Breakdown Is Denied.

Downing Street, like the House of
Commons. is without information re.
garding the exact status Of the Geneva
conference.
Although officialdom generally was
gloomy regarding the outcome, it was
strenuously denied that it was correct
to say that a breakdown has occurred.
The feeling expressed was that any
thing might happen before the plenary
session on Monday and that solu-
ton of the Anglo-American differences
could yet be reached.

Discovery in the office Of the Dis.
trict surveyor today Of records indi-
eating that the act Of Congress Of
1893 creating the highway plan had
been complied with. led District Off
Gals to believe the way has been
paved for removing the legal barrier
which threatened to tie up for year
at least the comprehensive street
opening and widening program in
volving the condemnation Of more
than $1,000.000 worth Of property.
A recent decision Of the District
Supreme Court held that the highway
plan was defective because it failed to
show the dimensions and area of
projected streets with the result that
a case providing for the condemnation
of land to open Taylor street was dis
missed. Fears were expressed at the
time that all of the condemnation
cases now pending would be thrown
out Of court on the same ground and
the corporation counsels Office was
directed by the Commissioners to
appeal from the decision with the
faint hope that some loophole would
be found whereby the condemnations
could be legally carried out.
Ladue Makes Discovery.
Realizing the serious and far.reach-
ing effect of the decision. Engineer
Commissioner William B. Ladue made

There is reason to believe that ia.

MARY HCKFORD IS
 HIGHLY INDIGNANT
Aims Wall Street for Wage
 Reductions

Hollywood. Cal, July 15.-(UP) The same Mary Pickford who. in the role of a little girl with long curls has amused millions with her whimsicalities, came forward in | new role today.
 She forgot all about her curls and that sort of thing and spoke a lot of biting words about the money power and Wall street.
 She planes Wall street for the wage reduction made in the movie industry and specified that at the Fairbanks-Pi Pickford studios wages are not being cut.
 Tt was Wall street, controller of tho industry, which gave the order for the cut and precipitated the present crisis" said Miss Pickford.
 Market manipulations, extrava- gant mergers, and costly programs placed some of the leading film companies in precarious positions and because few were sick, Wall street called for general cure.
 Neither Mir. Fairbanks, my hus- band. nor myself agreed to cut wages at our studio. We did not think such measure was necessary. Bad pictures, in which costly actors and expensive sets were used and which later turned into box office Hops in my estimate have caused the real trouble with the screen today"
