P.)—A modification of Great Britain's position regarding reparations, indicated by Sir John Bradbury at a meeting of the reparations commission this afternoon, will make it possible for the commission to, leave Paris for Berlin next Sunday with a unanimous allied agreement on what measures will be imposed on Ger- many’s financial administration for the purpose of averting a total collapse of that country. The unanimous -decision to go to Ber- lin was taken after Sir John Bradbury had definitely made known that he, on behalf of Great Britain, was willing to vote to declare Germany involuntary de- fault of her agreement provided she .re- fused to carry out within a reasonable time roquests for the internal reforms THich the commission will: make in Ber- in. This was a big surprise to the repara- tions commission, since it was a_decid- ed concession to the Frencyh viewpoit. Heretofore the British representative had refused to declare Germany .in de- fault under any concitions, and also had declined to be a party to any move which might be construed as interfering with Germany's internal affairs. Sir John had told M. Barthou, the French representative on the commission, that he thinks the commission has the right vggest” certain drastic re- forms ¥'s internal ~financial system, to the end that th ebudget may be balanced and the mark stabilized. Should Germany fail to make every ef- fort to put the proposed reforms into effect and thereby jeojardize her indem- nity payments, Sir John thinks the time would then have arrived for the commis- sion formally to declare Germany invol- untary default. 1t is not unlikely that the British al- ready have obtained certain concesesions from the French government in return. It is reported” that these may take the form of indefinitely postponing the Brus- SUNDAY sels financial confererice. Having. the entire reparations problem in the hands of the commission, apoint upon which Sir John Bradbury has been strongly in- sistent. The fact that the committec on guar- ntecs is not to accompany the repara- tions commission to Berlin is taken here to mean that France alse has altered her viewpoint since the original French plan would have entrusted the imposi- tion of the new reforms to the commit- tec. The exact character of the measures to Le imposed on Germany will be decided by the commission between now and Sun- | day, certain general ideas already hav- ing been broadly agreed to. The com: mission. however, realizes that inquiry in Herlin may force changes, and they therefore will leave ‘their decisions open to possible alterations. The gravest of reports concerning the financial condition in G have reached “the” TepErationt ing the last two days. These reports had much to do with the decision of the com- mision to proceed to Berlin. Rowland W. Boyden, the American unofficial observer on (he commission, was one of the first to suggest advigability of an inquiry on the ground as the best means for determ- ining what additional reforms - should be_imposed. Tshe members of the commissi agred that the time has come radical action on of the complete Germany is to be avoided. The British still hold that long moratorium will be necessary o place Germany on her finan- clal feet. to the German _situation financial breakdown af SENTENCE OF AUTOISTS WHOSE CAES STRUCK PERSONS New Haven, Conn., Oct. 24.—Sentence was imposed by Judge L. P. Waldo Mar- vin in superior court today on five auto- ists whose cars had struck and killed persons, the cases coming over from last week when the defendants had entered pleas of nolo contenders on charges of criminal negligence or automobile homi- cide, .

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1$25,000For Guardian|“Dry” Ship Rling to of Baby Guy Stillman John A. Mack Awarded That Sum by Supreme Court Justice Morschauser—Oth- er Allowances. White Plains, N. Y., Oct. 24.—Supreme Court Justice Morschauser today award- ed John E. Mack, guardian of Baby Guy Stillman, $25,000 for his services in de- fending the infant against the charge of illegitimacy brought by James A. Still- man, millionaire banker, in his suit for divorce from Mrs. Anne U. Stillman. He also allowed Mr. Mack $4,901.14 which the guardian reported he had expended in Guy's behalf. The court also allowed Referee Daniel J. Gleason, who heard evidence in the case, compensation at the rate of §150 a | day for 148 days devoted to the case—a. total of $22,200. Justice Morschauser also the final order in Stiliman's d denying him a divorce and affirming the legitimacy of Baby uy. who Stillman had alleged to be the son of Fred K. Beauvais, Indian guide, who was named as co-respondent. The order held that Stillman had failed to prove Mrs. Still- man guilty of adultery, but that Stillman himself had been proven guilty of adul- tery with Florence Leeds, former show sirl. Counsel for Stillman had fought the granting of compensation to Guardian Mack, contending that he was entitled in the case. They also had contended Referce Glea- son's fees as “exorbitant.” In disposing of these objections, Jus- tice Morschauser recalled that it had been shown Stillman was willing to spend money “to purehase evidence,” re- ferring to letters alleged to have beem written to Beauvais by Mrs. Stillman, for which the banker paid $13,000. “To meet infant’s name. unusual diligence, ability and indusiry were required of the guar: ian. How well he met these requirements is attested by the results.” In view of the excentional rendered, and taking into Mr. Mack’s standing at the bar, the court s2id, he feit that $25,000 was a moderate fee for his services, extending over two yvears. He also commended Mr. Mack for his attitude in setting no value on his services consideration vices but leaving it to the court to de- clde what they were worth. and déclared that throushout the case “Mr. Mack had thought more of his duty as an officer of the court than about the fees he was going to get.” The only matter he respect to Referee Gleason's fees was whether 148 days was too long him to have sent on the case. Stiliman's lawyers conceded it had been agreed he was to have $150 a day. ed out that actual trial of the case had consumed only thirty days, and contend- ed that sitv more days should bge been suflicient to study thE evidence %nd the law and to write the report. The court held 145 days was mot an unreasonable time to use in hearing and digesting the case—the record of which consumed about 2.700 pages. Besides his fees as referee, Mr. Gl n was allowed $1,700 to pay the stenogra- phers who made the revord.

Each had a heart, a_stomach.ani a liver, but the last mentioned organs were joined. All organs functioned. The twins were .born facing each other. Physicians regarded the case an excep- tional one. The medical books whicn were looked into showed a somewhat similar case in Parls in 1571. The autopey came about through the deaths being reported by Medical Ex- aminer Dr. E. H. Johnson of Naugatuck, who had been asked for a death certifi- cate as the mother had been attended by 2 midwife who had no authority to sign the certificate. Because of professional interest Coromer Mouzani was notified and word was sent to doctors to attend the autopsy, Many photographs were taken during the autopsy.

So dense was the crowd of mourners that police reserves had to be called for one service uptown and another down- town, to clear the way Long after the two lines of hearses had crossed East rivér spans on their way to the cemeteries, cries and sounds of mouning could be heard. Another tragedy was parrowly averted at one of the funerals, held on stecet. Just as the hearses were arriving and the crowd of mourners assembling, a heavy iron Jadder, from no apparent cause, fell from a firc escape on a spot which soon afterwards was filled with weeping humanity. No one was Injured. The Fifth street service was held for six members of the family of Abraham Sugarman. Both Sugarman and his wife escaped. Sugarman had to be supported by rela- iives as he stepped from a carriage to attend the outdoor service. Mrs. Sugarman was too ill to attend. She lay on a couch in the apartment of a relative living in Harlem. Hearses bearing the bodies of her five children and a sop-n-law journeved six miles uptown in order that she might gaze upon the procession. More thousands attended the uptown service, held at a synagogue on 11Sth streel. Thera Mrs. Nathan Siiver buried her entire family—husband and four children. After Mrs. Silver, grief-torn and shak- ing, had sobbed out a praver for her dead, the caskets were closed and 2 rabbi began the services for the departed. On the way to the cemetery, this pro- ion. passed the burned tenement. The wailing broke out afresh at the sight of the smoke-stajned structure. cet — ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW PASSENGER SHIP LINE Washington.

London, Oct. 24.—(By Premier list of the A. P.)— Bonar Law tonight issued a the principal members of hi ministry. His own name is not. men: tioned In the official list, which leaves it to be inferred that he takes no other office than that of prime minister and first lord of the treasury, the latter be ing a post without specified duties be- yond those attaching to the premiership. Marquis Curzon retains his post as | secretary for foreign affairs and will be ers in Abingdon street for his political leader of the house of lords. Peet retains <he Indian secretaryship. Stanley Baldwin, as expected, goes to the exchequer, but it has not yet been announced whether he will be leader in the house Of COMuwmu, The Earl of Derby at the war office resumes a post which he has held before. The prime minister had the greatest dif- ficulty with the law office. It is no- ticeable that Lord Carson's name does not appear in the new ministry, Viscount Cave becoming lord high chaacellor.

P., for the Ri- pon division of Yorkshire, There are still a number of appoint- ments to be made, and it is notiosapie that the five offices held under Premier Lloyd George by Austen Chamberlain, H. A. L. Fisher, T. J. McNamara, Sir Hamar Greenwood and the Earl of Craw- ford and Balcarres, who all joined Lioyd George in the wilderness, are nmot yet filled. It is expected that the office of chief secretary for Ireland will be abolished and that the ministry of labor will be merged into some other depart- ment. The prime minister held his first in- scount No- formal cabinet council of the ministers’ already appointed at a small dinner party at his residence tonight to dis- cuss gencral lines of policy previous to his visit to Glasgow, when it is believed he will make his political pronunciamen- to. Election campaigning went swing today, and as light emerge from the confusion into w sudden coliapse of the coalition the political world, two distinct dencies are becoming evident. The first, and most important, is the foar ev- idently animating all the other parties of the unknown quantity in the labor vote of the electorate. Labor has been by far the most suec- cessful of the various parties in all the bre elections since the elections of 1918; moreover, It is known that the labor party is better organized for elections than any previous occasion and that it will have a greater number of candi- dates in the field than any other party except the conservatives. Hence, there is, considerable justification for the ap- prehension_entertained. 1t is quite possible that this apprehen- sion “accounts for the second notable tendency, namely, the desire of the con- servatives to do everything possible to avoid accentnating the cleavage in their party, There is no doubt that Mr. Bonar Law stll hopes for eventual reconcilia- tion with those conservative leaders who remained faithful to Liloyd George and the real motive for the wish to heal the split in the party is the hope of counter- ing labor’s expected attack on property. Perhaps the most notable event of the day has been Reginald McKenna's frank support of the Bonar Law administra- tion. This must be a tremendous disap- pointment to the Asquithian liberals and is at the same time an enormous asset to the new administration. Whether Mr. McKenna will return to. active political life in the sense of joining the new ad- ministration or becoming identified with the unionist party i3 still unknown, and probably dependz on the course of future events. The motive ot his new turn, however, is the same as that animating all the other parties, as revealed In the rescent speeches of Austen Chamberlain, Win- ston Churehill and even in the manifesto of the Asquithian or independent, lib- erals fear of ‘socialism and the nation- alization of industry. There Is mani- festly fear of the advent of a labor gov- ernment, with attacks- on ‘capital, in the shape of a levy on capital, and upon private_enterprise in trade and industry. The speech delivéred hy Arthur Hen- derson, one of the prominent labor lead- ers, last. week, before it was .known that coalition was collapsing and a gen- eral election was coming, has been large- 1y responsible for this development. In his speech Mr. Henderson said that “la- bor has declared war on private onter- prise,” and he made other similar state- probably have toned down had he known an_election was 8o mear. - ‘With regard to the question of protec- tion, Mr. Bomar Law, although he it strongly in favor of tarlft reform, it is thought to be going slow out of defer- of Derby, whose po- Retains His Post as Se the cotton mcustry i tectiow” The Asquithian ele rTm against pro- on manifesto I8 likelihood of a reunion between 1 op | posing sections of the liberal party, ThE Lioyd George idea of creating a new Centre party seems not to be making much progress.
