Cha:e, colored, who pre- viously had served part of a 20-year sentence for the murder of his wife in 1916, pleaded guilty to two charges of assault with a dangerous weapon arising out of .a quarrel with a second wife, whom he married after his parole from pgjson, and was sentenced. to go back to prison for six years, by Justice Frederick L.

BY REX COLLIER. President Hoover once said that Walter Folger Brown possessed “a greater knowledge of the Federal ma- chinery than any other man in -the United States.” To this compliment might be added the further fact that the new Post- master General also is the best cook, catboat racer and amatcur gardener in the cabinet. In the whirl of his public service as a Government reorganizer and mem- | ber of big and little cabinets, the pub- | lic has had meager opportunity to learn of the “other side,” of the human qual- ities of the Ohio lawyer and statesman. | Postmaster General Brown really is master of the culinary art. He is thor. oughly at home among pots and pans and knows his recipss like a book. President Hoover is said to be quite a hand at cooking such plain dishes as| ham and eggs, having demonstiated | his proficiency while “roughing it” on camping trips. but the Postmaster Gen- | eral goes in for fancy dishes, difficult: of pronunciation. More than that, Mr. Brown (he has instructed his employes not to call him “general,” long a cus-| tomary mode of address in the depart- | ment) is the author of a number OIi exclusive and original recipes. For .ex- ample, he has produced a delectable | Hungarian-like concoction called “chick- en paprikash,” which Is guaranteed to | satiate any appetite. | Addicted to Catboating. | Besides admitting smilingly his fond- ness for kitchen pursuits, Mr. Brown confessed with becoming modesty ‘his addiction to catboating. He failed to| add that he nearly captuved the Presi- lent Taft Cub in 1910 by winning one ace and coming in second in the two other dashes. For the Lenefit of those ‘ho may not know, a catboat is a small, trim sailboat Luilt for racing. “I still own one,” Mr. Brown told his interviewer. “She is 22 feet long and carries a crew of two, one to handle the rudder and the other to tend the canvas. I'm sorry that the Potomac River is too narrow and sheltered for catboat racing. I've thought about bringing my boat here, but I don’t know where I could sail it. Chesapeake Bay would be all right, but it takes two hours to get there. I have though! about using Gibson Island as a base; | but the distance is @ drawback. In| Toledo I had to drive only 15 minutes| to the river, and conditions were just | right there for eatboat sailing.” | At his home in Toledo the Postmaster General maintains a model vegetable garden. In it he grows all the usual common garden variety of vegetables and a number of rare plants not indige- nous to Ohio soil. Mr. Brown does not give one the im- pression of being a lover of recreation. | He is one of the most assiduous workers in the cabinet and frequently returns GRAPE PRODUCERS FGHT DRY MOV Steps to Regulate Industry| Will Encounter Opposition in California.

American Consul General Jenkins at Canton reported to the State Depart- ment today that he had received a telegram from Kanchow saying there had been Communist uprisings in many parts of Southern Kianosi. Beveral places have been burned and the foreign missionaries have been forc- ed to desert their missions and flee. The Chinese general in charge at Kan- chow, the consul general reported, has admitted his inabllity to protect life and property. As a result, Mr. Jenkins has asked the local military authorities at Canton to send assistance to the dis- turbed territory to insure the safety of Americans and their property.

His_disinclination to “hurry” callrs | out of his office plays havoc with his | schedule of visitors. Bslieving that a cabinet officer should be accessible to his | constituents at all times, he receives them all courteously and listens pati- | ently to what they have to say, while other appointments wait. “Some of these people come long dis- tances to sce me.” he explains. “I feel ulbngated to receive them and hear them," | T! ew Postmaster General has had | first-hand knowledge of postal problems.

Dr. Schacht feared, it was said, th: it his desire for such a conference be- came known it might be interpreted as an indication he was willing to back | offering only 1,400,000,000 marks annui- | ties as Germany's outside figure. It was learned from Paris that he brought with him the offer of the allied / nations representatives to accept 1,750,- 000,000 gold marks annuities, the annu- itles to have certain characteristics and to involve other conditions, neither | of which were made known. Outline of Situation. The informant of the Associated Press, who is close to the German gov- | ernment, outlined the present situation, saying: | “From the beginning of the Paris ne- | gotiations those on the inside knew that the difference between the allies’ an- nuities demands and the German maxi- 2,200,000,000 marks annuities and the Germans offered only 1,400,000,000. “When the allies mentioned 3,000~ 000,000 marks annuities, they bluffed. ‘When Dr. Schacht mentioned 800,000,000 marks annuities he bluffed. “Dr. Schacht personally is determined | not to above 1,400,000,000 marks | (about $336,000,000), as he feels this is the maximum that Germany eco- nomically will be able to raise. Find- ing him adamant, the allies apparently have now cut their figure 20 per cent, bringing it down to 1,750,000,000 marks (about, $420,000,000). “Another 20 per cent cut would bring the figure down to Germany’s level, but apparently the allies exrect man experts to raise their offer by just | 20 per cent as a compromise.” Schacht Is Supported. The informant continued: “Dr. Schacht, who has behind him the entire German delegation at Paris, might possibly be persuaded to agree to 1,750,000,000 marks for 35 years, but he certainly will be adamant in his un- willingness to bind Germany to such a figure for generations to come. “The Paris conference, therefore, seems to have reached an impasse.

The list of i&nown dead stood at 26, five bodies having been recovered early today. | The fact that some of the entombed i miners had erected canvas brattices in | the workings, in an effort to keep out the deadly gases, led rescuers to hope | that some of the men were alive. While pushing through the thirteenth embutt today, more than one and one-half | miles from the main slope, a rescue crew | came upon Lawrence Althouse, 29, who had been listed among the missing. | Althouse was wandering about the | dark underground tunnels when found. His buddy—the man who worked with him in the butt—Ilay nearby, dead. Hope Is Held for Others. | Althouse, married and the father of two children, was placed on a stretcher and carried up the slope. As he came into the daylight he opened his eyes wide and bout. He was rushed to the nearby emergency hospital, where doctors said his condition was fair. The rescue crews were fighting | against great odds in the dark pits. In addition to falls of rock and coal, they | were encountering much water. Ira | Thomas, deputy State secretary of min- ing, said that the rescue of Althouse | convinced him others might be found | alive, and he ordered fresh crews into the mine with orders to continue their | work until all the butts had been ex- | plored. A minute after entering the emer- gency hospital, Althouse asked a doctor for & cigarette. As he puffed away, he said, “Gee, but it's great to see a crowd of people again. I talked with God ail long, but it's nice to have some one else to talk to now.” Walter H.
