51 GERMANS LOsE LIVES IN CLASHES
 IN RUHR DISTRICT
Berlin Government Claims French Playing Losing
 Game Along Rhine

BERLIN, April 14.-Fifty- one per sons have been killed. 1o0 injured. 5000 expelled and several hundred imprisoned since the French occupied the Ruhr valley three months ago.. according to-sa statement made to- night by the German government.
 Twenty five of those who lost their lives were workmen, 13 officials and 13 civilians. according to the statis- tics gather by Chancellor Cuno's representatives. The French, it was stated, are responsible for 4S of the deaths and the Relgians for three.
 The first three months of the ad venture, according to the German point of view, has shown that the French have failed completely in their plan to dig reparations out of the Ruhr,
 Get Less Coal.
 The French have only been able to transport 25S.o00 tons of coal dur ing the occupation. whereas they would have obtained 4.200,000 tons by regular deliveries if the industrial area had not been invaded.
 E Furthermore, the Germans declare. the Ruhr occupation, instead of pro- ducing reparations, has saddled in- creased taxation on the French citi zens. causing widespread dissatisfac- tion throughout the country.
 There is no indication from the German government that 1t is likely to back down in it's course of passive resistance to the French. ! As mat ter of fact sabotage is on the in- crease. During the last 24 hours four efforts have been made to wreck trains carrying coke out of the dis trict.
 The Germans take heart in the fact that the French have practically ad mitted their inability to expell. the German railroaders who refuse to man the roads the Franco Belgian raiuroad administration. The admis- sion that the French do not intend to compel all those who will not CO., operate to leave the district is taken as sign of weakness.
 The government. however. mak es no attempt to disguise the fact that the Ruhr occupation has caused great hardships to the German people. The occupation has already been reflect ed in the cost of living. The price of manufactured products recently lfa $ been greatly enhanced because fac tories now must use high priced American and English coal instead of the fuel that was brought coll veniently and cheaply from the Ruhr
 The increased cost of living has re- suited in frequent and urgent pro- tests to the Cuno government against it's present policy. Hugo Shines and other rich industrialists, whose in come in the Ruhr has been entirely cut off, are urging the government, it is understood, to make a new repara- tions offer to France. Similar de mands are coming from the work in g classes of the country.

COMPTROLLER STANDS HIS GROUND AGAINST
 MEMBERS OF CABINET
Denby Latest To Feel Author
 ity of Newly Created :, Office

WASHINGTON, April l4.-J. R. Mc- Carl, of Nebraska, who two years ago unostentatously took up the duties of the newly created office of comp troller general of the United States, today laid down the law to Secretary Denby in support of his claim that even cabinet officers must bow be- fore the authority of his office in fis- cal affairs.
 At the same time, Secretary Denby prepared to take to the Attorney General for an opinion the question of how far the authority of the comp | troller general legally extends into\ the administrative workings of the navy department. Many navy off cers and enlisted men have complain in ed, navy department officers said. that MT. McCarl had. in effect over ruled formal naval orders.
 Mir McCarlis action, constituting a warning to all government depart ments that he intends to force strict compliance with the law in the eX- penditure of public money, became known through a letter he addressed to the Navy Secretary, in which he asserted that so long as he ruled oh matters within his jurisdiction his authority under the law, could be questioned by no official of the exec utiVe branch of the government. Provisions of the budget act in which the office of comptroller general was created say specifically that he as head of the general accounting office may air his powers without direc- tion from any other office"
 The controversy over MT. McCarls authority came to a head through a protest of Secretary Denby against the comptroller's ruling in minor case involving the over-paying of an enlisted man. Mr. McCarl instructed ba fap ri, mt c of flee to get the money back. Secre- tary Denby opposed the action as .in- terference,S within his department, and MT. McCarl sent a letter which informed the Navy Secretary in part as follows:
 administrative powers as are given the head of the navy department to' issue an order annulling request ef this office to protect the fiscal af- fairs of the United States and which ismight jeopardize such recovery (of government money) as the action ap pears to have been in this case"
 Whether an "open war" will con- tinue between the two seemed un- likly, although Mr. McCarfs determ- ination to stand his ground did not promise an early compromise. The law provides that the comptrolleI's Is year appointment is subject to termination only by congressional ac- tion and MT. McCarrs supporters re- ferred tonight to reports by congress sional committees which handled the budget measure which say, in sub stance, that Congress desired that 1t alone should control the pulsebeat of federal expenditures, and. therefore tn comptroller general was made re- sponsible to congress alone.
 Secretary Fall, prior to his retire .ment az interior department head encount tered the positive stand of the comptrollr general on sveral occa- sionS.

MARSHAL FORCES FUR COMING FIGHT ON PRISON REFORM
Thorough Probe Of All Florida Camps Is Now
 Likely

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April 14.- (By Associated Press. )-Alleged mis- treatment of convicts in Florida re- cussion during the week end recess of the legislature here today with prison reformers marshaling their forces for the expected fight on pro- posed Legislation to abolish the whip, along with the county convict lease system They consider their fight as good as won in so far as the lease system goes, but their efforts to do awaN with corporal punishment IS slated for some opposition, if present indications hold good.
 The possible scope of the leglsla- tive inquiry, started last week and now halted over the week end. was enlarged today when Senator H. B. Lindsey began gathering friends in support of his effort to charge the Investigating committee with an in- quiry into all reports of convict abuses. whether they be state or county prisoners.
 The point seems to be lost in all the excitement growing out of the death of Martin Tabert, ofgNorth Da : kota, alleged victim of s private boss whip. Mr. Lindsey stated today that like abuses can occur just as well in state camps.
 O O O
 Human Element Involved.
 The private camps are maintained under the supervision of the state, he declared, when you abolish the county lease system, there is no assurance of good treatment. necessarily for the prisoner, >s The human element is still involved. he said. MT. Lindsey dio not say that he favored the abolition of the whip. but made known that he wanted thorough study of condi- tons now that the thing is under fire And in his studies he unearthed the efforts of Commissioner of Asri- culture w. A. McRae, to have re- moved since last January state con- viet boss in Duval- county. alleged in several reports to the commissioner by State Prison Inspector J. B. Thom- as to have carried on brutal prac- tices.

MUSS0L L|N| | | $ FORWARD TO MEET
 CABINET t RISIS
Popu|ist Party Shows Antag- onism to ItaIy's Fascist
 Leader

ROME, April .14.-The fate that in exorably overtakes all European gov ernments loomed today for Premier Mrssolini, and the Fascist chieftain went out half way to meet it.
 A cabinet crisis is threatened and Mussolini. instead of evading it, is go'Ng to force one.
 populist party congress today pas :d resolutions substantially an tagonistic to the Fascist The sig niricance of this is that it marks the end of the entente between these two groups which has formed the founda- ton for Mussolini's regime. Without the populist collaboration, the Facistl would be hard put to swing affairs of state and maintain controlin Italy by parliamentary means.
 Opposition Grows.
 More serious than this, the populi st demonstration of antifa scism DOT tends a joining of this powerful par ty with other groups opposing Muso- linis party. The populist drift to the left presages a slowly forming & bloc that sooner or later must force resignation of the facist govern ment.
 Faced by this issue, which devel- oped at the close of the populist con- gress which has been in session at Turin. Mussolini made none of the political gestures at which Lloyd George, for one, was so adroit when opposition threatened.
 The Fascist chieftain ordered all populist members of his cabinet there are four-to meet him at the Quirinal palace Tuesday.
 VIII Meet Cabinet.
 On that occasion he will refer to today's action by the populists, their resolutions against him, and then, according to political observers. will tell the populist ministers to get out of the cabinet or quit their party and come under the Fascist banner.
 This action by Mussolini has cre- ated a sensation in Italian political circles, which consider the cabinet crisis cannot be avoided
 It is said on reliable authority that only one populist minister will re- sign from the party and that the rest will choose to quit the cabinet.
 Politicians are outspoken In their admiration of Mussolinis s bold stroke, for they are certain an open break between populists and Fascist is fraueht with tremendous political possibilities.
 Mussolini. characteristicaly has de- cided to be master of the Italian ship of state to the end. even if he precipi- tates his downfall thereby.

BERLIN MUST PAY | l { I OF ALLIED VENTURE ON RUHR
French and Belgian Premiers Determined to Carry For
 ward Economic War

PARIS, April 14.-The Ruhr ven ture is to go on. Germany is to pay the costs.
 This is the meaning of an official communique issued this afternoon after Premier Theunis of Belgium and Premier Poincare of France con cluded a momentous conference, at which the unity of their nations was further cemented.
 Belgium and France officially an nouncedd intention of pushing the Ruhr occupation to conclusion eco nomically satisfactory to both Neither will withdraw, nor listen tC German "feelers" without consulting the other
 The decision will be reflected in de- veiopments in the occupied territories within AS hours. Fines, seizures, stricter regulations governing con duct of the inhabitants of the Ruhr will be enforced.
 Turn Banks To Britain.
 An important aspect of the situa- tion is that the French and Belgians definitely turn their backs upon Brit ain, agreeing to let resumption of the old entente cordiale among the three nations wait upon decisive ter imitation of the Ruhr invasion. This is not the moment to listen to Brit ish counsels and risk losing that for which We entered Germany, they say, in effect
 The Belslans conferred with Presi- dent Millerand this afternoon, and doubtless heard his views of the possibility of British mediation gathered by the French president from Louis Loucheur following the iEdustrialists visit to London.
 But Poincare, who disapproved Loucheurs visit and was outra ged at the bare suggestion of interven- ton by anyone, apparently still has the upper hand, and if Millerand faV- cred an attempt to reach agreement with the Germans at this time he will not force his view at the present moment.
 Germany Must Pay.
 This was apparent from the off cial communique. which announced the following decisions: t. -s-s,
 CD The governments of France and Belgium confirm their resolution. taken at Brussels. that they will not subordinate evacuation of the Ruhr to simple promises on the part of Germany, but will evacuate only in proportion as Germany executes her reparations obligations.
 2-lt has been decided the govern ment shall issue joint instructions to the high commissioners in the 6ccu- pied areas to establish special bu- reaus of accounts for the Ruhr to handle the cash product of fines. seizures, etc.
 S-The French and Belgihns are going to seize goods in the Ruhr and pay themselves part of what is due in the way of separations.
 4--To be sure that Germany pays the cost of the invasion, what is taken at first is to be considered as . portion of that account.
 The final session of the Franco Belgian conference today decided up- on system of acquisitions whereby ten thousand tons of coal and coke can he secured each week.
 It is hoped by the two allies that wholesale eXpulsions of their leaders wil cause much dissatisfaction among Ruhr railroad workers and increase the number that will work for Che French and BelgFRns.

LONDON, April IA. - Just plain folks trying to get along That's what the people of the middle lass London ncighborhood thought of Ma thilde Mccormick, granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller, and Max Oser, former Zurich livery stable proprie- tor
 Now that Mathilde and Max have been married and stolen off to Scot land. the folks of the Lewisham dis triet have started 10 talk over the back fences.
 "Ilnh." declared Mrs Martin. the landlady of q little brick house where Max Oser lived to establish a resi- dence in London, what do you think of that? Max was such a nice man. The kiddies all around here knew him. Didn't he used to stop early in the morning and have word with them?"
 Sorry to lose Max, but l suppose he had to leave some time. He was so quiet and refined. Yes. an ideal roomer-and always paid in ad- vance,
 Now that she comes to think about it, Mrs. Martin says she believes that Max was keeping steady com pany.
 You see" she explained. "he used to leave here early in the morning and come back late at night"
 And, over the backyard fences goes the information of Ma&'s s whereabouts during his absence from Mrs. Martins s menage.
 Mathilde arrived in London in- cognito and lived a the Hotel Me- tropole over a fortnight.
 The Chicago heiress nearly was discovered before she had been in town over 4S hours An American, recognizing her from newspaper pho tographs, approached her in the lobby. asking if she were not Miss Mccormick.

END OF |SOLAT|O |ON
 |S SEEN BY COX AS U.S. ENTERSC COURT
Former Standard Bearer Says Republicans Now Convert
 ed to League Idea

ST. PAUL, Mnn., April 14.-"Mem- bership of the United States in the international court of justice is the beginning of the end of American isolation,' declared James M. Cox, democratic candidate for President in 1920, in an address tonight at Jef ferson Day banquet here.
 Mr. Cox expressed confidence that the senate would approve member ship in he Sourt and asserted that the work of conversion is over.
 There should be no disposition at this Jeffersonian observance to eXait over the confusion in the ranks of the old guard in the republican party said MT. Cox. The mere cir cnmstance of hundreds of thousands or republicans coming to the demo- cratic view of international ques- tions is sufficient unto our joy at this hour.
 Let us hope that the submergence of the Lodges and others Of this type by an overwhelming public opin- ion will mean the certainty of talk ing this great moral issue out of poli- ties. We were agreed on it until it became political.
 In the presence of pressing world wide necessities, let us lose sight of any political advantage that might be attained. and support any enter- prise, having for it's purpose the re- pair of civilization, regardless of the auspices under which it Is presented The irreconcila bles are now fighting among themselves.
 End or Isolation.
 "Our membership in the interna- tional court of justice is the begin ming of the end of American isola- tt our participation in judicial matters. If an international arrangement is absolutely necessary for the adjust ment of ma rtDnal disputes isn't it fair to assume that administrative asen- cies which will reduce the number of disputes. are also necessary?
 "The Senate will approve of our court There Is no necessity of campaign being conducted in behalf Of this proposition. The work of con- version is over.
 The public opinion of America converted the President and the Sec retary of State. It will be nothing less than an amusing spectacle to see those recently converted, attempt ing an appeal to the public opinion which accomplished the apostacy.
 There is a story of a country man. wbo went to the mourners' bench, and after his conversion, be- gan preachment both to the minis ter and the elders of the church, insisting that they see the light, in his view of things. This Illustrates the suggested procedure of the ad- ministration."
 Mr. Cox addressed the Minnesota legislature this afternoon. The crux of the whole economic system of Europe if not the world, lies in the settlement of the reparations prob lem, he said, adding that in the hands of America rests the master key which eventually must be ap- piled to unlock the doors of set tlement.
