TODAY IN SOCIETY
BY MAY BIRKHEAD.
T:he Latin saying that books have their
finies might also be applied to
onarchs. Sometimes their respective
finies impinge, as it were. A case in
oint is former King Manoel of Portugal,
PM js a collector-literally-of high
"egree. He is an eminent authority on
the incunabula and the literature generally
of portugal, and recently published an
^portant work, Early Portuguese Books,
,'llustrated with fac-similes. His remark-
able collection is installed at Twickenham,
fa,nous as the residence of Pope, and near
,rhich Horace Walpole had his celebrated
establishment for printing fine éditions at
Strawberry Hill.
Twickenham is also, it will be recalled,
the residence of certain descendants of
Louis Philippe. King Manoel's mother,
Oueen Marie Amélie, the eldest daughter
of the Comte de Paris, was born .at
Twickenham 'but now lives at the Château
de Bellevue, Versailles. Ex-King Manoel
jecently completed the purchase of Fulwell
Park and twenty-two acres of land just
(jeyond Twicken-ham on the Staines Road
and has arranged the house to accom-
modate his Portuguese books. Among his
other hobbies is the raising of pigs on his
Sussex farm. He is also a fine connoisseur f
of old brandy.
It is not unlikely that this former
monarch will attend—or be represented
at—the sale, on Friday, Jan. 24, at the
Hôtel Drouot, of rare and curious Spanish
and Portuguese books and manuscri,pts.
One at least of the choicest items, the
Royal Ordonnances of Portugal, printed
ln 1514, is mentioned by King Manoel in
his treatise. This work bears the original
binding but shows certain small differ-
ences, as compared with his minute
study of it. Its extreme rarity springs
ffom the fact that ail available copies
ivere destroyed in ) 521, on the appearance
a new edition. This one, a remarkable
:;Jeeimen of early 16th Century Portu-
guese typography, was printed at Lisbon
.11 large Gothic type by Jean Pedro
Bonhomini of Cremona. A companion
piece is the only known copy of the
précious original édition of the first two
books of the Royal Ordonnances. It once
belonged to the Marquis de Vallada, who
in 1871 called it to the attention of the
experts. It has a Spanish binding of the
!)Sth Century.
TAese are but some of nearly 200 Îterilg
of varYlng interest and importance to the
bibliophile. One unique collection com-
prises 99 pieces dçaling with bull-fights,
among them a sati.re on a woman who'
sald her mattress in order to be present
at this sport. Another curiosity is . a
miscellaneous group of so-ca1!ed Pragma-
tiques, or series of decrees rendered in
Spain from 1544 to 1562 by Charles V
and Philip II, some of them bearing the
arms of the former and once belonging
to the well known Heredia collection.
Yesterday Mme. Taufflieb gave the first
ofherusuàl mid-winter Sunday réceptions,

i'krself is an American by birth, her
:husband an eminent French général and
■former Sénateur du Haut-Rhin, and her
jdaughter the wife of a British surgeon.

accounts only in part for the cosmop-olitan

STORMS WRACK
BRITISH ISLES
Gale Reaches 120 Miles
An Hour Over Channel;
Much Damage Donc
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan. 12.—iFierce gales raged
over the greater part of the British Isles
this evening. The winds are rising in
the ohannel to over. 120 miles an hour.
Considérable damage has been done at
t
the English seaside resort of Eastbourne
as well as many other well-known coast-
al towns. ,
In northern England, Ireland and
Seot'land snow also fell, reducing the
température in many districts to below
the freezing point and completing the
wintry conditions. London had its first
fall of snow this winter late on Satur-
day night, the température falling 10
degr&es in 3.0 minutes.
Reports of storm and damage are
coming in from an parts of the country.
During the gale at Croydon today the
wind rose to 60 miles an 'hour and at
Cardington to 65 miles an hour and at
Calshot, 68 miles. In Kingsway, in west
central London, a few minutes from The
Tri~bime office, and in Fleet Street, the
newspaper quarter of London, winds of
a velocity of 52 miles an hour were
recorded during the day. Hundreds of
billboards have been blown down ail
around the city and considerable dam-
age has been done by falling chimney
pots and siates from roofs of houses.

Off French Coast
Small Boat Capsizes
In Channel, 2 Dead;
Snow In Alps
CHERBOURG,- Jan. 12 —Th e coast of
France and a large part of the interior
are being ravaged by storms.
A 24-foot motor boat which left
Havre Friday carrying MM. Lenz and
Lepetit bound for Cherbourg was found
capsized among the rocks at Herque-
. ville today. The body of M. Lenz was
in the boat, but that of M. Lepetit had
disappeared.
'The weather was good at- the time of
the craft's departure, but in thé early
evening a stout south-east gale arose.
Strong blasts of wind accompanied by
bail swept down on the coast, and
doubtlessly made it impossible for the
navigator, M. Lepetit, to see the Cloast
line. It is believed that he tried to make
shelter at Omonville but could not reach
there.
Fears are being felt here also for thie
safety of thé bark Marie-Madeleine
which left here this morning.
A violent tempest. has just swept the
Breton coast causiing the British steam-
er East Bridge, and the Greek shlp
Micalus Pontus to send out distress
signais. Several small boats were aided
by life saving crews.
Rain. and hail storms have been ex-
perienced in the région of Riremont. %
In the French Alps there has beer. a
considérable falil of snow, and in the
upper Loire valley snow has fall en for
the first time this year.
WEALTHY THEATRE
AGENT FOUND DEAD
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Mr. Blair McEl-
roy, partner in the Fitzpatrick—McElroy
theatrical booking agency, was found
shot to death in his apartment here to-
day in circumstances that indicated sui-
cide.
Mr. McElroy was reputed to have been
worth about $6,000,000 and had risen to
an important place in the theatrical
world. Police, on entering his sumptu-
ous apartment found a pistol lying be-
side him together with a note which in-
dicated that he had taken his life,
evidently in a moment of despondency,
International Bank Discussion Will
Start Today At Hague Conference
Arrival Of Americans
And Schacht Signal
To Open Debate
BY HENRY WALES
(Tribune Press Service)
THE HAGUE, Jan. 12.—With the
American delegates Melvin Traylor and
Jackson Reynolds arrived , here this
evening and Dr. Schacht of Germany
due in the morning, discussions on the
International Bank of Reparations are to
begin immediately.
Britain and France, from the start, are
demanding 11 altérations and amend-
ments to the statutes drafted at Baden-
Baden and also certain changes in the
trust deed whereby the SUper-Bank as-
sumes the distribution of annuities.
Mr. Reynolds has a list of five names
~ of American bankers which were sug-
gested by J. Pierpont Morgan and Owen
D. Young as likely and acceptable mem-
bers of the Bank's directorate. These
names will be submitted to the delega-
tions of the creditôr nations and Ger-
many and two will be selected as Amer-
ican directors.
It is not expected that choice of the
American to be named president of the
Super-Bank will be made here, but it
is believed he will be elected when the
full directorate meets in the normal way-
• When the present conference adjourns
at the end of the week, the Super-Bank
experts will proceed elsewhere, possibly
to Paris, to continue the work of organ-
izing and establishing the bank.
The strictest secrecy marked the seri.es
of important meetings between the
French and German delegates today and,
tonight M. Tardieu asserted that he may
be unable to proceed to Paris tomorrow
night for the reopening of the Chamber
of Deputies as'he had planned. It is
War Renunciation
Clause In League
Treaty Is Sought
English Would Reframe
Article To Conform
With Kellogg Pact
BY ROBERT SAGE
(Tribune Press Service)
GENEVA, Jan. 12.-Another attempt
to reenforce the League of Nation's au-
thority to call a hait in any outbreak of
hostilities between nations, will be made
by England during the 58th session of
the League Council, which opens tomor-
row. She intends to start the cogs work-
ing to revise the League Covenant so as
to bring the document into harmonious
alignment. with the Pact of Paris..
England points out the fact that Ar-
ticle 15 of the Covenant tacitly permits
warfare in case peaceful methods fail
and insists that the present day worid
peace spirit demands a rewording of the
article in such a manner that definité re-
nunciation of war will be ineluded. Dur-
ing the fart.{!G9ming session, the British
'delegates will present their proposed
mathod of procédure in the hope that the
détails can be worked out in préparation
for aèceptance of the reframed article
at the next Assembly.
Great Britain also is expressing active
interest in the tariff truce and, despite
thel fact that she is not a free trade
country, intimates that she is willing to
co-operate on tariff agreements which
aro aimed at improving international
trade. Such a statement of the English
attitude lends support to Foreign MiTl-
ister Briand's ambitious plans for the
création of an economic United States
of Europe. It is expected that the veter-
an. French Foreign Minister will bring
up his se h-eme again during the present
session and British support may go a
long way toward building up some sort
of a basis for a général Continental
agreement.
Dull Sessions Predicted.
Outside of these points, the Council's
agenda gives promise of producing a
sériés of :,dull, unimportant discussions.
Sandwiched in between The Hague par-
ley and the London Disarmament Con-
ference, the Council meetings are lost in
an international shuffle, and many dele-
gates and newspapermen are leaving dur-
ing the middle of the week for the an-
important London meeting. Included
among these is British Foreign Minister
Henderson, who is obliged to be in Lon-
don- on Thursday morning to wind up
the reparations conférence.
Àll the delegàtions will have reached
Geneva before tonight, M. Briand head-
ing the French outfit and Mr. Henderson
the English représentation. Fearing
violence against the Itallan délégation,
the entire Geneva police force turned out
to guard the représentatives when they
arrived tonight and a bevy of detectives
is remaining in the Hotel des Bergues,
where the Italians are staying.
Baby Indian Girl Saved
From Marrying Old Blade
BOMBAY, Jan. 12.—A Httle six-year-
old Indian girl has just been saved from
marrying a 60-year-old man, according
to a message from Surat. The would-be
bridegroom, Pragji Anavil, a Brahmin
bachelor, offered the little girl's father
$3,000 for his daughter in marriage. A
group of Indian youths started a protest
against the marriage after everything
had been arranged and finally two- rela-
tives of the girl obtained a court injunc-
tion. t •
Jennie And Louis Hear Radio Murder Play
And Soon Afterward Louis Murders Jennie
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-From a mystery
murder. play to a real murder was the
course in a few b.rief minutes of Louis
Morales, of North Bergen, N. J., and his
wife, Jennie. Just what the connection
was between the play murder and the
real is a mystery which is not yet quite
clear.
In the flat above their own the couple
listened after dinner to the broadeasting
of a thriller on which their friends and
neighbors one flight up had tuned in.
Mrs. Morales said she did not like "this
blood and thunder stuff." It turned
i out that she had reasQn,
Louis, however, was an enthusiast for
this kind of show and urged he.r to "wait
a moment, it will soon be over." He
turned out to be right, too, for a few min-
utes later, when the Morales household
had retired to bed downstairs the people
a,bove heard three shots ring out from
the lower apartment.
A minute later there was a knock at
the door and a man's voice said: "I've
killed Jennie." Then someone stumbled
down the stairs to the door, and a motor
was heard starting in the street.
In her bedroom Jeni:|e Morales was
found dead. with three bullets in her
1 body. The police are searchiag for Louis.

U.S. Is Considering
Parrot Embargo To
Combat Psittakosis
New Victims Of Queer
Malady Reported
Almost Hourly
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Alarmed by
the entrance or •' "v2t'i'i'(; (s' disease''—
1Jsittako8'is-Federal authorities were , to-
day studyint" the advisability of placing
an embargo on parrots.as a measure to
hait, tlhe spread of the-mysterious and
highly dangerous disease. :
New victims of the disease are being
reported almost hourly from widely
distributed sections of the country and
health officiais throughout the country
are sending out warning bulletins.
Investigations are also being made in
many : parts of the country to find the
cause of the ailmeiat.
Two persons in America died of the
disease and nearly a score of others are
reported seriously ill of it. A hurried
survey of eminent bacteriologists of the
country resulted in no information which
would throw light on the disease. It is
like typhoid-,pneumonia but, umlike those
diseases, seems not to be spread from
person to person, but only from the birds
to people.
Authorities in the United States are
seeking for information from German
scientists on the subject in an effort to
determine the habits of the disease and
possible methods of combatting it.
Epidemologists. on the basis of the
few facts known do not fear a wide-
spread prevalence, due to the fact that
no cases yet are reported to have been
spread from one person to another. The
key to the problem at present seems to
be a strict quarantine, and perhaps an
embargo orn, importations of parrots.
Scientists both here and abroad,
meanwhile, are trying to localize the seat
of the disease by tracing the parrots
from which cases are known to have
developed. It would eut down the
problem of preventive measures if the
source of the disease could be located,
perhaps, in some one section from which
parrots were being imported.
Recent Concessions
Augment Potency Of
Insurgents In Senate
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Concessions
made to thé Senate radicals recently,
such as the appointment of Senator
Robert La Follette to an important post
on the Senate Finance Committee, arè
expected to haveea far-reaching effect
on the Reipublioan Party.
Despite ail efforts to reconcile the
regular and insurgent Republicans and
draw the latter away from their coali-
tion with the Democrats, it seems likely
that the radicals now stand in the posli-
tion of holding the balance of the power
for tli'e' year on nearly ail the important
committees and that their effectiveness
as trouble makers - has been gieatly
enhanced by the recent concessions
made to them.

NOTE TO FRENCH
IS OPTIMISTIC
Conference At London
Held Justified By
Present Pacts
Emphasizing that the Kellogg Pact,
measures of sécurité already achieved
through the Covenant of the League
of Nations and other treaties sufflcient-
ly justify the forthcoming London
Disarmament Conférence,. Great Britain,
in its reply to the French mémoran-
dum of Dec. 20, made public yesterday,
hopes that the present Conférence will
hasten the summoning of a general
disarmament meeting.
The communication which reached the
Quai d'Orsay Saturday was released last
night in Paris for publication this morn-
irg. No comment has been offered by
the Quai d'Orsay. >il'
While appreciating the cordiality and
even a certain sly humor in the British
repiy, officiai circles here, it is un-
derstood, do not regard it as especially
momentous. The French remain still
pretty much in the dark as to what is
going to happen in Lo,ndon.
His Majesty's Government makes the
following points.
It denies that it has no faith in the
Kellogg pact and insists that it bas
r'duced its naval armaments, a certain
dig in the recent French mémorandum
to the contrary.
It state.s its willingness to accept the
so-called French "transactio.nal proposai"
as a basis for discussion and a possible
recon.ciliation of ~ its , limitation by

FLEET OF PLANES
SEEKS AVIATORS
LOST OFF COAST
Men Seeking Altitude
Record Feared Down
In Atlantic
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Eighty air-
planes scoured a wide area of the At-
lantic seaboard vainly today in a search
for the plane in which Pilot Daniel Mar-
ra and Observer William Kirkpatrick dis-
appeared yesterday.
The two lost flyers had taken off Fri-
day morning from Farmingdale, Long
Island, for an altitude test and have not
been seen since. It is feared that the in-
tense cold or the rarefied atmosphere of
the upper air may have caused the two
men to lose consciousness during their
flight or that at such heights—far above
the clouds—they may have been driven
far out to sea and in their descent were
unable to make land.
Fourteen planes started the search yes-
terday and today scores more aided in
the hunt with the result that hope has
now been abandoned.
Guards At Sing Sing
Threaten Rebellion
On Roosevelt Ruling
(Special Cable To The Tribune)
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Rebellion
among guards at Sing Sing Prison
threatens to go to the length of a strike
in protest over the Governor's effort to
compe! them to stay at their posts
whether they like it or not.
The cause of their discontent is con-
tained in the bill sponsored by Gov-
ernor Roosevelt, aimed at prison re-
form, and including the provision that
withdrawal from service without per-
mission on the part of a guard within
less than five years after his entry
into the service is to be made a crime.
If this bill is enacted the prison
warders say that they will walk out on
strike. The written protest of the
guards has 182 signatures. When it
was sent to Albany, fear of a general
strike in ail the prisons of the State
was felt among officiais in the capital.

ON BOARD S. S. GEORGE WASH-
INGTON, Jan. 12.—In view of Secretary
of State Stimson's desire to reach
London on Friday and get into im-
mediate contact with the leaders of th-i
other delegations to the Naval Dis-
armament Conférence, the captain of the
Geprge Washington was instructed to-
day to proceed full steam ahead and
make every effort to accelerate the
vessel's speed.
In his conference with Premier Tar-
dieu on Saturday, Secretary Stimson
will make a final effort to reconcile the
French point of view with the s'pirit of
the other naval powers. It was of-
ficially learned today that shortly be-
fore his departure from Washington,
Secretary Stimson arranged a con-
férence with Premier Tardieu and that
he_ hopes to spend as much time as
possible with the latter in a prepara-
tory conversation.
The following day the Secretary of
State will confer with Signor Grandi,
head of the Italian délégation, with
whom he also hopes to reach a solution

HONOR FOR DEAD
JEWISH LAWYER
$600,000 Sought For
Monument To Late
Louis Marshall
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
ALBANY, Jan. 12.—Governor Frank-
lin- D. Roosevelt today recommended
that $&00,000 be donated by the State of
New York for a mémorial to the late
Louis Marshall, prominent Jewish
worker and corporation lawyer, w'hose
death occurred last September.
Following Mr. Marshall's death, Julius
Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist, cr-
ganized a Marshall Memorial Fund and
started the fund with a gift to the Jew-
ish Theological Seminary, of which the
late lawyer was chairman of the board.
Mr. Marshall was an indefatigable
worker and headed many movements
whieh affected not only New York
State but the entire country. He was
the mediator. in. settling many strikes.
and was on the American Jewish Relief
Committee, which collected more than
$75,000,000 for the relief of Jewish war
sufferers....
The late lawyer was the president of
the Comité des Délégations Juives au-
près de la Conférence de la Paix, whose
efforts resulted in the treaties with Po-
land, Roumania, Jugoslavia, Czechoslo-
vakia and other countries, which guar'
antee equal rights to ail racial, religions
and linguistic minorities. After his death
a Jewish colony in Palestine was named
Marshallia in his memory.
ENFORCEMENT
FAILURE, SAYS
HOOVER PROBE
More Courts, Officials
Needed To Stopper
Wet Flood
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-The crimipal
law enforcement machinery of the United
States is entirely inadéquate and has
broken down, say s a statement issued
yesterday by the Law Enforcement Com-
mission appointed by Président Hoover.
Bootlegging and rum-running have fi-
nanced crime and bribery of officiais to
the tune of hundreds of millions of dol-
lars a year.
One side refuses to admit its mista-k&a
or failure and the other refuses to treat
the Volstead Law as binding.
The prohibition, motor car theft, white
slave traffic. immigration and other
criminal lawa of the Federal govern-
ment ; have overtaxed the capacity and
effectiveness of the national machinery
for enforcement. says the statement,
which is signed by the chairman of the
Commission, George Wickersham, for-
merly Attorney General of the United
States.
Boston In Turmoil.
From another source, one learns that
Boston and other cities are in open
revolt against prohibition. The posters
of the United States Government in-
viting enlistment in the Coast Guard
to prevent rum-running have been torn
down by the mob, a.nd the Government
has elo,sed its Boston recruiting office.
One explanation is that Boston is largely
a Roman Catholic city and the Church
authorities there, while strictly adjuring
obedience to ail laws, are frankly op-
posed to prohibition, the Catholic hier-
archy, including the American cardinaig.
having pronounced against it.

(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Declaring he
was desirous of emancipating the
medical profession from unreasonabîe
Government interference and repres-
sion, State Senator Hastings announced
that he would introduce a bill in the
législature to permit doctors to give
their patients liquor without quantita-
tive limitation or time restrictions.
Senator Hastings said that he had
the support, of many prominent physi-
cians throughout the state who have
complained that their treatment of
many cases has been greatly hampered
by the state régulations. The present
medical practice statutes are a handi-
cap, he sa.ys, to doctors in their work
and, consequently, a hazard for persons
who may be afflicted with an illnes9
which calls for me'dicines of alcoholio
content.
In case his bill is passed and then
declared unconstitutional, the Senator
said he would sponsor a second bill,
this one to empower the state to en-
gage in the manufacture of alcohol as
a drug and then permit'its distribution
through licensed physicians.

a Senate committee.
American Automobile Men Will Go To Edge
With Campaign Against Prohibitive Tariffs
Representatives of American auto-
mobile manufacturers in Paris will go to
Ambassador Walter E. Edge this after-
noon in their campaign against prohibi-
tive tariff laws expected to be passed by
the Chamber of Deputies within a -few
doys.
Today's conference carries further a
direct protest against the new laws issued
Saturday aight, - when a lengthy
mémorandum was given out jointly by
the Ford Motor Car Company and the
General Motors Corporation, the two
manufacturers most vitally affected.
Ambassador Edge has gone into the
question of automobile tariffs thoroughly
in the past, annou-icing last week that
it was one of the subjects to which he
was giving his closest attention. After
preparing their data in opposition to the
tariff laws, the manufacturers will meet
with him this afternoon to go over the
possible avenues of action.
Mr, 35dge ^sserted that soqj# phases of
the tariff question might possibly be
referred to Washington, and his meeting
today is to complété his analysis of the
situation.

TODAY IN SOCIETY
BY MAY BIRKHEAD.
T:he Latin saying that books have their
finies might also be applied to
onarchs. Sometimes their respective
finies impinge, as it were. A case in
oint is former King Manoel of Portugal,
PM js a collector-literally-of high
"egree. He is an eminent authority on
the incunabula and the literature generally
of portugal, and recently published an
^portant work, Early Portuguese Books,
,'llustrated with fac-similes. His remark-
able collection is installed at Twickenham,
fa,nous as the residence of Pope, and near
,rhich Horace Walpole had his celebrated
establishment for printing fine éditions at
Strawberry Hill.
Twickenham is also, it will be recalled,
the residence of certain descendants of
Louis Philippe. King Manoel's mother,
Oueen Marie Amélie, the eldest daughter
of the Comte de Paris, was born .at
Twickenham 'but now lives at the Château
de Bellevue, Versailles. Ex-King Manoel
jecently completed the purchase of Fulwell
Park and twenty-two acres of land just
(jeyond Twicken-ham on the Staines Road
and has arranged the house to accom-
modate his Portuguese books. Among his
other hobbies is the raising of pigs on his
Sussex farm. He is also a fine connoisseur f
of old brandy.
It is not unlikely that this former
monarch will attend—or be represented
at—the sale, on Friday, Jan. 24, at the
Hôtel Drouot, of rare and curious Spanish
and Portuguese books and manuscri,pts.
One at least of the choicest items, the
Royal Ordonnances of Portugal, printed
ln 1514, is mentioned by King Manoel in
his treatise. This work bears the original
binding but shows certain small differ-
ences, as compared with his minute
study of it. Its extreme rarity springs
ffom the fact that ail available copies
ivere destroyed in ) 521, on the appearance
a new edition. This one, a remarkable
:;Jeeimen of early 16th Century Portu-
guese typography, was printed at Lisbon
.11 large Gothic type by Jean Pedro
Bonhomini of Cremona. A companion
piece is the only known copy of the
précious original édition of the first two
books of the Royal Ordonnances. It once
belonged to the Marquis de Vallada, who
in 1871 called it to the attention of the
experts. It has a Spanish binding of the
!)Sth Century.
TAese are but some of nearly 200 Îterilg
of varYlng interest and importance to the
bibliophile. One unique collection com-
prises 99 pieces dçaling with bull-fights,
among them a sati.re on a woman who'
sald her mattress in order to be present
at this sport. Another curiosity is . a
miscellaneous group of so-ca1!ed Pragma-
tiques, or series of decrees rendered in
Spain from 1544 to 1562 by Charles V
and Philip II, some of them bearing the
arms of the former and once belonging
to the well known Heredia collection.
Yesterday Mme. Taufflieb gave the first
ofherusuàl mid-winter Sunday réceptions,

i'krself is an American by birth, her

An Hour Over Channel;
Much Damage Donc
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan. 12.—iFierce gales raged
over the greater part of the British Isles
this evening. The winds are rising in
the ohannel to over. 120 miles an hour.
Considérable damage has been done at
t
the English seaside resort of Eastbourne
as well as many other well-known coast-
al towns. ,
In northern England, Ireland and
Seot'land snow also fell, reducing the
température in many districts to below
the freezing point and completing the
wintry conditions. London had its first
fall of snow this winter late on Satur-
day night, the température falling 10
degr&es in 3.0 minutes.
Reports of storm and damage are
coming in from an parts of the country.
During the gale at Croydon today the
wind rose to 60 miles an 'hour and at
Cardington to 65 miles an hour and at
Calshot, 68 miles. In Kingsway, in west
central London, a few minutes from The
Tri~bime office, and in Fleet Street, the
newspaper quarter of London, winds of

CHERBOURG,- Jan. 12 —Th e coast of
France and a large part of the interior
are being ravaged by storms.
A 24-foot motor boat which left
Havre Friday carrying MM. Lenz and
Lepetit bound for Cherbourg was found
capsized among the rocks at Herque-
. ville today. The body of M. Lenz was
in the boat, but that of M. Lepetit had
disappeared.
'The weather was good at- the time of
the craft's departure, but in thé early
evening a stout south-east gale arose.
Strong blasts of wind accompanied by
bail swept down on the coast, and
doubtlessly made it impossible for the
navigator, M. Lepetit, to see the Cloast
line. It is believed that he tried to make
shelter at Omonville but could not reach
there.
Fears are being felt here also for thie
safety of thé bark Marie-Madeleine
which left here this morning.
A violent tempest. has just swept the
Breton coast causiing the British steam-
er East Bridge, and the Greek shlp
Micalus Pontus to send out distress

by life saving crews.
Rain. and hail storms have been ex-
perienced in the région of Riremont. %
In the French Alps there has beer. a

WEALTHY THEATRE
AGENT FOUND DEAD
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Mr. Blair McEl-

theatrical booking agency, was found
shot to death in his apartment here to-
day in circumstances that indicated sui-
cide.
Mr. McElroy was reputed to have been
worth about $6,000,000 and had risen to
an important place in the theatrical
world. Police, on entering his sumptu-
ous apartment found a pistol lying be-
side him together with a note which in-
dicated that he had taken his life,

International Bank Discussion Will
Start Today At Hague Conference
Arrival Of Americans
And Schacht Signal
To Open Debate
BY HENRY WALES
(Tribune Press Service)
THE HAGUE, Jan. 12.—With the
American delegates Melvin Traylor and
Jackson Reynolds arrived , here this
evening and Dr. Schacht of Germany
due in the morning, discussions on the
International Bank of Reparations are to
begin immediately.
Britain and France, from the start, are
demanding 11 altérations and amend-
ments to the statutes drafted at Baden-
Baden and also certain changes in the
trust deed whereby the SUper-Bank as-
sumes the distribution of annuities.
Mr. Reynolds has a list of five names
~ of American bankers which were sug-
gested by J. Pierpont Morgan and Owen
D. Young as likely and acceptable mem-
bers of the Bank's directorate. These
names will be submitted to the delega-
tions of the creditôr nations and Ger-
many and two will be selected as Amer-
ican directors.
It is not expected that choice of the
American to be named president of the
Super-Bank will be made here, but it
is believed he will be elected when the
full directorate meets in the normal way-
• When the present conference adjourns
at the end of the week, the Super-Bank
experts will proceed elsewhere, possibly
to Paris, to continue the work of organ-
izing and establishing the bank.
The strictest secrecy marked the seri.es
of important meetings between the
French and German delegates today and,
tonight M. Tardieu asserted that he may
be unable to proceed to Paris tomorrow
night for the reopening of the Chamber
of Deputies as'he had planned. It is
War Renunciation
Clause In League
Treaty Is Sought
English Would Reframe
Article To Conform
With Kellogg Pact
BY ROBERT SAGE
(Tribune Press Service)
GENEVA, Jan. 12.-Another attempt
to reenforce the League of Nation's au-
thority to call a hait in any outbreak of
hostilities between nations, will be made
by England during the 58th session of
the League Council, which opens tomor-
row. She intends to start the cogs work-
ing to revise the League Covenant so as
to bring the document into harmonious
alignment. with the Pact of Paris..
England points out the fact that Ar-
ticle 15 of the Covenant tacitly permits
warfare in case peaceful methods fail
and insists that the present day worid
peace spirit demands a rewording of the
article in such a manner that definité re-
nunciation of war will be ineluded. Dur-
ing the fart.{!G9ming session, the British
'delegates will present their proposed
mathod of procédure in the hope that the
détails can be worked out in préparation
for aèceptance of the reframed article
at the next Assembly.
Great Britain also is expressing active
interest in the tariff truce and, despite
thel fact that she is not a free trade
country, intimates that she is willing to
co-operate on tariff agreements which
aro aimed at improving international
trade. Such a statement of the English
attitude lends support to Foreign MiTl-
ister Briand's ambitious plans for the
création of an economic United States
of Europe. It is expected that the veter-
an. French Foreign Minister will bring
up his se h-eme again during the present
session and British support may go a
long way toward building up some sort
of a basis for a général Continental
agreement.
Dull Sessions Predicted.
Outside of these points, the Council's
agenda gives promise of producing a
sériés of :,dull, unimportant discussions.
Sandwiched in between The Hague par-
ley and the London Disarmament Con-
ference, the Council meetings are lost in
an international shuffle, and many dele-
gates and newspapermen are leaving dur-
ing the middle of the week for the an-
important London meeting. Included
among these is British Foreign Minister
Henderson, who is obliged to be in Lon-
don- on Thursday morning to wind up
the reparations conférence.
Àll the delegàtions will have reached
Geneva before tonight, M. Briand head-
ing the French outfit and Mr. Henderson
the English représentation. Fearing
violence against the Itallan délégation,
the entire Geneva police force turned out
to guard the représentatives when they
arrived tonight and a bevy of detectives
is remaining in the Hotel des Bergues,
where the Italians are staying.

BOMBAY, Jan. 12.—A Httle six-year-
old Indian girl has just been saved from
marrying a 60-year-old man, according
to a message from Surat. The would-be
bridegroom, Pragji Anavil, a Brahmin
bachelor, offered the little girl's father
$3,000 for his daughter in marriage. A
group of Indian youths started a protest
against the marriage after everything
had been arranged and finally two- rela-

Jennie And Louis Hear Radio Murder Play
And Soon Afterward Louis Murders Jennie
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-From a mystery
murder. play to a real murder was the
course in a few b.rief minutes of Louis
Morales, of North Bergen, N. J., and his
wife, Jennie. Just what the connection
was between the play murder and the
real is a mystery which is not yet quite
clear.
In the flat above their own the couple
listened after dinner to the broadeasting
of a thriller on which their friends and
neighbors one flight up had tuned in.
Mrs. Morales said she did not like "this
blood and thunder stuff." It turned
i out that she had reasQn,
Louis, however, was an enthusiast for
this kind of show and urged he.r to "wait
a moment, it will soon be over." He
turned out to be right, too, for a few min-
utes later, when the Morales household
had retired to bed downstairs the people
a,bove heard three shots ring out from
the lower apartment.
A minute later there was a knock at
the door and a man's voice said: "I've
killed Jennie." Then someone stumbled
down the stairs to the door, and a motor
was heard starting in the street.
In her bedroom Jeni:|e Morales was
found dead. with three bullets in her
1 body. The police are searchiag for Louis.

U.S. Is Considering
Parrot Embargo To
Combat Psittakosis
New Victims Of Queer
Malady Reported
Almost Hourly
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Alarmed by
the entrance or •' "v2t'i'i'(; (s' disease''—
1Jsittako8'is-Federal authorities were , to-
day studyint" the advisability of placing
an embargo on parrots.as a measure to
hait, tlhe spread of the-mysterious and
highly dangerous disease. :
New victims of the disease are being
reported almost hourly from widely
distributed sections of the country and
health officiais throughout the country
are sending out warning bulletins.
Investigations are also being made in
many : parts of the country to find the
cause of the ailmeiat.
Two persons in America died of the
disease and nearly a score of others are
reported seriously ill of it. A hurried
survey of eminent bacteriologists of the
country resulted in no information which
would throw light on the disease. It is
like typhoid-,pneumonia but, umlike those
diseases, seems not to be spread from
person to person, but only from the birds
to people.
Authorities in the United States are
seeking for information from German
scientists on the subject in an effort to
determine the habits of the disease and
possible methods of combatting it.
Epidemologists. on the basis of the
few facts known do not fear a wide-
spread prevalence, due to the fact that
no cases yet are reported to have been
spread from one person to another. The
key to the problem at present seems to
be a strict quarantine, and perhaps an
embargo orn, importations of parrots.
Scientists both here and abroad,
meanwhile, are trying to localize the seat
of the disease by tracing the parrots
from which cases are known to have
developed. It would eut down the
problem of preventive measures if the
source of the disease could be located,
perhaps, in some one section from which
parrots were being imported.
Recent Concessions
Augment Potency Of
Insurgents In Senate
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Concessions
made to thé Senate radicals recently,
such as the appointment of Senator
Robert La Follette to an important post
on the Senate Finance Committee, arè
expected to haveea far-reaching effect
on the Reipublioan Party.
Despite ail efforts to reconcile the
regular and insurgent Republicans and
draw the latter away from their coali-
tion with the Democrats, it seems likely
that the radicals now stand in the posli-
tion of holding the balance of the power
for tli'e' year on nearly ail the important
committees and that their effectiveness
as trouble makers - has been gieatly
enhanced by the recent concessions
made to them.

NOTE TO FRENCH
IS OPTIMISTIC
Conference At London
Held Justified By
Present Pacts
Emphasizing that the Kellogg Pact,
measures of sécurité already achieved
through the Covenant of the League
of Nations and other treaties sufflcient-
ly justify the forthcoming London
Disarmament Conférence,. Great Britain,
in its reply to the French mémoran-
dum of Dec. 20, made public yesterday,
hopes that the present Conférence will
hasten the summoning of a general
disarmament meeting.
The communication which reached the
Quai d'Orsay Saturday was released last
night in Paris for publication this morn-
irg. No comment has been offered by
the Quai d'Orsay. >il'
While appreciating the cordiality and
even a certain sly humor in the British
repiy, officiai circles here, it is un-
derstood, do not regard it as especially
momentous. The French remain still
pretty much in the dark as to what is
going to happen in Lo,ndon.
His Majesty's Government makes the
following points.
It denies that it has no faith in the
Kellogg pact and insists that it bas
r'duced its naval armaments, a certain
dig in the recent French mémorandum
to the contrary.
It state.s its willingness to accept the
so-called French "transactio.nal proposai"
as a basis for discussion and a possible
recon.ciliation of ~ its , limitation by

FLEET OF PLANES
SEEKS AVIATORS
LOST OFF COAST
Men Seeking Altitude
Record Feared Down
In Atlantic
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Eighty air-
planes scoured a wide area of the At-
lantic seaboard vainly today in a search
for the plane in which Pilot Daniel Mar-
ra and Observer William Kirkpatrick dis-
appeared yesterday.
The two lost flyers had taken off Fri-
day morning from Farmingdale, Long
Island, for an altitude test and have not
been seen since. It is feared that the in-
tense cold or the rarefied atmosphere of
the upper air may have caused the two
men to lose consciousness during their
flight or that at such heights—far above
the clouds—they may have been driven
far out to sea and in their descent were
unable to make land.
Fourteen planes started the search yes-
terday and today scores more aided in
the hunt with the result that hope has
now been abandoned.
Guards At Sing Sing
Threaten Rebellion
On Roosevelt Ruling
(Special Cable To The Tribune)
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Rebellion
among guards at Sing Sing Prison
threatens to go to the length of a strike
in protest over the Governor's effort to
compe! them to stay at their posts
whether they like it or not.
The cause of their discontent is con-
tained in the bill sponsored by Gov-
ernor Roosevelt, aimed at prison re-
form, and including the provision that
withdrawal from service without per-
mission on the part of a guard within
less than five years after his entry
into the service is to be made a crime.
If this bill is enacted the prison
warders say that they will walk out on
strike. The written protest of the
guards has 182 signatures. When it
was sent to Albany, fear of a general
strike in ail the prisons of the State
was felt among officiais in the capital.

of State Stimson's desire to reach
London on Friday and get into im-
mediate contact with the leaders of th-i
other delegations to the Naval Dis-

vessel's speed.
In his conference with Premier Tar-
dieu on Saturday, Secretary Stimson

he_ hopes to spend as much time as
possible with the latter in a prepara-
tory conversation.
The following day the Secretary of

HONOR FOR DEAD
JEWISH LAWYER
$600,000 Sought For
Monument To Late
Louis Marshall
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
ALBANY, Jan. 12.—Governor Frank-
lin- D. Roosevelt today recommended
that $&00,000 be donated by the State of
New York for a mémorial to the late
Louis Marshall, prominent Jewish
worker and corporation lawyer, w'hose
death occurred last September.
Following Mr. Marshall's death, Julius
Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist, cr-
ganized a Marshall Memorial Fund and
started the fund with a gift to the Jew-
ish Theological Seminary, of which the
late lawyer was chairman of the board.
Mr. Marshall was an indefatigable
worker and headed many movements
whieh affected not only New York
State but the entire country. He was
the mediator. in. settling many strikes.
and was on the American Jewish Relief
Committee, which collected more than
$75,000,000 for the relief of Jewish war
sufferers....
The late lawyer was the president of
the Comité des Délégations Juives au-

ENFORCEMENT
FAILURE, SAYS
HOOVER PROBE
More Courts, Officials

Wet Flood
(Special Cable To The Tribune.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-The crimipal
law enforcement machinery of the United
States is entirely inadéquate and has
broken down, say s a statement issued
yesterday by the Law Enforcement Com-
mission appointed by Président Hoover.
Bootlegging and rum-running have fi-
nanced crime and bribery of officiais to
the tune of hundreds of millions of dol-
lars a year.
One side refuses to admit its mista-k&a
or failure and the other refuses to treat
the Volstead Law as binding.
The prohibition, motor car theft, white
slave traffic. immigration and other
criminal lawa of the Federal govern-
ment ; have overtaxed the capacity and
effectiveness of the national machinery
for enforcement. says the statement,
which is signed by the chairman of the
Commission, George Wickersham, for-
merly Attorney General of the United
States.
Boston In Turmoil.
From another source, one learns that
Boston and other cities are in open
revolt against prohibition. The posters
of the United States Government in-
viting enlistment in the Coast Guard
to prevent rum-running have been torn
down by the mob, a.nd the Government
has elo,sed its Boston recruiting office.
One explanation is that Boston is largely
a Roman Catholic city and the Church
authorities there, while strictly adjuring
obedience to ail laws, are frankly op-
posed to prohibition, the Catholic hier-
archy, including the American cardinaig.
having pronounced against it.

New York Legislator
Seeks Emancipation
Of Profession
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Declaring he
was desirous of emancipating the
medical profession from unreasonabîe
Government interference and repres-
sion, State Senator Hastings announced
that he would introduce a bill in the
législature to permit doctors to give
their patients liquor without quantita-
tive limitation or time restrictions.
Senator Hastings said that he had
the support, of many prominent physi-
cians throughout the state who have
complained that their treatment of
many cases has been greatly hampered
by the state régulations. The present
medical practice statutes are a handi-
cap, he sa.ys, to doctors in their work
and, consequently, a hazard for persons
who may be afflicted with an illnes9
which calls for me'dicines of alcoholio
content.
In case his bill is passed and then
declared unconstitutional, the Senator
said he would sponsor a second bill,
this one to empower the state to en-
gage in the manufacture of alcohol as
a drug and then permit'its distribution
through licensed physicians.
