Takes Up Debts. The President today learned at first hand of the conditions of the debtor nations of Europe. Representative Charles L.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily Ne: ROME, August 1.—Romance has triumphed over politics—it is revealed by the laconic announcement in the Ttalian press that the plucky Princess | Mafalda will, after all, wed her lover, | a poor student prince, Philip of Hesse. | after overcoming difficulties to reli- gion and the stubbornness of both | their fathers. Mafalda’s father demanded that | Phillp agree to permit their children to be raised Catholics and Philip’s father opposed on the ground that the children might some day inherit the throne of Hesse, which would be im- possible for a Catholic.

J.. August 1 Anthracite scale conference circles are speculating today whether the confer- ence will continue at all after next Tuesday. Tuesday was suggested for the re. sumption of the parley by John L. Lewls, miners’ president, in his invi tation to Samuel D. Warriner, chair- man of the anthracite operators’ con- ference, and William J. Richards. vet eran of various wage struggles, as the lcut from 1213 per cent to 10; estate [date to enter the conference person ally. He appealed to them as the ac knowledged leaders of the anthracite operators. Mr. Lewis told the two operators that unless they arrived to bolster up | the present personnel of their scale committee the miners could not feel they had any one of sufficient author- ity to deal with, save for W. W. Inglis. committee chairman, who is president of the Glen Alden Coal Co, of Scran- ton. Mr. Lewis deemed the body an array of “lesser executives,” whom the miners, in presenting their demands regarded as a ‘jury of supernumera- ries.” Further negotiation with them would seem “farce,” he said. ‘Warriner to Stand Pat. Word of the Lewis “invitation reached Mr. Warriner at his home in Lansford, Pa.. and he lost no time in authorizing representatives here to say for him that the anthracite in- dustry would stand pat on its present scale committee. The committee, for all Mr. Lewls' feelings toward it, bore the unanimous mandate of that indus- try, it was said. The position it had taken was ‘“‘the position of the Indus- try as a whole.” Mr. Warriner's reply was taken hers as meaning that he and Mr. Richards will not accept Mr. Lewis’ proposal. What Mr. Lewis will do when, with his miner following at his back. he enters the conference room Tuesday to find neither of the two men there forms a major part of today's specu- lations. Mr. Warriner himself anticipated one possibility when he said: “T can scarcely believe Mr. Lewis will take the responsibility, as he threatens, of breaking off the negotia- tions on the pretext that the opera- tors' committee is lacking in power.” Lewis Will Attend. Mr. Lewis in has every intention of attending the conference Tuesday himself. When he learned last night of the position Mr. Warriner had taken he had no| comment to make. The Inglis scale committee, whose qualifications Mr. Lewis has chal- lenged, comprises: Andrew M. Fine, vice president, Hudson Coal Co.; Thomas Thomas, general manager Lehigh Valley Coal Co.. Jesse F. ‘Warriner, general manager. Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co.; E. D. Suen- der, general superintendent, Madeira Hill Co., and George Hadesty, general manager, Philadeiphia and Reading Coal and Iron Co. Mr. Lewis’ invitation read: should be pleased, indeed. if you and Mr. Richards would deign to be present when the conference recon- venes Tuesday. It would give the mine workers reasonable assurance that they were not pleading their case before a jury of supernumeraries. The action might also go far to con- vince the public that it was not be- ing gulled by being compelled to wit- ness a dress rehearsal of an amateur theatrical. “If it should then develop that the lesser executives have correctly set forth the opinion of the operators, it would the more quickly enable the miners’ representatives to effect a discontinuance of the farce.” MILK lEN CONSIDER 1 PER CENT BROKERAGE Special Dispatch to The Star.

Holder shot and kill- ed his wife and then himself at their home here about 10 o'clock today. Police have not definitely assigned | a motive, but declared their prelimi- nary investigation indicated ill-health was the cause. The couple apparently were in the midst of their morning meal when | the wife was shot down, the minister then firing through his own heart. Reports of the shots were heard by neighbors, who rushed to the scene. They found Mrs. Holder lying face downward on the dining room floor and a few feet away was the body of her husband. On the table was the half-finished meal. Holder retired from active minis- terial duties several vears ago and in recent months had been working in a furniture store. Mrs. Holder had been his housekeeper until she became his wife. The retired minister had been ill for about a week. but went to his work vesterday. He was unable to report today. Mrs. Holder also was employed, but she, too, did not go to work foday. Both were thought by the police to be about 35 vears of age. Holder's first wife died several years ago leaving three children, who now survive the father. They are Winfrey, 15: Grace, 13, and Pauline, 10. DEPUTIES SHOOT NEGRO.

Jones, who is an escaped prisoner trom the House of Correction, at Jes- sups, Md.. where he was serving a sentence for assault with a deadly weapon, was wanted at La Plata last night_in connection with an assault upon his wife, Gertie. Deputy Sheriff H. C. Hicks and Deputy Sheriff A. P. Gardner were asked for aid in. remoy- ing Jones from the neighborhood. Jones was sighted by the two deputies and two other members of the posse near the home of his wife, and a pistol battle, in which more than a score of shots were fired, ensued. Jones ran, according to Deputy Hicks, throwing his revolver away in his flight. During the shooting he was hit twice in the back. He was picked up, after collapsing, and rushed to this city for treatment. Who fired the shots which took ef- fect is not known, since all of the of- ficers were using the same tvpe re- volvers. “SCOOTER” DROWNS BOY. CHICAGO, August 1 (P).—A few | hours after a determined mother seek- | ing her lcst son had appealed by radio to perhaps milllons, the body of the lad, Dwight Tracy. 7 vears old, was taken from Lake Michigan. Then the | mother, who had bravely insisted since | he vanished Monday when he took his scooter to play in Jackson Park, that he still lived, collapsed in her hus- band’s arms. Although the police had believed when the scooter was found on the lake shore that Dwight had drowned accidentally, they said they would in- vestigate the possibility that older boys might have pushed him into the water. Two bruises were found on his head. .

The steamers Peary and Bowdoin of the MacMillan Arctic expedition have fought their wav free of the ice in Melville Bay and expect to reach Etah, Greenland, their main base, today. That would bring them to their principal destination on schedule, re- lieving fears of a delay which might have interfered seriously with the major purposes of the expedition. Both vessels got out of the ice yes- terday after having been held im- movable for several days about 20 miles south of Cape York. In a dis- patch to the Navy Department, dated yesterday, Lieut. Comdr. Byrd sald: “Will holst planes overboard soon as Peary reaches Etah and will werk day and night to make up for the time lost in ice. “Erecting planes is a major opera- tion, as wings cannot be put on planes on Peary due to lack of space. Planes in water without wings would upset, so will take planes to beach lashed to two boats.” YOUTH, 19, ACQUITTED IN BROTHER'S MURDER Howard Moore Denies on ‘Stand That He Was Friendly With Slain Man’s Wife. BRIDGETON. N. J.. August 1.— Nineteen-year-old Howard Moore was acquitted vesterday of the murder of his brother, Thomas Moore, jr., in the family home in Millville Jast January. The jury which heard the case be- tore Supreme Court Justice Campbell consisted of seven women and five men. It was out 1 hour and 13 min- utes. On the final day of the trial Howard, calm and cool, took the witness stand in his own defense and stoutly denled he had been unduly friendly with the murdered man's wife, Mrs. Hilda Stites Moore, who was in the court- room yesterday for the first time since the trial began. Cross-examination by Prosecutor Tusco failed to shake him. CRUISER FOR BANCROFT.

The funeral ship will be under com- mand of Capt. Demitsu of the Jap- anese navy.

Schneidemuh! is the scene of a great encampment where the evicted Germans are living temporarily, and dispatches from that place describe their condition as pitiable. They have been coming across the frontier in droves for the last two days, as the time limit for their voluntary depar- ture expired at midnight. Rather than take the chance of forcible evic- tion, due today, the men and women loval to Germany, with their children and all the worldly possessions they could take With them, departed for the German side of the frontier. They now are crowded in barra and temporary shelters and the authori- ties are faced with the serious prob- lem of providing homes and employ- ment for them. Poland Explains Action. Poland explains that her decision to expel the Germans is based on an arbitration verdict of the Court of International Justice at The Hague Germany has declared that she did not believe the expulsion order would be carried out, but that if it was she would take measures to return to Po- land Poles who are on German ter- ritory. The people of Essen and other Westphalian towns are in a frenzy of joy over the departure of the allied troops who have been occupy- ing the region since early in 1923. These troops marched into the Ruhr for the purpose of bringing Germany to the realization that her repara- | tions payments would have to be met. The allies feel this has been accomplished under the terms of the Dawes reparation plan, and in com- pliance with the stipulations of the recent London agreement the occu- pled areas have been turned back to the Germans. Essen, one of t principal centers of the district, w completely cleared of French (roops yesterday. The radio fans in the region are especially pleased over the new privilege which is to be theirs of enjoving the radio. With the going of the foreign troops the ban on wire- less communication has been lifted and every family having sufficient means is planning to hove a wireless receiving outfit. German Reprisal Ready. BERLIN, August 1 (#).—Poles in Germany will not be evicted by the Reich government unless Poland forcibly ejects the Germans still re- maining in Poland. If Poland does this Germany is prepared to make im- mediate reprisals. The German foreign office seems confident the Germans expelled from Polish Upper Silesia and now herded at Schneidemuehl can be completely absorbed in Germany within a few weeks, SCOTT FIGHTS TESTS BY STATE ALIENISTS Attempts to Strike Dr. William Krohn, Who Testified for Leopold- Loeb Prosecution. i | By the Associated Press.
