Doumergue Confers With Leaders
 On Problem of Selecting French
 Premier to Form Another Cabinet

the French stand. Since inc n,i1,ul i ol la-I week when French demands
 for just less than 725.0uu naval tor,
 were made known the other maya | powers have been unable 10 nrornad 1 toward an agreement. realizing that i unless france reduces it's ficure> ! they would be forced into naval
 building program, which DrobahIy 1 would surpaSs any of their former expectations.
 Inc French suggestion was moi taken seriously, the idea being that i, represented a basis for baryajnino rather than az Premier Tardic,l mi It. an absolute minimuul. Further discussion with tho French rrnrr- sentatl1es however, did not improve the situation and Monday apparently. brought realization that there prob- ably was little use in asking France to les@en her demands.
 One Alternative Offered
 Only one alternative 10 the -o5 ooo tons navy by the end Of 19af was offered, intimatious being 2ilan that fl the other naval powers uould Joln in Mediterranean security nact the French might find some slight reduction possible. American obiec- tons to such q scheme were con tlrmed yesterday by the dclagatjon. British objections were considered apparent from the flr-t.
 Even if new premier is appoint- cd at Paris. and he succeeds in forming q cabinet, il vas not bsliey- cd today the situation will be altered materially. The Turdicu demands nave found considerable popularity Ill Paris. N, Ioincar". if designated head of the government. probably would seek no less than M Tardieu: should N, Briand bc made premier it was believed he would adhere 10 the Tardicu figures, rather than risk fall by abandoning them. but would uSc them as an Argument in favor of further security pacts, Il subject very near his heart.
 Consider Possible Work
 there was much conversation among the delegates of the four re- malnlnG powers today on what could be done in the absence of the French. In some quarters the tend encE was to hail the French crisis with something lil," . sigh of relief. since II postponed for several days further consideration of the French heavy tonnage demands, which hav,. brought the conference to real im- paSSe.
 Prior to the di&quictin@ news from Paris of the fall of the government | there Prime Minister Macdonald, | Secretary Stimson and Ecijiro Wa conferred with their advis- !

Tardieu Conceded Almost Necessary Because of Familiarity With Naval Conference Where He Increased Prestige.

Paris, Feb. IS tP,-Former Pre-. huor Poincarc, who recently recor- cred from an illness and who's, name mas been mentioned as pos Slply playing a part in inc n,.,y Trench cabinet, arrived at Elys,e palace this afternoon.
 President Doumcrgeu's search f0y new French premier began th,s morning with customary consult1- lions with political chiefs and party leaders. Former President Poinca "e was among the first summoned to the Elysee palace, the president wishing his views on the situation created by defeat Of Premier Tar dleu and his government in sle chamber of deputies yesterday.

Leaves Naval CNnfcrcncc

London, Feb. Is (P}-With a sud. den change of plans of the French naval conference delegation, Georges IcygueS today left for Paris in con- nectlon with the French govcrnmcn, crisis. Previously he had been or dered to stay in London as a con- ference observer.
 While this political monkey wrench has damaged the conference machinery, there were still parts o; It running today though greatly re- )ardcd. Prime Minister MacDonul ] asked Secretary Stimson and For olgn Minister Grandi to meet him this afternoon in the house of com mons for consultation. Interest attached 10 this meeting particularly because 1t has been generally uu- dorstood that Grundi has been pre- parlng to publish | statement ot ltalya position. This statement would be in effect an answer to Frances claims for q tonnage Of 124,0o0.
 The American delegation met this morning under the leadership of Secretary Stim son and reviewed last nights conversations with the Japanese regarding naval ratios The Americans also considered tha position of the conference as af- lcctcd by the fall of the French caplhct, It is understood the Amcr- lcahs take the view that progress of 1he conference will not seriously be Interfercd with since it is anticipat- cd the French will be in position 10 resume activities within d fe.y days.

Call or Conferences

One ot the first effects of tho frehch crisis was the cancellation of scheduled Franco American con- terence but the Americans filled in thclr tune with other matters, There vas ilttlc surprise at Amcrica, headquarters when the news cama 'hat the French cabinet had faIlao SInce all day yesterday there wor.. strong rumors here that a crisis was pending.
 Naturally there was much spccu- latlon throughout conference circle. regarding the complexion of th, new French cabinet. This snocu1a non turned on the point of whether another cabinet might be moro in. cllncd to make concessions in thn fench claim. In any event if the ne" caplnct stands pat on tbr ffcnch demands for il 7o4o00 ion mage and the refusal to grant 1tal, pdrIty' It will be doing no more th,n the last cabinet did.

Of BRICK
COSTS $4,000

Some years ago the late Tom
Marshall, of Indiana, then Vice
President, remarked that what
this country needed most was a
good scent cigar.
For some time the common
brick manufacturers have realized
that what the country needs to-
day is $4,000 brick house.
These manufacturers have an
association with numerous dis
trict and State divisions, and
most of these have been trying
to dig up an architect and builder
who could produce this marvel.
1t begins finally to appear as
possible.

more to hearten Walter john

The Washington times., 1930-08-05

When the Washington base
ball club left yesterday after
noon for New York, it departed
with a determinat tion from
which may sprout what seems
now to be a somewhat remote
achievement.
The team had devoted the
morning to show, by its pres
ence. at the Walter johnson
home, its profound sympathy
for their leader who has been
stricken by a grief which no
man understandeth who hasn't
passed through it.
It had seen their chieftain
stand bowed and broken by the
bier of his mate, and not
a dry eye remained among the
players at the sight of this great
demonstration of devotion as he
watched each remaining mo
ment that he might impress i'm
delib1y upon his vision the like
ness of her who had been his
inspiration, his guide. his idol.
THAI the world lavished re-
Spect and tribute might be un-
seen and unheeded by him, so
transfixed he was with his Sor-
row. That no human hand could
stir to assuage his anguish made
him almost a subject OF cruci-
fiXion..
Only time will heal the wound.
Today his ball players are in
New York with a sworn determi
nation to do whatever is posi-.
BILE to let Walter forget, even
for a moment. the ordeal
through which he has just
passed.
To a man the Griffmen are
ready to exert every energy,
even to summon undreamed-Of
valor, to do this thing for Wal
ter Johnson.
Glory for themselves is no

NEW YORK, Aug. 5. - That
President Griffith is hot on the
trail of an outfielder for the
Washington club was learned to-
day.
Griffith, whose shrewd trades
have gained the respect of the
baseball world shis season. Is said
to have put in bid for minor
league gardener. That the pro-
posed deal may be closed shortly
was gathered. With Sammy Rice
in bad way physically, the Griff-
men are in a tough spot just now.
Although he would prefer land
ing a right hand hitter, the Old
Fox has waived that angle. An
emergency man who could cover
Rice's position capably would be
welcomed at this time. In the
meantime the veteran Rice insists
that he will be unable to hold up
much longer. A victim of the
recent heat wave, Sammy was not
even a sure thing to break into
today's lineup. Declares Rice.
