The French plane, Yellow Bird, has remained on the ground. since it was taken on two test flights earlicr this week. Jean Assolant and Rene Le Fevre said at that time they probably would not fly again until they took off for Paris. Roger Q. Willlams and Lewis A.

Long Effort Ends Paris, June SUP—The experts on reparations, leaving for their homes today after four months of weary l'work, hoped the Young plan. the out- growth of their labors, would be ac-4 cepted by the interested governments | about as it stands. Any but minor amendments, it was outlined, by which Germany will pay | ver 59 years a debt having a cap- ital value approximately of $5.500,-] 000,000, and an eventual value of | about $26,964,000.000. | Believe Ratification Certain i ‘The general belief was the plan | would be ratified. although not with- out some opposition, by each of the creditor nation governments and by Germany, on the principle that while it was not all that could be desired it was the best obtainable under the circumstances. Emile Moreau, governor of the Bank of France and head of the French delegation epitomized senti- ment among the experts thus, “The report is not entirely satisfactory to anybody but it is highly satisfactory to éverybody.” g Diplomatic circles foresaw another conference soon of diplomats and | financiers to arrange application of the plan. The same conference, it was believed, might take steps for & committee to control the Rhine sone when finally it is demilitarized and to pave the way for evacuation by allied troops. Unless some hitch develops this evacuation might ma- terialize as early as middle autumn. To Discuss New Bank Such a committee also would breaden the propect for the pro- posed international bank and com- plete its constitution, which the ex. perts left merely in outline.

D. Saxe in police court today. He was driv- ing an automobile truck on Wenst | Main street on the afternoon of | April 27 when it struck Jean Fortin, |8 years old daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Fortin of 17 Lincoin street, who was crossing from the north side of West Main street to | Lincoln street. The child sustained a fracture of the skull and other linjuries from which she has recov- |ered. | Judge Saxe, after hearing the tes- timony, said it is the duty of mo- torists to exercise great care at all |times, especially at dangerous cor- ners such as West Main and Lincoin streets. Driving at the rate of 20 to 22 miles an hour might not be t00 fast ordinarily but under cer- tain conditions it constitutes reck- |less driving. Bonds for an appeal were fixed at $100. Judge W. K.

Ellinger testified that he and Officer Harper investigated the accident shortly after it hap- pened. Woods told him he was driving east on West Main street and was looking into Lincoln street, (8o he did not see the girl in time to avoid striking her. Marks on the pavement showed that the wheels of the truck dragged with brakes set, for a distance of 35 feet and the distance from the spot where the rear wheels stopped to the place where the girl was picked up was 46 feet., 4 inches. Officer Harper testified that Woods told him Joseph Crowley saw the girl and applied the emer- gency brake from his seat beside him. Alexander Mackay of 173 Lin- coln street testified that he was driving north on Lincoln street towards West Main street. He stopped o await a chance to enter West Main street and heard the brakes of the truck. .He saw the girl appear “from nowhere” - and when she was struck she was thrown east on West Main street. out of his range of vision com- pletely. There were cars parked-at the curb on the north side of West Main street and he believed the girl came from between them, al- though he could not be certain. He estimated the speed of the truck with brakes set, at 15 miles an hour. One of the men jumped out of the ftruck and picked up the girl, driving away with her. Lawyers in Tilt Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein asked the witness wheth- er or not he recalled having told an officer the day after the accident anything about the speed of the fruck and Judge Mangan objected to it. A tilt ensued and Mr. Green- stein read from the police report which quoted the witness as having said the truck was going at the rate of 25 miles an hour in his judg- ment. Judge Mangan maintained that it was unfair to offer such evi- |dence and Mr. Greenstein contend- {ed that it was proper for the pur- |pose of refreshing the recollection {ol’ the witness.

Driver Gives Versiun Woods testified that he was ériv- ing at the approximate rate of°2¢ or 22 miles an hour behind @ sodsi which was about 50 feet away. A trolley car was coming towards him and after he passed it about in froat of the A. & P. store he looked vp Lincoln atreet to his right. Crowiey called “hey” and pulled up the emergency brake. Woods did not see the girl, who came from his lett. The foot brake was not applied be- fore_the girl was struck, he said. Joseph Crowley of 101 Stewart street, owner of the truck, testified that he saw the giyl about four fest from the truck. ' fhe was runmng across the street and he called to Woods «nd pulled up the emergency brake. As to the noise of the brakes he said there was somethirg about his truck that causes them to “squeal” when the truck is golng at the rate of only § miles an hour. Too Fast, Greenstein Insists Judge Mangan repeated his mo- {tion for a discharge on the ground ' that Woods was not reckless and there was no criminal lability. Mr. Greenstein replied that the truck was going toa fast for the particuar corner where the girl was struck. It was unusual, he said. for & person seated on the right a: |Crowley was, to see a person com- ing from the left, when the driver did mot see her.

His request for a continuance until June 11 was granted. Dufene was +driving a Spring Brook lce Service Co. truck when it collided with an automobile driv- «n by Miss Rose Fitzpatrick of 566 Arch street about yesterday afternoon at Elm and Chestnut streets. Officer Clavence Kumm found that a trolley car was turn- ing cast on Chestnut strcet from Elm street and the Fitzpatrick car was going south on Elm street but had come to a stop waiting for the trolley car to complete the turn. { The truck swung around behind the trolley car or the wrong side of the | street, according to the officer. and | struck the Fitzpatriek car. Truck und car were extensively damaged and it was necessary to release the air from the tire in the left frent wheel of the Fitzpatrick car and put on the power to get the front ‘bumper of the truck away from the left front wheel of the cai An examination of the brakes dis- closed that the emergency brake would not hold.

Regalis testified tnat he was going to Plainville to bring nis employer, Michael Daunih, a baker, to this city. Attorney Harry M. Ginsburg represented Re- galis. Judge Saxe remarked that there are altogether too many accl- dents on the highways and too much reckless driving. Intersection Collision Edward J. 8mith, 26, of 17 Rich- ards street, pleaded not guilty to the charge of violation of the rules of the road and was fined $5 without costs. He was arrested about § o'clock last night after a collision at the corner of Hart street and Corbin avenue hetween his car and one driven by Arthur Wallace of 51 Belden street.
