JURY
SELECTED

Alfred Scott Aldridge, colored
23-year-old alleged slayer of Po-
liceman Harry J. Mcdonald
today went on trial for his life
a third time before a Criminal
Court jury.
Aldridge was convicted a year
ago and sentenced to die in the
electric chair, but Attorney James
F.. Reilly obtained a new trial iE
the United States Supreme Court
on grounds that Aldridge's rights
were prejudiced because the trial
justice refused to ask the jurors
if the fact that the defendant
was a colored man charged with
killing white man would affect
their verdict.
The alleged slayer was first
placed on trial in January, 1880,
but the jury disagreed.
In qualifying the jury in the
present trial. Justice PeytOn Cor
don, who is presiding. asked each
juror if racial prejudice would in
fluence his verdict, but received a
negative reply to each query. The
jury was qualified out of the first
rs taleSmen to be called.
Assistant United States Attor-
neyS Walter M. Shea and John J.
Sirica are conducting the proSacu-
ton. In making the opening ad-
dress to the jury, Shea said that
the Government would prove that
Policeman Harry j. Mcdonald was
shot fatally by the defendant on
July s, 1929. at Seventeenth and
@ Streets Northwest, after he had
arrested the defendant and his
brother in the act of breaking
into a drug store.

PARLIAMENT
MUST GIVE
APPROVAL
FIRST
BRAND Proposes Germany
Continue Payment Of Nom
PostponabIe Reparations

PARIS, June % GN.SJ-An
indication that the French cabi'
net intends to ask Parliament
for authority to accept the debt
moratorium proposal Of Presi-
dent Hoover was given the Inter
national News Service today by
Premier Pierre Laval. He stated:
I'VE cannot consent to any
modification of the Young plan
without authorization of Parlia-
ment."
This was interpreted to mean
that, subject to Parliament's ap-
proval, the government was con-
sidering acceptance of the Hoover
proposal, as modification of the
Young plan would be involved
only if France accepted a post
ponement of the unconditional
payments" from Germany, which
under the Young plan for repara-
tions are non-poStponable.
BRAND Substitute Plan
This belief was further strength
ened by reports Immediately fol-
lowing the meeting of the full
cabinet under the chairmanShip
of President Paul DOumer, at
which the Hoover proposal was
discussed, that NJ. BRAND, French
foreign minister, was studying q
plan which would represent an
improvement" over the Hoover
proposal.
Brands tentative plan, it was
said, would involve a continuation
of Germany's payment of the
"non-poStponable" reparations into
the Bank for International Set
Elements at Basle, with the pro-
viso that neither France nor any
other country would withdraw
these credits until after the
breathing SPELL had passed.
Preparing Draft
Such a plan, it was said, would
insure continuance of the Bank
for International Settlements
which M. BRAND feared might
cease to function if payments
were stopped entirely.
The cabinet is expected to COM
plete the draft of it's reply to the
Hoover proposal tomorrow. Pre-
mier Laval. with M. BRAND, M.
Pietri, minister of the budget; M.
Flandin, minister of finance, and
Francois Poncet we're cloSeted in
the ministry of the interior this
afternoon preparing the draft.
This is expected to be submitted
to parliament possibly tomorrow.
BRAND Gives Long Talk
Todays cabinet session began
with a length address by M.
BRAND.
1t was understood he discussed
the international ramificatiOnS Of
the Hoover proposal, streSsing
the broad results of such a step
as materially aiding the relations
between the nations of Europe.
Then came Pierre Etienne
Flandin, minister of finance, and
Francois Pietrie, minister of the
budget, both of whom explained
the consequences of the Hoover
move upon the financial struc-
ture of France.

SLOW TO CHANGE
NAMES OF CITIES
Americans Not Prone to Make
Alterations.

Since the nonstop aviators from
this country landed by the Golden
Horn it has dawned on most Of us
for the first time that the Turks have
been changing the name Of their
great metropolis. We may have
heard of STEAMBOAT, but never
dreamed we would have to say
Istanbul. We learned of it as Con-
stantinople, the name the Romans
gave to what the Greeks called By
zantium, and in our secret thoughts
it probably always will be Constan-
tinople.
After the fall of the Russian mon
archy st. Petersburg became Petro-
grad, only to be later sovietized as
Leningrad, all of which was to be
expected from the mania of the Boil
sheviks for uprooting everything
connected with the old regime.
Then the Norwegians changed the
name of Christiania to Oslo, that Of
the old national capital across the
bay. China followed the fashion,
and when the capital Of the repub-
lie was transferred to Marking, Pc
king became Peiping.
In spite Of our reputation for
change the United States has dis
played a surprising permanence in
this respect. Our urban nomencla-
ture, derived not only from the Eng
lish, the French, the Spanish and
the Indians, but from the classics
and any other stray books that
might have been read by our more
lettered city founders, has persisted
with little modification. Sometimes
the names were difficult Of pronoun-
citation or calculated to inspire lev
lily, but the original christening has
generally held. We might have re-
named New Orleans for Thomas
Jefferson or st. Augustine for An
drew Jackson, as the English altered
the name of New Amsterdam to New
York when they drove out the Dutch.
During the war we even resisted the
patriotic pressure to give the capital
Of North Dakota name less sug-
gestive of Germanism, though we
yielded on the point of sauerkraut, at
least for the duration of hostilities.
| But Bismarck remained Bismarck
and sauerkraut again became sauer.
kraut after spell as "liberty cab
oage." However it may satisfy the ex-
igencies Of nationalism or local poll
tics, we hope for the sake of our
hard-learned store Of geographical
knowledge that other countries, too
will leave their city names as they
are.-New York Herald Tribune.

WOLF CREEK All CLUB

The Wolf Creek All club put on a
dance to earn money to go to. camp
this year. We made $27.00 clear and
spent $500.
We left Wolf Creek about 8 a. m.
Monday morning and arrived at
Brush Lake around 1920 a IN. On
the way we sang and gave yells at
every place we passed.
When we got to Brush Lake we un-
packed, set up cur tents, and went to
the pavilion 70 register. There were
nine girls and ten boys besides 9TH
ers who went with us, thirty three in
| all. We went in swimming while din
ner was being prepared. By the time
we were out and dressed, dinner was
ready so we at and washed u dish
es. The whistle blew then. There were
certain times for certain things. We
were divided in groups, and each
group had to have a stunt, song and
yell and name. Some of the groups
were: Boestrings, Lucky Strikes, e a
fish, All Sparklers, Vikings, HELPS
Angels, Rusty Socialists, Cream of
the West and the Simple Sappy Six.
During swimming hours, swimming
lessons were given and anyone could
learn to swim if they wanted to.
The first night a show was given
from the time the first Mccormick
reaper was made up to the present
time. The second night the stunts
were given and the third day was a
baseball game between the Sheridan
and Roosevelt Club boys.
On the way home we had lots OF
fun hollaring at people until we got
caught in a rain storm. We put a tarp
over us and that helped a great deal
until we got stuck and the boys In
their haste to get out and push hit 1t
so much it was nearly as bad as not
having anything over US. We got
stuck twice and finally had to get out
and walk to French's house. 1t seem
like we were wading in water all the
way to the house. In the kitchen we
were wading in water too because
there were so many coming in out OF
the rain. People said we must have
brought Brush Lake home with us.
