SHELL |SPLACED
ON NPOL|CE COUNTER
Apparently Innocent Action
Leads to Wild Rum0r at
District Building.

High tension which prevails at
nolice headquarters as a result of the
recent regularity Of bandit hold-upS
was touched off, today when a man
believed to be an employe of the
District Building laid a shrapnel shell
on the counter in the detective room,
then hurried back to his post.
"As the shrapnel was laid on the
counter" says w. M. Kolb, who was
ON duty in the detective bureau, "the
man. whom 1 know as an employe
here in the building, said:
Here's something I found some
bows playing with. was afraid they
might hurt themselves. 1t may inter-
est you"
Garbled accounts of the presence of
the shrapnel were circulated, but soon
straightened out by kolb.
"It is my opinion" said Kolb, who
served in the Artillery during the
World War and is familiar with ex-
plosives, that the shrapnei is not
charged 1t didn't worry me any:
Incensed over the sensatlonal .
the incident, Inspector Clifford l.:
Grant took charge of the shrapnei
and said that he would have 1t 'ex-
amined at his leisure. In the mean
time a more complete story Will be
sought of the District Building en-
ploye who brought it in.
Color was lent to the rumors con-
cerning the shrapnel by the fact that
at the time it was brought in Maj.
Hesse and Inspector Grant were ad-
monishing the detectives to lend every
effort to catch the bandits who have
made life miserable for chain store
managers during the past few days.

NEW YORK, November 25.-

The count and his party were en-

of demonstrations by anti-Fascists
on their arrival.
Walls, screams and cries greeted

Walk to Aid Blind
Man Cross Street

President Coolidge, out for his
daily stroll in the business section
late yesterday afternoon, was at
tracted by an elderly. shabbily
dressed white man who appeared
To he greatly confused while try
ing to work his way through the
traffic jam at Tenth and F streets.
1t was during the rush hour. The
streets were thick with auto
mobiles and hurrying shoppers.
The President stopped and looked
at the stranger for a moment and
then discovered that he was blind.
The President quietly directed
one of the secret service men ac-
companying him to go TO the
afflicted mans assistance, and he
stood near the curb until he was
satisfied that the blind man had
been landed safely on the other
side of the street. The latter was
very grateful and profuse in his
thanks to the man who had escort
ed him, but he went about his way
totally ignorant of the fact that it
was the President of the United
States who had personally interest
ed himself in him.

The tribesmen said they came from all

to bid farewell to their king.
When weeping and wailing COM
menced In earnest Kaslov waited a
few moments, then strolled among the
groups urging them to restrain their
grief, which then became more vehe-
ment than before. The kings brother
John sat on a keg and wept profusely.
Two other brothers leaned against a
wall while they lamented.
When the king mounted the gang
plank his followers attempted to rush
the ship. but were driven off by the
crew. Kaslov stood at the ships rail
and said Don't cry, my brothers and
sistersr'
But the cries became all the louder
until the Gypsies began to feel the
effects of the frosty air. Some of them
began singing folk songs and dancing
the Charleston to keep warm. They
remained at the pier until tugs
dragged the ship into darkness.
Before boarding the ship Kaslov
said he was carrying with him jewels
and costly raiment for his queen. He
is going to look for bride in Venice
because he considers the Italian city
romantic.

PERSH|NG HOPEFUL
SOLUTION NEAR
Expects Tacna-Arica Labors
to Continue Despite Possible
Withdrawal of Delegates.
By the Associated Press.


AFRICA, November 25.-Gen. John
J. Pershing, head of the Tacna- africa
plebiscitary commission, said today
that despite grave differences in the
attitudes and opinions of the Chilean
and Peruvian representatives, hope
was still entertained that discussion
would lead to a solution of the con-
troversy and enable a continuance of
the plebiscite commissions labors
Although such official optimism was
considered encouraging, observers as
serted that they could not foresee the
end of the threatened deadlock which
since last Saturday has arrested the
work OF the commission. One of the
highest Of the Chilean plebiscitary
officials said he could see no solution
and he authorized a statement that
unless the Americans granted the de-
mands of Augustin Edwards the
plebiscite commission would be noti
fed of the withdrawal of the Chilean
delegation.
This statement, it is thought, must
be interpreted in the light of the
probable contents of Gen. Pershings
reply to Senor Edwards note, but 1t
seems undoubted that the Chileans'
purpose to stand firm upon their de-

of election laws, the commencement

The withdrawal of the Peruvian
delegation is thought to be impending
owing to a report by Col. Marchand,
commander of the Carabinos, in which
the Peruvian boundary delegation is
accused of instisating the murder of
a Carabino.
II am convinced" the report of Col
Marchand concludes, that the horri-

BERLIN WON OVER
TO NEED FOR 0. K.
OF LCCARN0 PACTS
ReichStag Is Convinced by
Stresemann That Future
Peace Is at Stake.
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN, November 25.-Foreign
Minister Gustav StreSemann's straight
forward words in the Reichstag Tues
day laid down the facts concerning
the Locarno treaties in almost ire
futable fashion and convinced all ex-
cept the most resolute adversaries of
the necessity of accepting these trea-
ties.
In a long speech crammed with
facts, the foreign minister gave a
mastery expose of the situation. Re
plying to his critics, Herr Stresemann
declared that article 19 of the cove
nant will give Germany the moral
responsibility of asking for peaceful
revision of intolerable frontiers and
that this Interpretation is accepted
by Austen Chamberlain, British for
eign minister.
Concerning the treaty of Versailles
Herr Stresemann laughed at optimists
who imagined that the Versailles
treaty, on which all subsequent ar
rangements, including the German
American peace treaty, were based,
could be ignored out of existence by
Germany. The fact of the signing of
the Locarno agreement does not con-
SIlIute d he" herman dCRnO"leQR-
ment of the justice of these treaties,
however.
The fact that the German-Russian
commercial treaty was signed just
before Locarno proves concluSively
that Germany has no intention of
joining any world front" against Rus
sia. Germany, moreover, will not take
part even in a commercial blackade Of
Russia If 1t should be requested by
the league, because such action would
constitute a war danger against which
Germany has the right to provide.
Germany would gladly take part in
a world commercial conference, but
this does not mean an approach to
