Paris Pedestrians Subject to Traffic Rules, Court Holds By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 5.—Jaywalkers have lost their rights in Paris. The court has ruled that pe- destrians are subject to traffic rules like vehicles. " The case started when a man chose to disregard the pedestrian lanes across the busy Champs Elysees avenue, maintaing his right to cross at any point. The public prosecutor, on behalf of the police, argued that pedestriang are part of the traffic. The case went up through the lower courts, with the dectsion changlng back and forth for ac- quittal or conviction. But the highest court, the Court of Cassa- tion, has ruled against the pedes- trian and imposed a fine of 1 franc.

PAUL, March 6.—Prosident Coolldge s charged with “repviiating | the interests of the Northwest” in vetolng the McNary-Haugen farm re- lief bill in a resolution adopted by a group of Republican leaders from every congressional district in Minne- sota. In a secret organization meeting here Thursday night the group also launched a campeign for the nomina- tion of former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Ilinols as Republican candidate for President. Mr. Lowden was notl- fied by wire of the action. A State-wide executive committee was fogmed, with one member from each congressional district, with in- structions to begin work at once for perfection of county organizations that will urge everywhere in the State the nomination of Mr. Lowden. “It s our unanimous opinion,” read the resolution, after the veto of the farm relief bill had been denounced, “that the man who measures up to the qualifications required in this agricultural crisis (for Republican presidential nominee in 1928) is Frank 0. Lowden.” It set forth that “one of the para- mount issues of the next campaig must be ‘equally for agr After several changes in plans for organizing the new Public Utllities Commission, District officials today agaln tentatively set the time for this event at 1 o'clock Monday morn- ing. Both comedy and dismay have entered into the arrangements thus far, and District officlals are now hopeful that no further alterations will be necessary, because of the de- sire to get the new commission func- tloning as soon as possible. The original plan to induct the commissioners into office yesterday afternoon had to be postponed owing to the absence from the city of Col. Harrison Brand, jr., and the inability of Ralph B. Fleharty, the people’s counsel, to be present at the cere- monies at the designated time. Salaries Were in Doubt. Then the time was shifted until this morning, but these arrangements were also hastily called off, because the District Commissioners _erroncously thought that the appropriation for the salaries of the new utility comunission- ers was contained in the second de- felency appropriation bill, which Con- gross failed to pass in its closing hours. Arrangements were made subse- quently to have the new commission- ers meet Monday morning to decide whether they care to work without compensation until July 1, when the salary appropriation provided in the District appropriation act for the next fiscal year becomes available. = PHedges & Aiddleton- (Ine.)

ROME, March 5.—Every commer- cial or other non-military airplane in Italy is subject to immediate requisi- tion in case of national necessity or mobilization for war, under the terms of a decrne issued yesterday sponsored by Premier Mussolini. The government also is empowered to order manufacturers or possessors of airplanes to co-operate in the im- mediate on of their air- craft into military machines.

This committee is headed by W. M. Jeffers, general manager of the Union Pacific. Meanwhile, in a nearby hotel, L. E. Sheppard of Cleveland, president of the Order of Railway Conductors; W. N. Doak of Cleveland, acting president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train- men, and more than 100 delegates of their organizations from all parts of the West, were preparing their argu- ments in favor of their wage demand. Mr. Morrow will meet with them to- day. Following this preliminary meet- ing, he said, there will be a series of other conferences with both sides in an effort to arrive at an acceptable adjustment. The railroad managers have stated that the increase asked would involve nearly $13,000,000 a year. The brother- hood men have stated that this esti- mate 15 too high. plipg ity b HOUSE ROOF BURNS. Overheated Flue Blamed for Fire on Seventeenth Street. An overheated flue resulted in a fire which partially destroyed the roof of a frame dwelling at 3406 Seven- teenth street, owned by Mrs. B.

She promptly called the Fire Department, and the operator responded within a few minutes. The blaze was con- fined to the wood-shingled roof and the ceiling of the second floor.
