Boyle, County Roscommon, Irish Free State, July 12 P>-In a final gesture of disdain for the first "Orangeman," q statue erected here 50 years ago of William Prince Of Orange and King of England, has been sold to metal dealer for few shillings. It will be melted down and used for building purposes.
 The statue had an interesting his- tory after it's erection by an earl Of Kingston. It first stood on a bridge in the center of this little town. The inhabitants. most of whom violently disagreed with the tenets of the prince himself, dubbed it King Billy"
 Frequently in recent years the statue would be found of a morning tarred and feathered or painted i'll the new national colors. Finally it was thrown into the river Shannon. from which Orange partisans res- cued it. They painted it white and set it up on a high monument iE the local tennis ground.
 One morning the police found it without a head. Another time a branch was placed in one hand and a De Valera flag in the other. A year ago what was left of King Billy" was thrown to the ground, remaining there until the govern ment decided to sell it to a metal dealer.

 HANS ANDERSEN
Pageant Depicts Plot of Popular
 Fairy Stories

Odense, Denmark, July 12 UP) The people of Denmark turned yesterday towards the quiet brook in Munkemoellestra alley where many years ago Hans Christian An dersen sat as a youth and dreamed the dreams he afterwards put into some of the worlds greatest fairy stories.
 Yesterday was the 125th anniver- sary of Andersen's birth, and a be- lated tribute to his flights into make believe land was begun with the dedication of a beautiful new me- morial hall here. Today there will be an elaborate pageant where one of Andersens stories will be repro duced. But amid the pomp and cere- mony, the thoughts of countless thousands turned to The Little Match Girl"
 They remembered with what in- finite tenderness this dreamer, who himself was born in the one-room shack of poor shoemaker, had portrayed the mistreated little suf- ferer. Years ago perhaps they had shed tears over the child's futile at tempts to seek shelter from the cold: how she burned matches and saw visions of food a Christmas tree and finally how she lighted all that remained in her box to keep the image of her dead grandmother from departing.
 Millions of children and grown ups remember the trip of the one legged Hardy Tin Soldier" through the gutter where he was pursued by a rat and later swallowed by a, fish only to be returned to his original home to worship again in silence his beautiful princess, Later he is cast into a stove and burned and among the ashes is found his remains melt ed into the form of a tin heart.
 Andersen tried many fields before he found one destined to raise him into the ranks of Denmark's fore most son. He failed at opera singing. classical dancing and afterwards constructed a toy theater and made clothes for his puppets.
 The harbor and streets of Odense were befagged. street cars covered with bunting and the hotels packed with visitors as the festival opened with street processions and music. The weather was sunshiny.

WOOL MARKET HAS
 SLIM IMPROVEMENT
Half Blood Moves Steadily With
 Mill Buying Moderate

Boston, July 12 (UP)-The wool market is showing a slight day by day improvement and dealers are encouraged owing to the fact that prices are holding up in spite of in coming supplies of domestic wool. Bradstreet's Weekly Review of local trade conditions issued yesterday.
 Mill buying is very moderate but half blood and quarter blood wool is moving more steadily, knitting and weaving mills doing their share of buying" the Review continued. New clip wools is moving actively.
 Sole and upper leather markets are again reported generally quiet with some slight easing in prices noted in offal leather. There has been some improvement in sales of side uppear leather but no general activity in most lines is anticipated until after the shoe style show this week.
 Some slight improvement in shoe production is reported due to dealers stocks being low. Shoe manufactur- CTS are looking for more orders from this source and fall buying be- fore long. Quiet collections prevail among local wholesalers and retail CTS.
 Dry goods jobbers report de- crease in volume of sales and this is also true in the mems furnish inp line The mems c1oth hipp husin ce is quiet. Dress and ladies' suit man. ufacturers report the usual seasonal lull.
 Department store and speciality shop sales are smaller. The whole sale jewelry business is still 20 per cent less than last year and retailers report sales 25 per cent under the corresponding period of 1929. Col lections are fair to slow"

ferred with Dr. Leopold Von Hoesch, German ambassador in Paris, and through an intermediary advised Gottfried Treviranus, Ger man minister of occupied territor- ies, that such Italo- Germanic nego- tions would be viewed with misgiv- ings.
 The Berlin story is a base lie and product of the imagination" the Italian foreign office said. Italy has never proposed that Germany remain neutral in case of a Franco Italian conflict. Frances acceptance of Premier MussoIini's proposal of q naval holiday is the most glaring proof of Italy's desire to maintain the most friendly relations with France
 llakes Emphatic Denial
 Paris was equally emphatic in denying that conversations were held between Loucheur and Won Hoesch regarding the negotiations. The Cuai D'-Orsay described the re- port as "a ridiculous fantasy and another hot weather yarn.'
 Unofficial quarters in Paris also doubted the possibility of Loucheur's participation in such conversations. It was pointed out that Loucheur was not connected with the present French government, and has been out of the bitterest enemies of Premier Andre Tardieu since he lost his cabinet portfolio.
 In Berlin. it was said the Loucheur Eon Hoesch conversations were broken off only this week due to the tension arising from persecution of the Rhineland separatists.
 Berlin regarded the clandestine manner in which Mussolini made the purported overtures as due to Italys inability to pay Germany the price required for her neutrality.
 Tke fact remains. however, that German and Italian relations are becoming increasingly closer, and the French government is observing all developments with growing un- easiness.

DENY REQUESTING
 REICH NEUTRALITY
Paris and Rome DiSaYoW Ap- proach RumOred in Germany

London, July l2 UP)-Emphatic denials have been issued by the Ital- ian and French governments that Italy was seeking German assurance of neutrality in the event of Franco-Italian conflict. and that France had warned Germany such negotiations were viewed with mis- givings.
 The report of the negotiations be- tween Italy and Germany, and the resulting conversations between France and Germany. emanated from a high German authority in Berlin.
 Despite the strongly worded de- nunciation of the report in Rome interest in European political quar- ters today in view of the recent mili- taristic declarations of Premier Beni- to Mussolini, and the failure of Italy and France so far to reach an agree ment on respective naval strength.
 The Berlin source said that Mus solini, through Italian naval and military attaches Tn Berlin. had un- officially" approached Germany with a proposal that the German govern ment pledge its neutrality in case of q conflict between the two countries.
 According to this source, the pro- posals were made in such circum spect manner that Mussolini left himself way open to deny they had been made, if the story leaked out.
 France, it was added, learned of the Italian negotiations, and Pierre De Margerie, French ambassador to Germany. called on Foreign Minister Julius Curtius and informed him that such a move aroused misgivings in France regarding Franco-German friendship.
 At the same time Louis Loucheur, former French cabinet officer, con-

Chicago Publishers Determined To Run Down Every Rumor About
 Newspapermen's Racketeering

John A. Swanson would agree not to question the reporter privately first. Taylor did not want to run the risk Of having Swanson hear Brundidge's story, brand it flimsy, and then refuse to take him before the grand jurors. Swanson replied that a personal interview was im- perative as part of the legal proce- dure. Thus the editor and the states attorney reached an impasse.
 But the Chicago papers are urging and accept Brundidge on lis own terms. It is likely that he may yet have a chance to give to the grand jury the names of the report CTS he has accused as racketeers.

the documents in confidence, II
delivered by the President.
Hale to Attack
The battle over the secret docu-

treaty itself, although Senator
Hale (R.) Of Maine. chairman
of the Senate Naval Affairs Com
