Great Britain to succeed Charles Ev-
ans Hughes as secretary of state, is
spending a few days in New York be-

Mr.. Kellogg said that from his OBJ
servations while abroad he was con-
WINGED that Europe in the last year
had taken e great step forward. Point
ing out the effectiveness Of the Dawes
plans in the sterilization of currency,
he said: There is nothing of greater
Importance TO the American people
than that Europe, and in fact all the
world, should go back to the gold ba-
sis. Fluctuations in cu-rencies make
it impossible to carry on commerce
and as the United States always has
been on gold basis, it is good to have
the whole world on that basis"
Mr.. Kellogg declined to discuss the
proposed Washington arms conference.
He said, however, that he had not
brought back with him any plan for
the limitation Of ornaments. Refer
ing TO reports that he was in poor

that he would rally enough to give a

Scholey and Schmidt Stage
Reconciliation Scene in
Attorneys Office.
PLEDGE FRIENDSHIP
Last Scene Is Written i'm Anus
ing Battle Between Con-
stable and Saloon Man.

!, For the first time in quite a while,
Constable John Scholey and Martin
Schmidt, proprietor of the auto Stop
Inn" met on friendly grounds and in
friendly way. They had talk to-
gether this morning in the Office OF
District Attorney Lewis Powell, anent
the disposition of the case pending
in court against Martin Schmidt,
charged with unlawful possession OF
home brew and moonshine.
Schmidt, it will be remembered, was
arrested by the constable following a
raid on the inn at TIP Milwaukee
avenue, was ordered to put up cash
bonds of $1,000 and spent night in
the city lookup. But this is part
of the past.
Meet by Arrangement.
Both parties met in the district at
torney's office this morning and dis
cussed the situation without warmth
and without hostility on either side.
Schmidt held thkt Mrs. ScssEfdt and
not himself was the holder o. t-he per-
nit, and it was agreed, it is said, at
this informal session, that the case
against Martin Schmidt, would not be
prosecuted, as Mrs. Schmidt intended
to come in and plead guilty.
This is according to the usual police
practice in the case Of liquor raids, as
the holder of permit is held resporl-
sible for illicit liquor found on Ii
censed premises, whether present
or not.
Let Bygones be BygOnes.
But the more interesting aspect was
the fact that the end of the play was
written, and all the actors made their
bow upon the stage, holding hands and
smiling at the audience.
Constable Scholey and M arti n
Schmidt shook hands, and the remark
was passed that they would "let by
cones be bygoneS."
