Unless the Secretary of State and Mrs.
Knox relent and take back into their
good graces Philander c. Knox, jr., their
twenty-year-old son, who ran away and
married Miss Mary Gertrude Boiler OF
Providence, r. l., last Sunday, the young
man will soon get a first-hand knowledge
of the stern realities of life, for it was
learned today on good authority, although
the family would make no statement.
that young Mr.. Knox has been cut off
with about 500 a month, which his
mother will allow him.
1t is understood that the reception given
young Knox yesterday by his father
when he came here to ask for forgiveness
was very cool-so cold, In fact, that
Knox, jr, instead of taking his bride and
her mother, who had also come to Wash
ington, to his paternal residence, started
with them again for Providence
Still Hopes for Forgiveness.
The party, consisting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Philander Knox, jr., and Mrs. Daniel

Washington yesterday afternoon on the
federal express for Providence. Before
he left Washington Mr. Knox again ex-
pressed his hope that his father would
forgive him, and that all would be well.

in his power to support himself and his
wife.
Young Mrs. Knox and her mother did
not arrive in Washington until nearly 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. They went
Immediately to the Arlington Hotel.
where they met Mr.. Knox. He told them
of the reception he had met and they
made plans to return to Providence
While waiting for train time Mrs. Garry
went for a drive about the city. The
young couple, however. remained in the
hotel and away from all visitors.
Wants to Be Let Alone.
At the station, before the party left
Washington, Mr. Knox said that he did
not see why so much fuss should be made
over his getting married, and expressed
the wish that he be let alone by the re-
porters who had followed him there. His
bride who is a very pretty and petite
blond was also uncommunicative.
Both the young people were visibly dis
appointed about the reception which they
received here.

Thomas J. Wentworth Attacks
William F. Stone.
CHARGES AT WHITE HOUSE
Demand for Removal of Port Col
lector in Baltimore.
CRITICISM OF THE PRESIDENT
Secretary of Business Mems Associa-
ton Declares He Promised
Change in the Office.

Thomas j. Wentworth, secretary of
the Business Mems Association of Bal
timore. today filed at the White House
charges against William F. Stone,
whose nomination went to the Senate
yesterday as collector of the port of
Baltimore. With the charges against
Mr.. Stone is severe criticism of the
President for overlooking or disregard
ing an alleged promise to give the OPP
ponents OF Mr.. Stone opportunity to
present to him reasons why Mr.. Stone
should not be given another term.
The association has filed the charges
in the Senate and hopes to prevent con-
firmation of Collector Stone. who has for
years been known as the political head of
the republican party in Maryland. and is
likewise sergeant-at-arms of the republic
an national committee.
Substance of Remonstrance.
The remonstrance against the action OF
the President, filed today, states that the
President assured delegation headed by
Col. Mulhall that he would not take ac-
ton in Col Stones case until reasonable
time had been given to present all the
facts and that the President arranged for
a further hearing in his office. Saturday,
March II. In the face of all this, the
association alleges that the action of the
President in sending the name to the
Senate three months before the appoint
ment was due is peculiarly strange and
unusual"
The association alleges that the testi-
mony in its possession is that Collector
Stone has arbitrarily and despoticaly
used his Office to build up a local political
machine; that he has repeatedly violated
the civil service rules and laws; that he
customs service; that he has established
a condition of fear and subservience on
the part of customs officers; that he is at
the head of the Union League Club of
Baltimore, which has been for years and
is now regarded as one of the greatest
gambling places In the city of Baltimore, -
where men have lost all their money and
have been driven to suicide.

Senate Insists on Point
and AqreeS to Conference

The District appropriation bill went back
to conference today. the Senate agreeing
to the request of the House for that &C.
ton.
In moving that the Senate grant the
further conference on the bill, Senator
Gallinger took occasion to say that there
has never been broken the principle of the
organic act of the District that the ap-
preparations for its government shall be
paid half by the United States and half
by the District. Rather than to allow its
violation in the current appropriation bill.
he said, the Senate conferees agreed to
strike out the appropriation for the pay
grounds instead of granting the House
provision in the bill allowing the play
ground appropriation to be taken en-
tirely from the District revenues.

Committee Chairman RESPONDS.

Mr.. Tawney quoted at length from the
hearing before the appropriations COM

The police held a consultation and con-
cluded to allow the Philadelphia to re-
sumo business until the question of liabil-
fty for the license tax can be determined
by the corporation counsel.
1t is thought by Mr.. Niece that the law
does not apply to the business he is
doing He is not conducting an employ
ment agency for gain and no fee is
charged.
For a short while yesterday business
operations were suspended. The office
was open again, however. This morning
the railroad adjuster was doing business
the same as before the police interrupted
him.

Attitude Of the House.
eft WAS held in the House nj vav., ill.,,

'It was held in the House and very likely
properly held. that the conferees exceed
ed their authority in striking from the
bill the appropriation that was not In
controversy and the bill has been sent
back largely because of that fact, and
also because, I think, the House did not
agree to inserting the word supervision.
Now. Mr.. President, the conference
report has come back and the conferees
will take up that question anew, and
trust they may be able to adjust 1t.
Il move that the Senate further insist
upon its amendments. agree to the fur
ther conference asked by the House OF
Representatives, and that the chair ap-
point the conferees on the part OF the
Senate"
The motion was agreed to and the pre-
siding officer. Senator Kean, appointed
Senators Gallinger, Elkins and Foster the
conferees on the part Of the Senate at the
further conference.

Senator Gallinger's Argument.

AS soon as the message from the House
requesting further conference was re-
ceived by the Senate this afternoon, Sena-
tor Gallinger took the floor.
IF may have the attention Of the
Senate for a moment" he began. IT de-
sire to make statement as to the reasons
for the rejection on the part of the other
body Of the conference report.
When the bin came to the Senate there
was an item In it appropriating $1,000
for Fairgrounds in the city of Washing
ton to be paid wholly from the revenue
of the District of Columbia and there was
no provision in that item for supervision.
The sO-called organic act which Congress
is responsible for provides that in all
matters Of appropriation relating to the
District Of Columbia there shall be an
equal division from the revenues of the
District and the Treasury of the United
States, and SO far as I KNOWN fact
somewhat extended service in this body
there has never been q violation of that
well established principle.
LAS to the wisdom Of 1t have nothing
to say. Congress Is responsible for il
and the conferees felt that there ought
not to be any deviation in that regard.
LAS result the committee on the part
of the Senate and the Senate struck out
the words to be paid wholly from the
revenues of the District Of Columbia
and inserted the word supervision Dur
ing the conference on that particular
item the conclusion was reached that II
might be we'll to strike the entire item
from the bill, which was done

Moves for Recession.

Mr.. Parsons then moved that the House
should recede from its disagreement to
the Senate amendments and agree to
them. A spirited debate followed this
motion, in which charges against the
management of the Fairgrounds were
made by Representatives Tawney and
Gardner. The motion was finally de-
feated by 142 to Ill, ID voting present
and 100 not voting. Mr.. Gardner moved
that the House further insist on its dis
agreements to the Senate amendments
and ask for conference. This was
agreed to and the bill was thus ordered
to conference.

A Fundless Fund.

Those who follow the vicissitudes OF
naval reorganization in the conflicting
development Of that measure Of econom-
ical and expeditions transactions of the
public business Of the Navy Department
have observed considerable disturbance
over the discovery. at the instance Of the
Attorney General, OF the illegality Of the
so-called naval supply fund. which, as
originally prescribed by the statutes. had
total value Of less than 100000. II
has in the last few years increased in
amount to 100000 or more. This was
accomplished by an agreement among
the naval officials. with the sanction as to
its legality by the law officers of the de
partment, and did not actually have. as
It was believed not to require the ap-
proval Of Congress. BY means Of this
fund there has been maintained a large
stock Of material Of use on board ship
and at navy yards and which has been
drawn out by the various bureaus. the
appropriations OF which have been util-
lied In replacing the articles consumed.
With the decision that nearly fve-slxths
OF this fund IS on an Illegal basis. il has
been decided that that amount OF stock.
valued at nearly 100000 may be drawn
from the storehouses by the various
bureaus without charge TO the bureau
appropriation. II is represented that this
violent readjustment will result in great
confusion and will prove a serious handi-
cap TO maintaining the means Of ade-
quately meeting an emergency. It would
make impossible, for instance. the prompt
departure of a feet on such a long
trip as the famous acknowledging
cruise Of the Atlantic fleet. Il is also
asserted that there would be disastrous
consequences in time Of war
The question is more or less technical
from the standpoint Of the civilian OBJ
server. but II appears 20 be a matter OF
much Importance in its relation to keep
ing the navy up TO a standard Of pre-
paredness. concerning which factor so
much has been said and written by the
naval experts. II Is well under such cir
cumstances that there is to be an IN

tain II the step is a wise and judicious
proceeding and has been prompted by
consideration for the best interests Of the
naval service. There are many rumors in

Joan Raises Siege of Orleans-April 49,

Poitiers there was rival claimant, for
Henry VI Of England had already been
proclaimed King in accordance with the
treaty OF Troyes. The Duke OF Bedford.
the English regent. gained great victory
over the army of Charles, and this dread
full disaster was followed in 1928 by the
siege Of Orleans, the last stronghold of
his party. while no hope was being enter
tanned by the French Of being able TO
repel its assailants.
Then appeared Joan OF Arc. the simple
peasant maid. who had been told of a
prophecy 10 the effect that France could
only be delivered from its enemies by a
virgin She was able to impress the
French people TO believe in the truth OF
her mission. among them the King him
self and HIS chief officers, and she was
admitted into Orleans and provided with
train of attendants in 1923. Under her
leadership the French seemed TO be In
spired with almost superhuman courage,
and compelled the English to raise the
siege on April % Of that year.
When the English were about the city,
and the commander-in-chief Salisbury,
was making the rounds OF the towers,
Glasdale, pointing to Orleans, said: My
lord. you see your city" But, as he
looked In that direction he saw nothing,
for a bullet entered HIS eve and carried
away a portion of his skull.
In the meantime, while the English were
about to complete their last task for the
taking Of the city, there appeared upon
the scene Joan. the Maid. with a large
body Of followers. Dunois rode out 10
