- Dle of the United States. Rockefeller and Schwab and some of the other muitimillionaires are a bit peeved that the President has a better horse than any one of them. The President's horse can do four dif- ferent gaits—all the way from a walk to a gallop—whereas the older models possessed by the plutocrats are capa- ble of only one poor pace. Rockefeller Has Camgl. The fact that Mr. Rockefeller also rides an electric camel, which has a fine rolling, one might almost say an Orfental dancing motion, is no surprise in view of his well known interest in the prohibition movement. If more of the wealthy class would mount the dry ship of the desert, the Volstead forces say thelr task would be vastly easier than it is. Perhaps it is a natural thing that following the publicity given to the Tresident's doclle Dobbin inquiries should arrive from all parts of the country asking where a similar steed might be obtained. Various athletic clubs and club members are among the most anxious of the inquirers. The thing that has stopped most of the Senators and Representatives short in their quests for a horse is oft the final installment of 25,000,000 yen ($12,500,000) owing to Japan on an original credit of 50,000,000 yen ($25,000,000). The French “political debt” to the United States, which President Cool- idge prefers to call a “material debt, amounts, without interest, to $2,997, $00. The British “political debt, hout interest, amounts to £445, 218,386 sterling. (Copyright, 1925.) INDIAN WOMAN PLEADS FOR $40,000 PROPERTY Here to Demand Estate From ‘Which She Says She Was Ousted 25 Years Ago. Claiming that she and her family have been ousted from their land and an estate worth $40,000 with- held from them for a quarter of a century, Mary Louzon of Mehnomen, Minn, a Chippewa Indian, wWho has spent the last 25 of her 72 years fighting for her rights, Is in Wash- inton today, determined to carry her fight for the estate to the highest officlal sources in_the Capital. She has seen Charles H. Burke, commis- sioner of- Indian affairs, but Mr. Burke tells her, she said, that the matter is one that rests with the local authorities on the Chippewa reservation in “Minnesota. * Mrs. Louzon, a daughter of a full- blood Chippewa woman who died in 1922," claims she has been deprived of her mother’s estate, worth $40,000; her own land, a 160-acre tract in Minnesota, and that she has spent all her money in the fight to protect her Interests. The other Indians of the Chippewa tribe, she sald, have conspired to keep ‘her from ocontrol of her mother's estate and her own land. Appeals have been made to mem- bers of Congress from Minnesota, Mrs. Louzon sald, but these pleas have. been fruitless, pending an in- terest in the case by the proper In- dian office authorities. Mrs. Louzon Is penniless today, she said, as a re- sult of her efforts over the last quarter century, but intends to carry her fight to the President of the United States for redress. 132,014 ACRES URGED FOR NATIONAL FORESTS Reservation Commission Proposes Acquisition in East at Cost Around $700,000. Government purchase of 132,014 acres in 10 Eastern States for additions to na- tional forests, at an average price of not more than $5.24 an acre, was recom- mended today by the national forest reservation committee. The commission includes the Secretaries of War, In- terior and Agriculture, Senators Over- man of North Carolina and Keyes of New Hampshire and Representatives Lee of Georgia and Hawley of Oregon. Appropriation of $3,000,000 for pur- chase of further additions to national forests was recommended by the com- mission. National forests In Eastern States, including the areas recommended today, comprise 2,580,604 acres, a statement by the commission said. Land recommended for purchase in- cludes 39,624 acres in Georgla, 23,320 acres in Pennsylvania, 21,611 in New Hampshire, 10,578 in Virginia, 13,033 in North Carolina, 2,500 In West Vir- ginia, 11,559 in Tennessee, 3,046 In South Carolina, 1,645 in Alabama and 5,098 in Arkansas. - DR. BURTON STRICKEN BY NEW COMPLICATION Physicians Agree Condition Critical, But Hope for Recov-’ ery Is Not Abandoned. By the Associated Presa. ANN ARBOR, Mich., February 17.— The bulletin which physiclans at- tending Dr. Marion L. Burton, presi- dept of the University of Michigan, said would be glven out at 10 o'clock this morning was not forthcoming, the physiclans remaining in attend- ance at the bedside of Dr. Burton, iil since last October. Some time later today, it was sald, a bulletin would be Issued, after the physiclans have determined the na- ture of the new complication. It was Indicated last night that either pneumonia or pleurisy is developing in the right Inng, and It was rec- ognized at the Burton houschold that another crisis had come in the long fight of the university president to regain his health, Physicians agree that the situa- tion is critical, but neither they nor Mrs. Burton have abandoned hope, because of the remarkable recupera- tive powers the patient has demon- strated. Is , Plans Two Court Terms at Denton. The House passel and sent to the Senate yesterday a bill providing for two terms of Federal District Court annually at Denton, Md. Hay loading machines are belng in- troduced Into South America. . i) the fact that one of the beasts costs in the neighborhood of $700, and not until they are able to increase their pay from $7,500 & year to $10,000 will most of the members feel they are able to afford the purchase, no mat- ter how small the upkeep may prove after the initial cost. Might Jolt Congress a Bit. It has been seriously suggested in the best informed circles that instead of feeding his congressional callers on buckwheat cakes, country sau- sage and maple sirup at the White House breakfasts, the President should take each caller separately into the White House “barn” and give him a good folting on the pet pony. It has been stated that the electric horse exercise is almost wholly for the bestirring of a sluggish liver, and every one in Washington will agree that the outward appearance of Con- gress as a whole suggests an exceed- ingly torpid one. Meantime Secretary Slemp, who s enjoying himself down South, is in very bad with a lot of earnest White House reporters. At a farewell din- ner tepdered him he told the re- porters that the President was “keep- ing fit" just “llke a prize fighter.” He told a beautiful story of the daily routine at the White House, the hour of rising, the time devoted to exer- cise, the zero hour for the beginning of work in the executive offices. His scenario was complete—almost. It contained no lurking hint of the famous equine that has taken its place in White House history along with the Roosevelt boxing gloves, single sticks and tennis courts. The question now is, Did Slemp know? Some believe the dark horse was an eclipsed equine even to the Presi- dent’s most intimate official assoclate. In any event, the horse is here to stay and a lot of other officlals are going to take it up.

Joseph Thomas, colored, 12 years old, was injured about the body and limbs in front of his home at 607 Virginia avenue southeast yesterday afternoon by an automobile who sped away after knocking the boy to the ground. At Casualty Hospital the boy's conditlon was pronounced not serfous. Motorman G. M. Souder of the Capl- tal Traction Co. was badly cut by fiying glass and Robert Talley 42, of 51 Rhode Island avenue northwest, was injured about the face When a street car collided with the dairy wagon driven by the latter at Ver- mont avenue and U street this morn- ing. Both were given first ald treat- ment. The wagon, which was dragged several yards by the car, was badly damaged. Milk was spattered al _over the street. Blair Harding, 3 years old, of 1418 W street, was cut by flving glass when an_automobile, operated by his father, C. L. Harding, and an auto- moblle operated by A. Sheer of 1001 H street northeast collided at Thir- teenth and U streets last night. The child was taken to Children’s Hospl- tal for tremtment.

Ward Mentioned in Em- bezzlement Charge Not Former Lorimer Bank Official. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 17.—“Charles E. Ward” for_whom a warrant was sworn out on a charge of embezzle- ment of $100,000 by Thomas Fitz- gerald after Federal investigators had found discrepancles in the in- come of the Fitzgerald Boller Works is not the Attorney Charles E. Ward, formerly secretary of the defunct La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank. Attorney Charles E. Ward has had charge of the financial operations of the boller concern, but Fitzgerald says that the “Charles E.

Senator Jones of Washington, Re- publican whip of the Senate, is one of the leaders of that body who do not look for any rent legislation at this session. ' During a conference with the President at the White Hause today Senator Jones forecast fallure in regard to rent legislation for the District, saylng that because of opposition to this legislation it would be very difficult to get it through during the brief time be- tween now and adjournment. Senator Jones stated that there will ultimate be some measure adopted which will give the proper control over the rent situation in Washington, but it wil} be dope by some other Congress. He declared, however, that if there is too much “profiteering” among real estate men between now and the time Con- gress next meets, there is a moral certalnty that the movement to bring about a drastic rent bill will be given added support, and prob- ably with the ald of a strong wave of protest, such a bill will be readily passed. He sald he has high hopes that the local rea lestate assoclation will hold those of {ts membership in check who might be inclined to be ruthless because of the absence of rent-control law. Senator Jones sald afterward that his conference with the President was not confined entirely to rent law, but that he discussed a number of matters, including the rivers and harbors bill. He also discussed pat- ronage. ALUMNI WILL DINE. Michigan University Dean to Make Address at Rauscher’s.

Decision to call these representatives was arrived at yesterday after witnesses had testi- fled that the air powers of the coun- try was badly deficient.. Condition of Defense. Rear Admiral Hillary Jones, execu- tive chairman.of the general board of the Navy, and Maj. Gen, John L. Hines, chlef of the Army General Staft, are giving the committee the condi- tion of national defense this after- noon. The committee is meeting in executive session, and no more open hearings will be held untll 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Col. Roosevelt in his testimony be- fore the Lampert committee declared he, as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, opposed any restrictions on free speech among naval officers and cited his order which would per- mit any one to write anything as long as it was not regarded as a military secret. He declared in re- ferring to afleged discrimination agalnst officers of divergent views that while he would respect a man who disagreed with him he would not, If in"an administrative capacity, glve him the duty of carryng out a project which was not agreed to. “When I was Assistant Secretary 1 disliked having a ‘yes, yes chorus’ around me.” Sherman McKenzle of the House military committee sald today no more hearings would be held on the Curry bill unless persons desired to testify before the committee. He sald he thought the bill in its present form would have to be amended con- sidcrabiy and that he belleved Rep- resentative Curry thought ltkewlse. G ‘War of Future. Brig. Gen. Amos A. Fries, chief of the Chemical Warfare Service, testi- fied before the committee yesterday afternoon that gas attacks in the next war would be “fifty times more important” than in the last and piec- tured ralds where 25 to 100 tons of gas bombs dropped upon a city would cause “sufficlent” confusion to satisfy the attacking party. He sald if word was brought to the city of Washington that a gas at- ack would be launched by airplanes you would find the population from 50 to 100 miles away, and I would be one of the first to go if I didn't havé a mask or gas-proof clothing.” Comdr. H. C. Richardson, chief of the design section of the Bureau of Aeronautics, appeared to deny a story published yesterday morning in a newspaper that the MO-1 Navy plane Is “s0 unsafe that flares dare not take it off the ground.” The plane in ques- tion, an observation monoplane de- signed for “spotting” with the fleet, does possess some unsatisfactory characteristics, Comdr. Richardson sald, but added his belief they could be corrected. - He agreed with Rep- resentative Lea of California, how- ever, that the type now ls obsolete for the particular work for which it was bullt because a better plane has been discovered. “We will not recom- mend purchase of any more, however.” The committee has been interesting itself in the plane since charges were made that $1,000,000 had been spent on more than 35 of the ships and they have proved unsatisfactory. New Anti-Afrcratt Guns. Lieut, Comdr. Oscar C. Badger, Ord- nance Bureau, Navy Department, an antl-aircraft expert, declared it was a wonder to him that any anti-air- craft shells in the war did hit a plane. “The men who come here and tell you that anti-alrcraft artillery in the last war wasno good for defensive purpose: are pretty nearly right,” he told the committee. The battleship regards the alrplane as its first line of defense and the anti-alrcraft guns as the sec- ond. No noticeable improvements have been made in anti-aircraft work since the war, but the officer sald within two years there would be great de- velopments.

Mr. Gorin took exception to a re- cent pre. statement by the Secretary of the Navy, which he quoted to the effect that 1,000 planes and 3,000,000 pounds of gas would be required to damage a city the size of Washing- ton, and 5000 planes and 9,700.000 pounds of gas to destroy it. The “ab- surd nature” of the statement, the witness asserted, was “evidenced by the fact that this amount is in excess of that manufactured by Germany in the war.” *James V. Martin testified that at the beginning of the World War Mr. Coffin and others connected with alr- craft production were aware that the Whittemen Lewls Co. of Hackensack, N. J. was equipped to manufacture alrplanes in large quantities, but did not give it a contract. . He also asserted that Mr. Coffin had disregarded a type of plane that, aft- er the war, received favorable com- ment from Maj. Gen. Patrick, chlef of the Army Alr Service, and added that foreign governments in some in- stances had accepted airplane speci- fications rejected by this Govern- ment. He testified further that he had not received payment for the material in several airplanes he had turned over to the Government, and had several times been refused a hearing by the War Department on alrcraft matters on the ground that certain statements by him were under investigation. SEAPLANE TYPE UPHELD. The MO-1 type of seaplane, which was developed by the Navy, is being used at the present time and with effectiveness, notwithstanding the charge that was made in the course of the alrcraft investigation by Con- gress that the Navy had spent hun- Greds of thousands of dollars on the construction of these planes and that they were now useless. It is a fact, it was sald in the Bureau of Aeronautics at the Navy quent construction and the first planes of this type that were put into service are now having the necessary changes made. When they were first put into commission it was found that they werk a little out of balance In that the right wing had a tendency to drop. However, this was not the serfous danger when the planes were In the hand of exper- ienced pilots, but an inexperienced the craft on an even keel. The matter of making the correction was only a minor one of adjustment of the alrons. Like new ships, aircraft of a new type when put into service many times develop some minor troubles, which do not show up in the experimental state. . About 30 of these planes have been commissioned and have been doing excellent work, it was polnted out. They have been found to be particu- Jarly valuable with the fleet as spot- tavget practice by the surface craft They have an unusual feature in a very low landing speed and conse- quently a low flying speed, which is in-portant ir: spotting work. This type is a big monoplane capable of carrying three persons. They can remain in the air longer than any other plane so far bullt. . House Tribute to Julius Kahn.
