GRAND JURY BACKS APPEAL OF HOOVER Gblnmmds Enlorcement Speech to Press and General Public Washington, May ¢ (—President Hoover's plea for obedience to law, expressed in his recent address at the annual meeting of the Associat- ed Press in New York. was taken as a text yesterday by the District of |Columbia grand jury. In a special report the grand jury commended the speech to the atten- tiow of all citizens and to news- papers of Washington, “The grand jury feels,” the report sald, “that it would be neglectful of its duty if it did not commend to the people of the District of Columbia a careful reading of the president's address and an appeal to the press and people to come forward in lead- ership to stamp out crime and dis- respect for law. “The nation's capital should be in the forefront of respect obedience and enforcement of the law, and the grand jury, as rep: senting the peo- ple in presenting persons for trial for criminal offenses, calls upon the people of the District of Columbia to weigh carefully their responsibili- ty as law abiding, law respecting and law enforcing citizens.” The jury noted an iIncrease in criminality and said that “from our observation, has, in a considerable degree been due to the prohibition act.” SOME PROGRESS ON' REPARATIONS (Continued from First Page) for extensive commercialization of the debt is the seed of danger to the German financial structure, since under the Dawes plan Germany is protected from making finjurions transfers. Commercialization of course would make such protection impossible, since bonds and thelr interest must be met or German credit seriously impaired. The present problem of the Amer- ican delegation is not even so0 sim- ple a one as having their new pro- posals accepted by the Germans. Once they have obtained this th-y must turn around and make settlement agreeable to the creditor nation delegations themselves. The allied proposals to Germany of 2,200,000.,000 mark annuiti:s (about $528,000,000), rising somc- what each year, was arrived at only after bitter haggling among the delegations, and has been declared to be irreducible.

Syme, of White Plains, who announced he had been engaged by two of Peacox's brothers. John M. Holzworth, who ordered the arrest of Eugene Bussey last night, withdrew. It was not an- nounced by whom Holzworth had been retained. 8yme, who interviewed his client this morning, said the defense would be bullt around Peacox’s contention that the killing of his wife was ac- cidental, unpremeditated and “the result of a struggle in which he was goaded by her taunts.” “I wag impressed by his apparent earnestness in his claim that the killing was an accident,” S8yme state- ed. 8Syme said he had just returned from a.vacation and had yct to learn ‘‘many facts concerning the case.” He had not determined the import- ance of Bussey's story and did not know whether he would use him in the trial or not. District Attorney Coyne however said he was prepared to hold Bus- sey for the good his testimony would do ‘‘either the prosecution or the defense.” Bussey has the right to ask for release on bail.

Traceski said in police court today as he imposed a fine of $15 and costs in the case of Pius Oshana 32, of 124 Linden street, on the charge of op- erating an automobile with defective brakes. “‘Many accidents could be prevented by good brakes,” he con- cluded. Officer Delbert Veley testified that he noticed a bakery delivery truck in front of Oshana's place of business on Lafayette strect yesterday after- noon, and he suspected that the brakes were not in proper condition because the front wheels weore turned towards the curb and the emergency brake was not set. When Oshana came out, the of- ficeg asked him if the brakes were in good condition and he replied that they were, but a test disclosed that the.emergency brake was use- less, while the foot brakes would not stop the truck within 15 feet while going at the rate of 15 miles an hour, on East Main street. Attorney A, 8. Aharonian entered & plea of guilly for Oshana and told the court the brakes had been put in condition since the arrest. Oshana thought they were working, having had them attended to recently, the attorney said, and he also told him that he proved to Officer Veley that the foot brakes were in condition.

Germon sald he did not mee the O'Brien car in time to avoid the collision. Drunk Smashes Windows Isadore Jacobowski, 41. of 98 Grove street, was fined $15 and coats for drunkenness. Judge Tra- ceski was satisfied that his action in breaking two windows at 92 Beaver street was the result of his intoxi- cated condition and he did not pun- ish him on the charge of .injury to private property. Mrs. Mary Zikwala testifed that Jacobowski wa# intoxicated yester- day forenoon aud fell against the windows. He was abeut to be taken away in a taxicab, she said, Judge W. F. Mangan, representing Jaco- bowski, said there wan no evidence of a malicious intent to do the damage, and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney W. M. Greensteln agreed.

One young woman wants to know if any special style of dress is required, either at the lo- cal or national contest. Spellers may pronounce a word after it is given, or not, at their own | option. They may ask for a defini- tion. The pronouncer, may at his own discretion, define a word a sec- ond time, giving a different defini- tion. If upon a second definition the speller still seems unfamiliar with the word, he or she shall be consid- ered as having miseed, Spellers must pronounce their let- ters loud enough to be heard without difticulty.

Woods, who spoke at a strawberry and ice cresm dinner given by the Nickel-a-Week club at the Y. M. C. A, last eve- ning, Mr. Woods traced the histery of the world and its great men from the days of ancient Rome to the present period. He said Jullus, Caeser was an example of the fact that men of superior gifts are thoss who possess outstanding individual- ity. He said Caesar was a busy man, he was in public life at the age of 123 and a world figure at 35, He | ruled all the east and in time con- quered all of Europe. “Rome fell in 476 because the Romans became siothful, and the people from France who had been taught the game war by Caemr, came down and conquered the Rom- ans, living in the lap of luxury,” he said, The speaker traced the develop- ment of the world's great men hrough the days of Charlemagne, ho carried the torch of Christian- ity to every nation in Europe;" Wil- liam, the Norman king, who defeat-. ed England and spread the influence of feudalism; “the age of the Ren. naissance; the days of Marco Polo, the development of the printing press, the Bible; Christopher Colum- bus; Oliver Cromwell and Napeleen. He brought his hearers te 1770 wher he pointed out the laying waste of Poland “a bleeding " sacrifics to the altar of civilisation” by the gov- \ernment of Moscow and Empress Catherine of Austria. Other great men of that period were DeKalb, Lafayette and Washington. The Civil War and the age of emancipation brought en the free. dom ef the negro slaves in America and influenced the freeing of mil- lions cf serfa in Russia and the Con- 80 slaves in Africa, he added, The present, age s {he r of ma- ehinéry the dpegker tolitinyed, and “represents in America the’seehm! lation of the best blood of .ell Kur- ope, assimilated into men and women of character who'love the American flag and the sanctity of the home,” “Men of individuality have bulit this mighty and mave #hade it what. .t Todividuality nieans -self- seitpoise, wif- power and seif-sacrifice.

It is far better to be a fail. ure than to march in rank and ster with those whose thinking is in the twilight between joy and sorrow.

Would Not Disqualify Zone Board Members Attorney Willam E. Hagearty, counsel for Mrs. Minnle Hagearty, who has petitioned for a change in zone on High atreet, has expressed willingness to have the petition heard by the hoard of adjustment without disqualifying members who are directors of the New Britain In. stitute, an objector, and it is likely that the matter will be heard mext Wednesday. When the petition came to the board af its last meeting, it was laid over because of the unusual condi- tions which for a time threatened to disqualify all but two members of the board. The favorable vote of five members being required to effect a change, it was thought other meth- ©ods of reaching a decision might be necessary. Mrs. Hagearty's plot is part of an isle of residence property located in an industrial area. She wishes to bufld a business structure, and a zone change was petitioned .
