PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 10
The impossibility of even the best
obeying all the laws under modern
legislation is discussed by President
Judge Henry A. Fuller of LuZerne
County, in a novel opinion he has
written in the case of a girl arrested
by the State police. fined and ordered
committed to Jail for owning a shep-
herd dog without having a 81 dog
license.
His opinion, which will be included
in the permanent law reports of Penn
sylvania, follows: This is the kind of
case that disgusts one with the maj
esty of the law. A poor young girl,
owner of shepherd dog and ignorant
of the law, had neglected to take out
a dog license, thereby depriving the
Commonwealth of 81, whereupon the
Commonwealth constabulary pounced
upon her and brought the malefactor
before magistrate, who, with pune
tilious sense of duty. imposed fine
OF $40 with costs, SO, and, in default
Of payment, committed her to Jail for
10 days. The constable, however. who
held the commitment, instead of put
ting her in durance vile wisely and hui
namely brought her before the court
The accusation and the condemnat ton
are thus set forth in the commitment,
that the defendant had an united dog
in her possession: not specifying age

L. 5. Officials. However, by No Means
PeSsimistic.
Rv the Assnciated Press

BY inc Associated Press.
While the American and Belgian
debt commissions have reached an
impasse, officials of this Government
have by no means abandoned hope
that the present negotiations can be
carried to a successful conclusion.
The conference which Secretary
Mellon and Senator Smoot are to have
with President Coolidge at Plymouth,
VT, tomorrow is expected to clarity
the situation to some extent at least
and TO make it possible for the nego-
tiations TO be carried forward after
the joint session Tuesday.
Although the next move in the eX-
changes rests with the President,
there are indications that Belgium
viii have to modify its proposals ma
terially if such an agreement as can
reasonably be expected to have the
approval of the American Congress
is TO be had.
Just what those proposals are re-
manned yesterday as close a secret as
ever, but despite this the day brought
forth its usual crop of rumors con-
CerninS the negotiations, the principal
one of which was that Belgium had
demanded as a condition 20 any agree
ment the complete cancellation of the
S171, ,7S0 900 in loans advanced to it by
this country during the actual war
period.
Members of the American commits
sion to whom this report was present
ed declared fatty that no such pro-
posal had been advanced at any time
during the negotiations. Their con-
clusion was that this rumor probably
was predicated upon an old express
sion of the Belgian view that the two
classes of the debt-war and post
war-should he treated separately.

YOUTH OF 20 TO DIE
FOR Staying OF GIRL
Jury Takes Less Than / 1-2 Hours

Hanging Is Decreed.

CHICAGO, August 15.-Raymond
Costello, not yet q years old, tonight
was found guilty of the murder q
month ago of 19-year-old Madeline
White. the jury fixing his punishment
at death on the galloWs
The jury deliberated less than an
hour and a half.
The body of the girl, who had been
attacked, was found one morning
early last month stuffed under the
porch of a South Side residence.
Costello was with the girl the night
previous and a handkerchief stuffed
in her mouth as a gag was identified
as belonging to him. When arrested
he declared man of the name of
Mulholland had killed the girl.
Much of the trial hinged about the
polka dot handkerchief. The State
produced half a dozen witnesses to
identify the piece of cloth as Cos
tello's, while Costello himself, as we'll
as his parents and other defense wit
nesses. denied that he had owned it.
The defense contended that some
one other than Costello killed the girl
after he had left her.

GROCER WOUNDED
BY NEGRO BANDIT
Sam StoIar, Shot Down in
ScuffIe, May Die-Thief
Escapes.

Sam Stolar, grocer, As years old,
1000 S street, was shot IN the neck
in a scuffle with a negro in a hold-up
last night in his store, and early this
morning was lingering between life
and death at Emergency Hospital.
Stolar had been counting his money
at the cash register, when he looked
up suddenly and saw a rrevolver
pointed at him.
Instead of holding up his hands and
giving up his money, the grocer
grabbed for the gun, according to his
story told headquarters detectives,
and while trying to wrest 1t from his
assailant was shot in the neck. The
negro fed, and was seen, eyewitnesses
said, to run down Tenth street and
across into French street.
Stolars wife, Minnie, and his daugh-
ter, Hannah, who were in the room
behind the store crushed out at the
sound of the shot and found the
grocer lying on the floor back of the
counter in a pool of blood.

direction it had taken after entering

At the hospital Stolar declared his
assailant had gotten no money. He
had about SIS on his person and there
was about $40 in the cash register.

PRESIDENT TO FIX
PRINCIPLE Of ALL
DEBT SETTLEMENTS
Mellon and Smoot to Ask
Coolidge to Act at Meet
ing Tomorrow.
BELGIAN PARLEY BLOCK
MAKES STEP NECESSARY
Chief Executive Sees Need For and
Danger of Leniency in
Final Terms.
BY. J. RUSSELL YOUNG,

PLYMOUTH, Vt, August 15.-One
of the most important conferences
President Coolidge has held since
leaving Washington is scheduled for
Monday, when Secretary Mellon and
Senator Reed Smoot OF Utah, mem
bers of the American Debt Commits
sion, will call at the old Coolidge
homestead here to talk debt matters.
Secretary Mellon and Senator
Smoot will, with other things, ask
the President to decide the principle
upon which the American Govern
ment will act with all the various
debtor nations, including France,
Belgium and Italy.
While on this visit to his old home,
the President had hoped to spend a
few days with his father undisturbed
by public questions. But he will be
called upon by the visiting commits
Sioners TO make the decision which
the commissioners are unable to do,
as to better terms and lower interest
rates in refunding the Belgian debt
than was given to Great Britain.
President Coolidge has laid down
the policy that all the debtor nations
Guiding principal and interest. He is
opposed to remitting~any interest, but
has said that leniency must be shown
TO the countries whose financial con-
dition justify such treatment. In
other words, he is willing to make the
terms according to the ability of the
nation affected to pay.
Want Definite PLAN.
Irasmuch as the debt commission
erS have no authority to agree to
more favorable terms than those given
10 Great Britain in refunding its debt
10 this country, Secretary Mellon and
Senator Smoot want to learn whether
the President will agree to lower in
terest rates and longer maturity for
Belgium. If so, they will proceed with
the negotiations and will tell the Bel
cian commission that the administra-
tlon viii recommend to Congress more
favorable conditions.
President Coolidge is represented as
not being inclined to hastily reach
such a conclusion, because he knows
that France and Italy will demand
similar terms, and this will mean a
tremendous loss to American taXpay-
erS. His general attitude is that all
the debtor nations must agree upon
funding terms this Fall and that they
must pay according to their ability
without any cancellation of the
amounts loaned by this Government
during the World War and postwar
periods.
1t is known that there will be some
opposition in Congress to lowering the
interest rate, and therefore the Presi-
dent, it is said, will proceed most care
fully and only after he has been con-
WINGED that the terms agreed to by
the American commissioners repre-
sent the best that the debtor nations
can give.

MACMILLAN FINDS
BASE ON ISLAND
Iowa Radio Amateur Gets
Report of Navy Flyers
Success.

Navy flyers with the Macmillan
Arctic expedition have established an
intermediate base between Etah and
Cape Hubbard at the head of Flagler
Fford, on Ellesmere Island, according
to adyices reaching the National Geo
graphic Society last night.
The message came through Arthur
A. Collins, amateur radio operator at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who succeeded at
noon yesterday not only in receiving
a code message containing news of the
new intermediate base, but also in
establishing direct voice communica-
ton with the expedition.
Flagler Fiord, where the Navy
planes have succeeded in establishing
a base, the National Geographic
Society says, is approximately 100
miles northwest of Etah by airline, a
third of the distance to Cape Hub
bard on the edge of the uncharted
polar ocean. The scenery is magnifi-
cent. The cliffs rise almost straight
from the water or 1000 feet, but
strong winds rushing down from the
glaciers of Ellesmere Island often
make landings difficult
Short Wave Used.
Collins succeeded yesterday at noon
in picking up the voice of John l..
Reinartz, chief operator aboard the
Bowdoin, on a 16-meter wave length,
the first time this feat has been re-
ported from an amateur at this low
wave length and at this distance. The
voices of the Bowdoin personnel sing
ing the anthem America" were also
heard very clearly, the message states.

between Etah and Cape Hubbard.
Returning to Etah, a second attempt
was made to bring on supplies and
gasoline at midnight, but the flyers
were forced to return without landing
because of the drift ice. Only two
planes are now available for this
work.: as the NA-3 has been under
going repairs on the deck of the Peary
since it's near-disaster Thursday.

MAN FATALLY INJURED

Elevator Operator at Carolina
Apartment Dies After Plunge.
Police Probe Case.

Dropping to the bottom of an eleva-
tor shaft in the Carolina apartment,
at 706 Eleventh street, Rajah Burns,
colored, 81, the elevator operator in
the building, was fatally injured last
night. Headquarters Detective Yer
million and Policeman Harrington of
the first precinct, are investigating
the death.
Burns was taken to Emergency,
where he died about four hours after
the accident. The fact that he was
the regular operator of the elevator
and was the only one in charge last
night combined with the circumstance
that the machine was at the top when
he stepped into the shaft believing the
car to be on the ground floor prompted
the police investigation. An iron bar
was also found at the bottom of the
shaft.
