TREATY OPEN TO sovIETs.
Straight Terms Would "Brine
Russia Back to Europe"

By the Associated Press.
LAUSANNE, June 27.-The allies to-
day took another step toward bring
ing Russia back to Europe" by a de-
cision to invite the soviets to sign
the Turkish straits convention when
the Lausanne treaty is ready for Sig
nature.
The terms for opening the straits
to for reign warships were arranged at
the first conference here. but Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin of Russia, who
was a delegate, objected to this
agreement. The soviet since that
time, and particularly during the ex-
citement following the assassination
here of the soviet envoy Vorovsky.
have contended that Russia never re-
fused to sign the convention and was
entitled to representation in the pres
to see how Russia will greet the
present invitation.
The Ottoman debt problem, set for
discussion today, was again delayed,
as the instructions expected by the
French delegates from the govern
ment were not received. The British
and French still have several points
of difference that must be harmon :
iaed, for the allies are determined to
present the Turks with a complete
accord on this point which Is regard
ed as crucial for the treaty. The
British say the Turks seem more re-
Ceptive to the allied demand that the
foreign concessions must be protected.

NAVY YARD WAGES
RAISED TOPPER CENT
EFFECTIVE JULY |
New Scale Will Affect 2,4OO
Workers in Washington
and Vicinity.
REDUCTION IN NUMBER
OF EMPLOYEES POSSIBLE
Limited Appropriations May Force
Some Men Out to Pay Higher
Hour Rates.

An average increase Of 10 per cent
over the prevailing schedule has been
recommended by the Navy wage
board in its report of a new scale
for employees of the Washington and
other navy yards. effective July /.
1t is understood that the report
will be officially promulgated Satur-
day. Details of the changes as they
will affect Individual yards have been
sent to the various commandments and
will be made public by them.
May Cut Personnel.
In view of the Limitation on pay
set by available appropriations, it
was predicted at the department to-
day that the increase recommended
would necessitate a reduction in per-
sonnel at many of the shore stations.
This ruling, II approved, will raise
the wages of approximately 2,400 en-
ployes of the local navy yard and the
vicinity
Machinists. in the majority Of the
classification Of workers, are at pres
ent getting 73 cents. The new scale
will probably set the rate at 80 cents.
This is an increase of 2 cents over the
recommendation of the Washington
navy yard wage board. but it is .
cents per hour less than the IS cents
requested by the men at the general
hearing.
BoiIermakers Get Raise.
Boilermakers are in the same rela-
tive classification as machinists so
far as wages are concerned. The rate
at present for patternmakers Is 81
cents per hour, and the local wage
board recommended cents per hour
increase in their rates. The general
wage board increases the local wage
board recommendation by a few cents
per hour.
Molders, whose present scale is
about 78 cents per hour, were recon-
mended for a rate of 85 cents by the
local wage board, and in this case it
is believed the local wage boards rec
ommendation will stand

NEW YORK. June 27.-Another

pushing more than fifty stocks down

cluding many representative issues.
While the selling was not in large

HEARING ON NIGHT
PARKING BAN ASKED
National Motorists Associa-
ton Say District Situation
Is Being Studied.

Request for a public hearing before
any restriction is placed on the prac-
tice of all-night parking of machines
on the streets was made to the Com
missioners today by the National
Motorists Association.
The association addressed another
communication to the Commissioners
stating that agents of the organiZa-
tion are now engaged in detailed
study Of the entire parking situation
in the District and the effects of one
way streets, and that all information
thus collected will be placed at the
disposal of the city authorities
Speaking of the proposed ban on
all-night parking in front of homes.
the association wrote:
Our mind is entirely open as to
the advisability of a regulation of
this character. 1t has been brought
to our particular attention that there
is a question as to whether there is
sufficient garage space in the District
of Columbia to adequately take care
of all storage that would be necessary
If a regulation Of this kind is put
into effect"
Both letters were referred by the
Commissioners to Commissioner Oyster.
who supervises all traffic matters.
Special Parking Privileges.
The association also will ask the
District Commissioners for hearing
at which to present a request for spe
cial parking privileges in restricted
areas for physicians in performance
ha frb nf
for the cars of medical men when on
an emergency call. This action was
decided upon at a meeting of the Ma
tional Capital division of the National
Motors Association held at the Ed
monds building yesterday afternoon.
The argument for the physicians
was presented by DR.. z. G. Seibert,
treasurer of the Medical Society of the
District of Columbia and member
of the n. NJ. A. board.
In voting in favor of the physi-
clans the board took into considera-
tion that the medical men do not ask
for permission to exceed the speed
limit at any time and that they agree
to remove the emblem of the Amer
lean Medical Association from the
car of any of their profession who
may be found abusing special privi-
leges
It was pointed out that the plea
Of the physicians Is an indirect plea
for the public and that every physi-
clan is a public servant when called
in an emergency. Instances were cited
where persons have died waiting for
a physician who was delayed running
several blocks to get his car and then
losing valuable time hunting for
parking place. 1t was also pointed out
that more and more cities are extend
ing this privilege to the medical men
and that just recently in California
such privileges were made statewide.

Mgr. 0'Brien of st. Peters
Declared SWindIed by
Fake Stocks.

How wildcat stock statesmen wreck
ed the career and health of Mgr.
James NJ. O'Brien, former pastor of
st. Peters Church, eighty three years
old, was revealed today by those ac-
quainted with the details of transac-
tions which showed the loss of more
than S15O,000 by investments in
fraudulent operations.
Although. in an official statement.
Clarence F. Donohoe and William H.
Manogue, trustees for st. Peters
Church, holding a deed to the per-
sonal inheritance Of Mgr. O'Brien. de-
clared that investigation had disclosed
the fact that Mgr. O'Brien Signed
notes in the sum of 100000 or more
to buy fake stocks" Mr.. Donohoe
added in an interview that the total
sum involved comprised upward of
$3.50, 900.
so Years n Priest.
Operations started about two years
ago, just after Mgr. O'Brien, beloved
by his parishioners of southeast
Washington. where he had devoted
thirty years of his life, had celebrated
the fftieth anniversary of his ordin-
alton as priest.
According to Mr.. Donohue. at the
time, two men came to him and
wormed themselves into his conf
dence. They induced him to invest
in a stock scheme which afterwards
proved worthless. From that time on,
the aged priest was the prey for
swindlers. One step led to another.
Ia Ill

max came shortly before Christmas
of last year.
After losing thousands of dollars
in various fake schemes, Mgr. O'Brien

the remainder of the money over to
the congregation"
To say that Capitol Hill was
stunned at the disclosures which were
brought about through a suit against
the O'Brien estate in West Virginia
by the holders of some of the notes
signed by the priest is to minimize
the actuality. Despite the firm con-
viction that personal and church
funds have gone forever into the NAV
of fake stocks. Pensioners generally
are Of the opinion that Mgr. O'Brien
took everv step in the perfect good
faith that everything would come
out beneficial in the end.
Many Schemes Used.
There were all sorts of schemes
used to extract the money, accord
ing to Mr.. Donohoe. Ninety-nine
per cent of the stock turned over
by Mgr. O'Brien to the trustees was
found to be worth less than the
paper II was written on.

NEW STREET LIGHT
PLAN UNDER WAY
Committee of Experts Con-
sidering Changes in Capt.
tai System.

Assisted by committee of experts,
District officials are at work today on
plan for extending and improving
the street lighting system of Wash
ington over a flve-year period.
1t is understood that when the plan
is finally perfected, which will be
within a few weeks. 1t will call for
the gradual elimination Of gas street
lamps.
Discussing this possibility today. ].
S. McIlhenny, engineer of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company, said the
gas company would not stand in the
way of any program adopted by the
committee that would be in the in
terest OF improving and beautifying
the National Capital.
Question Of Expense.
1t was pointed out by one city Off
cial that the District could not afford
to replace all gas lamps with cleo
tricity at one time. The work of re-
placement would have to be gradual.
1t also is regarded as certain that
as q result of the conferences now
being held the committee will rec
ommend much larger appropriations
for Illuminating streets than have
been obtained In the past.
Definite estimates of the amount
needed to give Washington the quail
fly and volume Of street lighting It
should have have not. yet been
worked out Such figures will be
available, however in time for. con-
sideration by the Commissioners be-
fore the new estimates go to Con-
gress.
New Type of Posts.
The committee also is going into
the advisability OF making street
lighting posts taller and more orna-
mental on the main thoroughfares
One proposal Is that a more elab-
crate lighting scheme be adopted for
Pennsylvania avenue. The posts now
lining the avenue could be trans
ferred to some other street II a new
scheme Is adopted.
