HINDENBURG GIVES VIEWS. Dawes Plan Success Seen Hinging Upon “Former Enemies.” Associated Press Germany, April Field Marshal van Hindenburg, who is seeking the votes of the German people in the stion for the presi- dency next Sunday, discussed h candidacy in an exclusive inter with the Associated Press dent vesterday. He made speci erence to the Dawes reparations plan, w he declared would be impo: ble of fulfillment unless Germany former enemies evinced “political and economic loyalty.’ under the FARPET A NI STOR 414 V st n.w YCLONE WILL WASH *free demonstration: 8 delivered.

Dawes report are capable of fulfill- ment,” he said, “will become evident only ‘after a certain period of time, since, as you know, the burdens im- posed will steadily increase for vears. We, of course, will not be able to fulfill the conditions unless the for- eign powers participating in the pact evince political and economic loyalty.” When asked regarding his speech vesterday, in which he spoke of Ger- many's desire to co-operate peace- fully in promoting the world's prog- ress, as to what he considered a basis for an ideal security pact, Von Hin- denburg replied: Calls Problem Difficult. “I consider it very difficult to find measures of a guarantee nature which could really compel all nations to adopt a moral policy in state affairs. I should certainly be very happy if it should come to pass in my old age that the policies of nations were de- termined by sound common sense. But we are not that far as yet.” The field marshal contends that his election would have no effect on Ger-| many’s international financlal posi- tion, as the following question and answer indicates: Question—*“Would the fact that the Reichbloc is mainly under the leader- ship of conservative-nationalistic cir- cles endanger Germany's international financial interests in the event of the Reichbloc’s victory at the polls?” Denies Political Aspect. Answer—“To begin with, it is not true that my candidacy has a partisan political character. As for the rest, I am convinced and have positive data for my opinfon that financial world problems as they relate to Germany have nothing whatever to do with the election of the nation’s head.” Von Hindenburg expressed the opin- ion that these nationalistic circles would not be able to exert a menacing influence upon his candidacy, when he s reminded that such a danger was feared in many quarters. “I am enough of a man,” he ob- self and make my own decisions. That is what I used to do as a soldier.” To the question as to whether he believed complete separation of the church and state desirable, he replied: I am a believing Christian, and I desire that Germany's affairs shall be conducted in a Christian spirit.” Right Persons Wanted. The final question was: “Is a mon- archial state more conducive than a republican to advance personal dis- law and order and stable con- ditions To this the field marshal replied: “It does not depend on the form of but rather on there being per- ities at the head whom one re- s and ‘who, through their au- . insure order.” At the conclusion of the formal interview Marshal von Hindenburg’s attention was directed to a statement in a Berlin daily newspaper that the former Crown Prince intended to call on him and that an impressive re- ception had been planned. Von Hin- denburg burst into a hearty !augh and said he considered it the best joke of the season and flatly denied the truth of_the story. Lieut. Col. von Feldmann remerked that the field marshal had not seen the Hohenzollerns in a very long time. : Hindenburg Loves Dog. Seldom if ever has there been a more touching relationship between master and animal than that between Field Marshal von Hindenburg, Ger- man_ presidential candidate, and his shepherd dog, “Rolf,” In the opinion of Capt. von Kuegelgen, who is Von Hindenburg’s secretary, aide and companion. Rolf was presented to the field marshal by the National Shepherd Dog Breeders' Association, after in- truders had entered his premises, caus- ing reports that an attempt on his Yia | life was contemplated.

Bradford Abernathy, speaking on “Marshall and the Constitution,” was this morning chosen to represent Central High School in the Wash- ington finals o fthe national oratori- cal contest. Three boys, Bradford Abernathy, Paul Keyser, jr.,and Hope Smooth, spoke in this final contest. They had.been selected from a large number of boys and girls who entered the contest. Mr, Abernathy will receive The Evening Star's prize of $100 for winning the contest in his school, and in addition will have a_ chance to compete for the prize of $300 of- fered by The Evening Star for the best orator in the secondary schools of Washington. The contest at Central has been under the supervision of E. R. Lutz of the history department. Marine Band to Play. Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, com- mandant of the United States Ma- rine Corps, has mnotified the director of the national oratorical contest that, as requested, the Marine Band Or- chestra_would furnish the music at the final meeting of the contest, to be held in the Washington Auditorium on the evening of May 8. The music furnished by this or- ganization at the finals last -year was one of the delightful features of the evening. As the time draws near for the final meeting of the 1925 contest evidences of nation-wide interest are manifest- ing themselves. Requests for reser- vations in large blocks of tickets have come in from California, Michigan, In- diana, Kansas, and, in fact, virtually every part of the country. Big Delegation Coming. The largest delegation representing any one school outside of Washington will be that of Germantown High School in Philadelphia, which has made reservations for 300 of its pupils for the final contest, May 8. - This delegation will come down as a unit and will have a solid block of seats in the balcony of the auditorium. The official timekeepers for the na- tional finals will be Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, chief of the Chemical Warfare Service of the United States Army: Judge Robert E. Mattingly of the Mu- nicipal Court and Isaac Gans, ex-presi- dent of the Washington Chamber of Commerce and prominent in Wash- ington business and organization af- fairs. The contestants will be allowed 10 minutes of actual speaking time, ex- clusive of the salutation. If any con- testant speaks beyond 10 minutes, Maj. Gen. Fries, as chairman of the timekeepers, will call the presiding of- fficer’s attention to that fact and the contestant will be stopped at that point. He will, however, not be dis- qualified, but will simply be judged on his performance up to the moment that his time expired. Port Engineer to Speak. , Maj. Elihu Church, transportation engineer of the port of New York, will lecture on freight problems to- night at 8:20 o'clock before the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. Owing to the many foreign trade experts in Washington who are interested in these problems, the lecture will be public. Maj. Church is one of the foremost experts in the country. He will out- line improvements that can be made in transportation facilities, not only in New York but in other commercial centers. The growing uses of motor trucks also is a problem with which aj. Church will deal. L e e B e sented to him he gave it promptly to his grandchildren. An early riser, Hindenburg spends much time read- bt ng. Hindenburg loves sociability, his aide sald, and frequently dines out, either at the home of his son or with his pastor. Concerning Hindenburg's health, Lieut. Col. von Feldman, the general's political adviser, said: iis house physician stated posi- tively that Hindenburg was a thor- oughly well man with no trace of in- firmities of old age. Among the general's fondest hopes is the wish that his only son, who is now the father of two girls, may have o perpetuate the name of Hin- SN Be Ready for Inspection Hedges & Middleton, Inc.

Frank Kowanda, 37, roomer at 1604 Seventh street, shot and killed him- self late yesterday while he walked along the Baltimore and Ohlo Ralil- road tracks near Takoma Park. He was seen lying on the tracks, police report, but when a train swept down upon him, he leaped to his feet, walked along the tracks, shot him- self and fell lifeless to the ground as the train passed him. Mr. Kowanda, a resident of Wash- ington for 18 vears, was employed in a machine shop on D street. He was unmarried. He dld not go to work yesterday. At noon he talked with Samuel Bauman, at whose house he roomed, and at that time there was nothing in his conduct to sug- gest he was contemplating suicide, police were told. His friends and relatives were bewildered at the act, (l»\ml say they know of no reason for t. Several hours after Mr. Kowanda left his residence, he was seen on the tracks where he ended his life. Police took the body to Freedmen's Hospital, where a physiclan pro- nounced the man dead. The body was removed to the District of Co- lumbia morgue. Coroner Nevitt gave a_certificate of suicidal death and Wencel Niki, brother-inlaw of the deceased, residing at 1431 Fairmont street, took charge of the body. Ko- wanda was a native of Austria. §500, 000 DAMAGE 10 APPLES FEARED Lowered Teémperature Hits Cumberland Valley—Vir- ginia Also Suffers. Special Dispatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., April The apple crop in the Cumberland Valley has virtually been wiped out, with a loss of approximately $500,000, as the result of freezing weather last night, when the temperature dropped to 21 degrees, it was reported here this morning. The pear crop also has been ruined, but the loss, it was said, will approximate only about $6,000. F. L. Carpenter, manager for the American Fruit Growers, which has thousands of acres under cultivation, announced that the growers had been hard hit, but sald the actual extent of the damage will not be known un- til late this afternoon. He estimated that at least three-fourths of the ap- ple crop is ruined, and that the en- tire crop may be gone. The destruction of pears and apples would wipe out the valley fruit, for cherries and peaches were killed by the cold spell in January Fear for Orchards. MARTINSBURG, W. Va.. April 21. —Apple buds in orchards of this sec- tion were serfously injured if not com pletely ruined last night by a freeze that sent the thermometer down to 22 degrees in low places and left a Gov- ernment mean registration of 28 degrees. Fruit men generally con ceded that all varieties were damaged with the probable exception of the York Imperials, whose buds were not fully out, and that the only orchards which had much hope were those in high altitudes. ‘WINCHESTER, Va., April 2 Commercial apple orchards sustained considerable damage during the night, when the temperature fell to 28 degrees. Laboratory experts said the early fruit was severely injured, with late varieties apparently escaping. A fair crop was prodlace;i three years i itions. 21— A small down payment and low monthly terms buys one of GOOD GARAGES protection for your car_ and a greater resale value, JUST— Call Lincoln “TEN-ONE HUNDRED” WASHINGToN 201 Fenton Court D. C, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, e GAPACITY OF PHONE CABLE IS DOUBLED New Device Enables Twice as Many Conversations, A. T. & T. Co. Announces. By the Associated Press. PROVIDENCE, R. I, April 21.—A new development by which a single telephone cable, scarcely more than 2 inches in diameter, will be able to carry nearly twice the present maxi mum of 1,200 simultaneous conversa- tions, was publicly announced by the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. before the Rhode Island Utilities Commission here yesterday. The announcement was made by Out- side Plant Development Engineer Frederick L. Rhodes, testifying before the commission as a witness for the New England Telephone and Tele- graph Co. in the case for higher rates in Rhode Island. Explaining that the inside wires of the cable have heretofore been insu- lated by cutting paper into marrow strips and winding it on the wire, Mr. Rhodes declared that under the new method the paper will not be cut into strips at all, but will be coated on the wire in semi-liquid form. Drying, this thin skin will be far less bulky and quite as efficient, he said, exhibiting a specimen of the new creation. The process has been in a state of develop- ment, he stated, for about four years. BIG GERMAN TAX YIELD. Receipts Exceed Estimates by More Than 2,000,000,000 Marks.
