PARIS, November 3.—France will agree to parity in naval tonnage with Italy in the Mediterranean, it was said in official circles today, on condition that Italy will allow the French to have sufficient tonnage stationed elsewhere to protect communications with the colonies, 1t is calculated here that France must have 140,000 tons for any eventualities in the Atlantic Ocean, while it can take care of its colonial routes with 100,000 tons.

Concessions of Both France and Italy Are Sought. BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN. By Cable to The Star. ROME, Italy, November 3.—Ambas- sador Hugh S. Gibson’s numerous con- versations with Italian officials here during the last few days have been given over to a single purpose: To con- vince the Italians that the French are really not as bad as they seem to Italian eyes and to persuade them, with that thought in mind, to resume im- mediately negotiations for naval parity. Before coming here Mr. Gibson spent Because of present cost levels it was estimated a saving of 9 to 20 per cent would be gained by building now, in addition to the beneficie] effect on un- employment. At the same time, Woods announced the appointment of two more men to the directing staff of his organization for the relief of suffering among the Jobless, Virginian Appointed. Frank Bane of Richmond, Va. State commissioner of public welfare, was msl‘. director for the nine tes. James 'C. Lawrence, dean of admin< istration of the University of Minnesota, was appointed to act in Wi as “a clearing house for regional direc- tors.” Dean Lawrence arrived in Wash- ington today. The chairman today received a tele- gfim from John W. Flynn saying Gov. llips of Arizona had appointed him cnairman of the State Committee on ‘Unemployment. Flynn said volunteer agencies were being established in every community to register the umloyed and that other voluntary committees were being appointed to devise new means of em- ployment. Meanwhile Woods' office issued an appeal and warning from Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the Children’s Bureau, that relief must be accelerated to pre- vent suffering among the children of the unemployed. Cut in Costs Shown. Col. Woods said he had obtained his figures to indicate substantial savings to taxpayers on public works projects at this time from a survey made at his request by the Commerce Department Division of Public Construction. He reported that present bids on construction at points east of the Mis- sippl averaged between 14 and 15 per cent below estimates for 1929; with the decrease greater on smaller buildings than on projects of major size. Reports from Army officials, he said, showed decreases averaging about 10 per cent per cubic foot in the cost of residential construction between 1929 and 1930. Decreases in the contract costs for dredging, levees and other river and harbor improvements ranging up to 44 per cent also were reported. Road Expenses Lower. The Bureau of Public Roads, Woods added, had submitted data on unit costs for PFederal Ald road-building projects, showing costs to have decreased 10 to 15 per cent. He also quoted figures complied by the Standard Statistics Co. to show the cost of securing money had come down to such an extent that the same ex- penditure of interest last August would | pay_for 8 per cent more money than in_September, 1929, Woods said it was planned to divide the country into six or seven major divisions to facilitate relief work. So far, regional directors have been appointed for only two of these divi- | stons. Fred C. Croxton_of Columbus, (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.) Enlistment of Jobless Urged.

It is known, however, that every one with whom he has talked, from Andre ‘Tardieu and Premier Mussolini , has shown signs of weariness from the long word battle between the two coun- tries and an honest desire w come to an agreement. Mr. Gibson’s job is not to offer any concrete solution for the question or even to “render his good of ,” but simply to impress upon France and Italy the folly of a continued naval race. It requires even more than the tact and diplomacy of a man such as Mr. Gibson to compromise the Italian thesis of parity with the French demands for a 7-to-4 ratio of superiority over Italy. On the other hand, these much talked- of demands assume much less impor- tance than was once attached to them when it is realized that Italy wants and can use only theoretical parity with Prance. If the French are willing to make a concession of paper parity to Itallan pride and the Italians are willing to make some concessions in actual ton- nage to France, still without making it appear they have made a sacrifice, the Geneva meeting this week may yleld results. French and RMalian politicians must appease the very people whom they have excited and it now appears that they are anxious to do so. (Copyrizht. 1930 GERMANS SEEK PARLEY END.

By the Associated Press. RIO DE JANEIRO, November 3.— The path of revolution led today to the presidency of Brazil for Dr. Getulio Var- gas, insurgent generalissimo and head of the country’s Liberal Alliance, chief opposition party. His inaugural as provisional President, Just one month after inception of the revolution, which nine days ago brought deposition of President Washington Luis, precedes by less than two weeks the day when Dr, Julio Prestes, now a refugee in the British consulate at Sao Paulo, was to have assumed office for a regu- lar four-year term. Dr. Vargas, who opposed Dr. Prestes in the national elections, claimed that the election of his opponent was fraud- ulent and that ballots cast for him were not counted. ‘Will Dissolve Congress. Asked whether he would govern as a dictator, Dr. Prestes replied that he would be President “with discretionary powers,” and said that he would dis- solve Congress at once for an indefinite term. Capt. Juarez Tavora and other revo- lutionary leaders all have approved Dr. Vargas’ selection for the presidency and have approved his program, which is largely that of the Liberal Alliance. Rio de Janeiro newspapers have asked that a popular fund be raised to pay off Brazil's foreign debts. Although the proposal is only several days old, money is pouring into the fund daily. Cabinet List Indicated. Dr. Vargas spent the day in consulta- tions regarding his cabinet. Although no official announcement has been made, it appeared that the following would be the line-up: Foreign minister, Dr. A. de Mello Franco; interior and justice, Osvaldo Aranha; finance, Jose Maria Whitaker; agriculture, Assis Brasil; public works, Gen. Juares Tavora; war, Gen. Leite Castro, and navy, Admiral Isaias No- ronha. Dr. Mello Pranco was named minister of foreign affairs in the ministry set up by the military junta in_ Rio de Janeiro last month. The ‘mem- bers of the cabinet also were actively conpected with the successful revolu- tion. Aranha is a Liberal from Rio Grande do Sdl, where the revolt had its origin. Gen. Tavora was in command of the northern insurgent army, while Gen. Castor also commanded an in- surgent force. WASHINGTONIAN HURT BY HIT-AND-RUN CAR Now Believed Dr. C. F.

Jackson of Havana, who were drowned when trying | to aid Mrs. Jackson. The presence of sharks in the vicinity caused some doubt that the bodies would be recovered. Saved by Wife. A third vice consul, Sydney Gest of Havana, barely escaped with his life in | a futile attempt to rescue the trio when | his wife found a long pole and wu'dl him to shore. P ‘The three vice consuls were spending | Sunday with their wives at Matanzas. Mrs. Jackson climbed to the top of & high cliff overlooking the bay. A sud-| den swirl of wind caught her and blew | her over the cliff into the bay. | Her husband, hearing her screams, jumped in after her, but in a moment | it appeared certain to those on the shore | that his attempt would be futile in the rough water. Wainwright then dove into | the bay, and for a moment all three could be seen on the crest of a wave. A moment later Gest went into the water also, but was soon exhausted with- out seeing the trio again and tried to get back to shore. He probably would have drowned too had not his wife pulled him out with the pole. | Rescue parties were got together by | the Gests, but the waves were running | high and attempts to find the bodies | finally had to be abandoned until today. | Both the Jacksons and Wainwrights had been in Cuba about a year.

Dunigan, Inc. ‘The “spite-fence” regulation of the District of Columbia, which forbids the erection of a fence on the dividing line between two pieces of property to the height of more than seven feet above the street level without'permission of the adjoining owner was declared today by the District Court of Appeals to work. a discrimination against lot owners whose lots lie above the street level and “unlawfully tends to invade the prop- erty rights of such owners.” The opinion was rendered by Chief Justice George E. Martin and reversed the action of the Police Court, which had imposed a fine on the D. J. Duni- gan, Inc., for refusing to remove a wall complained against by Henry F. Wood- ard, local lawyer, who resides next door to the home of the late David J. Duni- gan and who had not given permission for its erection. The properties are located on Woodland drive, Cleveland avenue and Thirty-second street. Regulation is Invoked. In November, 1927, the Dunigan firm applied to the building inspector for permission to construct a brick wall 7 feet high and 240 feet long, on its own property, and when it was nearly com- pleted in April, 1928, Mr. Woodard called attention to the fact that the wall was more than 7 feet above the street level and invoked the regulation, which had been adopted January 27, 1927, and which was aimed against “spite fences.” Dunigan was ordered to remove the portion of the wall that extended higher than 7 feet above the street level. The company refused, and the conviction and fine in Police Court followed. It was shown that the Duni- gan property was considerably above grade and that at some points the wall was more than 13 feet above the s level. “In our opinion” says Chief Justice Martin, “the regulation as thus con- strued and applied is unreasonable, arbitrary and unjustly discriminatory and the conviction based upon it should not be sustained. Under such regula- tion, for illustration, an owner of a building lot which is on the same level as the established street grade may be permitted to erect such a wall to the height of 7 feet above the foundation without first cbtaining the written con- sent of the acjoining lot owner, and if the lot level be 7 or more feet lower than the established grade the owner may be permitted to bulld a wall to the height of 14 feet or more without consent, but if the level of the owner's lot be 7 feet or more above the estab- lished ‘grade he cannot secure a permit to build such a wall to any height without first securing consent of the adjoining cwner.” No “Spite or Malice.” ‘The court suggests that it is unbe- lieveable that the Commissioners in- tended the regulation to be so applied, since there is no question of “spite or in the construction of the ‘The chief justice points out that, although a regulation may be lawful on its face and apparently fair in its terms, yet, if enforced in such manner as to work a discrimination against' & part of the community for no lawful reasan, such exercise of power will be invalidated by the courts. ‘The lots which brought about the enactment of the regulation, it is stated, were on the street level, and no pro- for properties whose G.

The brother and friends paid no at- tention to the youth and a short time later went to bed. This morning, about 7:30 o'clock, Robert Brandler found the dead body of his brother in the bath room of the apartment they share. Coroner J.

Police of the eighth precinct reported they had received a call from neighbors complaining of the noise coming from the apartment and had sent a patrolman to the apartment to_ warn the youths to make less noise. Following the visit of the’ policeman, members of - the homicide squad say, there was an argument among the youths, and during the argument Charles Brandler went to the bath room, stayed a few minutes and then came out, holding & small medicine box, and announced he had taken the con- tents.

A warrantless rald was upheld today by the District Court of Appeals, in an opinion by Chief Justice George RB. Martin. It was concurred in by Justice Charles H. Robb and by Alf A Wheat, chief justice of the Supreme Court, who sat as a member of the appellate tribunal in the absence of Justice Van Orsdel. The court afirmed the action of the Police Court, which had held legal & seizure of liquor by prohibition agents in the kitchen of a restaurant operated by Enos Groce in the basement and first floor of a five-story building. At the rear of the basement room was & small connecting room, which led to the kitchen; there was a table, but no chairs in this room. A stairway led from the room to the upper floor. Groce's attorney said the restaurang was located at 1305 H street. Four policemen, who were also pro- hibition officers, visited the premises in the daytime for the purpose of ascere taining whether intoxicating liquor was being kept there in violation of the national prohibition act. They Had no search warrant. One of them went into the basement restaurant by the street entrance and found no one in there at the time. He then went into the small room in the rear and walked to the kitchen door, which was and from there looked into the kite! He saw four bottles of corn whisky in the kitchen, which he seized and placed on the table in the connecting room, Claimed as Private.
