DETAILS TO BE GIVEN IN SPEECHES TOMORROW General, Returning to London,! Voices Satisfaction With Conversation. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 17.— Ambassador Charles G. Dawes returned here today from Forres, Scotland, where he visited with Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon- ald and agreed on a basis for negotia- tions on naval disarmament. His train was an hour late, but he did not seem to mind; nor did he seem in the least tired after two nights on a train and the recent strenuous days he has experienced. He swung along the Euston platform in an easy stride, ‘with his hat stuck at a jaunty angle and pufing at his underslung pipe. He was asked whether he was hope; ful of results from his conversations with the prime minister and he an- | swered: “I have neither hope nor de- spair. All I will say is this: I am ex- tremely satisfied with my conversations with Mr. MacDonald. I have enjoyed myself. 1 found your premier a charm- ing companion and a brilliant man. The full results of our meeting cannot be made public as yet.” Rushed fo Train by Auto. The Ambassador's return to London was not without its excitement. After his conversations with Mr. MacDonald the British prime minister rushed him by automobile to Aviemore to catch a train for Perth, from where the express would leave for London. At Aviemore it was found the local train bad been delayed by an engine failure. After nearly an hour’s wai it was feared the London train might have departed from Perth without the Ambassador, but upon arrival it was found the railway officials had kept it waiting for him. It's =unny that such a thing should happen to me,” Gen. Dawes said, “‘for I'm an old railway. engineer myself. I do not know what happened to the train, but it was very good of the au- to keep the - walting New Movement Launched. A new | val disarmament was and MacDonald yesterday. Gen.

The for- mer Vice President will speak before; the Pilgrims at London and Mr. Mac- Donald before the town council at Los- siemouth, Scotland. : The prime minister, with his own hand, wrote out the summary of the conversation with the new Ambassador. 1t said: “We have had a conversation regard- ing the present position of the question of disarmament as between the United States and Great Britain. It has been informal and general and most satis- factory. “His excellency, Gen. Dawes, proposes | to refer to the subject at the Piigrints’ dinner on Tuesday night, and 1 shall do the same at Lossiemouth, and that is intended to be the beginning of the negotiations. We both wish to make it clear that other naval powefs are ex- pected to co-operate in these negotia- tions, upon the successful consumma- tion of which the fate of the world de- pends.” | No Mention of Invitation. As far as could be ascertained, no mentlon was made by either of what was believed to be a prime motive in Gen. Dawes’ hurried trip to Scotland to talk with the prime minister over the week-end—that is, the invitation to come to Washington to confer with President Hoover on the Anglo-Ameri- can situation. In London, while enthusiasm was ex- pressed that the two men have found their opinions so reconciliable, there was a certain measure of surprise, not without a tingle of disappointment, at the reference to other powers partak- ing in the negotiations for a naval agreement. It was thought the chances for reaching an agreement were much ater if the treaty were to be bi- ters]l rather than muitilateral. In some circles even there was distinct op- position to another naval conference. ‘The tendency, however, was to await the two speeches before upholding or attacking whatever program the two| men may have in mind. Prime Minister MacDonald met Gen. Mawes at the railroad station at Forres himselt after noon yesterday, his church services having been cut short so that be might leave for the meeting. After lunch in the oak-paneled din- room the conversation was contin- ued in the drawing room. Outside Gen. (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.) CLARK EXPECTS TO LEAVE FEDERAL POST THURSDAY Joseph P.

Even White House Clerks Mis-Spell, Nomination Shows By the Assoctated Press. ‘The White House came to the conclusion today that there was room for improvement in its spelling. When the nomination of Fred- eric A. Tilton as Third Assistant Postmaster General was sent to the Senate, a letter “k” was added to the first name. In that form the nomination was subsequently confirmed by the Senate. But, so far as the Gov- ernment in general and the Post Office Department in particular are concerned, there is no such person as Prederick A. Tilton. Consequently the whole proced- ure must be gone through again, and the White House today pre- pared a new nomination with the name correctly spelled for trans- mittal to the Senate. TKILLED AS PLANE Two Victims in Crash Off England Are Believed Americans. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 17.—Seven persons were killed, two of them believed to be Americans, in the crash of an Imperial Airways air liner today off Dungeness, England. Three of the victims were women; two bodies were recovered. Among the known dead was a Mrs. Icketson, a relative of Mr. and Mrs. Fleming, two of the survivors. The body of a man also was recov- ered and taken to Dungeness, where his identification had not been de- termined late today. There was a pos- sibility that it was the body of a Mr. Maester, thought to be an American business man. ‘Those missing and believed dead were Mr. Malcolm, Mr. Smith of 30 Craven Hill, Lancaster, Ontario; Mme. Bos- siger, Miss Roberts and Mrs. Karaki. Six Are Rescued. The following rescued were suffering from shock: Mr. and Mrs. Fleming, Miss M. Smith, Homer W. Tatham, Pilot Brailli and Mechanic Barnett, flight engineer. Mr. Tatham also was believed to be an American, but his address could not be learned, as he left the hospital after treatment. The plane the City of Ottawa left Croydon at 10:30 o'clock this morning and was well over the English Channel when trouble developed. Pilot Turns Back. ‘The pilot turned back and attempted to reach shore, but was forced to come down beside a trawler which rushed to his aid. The plane landed with a crash, however, and turned over, being partly submerged. An eye witness of thécrash said: “It was about. 15 minutes after 11 when 3 mfla out to sea that the plane began to «down in a fast glide. She struck the water with a terrific splash and then almost directly was seen to turn over; a trawler was only 100 yards away and immediately went to the g:nm'n help. Parts of the plane had to fihoppeé way to get the passengers out. Airways' Statement. The Imperial Alrways’ statement said: “The directors of the Imperial Air- ways announce with regret that the airliner which left Croydon at 10:30 a.m. today on the London-Zurich-Basle service sent out distress signals when 15 miles across the Channel. “The pilot turned back and when 3 miles from shore came down in the channel, The pilot reported by wire- less than he was landing alongside a trawler, which he did. “Further Marine assistance was dis- patched under standing emergency ar- rangements immediately upon receipt of the pilot’s distress signals. “The directors deeply regret that seven passenger’s lives were lost, four passengers and the pilot and mechanic were injured, but it is hoped not seriously. “The air ministry inspector of acci- dents will make the prescribed in- vestigation and until he has done s the company is unable to state precisely the cause either of the accident or the consequent loss of life. The liner has been salvaged and a thorough investi- gation can therefore be made.” Few Channel Accidents. ‘The number of accidents on the transchannel airplane service has been comparatively small, the various com- panies operating such service taking pride in the few accidents. The last serlous accident was in March, 1928, when the pilot and mechanic of a French plane were forced down by a heavy snow squall and lost their lives. In August, 1926, a French passenger plane met disaster near Folkestone and two passengers were Blaney of Mount Vernon street, Boston. In the previous year seven persons including five passengers were burned to death when a French passenger plane crashed near Penshurst, Kent. MRS.

Automobile city, the largest community anywhere on United States border lines and into which, flows a constant stream of liquor from a land where brewing and distilling is lawful, the Chief Executive plans to learn whether the eighteenth amendment as it stands can be enforced.

Some observers do not believe this new experiment will be permanently successful and that many other tests will have to be made. They admit, how- ever, that the motor city is a fitting selection for the present trial. Detroit has every element of the problem facing other cities and, because of its position on the Canadian border, in an aggrevated form. It is fourth in population among the urban centers of the United States, It is separated by a river 31 miles long and about three-quarters of a mile in width #from a country where the manu- facture, sale and consumption of liquor is entirely lawful. A speed boat takes you across in less than three minutes. the world’s greatest water highways. is bound by steel links to Canada— railroad tracks in a tunnel now—with a great international vehicular tunnel nearing completion— and by ferry lines. It is connected by railroad and motor highways with every part of that country. Great Detroit Distilleries. In addition to the enormous traffic in the smuggling of liquor from Canada with which the United States Govern- ment will first come to grips in its im- nding enforcement drive, Detroit has vast illicit breweries and distilleries, 15,000 to 25,000 blind pigs or speak- easles and thousands of citizens who make their own home-brew or synthetic liquor. The problem which must be solved includes those domestic breweries and distilleries as well as the swift fleets of rum runners' boats and the freight car loads of liquor disguised with forged seals. Detroit has a large alien population unfavorable to prohibition. It also has its gangs of racketeers, hi-jackers and 1t has had machine gun slay= ings. Of deep concern to the Government also, is the fact that bribery and cor- ruption of its trusted servants has been nowhere so widespread as in Detroit Finally the city is claimed by the “wets” as one of their own. This, then, it is pointed out, is an ideal spot for the great test. Battle Ground 100 Miles Long.

"The resolution contained a poem to which several ‘other Senators made ob- jection while it was being read and con¢luded with a clause declaring that “the President and Mrs, Hoover be re- quested to remember that the house in which they are temporarily residing is the ‘White House’ and that Virginia, Texas, Florida, Tennessee and North Carolina, contributed to their becoming its_custodians.” The reading of the resolution brought immediate and vigorous objection from Senators Edge, Republican, of New Jer- sey, and.

PARIS, * June 17.—Three French tzansatlantic birdmen;wete plupged to- day into a long programof yeceptions, dinners and- celebrations. ¥ Although Paris seemed blase to ocean flights there was no disposition anywhere to let the feat of Jean Assolant, Rene Le Feyre and Armeno Loiti pass without fecognition. - The grinning, garrulous stowaway of the Yellow Bird, Arthur-Schreiber, sure of a harvest of greenbacks for the story of his free stolen ride over. the ocean, gave his first thoughts of the day to getting spruced up for his stay in Paris, Long before the aviators had arisen a crowd gathered outside of their hotel. When they arrived at Le Bourget from Comillas, Spain, yesterday at 8:47 p.m. (2:47 pm. E. S. T.) not more than 5,000 people awaited them, the long waits of Priday and Saturday having militated against a greater number. Relatives hugged, and cheered them, while members of the crowd put them on their ;h?;.ldels and carried them from the e} Aero Club Reception. The first formal reception for the three aviators' was that of the Aero Club of France, set for this afternoon, with other: festivitles to follow, which probably will continue through several 8 i’t is_doubtful "whether the city of Paris or the government will give the fiyers an official reception.

Completion .of the ht begun last Thursday at Old Orchard, Me., occurred at dusk, when it was dainy and dismal. ‘The plane appeared over the field to the accompaniment of cheers. It cir- cled the famous airdrome once or twice and finally came down. The flight from Comillas was made with one stop, at Mimizan les Bains, near Bordeaux, France. This was made necessary by Assolant’s having thrown overboard the plane's old gasoline tanks as he con- cluded with them, his idea being to day with regard to. the negotiations. lifhun the plane and neutralize the ad- ditional weight of the stowaway.

Their EXPORT DEBENTURE PLAN INTRODUCED “AS TARIFF RIDER Bill Must Be Less Generc! in Scope Before Hoover Will Sign. AMENDMENT IS OFFERED IN SENATE BY NORRIS President Holds That Situation Does Not Warrant Wide Revision. Before President Hoover will affix his signature to a tariff bill, it must be | considerably less general in its scope than the bill passed by the House and which is now before the Senate, ‘The export debenture plan was intro- duced in the Senate today as an amendment to the bill by Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska. This move is in line with long-stand- ing plans of the debenture group to seek incorporation of the proposition in the tariff bill in the event it were eliminated from the farm measure as was the case. Wants Limited Changes. Because of certain domestic products and commodities which have been placed at a disadvantage as a result of economic changes since the Fordney- McCumber tariff bill went into effect seven years ago, the President believes a necessity has been created for some limited changes in the schedules other than agriculture. But he sees no oc- casion .at this time for a general re- vision or anything bordering on it. The situation according to him does not warrant that step and therefore he op- setting up a new basis of protec- ve duties except in a restri sense. In the President’s opinion the test of nccmlm revision is, in the main. ‘whethe: has be r en a substantial slackening of activity in an industry the past few years and a con- sequent decrease of employment due to insurmountable competition in the products of that industry. Views Given in Message. He set forth these views clearly in his message to the first session of the Seventy-first Congress, called him to consider farm relief and tariff revi- sion. He has reiterated this view to others with whom he has discussed the m‘l’t’ffi'"m Senators and ‘many m- ;.n hu‘fi:‘dm tarift m’bflfi it is | House re! known that-the President has expressed himself exactly as he did-in that mes- sage. Therefore, regardless of what some Senators and Representatives say regarding their talks with the President, the President stands by his views as set forth in that message. ; Jones Confers With Hoover. Although the President has not said so publicly it is generally understood that the Jones amendment,to the Borah resolution, which limits the tariff revi- sion to only agriculture, meets with the President’s approval. ‘The Jones amendment at least covers the idea expressed by the President in his message in that it modifies the Borah resolution by limiting revision to agriculture and only those industries which, during the past year, experienced depression and setbacks by reason of increasing importations. Senator Jones conferred with the President today. as did Representative Garner of Texas, Democratic leader in the House and ranking Democrat on the ways and means committee. The former said he did not discuss his tarift amendment with the President today, but said he had every reason to feel from previous talks he has had with the President that the latter approves of restrictions placed by his amendment to the Borah resolution. Representa- tive Garner declined to reveal the na- ture of his call. Borah Opens Debate. Debate on the resolution to lmit tariff revision to agricultural and re- lated products got under way in the Senate today with an opening state- ment by Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, author of the proposal that the House had exceeded the Republican platform promises in the bill it passed. “I look upon tariff revision,” Borah said, “as part of the program for farm relief which this special session was called to consider. “My only purpose in offering this resolution is to have an understanding whether we are to undertake a revision as part of that relief program or whether we are to undertake a general revision.” BANDIT SLAIN AS PLOT TO ROB CASHIER FAILS Attempt of Three to Seize $2,000 Pay Roll From Girl Is Foiled by Buffalo Police.
