at Luncheon.

Reports OF the largest annual con-
vention of Kiwanis International yet
held were given yesterday to the
Washington Kiwanis Club at the week
ly luncheon meeting at the Washing
ton Hotel by President Anton Stephan
and Secretary George H. Winslow,
who attended the convention at St
Paul as delegates.
Roe Fulkerson Of this city made
one Of the hits of the convention, 1t
was reported, in an address built
around a typical Kiwanis character of
his own invention. Favorable men
ton was also made at the convention
of the work of Harry G. Kimball, past
president of the kiwanis Club here,
for having written a history of the
Capital district and each club in the
district. 1t was recommended that
similar histories be written in each of
the 29 districts.
One OF the features of the conven-
ton, 1t was said, was a Winter car
nival in Minneapolis, where, in the
middle of June, when the country was
sweltering, ice hockey, fancy skating
and other Winter sports were held
about an artificially frozen lake.
John II. Moss of Milwaukee was
elected president of Kiwanis Interna-
tional by the convention, attended by

LOCAL OFFICE CLOSED.

The local closing was quiet and
orderly. AS a precautionary meas
ure, two policemen were stationed in
the inner offices.
The failure came as distinct shock
to the Washington financial district.
While only of relatively recent birth,
the firm was supposedly strongly in
trenched, this. belief being accentu-
ated by its membership In the New
York Stock Exchange. Brokerage
houses are not rated, but latest re-
ports emanating from New York be-
fore the crash gave assets of 81 4,OoO,-
600, with liabilities at $5,000,O0O.
Rumor has 1t that the Chicago of
flee of the firm was heavily involved
on the wrong side of the grain

siderable strength by the huge in
debtedness reported this morning.
The following of the local house
was not large.

tated by ]. c. O'Laughlin, NeWe York
representative Of the firm in Wash
ington, relative to the failure Of Dean

1.-THE New York and Washington
Offices of Dean Onativia & Co. were
very much surprised at the situation.
They had been doing a large business
and have gross assets in excess of
$50, 100000. Some of the customers
were long in their accounts Of $4,000
shares of one of the companies con-
nected with the Grain Marketing Co.
of Chicago. This stock was being car
ried by the banks at about $50 a share
1.-The Chicago banks threatened to
call their loans to Dean Onativia &
Co., claiming that the stock in con-
nection with the Grain Marketing
Co. was Of no value. Dean, Onativia
& Co. were accordingly unable to pay.
"The petition was entered this
morning in the United States District
Court of New York. Judge Bondy
appointed ex-Judge William M. Can
non, formerly of San Francisco, as
receiver. Judge Cannon has entered
into possession OF Dean Onativia &;
iCo. He is endeavoring to make a
preliminary survey now.

BRITISH MOVE ROUTINE.
Prodding of Debtors Not Regarded as
Interference.

LONDON, July CP).-Great Brit
aims action in jogging the memories
Of her war debtors is treated by the
press in more or less routine man.
ner. 1t is taken for granted that the
reminder was prompted by the recent
debt-funding conversations in Wash
ington, which the British government
followed closely, but it is contended
that Great Britain has not the least
idea of interfering in any arrange
ment the United States may reach
with her other debtors.
Foreign Secretary Chamberlain's re-
cent circular note to Great Britain s
debtors referred no more specifically
to France than to the other debtors
of this country. 1t is recalled, how
ever, that France took no notice of
the letter addressed to NJ. Clementel
by the British chancellor of the ex.
chequer, Winston Churchill, last Feb
ruary other than to make formal ac-
acknowledgement of it's receipt
Furthermore, SO far as is known,
nothing definite resulted from the
visit of the French experts to London
to discuss the matter with British
treasury officials.

NOTICE AWAITED HERE.
Debt Commission Expects Early
Word From Paris.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Word from Paris that a mission will
be sent to Washington this Simmer
to settle Frances debt to the United
States is received with interest here,
while officials of the American Debt
Commission are awaiting formal an
nouncement by the Paris government
Ambassador Daeschner called on
Secretary Mellon yesterday and con-
t1rmed press reports that the French
cabinet had formally acknowledged
the debt, but his action was informal
inasmuch as he has not been directed
by his government to begin funding
negotiations.
Washington officials have received
no direct word from Paris concerning
the newest steps toward reviving the
debt discussions, but it was assumed
here that formal announcement would
be made about the same time, if not
before, the mission is appointed. Com
position of the delegation is reported
under consideration by the French
cabinet, but it has reached no definite
conclusions regarding it's personnel.
Finance Minister Caillaux would like
to head the mission, but in Paris it is
not considered that he will be able to
detach himself from his duties there.
Robert Mason, head of the Credit
Lyonnais, Is mentioned as possible
leader of the mission.
The new British memorandum to
France concerning the allied debts,
now under consideration in Paris, Is
being discussed in diplomatic circles
here as well. In that connection sug-
gestion has been made that any So
luton of debt settlement should be
based on a minimum annual payment
plan instead of fixed annual remit
tances, the former method enabling
debtor nations to increase debt pay
ments when Warranted by revenues
from their reparations account. This
flexible formula is held up by some
as permitting application of repara-
tions money to the debts, without in
yolving this country in actual collec-
ton of the reparations, which situa-
tion the administration is determined
20 avoid.

ANTHRACITE COAL
HELD DUE TO RISE
Consumers Advised to Buy at
Present Prices, Pending
Wage Negotiations.

Prevailing low prices on anthracite
coal for household use should be taken
advantage CT now. for there is little
possibility that coal will be as low a
month or two from now as 1t is at
present.
Federal officials watching the prog
ress of the negotiations at Scranton,
where union officers are meeting and
discussing the proposed wage rate to
become effective September 1, made
this statement today, basing their as
sertion on the theory that a specula-
tive market in coal will begin in a few
days, If it has not already started, and
that there is little prospect for lower
prices on coal for the remainder of
the Summer.
Miners Discuss Problem.
Miners meeting at Scranton for the
last few days are merely discussing
among themselves the position they
will take when the time for a joint
conference between miners and opera
tors comes. The joint meeting prob
ably will be held at Atlantic City the
latter part of July and early August,
when the entire matter of a wage
scale will be taken up. During the
period Of negotiation the coal market
will be passing through a stage of
speculation. with a constant upward
trend in prices, in the view of Depart
ment Of Labor officials watching the
strike, with little prospect for lower
prices for two months or more.
The view taken here is that the
miners are determined only to retain
the present wage agreement, which
gave them on September l, 1928, 10
per cent increase in wages over the
scale in effect before that time. The
present scale will remain in effect un-
til September /, 1925. 1t was reached
during the life of the United States
Coal Commission after negotiations
had been taken in hand by Gov.
Pinchot of PENNSYLVANIA
