Fourteenth street and Kalmia road in

equipped with out-of- door, unheated
toilet facilities, while the only running
water for drinking or washing pur-
poses is supplied by bubble fountain

ADAMS |NTERCEDES
TO SAVE TWO BOYS
Secretary of Navy Helps
Young Rupp, Held for An
napoIis Substitution.

Secretary of the Navy Adams inter-
ceded this afternoon to save from
prosecution Sherwin Rupp. 19-year-old
California youth who hired substitute
to take the vision examination for An
napolis Naval Academy.
The Secretary sent j. H. Taylor, chief
of the Navy Identification office, to
United States Attorney Rover, request
ing him to drop the prosecution Of
Rupp and Paul David Schooler, Wash
ington youth, who substituted for Rupp
after the former had failed to pass the
examination. Both boys were released
this afternoon in the custody of Senator
Shortridge of California, and the charge
will be dropped tomorrow, when they
appear before United States Commis-
sioner Turnage for hearing.
Rupp also found an ardent champion
in Senator Shortridge of California.
Senator Shortridge today offered to ap-
pear at the hearing In defense of Rupp.
II will do everything in my power
that is proper, to have the charges dis
missed" the Senator said today. This
is matter for humane consideration,
rather than legal technicalities. 1t is
perfectly absurd that the United States
Government should prosecute this boy,
whose only fault was his patriotism and
zeal to serye it,
At an interview this morning with
Milton F. Barrett, attorney for Rupp
and Paul David Schooler, 10 years old,
of 1901 C street southwest, the substi-
tute, who is also charged with con-
spiracy. Senator Shortridge authorized
the lawyer to go to United States At
torney Leo A. Rover and request in
his name that the preliminary hearing

boys be released in his custody.

Through newspapers we learned of

inexperience may we not ask you to
request dismissal of the charges. He
is a boy of high standing and good

Thanked by Parents.
In reply to Senator Shortridge's

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
CUT 45 PER CENT
No Fatalities Listed in First
15Days of Police Safety
Campaign.

The first half month of the police
war on traffic violators, ended today,
saw a As per cent reduction of injuries
in automobile accidents. 1t was further
shown that there were no fatalities dur
ing this time, as compared with four
deaths in the IA days preceding the
safety drive.
On the other hand, the arrests for
traffic infringements have reached to-
tai substantially above the average fig
ure, while penalties meted out in Police
Court are also higher.
Seventeen persons arrested on traffic
charges spent last night in jail-the
largest number detained since the cru
sade was instituted, June 81. For the
most part these were arrested on major
charges, although police are on the
alert for minor tnfringements as weh.

day-Vote Desired by
July 20.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, July 11.-Premier Poincart
fired the first gun in Parliament today
in what promises to be a keen battle
over ratification of the Mellon -Berengel
debt accord. In beginning his speech
which was expected to last most of the
day, the premier strongly urged unre-
served ratification.
Contrary to his custom, M. Poincart
refrained from making an elaborate
review of the history of the case, but
squarely confronted the chamber with
its responsibilities.
There are two ways In which you
may destroy the Young plan," he began
first by non-ratif1cation, and, second
by ratification with reservations unac-
ceptable to our creditors"
Attitude Stuns Chamber.
The premier rather stunned the
Chamber by the combative manner in
which he pressed home the following
argument: How can we ask Germany
to bind herself to pay us during SO
years If we are not prepared to do like
wise toward our creditors?"
This was received in an ominous ST.
acted as though they had never looked
at it that way before.
Points Out Dangers.
M. Poincare drew a picture of what
would happen unless the accord was rati-
fed. ut MEANS" he said, that France
will be drawn before an arbitration
tribunal where the United States has
a clear case, merely presenting little
slips of paper signed by France acknowl-
edging the debts"
The premier was surrounded by IL
of his ministers, and as he proceeded
in his address he left the members
under no Misrepresentation regarding
the governments policy, which is for
unreserved ratification.
Acknowledgements of indebtedness
signed by France to the United States
M. Poincare declared, bound France
just as strongly as treasury bonds.
The chamber has decided to sit to-
morrow and Saturday. Beginning Tues
day the chamber will be in session every
evening until midnight in order to OBJ
tain vote before July 20, if possible.

FRENCH FEAR ISOLATION.
Not to Ratify Debt Payments Called
Suicide by Leaders.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER


PARIS, July 11.-Barring political ac-
cidents, it can now be considered GER
tain that the debates on the war debts
agreements, which were resumed today
with an expose of the situation by Pre-.
mier Poincare, will end a few days
hence in ratification of the American
and British war debt agreements by
France.
Deputies who seemed few days ago
TO have been without full comprehen-
sion of the facts, and who moreover
had been stirred by the various politi-
cal intrigues looking toward the over
throw of M. Poincare, are now better
informed.
Louis Rollin of the Left Center de-
clares mot to ratify would isolate
France and would imply a policy of
armament, which is just what the
French people do not want"
The Republican Socialist group, five
of whose members are cabinet minis
tiers, has voted the following signifi-
cant resolution: Considering that the
issue is ratification of transaction on
the debt which reduces it more than
half, considering further that the Amer
ican Treasury undoubtedly holds ne
gotiable bonds of the French treasury
and considering finally that If there Is
no ratification not only the war stocks
of 10000, 900 900 francs due on August
l. but also the entire American war
debt stands due without reduction and
that moreover the Young plan would be
impossible and ance would be obliged
to demand from Germany annuities
which would trouble the peace of Eu-
rope and prolong the policy of cages
(Securities, i. E., Rhineland occupation)
which in turn would delay international
reconciliation, we have decided that
ratification is essential, 1t being under
stood that Frances payments shall
never exceed those of its debtor"
AS. most members of te Right, most
members of the Center and part of the
Left favor ratification, IL seems assured.
The only real issue is that concerning
the form that reservations shall take.
The Left wants them Fincluded in the
text of the ratification. The govern
ment opposes this on the grounds that
it is not acceptable to the United
States. The finance commission still in
siSts, though more weakly than hereto
fore, that the reservations shall be in
the text of the ratification, but the for
eign affairs commission has switched to
the governments viewpoint. It can be
considered relatively sure that whatever
reservations are voted, they will be kept
separate from the diplomatic instrument
of ratification; hence they will have no
significance so far as the United States
is concerned.

JAPANESE OPPOSES
FIXED NAVY RATIOS
Takarabe Says Mere Setting of
Limitations Would Give Chance

BY WARD PHELPS.

Special Dispatch to The Star and the Chi
cago Daily News.
TOXIC, July 1l.-Admiral Takarabe,
naval minister, in an interview today
regarding disarmaments, said Japan did
not want the mere fixing Of limitation
ratios between nations, because this
would give chance for undue construc-
ton. He declared Japan unable to
lead the way to such a conference, but
eager to cooperate In any steps pro-
posed by Great Britain.
Takarabe said he would be unable to
attend such parley himself, but urged
that Japan send the highest possible
Qualified expert, although he thought
it quite right that diplomats take charge
of the actual agreement signed between
the nations.
