FiVe-PoWer Accord to Fail
If France Puts Ban
on British Plan.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.

LONDON, April 1.-The French
and British today continued to
wrestle with the political problems
involving European security, on the
solution of which depends the life
or death of the f1ve-power naval
conference.
ANY moment now the two are
expected to reach a point where
France definitely accepts or rejects
the British Interpretation of Articles
IL and Is of the League of Nations
covenant as sufficient warrant for a
reduction of naval tonnage demands
and compromise with Italy. These
are the clauses providing for CO.
operative action against aggreSsor
nations.
If France accepts the British in
depreciation, despite Britain's cate
gorical declaration that under no
circumstances will she accept addi-
tional commitments, either under
the covenant or Locarno treaties,
the announcement Of a tentative
five-power naval agreement prob
ably will come at Fridays plenary
session.
But if France rejects the British
proposals, Fridays meeting is likely
to be in the nature of a funeral for
the five-poWer agreement.
At the sare time, a three-power
agreement among Britain, America
and Japan will spring to life, and
after Fridays burial, drafting of
that treaty would be the principal
work of the conference.

AvERTED
IN MOVIE FIRE
Audience Calm as Flames
Attack Films.

Presence Of mind Of audience at
the Stratford theater, 1927 College
avenue, early Monday night,
averted a panic when fire broke out
in the projection chamber, burning
an operator and damaging the in
terror more than $500.
William Cole, 26, of 200 West
Thirty-fourth street, was burned on
the hands and face in efforts to ex-
tinguish the blazing celluloid film.
AS the picture f1ickered and a
wisp of smoke was projected on the
screen, the majority of those in the
theater realized what had hap
pened. Most of them arose and
walked out Of the theater quietly,

MARCH GAS TAX Is
HIGHER THIS YEAR
Increase Over Corresponding Month
in 1929 is S343,3S7.

Indiana gasoline tax collected for
March, 1890, shows a gain of S343,-
387.63 over March, 1929, total of
81, 059 ,599.27 being collected during
the last month, Leland K. Fishback
gasoline tax collector in the Office
of the state auditor. said today.
The gain is attributed to the l
cent increase in gasoline tax which
became effective April l, 1929, and to
gain of 2,616,26O gallons in con-
sumption during the month. Re-
fund of tax collections to farmers
for gasoline used on farms increased
s1,912 to $18,91S10 during the
month.
For the first three months of 1880
tax collections gained $1,022, 626.55
over the same period of 1929 and
consumption increased 6,166,656 gall
Ions.

Then it started up. The figures
for the next nine wears follow:

"We're crowded right now" says
DR.. Oughton. "We're putting up
new buildings across the street to
take care of our patients"
Close examination of DR.. Ough-
tons figures yields some interest
ing facts.
For instance: Fewer farmers are
taking the cure nowadays. In 1917
there Ill farmers at the institute;
last year there were only SO.
"That may not necessarily mean
that the farmers are doing less
drinking" says DR.. Oughton. "It
may simply be because of the agri-
cultural depression, which has made
farmers less able, financially, either
to drink heavily or to pay for the
cure"
Statesmen on Increase
Other classes of the population
have increased. Statesmen who take
the cure have increased from SO in
1916 to 80 in 1929. Merchants have
risen from So in 1916 to 70 in 1929.
Newspaper editors have jumped
from five in 1916 to ten in 1929.
There's one peculiar thing" says
DR.. Oughton. "a greater proper
ton of our alcoholic cases now show
mental disturbances than was the
case in the old days. This may be
because the quality of the liquor
now is worse, Or it may be because
men get drunken now than they
used to. I don't know.
II do know this. Men who have
taken the cure, gone home and then
resumed drinking heavily, so that
they have had to come back to us
for another course of treatments,
tell me that it's harder to lay off of
liquor now than it used to be. They
are offered more. The whole bust
ness Of drinking is done differently.
men carry booze with them now,
whereas before prohibition they
rarely did. Consequently it's always
accessible"

ON VERGE OF
DEATH BY GAS
Former Stage Star Rushed

MARRIAGE ON ROCKS
Wife of Irish Duke Gone
From Her Residence
for Weeks.
Bu United Press

Bu Unfted Press
LONDON, April Weeping bit
terly in a gas-f1lled room she had
rented under an assumed name, the
duchess Of Leinster, wife of the
premier duke of Ireland, was found
this morning on the verge of
death, and was taken to a hospital.
The duchess, tcfore her mar
riage, was May Etheridge, a musical
comedy actress. She became en-
gagged to the duke of Leinster, then
Lord Edward Fitzgerald, while she
was playing a leading part in ''Prin-
cess Caprice" at the Shaftesbury
theater in London.
In 1913, she and Lord Edward
were married, and in 1922, through
the death of his brother, her hus-
band succeeded to the titles, which
include those of Earl Of Ofaly and
Marquis of Kildare. The duchy
was created in 1865, but the baroney
Of Offaly goes back to 1905.
Have One Son
The couple have one son, who
holds the honorary title of mar
quis of Kildare.
In 1913, after their marriage, the
duke and duchess of Leinster spent
their honeymoon in a shack in the
wilds of Canada.
At the hospital where she was
taken it was disclosed that the
duchess had been living in a room
of a. suburban apartment house at
Brixton for about a month. She
had assumed the name of Mrs.
Williams"
The seat of the duchy is Carton,
Maynooth county, Kildare, Ireland.
The landlady of the apartment
house where the duchess was found
suffering from gas poisoning was
quoted today as saying that Her
Grace came to the place about a
month ago in company of man
who introduced the couple as Mr..
and Mrs. Williams"
Condition Is Critical
The landlady saw both of them
last night, she said, on the way to
their apartment. Later she was in
formed that "Mr. Williams" had
called the police and reported find
ing Mrs. Williams" in the kitchen
with fumes from a gas oven pour
ing into the room.
The duchess was clad in dress
ing gown when the police found
her.
Her condition was reported criti-
cal by hospital authorities.
The duchess was a remarkably
beautiful woman with chestnut hair.
Some years ago she played in 'The
Arcadians" as a chorus girl and she
had chorus parts in other plays of
the noted director, Robert Court
neige.
Several years ago there were re-
ports Of domestic difficulties in the
ducal family, and rurnors that the
duke would seek divorce. At that
time, the duchess was reported as
saying she would oppose vigorously
any attempt at separation.
Subsequently, it was reported the
pair were estranged and the duchess
a few years ago was said to be in
rather Straitened circumstances.

of the old hangman's quarters,

Thick, white walls reflect the

a few small jets in the walls, and
the one door being constructed to
