Grace as presi- dent of the Bethlehem Steel Corpora- tion was expected to become an issue today in the hearing on the injunction suit filed by minority Yonngstown Sheet & Tube stockholders who seek to block the merger of the two steel companies. | Grace, who was scheduled to testify | PUPHIC auction, today, is said by the anti-merger forces to have received $1,600,000 annually from Bethlehem. The opposition group, led by Cyrus 8. Eaton, Cleveland finan- cier, has charged that huge salaries paid Bethlehem officials were concealed from Sheet & Tube shareholders when they were asked to ratify the merger. Declined to Tell Salary. Grace, in a deposition in New York, declined to reveal his salary, but said he would do so on the witness stand if so directed by the court. The Bethlehem president was called as the fourtt “hostile” witness ex- amined by attorneys for the plaintiffs —the Eaton-controlled ~International Shares Corporation and Hugh C. Wick, jr., of Youngstown, a Sheet & Tube stockholder. He followed Elton Hoyt, 2d, of Cleve- | land, a partner in Pickands, Mather & Co., Who yesterday testified that he plunged into the proxy war preceding the stockholders’ approval of the merger because he thought his concern had been ‘“unfairly attacked and brought tnto this thing in an entirely uncalled- for way.” Bought Tube Stock. He corroborated the previous testi- mony of Henry Dalton, another Pick- ands-Mather Dpartner, that the ore firm had spent $9,000,000 for 60,000 shares of Sheet & Tube stock, and borrowed $800,000 from Bethlehem for & few days. ‘The anti-merger forces have charged that Bethlehem money was used in the roxy war through Pickands-Mather. oyt insisted that Pickands-Mather entered the fight solely to protect its own interests.

Special Dispatch to The Star. i PARIS.—At one period of his long life the late Georges Clemenceau was much interested in Chinese philosophy and Chinese art. The philosophy in- duced him to write a play known as “Le Volle du Bonheur” (The Veil of Happiness), which was produced also as an opera, while the art attracted his fancy to such an extent that he gath- ered together a coilection of 3,000 statuettes, vases and other objects. During the life of “the Tiger” the collection was exhibited in the D'En- nery Museum of Far Eastern Art in the Avenue Foch in Paris. As he failed to mention the collection in his will, the heirs have ordered it to be removed from the museum and to be sold at (Capyright, 1930.) BRITISH AT 0DDS ON INDIAN PARLEY Inclination of Government to| Ignore Simon Report Is Suspected. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 15.—There were signs today that a parliamentary storm is brewing around arrangements for the round table conference on Indian af- fairs in London in October. Many members of the House of Com- mons during the past few days have professed uneasiness as to the govern- ment's attitude toward the report of ths commission of Sir John Simon, suspecting & ninclination on the part of the government to ignore the re- port and favor Indian Nationalist as- pirations. These members have become increas- ingly insistent that Great Britain must not be represented at the conference by the Laborite Government alone, con- tending that, as all shades of India opinion have been invited, the British delegation must also represent all parties in Great Britain. The Conserv ‘ives at a meeting yes- terday passed a resolution emphasizing the value of the Simon report as a basis of discussion at the conference and urging that all British parties be represented there, The opposition intends to press the government for a clear statement of its intentions before Parliament rises for its Summer holiday. If the ministers refuse the opposi- tion demand the Conservatives will, it was understood, move & vote of cen- sure, which surely would be supported by all the Conservatives and probably many Liberals including David Lloyd George. Jf such a censure is carried the governm undoubtedly would resign, the Ministerialist Herald sald today. here's gtrea Simple ... wpet enticing?

The first definite important move in | the new and greater development of the | Mall was made today when a contract was let for tearing down several old buildings in front of the new Depart- ment of Agriculture Administration Building, regrading of ' tifg landscape and building of a new roadway from Twelfth to Fourteenth streets. The contract was let by the Treasury Department to the Hechinger Co. of this city in the. sum of $84,333. The work 1s to be completed in 120 days from the date of notice to proceed, which is expected in a few days. Thus a major change will be made in a part of the Mall landscape which long has been cluttered up with several old buildings. The development will al remove the unsightly collection of mis- cellaneous structures, cut down a con- siderable amount of ground and reveal to the view from the Mall the white marble Department of Agriculture Building in its entirety. The adminis- tration building for this department was recently completed to connect the two old white marble wings construct- ed separately during the administration of President Roosevelt. The new concrete roadway which is to be cut through the Mall from Twelfth to Fourteenth streets will create a new traffic artery 35 feet in width in s &l(‘e which long has been selected as part .of the eventual driveway system of the entire Mall development. The new wide driveway will supplant the narrow macadam winding streets in the vicinity of the Department of Agricul- ture Building. MAY TAKE THEATER CHAIRS. Poli's Seating Equipment Considered for Reformatory. As the Treasury Depertment planned to open bids today for tearing down an entire block of buildings in which Pol Theater is located to make way for park, it was learned that negotiations are under way to put all of the old the- ater seats from Poli’s into the audi- torium of the District of Columbia Re- formatory at Lorton, Va. Much of the theatrical equipment in the theater belongs to the Poli's Thea- ter organization, but the seats are the property of the Government. So it ap- peared today that about 1500 theater chairs from which the Washington public has enjoyed the wide variety of productions in thai theater will soon be used by the inmates of a reforma- tory. The transaction is being ar- ranged by the Treasury Department and the District of Columbia govern- m:‘xzt through the General Supply Com- mittee. ke it Nanking Gets Hospital.

In the popular mind there is a close association between the Eskimo and | the igloo or snow-house, built of cakes of ice or snow piled one on the other in a decreasing circle until & hemi- spheroid shelter is formed. But, as & matter of fact, this form is made very little use of in the Arctic region. The habitations of Eskimos vary considerably with the region, but in a general way they conform to three types.
