The drive for the ratification of the treaty moved forward today, with a number of additional Senators arriving in Washington to take part in the Sen- ate session.

Even though the President now con- templates. resting and playing in the parks for about two weeks, it is under- stood that he will be from Wash- ington at least a mon The original tentative itinerary for the President’s Western trip called for a stop of several hours in Chicago and in St. Paul and Minneapolis. A stop in Madison, Wis., also was “included for the purpose of presenting an occasion for the conferring of degrees by the University of Wisconsin upon both the President and Mrs. Hoover. It is inferred from Mr. Akerson's statement that all thoughts on the part of friends of the President who origi- nally wanted him to make several speeches during his Western trip and ta meet a number of psople, have been abandoned inasmuch as the President has indicated clearly that it is his pur- pose to go away simply for the purpose of recreation and quiet rest. Between now and the time the Presi- dent will start on this curtailed Western vacation trip it is understood he and Mrs, Hoover will continue to spend their week ends at the fishing camp in the Virginia mountains. Will Address American Legion. Although Mr. Akerson made no ref- erence to it in his statement today, the assumption is that the President still has in mind the trip to the West Indies and probably to Mexico which he said several weeks ago he was contemplating for October. He has accepted an invi- tatin to deliver an address at the an- nual convention of the American Legion in Boston on October 3 and to attend some patriotic celebration in Gloucester, Mass., about the same time. Also, the President has accepted tentatively an invitation to participate in a celebra- tion of the anniversary of the Gadsden Purchase in Texas some time in the Fall, the date not yet having been fixed.

Pointing to Better Business “If you look through plain glasses you will see —that business as a whole is about 91% of normal. —that employment is about 95% of normal. —that retail sales are about 97% of last year. —that grocery sales are practically the same as last year, ~—that sregular interests and divi- dends are being paid practically as usual. —that the buying power of the average person is nearly the same as usual. —in short, that the 30,000,000 fami- lies go on working, earning, buying and spending almost as much as last year, which was an abnormally high yet nd —that the 2,250,000 business estab- lishments go on operating, buying and selling much as heretofore.” ‘These striking statistics were used in newspaper advertising this week by the Associated Gas & Electric System of New York. The adver- tisement wound up with this op- timistic thought: “The upturn in the present tem- porary ‘offness’ will come when con- sumption has caught up with the 1929 overproduction. Just when that will be no one knows. It will prob- ably be soon, if the time is not al- ready here. (Local Display) Lines. THESHAr, <« o0 037,204 PARIS-ROME CRISIS TEMPORARILY PAST IN'NAVAL HOLIDAY Briand’s European Union Idea to Have Better Re- ception at Geneva. REAL DISPUTES REMAIN FOR FINAL DISPOSITION Loans Desired by Italy and Other Nations Believed Figuring in Diplomacy. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1930, PARIS, France, July 15—The crisis in Franco-Italian relations, which began during the London Naval Conference and for the last two months has se- riously alarmed even some of the coolest heads in Europe, seems now temporarily suspended. Statesmen in all countries of Europe are breathing easier again and the Geneva debatés next September on the momentous question of a European union can apparently be held in a rela- tively calm atmosphere. Premier Mussolini’s Tuscany speeches caused France to break off negotiations with Italy. Nevertheless, as announced thete conversations were presently cau- tiously resumed and have led to the adoption of & formula for a five months’ “naval holiday.” What Agreement Means. ‘This does not mean that either France or Italy will cease building ships, It simply means that Italy’s new pro- gram for 40,000 tons, voted immediately after the London Conference, will not be started before the end of the year and that France meanwhile will prob- ably refrain from voting its 54,000-ton reply to Italy, which is stil being studied. ‘Work will continue in both countries on all ships now on the stocks, and ex- perts say that it would have been diffi- cult for either country actually to do more than this in the next five months in_any circumstances. . Furthermore, there agg #t1ll, of course, no signs of a real Franco-Italian agree- ment. All the outstanding issues remain exactly as beéfore. They must now be taken up one by one. It is foreseen that-a long period of secret talks on these issues will now begin! Doubts are expressed whether a full settlement can be reached, even in the best stances, by December-1. Frontier Wark ‘Continues. Simultaneously With the negotiations, the French on the one hand will con- tinue their fortification of the frontiers including the Island of Corsica and the North African Coast, as well as the re- organization of the army and, on the other hand, will seemingly renew their efforts for an understanding with Ger- many, for clarificatio nof Great Brit- ain's position respecting the covenant of the League of Nations and for the ultimate formation of a United States of_Europe. : Diplomatic episodes have crowded thick and fast during the crisis. Italy sought and was refused German sup- port. France opened conversation with Germany- regarding possible revision of Germany’s easteyn frontiers in return for the continuation of the Franco- German rapprochement and German Bul%p%l‘t for the European union idea, whicll has been further strengthened by the new American tariff and by the British plans for an empire tariff union. Italy’s apparent efforts to dissociate the little entente and isolate France on the one hand and Jugoslavia on the other resulted in the strengthening of the little entente at its recent meeting and in the tightening of the bonds which unite the little entente nations with Prance, These nations, with France’s help, now in turn are working to secure better understandings first with Austria and second with Italy's ally, Hungary. ‘The French are talking loans, on cer- tain conditions, to Hungary and Austria, " (Continued on Column 7.

Adkins in Criminal Division. 1 on a charge of transportation and possession of liquor. ‘He was released under $2,000 bail. He faces a possible sentence of five years in the penitentiary and a fine of $10,000 under the Jones-Stalker law. Cassidy was arrested in front of the Senate Office Building October 31, (last, and a pint bottle of colored al- cohol taken from his hip pocket by Sergts. George M. Little and Leo Mur- | rary of the liquor squad. Other intoxicants were found in his automobile. After Justice Adkins had overruled a motion of the defense to instruct the jury to acquit Cassidy ,no testimony was offered by his counsel. The law- yers relied on the strength of their contention that the search and seizure of Cassidy had been made in the ab- sence of “probable cause” and are ex- pected to take the case to the Court of Appeals. They argued that the prosecution had not proved the charge of transporting. Cassidy twice has been arrested in the vicinity of the Senate and House Office Buildings on ligyer charges. Police Officers Testify. Sergt. Little and Sergt. Murray testi- fied that they had been watching the home of Cassidy and had noticed his au- tomobile parked in the rear of the prem- ises. They had left for about five min- utes and on their return noticed that Cassidy’s car had departed. The officers hastened to the Senate Office Building, where they said Cassidy was just park- ing his car at the curb.

Assistant United States Attorney Neil Burkinshaw is conducting the prosecution. Justice Gordon ‘in holding legal the seizure by Little at the same time sus- tained a motion of Cassidy and his father-in-law, John T. Gately, to sup- press the evidence seized on the occa- sion of a later visit by Cassidy to the Senate Office Building, February 2 last. At that time the arrest and seiz- ure were made by a “special agent” of the Treasury Department, and Justice Gordon held that officer lacked au- thority. DAVIS STAY_S.

Teased About Another Man. Mrs. Mills told police yesterday that she ran to the room and that when she tried to enter Golden turned the pistol upon her before shooting himsel$ in the head. Golden, a World War veteran, was a department store employe. He had be- come infatuated with the Raff girl, whom he had known since she was & very young child, it is stated. He is sald to have become enraged at her when she teased him about “another man” she is supposed to have met on a trip to Annapolis. He became fur- ther enraged when Mary, who had been staying at the B street address, began packing her things, saying she was going home. She was nearly prepared to leave, it is said, when Golden shot her. Coroner J.

Golden, ap- parently expected to derive the money from the Government through veterans’ insurance and compensation. In the will Golden designated $1,000 to be left to the girl, Mary Raff, and left $2.000 to the wounded sister, Mrs. Lula Mills. He left approximately $8,000 additional to other relatives. In the notes, Golden declared love for the girl and asked in one note that he be buried in the same grave with her. One note apparently was addressed to his sister, Mrs. Mills.
