AMERICANS INCENSED
AT CHARGES MADE
AGAINST RED CROSS
u. S. Branch Does Not
Seek to Dominate,
They Say.

Paris. Aug. 29.-Charges made at
the Geneva congress Of the internd-
tional Red Cross that the American
Red Cross seeks by its financial
weight to dominate Red Cross work
throughout the world have caused a
breach which the American delegates
say cannot be healed until the charges
are withdrawn.
The charges are contained in re-
port on the negotiations for fusion
of the International Red Cross and
the League of Red Cross Societies, j
prtion of which reads:
The International Red Cross com.
mittee does not believe that in the
domain of Red Cross work supremacy
of influence must belong TO those who
are most powerful financially. Money.
whic hpermits creation of function
aries. is certainly useful. but it-must
not give them the impression that
they are the masters OF an institution
such as the International Red Cross
The report came to the attention Of
Ernest L. Bucknell. head of the Amer.
lean delegation TO the Geneva meeting
upon his arrival in Paris. After con-
sidering its contents. he cancelled the
remainder of his trip and. jointly
with Robert f. Odds and William
Pearce. the other delegates. drew up
a letter of protest which was read be-
fore the Geneva conference by DE-.
De Page of Belgium.
The letter set forth that the repor'
Of the international committee "can.
not fail to challenge the anxious con
sideration of all who have the welfare
Of the Red Cross at heart"
I'VE have been reluctant" the leS-
ter continued, Ito interpret the report
as including any intentional attack
upon the American Red Cross: never
iAeless inquiry among representatives
Of the other societies leaves no DOUBT
of its being generally so regarded.
and it is hardly open TO any other
construction. We are therefore force3
to conclude that the international COM
mittee has by insinuation and innuea-
do, as well as by direct statement,
made grave reflection upon the mo
tives of the national institution we
represent"
The letter conclyudes by resembling
the American acceptance Of the invita-.
ton to participate in the Geneva
meeting and expresses desire for
prompt voluntary withdrawal and re-
pudiation" of the charges.

Finds ':Shoot to Kill" Order
Strong Deterrent to Crime

innocent persOns-but when it's a
crook let him have it. Shoot to kill.
will stand behind you," is the gist OF
his instructions.
Use Armored Cars Too.
Activities did. not stop there, how
ever, two hundred police Officers were
put in half as many armored flivvers,
each carrying an automatic shotgun
loaded with buckshot and rapid fire
rifle that will shoot 400 bullets n
misute. and set to patrolling every
street in the city. Not only that. but
dozen larger armored cars with a
squad of similarly armed officers wait
ed in readiness at various police sta
tions to swoop down upon any hijacker
who showed his head. During day
light hours the same armored ears with
other officers were put to cruising the
streets in watchful quest for thugs
attempting payroll robberies.
That the gauntlet throw down by
the police has had its beneficient eff
feet for honest citizens and that thug
psychology got sudden jolt that made
EN- sit up and take notice, is attested
by results i'm the past As hours. Where
a week ago Saturday night-the week
end is always a fruitful period FOL
stick-up men-there were almost hall
hundred bold holdups, the number
dwindled to only three Saturday night
The second night on which the "shoot
to kill'' order was in effect there were
only two. On the same Sunday night
a week ago there were % holdups. And
the sudden drop in the wave of law
lessness has come thus far without
the police having TO kill or wound a
single thus. The knowledge that they
were ready and anxious to. do so has
f, had it's good effects. however. The
bandit element is simply making itseli
scarce. 1t is safer. and this time the
''shoot TO kill' order will stick.

SUBSTITUTE FUELS
PROVE AS GOOD AS
ANTHRACITE COAL
Bituminous and By-pro-
ducts Give Good Service,
Reports Show.

Washington. ID. C., Aug. 29.-As n
part of its campaign of education IN
the use of anthracite substitutes the
| bureau Of mines made public today
| two reports by its experts on the
qualities OF bituminous coal. cox"
briquettes and other substitute fuels.
One of the reports. submitted BY
q. r. Hood. chief mechanical engineer
of the bureau. declares that while an
thracite is probably the most desirable
solid fuel for the heating of residences.
cit is by no means n necessity and in
tclligent people can face the use OF
some less desirable form Of fuel with
equanimity.
The other was drawn up by Rudolf
Kudlich. assistant chief mechanical,
engineer. who after going into the
whole field of substitutes is some de-
tail. concluded that the country must.
look mainly TO bituminous coal OF
various grades or TO coke. which is
made firm bituminous coal. or our real
substitutes for anthracite
In statement summarizing the two
reports. the bureau gives the public
this advice:
"Take it the season through from
III TO - per cent InoIt bituhlihuuS
coal is likely TO be needed than OF
anthracite although with increased
skill. and attention the proportion
might even be reversed.
There are other substitutes that
may be had locally. There is an in
creasing amount of good briquette
fuel available. This is handled like an-
thracite, requires little added attention
and the satisfaction resulting depends
upon the quality fthe briquettes.
There IL an increasing use OF OIL
where available. This requires consIG-
cradle installation cost and the burnt
ing cost is usually greater. but the
character of service may be very good.
Heating by gas has all the advani-
ages and few disadvantages except
cost. Neither of these fuels are IN
any large sense available on short no.
tice as substitute for anthracite.

sizes of anthracite can be obtained.

orders to all officers to "shoot to kill'

Authorities here. and citizens. too,
are asking themselves that ,.Iestion

two. mdnths such program has re-

Now they are commencing TO wonder

full violence-a policy of sudden death
for the thug who starts ont with MUIR
drrous automatic and black mask
isn't the real effective panacea for

Police orders TO shoot to kill'' were
first issued here two months ago.
Within sixty hours thereafter three
payroll bandits and two ordinary stick
up men had been shot to death by Off
GERS and eight or nine Others grievious-
~ wounded. Strange to say the public
did not like such drastic action being
taken against even desperate criminals.
Public opinion forced the police to
soft pedal" on thug shooting. Mean
while. however. there was surprising
drop in all kinds of crime.
Public Opinion Changes.
Now the "shoo. to kill" orders are
in effect again. Thev were ISSUED fol-
lowing weeks in which there were a
score Of bold holdups nightly. several
daylight payroll robberies and an al
most unavoidable number of bur-
glaries. In several instances thugs did
not hesitate at shooting victims who
showed resistance. Also there were
several vicious attacks upon women in
connection with robbcries. Public
opinion changed. 1t demanded drastic
action-quick.
Chief of Police Dan O'Brien prompt
ly met it by laying in an extra supply
OF shotguns. g dealt them out to
virtually all officers on night duty and
told them what to do in no uncertain

FATHER Of HURT
SEAMAN SUES
SHIP LINE
10000 Asked for Injuries
Sustained by Youth on
Voyage.
BY international News Service.


NORFOLK, Va, Nov. ga libel
for $4,000 was filed in Federal
court here today against the Mat.
son Navigation Company by S. G
Matthews, of Newport News, on
behalf OF his son, Tommy, for per-
sonal injuries. The attachment
was served on the steamship Woon-
socket, or the Matson line, now IN
Hampton Roads.
In 1921 Tommy Matthews, then
eighteen, signed on the steamship
Hawkeye State, of the Matson line,
as a deck boy, being assigned to
such duties as his rating specified.
On her way across the Pacific,
bound for Japan and China, the
Hawkeye State was caught in. q
typhoon. When the tremendous
storm broke, younS Matthews was
ordered by the first mate, according
to the allegation, to help cover a
hatch with iarrpaulin. This,
Matthews declares. should have
been done by able-bodied seamen.
While performing this work, a
huge wave engulfed the ship and
Matthews were hurled against a
hatch coaming and his leg broken
in two places, and he was nearly
washed overheard, all due to his in.
experience, according to charges.
Since that time, he declares, the
injury has prevented him from do
ing any work or to play in any
games that put strain on the in.
jured leg.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-While
treading on grapes in a wine vat
twelve feet deen. in a barn in the
rear Of his home in Newark, Louis
Russomans was overcome by the
fumes from the fermentation. He
