PLOT FOR NEWS
Reporters Scheme to Get Re-
suits on Vatican Vote Fooled.
Threat of Punishment Issued by
Cardinal to Servants.
(By the Associated Press.)

Rome, Feb. 2.-Mator excommuni-
cation and instant dismissal FROM the
vatican household is the penalty which
will be inflicted upon any person in
attendance at the conclave if found
guilty of imparting information con-
corning its deliberations or votes to
persons outside before the result is
officially announced. Cardinal Gas
parri, the camerlengo, served notice to
this effect today to all concerned
The cardinals instructions came
after the reported discovery that one
newspaper correspondent had prac-
ticalIy completed arrangements to don
a walters uniform and for a large
monetary consideration had induced a
waiter to allow the journalist to en-
ter the conclaTe in his stead. The cor
respondent is said to have first opened
negotiations with a barber, but this
plan was abandoned, it was reported
because his unskilled tonsorial efforts
might prove dangerous for the car
'dinals.
Cardinal Gasparri's arrangements to
prevent a leakage of news are most
severe. He is determined to avoid a
recurrence of circumstances that at
tended the conclave of 1903, which
elected Plus Y, when the exact num-
Der OF votes of each ballot was imme-
diately known outside the vatican.
Austria's veto against Cardinal Ram
polla, who was a candidate at that
time, also was printed the same eve

President Does Not Like Debt
Refunding Bill.
Mellon Tells House Committee
Notifications Needed.
INTEREST RATE TOO HIGH
May Have to Accept Four Per
Cent Bonds.
Fifty Years. Time May Also Be
Required.

Washington, Feb. president
Harding objects to some of the provi-
sions of the allied debt refunding bill
as passed by the senate, according to
information understood to have been
given today to the house ways and
means committee.
After the committee had conferred
today with Secretary Mellon regard
ing the bill Chairman F'ordney said
action would be deferred until he
could consult with the executive.
Secretary Mellon was understood to
have expressed administration objec-
tions to the provisions added by the
senate clause requiring that the bonds
mature in not more than twenty five
years from next June, and fixing the
minimum interest rate at Az per
cent. The secretary was said to have
agreed to accept the bill in its pres
emit form if that should be necessary.
May Need Fifty Years.
1t was said that the secretary told
the committee that it might prove de-
s1rable for the United States to accept
obligations of the debtor nations run
ming as long as fifty years and that
in such cases it might be desirab BILE to
Fix the interest rate at four per cent.
From the first the administration
has urged that the proposed debt COM
mission be given broad authority in
the funding operations. The changes
in the original bill in the senate were
made by a group of Republican sena-
tors in party conference.
Lower Interest Asked.
Some of the $1,000, 100000 owed
the United States by governments will
have to be refunded and cannot bear
any rate of interest greater than 4
per cent. Secretary of Treasury Mellon
declared.
The funding bill as passed by the
senate, stipulated no funding arrange
ments were to be made in excess of
twenty-five years and that the rate of
interest should be 4 Il per cent.
Too Many Limitations.
Mellon, who would head the COM
mission which would arrange the
funding terms, criticised the bill as il
passed the senate because of the linn
itations it proposed.
Immediately after hearing MELONS
opinion of the bill, Chairman Fordney
announced he would see President
Harding before taking it up in confer
ence with the senate to iron out the
changes that were made in the bill
after it passed the house.

Near EAST NOTES
ROtarianS Shown Pictures by
Chairman w. A. Billy.
Makes Appeal for Kansas Food
to Save Starving.

Pictures of conditions which most
of the Rotarians found difficult to
believe really exist at the present time
were thrown on a screen at the Ro-
tary meeting and luncheon at noon to-
DAY.
w. A. Biby, chairman for Kansas of
the Near East Relief. showed the Ro-
tarians three reels of motion pictures
which have been taken in famine and
plague stricken Armenia and the
countries near by, where thousands of
orphans are being kept alive from day
to day by the activities of the Near
East Relief organization.
Pictures of the Starving.
Biby showed the Rotarians pictures
of babies and their mothers as they
starved together, while within a mile,
the Near East Relief maintains or
phanages which are caring for the
lives and health of as many as they
can of the homeless, parentless or
phans. Much of the film showed the
daily life of the Armenians in their
struggle against starvation, but the
emphasis was laid on the condition of
the children of that land. There were
shown lines and crowds of tiny, half
clothed children, fighting like wild
beasts. for the food which was distrib
uted by the workers of the Near East
food which is pitifully inadequate to
keep all of them from starving.
There was a profound hush over the
room as the pictures were shown, to a
running fire of comment and explana-
ton by Biby. Biby presented the pic
lures with an appeal for the backing
of the club in his campaign for food
from Kansas to help save the starving
children which the pictures showed.
Mrs. DOtterweich Sings.
Mrs Henry Dotterweich, before the
Rotarians' lunch was served, sang two
songs, which delighted the club. She
sang 1.-The Haunt of the Witches" and
Down in the Forest" Her accom-
paniment was played by Henry Dotter-
WEIGH, one of the members of the club.

Bartholomew Report on To-
peka Ready Soon.

1T is only thru the education and
the desire of all the people of Topeka
that you will achieve a city plan"
L. D. Tilton of the staff of Harland
Bartholomew, declared to the Topeka
city planning board at its regular
meeting at noon today at the Chamber
of Commerce.
A great part of the meeting today
was devoted to discussion of various
means for educating the people of To-
peka in what the city planning com
mission believes necessary and de-
sirable in the formulation of the city
plan.
One of the projects which was
brought forward and is to be given
further consideration, is the teaching
of city planning in the city schools.
with publications dealing with. city
planning as a general subject and with
special reference to Topeka.
THE secret of the success of a city
plan is founded absolutely on the edu-
cation of the public" Tilton declared.
He presented to the city planning
board today a general outline of what
the park and recreational scheme of
any city should be.
Parks and recreational areas are
things which no city neglects, abso-
| lutely. under present day conditions
Tilton said. But there are very many
defects in the manner in which most
SiticS treat their TeCTedllOndi pTCu-
| lem.
System of Recreation.
| "Most cities carry out their recrea-
| tlonal area schemes in the same hit
or miss fashion in which they grow.
! and not with a proper system.
| The city planner recognizes n sys-
! tenn for parks and recreation grounds
which is as definite as any other phase
of city planning" TiIton declared.
| IF this plan is followed, the city
will grow up physically with adequate
| open spaces for the play impulses of
its residents to find expression.
Three problems confront the city
planner in devising the scheme of
parks and recreation areas: the prob
lem of acquiring the land, the prob
lem of developing the land. and the
problem of managing the activities on
the land after the parks have been
established. 1t is with the first of
these that the city planner IS primar-
lily concerned"
Tilton told the planning board that
within a short time the Bartholomew
staff will be ready to present written
reports on many of the phases of the
Topeka plan. as a result of the inves-
legations which they have made.
The subjects on which they will
make reports include the recreationai
areas. the main traffic ways. the ma
jor street plan. the park and boule-
ward system, coming, transit systems.
including the street railway layout,
and suggestions as to the railroad ia
eilities and their layout in the city.
