During the past six months there

tried by the court on pleas OF guilty
by defendants totaled 451. There
were acquitted by the court cases.

of which there were acquittals by
the court, leaving q total of 493 con-

tions in cases tried for the period was
sS with a percentage of 100 in cases
tried by juries. The total amount of
moneys paid in as fines for the period
in these cases was $70,402.
Officials of the courts expect that
the business in this branch of the

there has been a corresponding ad-

farmer must buy. the total sum which
farmers will receive for the crops of

This Will certainly mean better times
on the farm. and farm folks will be

The labor cost of producing the
crops of 1922 was still further re-

but without results
Commissioner Oyster also declared
Yesterday that he would like to see
some definite step taken in the near
future looking to the improvement
OF the river front along the Water
street side of Washington channel.
Washington at this time has only
a nominal bonded debt of less than
slo1.000. which will be entirely wiped
out by August. 1924. In suggesting a
new bond issue Commissioner Oyster
was prompted by the belief that the
city will be many years In obtaining
the improvements that have accumu-
lated II only the annual appropria-
ton bills are to be relied upon. As
each year goes by the growth OF the
city will necessitate more schools
and more street and sewer work in
addition to what is required today.

Should it be impossible now to

ernment suggests that a portion of
1t be f1oated five years hence. 1t is
recommended that the loan carry 5
per cent interest, with amortization
at ] per cent
Germany undertakes to raise part
of this loan internally. This portion,
it is stipulated. would be devoted to
stabiliZation of the mark.
DR.. Theodor Melchior, head of the
Warburg banking interests here, is
understood to be the chief author of
this plan.
Whether the proposals will be pre-
sented by Bergman at Paris in the
form of a diplomatic note or orally
is not known tonight.
The plan has the support OF Ger
man industry. The socialists, how
ever. express bitterness over the
chancellor's failure to consult them
in the formation Of it. They express
the fear. too, that the sweeping guar
antees offered may entail mortgaging
the railways. mines and other ma
tional property resources to the pro-
posed foreign consortium.
Since the granting of such guar
antees must be approved by the
reichstag. q union Of the socialists
and extreme nationalists there may

policy is to put 1t mildly. There is
not much in the speech OF the Sec
retary of State which Great Britain
can fail to support. Coming from
such a source. it is bound, too. to
create a profound impression in every
European country. The fac. that
Mr.. Hughes should have offered sug-
gestions at this time for remedyfns
the perplexed European situation has
greatly encouraged the hope today
that a solution may be reached.
Within tho last few days 1t is
known that Secretary Hughes has
sounded out French Official opinion
through Ambassador Jusserand, and
the fact that he elected to make the
New Haven pronouncement is inter-
preted as an indication that he has
received encouragement from that
source.

That the speech 10 bound to have
q marked effect on the conferences
Of the allied premiers at Paris next

More than ever. now. tho premiers
have an incentive to come to an un-
derstanding. Should Premier Poin-

no is running counter to American
as well as British opinion.
Whatever tho outcome At Paris,
however. some further action by the
