RUSSIANS BALKAT
FRENCH LIMITATION
Soviet Leaders Delay Recog-
milton by Insistence on
Debt Clause Removal.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, October 24.-The recogni-
tion Of the Soviets, which was semi
officially announced for Friday last,
now is understood to have been de-
layed by the Russians themselves.
Moscow. il is said, has intimated
through it's French supporters that
even tacit reservations concerning
debts win not be tolerated in the act
of recognition.
Premier Herriot, who at first de-
clared he would expressly reserve
the French rights TO payment of both
private and government debts, COM
promised with the commission which
drew up the recognition plan on a
sort OF tacit reservation of those
rights
When this decision reached the ears
of the Soviets they communicated ed
with their friends in France and
asked them TO make known that only
absolute unqualified recognition with
out reservations, either expressed or
understood. would be acceptable to
Moscow.
The French cabinet decided in con-
sequence to delay the announcement
of recognition pending further study
of the matter. with the hope of find
ing a formula which the Soviets
would accept. The commission on
Russian affairs now has handed Pre-
mier Herriot, a final text, which the
premier is considering.

WIDENING CONGESTED
AREA HELD UNWISE
Commissioners Say Police Force Is
Inadequate for Extension Of
Parking for One Hour.

Until the number Of policemen is
substantially increased the Commits
sioners do not deem it wise to en-
large the so-ca1led congested area in
which automobile parking is limited
to one hour.
They stated this position in an
swering a request that limited park
ing be applied to Fifteenth and NJ
streets in the vicinity of the Episco-
pal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital.
LAS a practical police problem" tho
Commissioners wrote, 'it is difficult
with the limited number of policemen
available to enforce the parking reg
ulations in the present congested sec
ton. A material increase in the size
of the congested section, for exam
pie, to include NJ street, as contem-
plated in the suggestion contained
in your letter, would only render a
difficult problem more difficult. Until
such time, therefore. as a material
increase shall be provided for the
District traffic force. the Commission
ers are unable to make material addi-
tions to the area covered by limited
vehicie parking regulations"

BY the Associated Press
PARIS. October 24.-Exception is
taken In French political circles to
telegram sent by President Ebert
to the President of Westphalia. in
which Herr Ebert refers to the
French occupation of the Ruhr as
the hardest pressure"
1t Is declared here that such an
unfriendly comment as this remark
departs from the spirit of the Lon
don agreement that when an ami
caole ARRANGEMENT was reached over
the application of the Dawes nIan
1T was understood that such mani
festations would be avoided on both
sides.
The tone Of President Ebert's tel

ward the departing troops. which.
according to reports from officers Of
the contingents which have already
left the Ruhr, has been correct In
every respect.

ONTARIO VOTES DRY
BY $4,000 OR MORE
Canadian Prohibition Leader
Now Predicts Move for
National Law.
BY the Associated Press.


TORONTO. Ontario, October IA
campaign for Dominion-wide prohibi-
tion in Canada will be started inn
mediately as a result of the Ontario
plebiscite which so far has given the
"drys'' majority of more than 10000
votes, il was announced today by the
Rev. Ben Spence, leader of the Domin-
ion Prohibition Union. The tide OF
battle has turned said the prohibi-
ton leader We will not only re-
gain the western provinces to the dry
column, but we will press forward
unitedly for national prohibition. A
Canada free from the blight of booze
is our ideal"
Officials of the Moderation League,
which led the fight for repeal of the
temperance act, said, however. that
the results OF the election showed 4
favorable trend toward government
control OF liquor distribution. They
pointed out that in 1919. the drys
had majority of 40I 600 in the vot-
Ing to confirm the temperance act,
whereas the majority in the present
election probably would be approx
Imately, 35, 900.
The majority is too slight" said
l. r. Heilmuth, president OF the
league. There has been big turnover,
and in view of the fact that the
cities have turned down the Ontario
temperance act, il will be impossible
to enforce it, There has been a
change in public opinion"
Women Vote for Law.
The women's votes. especially in
the rural districts, constituted the
principal deciding factor in the bal
loting in favor of the temperance
act. Their votes reversed the lead
of the vets in virtually all of the
larger towns and cities.
When early returns had been re-
seived last night the vets were ahead
by wide margin. AT one time their
lead reached a majority of 10000. AS
struggling returns from the rural
districts came in, however, the wet
majority was gradually cut down and
oy midnight the tide had turned in
favor of the drys.

Delve Into ID. c. Records.
1t was not until after the statement
and the establishment of his system
for registering" each reporter, that
the records were thrown open this
afternoon.
Immediately after this was inaugu-
rated, however, the big group Of
newspaper men swarmed into the place
and began digging into the huge mass
of material for figures and names.
Thousands upon thousands of rec
ords are on file in Mr.. Tait's office, in
cluding not only those of the District
of Columbia, but also those of the en-
tire district covered by Mr. Tait's Of
fee.
The District of Columbia records
are not kept in separate files from the
other records in the office, so a great
amount of search will be necessary
until the figures pertaining to the
District of Columbia can be obtained.
Press Policy Divided.
Not only newspapers were divided
in their policies as to printing the
disputed material, but the great news
associations, with networks of wires
covering the country and with facili-
ties for gathering quickly a list of
the biggest millonaires in the coun-
try, had not adopted uniform policy
up to noon today. Some were car
rying lists of what the income tax
figures would indicate were the
wealthiest men in the nation. Others
carried no names or figures.
New York's newspapers were di-
vided. Some of them carried long
lists of the tax returns of New York
One of these said it was doing so
on advice of counsel and in spite
Of the warning of the Treasury.
Others carried no names.
There were those who predicted
that much depended on a phrase in
the law which says it shall be un-
lawful to publish 'in any manner
whatever not provided by law"
May Make Test Case.
Court decision may be necessary to
finally determine the question, 1t was
predicted in other circles. Should the
Government decide such publication
is unlawful. it was predicted else
where that the Department OF Justice
against the agency which had pub
lished the largest number of names
and figures.
Whether the "offense" should in
clude one issue of newspaper, or
whether it might be taken to mean
the publication of each name with
it's figure was also a question for
determinati ton, according to some au-
thorities. This would make an i'm
mense difference in the size of the
penalty asked.
