| SAYS FRANCE WILL
PAY HER FOREIGN
| DEBTS WITHIN LIMITS

Bar LIE Due, France, Sept 27.-(P)
Premier Poincare, making his first
political speech since taking over the
helm of the French government last
August, today expressed the hope
that the settlement of war debts soon
will come up for discussion in parlla-
ment.
Addressing the general council Of
the department of Mouse, of which he
has been a member for forty years,
the premier said that France has
never repudiated her foreign debts
and that she is determined TO pay
them in accordance with her capa-
city and within the limits of the pos
sibllltv of transferring money
abroad:
IL, the same time the premier gave
notice that he will resist all attempts
to break down the economies pro-
vided for by decree and foreshadow-
ed a fight on that question when the
chamber reconVened.
Poincare was applauded enthus-
iastically when he recalled that
France has never repudlated her
debts and was given grave attention
wher he said that France was ready
to cOnSluer ClOStT lcidliolo "ishA
Germany providing they were in ac-
cord with the peace treaties and
Frances alliances.
The premier opened his talk on the
debt situation by placing the finan-
cial difficulties of France at the door
of Gel many.
France was assailed," he said.
Sire defended herself magnificently
but victory lett her impoverished and
enfeebled. That is why she has had
to intiict upon herself fresh sacri-
fees to renovate her money. The ex-
pend;tures for a war that was i'm
posed upon us by the central empires
and the default of Germany in the
pay ment of repara tons crushed our
treasury. The situation has improv-
ed since August but more sacrifices
are necessary. The government pro-
poses to- stake it's eXistance upon ap-
prevail by parliament of the DEGREES
ledu,4ng the number of state func-
tionarieS."
Tie members OF the council unan-
imously approved this declaration
which referred to recent protests of
certain deputies to the suppression
of courts and certain ubprefectures.

Railway Workers
Given Wage Increase

Boston, Sept. 27-(P1-Employcs of
the Eastern Massachusetts Street
Railway Company We're awarded a
wage increase of l 1-2c an hour by a
board of arbitration which filed its
report today. An eight hour day also
was established by the award, which
was made retroactive to May ! last.
Fred a. Cummings. vice president
and assistant to the president of the
company. who was a member of the
board, filed a minority report dissent
ing from the findings of the major
ity. The other members of the board
were Judge John c. Leggat of the
MiddleSeX probate court, and James
II. Valley of Boston, who represented
the employees. The company ap-
nounced that in consequence of the
increased wage rate which will add
100000 annually to the operating
cost, fares would be increased in ev-
cry operating district on or about

expire on May l, 1927.
On the question of the eight hour

For all work performed over eight
hours per day, men shall be paid at
the rate of time and one half The
eight hour day is in force on three
other systems in this state.

more universal each year and is

FavOrs Trained
Inspectors to Purge
u. S. Mails of Fraud

New York, Sept. 27.-(P)-Pictur-
ing himself as lone who has been
stung," Senator George Fl. Moses, of
New Hampshire, today told the an
nual convention of the National AS
ISOLATION of securities commission
ers that he would urge the senate
to approve the appointment of 20
trained inspectors to combat fraud
through the mails.
Asserting that the mails are being
deluged with fraudulent literature,
he declared these inspectors. if ap-
pointed, would save stock investors
millions of dollars.
The 100 inspectors appointed dur
ing the past year in the post office
department are inadequate to ham
die the situation, he asserted.
Senator Moses expressed his favor
of voluntary cooperation of the
states, rather than any federal ac-
ton. Cooperation of the securities
commissioners of the different states
and the enactment of uniform anti
fraud laws, were advocated by him
as an effective means of curblng
fraudulent promoters.
H. r. Hicks, president of the as
ISOLATION, warned against the in
creasing hazard from the growing
first mortgage or lease hold bond
business in this country. He assert
ed that investors during the past
year lost 10000 900 from failures
resulting from over appraisals. mis-
management and other causes.

Hear First State
Witness in Trial
Evangelist Mcpherson

Los Angeles, Calf, Sept 27-(P)-
Efforts by the state to establish its
contention that Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson occupied a Carmel, Calf,
cottage with Kenneth c. Ormiston
for ten days after she disappeared
from the beach here, occupied the
first day of the evangelist's prelimi-
nary hearing here today of charges
of criminal conspiracy.
Ralph Hershey, of Santa Barbara,
testified he saw woman at Carmel,
May %, whom he was positive was
Mrs. Mcpherson, while Mrs. Jeanette
Parkes, who lives next door to the
Carmel cottage, was equally sure she
had seen Mrs. Mcpherson with a
man who "limped," occupying the ad-
Joining house about that time.
Mrs. Daisy Bostick, realtor opera
tor of Carmel testified she had rent
ed cottage to a man who gave his
name as George Mcintyre and q
woman who posed as Mrs. McIn-
tyre
Ormiston, former radio operator at
Angelus Temple, has since made afff-
davit that he was the George Nc
lntyre," who rented the Carmel cot
tage, but that his companion was not
the evangelist
Mrs. Mcpherson and her mother,
Mrs. Kennedy, who with five others
are charged with felonious conspi-
racy, came half hour earlier to
Judge Samuel Blake's court. Though
rather pale and nervous at first, the
evangelist soon gained her compo-
sure and seemed to enjoy the pro-
ceedings which were enlivened by
many humorous sallies by L. I. Gill
bert, her lawyer, and tits between
opposing counsel.
Mrs. Parkes. who said she lived
next to the Benedict cottage at Car
mel, testified that on the morning Of
May 10. between three and four
o'clock in the morning, she saw a
man and woman enter the cottage.
Through the kitchen window, she
said, she noticed that the woman had
red hair piled high on her head.
Asked whether she saw the woman
in the courtroom. she said she
thought she did. Mrs. Mcpherson
was asked to remove her hat, expos
ing her mass of red hair piled on her
head.
The witness laughed and said:
THAT sure looks like her"
Mrs. Parkes said she saw the man
and woman frequently and that the
man walked with limp.

| NO ONE BLAMED IN
| COLLAPSE OF GIANT
SIKORSKY BIPLANE

Hampstead, n. Y, Sept. 27.-P%-
Captain Rene F'onck. French ace,
and all others involved in the at
tempted flight were eXonerated of all
blame in the fatal crash of the giant
Sikorsky biplane S35 last Tuesday
morning when two men lost their
lives.
At the conclusion of the coroner's
inquest into the death of Jacob Is
lamoff, Russian mechanic, and
Charles Clavier, French radio expert,
who were killed in the crash, Dis
trict Attorney Edwards declared 1t
was "a most unfortunate accident in
which / find no culpability nor culp-
able negligence on the part of Cap
tain Fonck or any person connected
with the venture"
The plane crashed in an attempted
hop-off for a nonstop flight from
New York to Paris.
H. E. Harthney, general manager
of The Argonauts, Inc, the original
promoters of the flight, did not sup
port charges of incompetency against
Captain Fonck which he made in his
affidavit to District Attorney Ed
wards last week. Harthey's testimony
was brief and he closed with the
opinion that 1.-The accident was most
probably a typical sacrifice in the
development of aviation" and that It
was probably unavoidable" He did
say he was of the opinion that Cap
tain Fonck failed to raise the tail of
the plane in time and that the French
pilot did not attempt to stop before
reaching the bluff at the end of
Roosevelt Field. where it crashed.
Captain Fonck. recalled to the
stand, said that after the mishap to
the landing gear the plane was prac-
tically unmanagable and that it was
travelling too fast to stop before
reaching the brink.
Igor Sikorsky. designer and builder
of the plane, expressed entire salts
faction with Captain Fonck. He said
he would not hesitate to fly. or to
have members of his family fly, with
him. Sikorsky said the landing made
by Captain Fenck was as satisfac-
tory as could be made under the cir
cumstances. The take-off of a heav-
lily laden plane is always hazardous.
he said, and every one connected
with the fight was aware of the
danger involved.
