ASK EARLY VERDICT.
ON VANS APPEAL.
Officials Request Advance of
Hearing for Man Sentenced
to Be Hanged.

The Supreme Court was asked today
by the government to advance the
hearing of the appeal OF Ziang Sung
Wan, convicted here of the murder
of Ben Sen WI and sentenced to be
hanged.
Pointing out that the question at
issue is whether, the trial court had
properly admitted certain confessions
made by Ziang Sung Wan, which it
was contended had been involuntarily
made, and that the same question
was involved in the case of Edgar
Randolph Perrygo. pending in the
Court of Appeals OF the District. and
was frequently presented in other
criminal cases In the federal courts
here and elsewhere. the government
in it's brief suggested that 1t was
highly important that the question
should be promptly and finally de-
cided by the Supreme Court.

DUEL HALTED UNTIL
after ELECTION
Mexican General and Candidate for
President Agree to an -
Armistice.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, November 10.-The
duel between Gen. Arnulfo Gomez. COM
mander Of the Mexico City garrison.
and Gen. Antonio villareal, presi-
Dental candidate, which was to have
taken place at dawn today. has been
postponed until after the elections.
This decision was reached last night
by the seconds Of the two men. 1t was
decided that inasmuch as duels are a
criminal offense, Villareal would have
been subject to a term In prison had
the engagement taken place, and thus
deprived of his rights as a citizen he
could not have gone before the people
as a candidate for the presidency.
The dispute between Gomez and VII
lareal rose from an exchange Of charges
Of reprehensible conduct on the field Of
battle following comments made by the
candidate concerning the recent allega-
tions Of co-operatista deputies that
Gen. Gomez was implicated in plot to
attack them. The seconds have agreed
that the duel will take place within
three days after the election.

LUDENDORFFFALL
D|SGUSTS GERMANS
Bubble of His 0mnipotence
Bursts When He Is Captured
as Common Criminal.
by HIRAM X. MODERWELL.

COPYRIGHT, 1923.
BERLIN. November 10.-with the
capture of the beer hall which Hitler
troops had occupied Friday anotkSr
famous legend was exploded-that ef
the omnipotence and emiscience OF
LudendorH.
This man who once made nations
tremble, whose promised victory per-
suaded half a million Germans to go to
their death in the spring of 1918,
proved SO politically incompetent In
making an alliance with a former
Austrian sign painter that withiL
twenty-four hours he was pinched
like a common criminal.
And Hitler's pitiful miscalculations
and ridiculous failure may open the
eyes of several hundred thousands,
who permitted such q man to. take
the terrible responsibility of organ
izing civil war. Httler's' calcula-
tion was that II he once got Dictator
Won Kahr into trap the latter would
be helpless, because no troops would
mach mach against the "superman" Luden-
Won Kahr agrees"
But Won Kahr, with his usual dex-
terity. pretended to agree to Hitlers
scheme for organizing a national gov
ernment in Munich, thus avoiding ar
rest and possible disorganization Of
his forces, and then walked calmly
with his friend, Gen. Won Lossow, to
the nearest Reichswehr barracks and
issued orders against the conspirators
He knew that Ludendorff's name was
not so terrible as it was supposed
to be.
The people had not forgotten that

MAY FRAME CODE
|. ON CHILD WELFARE
Rudolph to Ask Sage Founda-
ton Experts to Com
pIete Work.

Possibility Of having the Russell
Sage Foundation proceed with the
framing of a new child welfare code
for Washington will be discussed at
a conference on Monday between
Commissioner Rudolph and two rep
resentatives of the foundation.
Mr.. Rudolph explained today that
the meeting Is not for the purpose of
beginning the actual work. but mere
ly to find out whether 1t will be pos
sible to have the foundation bear the
expense of doing 1t. The Commission
er explained that the District has no
fund with which to pay for such
task.
The conference will be attended by
Dr. Hastings Hart, director of the
child welfare for the foundation, and
w. w. Hodson. another expert con-
nected with the Russell Sage organ
ization.
The Commissioners for a number of
years have had organized child well
fare code commission, headed by JUS
tice Frederick L. Siddons of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. The Commits
sioner expects to find out at Mondays
meeting whether 1t will be possible
to get the services of the Russell

Conflicting Report

BY the Associate ted Press
BERLIN. November 10.-In a note to
the council Of ambassadors today Ger
many requested the allies to postpone
the resumption and extension Of mill
tary control by the commission Of allied
officers.
While declining to guarantee the safety
of the commission under the present
conditions the German government as
sures the council that Germany does
not intend to contest her obligations
under the treaty, but sets forth that
she is unable to fulfill all Of them now.
THE German government has no, in
tention of contesting the obligation de-
volving upon It under the treaty of
Versailles" the note says. at finds
itself constrained, however, to declare
that in the present circumstances it Is
not in position to execute these OBJ
legations in all points.
Because of the course events have
taken IN Germany the resumption OF
the control operations at this moment
fiict that would considerably aggravate
the internal political situation. The
situation would be all the more grave
because, according to reports from all
the domestic services concerned with
the matter, the appearance of the inter-
allied control officials would inevitably
bring about incidents, SO that difficult
ties of foreign politics would be added
to the internal difficulties.
1.-The council of ambassadors ought
to recognize that the present moment
is not a propitious one in which to
demand of the German government
the strict execution of the. exactions
contained in the note of November 3.
The German government consequent
dors to postpone its exactions

END BOOTLEG SALES
FROM us. BUILDING
|Lunchroom Proprietors Cut
Phone Line to Halt Activities
Near Police Headquarters.

That a thriving bootleg traffic is be-
ing conducted within the shadow of
police headquarters, with activities
centsring in a lunchroom located in a
government-owned building at 14th
street and Pennsylvania avenue. was
disclosed in a letter sent by w. G.
Platt, chief clerk of the Treasury De-
partment, to proprietorS of the lunch
room.
Apparent inability of the police and
prohibition agents to cope with the
bootleg situation in that vicinity was
indicated in the letter. which was sent
to McHugh & Brown. propreitors of
the Western Lunch. 1406 Pennsylvania
avenue. The letter told of complaints
of bootleggers having transacted busi-
ness over the telephone in the lunch
room. The property is rented by Nc
Hugh & Brown.
Fully two months ago the police
called the attention of the proprietorS
to reports of alleged bootleg operations
over the telephone in the lunchroom
and asked their cooperation in an ef-
fort to put a stop to the practice.
Warning Is Sent.

yesterday Chief Clerk Platt sent the
proprietors of the lunchroom the fol-
lowing message:

port that had been made to me con-
fldentially with reference to men lott

LONDON, November. 10.-Former
Crown Prince Frederick William of
Germany left Wieringen about
o'clock this morning and mystery sur
rounds his whereabouts. says a Cen
trail News dispatch from Amsterdam.
The prince was seen in motor car
in a small mainland town few miles
from the coast at 4:30 O'clock this
morning. Another car heavily loaded
with baggage and petrol followed and
from this the correspondent assumes
Frederick William was going on a
long journey. Two chauffeurs and
an unidentified person accompanied
the prince.
Inquiry at wieringen ELECTED the
statement that Frederick William was
going to Doom. but at Doom castle 1t
was stated that the prince had not ar
rived and that he was not expected.
The correspondent adds that many
rumors are in circulation. one of which
is that the prince intends to cross the

ENOUGH HARD COAL
FORD.C c. DUE SOON
Local Dealers Expect Supply
When Shipments Cease on
Great Lakes.

Users of anthracite coal in the Dis
able to purchase coal in sufficient
quantity this fall will probably be
able to buy anthracite in any quantity
after November 20.
By that date dealers believe ship
ments of anthracite to the northwest
via the great lakes will have drop
ped off and navigation on the lakes
will be almost completely closed for
the winter. releasing shipments of
anthracite to the south, most of which
will come through or near Washing
ton.
Anthracite shipments to the Capital
have been unusually light this fall
not alone on account of the miners
strike last summer. but because
northwest and New England points
have demanded full shipments before
navigation closes on the lakes and
winter causes a partial shutdown of
rail and water shipments. At pres
ent there is little anthracite to be
had in Washington at any price, ac-
cording to dealers, and next month
the price may be increased.
Plenty of Soft Coal.
The bituminous situation is Just the
reverse of that regarding anthracite.
Plenty of bituminous coal is on hand
in dealers bins. at the lowest price
for many months Bituminous is SELL
ing generally at between 81 and So q
ton, while one grade sells far below
81. Delivery can be made in practi-
cally any amount of bituminous.
Seventeen companies mining anthra-
cite coal operated on a margin of less
than 81 per ton from January to
March, 1928, the United States Coal
Commission announced today, while
forty-eight companies operated on
margins between 81 and So ton. with
six companies receiving more than Sc
a ton margin for their coal. Ten
s2.49 margin. while only one company
reported a cost in excess of sales
realization.
Show Large Increase
Compared to the margins on which
anthracite operators worked before
the war present-day margins show a
large increase. In the four years be-
fore the United States entered the
war she average margin for the
TdllrOdu coal companies was 81 cents
a ton. In 1919 the average margin
was 81 cents. In 1920 and 1921 for
these companies 1t was 56 cents and
S5 cents respectively, with the aver
age for 1921 more than twice as great
as the pre-war average.
During the coal strike of 1922 the
companies lost heavily and opera
tions for the year as a whole showed
loss. After the resumption of
mining. however, the commission said
margins rose to the highest point
of record in ten years. For the last
quarter of 1922 the average of the
railroad coal companies was $115
and in the first quarter of 1928 /,
was $1.1S, or more than three times
the pre-war average. The large mar
gins Of late 1922 and early 1929, the
commission said, were due in part to
the active demand for steam sizes and
in part to the fact that the railroad
companies advanced the price OF
domestic coal slightly.
