HINDENBURS QUITS NATIONALIST PARTY Signing of Young Debt Plan Brings President Under Fire. BY DR. GUSTAV STOLPER. Special Radio Dispatch to The Star. 'am.m. March 15.—Germany has passed through an eventful week. The Reichstag has accepted the Young plan and President von Hindenburg signed 1t the following day, although an effort ‘was made at the eleventh hour to keep him from doing this. President von Hindenburg explained | his reasons for signing the reparations settlement in & solemn proclamation, which will be of great importance to Germany's political development, since by his approval of the Young plan he dissociated himself from the ranks of the Nationalists, who elected him. | In his proclamation he declared that | he regarded the Young plan as an im- provement over the Dawes plan and as marking both a political and economic step forward on Germany's road to free- dom and reconstruction. ‘The President gives “all German men and women earnest warning to realize their duty to the fatherland and the nation’s future and finally to overcome all dissensions and disagreements and join hands.” Newspapers Go Into Mourning. ‘That faction of the German na- tlonalists which rejected the Hinden- burg leadership some months ago has | replied to the proclamation with a tele- gram of thanks. But pan-German newspapers printed their issues report- | ing the signing of the Young plan with | black mourning borders. ‘The Reichstag adopted the Young plan without enthusiasm and the final | vote found the deputies in a state of fatigue. Chancellor Mueller again re- capitulated all the arguments for the plan. His speech was polemical through- out and mainly directed against Dr. | Hjalmar Schacht, but without mention- | ing his name, It is now known that Dr. Schacht based his resignation as Reichsbank president wholly on arguments directed against the second Hague reparations conference decisions. In a long talk with the Reich presi- dent, Dr. Schacht repeated all his mis- givings, but President Von Hindenburg remained firm. Dr. Schacht himself probably was surprised by the rapidity with which his successor, Dr. Hans Luther, was chosen. On the day fol- lowing his resignation, it was known that former Chancellor Luther would be elected head of the Reichsbank and PROUD OF Of 214 A street southeast with cocoanut in this city, being 8 feet tall.

Dr. Schacht will leave office on April 3. Dr. Luther’s election has been well received generally. His choice is due, above all, to the desire to make the election symbolic for the world. Dr. Luther Aided Stabilization. ‘The stabilization of the mark in the Fall of 1923 is connected with Dr. Luther’s as well as with Dr. Schacht's name. - Dr. Luther was then minister of finance, He is the man whose name stands at the foot of the most im- portant historical documents of Ger- many during the post war period. He stabilized the currency. He was in|Terecita Ferguson and Commonhwi London in the Spring of 1024 in order to put the Dawes plan into effect through the London protocol, and he was chancellor when the Locarno pact was signed in 1925. Dr. Luther was overthrown in 1926 as a result of the order that diplomatic Reich's flag. Since then the Repub- lican parties have regarded him with suspicion. But he has been long con- sidered as a coming man. Politically, he is probably the most active and energetic man in Germany. In the last few years he become especially well known as the leader of a movement for the reform of the Reich's structure. It is doubtful whether as president of the Reichsbank he will observe neutrality in political matters, which was vainly demanded of his predecessor. Devoted to Politics. Dr. Luther is perhaps more adaptable and elastic than Dr. Schacht, but also more leml!ely devoted to politics. ‘The direction of the Reichbank will be in good hands, but the question is whether he will not in the near future prefer to leave it for a political post, either as chancellor or minister of ance, (Copyright, 1930.) CHURCH DECLARED UNFAIR TO WOMEN Woman's Missionary Council Re- port Urges Right to Fill Pulpits. By the Associated Press. AMARILLO, Tex., March 15.—The last stronghold of injustice to women is in the church, Miss Daisy Davies of Atlanta, Ga., declared today in her re- port as a member of the commission on woman's service before the Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Following closely upon a resolution to petition the General Methodist Con- ference for legislation allowing women the right to occupy pulpits, passed by the council in executive session, the commission report aroused great interest among the 1,500 delegates. The commission has been working three years on the report, which showed the total number of women holding salaried positions in the church was 1,835, and the largest single employer of women was the foreign department of board missions. Only eight women held salaried positions requiring a high degree of educational and administra- tive ability. | Mrs. J. clare dthat long ages of being a home maker and meeting difficulties had made of a woman the pioneer inventor, but that she had not had the opportunity to develop her abllity. Conclusions ¢ that the trend of the times seems o be away from the idea of separate organizations for men and women: that unless larger outlets were provided in the church for woman's' energy, she would turn it into other channcls, as has been shown in the great numbers of women entering industry, com- munity and civic - enterprises, to the neglect of church duties. —i JOINS RESERVE SYSTEM.

By the Associated Press. TAOS, N. M, March 15.—Terecita PFerguson and her common law husband, Carmel Duran, were bound over to the District Court tonight on charges of committing a series of robberies, in- | cluding the looting of the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Younghunter, New York artists, after a preliminary hear- ing. - J. H. Crist, attorney, attempted to show several of the articles Mr. and Mrs. Younghunter identified as stolen from their studio home were the p- erty of A. R, Manby, 69, who was mnd dead in his home here last July. The head had been severed. Miss Ferguson was released on $1800 b'nd and ?fi“{&;‘ sought to make his bond of During his lifetime Manby was close- ly associated with Miss Ferguson whom he called “the Princess Terecita.” Crist presented photographs of Man- by reading in his home in an attempt to show many of the furnishings identi- fled as the Younghunters' property were Manby’s. He said that when the Younghunter robbery case reaches the District Court in June Manby's in- ventories detailing descriptions of his property may be introduced to sub- stantiate a claim that many of the articles claimed by the New Yorkers be- longed to the recluse. On Manby's death these articles became the prop- erty of the Colonial Bond & Security Co., of which Terecita Ferguson is president. Duran and Miss Ferguson were also charged today with the rob- bery of the home of Miss Felix Archu- leta, in Tacs.

Special Dispatch to The Star. LYNCHBURG, Va., March 15.—Defi- nitely assured that the Smith-Farmer murder trial will be held in the Corpo- ration Court after 18 months’ delay, counsel for the State is engaged in getting its evidence together in the hope of securing a trial at the April term of that court. By causing a section of the State prohibition law to be declared void, the Court of Appeals Thursday cleared the way for the trial. When Farmer and Smith were called for trial 18 months ago a motion for change of venue was denled, whereupon the upper court was asked for a mandamus to re- quire the court here to grant a change of venue. Now the Appelate Court has held the law unconstitutional because of a class legislation. V. O. Smith and W. A. Farmer, State Erohlbmon officers, are charged with illing Joseph A. Cox, an ‘alleged boot- legger, in August, 1928. Thirteen State witnesses were before the grand jury at the September, 1928, term of that court when the indictment was returned. The law held unconstitutional was a special section ‘which was designed to give prohibition officers a right to change of venue without giving the court liberty in the question. Cox was shot in a pursuit through the city from an- adjoining county, being dead In his automohile when the car ran into a wall on Buena Vista street. He was transporting liquor when be was killed, the officers charged. ESCOBAR LIEUTENANT | TAKEN AT NASHVILLE Accused of Conspiring to Violate Ban on Export of War Material to Mexico. By the Associated Press. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 15. Capt. Robert H. Polk, former com- mander of air forces of the Escobar Mexican revolution, was arrested by Federal authorities here today on a charge of conspiring with Jose Esco- bar and others to violate the proclama- tion of the President of the United States prohibiting the exportation of munitions of war into Mexico. The complaint in the warrant stated that Polk and others conspired to pur- chase an airplane in the United States for shipment into Mexico to ald Esco- bar in his revolution. Polk was arrested last April, im- mediately after he and a comrade had left the rebel forces and crossed the river to Nogales, Ariz, District Attor- ney A. V. McClane said. He was held there for a short time on a charge of violating the neutrality act, but later was released on his own recognizance, McClane said. He is under indictment at El Paso on the conspiracy charge. He said that at the time the airplane in question was supposed to have bee: purchased in Arizona and flown to Mexico he was in Juarez and he could have had no hand in the purchase or the flight. He said he entered Mexico March 6, 1929, and did not return to the United States until April 290 “after the revolution ended.” Explained Here. The arrest of Capt. Robert H. Polk at Nashville, Tenn.. was said at the Department of Justice to be a sequel to the return of a series of indictments brought in by a Federal grand jury nearly two weeks ago at El Paso, Tex. ‘The charges formulated by the grand jury accused a number of Americans and others of aiding the revolutionists in the last important Mexican outbreak which occurred a year ago. President Hoover closed the border against the supply of munitions to the revolting elements in the Mexican army and their assoclates and any purveying of such materials to the forces in the field against the Mexican Government became a crime under the standing neutrality statutes.

CHICAGO POLICE FORCE TO REDUCE—AT WAIST Dietician Prescribes Food for Over- sized Walkers of Beats in ‘Windy City. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 15.—Chicago'’s po- lice force is too large and must be re- duced. That is the edict of the de- partment’s dietician to keep last year's Sam Brown belts in commission, and not to a cessation of crime. The po- liceman’s callory allowance has been cut from 3,500 to 1,750 a day. The police dietician, nemesis of over- expansion in the patrolman's girth, prescribed a graduated diet for his wards today. The diet is for a selected group of healthy but oversized Chicago beat walkers. “In certain instances such a diet might prove harmful,” the dietician ex- plained. “Furthermore, it is not a ‘10- day diet' or a reduction fad.” Ten daily diets are given as samples of com- binations of food that will keep the policeman slimmer than all the exer- cise he takes in chasing racketeers or other criminals.
