\> f B—2 % ROYAL URN WINNER AT BRADLEY SHOW Mellon Gelding Best Hunter, With Americana Taking Saddle Championship. Royal Urn, 8-year-old gray gelding belonging to Richard K. Mellon of Pittsburgh, won the grand champion- ship in the hunter class yesterday aft- ernoon as a closing feature of the most successful meet in the history of the National Capital Horse Show. About 250 of the finest jumpers and eaddle horses in the East were entered by more than 100 exhibitors. Although the first two days were marred by in- clement weather, officials of the show said attendance was better than last year. Another horse singled out for a championship award .was Americana, shown by Henry L. Fonda of Char- lottesville, Va., in the saddle classes. Americana was judged the best saddle horse in the meet last year and won several firsts in saddle classes this year. Champion Breaks Loose. A throng of some 2,500 spectators on the closing day was treated to a touch of comedy when Royal Urn broke free as he was being led into the ring to re- ceive the championship ribbon and eluded stable boys and officials for al- most 20 minutes. ‘The runner-up in the hunter cham- onship was _Thundercrash, shown y Mrs. Simon Patterson of Pittsburgh, and winner of the light-weight hunter champlonship. Royal Urn won both the middle and heavy weight cham- pionships in the hunter class. Woman Rider Takes Spill.

GREECE-BULGARIA ISSUES MEDIATED Henderson Aids Provisional Adjustment of Knotty Finance Problems. By Cable to The Star. VIENNA, Austria, May 15.—Provis- fonal adjustment of the thorny out- standing problems between Greece and Bulgaria has now taken place, thanks largely to the mediation of Arthur Hen- derson, British foreign minister, it is said in Sofia today. Settlement of this - long standing Greco-Bulgar dispute marks a new tri umph also for the policy of Eleutherios the Greek prime minister Vienna he said that with sh issues now cleared up. ugoslav relations on a very friendly basis. he would turn to Bul- garia and Albania, hoping for similar agreements. Under Venizelos, in fact, Greece has been doing a good deal of peace-making. The indirzct but e\":n::nllm,m of t};‘}s Hey, le say, clear up the Iprou:tli;n p:eobpween Bulgaria and Jugosla- via, which is the most serious single Bal- tan problem. With Greece friendly with Ji via on one side, and now with Buigaria on the other, the position of Greece as mediator 15 much improved. Issues Most Financial. The issues between Greece and Bul- garia were mostly financial, and of ex- treme complexity. Since they were financial rather than political, solution was doubly difficult, since each nation stubbornly persisted in its ‘claims with- out serious fear of diplomatic conse- quences. The tussle has beeq going on three years. Greece wanted (1) damages for anti- Greek riots that took place at the sea- port of Anchialos, then on Bulgarian soil, way back in 1906; (2) indemnity for damage done by the Bulgarian army in the Great War; (3) comprehen- sive arbitration of other outstanding issues. Bulgaria denied the right of Greece to dig up claims that have been dormant i ages of less than $3000, was brought | for 25 years; insisted that the war dam- | originally in the State courts, but was | ages should be paid out of reparations; | transferred to the Federal courts when | 8sked for indemnity for 6,000 Mace- donian families that had been deported; and refused to submit to blanket arbi- tration without corresponding guaran- | Mr. Henderson, as mediator, outlined a series of compromises. As to the old 1906 damages, he suggested that The Hague Court of International Justice should decide whether or not The Hague Court was competent or not to discuss them!

As to Greek war claims, they will be sint to a special arbitral tribunal set up under the Eastern reparations settle- ment.

F. Darling, director of the British Midland Bank, d noted PBritish authority on cur- Under his plan, to which he believes the United States would find it un- profitable not to subscribe, Mr. Darling said there should be no difficuity in re- storing silver and keeping it on its true comparative parity with gold. He nsserted the rehabilitation of sil- ver was of immediate importance, “be- cause as I see it we are drifting rapidly toward economic chaos.” | 20 to 1. . The superbank, binding together the financial structures of the entire British | commonwealth of nations, would estab- lish the ratio of silver to gold at 20 to 1, which he said, “approximates to the exchange value of the Indian rupee.” The proposed superbank would, Mr. | Darling continued, “take over by pur- chase the existing stocks of goid and silver held by the governments and banks that issue currency for the em- pire. The superbank would be given a4 new monetary unit for its exclusive use, which might be appropriately called the ‘rex’ It would be purely a bookkeeping unit and would involve no change in actual currencies. “‘Gold would be purchased at a mini- mum price of one ‘rex’ for 113 grains of fine gold, which is the gold content of the sovereign. Silver would be pur- chased at, say, one ‘rex’ for 2,260 grains of fine silver. Transfer Facilitated. “The value of the ‘rex’ would be uni- form, whether created by gold or silver, and belances would be transferable to any part of the empire where the bank had an office by a mere ledger entry as published tariff of transfer charges. “An office of the bank would be opened in London and in convenient places in the Dominion and India Thus the gold produced in the empire would be purchased on the spot as it came from the mines. “If the bank raised its selling price | for gold, it would raise its buying price also, %0 that the empire’s gold produc- ers would gain the advantage. _ “Fundamentally, silver money is more important to the world than gold. Gold as money has virtually disappeared. But in the East and, indeed in all tropical countries, silver money is a necessity. For ages they have been accustomed to use it as a medium of exchange and as a store of value. This value, how- ever, has been filched from them, first by the Nations of the West and next by the government of India itself.” He emphasized that his concern was with the restoration of the value of sil- ver as money, not with holstering the metal as a commodity. Mr. Darling outlined his plan before the Ottawa Canadian Club. Dog Joins Police Force. VERSAILLES, Ky.

PART ONE. Tongue Belies the Heart Caustic Sentences Torment Semator Caraway and Affability Crops Out; Pinchot Is “"Sweet Within Bitter.” BY WILLIAM HARD. I Having written in last Sunday's paper | about affabllity as a political asset for | public men, this writer has received | numerous remonstrances from readers | who desire to know how he explains the | poitical success of some of our most dis- tinguished and undefeatable statesmen who are much better known as snarlers than as smilers. “When,” inquiries one of these readers. | “was Thad Caraway. junior Senator from Arkansas, affable?” ‘The answer is: “‘Often, om{l he doesn’t let it get away with him while he is making a speech or examining a witness.” | M?. Caraway is a pathetic case. His heart is affable. His tongue is acrid. | He sometimes explains that the excoria- tions inflicted upon the iniquitous by his | tongue often subsequently make him | very heart-sick. His heart repents for his tongue. His heart, it appears, is as | tender as his tongue is tough. Tongue is Fastest. Nor is he thus, in fact, misrepresent- | ing himself. His tongue can think of a sharp thing to say before any heart in the world could catch up with it. Mr. Caraway simply has the world’s fastest tongue. He will enter the Sen- ate chamber smiling, perhaps, and with his heart expanded to grasp the whole world in a cardiac embrace. Thon his tongue perceives a sentence, one short | sentence, that can make a Republican look ridicluous. Just 20 or 30 words! A small matter! The tongue arises and does it. ‘Thereupon, though, the heart begins to work. Mr. Caraway sinks back into his chair and glowers. The glower- ing, you must understand, is not triumph. No! It is misery. Mr. Cara- way is suffering. He is rebuking his | tongue. The tongue apologizes and grovels. It promises to amend. Mr. Caraway looks relleved. He gets up | from his seat and walks over to the Re- | publican side of the chamber and con- | verses with Republicans amiably, af- fably. The affability is not audible from the press gallery. It is distinctly, | nevertheless, visable. Mr. Caraway has conquered his tongue. His true inward nature is in full outward evidence. He returns to the Democratic side. He resumes his seat. He beams. Sud- denly he looks serious. He looks wretched. His tongue has thought of | another weakness in another Republican. He struggles. He loses. “Mr. Presi- dent,” he says. And another Republic- an has an arrow in him; and in Mr. Caraway there is another heart ache. ‘This writer contends accordingly that Mr, Caraway gets re-elected because his | constituents perceive his actual tem- perament and know very well that he is | & considerate, humane and affectionate | man who, as it were, sacrifices himself in spanking the Republicang by Qurting himself more in his sensibilities ™han he | hurts them on their hides. | This writer sticks to the proposition | that almost all successful public men, | snarl as they may in many of their pub- | lic manifestations, are inclined, in fact, | in their private and true tendencies | more toward sunniness and cheeriness than toward gloom and pessimism. Pessimists could not encounter the ca- prices of the electorate and live. You SENATOR CARAWAY. while he utters them he glitters with a radiant confidence in the worth and in the charm of life, and in the splendo: of its ultimate outcome. He differs from Mr. Caraway, indeed, in one respect. His mean utterances do not bother him afterward. He rel- ishes them. They nourish him. The meaner he talks, the gayer he gets. And when the day’s fight is over, he spends the supposedly sad evenings of supposedly disillusioned old age grin- ning like a boy with all the unopened bright curiosities of life still ahead of him Now! This writer holds to his story. Your genuine public man must have in him, somewhere, a streak of warmth that can out-live the chills of political cynicism. (Copyright. 1931.)
