HOUSE IN CONFERENCE
WITH FRENCH PREMIER
President Wilson's Personal Repre-
sentative Will Leave for Lon
don Next Monday.

PARIS, February Col. Edward M.
House. President Wilson's personal
| representative, yesterday had a long
conversation with Premier BRAND
after his arrival from Berlin. He will
see other prominent persons during
the week and according to his pres
ent plans will leave for London next
Monday.
During the day Mr.. House received
a large number of French, English and
American newspaper men in the offices
of the American embassy, who ques-
toned him as to the impressions that
he had obtained during his visit to
Berlin, what he had accomplished
there and what he was expected to do
here. Mr.. Houses pleasant reply was
generally that he preferred not to
answer the questions.
Mr.. House said he had seen Frederic
c. Penfield, the American ambassador
to Austria Hungary, during his trip
through Switzerland. but that he had
not seen Thomas Nelson Page, the am
bassador to Italy. who did not have
sufficient time to go to Switzerland to
meet him. He also said that he had
accepted no official Invitations in Ber-
lin to luncheons and dinners, except
at the American embassy.
ROME. February 1. lis pm. via
Paris, February 2, 1906 am-As the
result of an exchange of correspond
ence between Thomas Nelson Page,
American ambassador to Italy. and
Col. f. NJ. House, it was decided that
all subjects regarding which it would
be desirable for Mr.. Page and Mr..
House to confer on had been fully COW
cred by letter and consequently that
it was unnecessary for Mr.. House to
come to Rome or for Mr. Page to meet
him in Switzerland or in France.

WILL RECEIVE APPROVAL
Commissioners Take in Good Grace
Congress Refusal to Change
School Plan.

Although Congress has rejected the
Commissioners proposal for changes IN
tho methods Of conducting the Dis
trict's public school system and the
Public Library, there are other I'M
portant reforms in their budget OF ad-
ministrative changes recommended to
Congress which they are hopeful will
fare better at the hands Of that body.
For example, there are the recon
mendations that the Commissioners ap.
point the members of the board OF
charities and a director Of charities:
that the register of wills be appointed
by the Supreme Court and the recorder
of deeds by the Commissioners instead
Of by the President.

Ole beverages to do business in the

holic beverages to do business in the
District.
The Corby Company. which has a
plant at Langdon, d. C, where it makes
yeast, with grain alcohol as by-prod-
uct. protested vigorously to the Senate
District committee against the Shep-
pard bill in its original form, declar-
ing that it would put the company out
of business. A memorial was present
ed to Congress by the company on the
subject.
The company has pointed out that the
grain alcohol it makes is sold to the
government departments here and TO
other cities for scientific and medicinal
purposes, and that it is not used in
making beverages.
Senator Sheppard said today that ii
had never been his intention or the
intention of the supporters of the bill
to interfere with the legitimate manu-
facture of grain alcohol where it was
not to be used for making alcoholic
beverages.

Other Recommendations.

Other important recommendations
which the Commissioners have made
are that they be given authority to
enter into negotiations with Maryland
officials regarding the disposal of sew
age that now drains from Maryland
into District streams, and that an ap-
preparation be made for the construc-
ton of a municipal garbage plant.
The Commissioners took with good
grace the fate of their suggestions with
regard to the schools and the Pubic
Library Commissioner Brownlow said
that the District heads had submitted
the recommendations because they con-
sidered them to be in the interest of
good government, but if Congress does
not agree with u.s." he added, I'VE are
willing to accept cheerfully the die
tates of the highest Legislative body"

MEXICAN GIRL CAUSE
OF CLASH AT PARRAL

Ell Paso, Tex, April 25.-Ameri-
cans here from the Parral district
attribute the recent attack on Ameri-
can soldiers at Parral to the desire
of Mexican girl for revenge on
Mayor Jose de Luz Herrera.
The girls brother was shot and
killed by the late Monclava Herrera,
son of Mayor Herrera, more than a
year ago. Since then she is said to
have nursed the idea of revenge
against the Herrera family. When
the American troops appeared in
Parral her chance came. She is said
to have appeared on the plaza and
to have melted the MeXcans to make
the attack.
According to the story told here the
girl carried a rife and herself fired
on the retreating khaki-clad troops.
The arrivals here say the girl is
now imprisoned.
Mayor Herrera, whose son, General
Luis Herrera, has arrived at Parral
from chihuahua, with a detachment
of troops said to number 800 men, Is
making every effort to control the
Vilista sympathizers here. Many ar
rests are reported to have been made.

Geneva, Switzerland, April
26.-The American exodus
from Germany has begun. A
number of Americans have al
ready arrived at Basel, being
convinced that a rupture be-
tween the United States and
Germany is inevitable.
The German newspapers are
now taking a more serious view
of the German-American situa-
ton. They say that Emperor
William is expecting to return
to the Berlin general headquar-
ters. The papers are neither
optimistic nor pessimistic, but
show full realization of the
gravity of the crisis.
In the meantime, the Ameri-
cans attempting to leave Ger
many are held at the frontier,
and are encountering difficult
ties.

Washington, d. c., April 26.-At a

yesterday afternoon, Secretary Ian

Gerard indicated that Germany might
make concessions to the United States
in reply to the Wilson note demanding
immediate abandonment of her pres
ent methods of conducting submarine
warfare. 1t is felt here that these
stories indicating that Germany might
make certain concessions would have
bad effect upon the German peo-
pie.
