ton and interesting work in design-a
homely subject well rendered and with touch
of pathos, of kindly sympathy.
These purchases will undoubtedly lend
strength to the Corcoran Gallery's growing coll
lection of American art.
THE Phillips Memorial Gallery. the Corcoran
Gallery Of Art and the National Gallery
in this city have all contributed to the exhibit
ton OF American Painting and Sculpture
1862 to 1882" which opened in the Museum of
Modern Art, New York, October 81, to continue
through January 81 This Is cne of the most
Interesting and notable exhibitions Of American
art yet held.
To the exhibition the Louvre has lent whis-
tiers superb portrait of his mother. which, by
the way, is beautifully hung and fully convinc-
ing. With it are shown notable works by
George Bellows Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins,
Frank Duyeneck Winslow Homer George
Innes. John La Fargo, Luks. Sloan, Prender-
gast, Ryder, John Sargent, Speicher, Thayer,
Twachtman, Weir, Wyant and others. And
how dignified and superior they SEEM how es-
sentially modern in their directness and
strength How thin and insignificant the works
of the so-called 'mo6ernis-s," few of which
are hung side by side, appear in such COM
pany! With such works to turn back to and
as measures of merit, what need is there to
fear for the future of American art? Whether
or not taste varies and ideals change, we may
be certain that only those works of art which
in some form CT other possess elemental beauty
win eventually endure.

PARIS July 14-The text of the
-gentlemen's agreement" entered into
at Lausanne by European nations is rs
follows:
The Lausanne agreement will not
definitely 20 into force until after the
notifications foreseen in those accords.
Concerning the creditor governments
in whose name this proceS-verbal Is
initiated, ratification will not be ef-
fected before satisfactory settlement
is obtained between them and their
own creditors.
They will have every liberty to ex-
plain their position to their respective
Parliaments. but no precise reference
to the present arrangement will appear
in the text of the accord with Ger
many.
IF it follows that satisfactory set
tlement of their own debts is obtained,
the governments OF the above-named
creditor countries will proceed to rati-
fication. and the accord with Germany
will take its full effect.
But in case the settlement in ques-
ton cannot be obtained, the accord
with Germany will not be ratified,
New situations will thus be created
and the interested governments will
have to agree on what they should do.
In this eventuality the legal position

SURROUND SAC PAULO.
Brazil Troops Sure Revolt Will Be
Quickly Crushed.

RIO DE JANEIRO. July IA (P).-The
Brazilian government today had bottled
the Sac Paulo revolt within the borders
of that state and it proceeded imme-
diately to follow up its advantage by
mobilizing men, money and munitions
to complete the task of putting the
rebellion down.
= Confidence was expressed that this
would be accomplished in days instead
of weeks. A credit OF 81 500 900 was
decreed to meet the expense Of the
campaign.
There was feeling in some quarters
however. that unless the rebels. who
3 nave constituted themselves the con
stitutionalist army" are disposed to
4rbitrate the trouble may continue for
several weeks.
The government announced that Sac
oaulo, which is as big as Iowa and
Illinois together. was being attacked on
all sides by troops from the states of
Minas CeraeS. Parana, Rio de JaneirO
and even Matto Crosse, which was re-
ported siding with the rebels.
The navy had blockaded the Seacoast,
including the principal Sac Paulo port,
Santos, which is the greatest coffee port
r In the world In previous revolts in
Sac Paulo, however. flank attacks have
rarely been successful. The most effec-
tive invaSions having been made along
she Rio &c Janeiro Railway from the
northwest.
In the meantime. however, land
locked Rio was deprived of important
meat. vegetable and other supplies for
which it depends on Sac Paulo.
The armed strength of Sac Paulo is
calculated to be as great as all the rest
: Of Brazil.

lowing statement in connection with
the closures:
Upon examinations of the Irterna-
tlonal Exchange Bank Fifth and II

tons have revealed they are insolvent. I

consented without assuming actual
management Of the ordinary banking
business which was left to F. P Will
llams, who vas appointed controller Of
the bank on the suggestion of the con-
troller of the currency
We found that many loans which
could not be considered good were car
ried in the assets and that a very large
sum was invested indirectly in tgo
apartment hou,es We worked diligently
to straighten things out and got the
apa- -'tment house matters into better
shape, although frozen. No losses were
incurred since last October but We
made little progress in collecting on the
DID loans We considered bad. AS a re-
suit We saw little prospect of being
able to continue and thought closing Of
the bank the best for the depositors."

"Centlemen's Agreement"
Text of Much-Discussed Secret Agreement Entered
Into at Lausanne by European
Nations Is Published.
The agreement Is dated at Lausanne

TIE agreement Is dated at Lausanne,
In connection with the agreement
there was a covering letter by Neville
Chamberlln, British chancellor OF the
exchequer, to the government of
France.
1t read:
THE government OF the United
II 1t would have been possible to cancel
scheme OF cancellation Of war debts
and reparstions
In the present circumstances, 1t re-
grets not to be able to take any def
mite measure modifying the agreement
on war debts funding or Franco-Brit-
ish war debts.
However, 1t agrees that the suspen-
sion foreseen by the declaration Of June
is applies to the annuities owing un-
der the terms Of war debts funding and
under the terms of Annex No. Of The
Hague agreement Of August 81, 1929,
until the coming into force OF the
Lausanne agreement, or until 1t has
been decided not to ratify the latter
agreement.
In the eventuality of non-ratifica-
ton Of the Lausanne agreement the
legal position Of all interested govern

again become that which existed under
the terms Of The Hague agreement OF
January 20, 1880, and the accord on

In this case the British and French
governments will have to examine the

NORRIS CR|T|C|zES
ELECTRICITY RATES
Washington Consumers Pay
ing More Than They
Should, He Declares.

While the Senate was considering a
motion today to take up the District
street railway merger resolution. Sem
ator Norris, Republican. of Nebraska,
declared the people of Washington are
paying more for electricity than they
ought to pay because the Potomac Elec-
tric Power Co. furnishes current to the
Washington Railway & Electric Co. at
a preferential rate.
Senator Norris touched briefly on
local public utility matters in the
course Of lengthy speech on national
failure of public utility operation and
management.
Senator Norris declared that the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. is a subsidiary
of the North American Co. Norris said
the North American Co. owns the
Washington Railway & Electric Co,
which, in turn, owns the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co.
He described the Washington Railway
e. Electric as child" and the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. as grand
child of the North American Co.
Criticizes Rates Charged.
"The grandchild he said, sells 20
the child the electricity at lower cost
than it sells the electricity to anybody
else. In addition to selling to the W.
r & E., it sells to all the people of
Washington, but the w. R. a. E. is a
preferred customer. 1t does not re-
quire a deep study of mathematics to
see that the people of Washington are
paying more for their electricity than
they ought to pay because very large
portion of the electricity manufactured
is sold to a preferred customer
Senator Norris said he know it would
be said that Washington is getting
cheaper electricity than in other places,
If the rates be compared.
He was arguing against holding COM
panies and subsidiaries in the public
utility field and referred to the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. as another in
stance of holding companies in the Dis
trict. He reviewed the history Of pro-
ceedings before the local commission
during the past year regarding owner
ship of the gas company.
Austin to Press Merger.
A last effort to get action on the
merger resolution before Congress ad-
journs was to be made in the Senate
by Senator Austin, Republican, of Yer
mont. The resolution has passed the
House, but differences of opinion on the
terms of the proposal have prevented
Senate action.
Senator Austin made a motion yes
terday afternoon to take up the merger
plan, which was the pending question
when q recess was taken rntil today.
The motion is debatabie, however. and
there probably will be considerable dis
cussion before any action is taken.
Senator P.aine, Republican. of Wis
consin, who with Chairman Capper,
filed a minority report against the plan
of merger as agreed upon by major
ity of the committee. told the Senate
yesterday there are many amendments
pending to he considered In response
to . question by Senator McKellar.

GLASS RESOLUTION
ASKS DRY REPEAL
Virginian's Proposal Offered
ito Test Sincerity of
Republicans"

Repeal of the eighteenth amendment
and State control of liquor distribution
with outlawing of the saloon were pro-
posed in a resolution for new con-
stitutlonal amendment introduced yes
terday by Senator Carter Glass, Demo-
crat Of Virginia.
For years Senator Glass has been one
OF the leading congressional supporters
of prohibition.
The former Democratic Secretary of
tie Treasury asked for immediate con-
sideration of his proposal, but this was
blocked by Senator Norris, Republican,
of Nebraska. Glass then said he would
call it up sgain.
Would Ban Saloon.
The constitutional amendment pro-
posed by the Virginian would allow
States that want liquor to have it. but
would keep the saloon unconstitutional.
1t also would prohibit transportation
OF liquor into States where it was for
bidden.
The amendment would have to be
ratified by State conventions within
seven years or 1t would die.
Glass told the Senate his amendment
was In conformity with the prohibi-
tion plank adopted by the Democratic
National Convention and was 'propo-
Sition which no Republican who is dis
posed to be guided by party declara-
| tlonS can resent or resist"
Senator Norris, however. objecting to
It's immediate consideration, said:
Il can hardly understand how any
one would favor amending the United
States Constitution by unanimous con-
sent"
Glass replied he would call the reso-
luton up later to test the good faith
and sincerity of the Senator from Con-
necticut (Binghamp and other Repub-
licanS who have engaged in testing the
sincerity of the Democratic party"
Not Committed to Repeal.
Of the floor later, Glass said his
amendment would permit the sale OF
liquor in hotels and restaurants unless
State laws interfered He said intro
duction Of the resolution did not COM
init him to repeal and added: i am
merely submitting the question"
Another attempt to obtain action on
repeal resolution was then made by
Senator Bulkley, Democrat, of Ohio,
who asked a vote on taking from the
Judiciary Committee the repeal resolu-
tion introduced by Senator Wagner,
Democrat of New York. Norris, chair
man of that committee, objected to this
request also.
Then Senator Ashurst, Democrat. OF
Arizona, also a supporter of the pro-
hibition laws, lauded the Glass amend
ment as "an honest, real and sub
stantial effort to carry out tn" pla,-
form adopted by the Democratic party
in Chicago" and "as near an approach
to the Republican platform Is an In
telligent man ckn set"
Evening star., 1932-07-14

Democrat, of Tennessee. Blaine said he
regarded the merger resolution as too
important and too complicated to be
considered in the closing hours of The
session.
Senator Copeland of New York, one
of the supporters of the plan. said it
was not the fault of advocates of the
legislation that 1t was not considered
earlier, pointing out that it has been
on the calendar for some time.
Senator McKellar wanted to know
II the resolution provided for lover
rate of fare in return for the privilege
OF merging. and when Senator Blaine
replied in the negative. McKellar said
he did not see why there should b
merger under those circumstances.
