PO|NCARE WILL
PRESS VICTORY
Plans to Follow Up Decision
With Scheme to Take Over
German National Forests

PARIS, Dec. 27-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-Premier Poincare plans to
follow up the reparations commits
sion's decision declaring Germany in
default of her wood deliveries by pre-
senting to the allied premiers, meet
ing here next week, a scheme for TAX
ing over the German state forests as
guarantee. IL the other premierS
will not agree to this step, it is under
stood France is prepared to act at
once. 1t now is feared that the Brit
ish and French attitudes will be as
far apart when the premiers recon-
vene as they were when the recent
London conference adjourned and the
latest reparations development is TAX
en- to support this view. Sir John
Bradbury went to London today to
confer with Prime Minister Bonar
Law and other members of the gov
ernment on the effect of the repara-
tionS commissions action and on the
question of the general British policy
toward the premiers meeting.
Frances victory in the reparations
commission vote in ascribed to the
personal efforts of Premier Poincare
who is said to have carefully planned
the coup. The action was so quietly
and swiftly executed that none of the
American unofficial observers had
the opportunity of being present.

SHIP WRECKED
Investigation of Wreckage
May Clear Up Mystery of
Missing Tug Cornell

CLEVELAND, Dec. 27.-Sighting of
wreckage of a boat today by two avia-
tors of the air mail planes which were
sent out from the government air field
here to assist in the search for some
trace of the tug Cornell and seven
members OF its crew, missing since
last Thursday, marine men declared
tonight might clear the mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of the yes
sci.
The pilots, c. E. Johnson and Z. NJ.
Allison, reported that they had seen
what appeared to be the hull of a ship
about rs feet long five miles east Of
Erie and half mile from shore, H. B.
Shaver, superintendent of the air mail
field, announced tonight. They stated
that boilers and machinery were
above water. Although rocks along
the shore were coated with ice, the
aviators said that there was no ice
on the wreckage. The boat appeared
to. them to have been burned.
Their one thought, the fliers told
Shaver was that it might be an old
derelict. To settle this point, both
planes flew close enough to get
good view in the fog.
The aviators supposed. from the
blackened appearance of the craft,
that it had gone through an explosion
fire or something of that sort"
Shaver said.
Upon receipt of the. fliers' report,
H. E. Gilpin. president of the Great
Lakes Towing company, announced
he would dispatch tugs from Erie to-
morrow to search the vicinity.

Bernhardt's butler said that one
o fevery three of today's callers was
American. Government ministers,
playwrights, members of the French
academy, proWi2ent statesmen and
fellow actors and actresses called
at the house but all were refused
admittance to the sick room. The
only friend" Bernhardt was allowed
to see was her pet angora cat
which jumped up on her bed as soon
as admitted.
Her severe illness has given rise
TO much speculation regarding Bern
hardt's age. Most authorities give
the date of her birth as 1874, but
the birth records were burned in 1871
when the Paris city hall was des-
troyed by the revolutionists. The
divine Sarah" herself has always
said she was a, few years younger
than Georges Clemenceau" who was
born in 1S41.

Harding Negotiating Economic Confab
Police Baffled in Search
J for Slayer of TO- Year Old
SCHOOLGIRL; Autopsy Held

NEW YORK, Dec. 27-More than
SO hours after they began their inves-
tigation, the police tonight confessed
themselves baffled in their search for
a solution of circumstances surround
ing the death of Theresa Mccarthy,
10-year-old school girl, whose body
was found with a 22-calibre bullet
through the heart, was found in a
toy-littered room of her Brooklyn
home yesterday.
The investigation after the police
had laboriously dissipated a half
dozen nebulous clues, sifted down to
two theories.
The first. the one considered most
credible by the police, was that the
child was accidentally shot by play
mate who had been given a gun of
small calibre as Christmas present.
The second theory, which the police
say they had little faith in, was that
the child was shot down by sailor
of whom Theresa and several of her
girl friends had complained several
weeks ago, declaring that he had an

An autopsy today by Medical Ex-
aminer Norris provided the principal
grounds for the theory of accidental
death. The medical examiner said
the girl had not been assaulted.
The 22rcalibre soft-nosed bullet
that passed through the heart, he
found, went straight through the body,
indicating that the gun muzzle was on
a level with the child's breast at the
time of the explosion. Powder marks
on the clothes indicated that the shot
had been fired at close range.
More than 100 boys living in the
neighborhood of the Mccarthy home
were questioned by the detectives in
search for one who might have re-
ceived 22-calibre pistol or rifle as a
Christmas present.
The police also re-examined the
girls father, Edward Mccarthy, a
painter and war veteran, who has
been separated from the girls mother,
Mrs. Pauline Mccarthy, for several
years. They declared he had success

Borah Amendment Discussed
at Length But No Action
Taken on Question

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-(By The
Associated Press )-The first official
disclosure that President Harding is
negotiating toward an international
conference for the consideration OF
European economic problems was
made by Senator Lodge of Massachu'
setts, the Republican floor leader, dur
ing open debate in the senate today
on the proposal of Senator Borah,
Republican of Idaho, for the president
to call an international conference to
discuss economic conditions and dis
armament.
In opposing the Borah proposal,
which is in the form of an amendment
to the naval appropriations bill, Sena-
tor Lodge urged that the president be
not embarrassed in ''the efforts which
he is now making as a matter OF
fact"
Senator Lodge in the course of an
hours address against the Borah
amendment as presented did not op-
pose the calling of an economic con-

INCOMING STEAMSHIPS REPORT
TERRIFIC HURRICANES STILL
RAGE; PICK UP SOS. SIGNAL

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-More stories
of terror at sea were brought into
New York today when the steamship
La Savoie steamed into quarantine
48 hours late.
1t was the third successive day that
shippers of incoming ships had re-
ported terrific hurricanes sweeping
the Atlantic.
La Savoie reported picking up
series of SOS. calls from the steam
ship Tudorstar and then hearing no
more from her. This led the French
liners officers to believe that the Tu-
dorstar might have gone down, but
the freighter's agents later heard re-
ports that the ship, rudderless and
pounded by waves, had been taken in
town by a rescue ship.

Britain Refuses to Bulge
on Question of Ceding
Mosul to Turkey

! LAUSANNE, Dec. 27.-(By the AS
sociated Press)-Great uneasiness is
spreading throughout the Near East
conference circles as the time ap-
proaches when there must be a final
reckoning on all important questions
which have been passed by with only
partial agreement or no agreement at
all between the Turks and the allied
powers.
Lord CurZon's positive announce
ment today that Great Rritain will
not cede Mosul to Turkey and does
not propose to discuss that question
further was the forerunner of less pos
tive statements from the other dele
cations on various questions, which
indicate that the conference is reach
ing climax and that preparations
are under way for a final showing of
strength.
The sub-commissions are making
truculent today in the sub-commission
on minorities, but the Christmas rest
apparently did not improve the tenn
per OF the Turks materially, and the
allied delegations are clearly becom-
ing less tractable in preparation for
a final and complete statement of the
maximum they will yield.
The indications are that this final
roundup will come early next week
and the contending parties are so far
apart on capitulations, control of the
straits and the rights of minorities,
that the outcome is uncertain. 1t is
clear that further meetings of the com
missions and sub-commissions will be
of little use
Seemingly every one is talked out
and every foot of ground between
Mount Ararat and the Garden of Eden
has been traversed.
Kurds, Arabs, Assyro- -Chaldeans,
Armenians, Greeks, Turks, Bulgarians
and Russians are watching with tense
interest as the allied leaders meet
daily in private conferences, which
are really deciding what the map of
Asia Minor shall be! Lord Curzon,
Marquis Di Garroni and NJ Barrere
