 Chancellor

Berlin, March 7.-The majority parties in the Reichstag have agreed to frame a measure appointing pr. Walter Simons president ad interim of the German republic. Dr. Simons is a former foreign minister and now president of the supreme court at Leipsic.

TRENCH, BRITISH AGREEMENT NEAR Chamberlain and .HerriOt EX.
 press Satisfaction
SECURITY PACT LIKELY
Communique Indicates That Terms Agreeable to Poland and Czecho- Slovakia and Others Of Allies Will Be Reached.

l talk with Premier Herriot this after, noon Austen Chamberlain the Brit, ish secretary for foreign affairs ex. pressed himself as satisfied witt their exchange of views. He thought there was no inherent impossibility of reaching security agreement that would satisfy Poland and Cze. cho- -Slovakia as well as the other allies.
 An official communiquc issued inn mediately after the interview, which followed a luncheon in honor of the British cabinet members, said MT Chamberlain and M. Herriot had proceeded to a first exchange" Of views with a determination to seek an effective solution of the question of security.
 The communique added that this exchange of views would be follow ed by negotiations in accord with all the allies.
 Another meeting of the two min isters will take place when MT. Chamberlain returns from Geneva after the meeting of the League of Nations Council.
 Chamberlain Pleased
 The British foreign secretary was vlsibly pleased with the result of the talk, though he made it clear it was quite limited. What was aimed at, he said, was on his part to give Premier Herriot an idea on what lines the British government was thinking in connection with security and find out what was the tendency in the Frech government.
 It was discovered that there was little difference between the two statements points of views on many problems concerning the tranquili- zation of Europe, while on the spec fife question of the admission of Germany to the League of Nations MT. Chamberlain remarked that he and M. Heriot had independently arrived at the same conclusion.
 The foreign secretary declined to say what that conclusion was, but it is known that the French premier's stand is that Germany onsht to be admitted on the same footing as every other nation, with no excep- tior for Or aPainst
 Both officials carefully avoided any suggestions that might be interpret ed as outlining a security plan. They simply went over the high spots of the situation and sfted from the European imbroglio the specific problems that must be settled be- fore security can be negotiated.
 Thus the way was paved for more definite talk between trains when Mir. Chamberlain passed through Paris on his way from Geneva to London.

Civic Safety League Denies Having Con-
 nection With Showing of Birth of a Nation. 1"
Colored Organization Con- municates With Mayor Paonessa, Thanking Him for His Attitude.

That the showing of 'The Birth or a Nation," which was supposed to have been presented last night in pdd Fellows hall was for purposes Of ku Klux Klan propaganda, is the expressed belief of Chief William C. Hart of the police department. who sent a squad of police to the hall and prevented Edward Barks from going through with the scheduled program. The chief said this morn ing that he has been given to under stand that Barks is an organizer of the Klan. The alleged organizer is the son of Ezra Barks of TIT Win throp street at whose home the klan held a meeting last summer. The chief said that Barks told Sergeant McAvay that he came from Nor walk.
 Jeer Hart and Paonessa
 The arrival of the police at the hall and the stopping Of the picture stirred up bitter feelings among the men and women who had purchased tickets to see the performance and before some of them left the hall. they let it be known in no uncertain terms that they had little admiration for Chief Hart or Mayor A. M. Pao- nessa, both of whom were the ob- Jects of hoots and jeers.
 Chief Hart said this morning that he prevented the picture from being shown because the promoters had received no permit. He added. how ever. that even if they had applied for permit, it would not have been granted. Motion pictures, plays ar anything of a like nature that arc against any race, creed or sect will not be allowed in this city, the chief said, and especially anything in the form ot Ku KluX klan propaganda The results of such performapces have bad effect on the city ana simply stir up prejudice and i'll feel. ing, according to the chief.
 No Hearing Asked. Hart Says
 Attorney Arthur W, Upson, who was called by the promoters Of the meeting to advise them as to the proper proceduce to take, conferred with Chief Hart and he is reported to have told the people gathered fin the hall that Chief Hart refused to give him Q hearing on the matter. The chief said this morning that At torney upsOn at no time had asked for a hearing. Regarding the state ment made by Upson the chief had admitted failing to consult the prosecuting attorney. Chief Hart said: T didn't admit it. told him l had consulted no one as there was no need of it."
 Whether Attorney Upson intends to take the matter up with the states attorneys office could not be learned today. In dispersing the peo- pie who gathered for the meeting Upson said: There appears to be nothing for you good people to do but retire peacefully to your homes and await the action of higher de- partment of justice"
