PLAN HITS
FRENCH SNAG

LAUSANNE, June 80 QN.S).
The first big step toward solving
the tangled problem of repara-
tions appeared imminent today.
A special committee of the
Lausanne conference, meeting
under the presidency of Prime
Minister j. Ramsay Macdonald,
agreed as the first measure to
strike the word Preparations"
from common international usage
and substitute in it's stead the
appellation: "Germany's contribu-
ton to the reconstruction of
Europe"
While German delegates con-
firmed their nations willingness
to make a lump settlement to-
ward this reconstruction" if a
definite sum could be agreed
upon. the French placed a new
stumbling block in the way Of
success by raising the spectre Of
all escape clause" if the United
States insists upon payment OF
war debts.
Action of the Macdonald COM
mittee was hailed as an import
ant psychological factor as re-
moving from Germany the stigma
of paying for damages done IN
the World War.

Marriage as punishment for

strange idea embodied in a court
record here today.
Brought before Judge Wood
on the charge of having stolen
gasoline from the automobile

has any punishment coming,
maybe he will get it from his

HARMONY SEEN
IN SPEAKERS
CAUSE
All of His Personal Proposals
Now Incorporated in Demo-
cratic Platform

CHICAGO, June 80 U.N.S.l.
Friends of Speaker John N.
Garner of Texas, renewed
their battle for delegates to-
day with high hopes that
adoption of a wet platform
by the Democratic national
convention will make him its
presidential choice.
The one-sided vote of the con-
vention, Garner hackers said, DIS
closed that the speaker and the
convention are in absolute mar.
mony on the issue Of repeal OF
the Eighteenth Amendment,
Other planks in the platform
which are uncontested and VIII
be accepted also are declared to
be in harmony with the Speakers
record in Congress as the leaolng
House Democrat during the recent
years of Republican rule.
Now in Platform
In a statment issued few days
before the convention Garner en-
phatically opposed cancellation OF
war debts, struck at the RepuD-
lican tariff policy, demanded q
one-third reduction in cost OF GOV"
ernment, assailed reckless high
finance, declared for an adequate
national defense, urged unemploy'
ment relief, sound Federal finance
and a reorganization of the gov
ernment.
All of these proposals, 1t was
pointed out, are incorporated IN
the Democratic platform.
Only in one instance is the
speaker of the National House
apparently at variance with the
platform. He voted against sub
mission of the Eighteenth Amend
ment when it was submitted
and had a stiff battle for re-
election-and has since declared
for repeal. He has made no
statement on modifying Of the
VolStead law.
Battle To Finish
The determination of the big
Texas delegation to carry their
battle for Garner to the end was
evidenced in last nights struggle
in the convention.
In its first caucus the Texas
delegation, as a result of action
by it's State convention. voted for
straight resubmission, but then
changed and supported repeal to
be in entire harmony with the
speaker. This remarkable loyalty
of the delegation brought cheers
from the convention.
The Calf ornia delegation,
which is supporting Garner, also
cast a majority vote for the re-
peal amendment.
The campaign for Garner,
however, is not being based on
the prohibition issue.
Based on Record
The captains of the Garner
movement maintain that his long
record in Congress, his consistent
fight for Democratic principles
and the record that he has made
as Speaker of the House entitle
him to consideration.
Friends of the Speaker, it was.
disclosed, are divided as to
whether he should accept the
vice presidential nomination If
rendered.

other winter to achieve what he had failed to
do the last winter. His wife and child and
the rest of the party returned to the states.
From Eskimo neighbors he got four volunteers
and increased his dog pack to GO; with
these and his two companions he started across
again. The third day out one of the Eskmos

continued His cache Of the preceding winter

starvation. Almost exhausted he reached camp
June 25. Having achieved his objective, he re-
turned to the states on the relief ship which
came for him a month later.
In 1898 he was back for a four-year attempt
for the pole. He put his ship in for the win
ter near Cape Sabine, just south of Greely's
tragic camp. Through ice foes and crevasses
he followed the coast, sending Eskimos and
men back as they became exhausted or in
jured, finally on January reaching Greely's
observatory on Lady Franklin Bay. On Feb
ruary 1S, 1S99 they were back at the Ship 1t
was found necessary to amputate seven of the
commanders toes which had been frozen and
further exploration that summer was aban-
doned. In March 1900. he moved up to Fort
Conger, making all along the coast caches of
food against a forced retreat. On April Is. he
crossed the ice with his faithful negro servant
Henson who accompanied him every ex-
pedition, and five Eskimos to the Greenland
coast. and pushed north on sledges

Undaunted, he renewed his attempt In 1905
Again at 81 :36 in Grant Land he came across
the open lead and for six days unable 10

a dash TO cross the lead. Most of the sledges

So IL a storm of snow held them up inactive

ly drifted some 20 miles southwark.
On April 81 they had reached SIG, a new
farthest north; realizing the foolhardiness Of
further advance, Peary faced south for the re-
turn to camp.
His final expedition came in 1908 Accom-
panied by IL scientists ice experts and Matt
Henson, his faithful servant, he returned to the
base on Grant Land On March l. with a great
ice army of men II EskmOs, 1873 dogs and
10 sedges. in two divisions under himself and
Captain Bartlett he started straight out over
the ice. They made good speed to the north
until the opening of the spring season began to
make the pack disintegrate. AS men became
exhausted or incapacitated from frost, Peary
sent them back. AS provisions became lower,
more of the party were sent back, in order to
enable those remaining to continue BY March
81. with less than 14O miles between him and
the pole, Peary was alone with his negro, Hen
son, and four Eskimos. In forced marches, feed
ing full rations and pushing forward as rapidly
as possible, he found himself on the morning
of April at 50 :5T-less than three miles from
his goal. few hours later he was at the
point where it was south no matter where he
looked.
At the spot where his observations determined
the North pole to be Peary planted the Amer
lean flag given him by his wife fifteen years
before for that purpose. The colors of his cal
Red Cross were added and records of the event
left. Thirty hours were consumed in observa-
tions, rest and preparations for the hazardous
journey back.
But when Peary returned to civilization to
reap the rewards of his achievement, it was
to find that he had bitter controversy on his
hands. DR.. Frederick Cook, who had accom-
panied previous Peary expeditions as surgeon,
had claimed that he had reached the pole on
April 21, 1908, ten months before Peary. At
first Cooks claims were accepted by scientists
then rejected as insufficiently proved. Peary's
data were accepted by the National Geogra phic
society as positive proof that he had reached
the pole. Later from other sources recogni-
ton came to Peary-medals from learned soci-
cites, the acclaim of rulers and scientists, a
pension and the rank of rear admiral from his
own country. When he died on February 90
1920 the world joined in honoring his memory
and now - years later his name is heard
again throughout the world as those who knew
him and loved him best prepare to pay the fit

beacon to ships which come that far into the
Arctic regions This monument will be a memo
rial TO one of the greatest Arctic explorers in
history, the who first reached the North
Pole, Admiral Robert E. Peary of the United
States navy.
The story of Peary's career and his final at
tainment of the North pole the goal of explor-
ers from every nation for centuries is the story
of an heroic American to whom there was lit
orally mo such word as failure" More than
that, he has justly been called 1.-THE first per-
feet Arctic scientist" for in his preparations
for his Polar expeditions he never left any
thing TO chance
While still a student in Bowdoin college Peary
became interested in the Arctic regions and
took well planned course In Arctic geography,
polar science and detetics. His civil engineer
degree from Bowdoin had been the result of
carefully planned course to fit himself for polar
exploration. He applied and was given COM
mission in the navy in 1881 and during his tour
of duty in Central America spent all his leisure
studying further in polar navigation In 1886
he secured leave OF absence to test out his
theoretical knowledge by short trip to Green
land.
His next trip 1891, was such another recon-
naissance of the ice cap. He went north up
the Greenland coast to within a few miles of
Elisha Kent Kane's old base and proceeded with
three companions on Sledge trip across the
island AT a point 100 miles from camp. he
sent two companies back. they having fulfilled
their mission of carrying reserve food for the
two who were to make the final dash. He COM
pleted the overland journey on July 4, 1892,
scaled a cliff 1000 feet high to get down to
the sea, making on the outward journey nearly
GOO miles, a record for sucn exploration. In
returning to camp he struck directly across
the island, reaching altitude of 5000 feet
and travelling 500 miles.
In 1898, accompanied by his wife, he returned
to a location just north of the great glacier
that had defeated Kane. II was at this camp
that, 'on September Il, his daughter was born.
On March g. 1894, Peary started inland
across the ice again with eight men and nine
ty-two dogs. At an elevation of $500 feet and
134 miles from camp, he snowbound; his
dogs began dying, and his men frost
bitten A general advance manifestly i'm
possible; so caching his reserve stores and
sending back the disabled men, he pushed on
indoUlitably with only three companions. In
fourteen days thereafter he made only eighty
five miles; to try further was inviting catas-
trophe and so he retreated to camp arriving
with only 26 of his original 90 dogs.
When the relief ship came for him during
the summer, he decided, in spite of his short
supplies, to remain with two volunteers an

THOSE WE LOVE- AND BIRD OF PARADISE CLOSING AT STRAND; VAUDEVILLE TO START TOMORROW

Performances this evening con- clude the engagement, at Warmers Strand, of two very excellent fea- ture pictures. Those We Love" starring Mary Astor, Lilyan Tash- man and Kenenth MacKenna, also Bird of Paradise" Richard Wal ton Tully's, immortal romance of the South Seas, starring Dolores Del Rio and Joel McCrea.
 Tomorrow brings another great seven act stage show. Bigger and better than those of the two previ- ous weeks and chock full of pleas ant surprises for local vaudeville lovers. As in the past two weeks there will be three stage presenta- tions daily at 800, 6:00 and 9:00.
 The feature picture on this pro- gram, "The Crooked Circle" stars Ben Lyon, Zasu Pitts, James Glea- son and Irene Purcell.
 It starts out with the mysterious atmosphere of "shocker," then has a tendency toward crook drama and suddenly becomes blithesome comedy. Before the merriment gets well under way, however, mysterious incidents in- ject themselves into the plot which gets more baffling as it progresses.
 Ralph Spence, author of "The Gorilla" another mystery comedy classic, is author of the story which is cleverly conceived with view for providing entertainment and exciting film fare. The chill ing and thrilling moments are clev- erly balanced withthe comedy re- lief and with swift, dramatic action in such manner as to keep the in- terest at a high pitch throughout.

Newark-However pleasant may be the kiss of Charles Spencer Chaplin, the glare of the conse- quent spotlight is such as to incline one attractive girl to stick to Vic- torian curtsies in the future.
 This Paulette Goddard, platinum beauty, whose Chaplin-kiss has smacked over the nation, has dis covered. Today Miss Goddard hides behind her maids apron whenever a phone rings or caller appears in the lobby of the swanky New York hotel where she has taken a suite.
 It has, in fact, caused her to rush back to work in music revues to sign contracts and temporar- fly to renounce Holywood-so she says.
 Rumors Threaten Frinedship
 And it's because I want to kill once and for all the silly and un- true stories that have been going around about my marriage to MT Chaplin" she says. why if they keep up, it will ruin beautiful friendship!
 "What will he think ?-what can he think? It's so embar- rassing! I probably couldn't be seen in public with him without more gossip of a wedding. So I've signed up with George White for his next revue-and that should convince everyone that I'm going to work right here in New York; that I'm not going to get married"
 Not that Miss Goddard can hon. estly say that she regrets having been kissed by Chaplin. But oh what it started!
 Out came a theatrical paper with tale that she was in Man haitian to get her wedding trous- seau for an October marriage! Whereupon came hundreds of calls from shoppes trying to get her to buy the wedding dress!
 Out came a catty comment that Chaplin didn't even miss her and gave his attentions to Marlene Dietrich. Out came a dozen-and- one varied stories-each one of which Miss Goddard denies. Yet each one has put phone calls, pests, salesmen, newspaper writers, cam eramen and a large parade of oth- CTS on her trail.
 Oh, That Kiss!
 She feels she is watched wher- ever she moves. If she goes out to night resort with another com- panion-she quakes in contempla- tion of paragraphs which might brand her untrue to Charlie"
 And all because of a farewell kiss which happened to be seen.
 Miss Goddard, while a stage fig ure, was relatively unknown to the public until the epochal kiss. Five years ago she appeared at chorus call for Ziegfeld beauties.
 q went to work because I had to make my living, and the stage seemed to offer the best opportun- ity," she explained. "I had a mother to support, and still do."
 For two years she was glori- fled grille and then married a
