By the Associated Press PARIS, July 2 The new Poincare government today obtained the largest vote of confidence on its ministerial | declaration received by any French eabinet since the parliamentary elec- tions of May, 1924. The government was upheld 358 to 131 on the premier's demand, follow- Ing the reading of the declaration that all interpellations be postponed until after the discussion and passage of his financial blil.

The Chamber was only quieted when the deputies of the Right and Center threatened to expel the manifestants bodily, and Presi- dent of the Chamber Peret declared he would suspend the sitting if or- der was not restored. After the vote on postponing the interpellations, Premier Poincare in- troduced his financial bill, which was referred to the finance committee, the premier asking more urgent con- sideration of the report. His demand for extraordinary precedure on the bill was put to a vote, requiring the approval of two-thirds of the Chamber. Wing Second Vietory. The Chamber gave M. Poincare his ®econd victory by voting the urgency of the financial bill, 518 to 31. The declaration began with the firmation that the ministry had been formed in a spirit af “nationanl reconciliation,” with the object of saving the franc. “We are profoundly convinced that it is possible to improve the con- ditions of French finances rapidly, and raise the value of the national currency,” the declaration said, “In order to avert forever fresh dangers of inflation. we propose ‘to vote the indispensable supplementary receipts and make important econ- omies.” Indirect taxation is to be increased, the declaration said, but at the same time direct taxation will be imposed upon acquired wealth to form a re- ayment fund for the national de- ense bonds.

In its first reference to the interallied debts, the declaration said: “The nations which are our credi- ters, and whom France has the firm will to pay within every measure of her ecapacity. have as great an inter- est as ourselves that we should, before everything, put an end to the mone tary crisis. This crisis is due to mul- tiple causes, but 1t is in no way im- possible to calm its violence and an- nihilate its dangerous effects.” In conclusion the declaration said: “France has known graver and more painful hours than the present.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News, PARIS, July 27.—The Poincare gov- ernment received a vote of confidence by a larage majority when it presented {tself - before the French parliament late today. There is apparently general ap- proval of “the plan to inorease taxes by five or six billion francs, corre- sponding roughly to a readjustment of the recent inflation. More radical measures than this, however, will , have to be taken, it is predicted, if the franc is to be kept from a new decline. Despite the government’s opposi- tion, organizationy of government em- ployes intend to hold a big manifes- tation for salary increases from the Chamber of Deputies this evening. Clashes with the police are possible. There still is no apparent possibility of ratifying the. Washington debt agreement in its present form. Politi- cal and popular hostility to Senator | Berenger for having negotlated the agreement is so strong that he will not return to Washington as Ambas- sador. Candidates for the vacant am- bassadorship include Franklin Bouil- lon and MM. Peretti and Della Rocca. The last two are permanent officials + of the ministry of foreign affairs.

By Radlo to The Star and Chicago Daily News. ROME, July 27.—When Secretary Mellon arrives in Rome he will find an interesting welcome. In the first place, the correspond- ent learns officlally, Finance Minis- ter Volpl will request a meeting with him for the purpose of discussing strictly limited “efforts to stabilize the | lira.” 7 Naturally in view of the repeated declarations of Mr. Mellon that he is here only on vacation to see his daughter, Mrs. Bruce, it is not known | whether he will accept Signor_Volpt's | Invitation, But it is generally thought that Mr. Mellon cannot avold at least a courtesy call on the Italian finance minister, who was his officlal guest | last Spring in the United States. In the same way, it is considered that any conversation beginning with the question of stabllization of the lira must lead inevitably to larger dis- cussions of international finance and American participation in a Europe- Wide economic reform.

At least, no such storm of protest has arisen here as the Rother- mere-Beaverbrook campalgn in' Eng- land or the recent march of wounded French soldlers in Paris. The Italians know full well that they got off pretty easy. Névertheless, a distinct undercurrent of protest against the existing debt agreement may be felt in many divislons of the Ttallan press, especlally the extreme wing of fascists, who would be per- fectly willing to take part in any Eu- ropean campalgn for general inter- allled debt cancellation, provided some other country makes the first official move.

Another substantial reduction in electric current rates next Winter was forecast today by Maj. W. E. R. Covell, Assistant District Engineer Commissioner, assigned to public utilitles. “As a result of the tremendous growth in the consumption of electric energy in Washington, stimulated by a 25 per cent reduction January 1, 1925, and a 6 per cent reduction January 1, 1926,” sald Maj. Covell, “the outlook appears very favorable or a further reduction next Winter, approximately equal to that made last January." The amount available for reduc- tion, according to the profit-sharing plan in force, Maj. Covell explained, is somewhat greater for the first six months of this year than it was for the corresponding period last year, in spite of the fact that allowance has been made for the $40,000 reduction | per year just made in the charges for street lighting. If the same ratio { holds good for the remaining six months, he pointed out, the reductton this vear may slightly exceed that of last year. 30 Per Cent Increase. The increase in the consumption of electrical energy is shown by the number of kilowatt hours sold to con- sumers. This amounted to 133,000,000 in 1923, 147,000,000 in 1924, and 173,- 000,000 in 1925—a 30 per cent increase in two years. Judging from the first four months of the year, Maj. Covell expects the 1926 consumption to ex- ceed 200,000,000 kilowatt hours, or more than a 50 per cent increase over 1928, The electrical department of the District Government under Warren B. Hadley also has felt the effect of the reduced charges for electricity through a material increase in permits for wiring houses—an increase which has been so large as to seriously han- dicap this department because the number of inspectors has not been proportionately increased. The num- ber of permits issued for electrical wiring over a period of flve years were as follows: Fiscal year enling June 30, 1921— 1922— 1928— 6,217, Fiscal year ending June 380, 8,029. Fiscal year ending June 30, 9,791, Fiscal year ending June 30, 9,495, Fiscal year ending June 30, 13,109, Record Expected This Year. The number of permits {ssued dur- ing the flscal year just ended is not available, but is expected to reach 16,000, . “Another indirect effect of the profit-sharing _plan which started January 1, 1925, sald Maj. Covell, “has been the reduced cost per Kkilo- watt hour of generating and dis- tributing the energy. Since 1923 the cost of generation has dropped .2 of &' cent per kilowatt hour, not much per unit, but more than a third of a million dollars total. The electricity unaccounted for, such as transmis- sion losses, ete., has dropped from 23.1 per cent in 1923 to 18.8 per cent for the first four months of 1926— all of which is reflected in decreased costs and lower charges to the public. “With continual fncrease in elec- trical consumption, Washington In December, 1928—or less than two and one-half years from the present date—should reach a household rate of 6 cents for lighting and 3 cents for heating and power—a rate which would be one of the cheapest on the Atlantic seaboard ——e Louis XI Tomb Robbed.

PRESIDENT BLAMES TOURISTS' ATTITUDE FORFIGHTS ABROAD |Undiplomatic Remarks May Have Caused Trouble, Executive Believes. PLEADS FOR TOLERANCE ON PART OF FOREIGNERS Thinks Occurrences Can Be Avoid- ed by Better Understanding by All Nations Concerned. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staff Correspondent of The Star WHITE PINE CAMP, July President Coolidge attributes the fre- quency of anti-American demonstra- tions in France and other countries to irresponsible people of those coun- tries and to irresponsible Americans traveling abroad. Although he regrets that anything of the kind has occurred, it was made plain today he does not view these demonstrations with any amount of alarm. The President feels that the people in those countries, where anti-Amer- ican attitudes have been demonstrat- ed, do not speak for the masses of their country nor do they reflect the sentiments of thelr respective gov- ernments. While giving an outline of his idea of the trouble the Presi- dnt was represented as saying that he thought many of the American tourists were just as much to blame, and he hoped that the people of those countries in which this Il feeling has been manifested will be as generous in judging the American tourists as he has those of the foreign countri o ! who have been making such firre- | sponsible utterances and displays. Doubts Accuracy of Acounts. In his outline the President made it clear that there is no occasion, as he views it, to pay too much atten- tion to the newspaper accounts of these demonstrations abroad. He has read some of the reports and he is unable to determine just how trust- worthy the accounts are. At any rate, he does not propose to become excited and he hopes the American people will follow his example. p Continuing his outline, the Pres- ident's spokesman pointed out that there are two types of American tourists abroad. One type is represented by those of a bumptious nature, likely to be critical and arrogant. He is of the kopinion that if this type of tourist ! obtains some t education and finds out that there are other people in the world entitied to re- spect and consideration other than Americans, something might be ac- complished. This sort of enlighten- ment will do that type of American no harm, the President believes. into the distribution pipes at any time, but that naturally it would take a | number of hours to get the pressure | back to normal, as a result of the| water lost at the break during the | night. i The commission’s engineer pointed | out that the District Fire Department | would co-operate by sending engines | to fires just across the line in Nary- ( land. He said that if a fire should occur today the engines would be able to get some water from the hydrants, except at very high places, where the pressure has not yet begun to climb back to the normal level. Bucket Brighde Lines Up. Meanwhile, residents who were within reasonable distance of existing wells emulated their ancestors and Journeyed forth with buckets. R. B. Morse, chief engineer of the commission, explained that the break occurred on an unfrequented stretch of Jones Mill road which ex- tends westward from North Chevy Chase towards Wisconsin avenue. The loss of water at the break did not register Iimmediately on the gauges at the Burnt Mills pumping station, Mr. Morse said, because the standpipes of Alta Vista and Chevy Chase were full at the time and the opening in the 10-inch main caused the supply to drain out of the stand- pipes. Mr. Morse emphasized that it was only a local break and that there s no trouble at the pumping sta- tlon. The Chevy Chase Club was only partly affected, since it maintains an auxiliary supply of its own. The club uses the suburban commission water for its boilers and for that reason was without hot water this morning. ————— MATHIEU RESIGNS Pi)ST 58 FOREIGN MINISTER Former Chilean Envoy to U. 8.

This is 40 times’ greater than the personal ailowance made by Bulgaria to King Boris, and about 5 times in excess of the yearly income of King Ferdinand of Rumania.

President Feels Responsible. Holding the office he does, the Presi- dent cannot help but feel his responsi- bility in this unfortunate situation. He is not only responsible for the safety of his people while in foreign countries but he is responsible for maintaining friendly relations be- tween the United States and forelgn nations. According to his outline of the situation, he considers it essential that the people back in America and those in foreign countries be gener- ous in their judgment of one another. One of the main points involved is the necessity to understand that those Americans who make critical and in- sulting utterances abroad are not expressing the sentiment of the Amer- jcans back home. He can easily see how this type of American can stir up animosities and provoke demon- strations such as have been reported. When anything of the kind happens the President hopes always that the people abroad will understand the situ- ation and will not take what these irresponsible Americans say as re- flecting the public opinion of the United States. . The President was represented in this connection as saying that it is a poor rule that does not work both ways. Therefore this rule should be applied to the people of all the coun- tries involved.
