ROME BONDS FALL ON GOLD DECREE ltalian Stocks Advance. Country’s Departure From Standard Sezn. By the Associated Press. ROME, July 23.—Italian government bonds fell sharply and common stocks rose buoyantly today as the Stock Exchange reacted to a royal decree permitting the Government to lower the legal limit of gold coverage for currency sight obligation, fixed at 40 per cent in 1927. The lira held firm on the domestic market, losing only 1 centime. Consolidated Bonds, which form the majority of the public debt, fell off 1 point to 66—which is to be compared to the quotation of 86 when the Italo- Ethiopian dispute began. Treasury bonds dropped an average of 1 point each. Industrial and other stocks enjoyed rises ranging around 4 to 6 points. Metal and war equipment stocks were in particular demand. Fiat Motors rose 6 points. Formally on Gold. Banking circles agreed that Italy #till was formally on the gold standard. Some said the new decree might even have a salutary effect on the lira, since it would release several billion lira in gold, if necessary for purchases abroad. The use of gold direct, it was said, would absorb the lire abroad and thus prevent speculation. Solution for Purchases. Informed circles said the decree was Premier Benito Mussolini’s solu- tion to the problem of purchasing large supplies of raw materials abroad to | furnish the equipment for his army ' in East Africa. The point of depres- | sion was not stipulated in the decree, | but bankers said the government re- | served the right to carry the legal | Imit down to any level it deemed proper. Statements of the Bank of Italy ghowed that the coverage has declined gharply in the last few weeks, while| there has been an increase in foreign credits. Italy now has more than 6,060,000,000 lire in gold. May Drop Gold Standard.

DIPLOMATIC BREACH FEARED. | Italian Envoy's Absence From Recep- tion Resented.

Foreign financial observers said the | next step they expected would be the | devaluation of the lira as a result of | the expected fall in value of that coin | outside Italy because of the decree. | Some observers stated they believed | Italy would depart formally from the | cld standard at approximately the | ate war breaks out i Practically no credit is being granted here to Italy and short-term credits were recently withdrawn by banks and private individuals who have been call- ing in these credits.

Even the leading Italian government and municipal bonds! traded on the Stock Exchange con- | fined their declines to around 1% points on the average. | In the foreign exchange market the | lira was quoted at 8.08 cents, off 0.17 of a cent from Monday's New York close. | Ttalian government 7s lost 1} goints | at 69, while City of Rome 6%2s at 61)2 | were down 1% points, and Milan 6%2s at 5915 were off 1%.

The absence of the Italian from the official reception caused a sensation in the capital and the Minister's ac- tion immediately was regarded as an | Italian rebuff, which may cause an immediate complication in the already strained relations. On the other hand, a pro-American demonstration featured the morning. An immense multitude gathered out- side the palace and cheered wildly when William Perry George, the United States charge d'affaires, ar- rived for the reception. As George arrived, a sudden flutter of small American flags swirled through the great crowd and the Ethiopians shouted: “Long live America!” Offers Corps Good Wishes. ‘The reception was impressive, with an air of cordialiiy. Dr. Francis Janssens, the dean of the diplomatic corps, spoke, offering good wishes to the Emperor on his anniversary. Haile Selassie, seated on his throne, replied. A grim note of war preparations formed part of the colorful festivities as army recruits were drilling in the streets adjacent to the palace while champagne flowed inside. ARMS BAN DUE TO GO. British Cabinet Decision Tomorrow. LONDON, July 23 (#).—Reports that the British cabinet has decided to per- mit export of arms to Ethiopia circu- lated in diplomatic and parilamentary circles today, but an authority said that such a decision is not likely to be reached until tomorrow. This responsible source said the cabinet studied the diplomatic and technical aspects of the question yes- terday and determined to make a further study before its Wednesday session. The British government has advised the women and children of all British missionaries in Ethiopia to leave the country and warned the missionaries themselves to concentrate in and around Addis Ababa, according to in- formed sources. The warning was issued by the British missionary societies of Lon- don with a request that it be cabled immediately to Addis Ababa. In Ethiopia, it was said, there are less than 100 British missionaries with their wives and children. Expected Missing Sailors Saved.

By the Associated Press. An attempt to achieve a compro- mise agreement putting a limit on the world’s big navies is foreseer by many observers studying disclosures made at London yesterday. The British admiraity announced yesterday that it was abandoning naval ratios, such as the famous 5—5—3 formula limiting the fighting fleets of Great Britain, the United States and Japan. It was indicated Britain would seek other means of avoiding the costly naval race which so many students of the subject fear. While American officials declined any comment on the British announce- ment, observers saw in it material to build the framework for a new limita- | tion conference. The Washington treaty, which set up the 5—5—3 ratio in 1922, provides a conference shall be held in 1935 to discuss continuance of curbs on sea power. No naval power has made a definite move to call the session. Japan Refused Compromise. Great Britain did, however, take the | lead in calilng preliminary talks in London last Fall, designed to smooth | the way for the proposed conference. At those conversations, the British made overtures for a compromise agreement, which were turned down by the Japanese. As the conference ended, a joint statement by the three sea powers de- | clared the British would take steps to call another meeting “as soon as the opportune moment arrives.” Observers here believe Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, first lord of the ad- miralty, had the compromise in mind in his remarks yesterday. He said that while ratios were being discarded means were being sought to accom- plish the same result through a sys- tem of naval programs which would provide adequate defense and attempt to eliminate the offensive type. An agreement along those lines, ob- servers pointed out, would avoid desig- nating tonnage on a percentage basis. Because of the inferior ratio assigned Japanese in the Washington treaty formula that country had complained vehemently that her national pride was wounded. That was a point fre- quently mentioned when Japan abro- gated the naval treaty, effective De- cember 31, 1936. While no one at the State Depart- ment would comment on the London development, Senator Pittman, Demo- crat, of Nevada, chairman of the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Committee, said it was “just another move as constru- ing treaties only as scraps of paper.” Neutrality Considered. Renewed discussion of efforts to in- sure American neutrality in any future war coincided with the adoption of an attitude of rigid official silence toward Great Britain’s announce- ment. Some surprise was apparent at both the State and Navy Departments, but no official would comment. President Roosevelt devoted himself for more than an hour to the neutrality ques- tion. It was learned authoritatively afterward that the discussion had touched upon the possibility of legis- lation designed to prevent this country from becoming embroiled in foreign conflicts. Four bills affecting Ameri- can interests in war-time are pending. Present at the White House confer- ence yesterday were William Phillips, Acting Secretary of State; R. Walton Moore, Assistant Secretary, who han- dles neutrality questions in the State Department, and Norman Davis, rov- ing Ambassador at Large. Phillips is slated to go before the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommit- tee on neutrality legislation to present the administration’s views, probably this week.

TOKIO CHEERS NAVY STAND. Says Britain Coming to Understand- ing of Japan's Pesition. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, July 23.—The declaration by Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, first lord of the British admiralty, that England was abandoning the principle of na- val ratios received a warm welcome | today in all Japanese circles. | | Official circles said Great Britain | was coming to an understanding of Ja- | pan’s position, and that with British | | agreement, the United States prob- | ably would be unable to adhere to the present ratio system. Rengo (Japanese) News Agency dispatches said naval circles were en- thusiastic over the declaration, recall- ing the Japanese government's pro- posal for abandonment of naval ratios and establishment of a common upper limit. (The naval tonnage ratios of the leading powers were set at five for | Great Britain and the United States, to three for Japan, under the Wash- ington treaty of 1922, supplemented | | by the London treaty of 1930.) | The naval circles were represented | as being of the opinion that Sir Bol- | ton’s declaration meant Britain's par- | tial consent to the Japanese preposal, | but opposing his suggestion that the nations communicate to one another what their naval powers will be in 1942, The newspapers Nichi Nichi and Asahi said the navy was absolutely against a declaration of naval strength in 1942, fearing that it would perpetuate the present ratio system, with nations having strong navies in 1942 continuing to be strong and na- | tions with weak navies staying in that category. Britain lgominucd From First Page.) will have three battle cruisers here- | | tefore included in the home fleet. | These are the Hood, 42,000 tons, Brit- | ain’s biggest warship; the Renown | and the Repulse, 32,000 tons each The aircraft carrier Glorious, 22,500 tons, is joining the Mediterranean fleet, while the carriers Courageous and Furious already have been as- signed from the Mediterranean to the heme fleet. The first and third cruiser squad- | rens remain in the Mediterranean, the third being brought up to the | other’s strength by the addition of the new Arethusa, a 1931 program ship. Naval circles said that despite con- cessions made to Germany in the re- cent naval pact, the Reich would not be permitted to reach a strength in the North Sea exceeding Britain's home fleet. Experts estimated it would take at least four years for Germany to build her allotted fleet of about 400,000 tons, which is reckoned slightly larger than Britain’s present home fleet. ACTOR SUES ON AD NEW YORK, July 23 (#).—Hugh Sinclair, stage and screen star, has filed suit in Supreme Court to restrain the Postal Telegrabh & Cable Co. from using a poster containing pic- tures of himself and Elizabeth Berg- ner, actress, sending messages notify- ing friends of their appearance in a current film. “It is a most undwrified thing, to say the least,” Sinclair said, adding that he had not given permisison for the use of his name or picture.

C., TUESDAY, GRADE CROSSINGS T0 GET 3,700,000 Virginia Tentative Alloca- tions Toward Eliminat- ing Perils. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va., July 23--Tenta- tive allocation of approximately $3,~ 700,000 in Federal funds for grade crossing elimination in Virginia has been agreed on, but must undergo the test of a public hearing next week. This expenditure, though it consti- tutes the first large scale attack on the problem, will only “hit the high spots” of needed crossing eliminations, Highway Commissioner H. G. Shirley said, following a conference with railroad representatives yesterday afternoon. At the meeting allocations were. de- termined according to the mileage of carriers operating in Virginia. Fail- ing to agree on a list of projects sub- mitted by the roads, Mr. Shirley called for submission of another list. A number of the roads have vol- unteered to pay half the cost of rights of way for crossing eliminations, though they are not required to do 5o, Mr. Shirley said. Cities in which such projects are planned will be expected to pay the other half of the right-of-way expense, the commis- sioner said, while the State will as- sume this cost in the counties. ‘The total Federal allotment of about $7,000,000 for Virginia is designed to keep 5,000 men at work for a year. The present outlook is that Federally- financed projects can be begun in about 90 days, the Road Authority de- clared. Cabs (Continued From First Page.) route, 10 cents, and for dismissing a cab without use after it had been called by telephone, 20 cents. The commission also set $2 as the hourly rate for taxicabs when hired on that basis. This is not to be used in computing a charge for a regular pas- senger trip between fixed points. Commisison officials said the two new items of additional charges are those for the additional 10 cents for pieces and the additional 10 cents for each passenger in excess of two. The commission made the following findings of fact after its analysis of | testimony at the hearing and statisti- cal reports submitted by its own staff as well as taxicab interests: | “That patrons of taxicabs generally approve the present four-zone system | under the 20-30-50-70-cent rates. “That a large majority of the oper- ators favor continuance of said zones and zone rates. “That the gross earnings of drivers | are on the average approximately $6 for each 12-hour shift, that the oper- ating expenses vary materially and that on the average the net earnings approximate $2.50 for a 12-hour shift. “That there should be a charge of 10 cents for each piece of hand bag- | gage in excess of two, and “That in view of the existing law and the evidence contained in the | record, the zone boundaries and zone rates hereinafter fixed are reasonable and proper.” Fred A. Sager, commission chief en- gineer, gave testimony at the hearings that most of the complaints concern- | ing taxicab operations involved over- charges. He said that many com- plaints arose from the fact that cab patrons, in the habit of riding in cabs operating under the 20-30-50-70 rates, unwittingly boarded cabs operating on higher rates. He presented figures to show that 3,637 cabs were licensed as of June 30, this year, to do business on the 20-30-50-70 scale. His figures showed that at that time only 101 cabs operated on the 20-40-60-80 scale, and that but 11 cabs were using the 35- 60-95-81.30 scale. He showed also there were 18 cabs on one meter scale, 13 cabs on a different meter scale, two cabs on a third meter system, two cabs | on another meter system and one cab | with a still different meter system. | To show the wasis ot its antnority for the uniform rates and zone order, the commission qucted from the “rider” in the approprietion act. The commission said: ‘1t is clear from the above provision and from the his- tory of the taxicab legislation that the intent of Congress was to pro- hibit meter operaiion and to bring about uniform zone toundaries and zone rates. Prior to the passage of this provision, this ccmmission was without authority, Lecsuse of legisla- tive prohibition, to put into effect or enforce its prior order for meter opera- tion, which was sustained by the Su- preme Court of the District and United States Courtv of Appeals for the District, or i establish a uniform system of zones and rates.” Woman Dies of Injuries.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 23.—A second attempt to end the strike at the Century Manufacturing Co.’s shirt factory here will be made at a con- ference between a committee of the girl strikers, operators of the plant and Conciliation Commissioner How- ard T. Colvin of the Labor Depart- ment the last of this week, Charles Henry Smith, legal representative of the company, announced today. ‘The first conference, set for yes- terday afterncon, did not materialize when Morris Weinman, president of the company, refused to meet the strikers because his son, Sidney Wein- man, who has been operating the Alexandria plant, was not present. Meeting Date Indefinite. No definite day or place has been arranged for the second conference, Commissioner Colvin said today. He suggested yesterday that Weinman meet the strike committee either at the Labor Department in Washing- ton or at the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Weinman conferred with Colvin and Capt. of Police John 8. Arnold for al- most an hour behind locked doors at | the plant yesterday afternoon. He reiterated his threats to close the fac- tory and told both he would apeal to Gov. Peery of Virginia in an attempt to have picketing at the plant stopped. He dodged newspaper photographers by leaving the plant at the rear. Picketing Continued. Nine of the strikers continued the picketing throughout last night. Po- lice helped their vigil by bringing them a large watermelon, Although Mayor E. C. Davison an- nounced last night after meeting with the strikers that several girls would | obtain “mechanics’ liens” against the plant today to prevent removal of | goods or machinery in lieu of a week’s wages owed the plant employes, such action may not be necessary. Attorney Smith said the back wages would be paid today, which is the reg- ular pay day of the plant. | The strikers last night appointed a committee of six members to meet | with the operators of the plant at the grievance conference. They are Miss Reba Donald, chairman: Mrs. Lily | Anderson, Mrs. Virginia Hutchinson. Mrs. Lillian Bright, Mrs. Cora Smith and Mrs. Anne Green.

FUNERAL TOMORROW FOR JAMES CARROLL RELIGIOUS STRIFE GROWS IN IRELAND ‘Remember Belfast’ Slogan Appears on Houses. Girl Shot in Leg. By the Associated Press. BELFAST, Northern Ireland, July 23.—Fears of a widespread anti- Protestant attack in the Irish Free State received fresh impetus today as houses in County Meath and else- where were plastered with the slogan, “Remember Belfast.” Religious strife, arising from Orange- men’s celebration July 12 of the an- niversary of the Battle of the Boyne, spread extensively. Anti-Catholic out- breaks occurred in Protestant Ulster and anti-Protestant demonstrations in the Catholic free state to the South. This city, where the conflict orig- inated, became quiter today, although a 19-year-old girl, Mary Cunningham, was wounded in the leg last night during an exchange of shots in the Brookfield street area.
