KING GEORGE, SURE SHOT, | TAKES DIFFICULT BIRDS | moyal Bag of Grouse Is Better Than That of Most of Guests or Oldtime Sportsmen. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August. 29.— King George, who Is now taking his an- nual holiday in Scotland—the only real vacation from his job that he gets—has blossomed forth as one of the best s n his Kingdom. His bag of grouse, on’the great royal estates in the region of Balmoral Castle, has been better this Summer than those of most of his guests or of the old-time sportsmen who spend the year 'round in thag vicinity. Not only has the king acquired the reputation of being a sure shot, but his companions have noticed that he always takes the most difficult birds and rarely misses, and that he seldom wings his game, but usually registers a deadly hit. The King does not believe in the easy shooting in vogue in some dis- tricts, and the system used on his estates is calculated to give the birds |the best chance, with a correspond- ingly difficult chance for the man with the gun.

She' told police at the’ third precinct that two colored men met her at Twentieth and I streets, claim- ing to have found a pocketbook, in which there was apparently a large sum of money. They were so fixed, they .said, they could not walit and claim the reward, and they sold their interests in the reward to Minnie for $49, giving her the pocketbook, filled with a few dollars wrapped around paper, WEDS AN AMERICAN A RUM CASE NOURY WDENS State and Federal Officers May Probe Sheriff’s Al- leged Part in Trade. By the Associated Press. TAMPA, Fla., August State and Federal investigation of the charges that Sheriff Henry G. Chase and other law enforcement officers of Dade County had countenanced shady practices at the county jail at Miami may result from a visit of United States District Attorney W. M. Gober to Jacksonville, for which place he left today. Advices from Tallahassee say that State officials will join hands with the Federal authorities in conducting an investigation. Specific charges against Dade Coun- tq_sheriff’s officials are that certain prisoners have been allowed temporary freedom on certain occasions. The claim is made that practices of the prisoners—to accumulate and sell lig- uor during these periods of freedom- were ‘‘countenanced and sponsored” by Dade County authorities. Sheriff Henry Chase, Jailer Wilker and guards at the Miami jail are involved in the allegations. As soor as word of the accusations reached Mr. Gober he let it be known he had asked for an investigation by the Departrent of Justice. Results of the investigation, Mr. Gober said, have revealed that p ners of Sheriff Chase, including two Federal charges from Tampa, had been given frequent opportunities for bootlegging, when allowed temporary freedom. It 1s chiefly to obtain information as to the scope of the investigation that Mr. Gober has gone to Jackson- ville. He said today that at first the investigation was "against the Jjail guards alone, but further develop- ments led him to request the Jack- sonville’ Department of Justice offi- clals to include all officials responsible for the safe-keeping of prisoners. Since his last request the district at- torney says he has heard nothing from Jacksonville. NEW MOSQUE SHUNNED BY MOSLEMS IN BERLIN Was Built to Further British In- terests, Refuges in German Capital Declare. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 29.—Logal Mo- hammedan ‘efrcles are agitated over a new mosque which stands ready for dedication, but which will apparently have few ‘worshippers. Altogether there are said to be 1,500 Mohammedans of various nationalities in Berlin, which is a popular gather- ing place for Oriental students and all sorts of refugees and exiles from the various troubled nations of the Levant: and the Far East. During the war the German military authorities built 2 wooden mosque for Mohammedan war prisoners in a Ber- lin suburb, and this house of worship still is being used by the Moslem popu- lation. Prof. Sadr-nd-Din, who belongs to the sect of Ahmadijeh, caused a new, permanent mosque to be constructed near the center of the city. It is now reported that only four or five Mo- hammedans in the capital will have anything to do with this sect, which its opponents charge with acting in the interests of Great Britain. Plans are now under way to move the old wooden mosque in the center of the cit J. EDWARD LEWIS Announces Removal Of His Real Estate Office to 1302 L Street N.W. Main 551 {Formerly 912 15th St. N.W.)

FIVANGE I NEEDED FOR GRAI SURPLLS Russia Will Have 18,000,000 Tons More Than lts Populace Can Use. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. OSCOW, August 20 —Private cap- ital must be welcomed to afd in han- {dling the 18,000,000 tons of surplus | Russian grains this year, according to the Moscow Pravda, the newspaper organ of the Communist party. “After several conferences.” says Pray rding organization and the problems of att ting private capital to assist in handling the grain surplus, it is vealized that caution is needed, as private capital is very powerful in this fleld. If the co. operatives and state agencies could quickly absorb the surplus without demoralizing prices, private capital would be unnecessary. However, as this cannot be done in all regions, private capital is necessary. 73,800,000 Ton Crop. Soviet Russia’s grain crop is figured at 73,800,000 short tons, according to reports received from all parts of the country. The figures were made pub- lic, together with an analysis of the economic problem accompanying the record harvest by Leo Kamenev, vice chairman of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. B The present crop allows, 1,085 pounds per inhabitant, figuring the population at 136,000,000, as compared | with 720 pounds per inhabitant last | vear, when the harvest totaled slight- ly less than 49,000.000 tons. Should the finnl returns equal present figures the current harvest will set a new record for Russia, the best previo vear being 1911, with more than & 000,000 tons, or 9 pounds per capita for the then population of 180,000,000. Figures on the estimated surplus were obtained by deducting 11,700,000 tons needed to feed the population and 44,100,000 tons needed for stock feed- ing and seed, from the total. The es- timate includes all grains, from the oil-producing sunflower seed to wheat. M. Kamenev says 14 per cent of the peasants possess 61 per cent of the surplus grain. Thirty-one per cent have not enough for their own needs and must buy. He believes govern- ment agencles should regulate prices, Kkeeping them in line with prices in the world market. 14,000,000-Ton Reserve. the surplus the government expects to have reserve supply of 14,000,000 tons, compared with a re- serve of 6,000,000 tons last year and 000,000 tons the year lefore. Russia hit the high rark in world grain trade in 1913, when she export- ed 18,000.000 tons. The low mark was in . when sha exported less than 500,000 tons. She passed the three- million mark in 1923, but dropped to 1,250,000 tons last . which was tlrther reduced by 675,000 tons of m- ports. Fhe Ukraine and North Caucasus regions produced bumper crops this vear, the former around 27,000,000 tons and the latter 7,500,000 tons.

JAZZ' GRAND OPERA DELIGHTS ST. LOUIS “The Music Robbers’ " Orchestra- tion Proves Entirely Devoid of Saxophone Part Fr Special Dispatch to The Star. ST. LOUIS, August 29.—In the presence of 9,000 music enthusiasts crowded in the St. Louis Municipal Theater in Forest Park, under the glow of a three-quarter moon, the first grand opera in jazz measure had its world premiere last night. Music by an American composer, lyrics by an American newspaper writer, pre- stnted by an American manager and sung by a native cast, “The Music Robber” constitutes a remarkable ges- ture in the development of the wide- Iy advocated opera in the vernacular. " The surprise of the evening was not the generous use of syncopation in the interpretation in the musical theme, but rather the absence of peak instrumentation in the orchestra. The latter, drawn from the St. Louis Sym phony, was guiltless of xophone or any of the bizarre instrumentation popularly associated with jazz. The production was, save for a cer- tain lightness and swing in rhythm, so completely in accord with stan- dardized operatic treatment that those who came to beat time with their feet remained to cheer Isaac Vangrove, the composer, when he was forced to mount the stage to acknowledge the ovation that followed the close of the performance. Vangrove, former assistant conduc- tor of the Chicago Civic Opera, shared honors with Richard L. Stokes, music and dramatic editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, creator of the lyrics. Guy Golterman, the daring impres- sario brought the demonstration to a close by refusing to acknowledge the clamor. “The Music Robber” is in three acts, although only the first was sung last night.

D G, AUGUST 30, 1925—PART 1 ‘FLEXIBILITY’ TO BE BASIS OF DEBT ADJUSTMENT FRANCE WILL ASK Spokesman Says Various Factors Make it Impossible To Forecast What Country Will Eventually Be Able to Pay This Country. BY WILLIAM BIRD. By Radio to The Star. PARIS, August 29.—The buck has been passed to America. This is the only conclusion possible from the purely tentative action taken by Joseph Caillaux and Win- ston Churchill, finance ministers of France and Great Britain, in settling the Franco-British war debt. Neither government is bound by the figure on which the negotlators pro- visionally agreed, and no action toward ratification’ will be taken until after the French mission goes to Washington It, by pleading France's special po- sition, M. Caillaux can wrest conces- sions from the American Debt Com- mission, it is considered practically certain that the whole debt problem, 50 far as the chief countries are con. cerned, will be settled during the cur- rent year. Indications of the kind of settle- ment Franco will propose to Washing- ton were given the writer here today by a person who is well qualified to do so. “We quite understand that it fs useless to make our payments con- i on what we receive from Ger- he sald, “but at the same time, American spokesmen have re- peatedly sald that the United States would not ask its debtors to do the impossible. ~ Obviously France's fu. ture capacity to pay is not predictable today, depending as it does on numer- ous factors as yet unknown. “For instance, while it depends ob viously to some extent on what we re- celve from Germany, Russia, Italy and other forelgn debtors, it also de- pends on our trade balance. In nor- mal times France's export surpius is small, but who can tell whether nor- mal or abnormal times are coming? Our debts to America were contracted during the war when we needed American material and manufactures. It is conceivable that in the coming vears there will be other wars in which France will be neutral and France's factories will be called upon for artillery, airplanes, etc. In sich case our export balance would be large and we would have surplus funds for paying old debts. “This, of course, is pure supposi- tion as, needless to say, France is not counting upon anything of the kind. But it i8 & good example of the kind of thing that may happen and which obviously cannot be foreseen, yet which would change the whole face of the debt problem almost overnight. That {s why we must insist on the {m. possibility of determining today. once for all, what can be paid without ref. erence to what may unexpectedly hap- pen tomorrow. “A certain amount of flexibiiity seems desirable both from the French viewpoint and that of France's cred- itors.” (Copyright. 1025.)

Clementel in Pre- mier Herriot's cabinet; they trailed along, it is pointed out by a spokes man of the French treasury, without progress until early July, when French experts conferred in London with British experts. This conference, while it cleared the v for subsequent conversations, ar- ed at nothimg specific. The feeling was expressed in London that some- thing more definite ought to be done before the debt mission went to Wash- ington, and that it was har courteous to begin negotiations and show no further interest in continuing them. A measurably clear unde standing of the respective positions now has been attained, but there has been no exchange of signatures. The French attitude, the Associated Press correspondent is informed au- thoritatively, is to defer definite action until after the Washington settle- ment. ITALY EMPHASIZES PLEA Quotes Figures on National Wealth to Show Leniency Need. August 29 (®)—Premier 's own newspaper, Il Popolo Q'Italia, today published a leading ed!- torial pleading that Italy has reason to expect at least as good treatment in the settlement of her debt to the United States as was accorded Bel- glum The newspaper points out that, ac- cording to American calculations, the national wealth of Belgium increased from $5,000,000,000 in 1912 to $12,000,- 000,000 in 1922, whereas the national wealth of Italy increased from 22,000, 000,000 in 1912 to only $35,000,000,000 in 1922, or about 60 per cent, while Belgium's increase was more than double. In the same period, the news- paper says, France’s national wealth increased 50 per cent and that of the United States 75 per cent. The newspaper says Belgium owes ROME Mussolir to the United States about 4 per cent | of her national wealth, France less than 3 per cent and Italy more than 6 per cent. Moreover, it asserts, with her debts to the United States and Great Britain combined, Italy’s for- efgn debt amounts to between 13 and 14 per cent of her natfonal riches. It is reported in well informed cir- cles that Count Volpi, minister of finance, will g0 to Washington in Sep- tember to head the Italian debt fund- ing commission. SURVEY FUND ALLOTTED.
