England And Belgium Said Not To
 Favor New Republic

PARIS Nov. 1N-Negotlatlons or tbe most secret character are pro- ceedfng between London and Paris on the eventuality of geographlcal brealx-up of Germany.
 PorinR over maps, economic re- ports and diplomatic documents statesmen are attempting to visualize the effect on continental politics which will result from an independ- ent Rhineland state. : England. it Is said, is arguing most determinedly against recognition or the Rhineland republic. Lord Crew, British ambassador here, has just handed Premier Poincare lengthy note. in which Britain deals with the Judicial status of the Rhineland. This document, it develops, is only one of a series of communications that have passed between London and Paris recently. threshing out every ramification of the situation created by the projected Rhineland free state.
 To complicate matters, it is hinted that Belgium Frances longtime ally. is opposing the republic along with England. Belgium is understood to fear that French influence will predominate over the proposed Rhine state.
 Diplomatic strokes and counter strokes are being dealt, meanwhile, in continued negotiation over the Hateful business of remaking Euro pean geography.

y HOLLYWOOD. Cal, Nov. 14.-- tBy Associated lress.) )-Salaries of lead ing or feature motion picture play CTS. who are not under contract. which have sky-rocketed in the past two years from a range between S100 and $l.a00 a week to from $1,000 to $3.500 a week, present one of the most difficult problems in the current re- organization of the industry on firm busiress basis, according to heads of production here.
 Executives of the film world to- day are boiling down their cost sheets and the entire business is in the throes of readjustment. they assert, a procedure which is described as the second phase of revolutionary changes in the industry which be- ,.,an under the advisory direction of Y iii H. Hays. The first chapter opened two years ago. That was the normal crusade, the cleanup of the screen for producing more wholesome plays and now comes the economic ,moppinS up in the upward progress of the films.
 Costs of a playing cast for a standard feature production scared from lew thousand dollars to 60,- 000 the figure for a recent picture. The =ntire cost of a feature is said to average S100.00O to S175,000.
 It's goal is fixed at good, clean pro- auctions. the elimination of excessive costs incurred by feverish competi- tion for players and directors, and the ultimate development of the art and ideals of the screen on a more reasonable business basis

UNDERWOOD SAYS KHAN ISSUE IN WEST
UphoIds Right Of Citizens To His Religions Belief With
 out Prejudice
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD VVaahfnntou- D- C.. Nov. II |


 Recognizing that the issue raised by the activity of the Ku Klux Klan must have a direct bearing on the national campaign, Senator Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama, return ing to Washington today, declared himself an adherent of the bill of rights, which guarantees to every man religious freedom.
 In Texas, where the klan issue is the only issue. the Alabama senator declared that the constitution stood against discrimination brought against any individual on account of his religion or his profession. and that he upheld the constitution in that regard. The ku kluX organ owned it is alleged, by Senator May attack against MT, Underwood, and : declared that. because of his speech the Texas delegation would go in structed to the convention for ". c. McAdoo.
 The issue was there" said Sena- tor Underwood, and it was proper that it be met Without reference stitution. The issue must be met by others. not only in Texas, but everywhere. For 1t is an issue throughout the United States"
 Reminded that Senator Mayfield would have to defend his seat, as soon as Congress reconvenes, against charges that he was elected by the l5lan and as result of the expendi- ture of large sum of money, Sena- tor Underwood declared that he would not discuss the Mayfield case politically.
 It doesn't matter. however" said the senator. Hwhether Mayfield's s organ or whether Mayfield, himself takes the stump in Texas against me, I will be moved only by the evil dence. If it be found that the charges are not sustained, l will vote in his behalf. otherwise, l vii vote against him. It would not be to the dteriment of a man if he were elected by the klan or despite the klan. There are other phases of inn portance. It will be necessary for those fighting Mayfield to prove be- yond peradventure that his seat was purchased, if he be properly judged unworthy. The case against Senator Newberry was proved, and the demo- crats. as result, made an almost successful effort to eject him."
 Senator Underwood. during his absence, delivered addresses in Tex as. Kentucky, South Carolina and Massachusetts. He declared that in each state ne was accorded kind and most courteous attention. "Flatter- ing" was the adjective used by the press reports.

How It Was Put Over

MOBILE, Nov. 14-Isidor (Izzy) Einstein, famous as the Sherlock Holmes of the prohibition enforce ment officers, departed from Mobile last night after three weeks incog- nito visit and as result of Izzy's visit stock in the bootleg market dropped as rapidly as German marks.
 T came, saw, 1 mopped up," said Izzy yesterday as he stood in the court yard of the custom house, where load after load of liquor was deposited. And believe me, it was some job. l can safely estimate that the number of shinny joints in pro portion to population here is greater than in any other town I ever struck"
 Tuesday afternoon after the de- nouement, lazy explained his system. Every day l had a new name; a new job, new disguise and new ad dress. My partner, Peter Reager, and l worked on the docks unloading fruit vessels for d few days and got fine line on. the import liquor busi- ness here. Being a good mixer the boys in my gang fell for me and put me next to all the stuff l wanted.
 "One day I sold cigars and was generoksly treated by many of the cigar dealers. l must say this south- ern hospitality is great. I have been treated to all brands. good, bad and indifferent.
 /''Peddling fruit cneap put me next to many private joint, doing large business"
 In the evening after putting in eight hours on the river front lazy and his pal rigged themselves out and mingled with friends they cas- ually met. II have never sen such a variety of bo9ze in all my eXperi- ence," lazy admitted. "I have tried everything from the rarest vintage that are worth three figures pint to the vilest shinny that would kill an elephant.
 "The poison that is sold here as booze is the most criminal thing | have witnessed. This is my first ex- .perience with southern shinny."
 The booze was put on the market fin various guises," lazy claims. In one place, known locally as the Ink We'll" raided by lazy, they found it being sold across the bar at 50 cents a drink and in the show window was ink bottles labeled ink but contain ing booze.
 Pete Reager, 1zzy's pal usually passes as his son during their in cognito adventures. Reager is a for mer jockey and on one occasion when Izzy (bought a drink here the dealer incurred whether the son might have one.

CLETH0RPE LIKED ENGLAND BETTER.
Former Georgian Found Our Country A Clean And
 HeaIthfuI Place

LONDON, Nov. 14.-(By Associated Press. )-Gen. James E. Oglethrope, who planted the banner of freedom, prohit ion and anti-slavery In Geor- gia, found Amercia a pleasant and healthful place in which to live. ac- cording to the records in the old parish church at Cranham, where he was inferred.
 But it is cleas from these same records that the general believed England better place to die in for 1t is recorded on the walls Of the church in which pr. Thornwell Ja- cobs has just dug up the generals bones for removai to Georgia that Oglethorpe sought to spend the lat ter half of his life in England, dying at the age of 102.
 Local historians attribute his longevity to the abstemnious habits he acquired in America andtc his frugal, quiet life in the most sequeS- tered part of England At the age of 62, after his return from America, 1t is recorded that the general took to himself a wife who supported him throughout his life and outliyed him by two years. A modest tablet on the wall of the church in which he was married and buried relates in quaint English how he lived until the first of July, 1775, venerable instance to what a fullness of duration and con tinued usefulness, a life of temper ance and yirtuous labor Is capable or being protracted."
 After narrating how his 'disconso- late widow" died in her seventy ninth year, the tablet recalls that Oglethrope, as chairman of the Brit fsh parliamentary committee in 1732 found a truly suitable employment for his talents by visiting with his colleagues the dark and pestilential dungeons of the London prisons which at that time dishonored the metropo- lis, detecting the most enormous op- pressions, obtaining exemplary pun ishment of those who had been guilty of such an outrage against humanity and justice, and restoring multitudes auslI ol 6IesIm 10 semeI4xe eVl WoIJ and freedom"
 Of these prison inmates who were thus liberated, the tablet says:
 About 700, rendered by long con finement for debts, strangers and helpless in the country of their birth and desirous of seeking an asylum in the wilds of America, where by Oglethorpe conducted thither in 1732 and there encountered, in their be- lief, a variety of fatigue and danger and thus became founder of the col ony of Georgia, colony, which, founded on the ardent wish for lib- erty, set an example for prohibiting tha imnorfation of slaves"

WET JURY ALMOST GETS BY GOVERNMENT
Whisky Case In Chicago Is Delayed By Reflection Of Former Saloonist

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The United States government Wednesday came within an ace of an inch of putting the defendants in the Grommes & Ullrich booze dividend" case on trial before a jury of eleven men who take a drink when they can get it and a saloonkeeper who was recently on trial for alleged violation of the liquor laws.
 It seemed impossible to get dry" man on the jury. The only one who admitted teetotalism was challenged by the defense, which is trying to prove legal the transaction whereby Grommes & Ullrich, whiskey ware house firm, dissolved and "1iquidated" by distributing 12,000 gallons of choice booze to 150 wealthy stock holders.
 Late in the afternoon the defence had announced itself satisfied with the twelve men in the jury box and the government was about to do like wise when somebody whispered to a government prosecutor. It developed that Daniel Deneen. one of the twelve was saloonkeeper, who never 1 touched it himself, but had been on trial for alleged sale of it, and hated the Volstead act like poison.
 Whereat the government exhausted it's last peremptory challenge and then there were eleven.
 The twelfth wet" is expected to be chosen d juror in the morning.

is possible in connection with any program of force."
 Colby declared that nations must approach the European basis impasse as bankers approach a financial prob em-disinterestedly weighing it's risks and rewards, without "a temper of prejudice, partisanship or reckless commitment to this view or that"
 He applied this principle promptly with an illusion to the difticulty of Germany'e situation.
 T deeply sympathize with the Ger man people, and yield to none in ap- preciation of their talent, industry and valor. Vanquished harassed by internal conspiracies, coping at the same time with monarchist reaction and destructive radicalism, faced by privations, embittered by disappoint- ment, their cup is fill d to overflow ing.
 But what nation haa suffered as France has suffered? And if any thing shall be said for the fears of nations as to their future security what nation has sucn justification for fear as oft-invaded and much hacried France?"
 All the confusion which envelops Europe now was foreseen by one man at Versailles, Colby said.
 "The American president wearying of every attempt to compose every racial animosity, to solve every ter ritorial problem, to rectify every dis puted frontier, to redress every his- torical grievance, and sensing the war wearinesG of the world, brought for ward the saving formula of the League Of Nations.
 Above all things, here was the alternative to the old order, the es- cape from it's sufferings, its dangers, it's miseries. The old diplomacy, with its conJurers and medicine men, with it's intrigues and indireotions and over-reachings, would lose itself in candor and forced disclosure-this was the philosopher idea f Wilson.
 This was the pward pathway on which we faltered. This was the vision from which we turned aside.
 The question is, when will America awake? When will she reassert her nobler self? When will she emerge f.om the delusIon and error of ,sola- tGon--isolation from service, isolation from grandeur, isolation from life?
 When, in other ords, will America resume her place as the leader of the world?"

GEORGIA LEGISLATORS KEEP TAX ON OPERA
Metropolitan Company Assessed
 S2,500 For Season In Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 14.-Efforts to reduce or repeal a special tax of S2,5O0 on the Metropolitan Opera com pany of New York. for it's season in Atlanta each year, again were de- feated yesterday in the Georgia house of representatives now in ex- traordinary session.
 At the regular session last sum- mer a similar fight was lost and ap- peals today that the Atlanta Music Festival association, a nonprofit or- ganization, had to pay the tax. availed nothing. The association, 1t was stated, has incurred a deficit each season with the exception of one. when the profits were used to purchase an organ for the city audi torium.
 Representative Holton. author of the amendment to abolish the tax all together. stated he voted for the as- sessment last summer, but now re- gretted his action.

Bainbridge Colby Re-EchoeS Spirit Of Wilson's Pre-
 ArmiStice Speech In Address

DETROIT. Nov. 14.-Though he challenged woodrow Wilson's accusa- tion that France and Italy are "mak- ing waste paper" of the Versailles treaty, Bainbridge Colby, who was Secretary of State under Wilson, told that his chiefs philosopher idea the League of Nations-is still the only solvent for Europe's ills"
 Colbys position n democratic party councils is so high, and his liaison with Wilson is believed to be so in timate. this his speech was widely regarded as added assurance that a powerful movement is afoot to keep the league one of the living issues of the 1924 campaign.
 England, in her island security, re- gards Germany primarily as a lame customer, whose buying power for British commodities she would like to restore" Colby said.
 "France, on the other hand, has a two fold objective-the will to live as well as the desire to be repaid"
 The French have not been obdurate in their attitude on separations. Colby asserted.
 Have we forgotten the succession of conferences, beginning in Spa in 1920, resumed in London in 1921, and culminating at Cannes in 1922, all marked by unanimous allied action and each reducing, In response to German complaints, the total of the reparation liability"
 Colbys disagreement with Wilson's rebuke of the French course in the Ruhr and Mussolinfs Corfu adven- ture was thus indirect, but was nevertheless suavely emphasized in several paragraphs of his speech.
 'Is the time never reached" he said, when delay, evasion and pro- test on the part of a debtor becomes difficult to distinguish from a set tied purpose of repudiation?
 ITO the great credit of France, I think 1t must be conceded that the occupation of the Ruhr has been been attended with as much restraint and avoidance of oppressive measures as

Americans Enter CzeChoslo- vakia Accidentally And Are

WARSAW, Poland, Nov 14.-(ByI Associated Press )-Almost all Amer-| jeans know it is a good thing to bel provided with a passport in Europe, and carry the necessary documents always on their person, but occasion ally some adventurous soul takes a chance on going without, and runs into bushels of trouble as a result. Trouble travelled hand in hand with two American aviators who, without passports, slipped over the boundary! line of Czechoslovakia recently, and was their close companion for six weeks.
 Merton C. Cooper of Jacksonville, Fla, and George NJ. Crawford of Will mington, Del, flew through the war in France under the American flag, and later joined the Kosciusko air squadron in Poland Together with some Polish friends they recently went on a mountain climbing eX- petition among the Carpathian peaks ip southern Poland.
 On one of the excursions Cooper and Crawford and a Polish count all connected together on rope, Alpine IaShlOn, lOSt lnelF oeiaHSS, pVe"h to slide down the snow-clad noun tain side and were unable to stop themselves. Before they realized it the three had crossed the Polish Czechos vakian boundary line, at the rate of about a mile minute, and landed in heap in a snow bank at the mountin's base.
 Rescuers, among them Czechoslo yakian customs officials, soon reached the party. Not even the Polish count had a passport, let alone the two Americans, and it took the party exactly six weeks to es- tablish their identity and secure permission to return to Poland.

 Officers On Job.
 A number of the federal officers dispatched here to aid in the crusade were still in the city last night, and 1t is expected squad of men will re- main here for at least several days. Arthur Smith, in charge of the fed eral intelligence unit of the southern division, who came to Mobile in con nection with the work here. left l.s'tj night for his Memphis headquarters. Mir. Smith did not indicate whether he will return to this city.
 The government authorities gave no definite intimation as to prospective future developments in the far reaching republican enforcement cam paign inaugurated with full swing Tuesday, but the fact that about 60 of the warrants said to have been issued are yet to be served and the presence of a considerable number of operatives in the city caused wide spread speculation and expectancy. Custom House Busy.
 From early morning until we'll into the afternoon, the scene at the cus- tom house was 8 practical replica of that of the preceding day, ex- cept for the absence of the line of motor trucks which had transported the captured goods from the places of seizure. Curious crowds, young and old, men and women, paused on the sidewalk outside the heavy en- closure to peer at the place where contraband products galore had been accumulated during the series of raids. The crowds, while slightly diminished as compared to the first day the activities were in progress, displayed the same curiosity.
 A vague indication that new de- velopments of sensational character may be looked for was seen in a statement of one of the operatives yesterday to the effect that the real story has not been printed yet"
