One Day During First Half

fronting public school officials came
today when Mai. Daniel Donovan, Dis
trict auditor, notified the school finance
office that school employees who took
more than a days leave during the

deducted for that time as furlcCgh pay
Maj. Donovan further said the rs
employees whose names were held of

School finance officials had feared that
persons who took leave in excess of
that provided for by the day-and-a
quarter pay cut for the half-mo1th
salary check would have to lose pay
entirely for the surplus time in addi-
tion to the full furlough pay deduction.
The pay checks for the clerical and
custodial forces were promised for to-
morrow unless the Commissioners de-
eide today to adopt the fve-day week
beginning tomorrow" IN that event
those school employees will not be paid
until Monday.

Third, was afraid that should there
have been any disorder, it would have
been possible for the demonstrators to

1.-The entire plan Of handling the
demonstration was based on a program
of sane and carefully thought out
maneuvers, predicated solely with one
view in mind-protection OF the public
as well as the demonstrators from any
form of violence"
The criticism of Gen. Glassford's
supervision of the demonstration July 5
was one of series of attacks from
several members Of Congress over his
efforts to prevent disorder during the
long period of the bonus encampment.
About a month ago he was threatened
with dismissal as a result of congress

SEARCH WARRANT
VALIDITY ATTACKED
Leonard Hill Asks D. c. Supreme
Court to Suppress Gambling
Raid Evidence.

A formal attack on the validity of
search warrants issued by Brig Gen.
Pelham D. GlaSsford as superintendent
of police was launched today when at
torneys for Leonard Hill asked the Dis
trict Supreme Court to suppress evi-
dence seized during a raid June u On
an alleged gambling establishment in
the 1900 block of Wisconsin avenue.
Assistant United States Attorney
James r. Kirkland will defend the
Glassford warrants if the matter is
reached this afternoon before Justice
F. D. Let's.
Hill, through his counsel, says he
owns the property seized and was in
lawful possession of it, that it has
been held from him unlawfully and is
about to be used against him in the
prosecution of an indictment.
He called the courts attention to
recent decision of the Court of Ap-
peals in which it was declared the
issuing of search warrant is a judi
cial function and may not be by any
but a judicial officer. He pointed out
that the chief of police is not clothed
with judicial powers, and so may not
issue q lawful warrant.
1t may be claimed at the argument

police was repealed by the Espionage
Act, during the World War.

earlier mystery in the family of Libby

Herriot and Envoy Discuss
Pact but Won Papen's
Absence Causes Delay.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 15.-The new Franco
British accord binds Great Britain and
France to stand together on all ques-
tions of war debts, reparations and dis
armament, Henri Beranger, chairman
of the Foreign Affairs Committee OF
the French Senate and former Ambas-
sador to Washington, said today in an
article in the financial newspaper
Agence Economique ct Financiere
No matter what is treated" the
article said, debts, reparationS, dis
armament, security, credits. moneys
production, exchanges, tariffs, trans
ports-in one word, peace and civiliZa-
tion-England and France engage them
selves to prepare joint solutions
This afternoon Premier Herriot talked
over the accord with Ambassador Won
Hoesch of Germany, presumably sug-
geStlng that Germany come in on the
agreement.
Envoy Delays Action.
1t was understood the Ambassador
said he could not commit himself for
the present inasmuch as Chancellor Won
Papen was away from Berlin temporarily
and could not be consulted.
Meanwhile there was no indication
that the government had receded from
Premier Edouard Herriot's interpreta-
tion of the new Franco British accord,
which he has asserted means that
Britain cannot conclude a debt settle
ment with America without first talk
ing things over with France.
An official authorized to speak for
l,e1 Il
abroad that the accord contained a
secret fifth clause directly dealing with
war debts.
Considers Disarmament.
After publication Of the "gentlemen's
agreement" the premier turned from
financial problems connected with the
Lausanne conference to the question
Of disarmament. He studied the text
Of a resolution which the General Com
mittee Of the disarmament conference
has been preparing. He was assisted
by Joseph Paul-Boncour minister of
war; Gen. Gamelin, chief of the gen.
eral staff, and Gen. Maxine Weygand.
The premier will leave for Geneva
Sunday.
Newspapers declared that members
of the Chamber of Deputies generally
were OF the opinion that the Franco
British accord put an end to Frances
isolation. This opinion was based, the
papers said, on the premier's explana-
tion of the agreement before a joint
meeting of the foreign affairs and
finance committees of the Chamber
yesterday. 1t was then that he said
that, under the new instrument, Britain
could not negotiate a debt settlement
with America without consulting Paris
Sees Italian Change.
Some of the deputies. it was said, be-
lieved the accord probably would modify
the attitude of Italy toward France and
thereby counterbalance the policies of
Germany and Russia.
Jacques Bainville well known pub
licist, declared in La Liberte that the
agreement proved the impossibility of
France and Britain becoming separated.
They may have different concep-
tions," he said, but If they become
separated peace will fall into shreds and
one can be sure of nothing. Never will
1t be admitted at London that what
above all else unites England and
France is Germany"

ECONOMY ACT CUTS
MANY ARMY LEAVES
Decision by McCarI Affects
Officers Who Planned
Vacations This Year.

Military personnel of the United
States is subject to restrictions in the
economy act prohibiting leave with pay
during this fiscal year, it was decided
today by Controller General J. R
McCarl. The decision will apply to
many officers who have accumulated
leave and had been hoping this might
be taken this yea-
McCarl answered a question concern
ing this leave in a decision to the
Secretary of War, which was interpreted
/ also as being applicable to officers in
other branches of the service The
Secretary of War pointed out that under
prior law leave with pay was cumulative
for four years.
Many Questions Decided.
Tie Controller General answered a
number of questions concerning ac-
counting procedure for both Secretary
of War and Navy and concerning the
method of computing pay of various
types of employees, including per annum
employees, regular per diem employees
and part-time per diem employees in
other decisions today.
Concerning the operation of the
Military Academy. McCarl held that
If a year of service is less than II
months, due to conditions over which
the officers and employees have no con-
troll, such as the length of the school
year. or a term of court heretofore es-
tablished. and not generally susceptible
to change by administrative action, the
remainder of the period of the year
when no service may be performed IS
not annual leave OF absence within
the meaning of section 103 of The
statute"
He explained that real leaves of alb
sence with pay for such personnel dur
ing a period when service was required,
would be prohibited.
after being commissioned as second
lieutenants, McCarl held, could not be
given their so-called annual leave OF
absence with pay.
Other Leaves Denied.
The controller general also denied the
customary leave of absence with pay.
which had been granted to officers just
prior to their retirement.
EMPLOYEES of the Navy Yards, includ-
not take their leave with pay this fiscal
year, despite the fact that they have a
right to it under specific legislation OF
1916. McCarl held. The economy act
abolishes this right for this year, he
explained.
He followed somewhat his decision in
the Government Printing Office case,
however by explaining further that
whether leave earned during the fiscal
year 1882 may be taken during the
fiscal year 1884, or whether leave may
be earned during the fiscal year 1888,
but not taken until the fiscal year 1884,
are questions which do not involve a
payment under any existing appropria-
ton. and are not properly before me
for decision at this time
McCarl told Attorney General Mitchell
that under the economy act employees
travelling as witness may get only a
per diem of SIS day.
Employees of the Federal Radio Com
mission, who had been accustomed to
getting their vacations only during July
and August, will receive none this year
under the economy act. McCarl held
but are subject to the regular furlough
provisions, without pay.

Roosevelt Called Weak.

The Republicans are picturing Gov.
Roosevelt as weak, vague, and given to

ing his running mate, Speaker Garner,
as undependable and dangerous.
Silently both sides are flirting with
the organized groups of public opinion
on the wet-and-dry issue.
Inc surge OF activity so soon after the
conventions is unprecedented in recent
years. 1t arises from the announced
purpose of the Democrats to lcse no time
and spare no effort. Gov. RooseYelt's s
own pre-convention campaign was con-
quoted on the same basis. beginning
more than a year before the ccnven-
ton Similarly, the Democratic party
headquarters in Washington has broken
precedent by remaining active almost
from election day four years ago.
Already two of President Hoover's
cabinet members have taken to the
stump, although the Presidents own
notification will be delayed until early
August. Secre tary of the Treasury
Mills. speaking in Boston, praised the
Hoover record and asked whether mere
''breast-beating" qualified the Demo-
Gratis to call themselves liberals. Sec
retary OF War Hurley. speaking last
night In Columbus, coupled the word
radical with reference to Roosevelt
and to the Bryan traditions of democ-
racy.
Garner Goads Administration.
While Gov. Roosevelt himself took a
vacation cruise, Speaker Garner
pressed his relief bill, with its pro-
vision for loans to individuals, to the
point of presidential veto, thus es-
tabliShing an issue which the Speaker
hopes TO carry into the campaign He
also lent aid to proposed investigation
of the Treasury. which never ma
terialized, and kept prodding inces-
sanity at other Republican citadels

Meanwhile, an executive order giving
the departmental heads the privilege of

1t was based on a recommendation
from the Council of Personnel Ad-

completed study of methods for ad-
ministering the new furlough plan.
The council, composed of cabinet
officers and other ranking officials,
favored the principle of the short week,
and proposed that 1t be Instituted IN
the Government service where it could
be done without added cost. injury to
the service, constitute handicap to
the employees.
President Hoover let 1t be known late
yesterday that he was in accord with
this principle, feeling that the Federal
Government should take the lead among
large-scale organizations CT the country
in advocating the short-work week.
There are indications the five-day
week will have only a limited applica-
ton, sentiment generally being in favor
of allowing the workers to accumulate
their "payless leave" on the basis OF

Thomas Saunders, a farmer
of near Fair Hill, while out
looking for his turkeys that
had strayed from home, found
the body of Charles E. Lum, So,
on Monday, lying in the yard
of his home. He had evidently
been dead at least two days.
Coroner Frazer, OF Elkton,
was summoned, and after max.
ing an investigation deemed
an inquest unnecessary. A GER
tificate of death from exposure
was given.
The man, who was single,
had been living alone in a. cab
in in that section for several
years. The superstition is that
he had become weak on ac-
count of not eating and while
out gathering fire wood fell and
was unable to get up, perishing
from the cold.

Newark, Del, and a sister, Mrs.
