MORE PROGRESS IS MADE TODAY British and French Members Os Conference Open Direct Negotiations The Hague. Aug. 13.—(U.R)—Further progress in the international reparations conference was made today when subordinate members of the French and British delegations opened direct' negotiations. Previously M. Adatchi of Japan and Baron Maurice Houtary and Premier Henri Jaspar of Belgium had been acting as inediaries. While they continued their role of go-betweens, Ijouis Loucheur, French labor minister, and M. Nay of England met F. W. Leith Ross and S. D. Waley of Great Britain, thus establishing first direct contact between these delegations since the recent controversy - over the Young plan. It is reliably reported that French i Premiere Aristide Briand will probably inconspicuously meet Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the cx- • chequer, whose demands that the > conference revise the Young plan, . paiticuiaily as to the provision reduci ing Great • Britain's reparations annuities brought about the crisis. Wednesday it now appears will be the decisive day in establishing whe- , ther the cqnference is actually mak--1 ing progress or merely marking time. , o— — Blaloon dance.

TO PAY DAWES HONOR IN NOME Os PROGENITORS Sudbury, Suffolk, Plans Party For American Ambassador ixmdon, Aug. 13.—(U.R)— In 1635 a atone mason named William Dawes left his home in Sudbury. Suffolk, and set sail for America. In 1929 one of his descendants. Gen. Charles Gates Dawes, left his home in America and set sail for England, as American ambassador to the Court of St. James. Sudbury desires to recognize officially the fact that the Dawes family prospered In America, and that the most notable member of the family has come back to England as official representative of the United Stateigovernment. So Sudbury is to give a party for General .Dawes. The ceremony is scheduled for early in October. The Freedom of the Borough will be bestowed upon the American ambassador. There will be a public luncheon followed by a special meeting of the council. The charming little town will do full justice to the occasion. The achievements of the Dawes family will be fittingly honored. Emigrated At 15 William Dawes was a boy of 15 when he boarded the ship “Planter” on April 6, 1635, and started west to found the American branch of the Dawes family. His father, William Dawes Senior, had gone out to America in 1628 with Governor Winthrop, founder of Boston and Salem, but returned the following year. He and hie wife returned on the “Ambrose” and a son was born - on the voyage. The boy was christened Ambrose. General Dawes would like to know more about the first William Dawes, for there is no trace of him in the family history except for the record of his round trip to the new world A great deal more is known about young William, founder of the Amer lean family. “He settled first in Braintree, Massachusetts,” General Dawes said in tracing the family history, “where he married Susanna, daughter of John and Susanna Mills of that place about 1641, when William was 21 years of age. A son, named in the records ' Ambrose'' after his s|iip-born uncle, was born in the same year. Baronetcy Extinct “In the year 1652 we find William Dawes settled in Boston where he built for himself a family mansion on the east side of a lane afterwards called "Sudbury Street.” Five generations of our family lived in this house until it was pulled down in 1775. William Dawes died in the year 1703 at the good old age of 83, leaving numerous descendants, from one of whom I am descended.” A privately printed record of the Dawes family, published in Boston in 1576, was compiled by Henry W. Holland for ’the New’ England Historical and Genealogical Society. General Dawes owns this work, which contains portraits and complete genealogical tree. The American branch of the Dawes family has always claimed the right to the arms of Abraham Dawes of Putney, who suffered under Cromwell and was made a baronet by Charles 11 at the Restoration. The baronetcy is now extinct. The shield bears three swans on a bend in a field of six battle axes. The crest is a drag on supported by a battle axe. —o t> I SEw i i iwi. ■ i - J Mr. and Mrs. Leon Gass are the proud parents of a seven and one-halt pound baby girl born yesterday afternoon at. their home on First street.

Stevens, 32; Vernon Wilkerson, 5, Miss Nile Stevens, 4.

Miss Helen Brockmeyer, 15, fell to tacks on a lower deck and her body was severed as the car in which she was a passenger passed over. The young man. Ralph E. Clark, 23. fell 40 feet to the ground and died of a broken neck and fractured skull. A heavy, wide leather strap which held them securely to the seat had been tightly fastened and inspected by two men before the car. loaded to ' capacity with 12 passengers, began 1 its fatal trip. Returned to the station, the two parts of the leather belt hung loosely 1 across the rear seat of the rear car in which the pair were riding. ‘ Police and men in charge of the concession agreed the straps and fasteners were in perfect condition and that one of the victims must have | unclasped the buckle. It seemed the , clasps operated too stiffly to diser.- , gage accidentally. Theories of suicide received scant I attention since parents and friends of . both declared Miss Brockmeyer and Clark never had met. i -7 ' ’ Says Prohibition Law Change Is In the Stars Hollis, Queens, N.
