With HUGHES PLAN
Proposed Treaty Between L. S.

BOUNDARIES ARE OMITTED

SPECIAL cable 10 THE NEW YORK Herald
Copyright, 1921. by TIE NEW ioRK HE7Mp.
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, July 2.
The French Government seems to
be more than we'll sa tisfied with the
form and scope Of the proposed treaty
between the United States and Ger
many which Secretary Hughes has
outlined for submission to the Senate
The exclusive despatch published in
The Netc York Herald of Paris setting
forth the changes the Secretary would
make in the original treaty was ear
nestly studied to-day at the Foreign
Once with evident satisfaction.
Only ore fault was found with the
Hughes p,oject, and that is the COM
plete omission OF Parts 2 and 3. chiefly
dealing with German boundaries. 1t Is
suggested here that the President and
the Senate could very we'll substitute
for these parts of the Versailles treaty
something which would signify recog-
ritiun by the United States Of the new
Germany as delimited by the original
treaty.
Otherwise. as II is seen here, Ger
many will seek to take advantage OF
the omission of these parts to bring
into question many boundary lines
which can easily be made the subject OF
interminable discussion, thus breeding
germs of future European disscnsion.
Outside Of this. the Hughes plan seems
at first glance here TO meet with great
appreciation and to French diplomats II
appears to solve the problem of bridging
the difficulties.
Secretary Hughes's suggestion for ad
justing the treaty situation in America
is entirely in accord with the French
official desire that the Versailles treaty
receive recognition by the United States
and that the allied solidarity continue.
The French Government has been fear
full that an absolutely separate peace
treaty would be passed and the Hughes
plan comes as a pleasing suggestion for
meeting the problem.
Ambassador Jusserand has been hold
ine frequent conversations with MIR.
Hughes In washington and has stressed
the French hopes that the Versailles
Treaty would be ratified by the United
States even with MANY chapters ellmi-
mated. IL can be enphaticaly stated
that the French Government would well
come the passage OF Secretary Hughes's
amended treaty in lieu cf separate
peace treaty with Germany. though II is
unable as yet to estimate the exact
effect OF some OF the proposed changes
including that OF the substitution OF the
Allied and Associated Powers ror the
League OF Nations Council
The Hughes plan Is being carefully
studied by tho French Foreign ONCE,
with the probability that Ambassador
Jusserand will be instructed within the
newt few days TO express French APP
prevail OF the plan.

IN BARRCADED HOME
John Gruhacz Has Battle With
Dozen Cops and Firemcn in
Bloomfield, N. j.
SCRAP LASTS ONE HOUR
Kills Himself After Attempt
Is Made to Flood Him Out
Of Home.

John Gruhacz shot and killed him
self late yesterday afternoon in Bloom
field, N j., after he had barricaded
himself i'm a one story frame building
in 45S Broad street and had stood OFF
dozen f1remen and policemen fol
almost an hour. Gruhacz fired twelve
shots at the fremen and policemen
and the crowd that gathered to watch
the fight. but none of them took effect
The building in which the man
killed himself is occupied by a dry
goods store conducted by his wife, Mrs
Caroline Gruhacz. from whom he had
been separated for some time. Yester-
day afternoon Mrs. Gruhacz saw her
husband, drunk. approaching the store
and she believed he was coming to
harm her. She took her eight-months-
old baby and went to the home of a
neighbor, Mrs. Martha Wyman, who
telephoned to the police.
Chief Collins sent Sergeant Huddy and
Fatrolman Collins to arrest Gruhacz but
in the meantime the man had locked the
doors and windows and barricaded them.
Iatrolrnan Collins tried 10 force open the
front door, but Gruhacz shot at him.
The bullet missed. Collins retired to an
other building for protection. Gruhacz
then went to a window and shot at Ser
seant Huddy, who was standing in trent
OF a store across the street.
Sergeant Huddy then telophcned 70
Fire Chief Koeber to send the hose com
pany, and also asked Chief Collins for
more policemen. Excelsior Hose Com
pany No. went to the house, as did
I'atrolmcn Barry, Tappan ard Stocko.
AS soon as the flremen reached the
house they began pouring streams OF
water against the windows OF the build
Ing. hoping to smash the glass ard iood
the structure so that Gruhecz would
have to run out where nc could oe ar
rested or shot c;rrnacz appeared at the
window several times while this was go-
ing on and fired ten more shots, while
the policemen returned the fire from the
sidewalk. A large crowd gathered to
watch. but left for shelter as soon as
Gruhacz began shooting from the win
dows.
After forty-hvc minutes Patrolnan
Stocko went to the rear OF the house and
shouted TO Gruhacz in Polish. The man
replied
'T will never leave this house alive!'
There was silence for a few moments
after that, and then another shot was
heard Sergeant Huddy went to the
front door, broke 1t down and entered
the building. In the back room he found
Gruhacz sitting OH an overturned ward
robe with his head on his left hand and
a revolver in the right hand. He was
dead from bullet wound in the right
temI ie.

FERGUSON READY TO
QUIT SCHOOL BOARD
Hylan's Appointee Sees No
Hope of Improving De-
plorable Conditions.
LACK OF MONEY BLAMED
Officials Goaded Into Giving
Up Half Of Appropria-
ton.
LACK OF MONEY BLAMED

DIR. John A. Ferguson of 932 Bush
pointed by his neighbor Mayor Hylan
year ago as member Of the Board
of Education, is so disgusted with the
failure OF the board to make progress
in improving the city's schools that he
is ready to throw up the sponge. He
told reporter for THE New YORK
HERALD yesterday that his personal IN
spection of the school buildings con-
firms in virtually all particulars the
charges of unsanitary conditions and
lack of repair made by the civic or
ganizations, that he has been unao!e
to make any appreciable progress tow
ard remcdying those conditions be-
cause the city has not provided the
money, and that the Hylan s52,0oo,ooo
building programme has hung rre
through hindrances of various sorts
until he feels ready to hand his resis-
nation to the Mayor.
II have not rendered my formal resig-
nation yet. but / do not know but that

the city If can. but I cannot waste
any more time getting nowhere. ] have
living to make"
DIR. Fergusons charges indicated that
virtually all OF the Hylan school pro-
gramme is on paper only. DR.. Ferguson
was largely instrumental in pushing
through the Board of Estimate the $780,
600, 900 appropriation for school build
ing almost four years after Mayor
Hylan's campaign promises. Yet. he
says, since the appropriation went
through delay after delay has prevented
the city from benehting In buildings
erected.
Regarding his inability to obtain i'm
provemcnt OF conditions In existing
schools. Dr. Ferguson said that the
trouble Is lack OF money. That state
ment from the board members is In the
face of the boast of the Mayor that his
administration has done more for the
improvement of existing buildings than
any other administration. In answer to
questions DIR. Ferguson admitted frankly
that only half of the. Hylan appropria-
tion for maintenance and repairs for
this year has been made available and
that that half was forthcoming only a
month ago--after the condition of the
school buildings had been exposed by the
civic organizations.
but the money appropriated this year
wouldn't be start" DIR. Ferguson said.

FARMERS FAVOR PLAN
Shawnee County Agriculturists Work
ing for Cooperative Markets.


Several farmers who hitherto had
been opposed to the plan of the Ma
tional Farm bureau to organize all
farmers in America for the purpose
of putting across the plans of the
Committee of Seventeen for co-opera-
tive marketing. openly came out in
favor of the plan Thursday night after,
George Tucker, Greenwood county
ton.
Many of the farmers who had been
opposed to the plan said they did not
er.s talk. The idea, seemed to prevail
that the farm bureau is fighting the
various farmers organizations.
+On the contrary" f. o. Blecha,
county agent, explained today, it is
thetplan of the bureau to assist these
organizations: Heretofore the farm
erganizat tons have been pulling
against each other. 1t is the farm
ing in one direction, thus exercising
over the plan of the Committee of
Seventeen for cooperative marketing
of farm products. This is the farmers
one salvation"
Ralph Yingling, a community farm
leader living near Berryton, urged
that another meeting be held soon to
give a greater representation of farm
ers an opportunity to hear the plan

VALLEY PEARS ARE
OF EXTRA QUALITY

That some of the finest pears in the
world can be raised in the Imperlal
Valley has been demonstrated by the
results on the Fritz Kloke ranch at
Calexico.
From that ranch large quantities OF
fruit have been going to market at ex-
cellent prices.This is the only COM
mercial orchard in the valley.
Pears exhibited at Brawley recently
have indicated that the pear may offer
as much in the way of returns as some
of the fruit already popularized, such
as grapes and grapefruit. One tree
south Of Brawley on the E. Shore
ranch. is loaded with pears. Several
hundred pounds are on the tree and
the branches are breaking with the
weight of the pears, which are large
