KLEIN TO STUDY TRADE EFFECT OF ANTI-U. S. MOOD IN EUROPE Present 'Volume Ledding Last Year, Commerce Figures Show. Director of Bureau Plans Survey of Future Results of War Issues. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Recent_outbursts of anti-American- ism in Burope over our war debt policy have caused some concern in ngton with regard to their pos- sible effect on the country's foreign trade. To survey the situation on the spot, Dr. Julius Klein, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic »mmerce in Secretary Hoover's De- partment of Commerce, Is sailing to- morrow for the Old World. The specific object of his journey is to confer with the department’s 25 commercial attaches in the leading trade centers of the continent. They will be in position to give him up-to- date information as to what extent, £ charges of American “Shy- * have impaired our export Any disadvantageous reac- tion would not have manifested itself as yet.

Berry Threatens to Ask for Injunction Unless Taken Along. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, August 31.—Capt. Rene Fonck, French ace, today faced the possibility that a non-stop trans- atlantic flight for which he had been preparing might end in court instead of Paris because of dissensions over personnel. Capt. Homer M. Berry, U. S. A, a 10 per cent stockholder in the back- ing corporation, threatens to ask an injunction to prevent the flight un- less he is taken along. Capt. Fonck has termed Capt. Ber- ry an outsider, saying that if a third person were taken he would be a radio operator or mechanic. Lieut. Allan P. Snoddy, U. 8. A., has second place on the ship. (ol. Harold E. Hartney, vice presi- dent of the Argonauts, Inc., the sup- porting company, has declared in fa- vor of Capt. Berry in the controversy. He has revealed terms of the con- tract with Capt. Fonck, which says that if the French ace, employed at $250 a week, should decide upon a third man, Capt. Berry should be chosen. The contract provides that the flight shall take place this Summer and Col. Hartney expects it will end Septem- ber 25, but Capt. Berry holds that the contract expired yesterday, four months from the day Capt. Fonck landed. Col. Hartney also contends that Capt. Fonck has failed to live up to his contract in that he did not provide three motors free of charge. Capt. Berry has been asked to state his case in writing to the other flight promoters. Capt. Fonck believes Capt. Berry will not be able to prevent the flight by litigation. WOMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO STATUTORY CHARGE Mrs. Eleanor Kuehn Fined $10 in Police Court—W. M. Baggott Denies Guilt in Case. Mts. Eleanor Kuchn, 29, who arrested yesterday morning at a down- town florist’s shop, in company with ‘Willlam M.

Pola, Meanwhile, Is Planning to Accompany Body Back to Hollyweod. By the Associated Pres: NEW YORK, August 31.—Plans to ship the body of Rudolph Valentino to Hollywood were assuming concrete form here today, although decision rests with the screen sheik’s brother, Alberto Guglielmi, who arrives from Europe tomorrow on the liner Homeric. S. George Ullman, Valentino's manager, said that a special car al- ready had been engaged for the trip. He and Mrs. Ullman and Pola Negri, the Polish actress, who announced her engagement to the “great lover” of the films, and who came here from Los Angeles to attend the funeral services yesterday, will, accompany the body. Last Thoughts of Pola. Valentino's last thoughts were of Miss Negri, she revealed last night, quoting a letter from a doctor who attended her fiance. “I am asking Miss Pickford, an old friend and patient of mine, to deliver this message to you,” said a letter from Dr. Harold D. Meeker, which Miss Negri showed. bout 4 o'clock Monday morning Mr. Valentino opened his eyes, stretched out his hands and said, ‘I'm afraid we won't go fishing together. Perhaps we will meet again. Who knows?" “His mind was very clear and this was the first time he seemed to realize he would not get well. Then he said: ‘Pola—if_she does not come in time, tell her I think of her.”” Miss Negri Breaks Down. Miss Negri broke down after showing the letter and was taken to her hotel bedroom by a trained nurse who is attending her. “This was his last message to me,” she sobbeds A number of film stars were among the weeping women who attended the funeral services at St. Malachy's Church yesterday. Mary Pickford, wearing a black hat and black trimmed clothing sobbed as she fol- lowed the coffin from the chapel of the church. Jean Acker, Valentino’s first wife, and Pola Negri, who was to have become his third in the Spring, were present, as were Norma and Constance Talmadge, Gloria Swanson and Marilyn Miller.

TERN.UNION “TIME™ GUIDE TO QUIT BUSINESS TONIGHT klin 7112" No Longer to Serve Wash~ i\ngt-on Householders Whose Watches and Clocks “Go Wrong.“ Franklin 7112 will go out of busi- ness tonight. For months it has been one of the buslest telephones in Washington— one of the rare establishments where something isgiven for nothing. It has been the time service number of the Western Union Telegraph Co. Washington clocks and watches have a notorlous habit of stopping in the middle of the night or losing 10 or 15 minutes in each 12 hours. Hitherto this has been of little real concern, because all the householder had to do was to call Franklin 7112 and a sweet feminine voice would answer: “The time is 7:15.” For years this service had been given by the Western Unlon for the convenience of the public. Formerly it was the practice merely to call “Western Union.” Special Wire Necessary. Nearly two years ago the calls be- came so heavy that it was necessary to set aside a special wire for this purpose. But the calls have grown far beyond the capacity of Franklin 7112, There is now an average of 9,500 calls a day. The number is growing at the rate of about 100 a day. Either the clocks are growing more unreliable or more people are neglecting to wind their watches when they go to bed. : Sometimes it has been necessary to keep four or five operators on duty for the sole purpose of answer- ing time calls. The regular business of the company has been neglected to serve the public in this particular. C. H. Dexter, traffic manager for the Washington branch of the com- pany, explained that discontinuance of the time service, to become effec- tive at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, was ordered after a Nation-wide sur- vey of all Western Union Telegraph offices. The time service has grown considerably in the past six months, he sald, declaring he was sorry it must be discontinued because of its convenience and the mnear approach of the opening of the school term. Relief Is Volunteered. Relief for timeless residents of Whshington is promised, however, from the Naval Observatory and the Weather Bureau, both of which will give the correct time when called on the telephone. The Naval Observa- tory explained this service will be continued if the burden does not be- come_ onerous. Although supposed to become effec- tive on September 1, which starts at midnight tonight, the discontinuing order will actually not be in full forc until 7 a.m. tomorrow, Mr. Dexter ¢ plained. It will affect all of the 26 000 Western Union offices throughout So if Washington's timeless residents wish to pass the time of day they must call elsewhere than the Western Union. The tele- phone company discontinued its time serve many years ago. Film World Stops For 2 Minutes in Honor of Valentino By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., August 31, —Cameras ceased grinding and kleig lights were dimmed on every motion picture lot here for two minutes vesterday while members of the film colony, from director to property man, stood with bowed heads in silent tribute to the mem- ory of Rudolph Valentino. The ceremonies, timed to coincide with the actor’s funeral services in ew York, were conducted simul- aneously in a dozen studios. Flags were lowered to half-mast and taps were sounded. —_— “BLACK EYE” GWE“ TRAFFIC POLICE BY FEW, SAYS REPORT (Continued from First Pa dangering passenger cars occupied by women and children. “The police let their only chance of identifying hit-and-run drivers es- cape by permitting thousands of cars to operate with tags which cannot be read. In many cases even the name of the State is covered un, cr the lights are so placed as not to illuminate the tag. “The District of Columbia dumping ground for stolen cars : will be until we can secure a title similar to Maryland, Virginia and other States. i “We believe the rule in regard to passing street cars on wide streets should be changed to permit passing if a distance of more than 15 feet from the side of the car can be maintained. “Many persons are arrested and taken to court for collisions at street intersections, when the real cause of the collisions is the non-enforcement of the rule requiring all vehicles to park not less than 20 feet away from the intersecting curb line. In the opin- ion of the committee this distance should be not less than 30 feet from the intersecting curb line to give a sufficient view. “While this committee believes in the issuance of special permits for un- loading space to large business hou with large transportation needs, we objects seriously to the limiting of parking space by reserving too much space in one block or for one small business. On Thirteenth street three spaces, totaling 54 feet of reserved space out of a total of 90 feet. been reserved for three adjoining firms (one building not cccupied) where one space could serve all, and on the op- posite corner 30 feet is reserved daily for one truck to back in three or four time: At another place 90 feet is re- served On H street a space is re- served, where very rarely any load- ing is done. The customers of these tores must park in front of some other store entrance. In some places the location of stanchions is painted on the pavement, in others the flrm plac stanchions wherever it wishes. “Little used extra entrances to some clubs and public buildings are re- served, and in some cases the entire front of a small business is reserved for loading and unloading where the space is not fixed. Cearly all space around the Dis- trict Building is reserved for semi- official cars, and almost one-half of the south side of D street hetween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets is reserved for one garage and the House of Detention.” Urges More Control Lights. The committee praises the installa- tion of control lights and urges fur- ther use of them; suggests that head- light testing stations be established at each precinct, and the establish- ment of K street as an arterial high- way. It is urged that the police be in- structors of drivers, and the report tates “that police by their arbitrary, dictatorial manner have caused the public to expect at least a verbal fight whenever a policeman approaches. “The Traffic Director should pro- mulgate only sensible and sane regu- lations, and one policd official should be held personally respounsible for their reasonable, sensible, sane and courteous enforcement. “The following streets should be widened to help the traffic situation: Thirteenth street, I to K street - teenth street, from New York avenuc north to K street; Twelfth street.
