STEEG FILLS POSTS OF PARIS CABINET New Premier Encounters His First Trouble in Undersec- retary’s Resignation. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, December 13.— Theodore BSteeg, the new French premier, today ran into his first misadventure as the head of the government which he form- ed with such great difficulty. It did not seem of paramount im- portance in itself, but it was regarded as a forerunner of the difficulties he is expected to encounter when he presents h cabinet to the President. One of them changed his mind under pressure | from cabinet members and decided to stick by the premier. He is Leon Barety, undersecretary of finance. With Etienne Riche, under- secretary for air, he ipformed Steeg earlier in the day that he would be un- able to stay in the cabinet. Riche stood by that decision when Barety yielded | to persuasion. Forecasts His Policy. As he left the Elysee Palace the new premier issued his first formal statement of policy, to the effect that his cabinet’s would be dedicgged to the serv- ce of “impartial justil and to the “maintenance of peace through security and the fursuit of economic activity by means of social progress.” ‘The new cabinet is based almost solely upon the support of Radical So- cialists and Left Center groups and re- sembles in composition the short-lived Chautemps government of 11 months #go. M. Steeg, who is former resident general of Morocco, commented that it was not the ideal combination he wished, but that he had at least ob- tained adhesion of men of good will, | skill and talent.

M. Steeg's success in getting together a ministry came early upon the ninth day of the cabinet crisis, which began when the Senate Thursday of last week voted no confidence in Premier Tardieu on a question involving financial policy. M. Steeg was the fourth man to be asked to form a government, Raymond Poincare having refused because of ill health and Louls Barthou and Pierre Laval having failed.

NEW YORK, December 13.—Two men in jumpers delivered a table and pack- age to the Riverside Drive apartmefit of Mrs. Charles F. Zittel yesterday and took away jewelry valued at between $65,000 and $150,000.

Her husband is publisher of Zits, a the- atrical weekly. A c;lm‘!d maid aiso was bound and ed. When the robbers made their purpose known, Mrs. Zittel led them to an empty safe. Not satisfied, they them- selves discovered a wall safe.

FLEAS ARE TAXED German Village Locates Unique Source of Revenue. BERNBERG, Germany (®).— Now that cats, dogs, horses and other ani- mals have become regular taxpayers, why shouldn’t waterfleas also contrib- ute to the empty town treasury? A large pond belonging to the village | Gross Poley, near here, is infested with | waterfleas. So the aldermen decided to place a tax on the catching of these “community fleas.” When an inhabitant acquired the sole right to catch fleas in the pond, he had to sign a lease which provides that the annual tax of $15 on waterfleas must be prepaid CONTRACTORS AGREE TO GIVE UP PROFITS Baltimore Builders’ Exchange Men Act to Relieve Unem- ployment.
