Mother and daughter BRUENING PLANS DEFIANT STAND Rmchstag Refusal of Support ‘ Would Bring Request for Adjournment. By the Asscciated Press. BERLIN, September 27.—Chancellor Bruening's word to party leaders in the Reichstag, when his new government | program is ready for an announcement, will be “take’ it or leave it.” If the Relchstag should refuse its support, the chancellor, whose faith in his own fin- ancial ability is high, simply would ask President Von Hindenburg to adjourn Parliament. Friends of the chancellor assert that this program, although dictatorial in the extreme, has been decided upon as ‘also | the shortest route to attainment of his aims for restoration of Germany to a condition of economic stability. Once the President has adjourned Parliament, observers sald today, Dr. Bfuenlnlt vesourcefulness will find a vly prevent its reconvocation until the government's program has been put fylly into effect, Equal to Dictatorship. Such action would be the equivalent of a dictatorship, but with Germany’s national electjon only two weeks past and the political situation mnre mud- saying nothing. Thus far the eh-n- cellor has referred all inquirers to the forthcoming. of reldjlutment Announcement of program, thw‘h u:hedu!ed to lppeur late today, withheld discussion even lmnnc cabinet memben and tonight it was asserted in government circles no statement could be e ‘before mmtwtmtflthem lutions and motions of the many party caucajes could be taken as irrevocable, it would seem Dr. Bruening hadn't a chance of remaining at the head of the government, but this is nullified by the fact that all parties are sparring for & maximum price for their support.

After ‘a laborious struggle through the Mediterranean, where the grease in the boiler room sizzled and spat from the neat, after bucking an ocean which for two days seemed to want to stand on end, the Burro's ancient en- gines picked reasonable weather in which to give up the ghost. “We hove to,” a deckhand on th(‘] Burro said, “and the skipper hopped | with rage.

A frightened boy at the winch didn't know what “slack away,” meant.

BY LSETER N. INSKEEP, Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va. September 27— The eagerly awaited redumon in rates of the Rosslyn Gas Co. Arlington County, which have been prmhed by officials of the company, must await an agreement as to the g“ce to be charged by the Washington Light Co. to its Arlington Cmmty mbsldhry. it was stated today Praser, vice president of the thtngum concern. Plans for extension of service in the annexed portion of Alexandria which formerly was in Arlington County were announced at the same time. According to Fraser, the company will stand by its promise to make reductio: in Arlington County which will proj tionately equal and may exceed those made in Washington, but it will be im- possible to set the exact figures for some time. First, he said, an agreement msut be reached between the parent company and its subsidiary, and then the figures for the rate reduction must be worked out and forwarded to the State Corporation Commission of Vir- ginia for approval. “We cannot promise rates- equal to those in Washington,” Fraser said, “but we intend to bring them as near the ‘Washington rates as is ible. We are in the business of selling gas and we fully realize that our volume of sales will be greatly increased through as | large a rate reduction as is possible. It | must be remembered that the rates in Arlington County have been 50 per cent higher than those in Washington, mak- ing it difficult to give the same rate across the rive Coincident with the receipt of a char- ter from the State Corporation Com- mission for the Alexandria Gas Co., which also has been purchased by the Seaboard Trust Co. of Boston, holding company of the Washington concern, Fraser announced that the Alexandria concern plans the immediate extension of its service throughout the annexed one and one-half times the size of the city before the annexation proceedings, hence the proposed extensions repre- sent quite a large program. While it is expected that the actual operation of the Alexandria plant will| be discontinued, the gas being trans- | mitted from Rosslyn to Alexandria, the franchise under which the Alexandria | campany must operate_prevents its con- solidation with the. Rosslyn Gas Co. hence the former concern must con- | tinue to operate as a separate company | even though the source of the gas be | the same. The maximum rate that can | be charged in Alexandria is $1.15, as against the present rate of $1.50 in Arlington County. It is the hope of the Alexandria con- cern to have the extensions finished there within four months. This will be possible, Fraser declared, if there is not portion of Alexandria.

Special Dispateh to The £ ar. MARTINSBURG, W. Va., September 27.—Clifford Coombs, Mineral County, W. Va., a Federal prisoner, and Joseph Cannon, local youth held on robbery charges, sawed their way to liberty from the local jail some time Thursday night, it was discovered when the turnkey made his rounds Friday morning. They are still at large. ‘The men escaped through a half- window, barred front and back with three bars on either wall. They sawed their way through these bars with hacksaws, apparently smuggled to them, and squeezed through the small open- ing. The jail officlals regarded the cell as one of the safest in the building and one from which no one had ever escaped previously. How the saws reached the two prisoners was a mys- tery to the jailer. ‘The cell from which they fled was next to that in which Taylor Hott, this city, self-confessed slayer of three of his children, and Dorsey Lamb of the county, held for the murder of | Lorenzo Marino near here two weeks ago, were confined. They denied hear- ing any suspicious noises from the ad- joining cell, although jail officials in- isted the sawing must have been in progress some days.
