given RECEIPT for the So required as
a deposit for the new cards. This re-
ceipt. Mr.. Eldridge said, will serve as a
temporary permit until the new per-
mits are issued in cases where the per-
mits have already expired.
The delay in renewing the permits
is due principally to the thorough check
being made of the records of all appli-
cants for new cards. Drivers having

issued three years ago are being called
into the Traffic Bureau for an eXami-

GREEK THREATENS
TO S.AY MINISTER
IN LEGATION HERE
CONTINUED From First Page.)

Vrisakis went to telephone In another
room and called for police.
Minister Simopoulos was out Of the
legation at the time and did not return
to his ONCE until shortly after noon.
after the police had taken lie man
away. He did not know of the case
and made no comment.
VriSakis explained that the case of
Catenatis' brother has been brought
forcibly to the legations attention for
some time. He declared that the Greek
consul in New York has been visited
many times by Catenatis and heard the
case repeatedly. advising him that there
was nothing that he or the legation in
Washington could do about it.
We considered the man in unfortu-
nate circumstances and have done
everything in our power to help him
even have given him money Vrisakis
said.
The first secretary expressed the fear
that il the man is allowed his liberty
again, he will make good his threat to
shoot Minister Simopoulos. He sug-
gested that deportation would be the
pest solution Of the case.
Carried Two Weapons.
At police headquarters police say a
pistol and knife were found in the mans
possession. They have not learned on
just what ground Williams bases his
claim, although they say he apparently
is rational.
When the call for assistance came to
headquarters, Capt. Walter E. Emerson
sent Detective Cullinane, Policeman H.
H. Carper. driver of the police car, and
E. G. Fletcher, an employe of the
District. who happened to be present.
When they arrived, the oficers went
first to the fourth floor of the building,
where they said they found the first
secretary in the dining room on that
floor. He informed them that the man
he wanted them to arrest was down.
stairs in a ground-f1oor Office. When
they went down they found their
prisoner talking to young woman who
apparently was employed there.
AS the officers entered Williams spun
around and confronted them with an
eight-inch knife.
He told them to stay away, but the
officers rushed in and overpowered Will
liamS by force. In his pocket, police
allege, Williams had new .32-caliber
automatic revolver, which he had just
purchased in Philadelphia, he told
police.
The arresting officers said that If
attaches did not prosecute williams they
would lodge a charge against him for
carrying concealed weapons.

The bill is counted on by Represent

Not only are the farmers generally
disappointed and .vindictive toward

said, but they and consumers generally

tariff issue than they have been since
the revolt of 1910, which resulted in a
split in the Republican party and a

The court sustained the objection on
that ground.
A telegram from A. r. Graustin to
Lavarre. dated April 81, 1929, was read
into the record without complementary
evidence.
It said: Doubt that particulars of
note will be divulged, but in any event
papers as drawn are apparently the
only available legal method. Do not
believe form of note Is material from
public standpoint"
Hall and Lavarre had signed note
for $780, 1000 to the paper company, the
purchase price of the four newspapers.
Cross-examination of Head began at
1910 am. The issue was submitted to
Judge Bascom S. Deaver, presiding,
who ruled he would have to see such
memoranda in private before passing
on its relevancy.
Conference Is Delayed.
Harold Hall, the plaintiff. in suit

PROTECTION is ASKED.
Dawes to Call on England TO Safeguard
Americans.

Secretary Stimson today instructed
Ambassador Dawes to express to the
British foreign Office the earnest hope
that the British government would take
immediate and comprehensive measures
to protect American lives and property
in Jerusalem.
On Saturday, Mr.. Stimson said
American Consul Paul Knabenshue at
Jerusalem, called upon local authorities
there to protect American lives and
property. The State Department urged
Knabenshue yesterday to emphasize to
the local authorities at Jerusalem the
necessity for such protection.
Secretary StimSon described his ac-
ton today, however. in calling to the
attention of. the British foreign office
the necessity of protecting Americans
as the normal and natural course for
the Washington Government to take.
He added that his instructions to AM
bassador Dawes were only sent after a
considerable number Of Americans had
been killed.
The States Department made public
dispatches from the consul giving de-
tails of the clashes between the Jews
and the MoslemS In general confirming
those which have already been pub
lished.
Consul Knabenshue so far has not
transmitted to the department any re-
quest from Americans In Jerusalem Tor

that there IL no intention on the part
of the American Government to send
