MARYLAND SURE OF VERDICT.
States Attorney O'COnnOr Declares
He Has Clear Murder Case.

BALTIMORE, April 2S R).-Im-
mediate waiver of all charges against
Richard Reese Whittemore, Candy
Kid" gunman of New York and Bal
timore, will be asked of New York
authorities to permit his removal here
for trial on charges of killing a prison
guard, States Attorney Herbert r..
O'Connor announced last night. A

N. Y, for murder in connection with
a. $93, 900 robbery, failed last night to
reach an agreement.
Mr.. O'Connor said that Maryland
has an "open and shut" case, and is
certain of returning verdict of
guilty of first degree murder against
the bandit who has admitted killing
Robert w. Hoffman, a guard at the
MARYLAND Penitentiary, with a piece
of lead pipe while escaping from the
institution on February 20, 1925.
Whittemore was serving a 15-year
sentence for a. hold.up when he made
his spectacular break.
Formal application for the waiver
will be made to District Attorneys
CIV C. Moore of Erie County and
.Joab H. Benton of New York County,
Mr.. O'Connor said. Gov. Ritchie also
announced that he would cooperate
fully with the States attorney and
would himself petition Gov. Smith of
New York that the fugitive be re-
turned to Baltimore at once.

HUTCH|NS ESTATE
SELLS BIG CORNER
14th and G Streets Site, One
of Best in City, Bought
by Rust Co.

The largest real estate transaction
in downtown Washington since the
sale of the site of the new National
Press Club. more than year ago, has
been consummated by the sale of the
noted Hutchins estate at the south
west corner of Fourteenth and G.
streets this week. This property,
which stretches from the Wyatt Build
ing, at the northwest corner of Four
teenth and F streets. to the District
National Bank Building, on the south
side of G street, was purchased by the
II. L. Rust Co., for a sum said to be
81, 500, 900.
This site is considered one OF the
three outstanding downtown business
locations that has remained unsold
for considerable length of time. 1t
was held by trustees for the estate of
Stilson Hutchins, former owner and
publisher of the Washington Post, who
left an estate valued at from SO ,0OO,-
600 to $4,000,0 900, most of which was
Washington real estate. The Hutch.
ins estate became well known to local
people by reason of a contest over the
will which lasted for IL years and,
finally. in 1924, resulted in the ap-
pointment of three trustees to repre-.
sent the four interested beneficiaries.
These trustees were given instruc-
tons to sell as soon as possible and to
divide the proceeds in four equal
parts. The sale OF the Hutchins prop
erty at Fourteenth and G. streets Is
the result of this decree.
Among real estate authorities 1t
is generally conceded that the II. L..
Rust Co. is purchasing for a client
Two rumors are current among those
who have an intimate knowledge
OF real estate transactions here. One
is that the District National Bank
desires a corner location and the
purchase of this property will place
1t directly opposite the new Federal
American National Bank, and the
other is that a prominent F. street
merchant desires to erect a large
store at this corner.
The Hutchins estate, which has
been sold for what Is said to be
$l.500,O00, has no extensive improve
ments in the way of modern build
ings. Therefore the property as
sold was considered a valuable one.
The United Cigar store and several
smaller shops are now located on the
site. The trustees have offered this
property for sale privately to a mum
ber of prominent local and national
real estate and financial men for the
last year and a half. The trustees
are Charles H. Merillat, represent :
ing 25 per cent of the interests: Myer
Cohen, representing SO per cent. and
Thomas Morton Cuttings, represent :
ing 25 per cent of the interests that
are beneficiaries under the Stilson
Hutchins will.

CZECH DEBT PACT

The Senate cleared it's calendar of
war debt settlements today by approx

The vote was SO to IT. This COM

when signed by President Coolidge.
The vote came after only Is min
utes' discussion, Chairman Smoot of
the finance committee explaining the
settlement and Senator Howell, Re

the ground that it represented a can

With the approval of this agree

It's assent to settlements totaling S3,-

the Italian and Belgian agreements.

Having disposed of the more Wig
orously controverted Italian and Bel

countered little difficulty when it took
UP the others yesterday.
The Latvlan, Esthonian and Ru-

NEW FIGHT LOOMS
|NLEAGUE'SPATH
Persia to Demand Council
Seat If Germany Gets in
With Another.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN


BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, April 2S-Five months
remain before the next plenary meet
ing of the League of Nations to dis
cuss Germany's admittance to the
league council and serious difficulties
already are looming.
Persia has addressed a note to the
secretary general of the league which
concludes by stating in striking terms
that in case any other country be-
sides Germany obtains a permanent
seat in the league council, Persia as
the only representative of four hun
dred million Mussulmans in all parts
of the globe. must insist upon a
council seat as well.
The Persian delegate at Geneva
has further pointed out that in the
opinion of the smaller nations their
desire to obtain council seats is due
to the fact that the powers are un-
equally divided between the assembly
and the council.
"The council" he writes, frequent
ly neglects the assembly, keeping it
in ignorance of its discussions. Dur
ing the recent meeting whole days
passed without our knowing what
was going on in the council, and we
were unable to keep our governments
posted"
The note ends with a yelled threat
that If other nations outside of Ger
many are given council seats, Persia
will insist upon the same privilege.
and If refused, will withdraw from
the league.
London diplomatic circles believe
that while Persia's move has caused
a sensation in France and other Latin
states it is favorably regarded by the
British. Others see in this drastically
couched note the first fruits Of the
Russo German treaty, while diplomats
belonging to what is now frequently
termed the Latin bloc" see in it the
result of combined British and Rus
sian diplomacy.

REICHSTAG TACKLES
CONFISCATION BILL
Whole Country Watches Debate on
Measure Regarding Seizure of
Royal Property.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, April 2S.-A debate. car
rying with it the interest of the entire
country. begins in the Reichstag to-
day, when the bill initiated by 12,500,-
600 voters providing for confiscation
of the former German rulers property
is discussed in its first and second
readings.
Neither the bill nor the democratic
eleventh amendment making it op-
tional for the states to hand the for
mer rulers lump sums as pensions
has a chance of securing the required
two-thirds majority, so it is probable
the matter will go to a plebiscite.
Parliamentary circles strongly criti-
cize the cabinet for declaring that the
ex-rulers' property settlement is a
question tantamount to a constitution
al amendment. neceSsitating a two
thirds vote in the Reichstag or an af-
firmative majority vote of all the quail
flied voters in the event of a plebiscite.
Either seems impossible to obtain.
AS the constitution provides for no
judicial body to which a cabinet ruling
can be appealed. there is a possibility
of a deadlock between the cabinet and
the Reichstag, the only solution of
which would be the resignation of the
cabinet or dissolution of the Reichstag

would be given power TO take over ana
operate, directly or by lease, such coal
mines as may be necessary to provide
for the production and distribution of
coal at reasonable prices and of a
quality adequate to supply the needs
of the people. In the event that the
coal mines are taken over, there is
provision for the payment of just COM
pensation to the owners of the prop
erty and also for fixing reasonable pay
for the performance of all services in
the acquisition and operation of the
coal mines.
Senator Copeland is TO prepare nu-
merous amendments to the coal bill to
meet the views of the Senate commit
tee as expressed at today's meeting.
AS soon as the draft has been COM
pleted and printed another meeting of
the committee will be held. Final ac-
ton by the committee will not be
taken until 1t has the completed draft
