WHAT'S THE MATTER ANYWAY

Frank A. Yapp, who hives in a city
not far from Youngstown, submits
the following:
| From my Office / see five men on
top of building. They are putting on
| a new tar and gravel roof. One Of
the men smears the liquid tar on the
roof with big brush. Another
| scatters the gravel with his shovel.
Two of the men are sparring with
| each other at one side. The fifth
sits on a pile of sacks filled with
gravel to keep them from being
| blown off-the roof / guess. Five are
being paid by some one FOR the work
that two are doing.

COMMISSION ASKS
 GERMANY'S VIEWS
Hermes Will Present Carefully Prepared Memorial to AL
 lied Delegates Today
By Associated Press

Berlin, November 2.-The official discussions between the Allied re- paration commission and Dr. Hermes. German minister of finance. have reached the stage where NJ. Barthou and his colleagues believe they are warranted in asking the German government to state its views on the establishment of budget equilibrium and limitations of the floating debt, constituting two of the problems with which the entente representa- tives primarily propose to occupy themselves in the course of the pre- sent conferences.
 M. Barthou, who is president of the commission. communicated this request to Dr. Hermes at the close of today's discussion and the minister on Friday will present a carefully prepared memorial dealing with all phases of German currency and fin- ancial and economic conditions in their relation to reparations.
 This presentation of specific data. will recommend methods which the government deems of immediate necessity in order to accomplish the correction of German currency and the balancing of the budgets and will name as a cardinal condition an international loan to be floated at the earliest possible period in order to accelerate any movement calculated to halt the further disintegration of the mark.

STATE ATTACKS
 INSANITY PLEA Mrs. Rosters Case Expected to Go to Jury This
 Afternoon
Rx Associated Presa

Philadelphia. November 2. - The emotional insanity plea of the de- fense in the defense of Mrs. Catherine Roster tn trial for staying of Miss Mildred c. Reckitt. her husbands stenographer, under indictment for staying her husband, Oscar, at the same time, was attacked today by Maurice J. Speiser, assistant district attorney, summing up the common wealth's case for the Jury.
 The prosecutor denounced Jiie 22- year-old defendant as jealous lit- tie fool' and declared her act was "cold bltoded murder" Asserting that the states witnesses had proved her sane, he said if the Jury found her not insane, 1t was committed to a first degree verdict.
 Mir. Speiser urged the jury to put your feet down on jealous married women who act as the accuser, pros ecutor, judge and executioner." He declared that nothing had been re- vealed detrimental to the character of Jerry" Reckitt except through the unsupported testimony of the de- fendant herself.
 Dr. Daniel J. Mccarthy, alienist and professor of medical Jurisprud- ence at the University of Pennsyl- vania testified that after reading the testimony he believed Mrs. Roster sane.
 John R. K. Scott. chief counsel for the defense, will sum up tomorrow, after which Judge Barrett will charge the jury. The case is there fore not expected to go to the jury for final decision until tomorrow af- ternoon

Havana, November 2.-The United States government has no objection to the Notation of a s5o.0oo,00O for eign loan in accordance with the Cuban governments loan project, ac- cording to statement given out to- night to the press at the department of state. The statement says:
 According to a cablegram from the Cuban charge at Washington, the government of the United States has answered a note presented a few days ago. stating it has no objections to make to the Notation of a $50, ,000.- 900 loan in accordance with the plan of the Cuban government It adds that 1t believed Cuba has proven her ability to take care of the loan charges from ordinary revenues if the budget is not increased in such way as to prejudice this charge and that of the republics other debts.
 Finally, it assumes that the taxes indicated by the President will be sufficient to meet the loan charge, and if at any time they prove insuf- ficient, the President will draw on other funds under the authorization given him.

LOEW'S BILL DELIGHTS
 FIRST AUDIENCE

The audiences that witnessed the opening performances of the five-act bill at Loew's Bijou theatre for the last half of the week were enthusi- astic in their approval. A preten- tious musical extravaganza. including four men and woman leader, gave a gcod rendition of several popular songs. The men were good dancers.
 Headlining the bill by the amount of applause received were Heating and Ross, who put over an amusing musical comedy sketch, The Younger Generation" The comedienne had pleasing personality. Their interpre- tation of the old and new way of love making was clever
 Warman and Mack. two melodious songsters, were not lacking in pep and syncopation and while one enter tained on the piano the other sang several new songs.
 Henry Frey, assisted by Dorothy Rogers, drew a goodly amount of the applause with their clever moaolgue partee kept the audience in con- tinuous uproar. His song, If Had the Money and the Power,' was ex- ceptionally good.
 Ergotti and Herman opened the bill with a series of tumbling. balancing and contortionistic feats. The male member of the act is about four feet tall and his balancing stunts were good. Songs and soft shoe dancing were included in the act.

VIOLENT SCENES
 MARK ASSEMBLY
State of Sultan Discussed by Angora Legislative
 Body
By Assoeiated Pres.

Constantinople. November 2.-vio- lent scenes marked the proceedings of the first Angora assembly during the discussion today of the status of the Sultan. A number of the oppo- sition deputies left the hall; others favored postponement of the question until after the conclusion of peace.
 Dr. Riga Nur Bey, member of the nationalist delegation to Lausanne. yesterday presented motion in- dorsed by 76 deputies declaring that a new Turkey had sprung from the ruins of the Ottoman empire, and proclaiming the Sultan non-existent. This motion was amended today by the addition of the words: "The great national assembly of Turkey will liberate the Caliphate from cap tivity."
 After a lively discussion the mo- ton was referred to commission of judicial experts.
 Mustapha Renal Pasha, in a two- hour speech, outlined the course of Turkish history. He pleaded for the separation of the Sultanate from the Caliphate, pointing out In support of his argument the inconvenience of having the sovereign and Caliph identical and insisted upon the neces- sity of discussion of the project
 The assembly finally adopted a resolution moved by Dr. Riza NIr Bey that the telegram sent to the Angora government by Tewfik Pasha, the grand vizier of the Sultans gov ernment, was an act of treason. and the author of 1t must be-punished.
 (Tewfik Pasha, in his telegram to the nationalist government, renewed his plea that union of the two gov ernments be negotiated, declaring that abstention of the sublime porte from the Lausanne peace conference would have a bad effect on the whole Moslem world. but that non-partici- patton by the nationalists would pre- vent the realization of peace and throw the whole world into anarchy.
