4 (O0LDGE T0 STAR WORK N NESSACE Foreign Relations to Be Treated at Length—Build- k. ing Program Favored. — 2 BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Coolidge expects to start early next week upon the actual writ- ing of his annual message to be sub- mitted to Congress when it convenes mext month. He has been busy sev- veeks collecting data on subjects he purposes to discuss in this fmportant paper, and in conferring with congressional political leaders, but the actual composition of his mes- sage he has put off until he knew ex- actly what subjects will be treated by him and just how he would treat his discussion of them The President is understood to be aiming to cover a wide variety of sub Jects in his forthcoming paper. It is also known to be his intention to be more brief if possible in his treatment of his many topics, it being his opinion that his messages and some of his mors recent speeches, read tuer ever, have been a trifle too long. Foreign Relations Lead. While it ha ilways been the policy of President Coolldge not to discu: publicly what he propose discu! in messages he sends to Congress, as soclates of the President intimated to- day that the President will devote a little more space to the question of foreign relations than heretofore. It 18 known, however, that the President considers domestic problems of para- mount importance. At the same time he has lost none of his ardor for Amer- ican adherence to the World Court or for the calllng of another arms conference in Washington, and be cause of these interests, it is thought to be more than likely that the Presi dent will tr the foreign re“f.nlun subjects in his message in a liberal manner. Among the more important domes. problems to be in it is e »d, ave those regarding the c 3t 1l e, the fiscal condition of the coun- | | property | not responsible for a single person’s | injury consolidation of lways, im provement transportation facili ¥ migration, reorganization and ildings bill. The Pres}. dent b y d in the past upon enactment of legisiation that would authorize a $30,000,000 public build ing gram for the District of Co- lumbia to cover a period but he has intimated 1s {nclined to approve lic building bill if certain features so common in the past are eliminated. May Compromise on Buildings. During more than one o the past six months the Presldent expressed himself to the t th he doubts very much if the adminis. tration could obtain the enactment of @ public buildings bill exclusively for the District, and that the only way to obtain the neces buildings for the Capital would be » make provision for them in the general bill. Moreover. the President beleves that it is time for Congress to give gome attention to the matter of pro- viding better and more adequate housing for the Government activi tles throughout the country, especial- 1y so since there has been no public butldings bill for more than 10 vears The President also is expected to discuss at_some length the so-called Shipping Board controversy and to make recommendations looking to the improvement of administrative condl- tions in connection with the Shipping Board and_the Emergency Fleet Cor- poration. It is thought by some that the President will phrase these rec- ommendations in such a manner as to give the impression that it might be advisable if the Shipping Board were shorn of considerable of its present powers, if not abolished entirely. May Fmish Next Week. When the President once gets down to actually writing a message or speech, it does not take him long to complete the task In as much as he devotes unusual care and consjder- able time to its preliminary prepara- tion. 1t is thought, therefore, Mr. Cool- tdge will have completed his paper by the end of next week In the meantime, the President wnust prepare the address which he is scheduled to make at the annual banquet of the New York Chamber of Commerce in New York City No- ‘vember 19. VAST ANTI-FASCIST PLOT REPORTED TO EXTEND TO FRANCE (Continued from First Page.) vatch the parade, and insisted that it face the balcony from which Mus- solini usually reviews patriotic pro- cessions. Early Wednesday Zantbon! arrived at the hotel and was escorted to the reserved room. He was attired in the uniform of a major and wore his war decoration. He registered under the name of Salvestrini. Shortly afterward the police entered and took him Into custody. It is asserted that a rifie with a telescopic sight was found in his baggage. The exact connection of Gen. Capella with the case has not been made public, but it is asserted he was the chief conspirator. Addi- tional arrests are expected. Claim Plot Hatched in France. Excitement was still at a high pitch today as additional details of the widespread ramifications of the as- sassination plot came to light. Order, however, teigned throughout the en: tire countr: Messaggero, semi-official newspaper, prints a detailed report designed to rove that the plot was hatched in France by anti-Fascisti, assisted by friends of other than Itallan nation- allty. Indeed, says the Messaggero, sub- scriptions were raised and supported by the Left French newspapers for what called a “liberty loan,” the object being to rid Italy of Mussolini end Fascismo. The paper declares the Italian gov- srnment protested to France against permitting such journalistic support of what Italy looked upon as a sub- versive profect. Big Organization Alleged. According to the Messaggero's ac- count, there existed, first, an organ fzation of information bureaus in Paris for the dissemination of anti- Italian reports throughout France and elsewhere; second, an organiza- tion of military bands ready to at- fempt a coup at an opportune mo- ment, and third, an organization for gathering funds with which to carry out the plan against the Fascist re gime. Gen. Capello, the paper alleges, was the connecting link between these or- ganizations in Paris and the circles opposing the government in Ttaly. The rifle with which Zaniboni was armed when arrested was anjAustrian military weapon similar {to those which picked riflemen used for sharp- shooting during the World War. It was equipped with telescopic sights.

C, POLICE WILL PUSH DRY CRUSADE DESPITE DEEGAN CASE FLARE-UP Recommendation of Coroner’s Jury for Curb on Fly ing Squadron Will Net Stop Rigorous Enforce- ment of Law in City. (Continued from First Page.) The jury held Francis as well as the two policemen, and then the jury added o recommendation reflecting on the discretion of the members of the flying squad. The case goes now {nto the hands of the United States attorney’s office for further procedure. The United States attorney’s office has the responsibility of presenting it to the grand jury. It is held by those who have analvzed the opinion that the “‘proper author- itles" referred to by the coroner’s jury is open to construction by the United States attorney’s office. If it s con- strued that the “proper authorities” are at the courthouse, it is held that the door {s opened for a general in- vestigation Into prohibition enforce- ment in the District of Columbla. Public Interest Keen. Evidence of the widespread public interest being taken in the case was had at the morgue last night, when an overflow crowd three times as large as the coromers courtroom could ac- doors. The room was packed through- out the night session. The crowd did not dissolve after the jury retired for consideration of the evidence. More 100 persons were present after the jury had been closeted for more than hour and a half and they waited until the verdict was made public. Whatever public sentiment regard- ing police enforcement of the dry law here may be, the police are in a posi- tlon, it is cl ned by them, to en- tirely justify their methods of enforce- ment. Citing Capt. Burlingame’s activities alone, police point to statistics which are available to show that during the four months the flying squadron has been operating more than 430 arrests for violations of the Volstead act have been made; more than 200 automobil have been selzed: numerous chase have been engaged jn: more than threescore stills have been confliscated, and during the whole of these trans’ actions, it is claimed, the flving squad- ron has not been responsible for $30 damage to automobiles and Denies Recklessness. On the basis of the record made by the fiving squad since operations started, Commissloner Fenning said today T feel that the methods pursued have heen necessa®p to the enforce- ment of the prohibition law. I find no_recklessness in their activities.” There is another feature to consider in connection with this work by the flving squadron. Capt. Burlingame, squad, a former detect experience here, declar “The average bootlegger is viclous, with no respect or regard for the lives of policemen or civilians while en- gaged in haullng liquor into Wash- ington. A liquor car does not hesi- tate to ditch a police automobile and jeopardize the lives of the policemen at a favorable opportunity. The aver- age rum runner does not quibble about the use of his pistol, If he thinks he can get away with the shooting. These men are dangerous, and the police charged with pregent- ing violations by such men are neces. sarlly taking their lives in their hands virtually all the time. Furthermore, the point is made that a mere misdemeanor such as violation of the prohibition act in transporting liquor fs not sufficlent to justify the use of a revolver by a Policeman. Cites Police Position. “But what about the situation,” Maj. Hesse asks, “when the dividing line between a misdemeanor and a telony is transgressed” This happens when a pistol is wilfully drawn and fired at a pursuing officer. This hap- pens when an automobile wilfully is driven at the pursuers. Then it be- comes a matter of more than a mere misdemeanor. Police then have to meet this viclous force and overcome it—always mindful, however, of the responsibilities they shoulder concern- ing innocent bystanders—and if they chief of the , with wide Held in Shooting Upper, Francis Deegan; center, Po- liceman Robert Langdon, and lower, Policeman Henry Rinke. do not meet thelr duty.” On the whole, the police regard the case as follows ‘Washington is country which ha. on its statute books. be enforced. DEEGAN ARREST ASKED. it they are derelict in the Capital of a a prohibition law This law must Policeman Swears Out Warrant Charg- ing Youth With Resistance. As an aftermath of the Decgan case Policeman Henry Rinke appeared be- fore United States Commiss r- nage today and swore out a arrant for the arvest of Francis Deegan of 2312 Ontario road on a charge of forcibly assaulting, resisting and in- terfering with Federal Officers Rinke and Langdon during a lawful search of an automobile last Saturday night. ‘The warrant was handed to Deputy Marshal Clarkson for service. Rinke and Langdon had just been released on $2,000 bond pending ac tlon of the grand jury on the case growing out of the death of Charles C. Deegan Francis Deegan, brother of the deceased, had also been released on bond. The search referred to, it is under- stood, was that of the automobile of Charles C. Deegan prior to his death Saturday. The police had stated be- fore the coroner’s jury that Francis Deegan resisted them and assaulted them on that occasion. TWO AUTOISTS HELD FOR MANSLAUGHTER Jury Convicts Vernon §. Story and James 0’Connor in Death of Charles F. Jarvis. After deliberating four hours a jury in Criminal Division 2, before Jus- tice Stafford last night, convicted Vernon S. Story and James O'Con- nor, young white men, of man- slaughter In connection with the death of Charles F. Jarvis November 16, 1924. The indictment had charged first-degree murder and was the first in the local courts to claim the auto- mobile to be a deadly weapon. The prisoners were remanded for sentence. The verdict carries a maximum of 15 years’ imprisonment. The accused admitted they had been drinking and had picked up Jarvis, who also was_intoxicated, and had driven out to Keenes lane, in Northeast Washington. The Govern- ment claimed the accused robbed Jar- vis and then ran him down with the machine. O'Connor admitted he drove the car when, he claimed, Jarvis sud- denly staggered from the side of the road into the path of the machine and was struck and killed before the car could be stopped. Story denied robbing Jarvis and declared that as Jarvis stepped from the car he dropped his watch and Story picked it up. The prosecution was conducted by Assistant United States Attorneys O'Leary and Fihelly, while the ac- cused were represented by Attorneys James A. O'Shea, John I. Sacks, John H. Burnett, David L. Riordan, and Joseph Kell R O Man Found Dead of Gas. Roy M. Warren, colored, was as phyxiated by an open gas jet in his| room at 501 Rhode Island avenue last night. The body was found this morn- ing. Warren, whose home was in Wakefield, Va., had frequently been warned against blowing out the gas and leaving the jet open, police told. Coroner Nevitt gave a verdict of accidental death- the balcony of the Chigi Palace, wnere Premier Mussolini spoke. A score of alleged accomplices of Zaniboni, dressed in the black shirts which distinguished Fascisti, are re- ported to have been stationed outside the hotel with instructions to fire in the air and create general confusion in the crowd at the moment Mussolini ‘was to be struck down, thus aiding in the escape of the assassin. Prince di Scalea, minister of colo- nies, has ordered that all the Masonic lodges in the Italian colonies be occu- pied.

C. C. Control. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, November 6.—Motor bus operators s Congress is ex- pected to pass legislation placing bus regulation in the hands of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which regulates interstate railway lines. The bus people say that bus lines in operation prior to the passage of new legislation will have to be granted Federa] permits. This prac- tice. it is said, has been followed in similar instances. Efforts are being made, it is ad- mitted, to secure State permits before passage of any Federal legisation. At present interstate busline promoters can demand permits from varlous States under g recent United States Supreme Court deciston This decision, it is said, made it impossible for States to forbid or in- terfere with bus lines passing into other States and thereby engaging in interstate commerce. During the past few months ap- proximately 80 interstate permit have been issued by the Public Serv ice Commission, 70 of them for pa senger Surveys are now being made by several bus companies to determine whether additional lines between large cities in the East can be operated with profit. i ATTACK ON GIRL Cl;ARGED Marcus Costolow, 23, Arrested by Detectives. Marcus Francis Costolow years old, 1632 A street northeast, was ar- rested early this morning by Detec tives Howard Ogle and W. F. Burke of the fourth precinct on cmplaint of ta 16-yar-old girl, who alleges an attack in a room at a coal vard at 913 South Capitol street. Police say the prisoner said he had been drinking and that he was unable to recall what hap- pened while in the girl's company. In her statement to the police the girl told of a chance meeting with Costolow, an acquaintance, at Penn- sylvania avenue and Eighth street southeast, about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and declared he slapped her and apparently pinched her arm. She quickly became dazed, she ex- plained, and was forced into a taxicab and taken to the coal yard. DECLARED WILL FORGED. CHICAGO, November 6 (#).—Eight cousins of the late Edwin B.

PEKING, November § ().—Pros. pects of civil war directly affecting Peking were rovived yesterday ot changed } months. | it was reported on good authority that recent attempts to arrange co-opera- tion between the North China leaders, especlally Gen. Feng Yu-Hslang and Marshal Chang Tso-lin, to maintain peace have failed. Unusual activity in the rival camps has given rise to rumors of an im- pending coup by ore side or the other to gain control of the capital. However, Marshal Wu Pel-Fu, lead- er of the Yangtse alllance, appears to be having a hard time financing his venture, and he also is embarrassed by the fact that Gen. Yueh Wel-Chun, governor of Honnan Province, occu- pying a pivotal position, has not yet announced which side he favors. Gen. Hsiao Yao-Nan, governor of Hupeh, is likewise temporizing and adding to the uncertainty of Marshal Wu's position. Dispatches from Hankow say that the Wu Peil'u headquarters is be- sieged by office seekers, and that di- vided cliques are engaged in lively intrigues. Would Postpone Parley. HANKOW, China, November 6 (®). —Dr K. Wellington Koo, former foreign minister, who has arrived in Hankow to confer with Marshal Wu Pel-Fu, sald in an Interview yesterday that the Chlnese customs conference at Peking is being held at the worst possible time in view of the disrupted condition of the country.

The Capital Traction Co, wrote an- other letter to the commission today objecting to the suggestion that the New Jersey avenue.street cars be operated to Chevy Chase Circle in- stead of stopping at Van Ness street, near the Bureau of Standards. The company declares recent traffic counts show that service now being fur- nished to Chevy Chase Circle is more than required by the commission's standards. The company also urges the com- mission not to make any change at this time in the points for loading and unloading passengers at Fourteenth and U streets. The company says it realizes that the present arrangemeft makes it necessary for some gers to walk some distance in tra ferring, but that experience shown that the present method of stops at that intersection permits a more rapid handling of the many ¢ars which pass there in rush hours.
