Paris, May 24-(By the Associated
Press)-The Chamber of Deputies
this evening took an adjournment
until tomorrow afternoon without
voting on the question of confidence
in the government of Premier
BRAND with regard to it's attitude
toward Germany.
Paris, May 24-(By the Associated
Press)-Premier BRAND, questioned
by a group Of deputies before the
meeting of the Chamber today, said
there was no reason for the occupa-
ton of the Rhur region, because the
aspect Of the Silesian question had
been changed, and if the Ruhr were
occupied without the support of the
allies it would be equivalent to
abandonment of the treaty of Yer
sailles.
Premier BRAND went into the
same subject later in his statement
to the chamber of deputies on the
governments foreign policy and
with regard to the London agree
ment for non-occupation of the
Ruhr valley.

ed Press).-Two of the American
stars, Charles (Chick) Evans and

by one of his own team. Captain w.

! Surprise followed surprise for the
| invaders. beginning with Jones' mar
row escape from defeat in the second
round by L. A. Hamlet of Wexhan1,
who unexpectedly proved to be most
worthy competitor. The Englishman
had never before played over course
of more than nine holes, and this was
| his first tournament. Those who fol-
! lowed this match thought that James
was Indifferent in the early part of the
game and not actually fighting until
they realized in the homeward journey
that elimination was staring him in
the face.
Bobbys difficulties came in a bunch
at the fifth. where he landed in the
| gorse and then in the bush ard fol-
lowed this by missing a short putt.
He had to fight all the way anG there
was breathless suspense on the home
green when his last ball curlel around
the cup and finally dropped in, giving
him the match. The first big sensa-
ton of the day was the elimination
Of Ouimet in the second round, and on
the heel of this upset came the defeat
: Of Chick Evans in the third round.
Speaking of his match, Ouimet de-
ciared it was won on the greens
through Hodgson's superior putting.

tournaments while abroad and ex-
poets to return to the United States

ford. however, appeared to be striv-
times hooked the ball to one side of
the course. At the third he was twice
out of bounds. Regardless of his de-
feat. the distance he made in driving
received much praise and the title
holders followers were obviously
worried throughout the match
There was a remarkable finish in
the contest between the American rep
resentative Hunt and Quilter of Wal
ton Heath. Hunt was two up at the
14th. but lost the 18th. The 10th
Quilter put his second out of bounds,
but his next, a terrific brassie shot,
was on the green and he holed an 49,
yard putt to square the match. He
then won the 18th with a brilliant
three, getting a half at the 18th beat
Hunt by one up.

McCILvARY TOOK

DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Boston, May 24.-The conclusion
that Patton c. McGilvary, former avi-
ator, committed suicide was an
nounced by District Attorney Joseph
Pelletier tonight. He made this state
ment after a day of examination of
witnesses and evidence in connection
with the finding of McGilvary's body,
bearing four bullet wounds in the
Back Bay district on May 10.
Before making his announcement,
the district attorney interviewed Nc
Gilvary's father, Professor E. B. Nc
Calvary, of the University of Wiscon-
sin who has expressed conviction that
his son was murdered.
Mr.. Pelletier conducted an all-day
independent investigation. Among
witnesses examined was Mrs. Evelyn
Clifford, a friend of McGilvary in
whose mail box on the morning his
body was found was a message of
goodbye. The note said:
Dearest Bobbie: | love you-love
you-love you. Goodbye dear heart.
with all the faithfulness and affection
in the world Most devotedly.
Your own Paddle"
The district attorney said that "one
of the strongest indications of the
fact that this was a suicide was a
letter with the transfer papers of his
automobile and a check from the
Fenway Garage where his car had
been registered early that morning,
found in the letter box of Mrs. Cliff

G. O.P. CONFAB DUE
June / ON IMPORT
DUTIES OF TARIFF

Washington, May ga meeting Of
House Republicans was called today
for June /, to consider the Longworth
resolution which would authorize the
ways and means committee to make
the import duties proposed in the per-
manent tariff bills effective immedi-
ately upon it's introduction.
Decision to place the question be-
fore the full party membership was
reached by the Republican steering
committee. it is understood, because
it was felt the issue was too import
ant to be determined by seven men.
There has been no intimation from
members generally as to their at
| titude toward the question, althou Oh
reports have been current that some
party opposition to the measure was
to be expected. Republican leaders
said today they took it for granted
that Democrats would line up almost
solidly against the resolution.
Rep. Young, Republican, North Ga-
kota, a member of the ways and
means committee who voted against
reporting the resolution has come out
openly in opposition to it. He said
today he wanted his party to find out
if the seven million Republican ma
jority last November was a mandate
from the people to pass excessively
high tariff rates.
In presenting the resolution, Mr..
Longworth. speaking for the commit
tee. declared that as it would take
considerable time to pass the taft bill
the country meanwhile wo Il1 be
flooded with foreign products eager to
slip i'll before higher rates were made
effective
Although the bill may not be re-
ror.ed before the middle of June.
preliminary framing, according IL re-
pcrts, will show many increases over
the Gid Payne Aldrich schedules.
