SOCIALISTS APPROVE
 INDEPENDENT RACE

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 22.-(By Associated Press. )-The state socialist convention went on record today as being unalterably opposed to any move that may be made at the conference for progressive political action at Cleveland on July 4, to endorse any candidate running as an independent.
 The resolution further provided that ''in the event that no real labor party is formed at Clevelnad we favor the placing on the ballot a full national ticket"
 The resolution was adopted shortly before adjournment only after a heated debate over an amendment offered by Congressman Victor l.. Berger which would have substituted a. phrase that would have placed the convention as opposed to endorsing any candidate run ming as an independent lon an old party ticket"
 The convention adopted a platform and endorsed a state ticket, headed by William F. Quick of Milwaukee, for governor.

JURY FOR PROBE
 OF TWO CASES
 CONFINES TODAY
Lehman And Phillips In- Nestig atiosls Among
 Those Before Body

A Investigation of two cases that have aroused widespread interest in Bir- mingham and vicinity will face the lief ferson county grand jury when it con Yeres Monday.
 Ono is a continuation of probe of shortages in the city comptroller's of- flee. The other is a full investigation of the circumstances surrounding the alleged inexcusable shooting, last Fri day afternoon, of two negro women by J. B. Phillips, Birmingham traffic Of- ficer, while on his vacation.
 Further investigation of the public funds shortage was announced recently by Solicitor Jim Davis following an interview with William M. Lehman, who is now serving a term in Kilby prison as a result of his confession to embezzlement of the part of the money.
 Lehman, who is a former clerk in the public improvements department of the city comptroller's office, is said to have given the solicitor full information regarding the shortage, only a part of which is accounted for by his confes- sion.
 Disclosures Intimated
 Lehman has intimated to Davis that he has valuable information, some of it of a startling nature, to bring before the grand jury. In his statement at the prison, he is said to have declared that he could explain the balance of the shortage and to have hinted at fur ther shortages that have not, as yet, become publicly known,
 Determination to have the grand jury investigate the Phillips shooting case was reached by the solicitor Sat urday following a personal investigation in the vicinity of the affair. -
 The two negro women, Bessie Tate and Annie Lee Pitts, are both con fined to Hillman hospital. The Pitts woman, who was shot through the head, is not expected to live.
 Phillips is said to have approached the two women, ~whO were in the rear of 2104 Humbolt avenue, and, fol- lowing a short argument, shot them. Residents of the vicinity, incensed at what they declare is an inexcusable outrage, have announced their inten- ton of pushing the matter until a com plete investigation has been made.
 Although Chief Fred IF. McDuff, of the police department, who accompanied Davis on his investigation, has de- clared his belief that the shooting was justified, the solicitor will bring the matter before the grand jury for a complete probe.

PREMIERS AGREE TO CALL FARLEY
 ON REP PARATIONS
Mac DonaId And HerriOt Reach C Common ronna
 At Chequers

LONDON, June 22.-(By Associated Press )-The British prime minister, Ramsay Macdonald, and NJ. Herriott, the ' French premier, have agreed provided there is no obpjection from the other allies, that an allied con- ference shall be held in London not later than mid-July for the purpose of settling the procedure to be adopted for putting the Dawes report into ex- ecution.
 What is possibly of still greater i'm port is, that the two premiers will visit Geneva together at the opening of the assembly of the League of Ma tions in September. With the same measure of infOrmality and directness as has characterized most of the doings of England's first labor government, the first conference in England between the British and French premiers since the fall of the Briand administration brought M. Poincare into power, with his well known dislike for such per sonal encounters, as has been. held at Chequers court. At the conclusion of this conference, a communication was issued from the foreign office which said: .r-s
 Friendly And InformaI'
 Friendly and informal discussions took place on several questions which arose of the Dawes report. and meas ures to be taken in order to put it into execution. No definite conclusions could, of course, be arrived at pending consultations with the Italian and Belgian governments.
 'sThe conversations revealed a gen. eral agreement between the French and British points of view and on the part of the two prime ministers a common determination to meet the difficulties which beset their countries, and indeed the whole world by continuous coop eration. It was agreed that, subject to the convenience of the other allies, conference should be held in London not later than the middle of July for the purpose of definitely settling the procedure to be adopted .a
 To Visit Geneva " 'sThe two prime ministers agreed to pay a brief visit to Geneva together at the opening of the assembly of the League of Nations in September next"
 The courtly formality of old-time diplomacy was noticeably absent from the meeting. The French party arrived at Chequers court late last evening in the midst of q tropical thunderstorm. They were met at the entrance to the house by the British prime minister wearing golf suit. Dinner was wait ing and without delaying to change clothes the party sat down immediately.
 The meal ended, they adjourned to the library, where the conversations be- gan forthwith and did not end until 80 a. m. They resumed after break fast today and were continued until lunch time at 2 80. So that, clearly, the two statesmen had strenuously threshed out all sides of the difficult 0uestiOnR. cOnfrontinR them.

LACK OF OXYGEN

LONDON, June 22.-(By Associated Press, )-Oxygen starvation produces some extraordinary effects on men as- cending high mountains.

 At another altitude highly respect able don indulged in lhrid language and there was the case on record of 8 man suffering from oxygen starvation who had written down his sensations, and as the Starvation became acute started getting his spelling fuddled.
 It was characteristic of this starva- tion that, though the victim would know what to do, as for instance that by moving 20 yards he would get out of danger, he would not do so unless definitely instructed by someone else. ',

 Promised Deelgates

OMAHA, June 22.-(By Associated Press.) .)@Something of an old-time from tier welcome is promised the hundreds of delegates and visitors when they arrive here June g for the four day convention of the International Association. of Lions clubs.

It will be used to haul International President John S. Noel of Grand Rapids, and other dignitatries to headquarters.. The committee an- nounces that it has arranged for other appropriate features.
 An old-fashioned barbecue, racing meet at Omaha's track, and many les ser events have been arranged.
 While the amusement features are more prominent in public attention, the Lions clubs exist for a high and se- rious purpose, the building of citizen ship. This they accomplish by work ing for all forms of civic betterment with Chambers of Commerce, officials of city, county and state, schools and colleges, and especially with Boy Scouts, Camp Fire girls, and other or ganiza tions of the young.

GERMAN SKIPPING
 FAR FROM NORMAL
Will Take Years For Fleet To
 Attain Pre.War Status

PLYMOUTH, England, June a. (By Associated Press.)-It will be a good many years before the German mercantile fleet attains its pre-war standard, in the opinion of Carl Stim- ming, director-general of the North German Lloyd.
 For some years," Mir. Stim- ming said on his way home from a shipping conference in London, i've must be content with the progress we have made up to the present time"
 Leider Keep, managing director of the Hamburg American line, declared there was not the slightest chance of his line resuming its fast pre-war stan dard of sailings to and from New York for many years. There are no steamers available, he said, and construction costs have risen so high that the build ing of ships with speed must wait awhile.

 NEW YORK, June 22.l-Hail, hail, the gaIig's all here, all around the town.
 Looking important, wearing white pants, walking on the shady side of Fifth avenue or getting down to sus- penders and business in New York's best smoke filled rooms, the delegates to the national democratic convention have rallied to the fight.
 Delegates are battling to get into New York at all stations. They have to battle, as all stations are jammed with New Workers struggling to get out of New York, due to the heat wave The delegates think the mobs have come to meet them, and beam. The mobs think the delegates are all dark horses, and cheer. So everybody is happy.
 Monster Parade

 A novel feature of the parade will be that fact that bands and firemen will turn out to. meet the guests.
 Some 25,O00 city employees of the democratic administration here will turn out to make the democrats feel at home. There will be 54 bands. There will be soldiers. There will be ''hund- reds of floats."t Regiments of police will show methods of sky scouting and catching rive pirates.

delegate-travel! !--see the world !- get liberal education ]"
 { This dazzling spectacle will take place on Fifth avenue, now the Ave nue of States" as far as the delegates are concerned, and the avenue of sum mer sales as far as their wives are concerned.
 In the Stand
 Governor Smith and Mayor Hylan will review the parade at 59th street, where national committeeman and wom- en will sit in the main reviewing stand.
 Competing with this princely gesture of the metropolis, the. Wisconsin dele gation will give luncheon at the Hotel Pennsylvania at the moment the great parade begins. The Arizona delegation will hold reception at the same hotel when they might be cheering on the avenue, and the Pennsylyanians will meet at the same time.
 We'll, big as it is, that parade's just nothing to what the mayors committee is going to do Monday evening. The committee will entertain exactly 3,430 guests, count them, at a gigantic din- ner at the Hotel Commodore. The af- fair is popularly known as ''the mayors dinner" and is described as "the big gest dinner ever held in the United States if not in the world"
 A unique feature is that the guests will be divided into three sections in the grand ball room. Celebrated guests will occupy a high dias, distinguished guests will occupy a, lower platform, and just everyday guests will have tables in the lowest level. Grover whalen is deciding who'll sit where, a difficult job for 8 man who probably will have to meet the mere distingu- ished and plain ordinary guests sec ond time.

The proceedings will be audible to all parts of the United States, and even European listeners-in may get an earful.
 In the center of the convention hall in Madison Square Garden, directly in front of the speakers stand, is huge cluster of horns, which will send the sound of of the speakers voices to the farthest corner of the Garden. They also will be the media by which the ra- dio companies will broadcast.
