Licenses Is Latest | Corning, N, Y., Jan. 16.—Evidence ©f the counterfelting of automobile plates for use by bootleggers and “others, to whom licenses have been @enied s believed to have been un-| earthed by officials of the Corning | Automebile club. Eight members of the Corning elub recently have received letters | asserting that legal proceedings had been instituted against them to re- cover damages alleged to have been done in accidents in New York and intimating that a settlement could be made. As each of the men who Teceived the letters was not in New | York at the time of the alleged ac- | cident, an investigator was sent to meet complainants. In several cases it was found that the cars which figured in the ac- cidents were of different make than | those for which the licenses were issued. Pilot of Historic NC-4 Missing in So.

The forelgn office considers these articles among the most vital fea- tures of the treaty. Only by with- drawing concessions of equal werth to the United States would Germany consider herself Indemnified for the of these provisions, it 1s declar- . This would practically mean the nullifying of the present treaty, It is pointed out, and denying the prin- ciple of the most favored nation clause which Germany is trying to observe in all the post-war trade agreements negotiated. CABINET CRISIS INGERMANY FNDS Al Factions Agreed That Settle- ment is Good Thing By The Associated Prees. Berlin, Jan. 16.—The fact that the long-drawn-out cabinet crisis has come to a definite conclusion with the formation of the new cab- inet headed by Dr. Hans Luther as chancellor appears to be the one point on which the newspaper or- gans of the varifous parties are in general agreement. Only a few of the editorlal commentators are in- clined to cast a favorable horoscope for the new ministry, which reich- stag circles point to as at the mercy of the clerical and democratic par- ties, while the socialists have sworn it undying enmity. “This is not a one-day mas- querade of nationalistic and monar- chistic desperadoes,” says the so- cialist Vorwaerts, “‘but an organized and determined attempt to change the trend of national events in Ger- many—which makes it an imme- diate menace to social development, in particular.” ‘While Chancellor Luther’s cabi- net on paper gives the impression of comprising a decorous hourgeois by Cuno as chancellor, the circum- stances under which it sprang into existence and the motives which the liberals believe to have actuated the men who sabotaged Chancellor Marx’s efforts to reconstruct a lib- eral government on a broad parlia- mentary basis are the reasons for the mistrust with which the liberal parties view its coming into office. TO FILM DEATH VALLEY. San Diego, Cal, Jan. 16.—A mo- tion picture concern, assisted by mil- itary avlators, is to make plctures of Death Valley, one of the most desos, late stretches in Western America, according to an announcement made today by Colomel Harry Graham, commanding Rockwell Field. He sald that authority for flights had been granted. Two alrplanes will be used for the dangerous task, and ex- traordinary pre¢autions will be taken to insure the safety ot the pilots. LA FOLLETTE'S 13 VOTE Washington, Jan. 16.—Senator e . La llette’s 13 electoral votes as the independent candidate for president were delivered by a SOVIETS PETITION LEAGUE MEMBERS Two Ave Refusals and Third Is Affirmative The Assoctated Pross, Geneva, Jan, 16.—Although Sovlet Russia is not a member of the leaguo of nutions she smashed all By records even for members, today, by forwarding three notes to the Geneva peace organization, League ofticials' comment was: “Anyhow | Moscow is at lcast iInterested in what we are doing.” Ioreign Minister Tchitcherin's | first communication was a flat re- | fusal by Russia to adhere to the compulsory arbitration clause of the permanent court of international Justice. All countries had been in- vited to adhere to this clause, In his second note, M, Tchitcherin announced Russia’s refusal to ad- here to the convention for simpli- fication of customs formalitics, eluborated last year at Geneva in the presence of the American cham- bers of commerce. The third communication from the Russian foreign minister was more affirmative in nature. He accepted in principle the invitation to send delegates to the speclal league of nations’ committee for study of the question of unification of tonnage in inland navigation. League officlals said they were not surprised at the refusals con- tained in the first two notes. They pointed out that when the dispute between Finland and Russia over the frontier of eastern Karella was hrought before the world court, M. Tchitcherin refused to recognize the Jjurisdiction of the court, complain- ing that the league was a capital- istic organization. Acceptance of the proposition to study the navigation problem is believed to indicate, however, that Russia is ready to continue to co- operate with the league in ecsnomic and financlal- technical matters. She has already participated in con- sideration of health problems and took a prominent part in the naval conference at Rome last year.

At the end of De- cember 1922 the total was $30,845,- 626,000, while at the same period in 1912 1t was but $4,850,460,000, ‘While the greatest increase ap- peared In the federal debt, because of the far, the debt increase of-states was nearly threefold and that of municipalities and other subdivisions doubled. The federal government in 1912 owed $1,028,664,000, while in 1922 1t owed $22,155,886,000. The total of state indebtedness in 1912 was $345,- 942,000, while in 1922 it was $935,- 544,000, Other civil divislons owed $3,475,954,000 In 1912 and $7,754,- subdivision to $71.32.

The debt total in 1922 made the per capita obligation of each citizen of the United States, adult or child, $283.70. In 1912, the Indebtedness per capita was $49.97. Apportion- ing out the items of per capita in- debtedness, the report said that in 1922 the federal government's obli- gations were responsible for, $203.78 of the total. The debt of states for $8.64 and the debt of the municlpal subdivisions ao $71.32. The greatest proportionate debt increas was in the state accounts of Oregon, where the increase of $39,- 952,000 in bond issues represented 495.8 per cent. The next greatest perceptage increase was In the debt of drainage districts and other mu- nicipal subdivisions of Florida, which PUZZLE OVER THIS ONE' Last Lines for This Limerick Must Be in the Herald Office i by 10 o'clock next morning.
