2 * HONDURAS TROUBLE NOT FEARED HERE Officials Believe Landing Party in Ceiba Has Sit- uation in Hand. The American Government appears to regard with confidence the present situation of American property and lives in Honduras, for whose protec tion a detachment of 165 officers and men were landed vesterday at Ceiba by the cruiser Denver. In the absence of additional reports as to the revolutionary situation about Ceiba, officials here believe the land- ng force is discharging its function without difficulty. Any incident of importance undoubtedly would be reported immediately to Washington. Taken as Percaution. The request for the landing force, made by Consul Waller, was a pre- cautionary measure to prevent recur- rence of the situation which de- veloped from revolutionary disorders in_Ceiba a year ago. Washington's policy will be to keep the detachment from the Denver in Celba long as there is any pos- sible need of protection to American interests Advices so far received from Amer- fcan agents in Honduras have failed to mention the capture of Ocotepec and the advance of rebels toward mayagua near Tegucigalpa, of Honduras, as reported by raguan sources. Ni Trace Ferrera Movements. Intelligence reports received by the Washington Government within the last 24 hours, however, said that Gen. Ferrera was believed to be in Guate- mala. In the event these reports prove correct, officials here who are fa- miliar with Gen. Ferrera's tactics said they believed he was in Guatemala, waiting only until he was assured that the revolution had been successfully started and expanded to proportions where his personal command was re- quired. When that moment arrive if it does, official: id, the general un- questionably would re.enter Honduras and move energetically to overthrow the Tegucigalpa government. Meanwhile, however, the forces of the government presumably will be mobilized in an attempt to crush the revolutionists before their movement has had time to spread throughout the country. The situation in which the Tegucigalpa authorities find them selves at present is said to verge on the critical. They have been in off less than thiree months and, despite progress made in stabilizing rovern- ment and restoring peace, broken for the past several years by domestic violence and civil war, it is fel: hare that the new government still i3 un- prepared for another armed strugzle with revolutionists. Can Purchase Arms. The friendly attitude of the Wash- ington administration to that headed by President Barahona, marked by the restoration of diplomatic re'ations between the two governments when he assumed office in February, un- doubtedly will be helpful in an indi- rect but more or less effectis to the Tegucigalpa authorities. also have the advantage of being to purchase arms and munitions from the military supplies of the United States, while the revolutio prohibited under a proclamation is- sued by President Coolidge in March, 1 from buying war mater the United States, except by sion of the Washington Government. The War Department, acting with the approval of the State Department, recently delivered to agents of the Honduran government 3,000 Russian military rifles obtained during the war 20 machine guns and 2,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition. Ifthe ship- ment went forward without delay it should be available by now to the government troops in Honduras. Presence of Navy Craft. The presence of American naval eraft along the Honduran coast, with the landing detachment in Ceiba and others | readily accessible should further need arise for the protection of foreign lives and property from revolutionists, is regarded as another factor which can be viewed with sat- isfaction by the Honduran authorities. Ceiba is a port well known to the officers and men of the cruiser Denver. They have been on duty there several times before and for reasons similar to those which led to the landing to- day. Consul Waller also is experienced in revolutionary affairs. It was he who obtained protection of the Den- ver’s men for the foreign colony in Ceiba, when it was threatened by revo- lutionists in March, 1924, and had to be confined in the compound under armed protection of the American sailors. At that time an American cit was killed by revolutionists in Ceiba, a British subject was shot and seri. ously wounded, and two other for- eigners in the compound also suffered injury. Consul Waller is believed to have acted in the present situation, however, more quickly than he did a Year ago, and the landing of the de- tachment yesterday apparently was effected before the revolutionists had caused trouble of any consequence. Under conditions prevailing now in Ceiba, it probably will not be neces- sary for the foreigners to seek refuge in the compound. Officers in charge of the landing party presumably will es- tablish at once a neutral zone in which the foreign colony will be able to live in safety and, unless the situation be- comes more dangerous than officials here expect, they will be able to con- tinue their normal pursuits without molestation. NATIONAL GUARD HITS MISUSE OF INSIGNIA War Department Informed by Col. Brett of Alleged Law Violation by Taxi Company. Efforts are being made by the Na- tional Guard of the District of Colum- bia to force a local taxicab company 1o remove from its automobiles an in- signia which the guard officials claim s a part of the uniform of the Na- tional Guard and therefore in viola- tion of the law prohibiting its use by unauthorized persons. Col. Lloyd M. Brett, adjutant gen- #ral of the District of Columbia Militia, has written to the Department of Jjus- tice about the matter. Col. Brett sug- mested that, as the department was going into the matter of the use of Army uniforms and insignia by pri- vate individuals, it should go into the matter of the use of the 29th Division insignia by the local cab company. However, H. S. Ridgely, chief attorney of the department, has replied that i this particular matter there was no law known by this the local concern could be prosecuted. At the same time, it was suggested that the local guard officials take up the matter with the War Department, and this is being done. The insignia, which is worn by all “roops of the 29th Division, of which the District National Guard is a com- penent, was adopted as its official dis- tinguishing mark during the World fVar and is worn on the left sleeve, P> ) Restored to Office PHILIPPE BERTHELOT, in French foreign office again, due to ammesty . declaration. APARTMENT ZONE RULING ANNOUNCED Structures Banned on Mas- sachusetts Avenue Beyond Twenty-First Street. Erection of apartment houses will be permitted on Massachusetts avenue from Fiftenth to Twenty-first street, but prohibited beyond that point, the Zoning Commission announced today. At the public hearing last week the commission considered a petition in which it was asked that Massachu- setts avenue be restricted against en- croachment of apartment houses all the way from Fifteenth street to Water Side drive. There was considerable debate at the hearing both for and against the petition. Several speakers pointed out that on that part of Massachu- setts avenue near the downtown sec- tion of the city boarding houses al. ready are being established and that it would be unfair under such con- ditions to prohibit apartment houses there. Dupont Citizens Protest. The Dupont Circle Citizens' A sociation took part in the hearing, advocating that apartment houses be kept out. The commission also announced that both sides of K street from the alley west of Sixteenth street to Twentieth street will be changed from residential to a first commercial area. The commission denied the applica- tion to permit row houses in the area bounded by Quackenbos street, Con- cord avenue, Madison street, Blair road and Georgia avenue. The commission granted the peti- tion to permit row houses in the area in the northeast bounded on the north by N street, south by Benning road, ! |east by Oklahoma avenue and on the west by Twenty-second street between K and N streets and by Nineteenth street between K street and Benning road. Request Is Refused. The commission refused to change from residential to industrial prop- erty on the south side of Riggs road northeast between First place and the railroad. The commission granted a change prohibiting apartment houses in the area beunded by Webster, Emerson, Fifth and Ninth streets. The commission voted to permit row houses on a parcel of land bounded by Western avenue, Forty-fourth street and Harrison street, except on the Western avenue frontage. The west portion of property on the east side of Thirty-sixth street be- tween Eilicott and Davenport streets was changed from “A, restricted” and 40-foot height limit to “C area” with a 60-foot height limit. Certain property near the southeast corner of Sherman avenue and Colum- bia road was changed from “B"” to “C” area, which permits of occupying the larger percentage of the lot by a building. Height Limit Raised. The height limit of the northeast corner of Seventeenth and K streets was increased from 90 to 110 feet. Property on both sides of Seventh street between Massachusetts avenue and C streets northeast was changed from first commercial to residential. The commission refused to change the east side of Connecticut avenue between McKinley and Morrison streets from residential to first com- mercial. The request to zone the west side of Connecticut avenue opposite the Zoological Park from residential to first commercial was postponed until next month, when the commission will consider applying the change be- tween Cathedral avenue and Ordway street. The commission changed several lots on Eads street between Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth streets northeast from residential to second commercial area. AUTO HITS SMIDDY’S HORSE IN ROCK CREEK Irish Envoy Only Slightly Injured, But His Mount Has to Be Killed. The horse of Prof. Timothy A. Smiddy, representative in the United States of the Irish Free State, was knocked’ from under him on Beach Drive, near Pierce Mill, Rock Creek Park, yesterday aftermoon in. a col- lision with the car of Mrs. Alexander Louden of the Netherland legation. Prof. Smiddy, thrown from his mount, was badly bruised about the back and legs and was confined to his apartment this morning. He was able to get out later today. A report of the accident was made to Lieut. Carroll, chief of the United States park police, by Sergt. Shelton and Pvt. Fogarty, members of the park police force. The horse was so badly injured that it was found necessary to shoot it. Prof. Smiddy was driven to his apartment in the Wardman Park Ho- tel, and Mrs. Louden was taken to the Netherland legation suffering fromh shock. Both parties asked that no police action be taken. —_— ‘When foot-and-mouth disease starts among the herds in central European, countries, it spreads rapidly over large areas because the infected herds America.

Mr. Johnston said regarding creation of the committee: ‘“The Wheeler defense committee believes that the public should be in- terested in seeing that Senator Wheel- er is not impoverished in defending himself against charges brought as the result of the performance of his public duty. The committee also feels that the American people have a di- rect interest not only in seeing that Justice is done to Senator Wheeler personally, but even more in the fun- damental principles involved in the Wheeler case. “While many of the ablest attorneys in the United States, including Sena. tors Walsh, Borah and Norris, have volunteered their services, the ex- penses for legal assistants, witnesses and other legitimate and necessary purposes will necessarily be very heavy. “The Department of Justice has al- the COMDR.

MACKENZIE, Formerly Staff Correspondent of the Chicago Daily News ard The Star in Russia With Secretary Hoover the writer today discussed the question of the recognition of Soviet Russian govern- ment by the United States. Mr. Hoover asked that the. writer let the Russian people know that no steps toward such recognition would be taken by the Washington Govern- ment until every Russian agent of the American relief administration falsely arrested and imprisoned or exiled on the charge of espionage in connection with his work in that relief had been released from prison or brought back from ‘exile. In the course of our conversation Mr. Hoover showed considerable in- dignation. He denounced the charges brought against Russian assistants of the American relief as ridiculously false. Charges Are False. “And the Russians know them to be false,” said Mr. Hoover, “and their actions showed great ingratitude. I gave several years of my life to help- ing raise and distribute $75,000,000 of American money for relief of suffering among the Russian people. The Amer- ican agents who went into Russia to distribute this relief were actuated by one single purpose—to help Russia. “The work involved in this distri- bution was so vast that American agents could not manage it without assistance. They had to enlist the services of Russian assistance. The reports circulated throughout Russia that they were helping Americans in a campaign of espionage upon Russia were so absurd that the Soviet au- thorities could not belleve them, and, in fact, do not believe. Has Complete Data. “The attitude of the Soviet of- ficials in arresting and imprisoning a number of our Russian assistants ready expended many thousands of doliars in conpection with the case, and during the recent session of Congress asked for & special appropriation of $15,000 to cover extraordinary ex- penses in the prosecution of the case. “The office of the Wheeler defense committee is located in room 508, Lenox Building, 1523 L street north west, PRESIDENT LISTED FOR ADDRESS MAY 3 Will Speak at Laying of Corner ,Stone of Jewish Community House. President Coolidge has few engage- ments to speak in public in the near future, the next one being on May 3, ‘when he will attend the corner-stone laying of the Jewish Community Cen- ter House, under course of construc- tion at the southeast corner of Six- teenth and Q streets. The President’s address on this oc- caston, however, will be very brief and will be confined almost entirely to the objects of this community center house. His next speech will be in the Minnesota State fair grounds in Minneapolis, June 8, when he will par- ticipate in the Norse centennial cele- bration. Simple Ceremonies in View. The ceremonies which will mark the corner stone laying of the Jewish Com- munity Center Building will be very simple and short in duration. In the absence from the city of Harry King, president of the Jewish Community Center, Rudolph Behrends will pre- side. Rev. James E. Freeman, Epis- copal Bishop of Washington, will offer prayer, and Rabbf Abram Simon of the Eighth Street Temple will consecrate the stone. There will be singing and orchestral music. The ceremonies will commence at 3 o'clock in the after- noon. This building, whenr completed next Spring, will represent an expenditure of more than $400,000, and, according to those who are responsible for it, it is to serve a noble and useful pur- pose in the National Capital. Rabbi Simon, who was one of the delegation that formally invited the President to particpate in the corner stone laying, said today, while discussing the project, that this house i8 to be the “last word” In community center houses. He said that the building will house Americanization classes, other forms of- education, social ac- jare not destroyed as they are in|tivities and that the center aim lay much stress upon soon - after the American Relief Agency left Russia shows great in- gratitude. There was no need for espionage. I have filed away in my personal documents fuller facts about Russian resources than the Moscow government itself possesses. “The Russians apparently destroy- ed their accumulated information during the revolutionary struggle. We kept ours. “These groundless attacks upon our assistants after we left have done much to alienate sympathy here, and while the imprisonments of those assistants continue it will form an impassable barrier against any discussion of a renewal of officlal relations.” (Copyright, 1925, by Chicago Dally News Co.) KELLOGG ISSUES NOTICE. Informs Diplomatic Corps U. S. Against Recognition. Because of the renewed discussion of Russian recognition which marked the appointment of Frank B. Kellogg', as Secretary of State, a communica- tion has been sent to members of the American diplomatic corps advising them that there would be no change in the attitude of the Washingtort Government on ghe Russian question. The letter was sent out by Mr. Kel- logg when he first assumed office in March. It was regarded by him as a matter of departmental detail and rou- tine and had been kept confidential until the contents were revealed to- day at the White House. Robber Returns Loot Taken From Bondsman’s Home ) Charles D. Hood, 4601 Sixteenth street northwest, is a professional bondsman and frequently keeps thieves and other law violators from spending time in jail by fur- nishing ball for them. He is to- day a firm believer in the old ad- age that the “thief will not rob his friend knowingly."” About 10 days ago some thief visited the home of Mr. Hood and took away some jewelry, old coins, and a small sutn of money. The bondsman notified the police of his loss and the papers reported the visit of the marauder. This morn- ing's mail brought a “C. O.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK., April 21.—Tsuneo Matsudalra, the Japanese Ambassador, speaking at a dinner given in his honor at the Harvard Club by the Federal Council of Churches, denfed last night that the recent Russo-Japa- nese treaty violated the principle of the open door in Russia and that a secret militaristic agreement has been made by the two countries. The “Ambassador also sald that Japan has fully lived up to the letter and spirit of the armament limitations agreement and that there is no foun- dation for predictions of war between Japan and the United States. “It has been charged recently that certain clauses in the new Russo- Japanese treaty transgressed the prin- ciple of the open door in Russia,” Am bassador Matsudaira sald. “This is certainly a far-fetched interpretation and T was very glad to observe, during the last week, that a fair interpreta- tion has been made by Americans themselves. Denies Secret Treaty. ““There is another point in connec- tion with this treaty about which ap- prehensions appear to be entertained. The report is circulated from time to time that Russia and Japan have con- cluded a secret agreement of a more or less militaristic character. Secret diplomacy, gentlemen, is a thing of the past. It is an idea repugnant to the spirit of the treaties made at the ‘Washington conference, to which we are a party. I am happy to be able to assure you that Japan has no se- cret treaty or agreement with Russia or with any other country.” Japan, he said, has lived up to the pacts made at the limitation of armaments conference by completing the scrapping of 15 capital ships, and this, he said, shows that rumors of war between Japan and the United States are without basis. Touches on Land Laws. The ambassador also discussed the passage by Japan of laws allowing foreigners to own land there. He said that the Japanese government is tak- ing no retaliatory measures, although “there are some states in this coun- try which deny the ownership of even lease of land to Japanese.” The dinner was given by the com. mission on international justice of the council of churches and was ar- ranged by a committee headed by Bishop Charles H. Brent, formerly chiet chaplain to the A. E. F. S BUS LINE HEARING IS SET FOR MAY 1 W. R. & E. Wants Temporary Serv- ice, Pending Construction Work on Wisconsin Avenue. A public hearing will be held in the board room of the District Building at 10 o'clock Friday, May 1, on the petition of the Washington Railway & Electric Co. to establish a tempo- rary motor bus line out Massachusetts avenue from Dupont Circle to Forty- fifth and Fessenden streets. Although the company is only ask- ing for authority to operate the bus route pending reconstruction of its tracks on Wisconsin avenue, there have been indications at the District Building that consideration later may be given to making it a permanent plan. Measure Is Temporary. ‘While track work is in progress on Wisconsin avenue it will be necessary to discontinue through service for a time from Macomb street and Massa- chusetts avenue west of Wisconsin avenue to the downtown section. The bus line is desired to take the place of this through service. The route follows: From Forty- fifth and Fessenden streets, to Forty- seventh street, to Ellicott street, to Forty-eighth, to Chesapeake street, to Forty-ninth, to Murdock Mill road, to Massachusetts avenue, to Nebras- ka avenue, to Tunlaw road, to Cathe- dral avenue, to Massachusetts ave- n to Dupont circle and return by the same route. i The company proposed a 10-cent fare on these busses, with a free transfer to intersecting cars and buss- es. Passengers paying a cash 8-cent fare on the Washington Railway and Electric cars would be sold a 2-cent transfer to the Massachusetts ave- nue bus.

Outright statements and even hints that the Corcoran Gallery of Art, al- ternate recipient of the $3,000,000 art collection of the late ex-Senator Wil- liam A. Clark of Montana, will accept the collection declined by the Metro-! politan Museum of- Art, in New York, are entirely unauthorized, according to_officials of the local art institution. Under the terms of Senator Clrk’s will this remarkable assemblage of ob- jects of art was left to the Metropoli- tan Museum with the proviso that it be exhibited intact as a unit and in perpetuity. That museum yesterday, after due consideration, announced it- self as unable to accept the bequest. It will now be offered to the Corcoran Gallery here under the same terms. Rests in Trustees’ Hands. There is no doubt that the consensus of local opinion is hopeful that the Corcoran Gallery may see fit to accept. Naturally the ‘matter is under con- sideration by the heads of the local art institution, who are entirely ap- preciative of the earnest hope that the collection may come to the Na- tional Capital and swell its prestige as a national art center. But the de- cisfon, pending the tender of the gift by the executors of the estate, which has not even happened ver, rests en- tirely with the board of trustees of the gallery, and not with any one member or with the director. A special meeting of the board of trustees will be called in the near fu- ture to consider with utmost care this important question. Have Four Months to Decide. Statements have appeared in the press, both here and in New York, to the effect that “It is indicated the Corcoran Gallery will accept,” “Cor- coran director hints a way will be found to house collection,” and even “Announcement was made recently in Washington that the Corcoran Gal- lery would accept.” It is entirely im- possible that any of these could, in view of the circumstances, be correct, gallery officials declare. The Metropolitan Museum had four months after Senator Clark’s death to make up its mind, or until June. The Corcoran Gallery has until four months after the declination by the first-named institution, or until Au- gust 20 next. NEW YORK LACES ROOM. Cannot Provide Wall Space for Clark Collection. By the Associated Pres NEW YORK, April 21.—The board of trustees of the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art yesterday notified execu- tors of the estate of the late Senator William A. Clark of Montana that they declined the bequest of Senator Clark’s art collection under the con. ditions of the will. By unanimous action the board adopted the following resolation: “Resolved, That the Metropolitan Museum of Art is constrained to de- cline sald gift under the conditions stated and promptly notifies the ex- ecutors, in writing, of that conclu- sion, but will gladly accept many of the objects included in the gift if these conditions can be changed.” The Clark collection, considered one of the most remarkable privac: cul- lections in existence, is hovsed in the late Senator’s mansion on Fifth ave- nue, and, although it has never been catalogued, is estimated to be worth about $3,000,000. Must Be Shown as Unit. By the terms of the will, if the Met- ropolitan Museum does not accept the bequest entire, and provide for its housing and exhibition as a unit to be known as the W. A. Clark Collec- tion, it Is to go to the Corcoran Art Gallery of Washington on the sam2 conditions. The trustees announced their de- cision after a regular monthly meet- ing today, at which the president, Robert W. DeForest, presided. The trustees would not say whether they believed any modification of the terms possible. Pointing out that Senator Clark had directed that all of the ob- jects of art, antiquities and rugs enumerated in the will must be per- manently placed in a separate gallery, the trustees said that this would pre- vent all future rearrangement of the individual objects with others of the same type, and would compel the mu- seum to perpetually exhibit more ob- jects of a particular type than would be expedient. Wall Space Lacking. “For our museum, indeed, for any representative museum,” the _state- ment =aid, ‘‘with its inherent limita- tion of wall space, to S0 exhibit 65 paintings by three modern artists— Corot, Cazin and Montecelli—would prevent it from adequately exhibiting the works of other artists.” Separate exhibition of Senator Clark’s collections would require sev- eral galleries, which the museum could not now furnish, and no pro- vision for the cost of erecting and maintaining was included in the will, the trustees said. The Clark collection is noted for its 22 Corots. including the famous “Dancing Under the Trees”; for its 22 Cazins and 21 Montecellis. 'Fortuny's ‘““Choosing the Model” and six panels by Buottet de Monvel are included in the collection, along with many other Ffllntmgs. objects of “art, medieval aces, statuary, rugs, chinaware, tapes- tries and stained glass windows. Treasures Lost to New York. “The collection is lost to New York forever,” sald Dr. Lewis R. Morris, son-in-law of Senator Clark, last night when informed that the trustees had adopted a resolution offering to accept “many of the objects included in the gift if these conditions. can be changed. “The executors cannot make any changes,”. said Dr. Morris, whose wife, Katheriné, daughter of Senator Clark, is one of the executors under the will, “Their hands are-tled.” e CHILD'S LEG FRACTURED. Hit by Auto in Street Near School. Woman Badly Hurt. Seven-year-old Dorothy Warrington, daughter of Chester Warrington, president of the Warrington Motor Co., sustained a fracture of her left leg yesterday when knocked down in front of Elizabeth Brown School, Chevy Chase Circle, by the automo- bile of Mrs. Ada Wilson, Bethesda, Mad. The child had been taken in an au- tomobile from her home, 12 East Ox- ford street, Chevy Chase, Md., to school with other children and was struck by the passing machine before she reached the sidewalk. The in. jured child was treated at Providence Hospital by Dr. Oscar Hunter and taken home. Elizabeth Horton, 60, roomer at 1328 Harvard street, was knocked down at Fourteenth and Harvard streets last night by a street car in charge of Motorman Carl Masincupp, Alexan- dria, Va. She was severely injured, recei: a cut across her right temple and collarbone. The injured a Garfield Week Set Aside For Painting and Cleaning Premises The District Commissioners to- day proclaimed the period from April 27 to May 2 as Clean-Up, Paint-Up week in Washington. Action was taken on motion of Commissioner Oyster, who called attention to the fact that at this time of year it is*customary for the city fathers to appeal to house- holders and civic organizations to unite in an intensive effort to im- prove the appearance of the city by “dressing up” their premises. This will be the signal for father to hurry home from work in the afternoon, get out the garden rake, the broom and the paint brushes ard try to outdo his neighbor in tidying up the home. SHIPPING MINORITY ANSWERS COOLIDGE Dissenting Members Explain Stand on Controversy Over Sale to Dollar Line. Minority members of the Shipping Board, who filed statements in the Pacific mall injunction suit against the sale of vessels to the dollar in- terest have informed the President they felt free to join in the proceed. ings because they were mentioned in dividually in the suit. The President inquired as to the action of the minority, who opposed sale to any one on the terms offered, and their answers were practically the same as their statements filed in court. Concerned Over Split. It was emphasized that Mr. Coolidge was concerned not so much with the actual ship sale, but mainly with the administration of the board’'s affairs and the split which resulted in the minority members going into court while a suit was pending against the Government. Commissioners Thompson, Plummer and Benson dissented from the sale of the ships. Counsel for the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company today were preparing its appeal from the decision in the District of Celumbia Supreme Court upholding the board in the sale. Papers in the appeal proceedings were expected to be filed in the Court of Appeals tomorrow. Issue Is Technical. The case there again will be heard In its legal aspects, upon which Jus- tice Hitz reached his decision yester- day to dissolve the temporary injunc-| tion staying the sale, and not on its merits, as involving broader ques- tions of policy under the merchant marine act. Reasons for the decision, announced after four hours of argu-| ment on the legal aspects of the sale as authorized by a majority vote of the board, are expected to be announc ed by Justice Hitz tomorrow when he signs the order terminating the in-| Junction. The appeal to be taken in the pro ceedings, however, will operate to con- tinue in force the temporary restrain ing order. Whether the Pacific Mail would appeal to the United States Su- preme Court in case the Court of Ap- peals sustains the decision of Justice Hitz was regarded today as somewhat improbable, Coolidge Intent Secret. Meanwhile, whether President Coolidge contemplates taking any action is a question which continues to be enveloped in complete silence both at the White House and the Shipping Board. Reports that the sharp division in the board over the sale, which was authorized by a vote of 4 to 3, might result in a request for the resignations of some Commis- sioners or an eventual partial re- organization of the board, brought no comment from either source.

While we will respect all beliefs and are determined to avold troubling consciences, the government remains attached to the law separating the church and the state, and will apply it with equal quantities of tact and firmness.” The government also asked the Chamber to avold discussion of the fi- nancial question which would likely develop misunderstandings, because of the necessity of “maintaining finan- cial stability, ~without which ruin would- threaten our firesides.” Premier Painleve's reference to French debts in his ministeriai state- ment today was taken as presaging early action by Finance Minister Cail- laux toward funding negotiations. All of M. Caillaux’s comment on the sub- Ject indicates his conviction that a settlement of debts is one of the first things to be reached. 1Hs method, it is believed, would be to handle the negotiations himself, possibly sending his own instead of foreign office rep- resentatives to Washington. ‘When the statement was completed Deputy Charles Bertrand began a vitriolic attack upon Caillaux. France learned of Caillaux’'s pres- ence in the cabinet ‘“‘with veritable stupor,” declared Bertrand, interpel- ating the government on the appoint- ment of the present finance minister. “France has not yéet reached the point where she must choose between Cafllaux and bankruptcy. There is something graver than financial bank- ruptcy. It is moral bankruptcy,” de- clared Bertrand. Traces Caillaux Record. A tumult broke out in the Chamber of Deputies when Bertrand referred to the dark days of 1917 and compared Caillaux’s role with that of Clemen- ceau. At the mention of the latter's name the Right rose and cheered lustily, while the Left countered with equally violent manifestations. ~ Cail- laux's friends held their own during but the finance r hignself did not speak a single - FEAR MORE RIOTS - IN SOUTH AFRICA Dispatches Report Natives Seek Added Rights—Four Die in Clash. | By the Associated Press.
