ACT AFTER DECLINATION OF RULING BY STIMSON Envoys Declare It Is Pleasure to Show Courtesy at Official Functions. ‘The diplomatic corps this afternoon settled the “social precedence” its “agreement” that Mrs, Edward Everett Gann, sister of Vice President Curtis, should be accorded the social status of “a wife of the Vice President of the United States.” ‘The announcement was made by Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassador, dean of the corps, following a meeting of the corps at the British embassy, called after Secretary of State Stimson had advised the diplomats late yesterday that they must decide Mrs. Gann's status for themselves. Secretary Stimson will be advised of the action of the envoys in a letter be- ing prepared by Sir Esme. Glad to Make Decision. “We have come to a general agree- ment, and it was reached easily,” the British Ambassador told members of the | press after the parley. “In view of tha fact that Secretary Stimson says there is no authority in America to decide the question of social precedence, and as we are desirous of showing every con- | troversy in the Capital by announcing ! | precedence, photographed at her home engaged in trimming shrubbery.

He said the envoys were happy to be in accord with the ! State Department on “this matter.” Status of Agreement. May Meeting. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 10.—Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the New York Life Insurance Co. announced today | that Calvin Coolidge will become a dl-| rector of the company, succeeding the | late Myron T. Herrick, Ambassador to France. Sir Esme added that the agreement would stand “until and unless we can obtain some definite ruling on the ques- ! tion from a constituted American au-| thority.” In other words, he pointed ! out, the understanding will be perma- | nent so long as no recognized American | suthority disputes it. 1 He stated that the diplomatic corps | “doez not aspire to become a social arbitenv.dgr, ington society in gen- eral, and that It2"action in the case of Mrs. Gann was for the guidance of the members of the corps alone. The agreement will become effective for the first time at the dinner to be given tomorrow evening at the Pan- American Building by the Chilean Am< bassador, Sir Esme said. Vice Presi- dent Curtis and Mrs. Gann_will be guests of honor. o Mrs. Gann Is Pléased. ‘When the news of the decision of the diplomatic corps -Wwas given to Mrs. Gann by The Star she expressed herself as being pleased, and especially as it would the better enable her to carry on | side by side with her brother while act- ing as his hostess, but she absolutely re- fused to be quoted. | Meanwhile, determined not to have ! another Gann case on his hands, Sec- | retary Stimson ruled today that in the ! future the protocol division of the State | Department shall supply information | only as to the dates of arrival here of foreign diplomats, which, of course, fixes the precedence, It had been an- nounced yesterday that this action would be taken by the State Depart- ment head. | The opinion of the diplomats is a complete victory for Vice President Curtis, who had protested to Secretary Stimson against the ruling of former Secretary Kellogg that Mrs. Gann shu&ld rank below the wives of diplo- mats, | Drafting Formal Letter, i Ambassador Howard held in his, hands after today's meeting a sheaf of typewritten papers, which, he said, composed 2 tentative draft of the letter to be sent to Secretary Stimson. He said there were numerous alterations to make in the text before it could be dis- patched. The meeting was attended by a ma- jority of the more than half a hundred foreign representatives in Washington. It consumed considerably more than an Lour. The conferees came out of the session talking spiritedly in a profu- sion of tongues. All seemed in high | good humor, however. Asked if the diplomats had given any thought to the appointment of a standing committee to handle such- ,)rob]ems as they may a in the uture, Ambassador Howard said-that “something of that sort” might be done later. ” Suggests Club Action. “It seems to me,” he added, with a laugh, “that it would be a splendid idea for your Gridiron Club to appoint a committee to decide the social prece- dence problem in Washington. I would like to suggest that you take the mat- ter up at your next meeting.” Secretary Stimson's letter on the precedence dispute, dictated after a visit | to the White House, advised the dean of | the corps that the question of social | in the company he will now help to di- |and as a young lawyer in_Massachu- | my | ple._Upon her return she declared that | Mr. Coolidge was nominated at a! meeting of the board today and will be | elected at the May meeting.

LOS ANGELES, April 10.—John Tipton, 32, special agent of the United | States Bureau of Internal Revenue, died | in a hospital here yesterday two hours after leaping from the -window of his fifth - floor - hotel room. During conscious moments before he died Tip- ton incoherently accused two men of being “after” him, and murmed that he jumped because they were “‘going. to get _me.” ) Two- fellow officers told police Tipon had. acted - irrationally during the past | evening at 8 o'clock, at 2525 Pennsyl- vania avenue, for the purpose of for- mulating definite resistence to the in- creases. Mr. Johnson declared in a statement today that “there is a definite threat of strikes in the air,” in connection with the wage increases which he said | five building trades to date had formal- | 1y laid before the members of the local exchange. | Iron workers engaged on the Internal | Revenue Building, being erected on the site south of the Post Office Building, recently obtained an increase in wages following what was described by the exchange as a “strike” and which union officials insisted was a “lockout.” Five New Demands. The exchange secretary declared to- | day that five other building trades, us- | ing this instance as a “wedge,” had made demands for increases, and that others were d similar demands. Those who, red, had made demands for increases were sald to be the tilesetters steamfitters, stone- masons, rubble stone workers and re- inforcing iron rod men. Union plumbers | also-are preparing to file a demand for | a wage increase, he declared. | Meanwhile, the exchange secretary | continued, the iron workers continued ' “on strike” on a number of building | operations here, though those engaged | on the Internal Revenue Building have | returned to work. These buildings, he asserted, include the iron workers on the new Government Printing Office be- ing erected on North Capitol street ad- joining the old printing office building, the ornamental and sash iron workers | on the new headquarters of the South ern Railway, Fifteenth and K streets, and on a number of smaller operations. | The basis of the plea for a congres- | sional investigation, it was understood, | would be that should any number of | the building trades win wage increases | it would jump the cost of the erection | of other Federal buildings, as well as those in the municipal building pro- gram, for which contracts as yet have not been awarded ot general con- | tractors. School Program Invoived. In addition to the Federal operations here and private building projects, wage increases would affect the build- ing program of the District, including the projected new school buildings and other municipal structures. Mr. Johnson said local contractors regarded the situation as “very serious” | because of the increased building costs | that would result should the wage in- | creases be granted. He declared further | that in consultations with union offi- | cials, no reasons were given for the de- manded increases. He pointed out further should the unions obtain the ases the ‘wage levels here would be 33 per nftl;t higher than the average in 109 cities. | NORTH ITALIAN CITIES HIT BY EARTHQUAKES By the Associated Press.

Secretary Stimson said foday the American reply to the Canadian gov- ernment’s memorandum on the sinking | of the rum-runing schooner I'm Alone | was- being prepared and that as soon as | it had been delivered to the Canadian | Minister, both notes would be made | public. { Mr. Stimson said the tone of the' Canadian note was most temperate and | conciliatory. Newspaper accounts giving the im- | pression that the note was truculent, he said, were in error and that the re- verse was the truth.

One of the poinis raised is understood to be based on the contention of the! schooner’s master, Capt. J. T.

On another point the Canadian gov- ernment is understood to take the posi- tion that, while the right of “hot pur-| suit” of a suspected vessel is recognized | by international law if begun within the 3-mile limit, the treaty does not sanc- :ilol: sugh pursuit if begun outside that mit. The third is understood to raise the question whether the right to attack and sink a vessel in the effort to en- force the right of search and selzure is sanctioned by the treaty, and whether such action, involving the possibility of loss of life and property, is justified in such cases. was | MISSING THREE MONTHS, GIRL, 17, IS LOCATED; | Daughter of Wealthy Bmokline,i | Mass., Family Is in Miami, Father Says.

Watches Kept at Fields. Throughout last night and this | morning watches were kept for the fiver at_San Antonio ville, Del Rio, Laredo, Eagle Pass, Midland and Col. Lindbergh spent the night in the interior of Mexico. The flyer declared it was of interest to himself and no one else where he spent the night, and explained he had no intention of flying beyond the border | of Mexico yesterday when he left Mexico City. | Friends of Lindbergh here said they | believed he might have stoped at a | ranch near Tampico. “I regret very much that the press | has seen fit by an unauthorized state- ment to cause unnecessary anxiety for my safety,” Lindbergh said. Air Fields Checked. Failure of Col. Lindbergh to reach the border last night caused the Mexican government to institute a check of air fields, and airmen on the American side of the line also became concerned over his whereabouts. Lights at Kelly Field, San Antonio, were kept on until late last night, and | | sending out searching planes, in the be- lief that Col. Lindbergh might have been forced down. The fiyer was well rested apparently, but was hungry and ate a hearty breakfast at the Brownsville Airport. He would not announce to what point. he would go from Brownsville, but was | expected to fly Eastward, to be at New York Saturday for the arrival of the body of Ambassador Herrick from France. Lindbergh took off Col. from the Brownsville Airport for an unannounced destination shortly after 11 o'clock. i It was noted his airplane carried camping equipment, giving strength to the belief that he may have halted alone far from a city last night. | Col. Lindbergh told airport lfl-lches1 he might tell them his next time through here where he had spent last night. He also dropped a hint that in a short time he might disappear for “two or three days, but that won't be a sign anything is wrong.” CRIME TABLES TURNED. Son of Officer Slain by Bandit Is Shot in Robbery Attempt. CHICAGO, April 10 (#).—The son of a slain police sergeant who was killed by bandit bullets 10 years ago today was in turn shot and probably fatally wounded by a deputy marshal during a robbery. Surprising the bandits in the act of robbing a truck driver, Deputy United States Marshal Palmer Larson shot Hugh Burns through the head and himself received a bullet in the hip. The wounded bandit was the son of the late Police Sergt. George Burns. The others participating in the rob- f 1 { lieved, would force the in the direction of Pulpito Pass. Little | co-operation with Escobar, in the event | Caraveo should eventually arrive in Sonora, was looked for. Attempted union of the forces of Escobar with those of Gen. Fausto Topete before Naco, and subsequent joining with the west coast army in Northern Sinaloa or Southern Sonora, was believed the rebel leaders’ plan.

It was announced Luis L. Leon, elect- ed provisional governor of the state to succeed Rebel Gov. Marcelo Caraveo, would take charge of the offices today. Leon, who was a former secretary of agriculture in the cabinet of President Calles, announced a program of im- mediate civil and social reform. includ- ing partition of the great haciendas among Agrarians.

JUAREZ, Chihuahua, Mexico, April 10 (#).—Rebel troops who invested this city after a sanguinary street battle a month ago, abandoned their prize last night in the face of advancing loyalists and steamed away westward, apparently intending to combine forces with the revolutionary army in Sonora. A train of 26 cars, commanded by Gen. Marcelo Caraveo and heavily laden with men, horse;f}nd equipment, left Juarez at 9:30 o'ck last night for an unannounced destination.
