POLITICS
HALT DEBT STEPS
Plans for Preparations Farley
as Proposed by France,
Meet Obstacles.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, July 5-Domestic politics,
both in France and Great Britain, have
brought the negotiations to fix a date
and place for a conference of the gov
ernments interested in reparations to a
sharp halt.
The only thing that has been definite
ly decided is that the delegates will be
unable to get together before the first
week of August.
The powers thus far have made no
reply to the French suggestion that the
procedure for putting the Young plan
into effect and ending the military &C.
cupation of the Rhineland be divided
into three stages.
The French proposal to hold the con-
ference at Lausanne, Switzerland, also
remains officially unanswered, although
1t Is understood that contact between
the representatives of France and some
of the other powers has developed the
fact that there Is no special objection.
Premier Macdonald Is thought here
to be holding his reply until he gets
answers from the other governments to
his suggestion that the conference be
held in London.
Foreign Minister BRAND Is unable to
give further attention to the matter for
the moment. because of the critical
state Of French domestic politics.
1t is expected, however. that definite
arrangements will be made as soon as
Premier Macdonald gets a breathing
spell from his present parliamentary
discussions.

PRINCE OF TURKEY
SUES FOR JEWELS
Son of Abdul Hamid Seeking Re.
covery of Crown Gems Valued
at $25, 10000
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
BUDAPEST, July 5.-Prince Abdul
Kadir, son of the late Sultan Abdul
Hamid of Turkey has begun proceed
ings against Mustafa Renal PaSha for
the recovery of Turkish crown jewels
valued at $25,000,000.
The prince in his declaration asserts
that the jewels were conf1Scated by the
Turkish government after the late Sui
tan Mohammed VI fed from Constan-
tinople on a British battleship. Abdul
Kadir, who Is suing jointly with his
brothers as legitimate heirs to the i'm
perial family, explains that unlike the
crown jewels of other monarchies, the
Turkish gems have been considered the
personal assets of the imperial Ottoman
family, since the sixteenth century.
Renal PaSha, the royal plaintiff
insists, has no legal right as the repre-
sentative of the Turkish government
either to offer the jewels for sale or to
deprive the Sultan's heirs Of their prop
erty. Diamonds, rubies and emeralds OF
enormous size, presented to Turkeys
Sultans during the last 500 years by
Russian czars. Indian potentates,
French Kings, British rulers, Japanese
MikadoS and Chinese EmperorS, are in
cluded IN the costly collection.
He contends further that Renal aims
to put these jewels on the international
market and with the proceeds establish
the first state bank in Turkey.
With this end in view, 1t Is alleged
Renal summoned to Angora the IA
NOUS French diamond expert Dus-
sausoy of Paris, who appraised the
treasure of 100000 900. Abdul Kadil
understands that Renal proposes tt
consult Hjalmar Schacht, president Of
the German Reichsbank, with the OBJ
ject Of drawing up tie charter and by
laws of the new bank, adding that hi
believes it would be almost impossible
to sell the Jewels for cash in the oper
market because of their enormous sizt
and individuality. He expresses the
opinion, therefore, that Renal woult
ultimately be forced to pawn them q
security for the proposed bank.

Special Dispatch to The star

Special Dispatch to The Star
MCLEAN, Va, July 5-Returning to
his home at Forestville late last night
with holiday receipts from the Great
Falls tollgate, Frank Van Patten, opera
tor of the gate, was attacked by trio
Of masked men and robbed of his COL
lections, amounting to about $50.
Van Patten, who is about so years
old, was not seriously hurt, although he
was badly shocked by his experience.
After hitting him with some unTecog-
nizable instrument the men fed into
the dense woods nearby. Fairfax County
authorities are conducting wide search
for the robbers.
According to the story told John
Blackman, in charge of the toll gate,
which is the property Of the Washing
ton, Great Falls & Dranesville High
way Co., Van Patten closed up the
dollhouse at a late hour after busy
day checking in Fourth OF July
visitors to Great Falls. The toll gate,
located about midway between Mclean
and the Falls, provides money Tor prl-
vate maintenance Of the only Virginia
gateway to the Potomac rapids.
AS the operator was about to put
his car in his garage at ForeStvllle,
about a mile above Great Falls, he
was attacked without warning by the
men, who approached him under cover
Of darkness. At least one Of them wore
q mask, and Van Patten believes all
were white.
After throwing Van Patten to the
ground, the men robbed him of the
money and ran to the woods, it was
stated.
Blackman expressed the opinion that
the men were well acquainted with
the toilgate and with the movements
of Its operator.
Van Patten did not report for work

HENLEY, England, July 5.-One
American crew, the Columbia Uni
versity ightweights, went down to de-
feat in the Royal Henley regatta today,
but the Browne Nichols School from
Boston was more successful.
Columbia lost to the Trinity College
eight from Cambridge by the crushing
y'"argin Of 4 lengths. The Boston team
ease.
Browne Nichols boys will meet the
conQuerors of Columbia in the semi
finals tomorrow. Apparently they will
have to pick up a few seconds time
somewhere If they are to be victorious,
as Trinity won from Columbia in
minutes and % seconds for the mile
and f1ve-SixteenthS, which Is f1ve Sec
onds faster than the schoolboys reg
istered. Browne Nichols was not ex-
tended, however, and may be able to
achieve the feat.
Columbia's scrappy lightweights were
beaten in q gruelling race that was
rowed in the face of stiff gale over
the whole course. The wind, blowing
dead against the crews, proved o bigger
handicap to the Americans, who average
only $50 pounds per man, than to their
heavier rivals, and Trinity led almost
from the start.
Columbia's setback came in the quar-
terminals of the competitio for the
Thams cup. The New York college boys
up to this time had beaten all comera in
England, winning their event in the
NARROW regatta and capturing their
previous heats here.
The American crews were entered
only In competition for the Thames
Cup, an event which is second in in

classic, in which the finest Fights OF
England and Canada are arrayed.
