AIR 'PACT NEE
OPENS TODAY

PARIS, June 10 UN,S.).-Dele-
gates from the principal nations of
the world convened in Paris today to
revise the 1919 aviation treaty and
make it conform with the conditions
of aerial traffic as they are expected
to be when transatlantic flying is
perfected.
w. p. McCracken, Assistant Sec
rotary Of Commerce for Aviation
in the United states Government,
will cite the gigantic strides made
by America as an argument that
the old treaty is out of date, and
that a new international agree
ment must look toward situar
ton scarcely pictured a few years
ago.
Use Ship Stations
Although refusing to style him
self a prophet, McCracken fore
sees the possibility of transatlan-
tic airplane for steady and efficient
use within five or ten years. He
fails to perceive nonstop planes
engaged in this traffic. but he does
admit that number of ships, like
military airplane carriers, might
be able to stand out at sea and af-
ford comfortable haven to Europe
by-air tourists
The air congress will be asked to
approve revisions drawn up by DR..
Wiegert, of Germany. which have
the approval of Germany and
America. They are:
l. Relief from present national
restrictions which subject airplanes
to domestic control in countries
where they do not land:
2. The recognition by all countries
of tn. air-worthiness certificates is
sueo by any adherent of the treaty;
3. Simpler and more uniform
traffic rules:
A. Regulations for customs In.
spection at airports that will keen
abreast of the Increasing number
of international airlines.
From the standpoint of the
extensiveness of commercial avia-
ton, America has leading interest
in the new treaty, according to
McCracken. Americas 1000 civilian
or commercial planes equal those
of all the other nations Of the
world. Germany, one of the fore
most nations in commercial aviation,
has only 1000 planes.
1919 Treaty Fails
The 1919 treaty was signed by
the allies and the United States,
but the American Senate failed to
ratify it. The former central
powers refused to adhere on the
suspicion that the treaty was
politically linked with the treaty
of Versailles.
If the present conference agrees
upon revised treaty, diplomatic
negotiations to complete it may fol
low early in 1880.

Q.N.S ).-Prominent laymen, clergy
men, commercial and political
leaders, assembled here today for
the four-day sessions of the insti-
tute of religion to discuss the
feasibility of merger of all the
Protestant denominations.
Discussions of the duplication of
efforts by the various denomina.
lions and the study of the general
trend toward consolidation and
merger of various church groups
will occupy the attention of the
delegates. Presbyterian, Methodist,
Baptist, Congregational and Re-
formed Lutheran church leaders
are among the 100 delegates present
at the Buckhfll Falls Farm in the
Pocono Mountains, where the daily
conferences are held.
The institute was called by J. C.

magnate, who believes that "busi-
ness principles" should be applied
to the management of the Protestant
denominations.

mill. After the shooting, the police
rounded up several score persons in
the "Tent City," erected by the

The charge against the men and
women when they were arrested was
assault with intent to kill. but the
authorities said that the charge
against many of them now would be
changed to murder.

RECESS AGREED
BUT NO DATE
IS FIXED

The Administrations pro-
gram to send Congress home
on a summer vacation was ap-
proved today by the Demo-
cratic party in the Senate, al
though the minority decided
to oppose the fixing Of def
mite date for enactment of the
new Republican tariff bill next
fall.
The Democrats agreed to enact
the farm and tariff bills and to dis
pose of President Hoover's request
for repeal of the National Origins
immigration Act at the present ses-
sion.
Their attitude, however, in oppoB.
ing a date for enacting the tariff
may bring a 'curtailment of the adj
ministration's original program for
an all-summer recess.
Want Time For Debate
Administration leaders, however.
predicted the debenture would be
stricken from the bill by the Senate,
Tuesday or Wednesday, and that the
measure would be sent to the White
House in the form approved by the
President by the end of the week.
They ikeN Use declared their plan to
give Congress an all-summer vaca-
ton would be carried out late this
week.
The Democratic minority met this
morning to determine q party course
of action. Democratic leaders were
more concerned about securing an
agreement for q partition of debating
time ON the tariff next fall than in
blocking the recess. II they can be
assured of time to debate their
amendments to the tariff bill, they
will agree to q date for final enact.
ment of the tariff at the special ses-
sion and to ala all-summer recess.
The indications were that the re-
cess would start about Friday and
last until September.
Tariff Hearings Open
The Senate tariff hearings, open
to the public for the first time
within memory. will start Wednes-
day. The Senate Finance Commit.
tee viii meet then to hear witnesses
on the question OF valuations. On
Thursday, the committee, dividing
into subcommittee, win begin q
series of public hearings on SEIZED
ules and rates, which win last un.
| til the second week OF July.
Four subcommittee will meet
simultaneously and Thursdays
schedules will include tobacco and
papers and books. On Friday, hear
ings will be held on chemicals, oils,
paints. spirits, wines, and cotton.
The committee hopes to complete
drafting the bill by August 10.
The new census and reapportion.
ment bill must be enacted by adop-
ton Of the conference report some
time this week. Both House and
Senate undoubtedly will approve it
/ in short order.
The Presidents request for repeal
Of the national origins act may
prove a greater stumbling block to
the recess. A change of sentiment
in the Senate has made the outcome
doubtful, if the proposed repeal can
be brought to q vote. The opposi.
ton, however, may filibuster
against the vote and Administration
leaders then will be confronted with
the alternative Of abandoning this
phase Of the Presidents program
or their vacation program in order
to smash the filibuster.

CUERS, France, May IS. Dr. Eckener has taken charge of the mechanical examination of the four motors which failed him on his attempt to fly the Graf Zeppelin to the United States.
 Until Dr. Eckener and experts from ,Friedrichshafen have give n the engines an exhaustive exam ination, no report will be made as to the cause of their failure.
 Regardless of rumors, new eff fort will be made to make the flight and this will be attempted within the next two weeks.

TWENTY-FOUR ARE INJURED
 IN COLLISION
Gas Car Crashes Into Rear End of Stalled Freight
 -One Man Dead

KANE, Wash, May 18.- Plans are under way for the of ficial investigation into the cause of rear-end collision yesterday afternoon in which E. P. Cooper, freight train conductor, was killed and 24 others injured.
 Officials claim the blame appar- ently rests between O. w. Har- rison, motorman of the gas car which rammed a freight, and P. J. Mueller, freight flagman, who was supposed to halt the gas car.
 Passengers on the train asserted Mueller and Harrison engaged in an altercation after the wreck as to who was to blame.
 One passenger said the gas car was travelling about 30 miles an hour and that Harrison did not apply the brakes before the crash.
 One witness said Mueller was posted at the rear of the stalled train and apparently became con- fused owing to the number of tracks in the vicinity. He did not believe the gas car and freight were on the same track, he said.
