Boise, Idaho, Aug. 11 (A)—Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, chair- man of the foreign affairs commit- tee, has prepared a statement in re- sponse to inquiries regarding his opinion of the pen letter from Georges Clemenceau, wartime pre- mier of France, to President Cool- idge. The letter, issued Sunday in Paris, contained an appeal not to treat the settlement of the French debt as a commercial matter. Clemenceau de- clared the proposed Bercnger-Mel- lon debt eement to be impossible of fulfillment and that it threatened the independence of France. In his statement Senator Borah said: “Clemenceau’s letter is so cruelly misleading as is his intimation that we are undetmining the indepen- dence of France, and so deliberately unjust where he refers to waiting for America to enter the war, and where he criticizes the United States for making a separate treaty of peace with Germany, and yet so pa- thetic in manifest love of his coun- try, that I prefer not to comment at length. He is one whose confound- ed wrath we can afford to ignore and whose malicious insinuations we can afford to pass by. It would seem hat if they have anything to say of a people whom they once hailed as their unselfish delivers they at least should speak the language of truth graciousness. The statement at we are trying to undermine the independence of I'rance, or that somebody dants to buy France, ap- proaches the absurd. X x x x “If they want to cancel their lebts let them include all debts and all reparations and show that bene- cancellation will go to hu- nd to betterment of the and not to the imperialistic schemes : now crushing the life out of people who were in no sense re- onsible for this wal This constant charge of injus- tice and usury on the part of th United States is simply not only un- ounded in fact, but dishonest in purpose.” YOUNGSTER OF EIGHT GHAINED UP IN YARD Newark Parents Adopt Inhuman Method of Punishment rope Newark, 11 (P—Shackled daily for months with a heavy chain about his neck, S-vear-old Salvatore Rossetti, one of ten children of Mr, and Mrs. Luigi Rosetti was freed to- day when neighbors reported his imprisonment to police The lad, said by his parents to be ungovernable, was chained every day to an old bootblack stand in the rear of his home, according to neighbors.

DETECTIVE IS MURDERED AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS Killed With Own Gun By Man He A Was Questioning—Slayer is Captured New York, Aug. 11 (A)—Detective John Singer was shot and killed with his own pistol at police head- quarters early today by Gene Pearce, a negro charged with auto- mobile theft, who escaped, but was recaptured. Singer brought Pearce back from | Hammond, N. J., where he was ar- rested by state police, and was p: paring to question him, The det, tive sat down and took off his coat, and Louis Kuku, owner of the stolen car, sat nearby. Pearce asked permission to get a drink, “Help yourself,” said Singer. Pearce helped himself, and when he turned away ,from the water cooler jerked Singer’s pistol from his holster, emptied it at the de-| tective, and fled, taking the weapon with him. A dozen officers from the next room ran after him and after a three-hour hunt got him. Kuku sought refuge under a desk during the shooting. Singer was 40, had been on the force 18 years, and leaves a widow and two children. Pearce fs de- seribed as a cook.

The entire interior of the store was in flames when the firemen arrived in res- ponse to an alarm from Box 42 at the corner of Main and East Main streets, and hardly an article of stock can be salvaged, it appeared to the fire department head. The fire appeared to have started about in the center of the store, where articles of clothing were on display on a rack. It spread in all directions, and was given impetus by the presence in its path of straw hats and other inflammable items of clothing. Had its discovery been de- layed a few minutes, everything in the store would have been totally destroyed, according to the firemen. The cause of the blaze could not be determined at once.

Hot Fight Ahead The governor's statement, which has been awaited since the demo« cratic state executive committes last Monday certified her .name with that of Moody’s for the priv mary run-off, presages a heated | two weeks' campaign for the demo- | cratic nomination, which in Texas means election. | No officlal statement as to her | plans had been made by Gov. Fer- | suson since her announcement two | days after the July 24 primary in | which she sald she would mot be a candidate in the run-off. | Mrs. Ferguson makes the Ku | Klux Klan her big issue, declaring | that the klan is celebrating Moody’s large vote in the first primary as “a Klan victory.” ¥ | “Moody's vote in the first pri- | mary was about 409,000, which was 1,77 short of a majority.
