GULLANE, Scotland, May 6-With
most of the big international field ac-
counted for, three of the first four
places were occupied by Americans in
the first qualifying round of the Brit
ish open golf championship.
An unheralded British pro, Fred
Jewell, set the pace with 70. Bobby
Cruickshank and George Won Elm, each
with 73, and Les Diegel with IA were
next.
All day long, through a driving wind
and soaking dOWnpour of rain, entrants
in the open went through one Of the
worst qualifying ordeals in the history
Of the event.
Early indications were that only one
American, Ed Dudley, who scored IS for
his first Is holes, was in danger of fail
ing to qualify
Dudley will need a round of IS to-
morrow to score the 100 for SO holes.

Despite Opposition of
Administration.
BROUSSARD'S DECISION
ON MEASURE AWAITED
Shipstead and Kendrick, in Hos
ritals, Will Be Paired for
Bill if Possible.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Battle lines in the fight over the
debenture clause of the pending farm
relief bill tightened today still further
The outcome may hinge upon the vote
OF single Democratic Senator, Brous-
sard of Louisiana.
Senator Broussard has not announced
definitely yet on which side he will vote
Senator David I. Walsh of Massachu-
SettS, Democrat, who is strongly opposed
to the debenture plan, said today he
had been requested to pair" with SEN
ator Shipstead Of Minnesota, Farmer
Labor, who is for the debenture, and
that he was inclined to agree to this
pairing
Shipstead in Hospital.
Senator Shipstcad is in a hospital n
Baltimore and will be unable to be
present when the vote is taken. He was
permitted to take the oath of Office on
Saturday at the hospital by special reso-
luton of the Senate. Senator Walsh
said today he believed that the whole
Senate was entitled to be told in vote
on an important measure such as this.
A canvass of the Senate showed Sat
urday night AZ Senators against the
debenture plan, 46 for it. excluding
Senator Shlpstead and Senator Brous-
sard. Senator ShipStead'S vote. added
to those faVoring debenture, would make
Al to At. If Senator Broussard votes
for debenture under such circum-
stances, it will be retained in the bill
and the administration defeated.
Nav Vote Wednesday.
Much will depend upon whether any
Senators are absent and impaired"
when the vote is taken. Last minute
arguments are being made by leaders
on both sides in an effort to strengthen
their forces.
vote of the debenture clause prob
ably will be taken on Wednesday. BY
unanimous consent the Senate today
agreed to limit debate after pm.
Wednesday on Senator WatSon's mo-
ton to strike out the debenture plan.
After that hour no Senator will be per-
mitted to speak more than once longer
than 20 minutes on the motion.
Kendrick Also Ill.
One of the Democratic Senators whose
vote is counted for debenture is SEN
ator Kendrick of Wyoming. He is in a
hospital following an operation and may
not be able to leave the hospital for
another 10 days. The supporters of
the debenture plan are having difficulty
arranging pair for Senator Kendrick,
SO that his vote may be counted for
debenture, it was said today.
If it is found impossible to pair SEN
ator Kendrick the result of the vote in
the Senate may be materially affected.
At present there are only 95 members
of the Senate, with vacancy from
Pennsylvania With the vote as close
as it is and an uneven number of SEN
ators. it IS clear that it may not be
possible to pair all absentees.

YOUNG PLAN GOES
TOEXPERTS TODAY
German Conditions Also Will
Be Received at Meeting
This Evening.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 6.-The reparations fig
ures suggested by Owen D. Young and
the conditions made by Germany for
their acceptance were ready today for
submission to the experts of the credi-
tor nations.
Emile Moreau, chief of the French
delegation, returning from his re-elec-
ton as mayor of his native town, was
expected to reach Paris this evening
in time to attend the meeting at which
MIR. Young will present the plan and
the German conditions.
Then will begin what is now regarded
as certainly a final and crucial mo-
ment of the conference. Whether the
French will be persuaded to break
their determination to make no more
sacrifices will be known within a day
or two, with the likelihood that the
second Dawes committee will end its
work before Saturday with report
presenting a final agreement explain
ing to the interested governments what
had been done and what could not be
done will be made.
Now Up to Creditors.
The committee began the thirteenth
week of its efforts to settle the repara-
tions problem today with the situation
somewhat reversed from what it was
when DR.. Hlalmar Schacht, the Ger
man expert, went to Berlin a week ago.
The German requirements as set forth
in DR.. SchaCht'S memorandum present.
ed a fortnight ago seemed TO have made
any arrangement impossible. Today 1t
was the attitude Of the creditor nations
upon which depended the ultimate sue
cess or failure of the negotiations.
This change in the situation has re-
suited from Mr.. Youngs effort to pre-
vent the absolute failure of the con-
ference Those efforts are not uni
formly appreciated by the French press
a part of which is inclined to criticize
the president of the committee Tor
agreeing with the Germans on set OF
figures without having the previous ap-
prOval of the allied nations.
The exact Importance of the sacrlflce
which the allies are called upon TO
make in the proposed compromise can
be figured only when the exact amounts
and conditions are known.
Amounts to 5000, 100000.
According to the best information
however. it would amount for France TO
something like 2,500.000 900 gold marks
or 15.OOO.OOO, 900 francs approximately
5000 coo OOOl. This sacrifice was said
in authorative French circles TO be
impossible for any government to ap-
prove. 1t was recalled that the French
already had been asked 10 make sacrl-
fees to bring down the creditors claim

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, May 6.-Walter John
son, manager of the Nationals, who is
suffering from a kidney infection
brought on by a severe cold, will leave
for Washington at ITO o'clock tonight
accompanied by Clark Griffith, owner of
the Washington ball club. Johnson will
enter hospital as soon as he arrives in
Washington. Clyde Milan has been
placed in charge of the team.
This step was decided on following a
telephone conversation this morning
with DR.. Harry M kaufman, Johnson's
personal physician, who is now in Phil
adelphia.
DR.. P. C. Boylan of the group of ply
sicians that for years has attended i'll
and injured members of the Cleveland
ball club this morning declared John
sons illness due to kidney infection.
Infection Is Old One.
1t was a kidney infection following
an attack of influenza that caused
Johnson's serious illness early last year
while he was in Florida and kept him
from assuming active management of
the Newark club until the international
League season was well under way.
Then Johnson was stricken by influenza
in February, suffering severe attack
The kidney trouble developed in March
and for time the base ball veteran
was desperately i'll in a Jacksonville
hospital
He later was removed to a Washing
ton Hospital, and it was not until April
that he began to recuperate.
Thereafter johnson enjoyed good
health until his arrival here last Friday
with his ball club. He complained of
a cold Friday night and was greatly
annoyed by the disorder Saturday. Yes
terday the cold seemed to have GEN.
tered in the upper part of his legs. re-
caused intense pain.
Illness Feared Serious.
Although he had temperature of
1922 degrees Sunday. his illness was
not accounted serious by him or by an
examining physician. Johnson, however
passed a restless night and this morn
ing the fever had not abated.
DR.. Boylan pronounced the illness
much more serious than at first thought
and ordered that Johnson be kept abSo-
lutely quiet. No others than the physi-
clan and Trainer Mike Martin of the
Washington ball club were permitted
to see Johnson up TO noon today.

Housing Facilities Increase
Urged to Leslie by
Charities Board.

Overcrowded prison conditions,
such as have been the cause Of
tragic riots in other states, prevail
in Indiana.
The remedy lies in increased
housing facilities and the extension
of the indeterminate sentence law
so that more paroles may be
granted.
Such is the solution offered by the
state charities board at its annual
meeting at the statehouse Tuesday
afternoon. Attention is called TO
the overcrowding in a report to be
submitted to the Governor. The
solution also is incorporated in the
report.
The Indiana state prison at
Michigan City, with a normal ca
pacity of 1900, has population OF
2,1S8, the report sets out.
Factory buildings, neither planned
nor equipped for the housing OF
prisoners, are being used for sleep
ing and domestic quarters" 1t con-
tinues. THE completion Of new
dollhouse, now under construction,
will relieve conditions to some
extent.

planned and built for 1900, now is

ton has, at times during the past
year, been over 1000"
Extension of the indeterminate
sentence to all but life prisoners
was recommended.
