The prisoner’s repeated protestations of innocence have been punctuated by sporadic outbursts directed at his for- mer employer, during which he has spoken of a “grudge” held against him by Campbell and has charged he is the victim of a “frame-up.” Barrere's attitude toward Campbell ‘has become particularly hostile in the past 24 hours, He has been subjected to persistent questioning regarding his re- lations with Campbell. and especially as to his movements in the vicinity of the real estate man's home prior to and immediately following the finding of Mary Baker's ravaged corpse in a cul- vert near Arlington Cemetery on April 12 Jast. Barrere claims he is just learning for the first time that his present predica- ment is the result of statements made to_investigators by Compbell when he voluntarily turned the weapon over to police a few weeks ago. The prisoner has expressed his eagerness to see Campbell and “ask him what it's all about.” Can’t Understand. | “I just can't understand why any| one should want to frame me like this” Barrere reiterates, with a shake of the head. “I never stole anything from Campbell in my life, and I never knew he owned a gun until now.

YAGHT George Pulver’s Craft Struck by Speedboat in Lake—One Man Is Injured. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 19.—A saucy speed- boat, the Whoopee, carrying a party of six young people and a pilot, crashed amidships into the 14-ton yacht Scarab, off the Rogers Park Beach in Lake Michigan last night, catapul*ing Miss Betty Ayres, 18 years old, to her death. Six other members of the party, as well as the four men aboard the yacht, veached shore safely, although Ben- Jjamin Marshall, jr., 21-year-old son of | the wealthy Wilmette architect, was severely injured. Aboard the Scarab, an auxiliary yawl, was the craft’s owner, George M. Pul- ver, wealthy Washington mortgage broker; Freeman Higgins, New York, and a crew of two. The speedboat had been rented by young Marshall and was piloted by | Barton Webster. Aboard, in addition to Miss Ayres and Marshall, were Miss Dorothy Marshall, 14; William J. de Riemer, 18, son of Dr. Albert de Reimer; Robert Shotwell, 16, son of Alfred H. Shotwell, millionaire manufacturer, and Miss Janet Schreinn. Half Mile Off Shore. Members of the Marshall party said the Pulver yawl carried no runhing | lights. The collision occurred about half a mile off shore. Following the crash the yawl began to settle, but the Whoopee remained afloat a few minutes. A dingy was thrown over the side of the yacht and Pulver, Higgins and the two sailors Jumped in and made their way safely ashore. A nearby boat took members of the Marshall party aboard. Young Marshall was taken to a hospital, where an emergency operation was performed early today. Physicians said he would recover. Members of the party related .that Marshall was hurt when he struck the side of the yawl in diving after Miss Ayres. A radio was playing and the young people on the speed boat—a craft of the cabin cruiser type—were laughing and talking when suddenly, in the blackness of the sultry night, the boats came together with a crash. Thou- sands of bathers along the beaches heard it. Body Is Recovered. Life guard boats patroling the beaches put out at once, and quickly | were joined by Coast Guardsmen. | Early today Coast Guardsmen recov- ered Miss Ayres' body. The young woman_ had gone on the boat trip to escape the heat, her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Ayres, said. | “'The Scarab only recently arrived by | way of the St. Lawrence River and | the Great Lakes, for the Chicago-to- Mackinac yacht race, starting late to- day. She was idling off shore when the collision occurred. The Scarab’s port of registry is Washington. She was of wooden con- struction, measured 63 feet 10 inchies over all, and was sail and motor driven. Coroner Herman N. Bundesen called an_inquest for today to probe state- | ments of the Marshall party that the yawl carried no lights. DOUBLE ELOPEMENT RECALLED. Pulver Wed in 1926 to Daughter of Mrs. Alexander Legare.

By the Associated Press. AUTEUIL, France, July 19.— Amer- ica's youthful tennis team today gained the right to challenge the French for the Davis Cup, eliminating Italy in the interzone final by sweeping the first three matches. The crack doubles combination of Wilmer Allison, Austin, Tex., and John Van Ryn, East Orange, N. J., scored the deciding victory, defeating Baron Hum- bert De Morpurgo and Placido Gaslini, 5—1, 7—2, 6—4, 1—6, 6—3, after Alli- son and George Lott of Chicago had chalked up singles victories. Puts Up Good Fight. Italy, the winner in the European zone, did not go down without the se- verest kind of a struggle. All three matches were desperately fought, the opening singles contest yesterday be- tween Allison and Georgio de Stefani, as well as today’s doubles, going to five sets, and the Lott-De Morpurgo affair to four. ‘Tomorrew's concluding singles match- er now cannot affect the result. With the necessary three victories out of five already gained, the United States now stands qualified to play the French holders of the cup in this same Roland Garros Stadium next Friday, Saturday | and Sunday. De Morpurgo in Finals. Resourceful as well as courageous, th? Italian captain, Baron de Morpurgo, made a last-minute decision to play in the doubles match after both singles had been lost. Pairing with Gaslini against Allison and Van Ryn, he and his partner made a gallant bid for vic- tory, but the young Americans were more than they could withstand in the final test. Shortly before the doubles match be- gan Lott downed De Morpurgo by scores of 3—6, 9—17, 10—8 and 6—3 in a con- test interrupted yesterday by darkness, "‘l:lh the American leading at two sets one. PACT VOTE TONIGHT SEEN AS POSSIBLE Quorum Call Answered by 65 Members as Senate Re- assembles. The Senate this afternoon ap- proved the first article of the London Naval Treaty. It then proceeded to consider the treaty article by ar- ticle. The resolution of ratification will be introduced after the treaty has been approved. The resolution must lie over a day, it was ruled, un- less otherwise ordered by unanimous consent, —_ Notwithstanding the 12-hour session which kept them in the Senate chamber until 11 o'clock last night, 65 Senators answered their names on the quorum call when the Senate reassembled at {11 o'clock today. Supporters of the treaty talked of another session lasting until 11 o'clock tonight. Some of them said that it might be possible to obtain a vote and wind up the special session before ad- | journment tonight. | Senator Moses of New Hampshire, one | of the leaders of the opposition, declared, however, that no vote was in prospect today. He admitted, however, that a | vote would bgtaken next week. When | a vote is taken, the opponents of the treaty admit, the pact will be ratified. Foes_Deny Filibuster. The opponents of the treaty insist | that they are not filibustering, but that they do not intend to b: run over and forced into a surrender at this stage of the game. | The advocates of the treaty, on the | other hand, take the position that the opponents are clearly filibustering and that the filibuster is now apparent to all the world.

Failure on the part of the Senate to recess over the week end prevented President Hoover from going to his fish- }inl camp in the Virginia mountains to- a, . The President said that while there was nothing he could do personally to assist the Senate in its consideration of the naval treaty by remaining in Wash- ington today, he nevertheless thought that while the Senators were compelled to labor in the heat, it would not be be- coming on his part to run off to the| cool and shade of his mountain retreat. The President, however, is pretty comfortable at the White House now that the cooling system has been in- stalled in the mansion itself and in the executive offices.

COMMISSION TO APPEAL; LONG BATTLE PROBABLE Justice Bailey Allows Lines to Sell Four Tokens for 30 Cents, Three for 25 Cents or Seven for 50 Cents—First of Three Plans Will Be Adopted. Justice Jennings Bailey of the District Supreme Court today de- cided that the local street car companies are entitled to a 10« cent fare as a just return on the valuations of their several prop- erties. y The decision of the court, ren- dered on appeals of the Capital Traction Co. and the Washington Railway & Electric Co. from the refusal of the Public Utilities Com- mission to grant the companies’ requests for a 10-cent fare, sets forth a valuation of the Capital Traction Co. at $25,728,683 and that of the Washington Railway & Electric Co at $19,210,899.33, The decision provides that in lieu of a 10-cent cash fare the companies may sell four tokens , for 30 cents, three tokens for 25 cents or seven tokens for 50 cents.

Shortly after the decision was handed down officials of the two companies called on the Public Utilitles Commis: sion and went into conference with its members. It was sald that they were discussing the question of which of the alternative fares mentioned in the de- cree the companies would accept. After the conference President John H. Hanna of the Capital Traction Co., said that the companies would put the 10-cent~fare with four tokens for 30 cents into efféct and would not attempt the three-tokens-fora-quarter rate or seven tokens for 50 cents. The said the companies planned to put the rate into effect as soon as the decree is signed. People’s Counsel Richmond B. Keech announced, after reading the decision, that he would petition the Public Utili- ties Commission for an immediate re- valuation of the property of both com- panies. He said that the decision rested on questions of fact and had left many questions of law undecided. He saild that the public might get better results out of revaluations than out of an appeal to the Court of Ap- peals, although he has not yet made up his mind whether to file the appeal or go along with the commission in case it should appeal. Justice Bailey in the course of his opinion said: “On July 1, 1914, the commission proceeded to value the properties of the two street railway companies, the Capital Traction Co. and the Washing- ton Railway & Electric Co. On Sep- tember 4, 1919, it fixed the value .of the property of the Washington Railway & Electric Co., at $16,106,368.14, and that of the Capital Tracticn Co. at $14,270,495. > “The latter company appealed from this order to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and from that court an appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals, which fixed the valu- ation at $25,756,880, as of January 1, 1925. Later, by order of the commis- sion, the value of the property of the Washington Railway & Electric Co. was fixed at $17,469,527.73, as of De- cember 31, 1921. Applied for Increase. “In 1927 the Capital Traction Co. ap- lied to the commisison for an increase ir the rate of fare, but owing to the pendency of negotiations for a merger of the two companies and of the action of Congress thereon, the application was dismissed without prejudice. Congress did not act on the proposed merger and on June 14, 1928, the Capital Traction Co. ren=wed its application. The Wash- ington Railway & Electric Co. was made a party to the proceeding and joined in the application for an increase in fare. “At the hearing the railways relied upon these valuations as of their re- spective dates together with testimony as to additions, retirements, changes in value, and other matters in order to (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.)
