OPIUM CONFERENCE
BREAK PREVENTED,
COMPROMISE WINS
Joint Committee of Two Par
leyS to Inquire Into
Drug Use.
AMERICAN AND BRITISH
DISAGREEMENT BRIDGED
Porter and Cecil o. K. Proposal Of
fered by Finnish
Delegate.
By the Associated Press.


GENEVA, January 24-The inter
national opium conference was saved
from collapse today when a resolu
tion, introduced by Finland, providing
for joint committee from the first
and second conference to inquire
into opium smoking in the Far East
was approved by Stephen G. Porter,
head of the American delegation, and
unanimously adopted.
The Finnish resolution proposes
that the first and second conferences
each name eight delegates to report
on opium smoking to both conferences
with the least possible delay 1t
provides that representatives of the
second conference on the committee
shall be those who participated in
the first conference.
The delegate from Finland said
that every effort has been made TO
prevent the collapse of the confer
ence and that he believed his plan
was reasonable way out of the
crisis.
Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, the
British representative, then moved a
short recess to examine the text of
the motion.
1T is difficult for the sovereign gov
ernments TO retire from the positions
they have adopted" said Lord Cecil,
"and we can all accept this solution,
without claiming victory. The sue
cess of the League of Nations is in
agreement without victory"
A recess was then taken after Lord
Cecirs motion had been seconded by
Mr.. Porter. When the conference was
again called to order the Finnish res
olution was adopted unanimously.

PARENTS BURNED,
BOY SAVES FOUR
Sees Father and Mother Kill
ed in Blaze at Wheaton,
Md.

BY stan Correspondent
WHEATON, Md, January "a
Quick thinking and cool action by IL
year old Charlie Russell today proba-
bly, saved his two brothers and two
sisters from the death by fire, in
which their father and mother were
killed, when their home here burned
to the ground early this morning
after an oil stove explosion.
Charlie, himself, was burned about
the head when he attempted to rescue
his father, who was lying on the
kitchen floor, almost entirely sur
rounded by the flames which spurted
up after Mrs. John Russell had at
tempted to light the oil stove.
The explosion, which occurred while
the mother was preparing to get
breakfast. awoke 13year-old Willie
Russell. Willie. in turn. woke Charlie,
who ran downstairs to find both his
mother and father fighting flames
which had spread to their clothes
from the explosion. Charlie rushed
to the spot where his father had
fallen and attempted 10 extin nguish
the fire there, but the flames caught
his hair, driving him back and slight
ly burning his scalp. By the time he
was ready to attempt the rescue
separated him from his parents. He
then ran upstairs, assembled his
panic-stricken brothers and sister
and rushed them out, scantily clad, to
safety. The five children watched
the house burn to it's very foundation.
Home Razed to Ground.
The blaze was so quickly under way
and the house was so far gone that
when the Kensington and Silver Spring
Fire departments arrived little good
could be accomplished.
All that remains of the bungalow
today is the hollow-tile foundation
and a stark chimney.
Everything in the house was re-
duced to non-recognizable wreckage
beds. warped into twisted hunks of
steel. and kitchen utensils melted into
masses of various forms, are the
only things that can be recognized in
the charred ruins.
The bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Russell,
badly charred, were taken to Pun
phrey's undertaking establishment in
Rockville. Both were burned beyond
recognition.
The five children are with Harvey
Burgess, their uncle, the brother of Mrs.
Russell, at Rockville.
The children include Eugene, aged
IL; Willie, aged B; Lillian, aged 16;
Dorothy and Charlie.
Mrs. Russell is survived also by five
sisters and six brothers, including
Harvey Burriss of Rockville, William
Burriss of 1715 Twenty-second street,

SAT Eleventh street southeast, Wash
ington, and others living nearby.

IBANEZ THANKS HERRIOT;I
AGAIN ATTACKS ALFONSO
Author, in Letter to Premier, Says
King Acted Only Because of
Fear of French Opinion.

CO Ibanez, the Spanish author, in a
letter to Premier Herriot thanking
him for his eulogy in the Chamber Of
Deputies, when he announced the
withdrawal at Spain's request of the
charges brought in France against
the author for his attacks on King
Alfonso, again attacks the Spanish
monarch, saying: The King of
Spain did not withdraw the prosecu-
tion through liberalism, but solely
because he was afraid of French
opinion.
1T is irony to speak of the liberalism
of Alfonso XIII since upon his or
der all the property l have in Spain
has just been confiscated, two pro-
ceedings have been instituted before
a court-martial; my name is being ef-

works in one of the main avenues of

Coming of Weird
Eclipse Twilight

Just six seconds behind its man
made schedule, the moon swept be-
tween the sun and the earth today
while Washington and virtually the
entire Eastern section of the country
gazed in wonder at the first total
eclipse this part of the world has
seen in 11s years.
Science had figured that the ex-
treme Eastern tip OF the moon would
make its first contact with the eX-
treme Western tip of the sun, as
viewed from Washington, at 1855
o'clock this morning. 1t was exactly
7:55:06 that the contact was recorded
At the Naval Observatory here.
s5 Per Cent Total Here.
True to prediction. the eclipse was
only 95 per cent total here, Wash
ington falling a scant 200 miles out
side the narrow band of totality. AS
a result no one here could see the
corona, but the eclipse presented the
most unusual solar revelation seen in
these parts in the memory of man.
Notables MT Observatory.
Piloted by Prof. Asaph Hall. di-
rector of the Naval Observatory,
distinguished party of scientists and
laymen, including Secretary of State
Hughes and Bascom Slemp, secre-
tary to President Coolidge, scared
hundreds of miles out into the
atmosphere at the observatory and
viewed the phenomenon through the
magnifying portfolios Of that station.
Keep Exact Schedule.
With all of his passengers on board
shortly before o'clock, Prof. Hall
set sail on schedule time to meet the
moon exactly at the minute 1t should
have begun its conquest of this
planets source of light At that hour
the sun was still huge, red ball
so slightly above the horizon that it
could not be reached with the 12-inch
telescope.
Five six-inch telescopes had been
placed in commission, however, on the
roof of the observatory and, in COM
mand of DR.. George A. Hill. astron-
omer, attached to the observatory.
were trained on the scene of the fam
lily reunion that was about to take
place in the sky. 1t was through one
of these that Prof. Hall and DIR. Hill
took the accurate time of the first
meeting.
Laymen Disappointed.
Like the recent visit of Mars to this
planet, and the call Halley's comet
paid some years ago, the eclipse was
at first disappointing mt to its unof-
fetal observers. They all expected
too much, but there was a tremendous
appeal to 1t that kept every one of
the assembly at the observatory, from
Secretary Hughes down to a young
ster from Central High School, hop
ping around on the roof or in the
dome of the larger telescope trying to
keep warm for more than an hour.
Weather Bitter Cold.
1t was bitter cold. Colder in rhe
dome than the root, and out there it
felt like below zero. At first Prof
Hall and DR.. Hill had difficulty per
suading their guests to believe that
the big, light orange color that oc-
cupied the faces of the Instruments
was the sun, about to be bIotted out
by tis least favored offspring, the
moon. Then the eclipse began, almost
