VON PAPEN DENIES PLAN To
RESTORE KAISER To POWER
Asserts No Basis For Belief Hitler Govern
ment Has Restoration Of Monarchy In
Mind AS Essential For Germany.

terpret the coming into power of
the new government, and what
in your opinion will be the effects
Of its advent on Germany's politi-
cal, economic and cultural future?'
he was asked.
THE present cabinet he replied,
represents a unification CT all the
influential forces Of patriotic
minded Germany, with the aim of
leading the nation out of fruitless
conflicts to internal unity, and
thereby to its recuperation.
"This recuperation is a prelimi-
nary step to any political, econ
cmic and cultural development and
therefore also is necessary in order
to overcome the economic depres-
sion"
What influence the formation
of the new government will have
on Germany's economic power and
her financial situation will also af-
ford a reinforced basis for the
maintenance of sensible develop
ment of our relations with the rest
of the world"
Does the change in government
justify the assumption that there
will be a change in the foreign
policy of the reich?"
THE retention of Herr Won
Neurath and the fact that I myself
re-entered the government may
serve as an unequivocal answer to
this question. The fact that the
German nation is united on Ger
manys foreign policy has been evi-
cent to the whole world for some
time"
How does the government pro-
pose to relieve unemployment?'
"The government has decided to
relieve unemployment in every pos
sible way But the problem is SO
complex it seems impossible to talk
about measures against unemploy-
ment in the form of a short inter
view"

FR|SBEY THEFT
CASE DROPPED

On the grounds that evidence is
SO insufficient as to render ver-
dict of guilty very uncertain and

California fruit ranch, died in Ro-
gers Park hotel today while he
tried in vain to get help from his

Davis telephoned his former wife,
Mrs. Ruth Davis, at p. M, yes
terday, she told police. AT that
time, she said he was affable and
in good spirits. Early today, how
ever, he called again, mumbling
unintelligibly, and Mrs. Davis
thought him drunk. Police believe
Davis was then in his death throes
and was seeking aid from Mrs. Da-
Wis.
Davis fell away from the tele-
phone, leaving the instrument off
the hook. This brought the hotel
clerk, Thomas Ross, hurrying up
tc the room. Davis was near death
and the efforts of the hotel physi-
clan failed to save him.
Folice learned Davis was the son
of former vice president of the
American Steel Foundry company.
His present wife is in Vista, Calf,
the site of the Davis ranch, and
his mother is in Albuquerque, N,
M, awaiting an operation.

YUST because you can't pack your
duds and scuttle of to the sea-
shore or the mountains when the
~ thermometer first scars, don't
think you can't enjoy vacation
weather at home. There's no reason
why you can't AK up cool retreat on
your back or front porch that will give
you constant pleasure. It's merely a
matter Of combining cool colors with
comfort.
In selecting a color scheme for your
porch furniture, it's important, OF course,
to consider the colors that are COM
bined on the outside of your house-the
roof, the body of the dwelling, the trim
and the awnings.
Paint and Trimmings.
Let's say your house is of clapboard
which is painted ivory and trimmed with
smooth blue-green. The roof is of
gray and so is the porch floor. The
awnings have stripes of blue, green and
black in them Why not paint your
porch furniture in soft, creamy yellow
and trim it with narrow black line?
Or, you might paint the furniture white,
trim it with blue-green, apply a floral
design to the backs of the chairs, with
decalcomania transfers, and then use
yellow cushions and table covers.
But perhaps your home Is Of dark,
hot-looking red brick and the trim is Of
deep. reddish brown. Then your prob
lem is to find color for your porch
furniture that is cool, but that Is not
out Of key with the rest Of the picture.
Soft Buff and Pale Green.
Try a soft buff, trimmed with pale
green. Delicately colored howered chintz
will suggest a garden II used for
cushions Ornamental wrought iron
stands containing vines, or IVY will help,
too. II your fiber porch rug Is a bit
dilapidated in appearance, give 1t two

HOME LOAN
CREDIT TO CAPITAL
Fewer Applicants For Aid
Than in Other Parts of
Country, in Recovery.

Citing this weeks report Of Charles
A. Jones, District manager for the
Home Owners Loan Corporation, which
showed fewer applications for aid from
distressed home owners here as COM
pared with other parts of the country,
the Washington Real Estate Board
pointed out today that the Capital IS
"a full lap ahead of any other munich
pality of its class in the matter OF re-
covery."
The statement of the board, in part.
follows:
THE appearance of mobs of Distress
ed home owners was anticipated with
the opening of the Home Loan Corpo-
ration office. The mobs appeared, but
they were made up largely of job
seekers.
There Is no intent to deny that
there were and are plenty OF distressed
home owners. The fact remains, how
ever, that at last reports there were
only 416 qualified applicants for home
finance relief in the city.
60 Foreclosures Averted.
"In the two weeks of its existence the
Home Owners Loan Corporation avert
ed foreclosure on some 60 mortgages, it
has been reported. This, in itself,
although foreclosures go on daily, is a
distinct achievement. Here, we believe,
is evidence that the District is favored
above all other commonwealths in this
reconstruction era. Moreover, reduc-
tions from the Federal service have vlr-
tually ceased, the employment Of out
side help to conduct governmental and
private enterprises grows daily, costs OF
maintaining destitute families decrease,
the city has whole-heartedly accepted
the N. R. A.. extending employment to
thousands of formerly idle persons,
prices rise all along the line and espe-
cially in the market for building ma
terials and there are no labor troubles
or other industrial woes. The city ap-
pears set for period Of extraordinary
! prosperity.
Real estate values, under some un-
merciful pounding, have shown sur
prising strength. Real estate securities
have re-established themselves in
leadership The values of F street busi-
ness properties are, for example, higher
today than they were in 1926.
Other Properties Strong.

properties in many other sections of the
city, and for residential properties as
! well. Several Office buildings are re-
ported 100 per cent rented. Several
nearby business buildings are for the
| first time in several years returning a
profit In rentals. Apartment houses,
! which in ordinary years would be de-
serted at this season are reporting rent
ais brisk. Hotels of the better class
are overfowing and retail stores report
unusual activity for this period of the
year.
Investment in real estate securities
continues slow, but there is improve
ment. 1t Is anticipated that the Sc
] curities act will help to re-establish a
stable market for such investment and
that by early Autumn the demand will
| be brisk"
