FRANCE BARS WAY TO DEBT r PLAN SUCCESS Paris Government Blocks Pact by Refusal to Make Concession. ' MORROW CALLED IN Houghton Also Will Confer With Hoover, in Hope of SolutionBY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Pres* Staff Correspondent U WASHINGTON, June 30.—0n the ■ eve cf the day by which President ■Hoover had hoped his debt suspenHsion program would be accepted ■ universally—July I—all Interested H nations have agreed to it “in prin- ■ ciple” except France. Despite pessimistic reports from 11 Paris, American officials remained H hopeful today that France would if enter the pact soon. France’s isolation was emphasized I in one of the most pointed adminisi tration statements issued since the I debt negotiations began. After reI reiving telephonic reports at the ' White House from Secretary Mellon, in Paris, acting Secretary of State Castle said: “It is our understanding that all governments have agreed in principle to the President’s plan except the French government. Some difficulties have arisen in reconciling the French position with the spirit of the President’s proposal. Discussions are continuing between I Ambassador Edge and Secretary ■ Mellon and the French ministry.” Morrow Is Summoned Meanwhile. Mr. Hoover summoned two more advisors, one particularly well-informed on international finance, the other personally conversant with conditions in Germany. They are Senator Dwight W. Morrow of New Jersey, financier and diplomat, and Alanson B. Houghton, former ambassador to Germany and Great Britain. Asa partner in the international banking house of J. P. Morgan, Morrow learned the intricacies of | intergovernmental finance as few men know it. Later, as ambassador to Mexico, under Presidents Coolidge and Hoover, he solved the delicate international tangle resulting from Mexico’s oil laws, which a part of American big business considered confiscatory. Still later he was a member of the American delegation to the i London naval conference, and was [ considered one of the leading spirits I of the conference. Houghton, too, knows the finer points of diplomacy, but he probably will be most valuable to Mr. Hoover as an authority on conditions in Germany, where he lived for some time. Two Snags in Way Until Monday night some officials had hoped that an agreement “in principle" with France could be announced. These hopes were shattered after Mellon, who had conferred with Premier Laval following a French cabinet meeting, reported by long distance telephone to the White House. Mellon reported that the French had not agreed to the plan in sufficient detail to warrant announcement of an agreement. He said also that further negotiations would have to be delayed until Wednesday morning. The French government must go before the senate today to answer questions regarding the debt program. Two technical details, it is understood are barring a full understanding with France. First is the French contention that some of the money paid into the bank for international settlements by Germany must be loaned to southeastern European countries. The second disputed point, it is understood, concerns the term of years in which Germany may compensate France for the reparations she will forego this year. TYPHOID RUNNING WILD University Man’s Auto, Containing Vials of Germs, Are Stolen. By United Press CHICAGO, June 30.—Dr. T. P. Churchill, pathologist instructor at Northwestern university, said today he hoped the thieves who stole his automobile would use a little care when handling several vials kept in a pocket of the machine. The vials contained enough typhoid germs to create a city-wide epidemic, he told police. Dr. Churchill expressed hope that the r thieves would destroy the germs even if they didn't return the auto. FESS STILL IN SADDLE Thinks He's Good for Another Year as G. O. P. Chairman. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 30.—Senator Fess of Ohio now expects to continue as chairman of the Republican national committee until j, the G. O. P. convention assembles a year hence. “It looks as if I will remain on until the convention next June,” he said after a call at the White House to bid President Hoover good-by before leaving on a vacaF tion trip.

DOWN WITH ‘YIPES’!

Oxford Street Puts Curse on Noise

OUIET of an intensity to make the eardrums ache soon will prevail on North Oxford street, if residents on the thoroughfare between New York and Michigan streets have their way. No longer will residents be awakened at 4 a. m. by rattling of milk bottles, screaming of one milk wagon driver to another, or raucous of "Yipe” emanating from the driver’s seat of a rumbling ice wagon. Gone also will be the ear-splitting clamor of bread wagon bells and the unintelligible bellowing of newsboys at 6 a. m. Sundays.

DARROW COMES TO STEVE'S AID Famed Lawyer Will Appear Before High Court July 7. Clarence Darrow, famed criminal lawyer, will appear before the Indiana supreme court, July 7, to Join the fight for freedom on habeas corpus of D. C. Stephenson, nowserving life sentence for murder. Darrow Is expected to argue against the writ of prohibition issued by the high court preventing a habeas corpus hearing on grounds taken by Chief Justice Clarence R. Martin in dissenting to the writ issuance. Martin pointed out in a memorandum filed with the court clerk that a writ halting habeas corpus proceeding should only be Issued in time of invasion or such other crisis when the government is threatened. “This case hardly can be considered a national emergency,” Darrow commented in Chicago upon announcement of his entry into the case. “Stephenson’s appeal nas been pending before the supreme court of Indiana since 1928.” The temporary writ of prohibition was secured by Attorney-General James M. Ogden and prevents Judge Harry Crumpacker of the Laporte circuit court from proceeding with the habeas corpus hearing. Argument to make the writ permanent, or have it dissolved, was scheduled for Wednesday, but the date has been changed to July 7, at 2 p. m., when Darrow will appear.

GUARDS FOR HOMES Cops to Keep Sharp Watch During Vacation. Indianapolis police today are ready to end your worries about burglars while on vacation. Police Chief Mike Morrissey said he will continue the summer policy of the department in paying special attention to homes and business places that are closed while their owners are basking in the sun at some lake. Persons who request their property be guarded against vandals and thieves will find the patrolman on the beat and radio squad cars watching closely, Morrissey said. The system was inaugurated by the late Jerry Kinney, while he was chief. CAPONE MAY SEE FIGHT Cleveland Promises Arrest' if A1 Tries to Attend Bout. By United Press CLEVELAND. June 30.—One of the out-of-town guests who will come here for the Max SchmelingWillie Stribling heavyweight fight was reported today to be A1 Capone, Chicago gangster, who was promised arrest if the report is true. “We’ll throw Capone in jail if he comes here for the fight or any other purpose, just as we would any other undesirable” asserted Safety Director Edwin Barry, who himself opposed staging the fight here. Barry said the city was privileged to arrest the gangster despite his position as a “ward” of the federal government who will sentence him next month for escaping income tax payments. JEWS, GREEKS AT WAR Violent Rioting Again Breaks Out at Salonica. By United Press SALONICA, June 30.—Violent communal rioting between Greeks and Jews broke out again today. The Jewish quarter was afire. Ten were killed and fifty wounded in fighting. One estimate said 200 houses were burned. The government is considering a proclamation of martial law to restore order. Feeling is running high. 1931 ACTS DELIVERED Governor Expected to Proclaim Them Effective at Once. Last delivery to the counties of the acts of 1931 is expected to be completed early this afternoon by the secretary of state’s office and Governor Harry G. Leslie will issue the proclamation declaring them effective either late this afternoon or Wednesday, it was announced at the statehouse today.

IT MAY BE THE HEAT, OR MAYBE THE HUMIDITY, OR EVEN PLAIN STUPIDITY

IN this hot weather funny things happen. A glance at the police blotter today shows: Bandits won’t run in hot weather; ice cream wagon drivers who ply their wares for the relief of the commonwealth are robbed; money isn’t safe on ice; and some people try to sell furs. A Negro gunman, tired from the heat of the last few days, shuffled into a Standard grocery at 1817 South Meridian street this morning. He asked Fred C. Miller, manager, for 5 cents’ worth of apples, and placed a dime on the counter.

First step in conversation of the neighborhood into a haven of peace and quiet, where residents can sleep all day, if they desire, without rude disturbance, was taken today, when a petition seeking re-

lief was presented to the safety board. It was signed by thirty-nine residents of the street. “We are asking relief from a series of nuisances that interfere greatly with the peaceful enjoyment of our property,” the petition recites. “We do not object to persons making an honest living, but their business should be regulated and conducted so as not to be a nuisance.” Objection No. 1 in the petition is to “milk trucks without mufflers,

or with cutouts open, appearing at 4 a. m., drivers and helpers making too much noise in rattling crates and bottles.” Next is “a continuous stream of ice wagons and trucks with men shouting and ringing bells to attract attention, from early morning until evening, some operating on a thirty-minute schedule.” Bread wagons from 6:30 a. m. until late afternoon with “unnecessary bell ringing,” and the “shouting and chattering of countless newsboys who appear on the streets early each Sunday morning to disturb our much-needed rest,” complete the complaint. But, as far as the safety board

is concerned, the noises may continue to disturb resting residents on Oxford street. “I suppose the next thing we’ll have to do is to take care of squalling babies,” Donald Morris, board member said. “Are we supposed to nurse everybody in this town? Maybe we’d better send Chief Mike Morrissey and his officers out there to put them to bed at night.” Charles Myers, board president, suggested residents complain to companies whose employes are disrupters of the peace. RU TH IS ~GOiNG~H 0M E Girl Flier, In Plaster Cast, to Be Taken to Rye in Plane. By United Press ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, June 30.—Miss Ruth Nichols rested easier today and said she was ready to return to New York by airplane Wednesday, despite the" fact she is in a plaster cast. The Rye (N. Y ) flier, badly hurt in a crackup at the start of a projected trans-Atlantic flight here last week, will be accompanied by Miss Mabel Jones, a nurse. They will fly in the plane piloted by Clarence Chamberlin, trans-Atlantic airman. FIGHT ‘FREE LOTTERS’ Realtors Renew Battle on Rackets and Schemes in City. Renewal of the fight waged against free lot schemes and rackets will be resumed by the Indianapolis Real Estate board at a special meeting of the board of directors of the board this afternoon to hear complaints against several local real estate corporations. Information gathered by William L. Elder, city controller and realtor, and Frank E. Gates of the real estate firm of Frank E. Gates & Son showing the activities of the ‘free lotters” will be presented to the board. Traffic Signal to Be Placed Installation of an automatic traffic signal at Blackford and West Washington streets was ordered today by the safety board.

When Miller opened the cash drawer for change, the Negro, pulled a gun and quietly demanded “the Ho - Hum * s&S&Ix. money,” which was S2O. Miller told the police the gunman backed out of the store, slowly shut 1 the door and with the same tired

PERJURY LAID TO WITNESS IN UTILITIES CASE Commissioner Will Act Against Man Who Denied Showing Letter. CUTHBERTSON BITTER Assails Defense Practice of ‘Not Telling Truth’ at Inquiry. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY For the first time in the history of the public service commission, a utilities witness is to be cited for perjury by the commission’s own action. Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbertson is the pioneer instituting the proceedings. He announced, following the hearing in the former Goodrich telephone properties case this morning, that he intends to ask Attor-ney-General James M. Ogden to bring a perjury charge against V. P. Russell, Columbus, 0., a defense witness for the utilities. “I intend to checkmate all attempts cf utilities witnesses coming before this commission and failing to tell the truth,” Cuthbertson declared. “This commission can not function without facts, and witnesses for these companies have done everything in their power to keep us from getting at them.” Denies Showing Letter The particular point in the Russell testimony, which will furnish the basis for the perjury charge, was denial by Russell that he had showed a certain letter in evidence to a commission accountant a week ago. Evan Williams, the accountant, is scheduled to take the stand to testify that Russell did show him the letter in the office of the Midwest Supply Company at Warsaw, when Russell still was employed by them. The letter was an order to credit the Interstate Telephone and Telegraph Company, holding company for thirteen operating companies and Intercommunications, Inc., a toll company, with $41,000 on the Midwest books. Seeks to Show Padding In instituting the suit Cuthbertson is seeking to prove that the holding company piled up profits from subsidiaries and service companies by salary Collections, costplus percentages, and managerial and legal services which were largely ficticious and built up by bookkeeping. Today’s hearing got under way when Russell was recalled to the (Turn to Page 15) ASKED Towne Club Move Made by District Attorney. Padlock for the Towne Club in the Hotel Antlers is asked in abatement proceedings filed in federal court by United States District Attorney George R. Jeffrey. He asks that the room used by the club be padlocked for one year and points out that the use of liquor within the establishment makes it a nuisance. The petition comes as the after-! math of a raid on the club by fed-; eral officials in which a quantity of j liquor was confiscated frem various guests and club officials were placed, under bond. BUSINESS GAINS SHOWN Only Improvement, However, Is in Latin-America Countries. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 30.—Definite signs of improvement in a few Latin-American countries were reported today by the commerce department in its survey cf world economic conditions during the past week, but “elsewhere the depression continues unrelieved,” the department said. Brazil and Argentina were singled out in the survey, based on reports from consular agents, as showing some improvement in the past week. Slight improvement was recorded in Japan and China.

He had thrown the shells from his revolver and the money was found on him by police. The gunman gave his name as James Camp, 29. and was identified as the bandit by Miller. Camp said he had no address. After a few hours in the hot cell block at police headquarters, Camp attempted suicide by hanging. Grover Hinton, bailiff, found him dangling from the ceiling, suspended by

World Fliers Avert Disaster by Inches; Hop Off for Long Trip Across Canadian Rockies

Edmonton Is Next Goal of Post and Gatty; Graze Tops of Trees as They Leave Fairbanks Field. By United Press FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 30.—Wiley Post and Harold Gatty made a breath-taking departure in the monoplane Winnie Mae today for Edmonton, Alberta, en route to New York on their record-breaking flight around the world. Disaster was averted by inches when the Winnie .Mae brushed against treetops as it cleared the field on its second attempt. The smoothly functioning ship roared away at 3:20 a. m. (7:20 a. m. Indianapolis time) into the far northern yellow night. With approximately 12,070 miles completed of the 15.000-mile journey and its end within eight days in sight, the fliers faced a 1,900mile hop over northern plains to Edmonton, where they planned to refuel and snatch a few hours sleep. Thunderstorms and heavy rains were reported from Edmonton, with rainfall of .37 inch recorded during the last twenty-four hours. These two fliers, the Oklahoma oil worker and the Australian navigator, landed on the North American continent Monday night, near Nome, after plunging through fog along a treacherous route from Siberia; sailed on to Fairbanks, took only a few hours sleep there, and then were away again. Gatty Is Injured They had allotted themselves ten days to fly around the world and when they set out from this Alaskan city this morning they already had completed an estimated 11,600 miles of their 15,000-mile flight. Adversity meant nothing to them on this daring journey. Gatty was injured when he stepped into the moving propeller blade Monday night, but he waved away medical assistance with the remark: “It’s just a little bump.” Fly Through Fog Their plane became bogged in the mud on a Siberian flying field. An American tractor pulled them out. Fog hung deep over the pacific. They flew through. And today they started off across the route that leads over the ragged Canadian Rockies, down through ! the Mackenzie valley, and across the flat agricultural lands of Canada. Post and Gatty were awakened at 2:30 a. m. Fairbanks time. They were tired and reluctant to leave their beds. “It’s a hard life/V the swarthy Post yawned, as he came from his room, his hair tousled and his eyes red from lack of sleep. After a hearty breakfast in the chill early morning, the fliers went to the field, where mechanics had wanned up the motor of the Winnie Mae. New Record Set Six mechanics had worked all night overhauling the motor of the Winnie Mae, installing anew propeller and cleaning the plane a bit. The ship, greasy and dirty from its long flight when it landed here, left the field shining and clean. Post and Gatty, as an incident to their world flight, set anew n 3rd for the flight from Nome to Fairbanks Monday, when they negotiated the 520 miles in three hours and seven minutes, well under the best time ever made by commercial fliers here, well acquainted with the route. The Fairbanks-Edmonton hop was expected to be the most dangerous between here and New York. Route Is Dangerous High winds and occasional fog make for difficult flying weather at times. The rugged, almost deserted, country makes landing dangerous. When Post and Gatty arrived in Fairbanks Monday, they had behind them approximately 12,070 miles of their 15,000-mile journey, in 172 hours elapsed time since they scared away from Roosevelt field at New York, a week ago today. To date they have averaged seventy miles an hour 1 , including all ground time, on the trip.*~ Ship Works Perfectly Their actual flying time for the journey to the time of the takeoff at Fairbanks has been approximately ninety-five hours. Their average speed to date, not counting stops, has been approximately 130 miles an hour. The Winnie Mae. a Lockheed high-wing monoplane, has functioned perfectly. Barring accident, the ship and its crew will end the aerial argosy in New York some time Wednesday, having banded the world in eight days,

Os course, the money couldn’t spoil easily, but Mrs. Mary Charles, 375 West Twelfth street, Monday afternoon believed her money would be safer in the ice box. She didn’t realize, probably, that no household appliance is more popular in the summer than an ice box. She told police her money disappeared a few hours later.

“We’ll see you seen,” said Wiley Post and Harold Gatty as they started their around-the-world flight from New York last Tuesday morning. It took them 7 seven and 50 minutes to reach Harbor Grace; 16 hours and 33 minutes to reach Chester, England, from there, and 4 hours and 30 minutes more to get to Hanover, Germany. In 1 hour and 10 minutes they were in Berlin. After a night’s rest, they flew

Drink ice cold liquids. 5. Swim just after eating. 6. Work in the sun. 7. Lose regular sleep and rest. 8. Get over-sunburned.

CROONINGS WIN GIRL’SRELEASE Negro Melodies Touch the Judge’s Heart. Spirituals crooned by three small brothers and a curly haired sister won the heart of Judge John H. Geckler in juvenile court today and cleared court sorrows for a mother and eleven children. The quartet pleaded for their big sister, Lucille, in song —and it pleased the court. It was their way of proving that Big Sister was not a bad girl, but merely having a hard time in a troublesome world. When Judge John F. Geckler learned how an old-fashioned Negro mother had taught and nourished her children’s musical talents, while struggling to raise a family of eleven, he' released Lucille, 17 years old, and sent her home. In court to hear her older daughter questioned, Mrs. Ethel Cox, of 1002 West Walnut street, asked permission for one of her family's two quartets to sing for the judge. When Georgia plantation melodies echoed through the courtroom, attaches and onlookers crowded close. The court handed the children a crisp, new dollar bill. Others who heard the singing gave the children coins. Mrs. Mary Matthews, probation officer in charge of the case, informed the court that she had found the family in distressful circumstances, without food and clothing. lOWA DRY CRUSADER IN NEAR-BEER RAIDS Old Statute Bars Drinks With Even Fraction of Alky. By United Press DES MOINES, June 30.—Things reached such a pass in Des Moines today that a bottle of near-beer almost was as hard to purchase as a whisky highball. Raids conducted by John B. Hammond, dry crusader, under the lowa statute, which declares no beverage of alcoholic content, no matter how small, shall be sold in the state, brought panic to retail vendors who disposed of their stocks hurriedly at cut rates or sent them back to wholesalers. While a committee of the Polk' County Druggists Association con-; ferred with attorneys, local druggists i advised thirsty patrons of soft drink I fountains that near-beer was unob-1 tainable.

LODGE TOW-IN LAWPROTEST Business Men Confer With Mayor, Safety Board. Headed by Henry A. Roberts, restaurant owner, a committee of business men conferred with the safety board and Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan today, protesting against the impounding clause in the new city ordinance. They presented a petition bearing signatures of 2,000 downtown business men against the clause, but no one offered any concrete suggestions for a substitute. Todd Stoops, manager of the Hoosier Motor Club, told the committee, board and mayor that several other cities had tried the system of impounding cars parked illegally and after fair trial, had liked the ordinance. Merchants chiefly were interested in impressing the board that courtesies should be extend out-of-town shoppers. After further consideration of the protest, the committee will return for another conference. “You’ve got policemen out chasj ing widows who are selling home brew r for a living, and raiding poolrooms for baseball tickets. The public isn’t interested in that. Let these men attend to traffic,” Roberts told the board and mayor. NO DELAYS FOB tL Capone Will Go to Prison July 30, U. S. Says. By United Press CHICAGO, June 30. —Scarf ace A1 Capone will leave for the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth on the night of July 30 to start serving a term of several years. It was reported today in authoritative circles. Federal officials were reported to have decided they will f allow no further delays in sentencing Capone. His prison term will start immediately after sentence is passed, it was said. Capone was scheduled to go before Judge James H. Wilkerson today to receive his sentence. A month’s stay was granted him on Monday on a plea that his son, Alphonse Jr., is ill and that Capone has not had time to get his affairs in order.

HEAT RESUMES SWAY, AFTER BRlff RELIEF Forecasters Offer Little Hope for Break Within 48 Hours. STORMS CAUSE DAMAGE New Albany Loss Is Near $100,000: State Death List at 52. Hourly Temperatures 6a. m 74 10 a. m 87 7a. m 76 11 a. m 90 Ba. m 83 12 (noon).. 90 9 a. m 85 1 p. m. 93 Indianapolis today again was to be the target for hot weather, after thunderstorms in various parts of the state late Monday had aided in reducing the temperature here. Weather bureau officials announced that the cool breezes of Monday night were “just lucky for Indianapolis” and that the mercury will rise into the 90s today, probably climbing higher Wednesday.

The minimum temperature during the night here was 72, several degrees less than the usual after-dark readings that have prevailed since the heat wave struck the midwest several days ago. At noon today the mercury climbed to 90, with no signs of stopping. Little Hope for Relief The only hope held by the bureau for temporary relief in the next forty-eight hours is a sudden thunderstorm here or nearby, so Indianapolis may feel the effect of the storm or accompanying overcast skies. Heavy thunder storms in various sections of the state Monday night reduced temperatures considerably and did much damage to property, taking one life. George Thornburg, 66, Plymouth farmer, was struck by lightning while plowing a field near his home. In addition, two persons died in hospitals as a result of heat prostration. They were Mrs. Anna Welker, 74, and N. J. Peterson, 59, of Valparaiso. Death Toll Is 52 The prostration deaths pushed the heat wave death toll in Indiana to 52. New Albany suffered worst from the storm Monday night, with $15,000 damage to the Grand theater and damage to homes estimated at nearly SIOO,OOO. Wind reached a velocity of sixty miles an hour, accompanied by heavy rain. Damage of severa) thousand dollars was reported at Jeffersonville, but farmers in sections where the storms struck said the benc'~t to crops was large. Records Are Shattered CHICAGO, June 30.—A11-time hot weather records which have fallen in eight cities and have been equalled in four others, underwccji the seventh consectuive daily assault in the middle west today. Hopes for relief were rebuffed again when the blistering sun swung through its orbit undimmed. Forecasters predicted cooler weather in only a limited area of the northwest. The millions in the rest of the saucer-shaped area from Alabama and Georgia to the Red River valley hunted out the shadiest spots, thronged to beaches and consumed iced drinks as thermometers crawled up toward 100 again.

It began to cool off today in sections of North and South Dakota, where further relief was forecast Wednesday. The Ohio valley and lower lakes had received some comfort from the downdraft of thunderstorm conditions, but this was only temporary. Cities where new records for June were set during the last twentyfour hours were Birmingham, 106; Peoria, 104; Evansville, 102; Atlanta, 102; Milwaukee. 100; Springfield, 111., 100, and Wausau, Wis., 100.

By United Pres LOS ANGELES, June 30.—The life of an educator is not free from worries, despite the fact that he works only five days a week and has a ten-week summer vacation, delegates at the National Education Association convention agreed today. Educators are confronted with three acute problems which occupy their thoughts throughout the year, holidays included, Willis A. Sutton, president of the association said in his annual address. Unemployment has given educators more gray hairs than truants, Dr. Sutton declared. The integration of all education and* the provision of equal educational opportunities for all children, he said, are the other perplexing questions.
