By FRANK H. SIMONDS.

Such hope of a general European
appeasement as may have survived
last weeks events at Genoa should
be disposed of by the speech of
Poincare, the French prime minis
ter. at Bar-le-Duc. This utterance
does two significant things: First.
IT serves notice that France will
withdraw from the Genoa confer
ence IL the questions of reparations
or Of armaments are raised: second.
it indicates that France plans to
act Independently in the matter OF
reparations.- IL Germany does not
comply with the terms fixed by the
reparations commission.
Bear in mind that Germany al
ready has indicated her purpose not
to comply and the whole truth is
plain. In other words. Poincare
driven by conditions within the
French Parliament which are un-
mistIkable. driven by the popular
outcry which has been provoked by
the publication of the Russo-Ger-
man treaty at Genoa last week, has
announced that France means to
use force to compel Germany 10
meet her obligations in the matter
OF reparations and Is prepared to
march alone IL her former allies
will not support her.

Camden Coroner Renders Yer.
dict-WOman Cousin Un-

CAMDEN, n. j., April "a. - The
last doubt that little Ida Kramer
was slain disappeared today when
County Physician Stem reported the
kidnapped child had been struck
two crushing blows on the head be-
fore her body was tossed from a
bridge into Newton Creek, near
Woodlynne, N. ].
Findings of the autopsy had been
anticipated by Prosecutor wolver-
ton. Hours before DIR. Stem began
his postmortem examination he
went to the home of Miss Esther
Tannebaum, who previously had
been questioned in connection with
Ida's. disappearance, and reused
her from sleep.
Since then Miss Tannebaum. a
cousin of the slain girls father.
Isadore Kramer. has been held in

She was still under examination
tonight, and although no formal
charge has been made against her.
the prosecutor said there were
many points to be cleared before
he would consider her release.
Ida's parents insist they have no
suspicion of who killed Ida and
cannot even give a motive for the

VANCOUVER, B. c., April "a
Reports OF big gold strikes In the
Cedar Creek and Whitewater sec
tions of the Cariboo district of Brit.
ish Columbia have started what has
all the earmarks Of another Klon-
dixie rush.
Fabulous tales are being brought
here about the richness Of the new
fields.
The rush has already started, and
groups Of grizzled old prospectors are
going out every day. followed by
parties of clerks, off1ce men and
others with no experience in the hard
life on the trail OF the shining dust.
Whether the new rush will equal
that Of 1S97-9S, which lured thou
sands to the frozen North, is yet TO
be determined. but the influx Of ad-
venturers already is big enough &
make 1t impossible to buy a gol6
pan here.
Prospectors can go to Williams
Lake, within seventy miles OF the
new fields, by railroad. From will
Jams Lake to Cedar Creek is only
sixty miles, and forty miles fur
ther on is Whitewater. and good
roads lead to these places from tn
end of the railroads.

Another victory for Mrs. Nina c.
Van Wrinkle head of the women's
Bureau of the police department,
was in prospect last night. on the
eve of The reconsideration by the
District commissioners OF the find
ings of the recent trial board de-
cision.
The decision, which states that
Mrs. Van Wrinkle has not a proper
conception of discipline" will either
oe stricken out or will be so re-
worded as not to conflict with the
major finding of the board, that
Mrs. Van Wrinkle was not guilty
of insubordination," according to
well-informed circles.

To Revise Regulations.
Commissioner Oyster stated .es-
terday he had hoped to have ready
the revision of the police regula-
tions, as they pertain to the
women's bureau, So that both the
new regulations and the decision o:
the Commissioners on the appeal
might be made public at the same
time. The revision, however, has
been delayed by illness of Ringgold
Hart. assistant corporation counsel
The entire difficulty arose over the
alleged failure of Lieut.. Nina C
Van Wrinkle to release two young
runaway New York girls on demand
OF members of the detective bu-
reau. A second difficulty arose be-
tween the two bureaus some days
after the trial when II was alleped
Lieut.. Van Wrinkle refused to send
woman prisoner over to the de-
tective bureau for questioning.
Backed by Women.

A delegation of women represent

the trial, yesterday filed a petition
with the Commissioners asking
that the Objectionable part of the
finding be stricken out and that
