At 8 cabinet meeting this morning it was decided to reject the decisions taken by the finance and foreign affairs com- mittees of the Chamber of Deputies telative to the form of ratification of the Mellon-Berenger debt funding accord, and to substitute the government’s own program providing for complete sepa- ration of any reservations from the in- strument of ratification proper. In a crisp communique the cabinet made it clear that it would bring the fight to the floor of the chamber at the earliest possible moment, perhaps on Friday of next week and would stand or 1all on the ratification issue. Postpones Discussion. This decision implies postponement of discussion of the question of evacuation of the Rhineland until after the debt accord is ratified, which is in direct op- ition to the stand taken recently by th the Socialists and the Radical Socialists, who have called for simulta- neous discussion of the debt accords, the Young plan and the evacuation. The government’s decision is espe- clally_significant because it indicates that Premier Poincare and Foreign Min- ister Briand are in complete accord on the question at issue. The Left parties had been looking to M. Briand as the man fitted for the premiership of & new {1 government. unoev. within a few hours, they have been robbed of their prospective chief, perhaps the only man who might have formed & Left government of any sta- bility. Additional importance is attached to today's developments by the fact that Andre Maginot, minister for the colo- nies and representative of the Right parties in tfl: government, is shown to be in full accord with the premier and the foreign minister as to the course to be pursued. Cabinet Encouragement. 3 The government was encouraged.to take its step in part because the de- eisions of both the finance and the foreign affairs committees of the cham- ber for the inclusion of reservations in the same clause with the authoriza- tion for ratification were by majorities of one only in each case, With seve abstentions. The government was further en- couraged by the failure yesterday of the move in the chamber to cause its overthrow. Premier Poincare and his aldes are understood to have taken the view that various factions in the cham- ber have been permitted to sway the course of events long enough and that it is high time for the government to force the issue’and either take full control or fall in trying to do so. Should M. Poincare not be able to| secure ratification by the method he still prefers—by decree—he will insist | upon two bills, ene authorizing the president of the republic to ratify the debt accord snd the other containing the reservations. Under this plan the law carrying a reservation to the effect that_the payments to America be drawn from payments made to Germany to France would remain an internal mat- ter, and would not be sent to Wash- ington. Souree of Trouble. The Socialists and Radical Socialists, as indicated by the votes in the cham- ber committees of which they held control, insist that this reservation. or one in even stronger terms, should be included with the authotization for ratification. Such a course, it is point- ed out, would be certain to cause trouble when the Mellon-Berenger ac- cord was brought up for ratification in the United States Senate. The government's decision has cleared the atmosphere. Its move has drawn the line sharply between those groups luded in the government, and those Radical Socialists ‘The debate on foreign policy in gen- eral, along with the ratifications debate, which was proj by those Left rties, would seriously embarass emier Poincare and his aides, and the proposal was made with that end in view. The opposition groups state that they are ready to ratify, but have brought forward conditions of & type which the government was not able to accept. (Copyright, 1929.)

Lieut. Edward S. Mulheron, whose home is near Fairfax Court House, Va., was in charge of the plane, which reached the children after they had begome thoroughly frightened and nearly exhausted from clinging to the upturned boat. ‘The seaplane happened to be pass- ing overhead at the critical momen: when the father of young Owen was stopped in his effort to reach the chil- dren in another boat by the breaking of a tiller rope, ‘Young Owen is spending.ihe Summer with his parents at 8t. Michaels. The other children, whose ages range from 14 to 16 years, live at St. Michaels. Z‘hey are Louise Burns, 16; Sarah dams, 16; Dorothy Taylor, 15, and Warthman Dodson, Stiff Breeze Upsets Boat. ‘The children had been cruising about the river during the afternoon. Sud- denly a stiff breeze sprung up, and be- fore they knew what had happened the children found themselves floundering in the salt water with the sallboat on its side. Forturately they all could swim and managed to reach the side of the boat. Mr. Owen was working on lno'.her‘\ boat at the wharf of a yacht club at| | St. Michaels, about 2 miles from the | scene of the accident. Learning of the | ‘Dlight of the children from another | | man, who had seen the sailboat upset | in the high wind, Mr. Owen started to | the rescue with all possible speed. Be- fore he could reach the overturned sailboat, however, the tiller rope of his craft broke and he became temperarily helpless to aid the children. | It looked for a few moments as if | all or some of the children might be drowned; for they were having diffi- culty in holding onto the boat and some of them were ming panicky. Brings Plane to Rescue. Overhead Lieut. Mulheron in the Navy seaplane had witnessed the acci- dent. He “immediately brought the plane down to the surface of the river and taxied to the side of the upset So frightened were the children by this time that Lieut. Mulheron and his crew had great difficulty in getting them to release their hold on the overturned boat so that they might be lifted into the plane. Finally they were all safely placed in the plane’s cockpit and Lieut. Mulheron gave the signal for the plane to fly to St. Michaels. With eight men already aboard when the flying boat left the Naval Academy earlier in the day, the additional load prevented the craft from leaving the | ‘water. The overweighted machine | then taxied for more than a mile to- | ward port. Taken Aboard Yacht. It was met by the yacht Rosebud, under the command of Capt. Nichols Hardcastle, former commodore of the Miles River Yacht Club. He approach- ed the loaded plane cautiously, took the children aboard the yacht and carried them to shore. The fiying boat, slowly turned about, plowed a furrow in the water of the harbor, mounted into the air and in a short time had disappeared over the horizon. The seaplane which effected the spectacular rescue is attached to the United States Naval Academy at An- napolis and was being used in con- nection with the Summer aviation course for second class midshipmen. ‘With Lieut. Mulheron in the plane were four midshipmen and three members of the crew, who assisted in pulling the children from the water. The crew consisted of Assistant Pilot John J. O'Brien of San Diego, Calif., and two mechanics, John M. Robinec of Rochester, N. Y., and Floyd D. Bern. hardt of Salisbury, N. C., and four mid- shipmen of the second class. ‘The midshipmen were E. J. O'Neill of Annapolis; J. H. Motes, South Carolina; Stanley Mumford, New Jersey, and R. E. Parker, Pennsylvania. They had sailed from the academy to give the midshipmen lessons in navigation. At the time of the accident they happened to be flying in a position which would give the pilot a full view of the section of the river where the sailing scow was. Pilot Saw Boat Flounder.

STRIKERS PROMISE VIOLENCE IS OVER Calm Follows 36-Hour Strife as New Orleans Car Line Asks Writ. By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, La, July 6.—Pro- tection of a Federal injunction against further riots by street car strikers and their sympathizers was sought today by counsel for New Orleans Public Service, Inc. Claiming the interest of bondholders was in jeopardy because of the recent mob sabotage, the petitioners urged the injunction to restrain officials and em- ployes of the carmen’s union from ad- ditional acts of violence against the company's property. Judge Wayne G. Borah of Federal District Court ordered the union officials to file an answer on July 9. Meantime the city commission coun- cil and representatives of the union and company sought to settle the grievances around the conference board. Strikers Take Rest. Apparently worn down by the 36 hours of strest strife, the strikers Tested today after daybreak and except for the complete cessation of street-car service the city assumed simost fiormal life. The lull today was in sharp contrast to yesterday wnen Canal street, the tamous business thoroughfare, bowed before the mob rule, while policemen and firemen stood by helplessly.. Five charred street cars, a partly burned bridge, blocked car bandaged heaas, and two funerals of strik- ers gave mute testimony of ‘wrath of the strikers and s As an offshoot of car strike, a small crowd of men visited the foundry of Diebert, Bancroft & Ross, where & strike has been on for two months, and laid down a barrage of brickbats. They were dispersed by a police riot squad before any damege was done beyond broken window panes. Serlous Outbreaks Over, Strike leaders claim there will be no more serious outbreaks unless another attempt is made to operate street cars by strikebreakers, or unless more car- goes of outside workers are brought in. A trainload of non-union carmen were parked outside of New Orleans today | after mobs of strikers and fallowers pre- vented their detraining here last night. Others were reported on the way from the East and the strikers openly admit | they are prepared to welcome them with brickbats if they come in. Company officials declined to dis- close their plans, but their hands were tied today by the order of the city com- mission council to postpone further op- erations of street cars that provoked the rday. Heavy polge guards continued on duty at the car barns, where small groups of professional strikebreakers were quartered in temporary dormi- tories. Union pickets were stationed outside, but the crowds had thinned out.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 6.—The worst part 6f the whole fligh was the big storm Thursday night and next to that was the fact that we didn’t seem to be able to alternate on sleep. We both got sleepy at the same time, invariably, and it was tough for one of us to keep awake, and when we slept, we sure did sleep. Newcomb—Night before last Mitch woke me up—How he did it, I don’t know, but he finally did—and he said, “Newk, for God’s sake come up here and fly. I went to sleep and lost 500 feet just like that and if we lose another 500 we’ll be on the ground.” | Mitchell—Yes, if we'd baen able to alternate on sleep, it wouldn't have been so bad, and the lack of water was another thing.

These include 2 library, a nature study room {and two gymnasiums, one for boys and | the other for girls. The new Reno and Kingsman Junior High Schools will cost $500.000 each.
