Should this utterly lawless thing be done. it will dishonor every responsible official of the | svstem and give color and credence to the increasingly violent attacks of igno- rant demagogues who have already wickedly prejudiced this banking sve- em with the volatile and emotional rarians of the South and West.” Senator Glass commented that it had been suggested in some quarters that the President of the United States. in conjunction with the inating figures” of the New You eral Reserve Bank. should coerce the Pederal Reserve Board at Washington to engage in this financial venture “The President of the United States.’ said. “has not and never was intended th have any authority whatsoever over Federal Reserve banking p-licies. which are definitely fixed by statute, affirmatively and negatively. Will Lose Supporters. “The proposal to have the Federal Reserve system thrust into the vortex of European financial operations i the | guise of buying prime commercial | short-time bilis is a_discreditable prop- csition. These would be purely finan- cfal bills, without one particle of ref- | commercial transaction It is no answer to that the ‘domi- erence to any | of any description this eriticism to say nating figures’ of the New York Fed- | eral Reserve Bank once did the same thing for England. Because the law was cnce violated outrageously is no excuse that it should now be even more outrageously violated in a highly dangerous degree, which may be, and very likely will, eventuate in incalcula- ble” disaster to the commercial credit system of the United States With such maladministration as has already occurred and as that now proposed. it will not be Iong before the stoutest de- fenders of the Federal Reserve system in Congress will be driven at least to elaborate the bitterest criticism of its enemics.” Senator Glass was among those first consulted by the President about the jon plan and is_understood to have greed with the President finallv. ex- cept that Mr. Glass would go further and readjust the debts. | CONCRETE PLAN FOR GERMANY SEEN HELP FOR BRUENING (Continued From Pirst Page.) concurred in this emotionalism. But they vielded to it to a dangerous degree. both from fear of the street. incor- porated in the National Socialists, and of the countryside in the Nationalists and Steel Helmet lads. Encrmous. too. was the influence of President Paul_von Hindenburg. who. unschooled in_financial matters, seems to have clung to his beloved pocket bat- tleship and protected the Steel Helmet organization, of which he is honorary president, somewhat, regardless of the | consequences. Only the extreme danger of ccmplete ruin made it possible to yield at this point. Furthormore, another weakness in the German situation was overexpansion of | German industries during the recon- struction period. whereby rationaliza- tion was considered a purely technical and not a financial problem. Indus- tries, overcapitalized and illiquid. have fought tooth and nail against. d-flation, aided by the banks, which, themselves stuffed with frozen credits and indus- trial paper, have continued to blow into inflated industries, hoping for a miracle. The present situation seems 1 fine example of the danger lyingyin a system of industrial banks which :§ on stocks which they are unable to sell 'and waste resources in propping stock xchange values. It would seem that usiness _consolidation based on defla- tion is the first necessity and that the situation can best be cured by open hrinkage of capital. Natural these measures, like the Bruening “submission” to the French in going to Paris, are the object of bitter attack by the Nationalists. Cowed and frightened during the days of terrible danger, all these people have now found courage again and are loudly repeating charges about the fulfillment policy's being the cause of the country’s ruin and demanding that they be allowed to step into the place of people like Dr. Bruening, who are responsible for the calamity. | This does not spply to the National | Socialists, who continued during the i entive awful week to shout threats with that blithe ignorance of economics, finance and international politics which ! makes their newspapers so diverting.

Her house. known as Henderson's Castle, or Boundary Castle, for vears. was one of the show places of Washingion, so unusual was its general architecture.

Henderson, and her son. John B. Henderson, jr. The court was told that during the last two years Mrs. Henderson had been seriously ill under the care of physicians and in sanita- riums and the belief was expressed by the petitioner that her grandmother's mental condition incapacitated her from properly performing the duties and functions as trustee under the wills of her husband and son. Mrs. Wholean is a daughter of John B. Henderson, jr., and in ner suit asked for a complete accounting of the ad- ministration of both estates. later when Mrs. Henderson repudiated a document made public in court in which the 90-year-old woman purported to claim that Mrs. Wholean was not her real granddaughter.

When the time came, .she said in an interview that she had “every drop in our cellar taken out and dumped into the sewer.” This was in 1906. Senator Henderson was a close friend of Lincoln, and Mrs. Henderson knew President intimately. She has lived in Washington under the administrations of Presidents Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfleld. Ar- thur, Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding, Cool- idge and Hoover. Very likely Mrs. Henderson, at the time of her death, was the only woman in Washington who had enjoyed the friendship “or personal ~ acquaintance with 15 of the Land. There were 14 “First Ladies,” because President Arthur was a widower. But President Wilson mar- ried the second time while in the White House. She was the author of several boc one of the most notable being entitle “The Aristocracy of Health.” In this book she implores her readers to do their utmost o save the human race from its “favorite poison vices” under which she includes intoxicant liquors, tobacco. particularly cigarettes, and overeating. Mrs. Henderson was a vege- tarian and adhered strictly to the rules of living set down in the more than 700 pages of her volume. Last Winter in an interview she said she realized in her convictions she was running counter to the almost indelible habits and customs of people nowadays 2nd subjected herself to being called narrow and out of accord with the times. “Lack Hogic. ese,” she sald. “I am sure T have logic and common sense on my side. and the moderate drinker. the drunkard. the slutton and the tobacco hog have not. in the least degree. these attributes on rheir side, and they know it if they will but reason.” Mre. Henderson had always worn long skirts of the Victorian era, shortened a litle to the shoe tops. She stead- fastly refused to fall in with what she termed the “monstrosities and caprices of fashion in feminine attire.” But she discarded the corset and tight lac- ing long ago. “This female vanit played havoe with the health and hap. piness of many woman in other days," she said She even made the maids in her big establishment conform to her own ideas of feminine attire Mrs. Henderson was a believer health and exercise shine, she drove “Neverthel, in Each day, rain or twice daily to the Lincoln Memorial and walked twice each time around the reflecting pool She drank no coffee or tea and used honey and a_ “health substitute” for salt. “In a life of 50 years, 20 are spent in sleep, she once remarked “The first 25 years are simply prepar- atory—learning how to live. Ten years out of 50 are consecrated to the nourish- ment of the ‘inner man'—the time for eating and drinking. How much time is left for the ripening of the fruit and contribution to the world? In the ma. jority of human lives such time is never reached.” said Mrs. Henderson. Her views on girls and women of to- day were expressed recently by Mrs. Henderson. “Women of this age delight in referring to the more modest and womanly women of the Victorian age as being prudish and affected,” she said. “I deny this, In those days there was A minimum of domestic strife and di- vorce. Divorce was a disgrace when I was a girl and young woman. Now women seem to need one or more di- vorces to make them popular with-men. There is not the least doubt but that girls and women were more serious and sincere than they are today. and, no doubt, this applies to boys and men also. It is the lack of womanly modesty and graces that is largely the trouble tocay. There are very few Victorians in this day. I hear there are more flappers than Victorians.” Mrs. Henderson's castle, which stood as an outpost of the city for years, was the scene of many brilliant social en- tertainments and political conferences When Senator and Mrs. Henderson first built there. a rush followed and fine homes began to be erected in the neighborhood. Some years ago. she introduced “dancing schools” as a fad in Wash- ington social life. She hired a dancing teacher and the young debutantes and sub-debs held forth at the “castle.” Mrs. Joseph Leiter and others then took up the fad. Named Swimming Pool Consors. When Mrs. Henderson began going to Bar Harbor several years ago. she threw open the swimming pool at Boundary Castle to members of the diplomatic corps and her friends. Mrs. Coolidge was said to have availed her- self of the privilege several times. Then strange things began to happen, and still stranger faces and forms attired in modern bathing suits appeared. In her anxlety, Mrs. Henderson named a diplomatic committee to act as a board of censors, and it was not long before the swimming pool was closed. In many ways Mrs. Henderson hfd Some years ago she was haled twice into Police Court for cutting down a District government tree which obstructed her view of the White House. She con- |tended the tree was dead, and brought a part of it into court as evidence. Two of Mrs. Henderson’s employes, who cut down the tree, were fined $25 each, but the judge rebuked the authorities for bringing the prominent woman to court a second time. The matter ended when she planted another tree at her own expense. R‘lm. Henderson always attended the meetings of the W. C. T.

Not only are they themselves agreed on this point but also their enemies of the Right and Left. They will leave tonight on the famous Express du Nord. The very fact. however, that the statesmen have decided to go is clted by those close to the government as evidence they are convinced they will encounter in Paris a similar realization of the peculiar perils of the crisis and the need for meeting it in a spirit of mutual understanding.

An extra session at this time would only do serious harm The vote count showed that proxies i had been voted for 228 Reichstag mem- {bers, includirg National Socialists, | Nationalists and_Communists. for the | extra session. The Reichstag has 577 members and thus the necessary ma. jority was not obtained. Meet Again Thursday. The three opposition parties moved that the elders meet again next Thurs- dav to consider calling the Reichsteg into session at a later date. This was agreed to. The Paris parlev and the London ccuncil of ministers, following it on Monday, are hailed with sincere relief in pro-government quarters ss a sign that the recognition of European soli- darity is at last getting a grip on the minds of Europe’s statesmen. The conviction s growing in the press that the world has made up its mind inot to let Germany's crisis become Eurcpe's catastrophe. The Nationalist opposition, however, doesn't disguise its distrust of any Franco-German parley on_Prench soil at this time. The Industrialist Allgemeine Zeitung which leans toward Adolf Hitler, even | warns Bruening that not only his gov- ernment but his life will not be safe if_he gives way in Paris to “French blackmail.” The Nationalist Der Tag savs, "By accepting the French inv taiton the government has overthrown its entire previous program at one { blow.” Reds Intrench Themselves. The Deutsche Tages Zeftung is re- minded of the days when Germany accepted Presiden: Wilson's 14 points in the fond hope they were the means Jof a mew era of world solidarity. At the other extreme, the Communist press views the forthcoming parleys as “the united front against Moscow " At_Gelsenkirchen the mob of Com- munists who were intrenched in the streets throughout the night were dispersed by police with little resist- ance at dawn and 22 of them were arrested. Authorities Tegained control of the barricaded thoroughfares and stationed patrols at focal points to avoid a repe- tition of last night's rioting. They said police withheld their fire rather than cause bloodshed. No police were in- jured. but the condition of the rioters was not known, PARIS WORKS ON RELIEF PLAN.
