BERLIN, April 1s.-Foreign Min
lister Stresemann told the Reichstag's
budget commission today that the
German embassy at Washington had
informed the foreign Office that, pend
ing negotiations at New York and
elsewhere. American credits have been
interrupted because American finan-
ciers preferred to await the outcome
of the German presidential election
before closing deals.
This official statement came in reply
to an inquiry addressed to Minister
of Economics Neuhaus, who yesterday
told Reichstag members that the work
Of facilitating foreign credits to Ger
many had been becoming more diff
cult recently. Democratic members
demanded information whether this
was the result of Won Hindenburg's
nomination. Stresemann said he be-
lieved it represented customary pre-
cautions. and a precaution which also
was observed during the American
presidential campaign.
The foreign Office has cabled Am
bassador Won Nathan at Washington
for a precise statement, but his reply

CITIZENS RENEW
FIGHT FOR zON|NG
Argue in Petition Apartments
Would Mar Beauty of
Massachusetts Ave.

experimenting their petition for the
rezoning of Massachusetts, avenue
from Fifteenth street northwest to
the District Line so as to prevent
the erection of apartment houses on
property abutting thereon. property
owners residing on the thoroughfare
and in its vicinity, tomorrow will file
a petition, signed by Clayton E. Emig
and 40 property owners. It sets forth
reasons, and cites court decisions. in
support Of their stand that there is
authority for preventing apartment
house construction for aesthetic rea-
sons.
Cites Bill Board Rulings.
Pointing out that the chairman of
the commission had given the writer
(Mr. Emig) the impression that 1t
could not consider this phase. the
petition cites a number of bill board
cases wherein it was held that they
could be restricted. In these it was
held, it was commended, that to legis.
late on them was not a regulation
OF private property, but a regulation
of the use of the streets and public
thoroughfares.
The petitioners, in their brief, con-
cede that no appellate court has ruled
on such a point as is involved in this
proposed regulation Of property from
beauty and esthetic standpoint. but
rely largely on statements in briefs
and contentious in articles in law
journals. The Maryland Court of APP
peals. they admit, has ruled that the
coming ordinance of Baltimore. with
respect to the use area, can neither be
based upon the police power or justi-
fed by the law Of eminent domain.
The petition refers to the fact that
the same court has upheld an ordi-
nance forbidding the erection of
buildings Of a certain heighth in the
vicinity Of public buildings as a valid
exercise of the police power. because
its purpose was TO protect the hand
some buildings and their contents
from the ravages OF fire. The brief
concludes:
To Protect City's Beauty.
1T is respectfully submitted that
the coming law of March /, 1920,
enacted by Congress for the regulation
of commercial and industrial interests
and the residential sections, took into
consideration the question of the
esthetic and beautiful in Washing
ton, and empowered the Zoning Com.
mission, by the term to protect prop
erty in the District of Columbia To
regulate matters of buildings so that
apartment houses may be barred
under 'B restricted area from injur.
ing and depreciating the value of
property on Massachusetts avenue. -

FRAT SUIT TO REST
ON PENALTY FIXED
Right of Board to Bar Stu
dents From School Activi-
ties Questioned.

Legal action against the Board of
Education's ban on secret societies
will be based on the authority of the
board to exclude students from school
activities because of their affiliation
with unapproved organizations, 1t was
indicated last night by John E. Laskey,
former United States district attorney,
who has been retained as counsel for
Sigma Delta and other high school
fraternities which have united in a
fight against the anti-fraternity ruling.
Mr.. Laskey said he would be pre-
pared to take the case into the DIS
trict Supreme Court some time this
week. He is now waiting for Sigma
Delta to select one of it's members
with an outstanding and unassailable
scholastic record in whose name the
suit will be filed.
Settlement Not Favored.
Efforts of Lambda Sigma Fraternity
to effect a settlement of the fraternity
controversy out of court were not
looked upon with favor by Mr.. Las
key. He does not believe that the
compromise plan proposed by Lambda
Sigma offers a complete solution of
the Paternity problem. The whole
question to be determined" he said,
lis whether these students who belong
10 fraternities are rightfully or wrong
fully barred from student activities.
Although Lambda Sigma leaders had
planned to confer with Mr.. Laskey
over this compromise plan, he said
that thus far none of them had
preached the subject to him. Indica-
tons now are that Sigma Delta will
proceed with it's threatened legal &C.
ton, while lambda Sigma attempts
to effect a compromise out of court.
Agrees to Compromise.
The board has agreed to consider
the compromise plan with Lambda
Sigma, ''unofficially and informally"
but has admonished all fraternities
that it will not take the matter Sc
riously unless the contemplated legal
action is abandoned. On the other
hand, the board has pointed out that
it does not fear the threatened court
suit, and has requested the District
Commissioners to instruct the corpor-
alton counsel to defend 1t If such &C
ton is taken.
The finance committee of Sigma
Delta, headed by j. Milton PRODIGY,
has raised approximately $500 to
finance the suit. 1t expects to swell
this fund through a dance at the
City Club April 20, for which tickets
will be sold for 81.
