WAR UPON ILLEGAL
PARKING WILL OPEN
Six Bicycle Police to Be AS
signed to Task-Improve-
ment Hoped For.

Acting upon the suggestion ofCom-
missioner oyster. Maj. Sullivan an
nounced today that six bicycle police
men would be detailed to the traffic
bureau as special squad to make
war on auto parking violators in the
congested section of the city
These men will be instructed to
take certain streets each day and
are left parked beyond the half-hour
limit an prosecute the violators.
The regular patrelmen are unable
to make much headway with parking
enforcement, because, in order to make
a good case. they must have evidence
that the machine has remained in
one place longer than the allotted
time.
FOresees Improvement.
The Commissioner said he realized
that half a dozen men will not be
able to cover the congested area all
the time. but he believes they will
effect noticeable improvement in the
parking situation.
Capt. oyster expressed the opinion
yesterday that the biggest factor in
parking congestion is the motorist
who drives downtown to work in the
morning and leaves his car at one
location until it is time to return
home in the evening.
One-Way Streets Approved.
Two more letters were received by
the Commissioners today indorsing their
stand in retaining one-way streets.
One communication was from the
Washington Automotive Trade As
sociation, which has voted in favor of
one-direction traffic streets.
The other Endorsement was from
C. B. Rodrick. 719 18th street, who
expressed the belief that 18th and
18th streets were more congested
when they were two-way thorough
fares than they are now. He con-
cluded his letter by voicing the hope
that more one-way arteries would be
designated.
Commissioner Oyster declared to-
day he was more convinced than ever
chat one-way streets are an advantage
and should be retained

which definitely left behind when
resigned the office of chancellor"
Freely Answers Questions.
Cuno, businesslike middle-aged
man with a perfect command of Eng
lish, freely answered questions of re-
porters.
Before he became chancellor, he said,
he had been offered the ambassadorship
to the United States several times. but
refused. Asked if he were coming here
now to relieve DR.. Otto Wiedfeldt, the
present ambassador, he answered:
The o fice hasn't been offered to me
since i resigned as chancellor" After
some hesitation he said he would re-
fuse the, post If 1t were offered to him
now.
The former chancellor denied he was
here In the interest of q proposed one
billion dollar interallied loan to Ger
mainy or to arrange extension of the
Harnburg-American and w. A. Harri-
man shipping combine.
Informed that Count Kesler, German
spokesman at the recent institute of
politics at Williamstown, Mass, had
predicted several weeks ago that Ger
many would collapse financially and in
dustrialy within month, DR.. Cuno
laughed merrily.
In a formal statement he said
"TAe Germans realize that Germany
lost the war, and that Germany. there
fore, must pay for the war. Germany
is willing to pay to the limit of her
ca pacity. Life in the Ruhr districts,
the Industrial heart of Germany, Is at
standstill, and until the Rrhr con-
fijct has been settled, no one can esti-
mate Germany capacity to pay"

BUDGET AS REVISED
GOING TO BUREAU
Commissioners Hope Part of
S7,000,00o Slash Will
Be Restored.

Although the revised estimates for
next year will 60 to the budget bureau
tomorrow stripped from S32.500,00O 40
approximately $25.100.O 900, the Commits
sioners are hopeful of having part of
the stricken amount restored at the
Treasury Department.
Taking advantage of a privilege ex-
tended them by Gen. Lord, the Com
missioners also will send forward tomor-
row list of supplemental requests
amounting to nearly s7.00o,o00, and in
Guiding practically everything that has
been eliminated from the regular budget
Letter Explains Needs.
Accompanying the two sets of es-
Inmates will be letter. written by Audi
tor Daniel ]. Donovan and approved by
the Commissioners, explaining to Gen.
Lord the absolute necessity for appro-
priating the funds asked for in the sup
Elemental list.
When the city heads sent forth
their preliminary expense sheets
amounting to 32.500.000 they felt
that that figure represented the min
imum sum needed to provide the tax
streets, sewer and water mains and
police and fire protection.
They feel that they will be able to
convince the budget officers that the
local government of Washington pre-
sents a financial problem entirely diff
felent from that of the various de-
partments of the federal government.
In the first place, the federal gov
ernment meets only 40 per cent of the
total amount appropriated for Wash
ington, whereas the estimates of a
federal department are a full charge
against the national treasury.
In the second place, District officials
point out, there are certain classes of
improvements. such as sewer and
water extensions, street and sidewalk
surfacing, to which property owners
are justly entitled when they build
houses and pay taxes on them. Not
only do home owners pay their real
estate taxes. but they stand special
assessments for these improvements,
which result in bringing back into the
Treasury a considerable portion of the
money appropriated.
The situation which the municipal
ity will face next year if the present
limitation of $25,000,000 on the esti-
Inmates stands will be dealt with in
a comprehensive way by the Commits
sioners in the letter of transmittal to-
morrow.
Personal Visits Planned.
The Commissioners and their de-
partment heads will, have to appear
before the budget officers within the
next few weeks to explain in person
the need for each of the items con-
tanned in the supplemental list.
1t also is likely that representatives
of the budget office will repeat the
practice of last year by making per-
sonal tours of the city to get first
hand information on the need for
street improvements and other essen
tial projects.

BY HIRAM X. MoDERwELL,

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN, September 1.-THE gov
ernment today was quietly canceling
Ruhr credits and withdrawing ordi-
nances relative to passive resistance.
This will not be published widely,
but will be allowed gradually to pene-
trate the nations consciousness. The
government must spare German feel
ings because of the internal situation.
The purpose of this action is to in
huence French opinion before Sunday
in the hope that Premier Poincare's
Sunday speech will open the way to
the formal German note Monday. This
nete already has been drafted and
would have been sent today had the
French reception of Premier Strese-
mann's Wednesday speech been more
favorable.
Spontaneous Affair.
For internal consumption the gov
ernment will represent that passive
resistance has always been a spon-
taneous affair of the Ruhr population,
which will continue ii If they wish.
Actually, whole leadership has been
given over to trade union leaders In
the Ruhr. and they will undoubtedly
continue some form of passive resist
ance until the occupation is modified,

that the new arrangement will be a
great help to the French in their
task of directly exploiting the Ruhr.
The attitude of the Ruhr population
will not be governed by orders from
Berlin, but by the degree of "invisi-
biiity" of the French occupa tion. If
troops are withdrawn from the cities
the population probably will resume
normal work. If not. considerable
trouble may be expected. The Ruhr

Mussolini declares the annexation Of
Fiume to Italy he will announce the
withdrawal of the Italian troops from
Porto Barros. the adjoining harbor, it
is learned here from an authoritative
quarter. He will thus give up any claim
to that port, to Sussak and to the delta
there. which will be left to Jugoslavia.
This, it is stated, is the result of
direct negotiations now going on be-
tween Mussolini and the Jugoslav gov
ernment, which are reported at about
the point of completion, Jugoslavia be-
ing satisfied to have a free hand in the
development of the ports left to it.
Premier Mussolinis declaration of the
annexation of Fiume was fixed for to-
morrow. the 18th, according to previous
announcement and it is tomorrow also
that the time limit expires on Musso-

Up to almost the last moment the
Italians insisted that the powers
ought to take Premier Mussolinfs
word as to the evacuation, and leave
it to him TO fix the exact date after

ISADORA'S HUSBAND

PARIS.-Serge Essenin was arrest

from the Crillon hotel early this morn

Serge rolled in the hotel about z
O'Clock this morning lit up and soon
the guests heard roars, yells, breaking
bottles and glasses being thrown out
of the windows. Serge then tried to
smash the door connecting with the
room occupied by an American NIL
1ionairess, who was terrified, while
Isadora rushed into the corridor light-
lier clad than even in her most daring
dances, screaming for help.

Essenin was dragged to the station

Serge to another hotel when he sober
ed up. Isadora has taken refuge in
friends home.
The room looked like cyclone had
struck it after the police had dragged
out the Russian.
Serge left Paris at O'Clock tonight
for Moscow, via Berlin, accompanied
by three of Isadora Duncan's. female
com oanions to make sure he does not
leave the train.
Serge denies that he and Isadora
have split, but she declines to make
any statement whether her matrimo-
NAL venture has ended. Friends insist
that she found her youthful tempera-
mental husband too much and every
thing is off between them.

Before he fled Serge took some of
Isadora's money. So he admitted in a

use this as a legal means to retain her
hold on him.

Beside Isadora's money Serge also
took Isadora's French maid, Jeanne.

not be gentlemanly. But am a ge-
