TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April
2S. Florida flappers threw the
house of representatives into an
uproar today. It came about
when Representative Branch Of
Liberty county introduced q
resolution to prohibit all news
papers in the State from re-
ferring ito any lady as a

Branch said it was the
Partisan influence in feminine
styles which led to the use Of
the word flapper.
Speaker Milam ordered the
resolution printed on the calen-
dar, but a motion was made TO
refer it to the committee on
Indian affairs. Representative
Eaton, Of the committee, OBJ
iected on the ground that EN-

tive Morgan Of Collier county
moved to lay the resolution en-
the table.
Amid great excitement, the
Morgan motion was defeated
and the resolution went to The

reparations commission, now win

which will cut down receipts and
thereby cripple the machinery Ut

The foreign office stated frankly
that even before the election the
French government was convinced
that the real sentiment of the Ger
man people was just what they ex-
pressed at the polls. but admitted
its surprise that the Germans dared
come out with it.
Indications were that one of the
first acts of Hindenburg would be
to try to effect a closer relation
with France, the foreign office said,
but. Poland would be excluded from
these friendly dealings. which
would compel France TO have re-
course to the Versailles terms<

the entrance. On returning he dis
covered that someone had moved
his car. He went Immediately to
police headquarters and reported
the theft. Leaving police headquar-
ters he walked up Twelfth street,
his loss weighing heavily upon him.
CHANGING up suddenly he saw his
machine travelling down the street
driven by young boy.

board of the car, told the boy he
was under arrest and ordered him
to drive to No. precinct.
The boy, who gave his name as
Francis H. Harding and his age
as nineteen, will be arra1gned in

Expert With Gun.
Mrs. Cause, who is a relative of
Edwin B. Hess, chief clerk OF the
Police Department, is an expert
with a gun, and has prided herself
on her skill as a trapshooter. Yes
terday she was alone in the camp
which is In the woods between the
canal and Conduit Road. Her hus-
band. Charles e. Cause, an en-
plOye in the office of the Adjutant
General, was at work and their
two children were at Central high
school. where they are students.
About 1870 she saw the youth
who later made the attack, walk
ing along the tow path, across the
canal. A half hour later he came
back. having crossed the canal, and
knocking on her kitchen door, ask.
ed for drink of water. A few min
utes later he disappeared and she
forgot about him.
The Cause camp Is divided into
two small "shacks," one used as a
kitchen and dining COON and the
other equipped as bed rooms. A
little while after the man had ap-
parently left, Mrs. Cause walked
into her living quarters and found
the man inside the door. AS she
entered he covered her with gun
and demanded money

She refused, and he threatened
her with death and worse She tried
to persuade him to leave, but he
wouldn't. Then she told him 20

He then attacked her, kicking
and beating her on her arms, head
and neck. She fought braveIy, but
he was too strong for her.
Finally as she realized she couldn't

counter she used her wits. AS she
was about to be beaten insensible
she told him she heard someo'~e
coming. He jumped up and ran to
the door to see. She quickly fol-
lowed and locked the door on him.
Then there was a race for the
back door which was unlocked.
She grabbed a gun which she had
util that time been unable to reach
and rushed to the door, meeting
him there. She had the drop on
him this time and made him hold
up his hands.
Then she ordered him away and
followed him up the steep slope
to the car tracks where he broke
into a run. She pulled the trigger
several times, but only once did
the gun shoot and the bullet went
wild.

1he return Of Great Britain to
a gold standard was hailed at the
Treasury Department today as the
most significant reconstruction step
taken since the Dawes plan was
adopted.
Secretary of the Treasury MclIor
and D. r.. Crissinger, chairman Of
the Federal Reserve Board, declared
the physiological effect on world
business and finances would be
vastly more important than the
actual movement of gold resulting
from the order.
Both Great Britain and the
United States are now on financial
par.
These two world powers will be
able to WELD an incalculable in
auence on world monetary affairs,
according to the Treasury.
Officials said that Britain's ac-
ton is an essential move toward
the establishment of world econom-
ic poise and equilibrium.
The New York Federal Reserve
Bank has entered into the open
market for the purchase of sterling
at the request Of the Bank of Eng
land and in so doing will be an
important asset in the sterilization
of exchange, according to Mellon.
1t was also pointed out that the
assistance of the semi official re-
serve banks in getting Britain
back to the gold basis of currency
will have the tendency to further
cement the relationship between
the United States and England,
both economically and politically.
The foreign commerce of the
United States is expected to i'm
prove as a result of Britain's ac-
ton.

'All of the English on Long Island
