in the conspiracy should not be taken seriously. When the Hungarian counterfeiting conspiracy was first discovered it was declared that the forgery of American dollars had also been contemplated by the plotters. BOY THIEF SPARES HOME OF MARSHAL JOFFRE A military reputation is valuable these days, the confession of a nine-year-old Paris thief proves today. Paul Buteux, under suspicion, admits that he robbed the apartment house at 115, Rue de la Pompe, some months ago. He stole from all the apartments in the building except that of Marshal Joffre, who resides at that address. The thief knew the apartment of Marshal Joffre, but spared it either through fear or admiration. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME Belgium having fixed April 17 as the day when daylight saving time is to become effective, it is expected that France and England will follow suit, since these three countries have now agreed to change time on the same date. A decree was submitted today to the President of the French Republic for nature, so that at midnight, the third Saturday in April, all France will set ahead one hour. MEXICO MAKES NEW PAYMENT NEW YORK, Thursday.—The second payment of $416,000 has been made by Mexico in the settlement of her foreign debt of $500,000,000. The first payment was made on January 24. The payments are being made under an agreement signed with the International Committee of Bankers in modification of the Huerta-Lamont accord. (VIENNA, Thursday.—) After the presentation yesterday of the majority report, on the counterfeiting plot to the Hungarian Chamber in Budapest, which naturally removed all suspicion of the Bethlen Government, a minority report was presented by the Opposition. As was to be expected, it condemns the Government for criminal negligence and calls for the immediate resignation of Count Bethlen. The Prime Minister is held responsible and also the Minister of the Interior, "who, if they had performed their duty, could have saved Hungary from her present disgrace." A new Government is demanded, composed of men who are beyond all suspicion of implication in the plot. At a late hour the Chamber voted by a

LADY CATHCART RICH; SOCIETY DROPS HER NEW YORK, Thursday.—The best "press-agented" woman in New York, Vera Countess Cathcart, will soon have a fortune which will compare favorably with the $150,000 which "Red" Grange, the football player, has made since he turned professional. In addition to the flattering motion-picture offer with which she is dealing, Lady Cathcart can make $3,000 a week here indefinitely by becoming the hostess at a night club. It is confidently predicted on all sides that her play, "Asiles," will be an immediate hit as a result of the publicity she derived from her detention on Ellis Island for "moral turpitude." While theatrical and similar enterprises have seized upon Lady Cathcart, society, kindly disposed when she was on Ellis Island, has dropped her. Last night she was the guest of honor at a birthday party given by Mr. Earl Carroll, the theatrical producer. A chorus girl jumped in a bathtub filled with champagne and served it to guests at the party. Barry K. Thaw, the murderer of Stanford White, was one of the guests.

GENERAL PLASTIRAS IN SERBIA: Greek General Discovered with False Passport at Skopje. BELGRADE, Thursday.— General Plastiras, of Greece, the bitter enemy of General Pangalos, the Dictator, has been discovered at Skopje, in South Serbia. He was in hiding and had in his possession a false passport. It appears that he crossed the Greek frontier at the moment when he expected that a coup d'état directed against General Pangalos would prove successful. He then counted upon returning to Athens. Now that the plot has failed, General Plastiras must remain at Skopje where he is under the surveillance of Yugoslav police. CONCORDAT AGAIN DISCUSSED IN ROME ROME, Thursday. — Official circles here are still discussing with interest the letter to Cardinal Gasparri, the Papal Secretary of State, in which Pope Pius XI protests against the proposed reform of Italian law affecting religious denominations. The letter is held here to have made the old problem of relations between Church and State in Italy once again a question of the hour. In this connection, it is being recalled today that Signor Mussolini announces for Fascism a “Napoleonic year” in 1926. One of Napoleon’s most important acts diplomatically was the conclusion of a “Concordat” between France and the then Pope. According to a highly-placed person in the Vatican, who interprets

Smith still insists that he will not be a candidate for re-election in the gubernatorial contest next autumn, he announces this morning that he probably will stump the State in October to plead for his policies—the prevention of power site “grabs” and the abolition of governorship elections during Presidential years. Governor Smith, at Albany, maintains that his contemplated speaking tour has no relation to any possible candidacy. He intends merely to speak for whoever the Democrats nominate for the governorship and in doing so to defend and champion the Smith policies. Nevertheless, politicians here think that there is an even chance that he may decide to seek office once more. The Governor is especially interested in legislation which would place the municipalities of the State and the Commonwealth in general in control of valuable water-power sites for which capitalists are now bidding.

The Governor is now fighting for State and municipal ownership of New York State’s water-power. Mills Is “Menace.” Politicians think that Mr. Smith may be forced to return to the fray next because of the looming Republican candidacy of Representative Ogden L. Mills, the G.O.P.’s “strong man,” whom the Democrats regard as a “menace.” Mr. Mills is much opposed to Governor Smith’s water-power policy. He has said that State ownership of water-power sites will lead eventually either to the communism of Lenin or the dictatorship of Mussolini. Mr. Mills also declared that public ownership of water-power would lead to a return of official corruption because Tammany Hall men would be given control of Government official commissions. Many Democrats believe that the party is without anyone except Governor Smith, who can cope with Mr. Mills in debate. Therefore, these men believe that if their party is to win next Fall, Governor Smith must go into action once more.

While the Christian Bolshevik General’s troops are being attacked in Ho-nan, the Mukden War Lord is creeping down on the Peking district from the North-East. At the same time General Li is marching towards Tientsin from the other direction with the idea of recapturing the Treaty Port of the provinces of which he used to be Governor. Mukden Lord Edges Towards Peking While All Distracts National Army Ousted Governor is Third Menace To be Coped With by Christian Bolshevik Dictator. (Paris Times Radio) WASHINGTON, Friday.—General Wu is attacking the Christian-Bolshevik Dictator’s National Army near the capital city of the Province of Ho-nan, the State Department learns today from Tientsin. The forces faithful to General Feng are in a critical condition. But Wu is supported by men from the neighboring Province of Shantung and also by some of the troops of the Mukden War Lord, Chang, under command of his lieutenant, Chang Tuan-Siang. General Feng has a difficult problem in maneuvering to solve. While his forces are attacked by the anti-Bolsheviks in Ho-nan, he faces danger from two directions nearer to Peking. Refugees from Machang (in Southern Shantung) have reached Tientsin reporting that General Li’s troops are proceeding

Refugees from Machang (in Southern Shantung) have reached Tientsin reporting that General Li’s troops are proceeding through that province. General Li is understood to be marching on Tientsin to recapture the treaty port of Chih-li Province. General Feng ousted him recently as Governor of Chih-li. Meanwhile the Mukden War Lord himself has come down from the mountain passes above Peking. Yesterday he was advancing from Shauhai-kwan on Luan-chow along the line of the Mukden-Peking Railroad. Marshal Chang’s object is the same as that of his ally Wu in Ho-nan— to overthrow General Feng and his Bolshevik Government in Peking. LOADING BOYCOTT TIES UP FIFTY SHIPS IN CANTON CANTON, Thursday. The suspension of the loading and unloading of all ships in this harbor, with the exception of those carrying rice cargoes, is being continued here. There are now more than fifty ships idle.

(Paris Times Radio) NEW YORK, Thursday.—As a result of the sudden end of the coal strike and the concurrent demand of the public for anthracite fuel exclusively, hundreds of dealers throughout the United States are facing ruin this morning. The dealers, when it appeared that the long strike would continue until next summer, purchased 700,000 tons of anthracite substitutes at exceptionally high prices. Now the public refuses to buy anything but anthracite. The situation, brought about to some degree by lack of foresight on the part of the dealers who brought up all possible substitutes at all possible prices during the strike, has caused the bottom to fall out of the bituminous coal market. The public refuses to accept soft coal and the bituminous fields of West Virginia and Kentucky, which virtually kept the nation warm this winter, are threatened with suspension of activity. There are presently 12,000 cars of bituminous coal in railroad yards which cannot be emptied. The dealers have their bins so well stocked with anthracite substitutes that they have no place for the bituminous coal yet unloaded. This complicates the situation still more, as the 12,000 cars are needed to transport fuel from the anthracite fields, once more operating at normal. There are not sufficient cars in the anthracite fields for normal transportation. Warning to Public. Officials of the American cities where the majority of the dealers are in a panic, are making every effort to remedy the situation. In New York, the Commissioner of Public Welfare, Mr.

Officials of the American cities where the majority of the dealers are in a panic, are making every effort to remedy the situation. In New York, the Commissioner of Public Welfare, Mr. Bird S. Celer, has issued an appeal to the public. He asks that at least cooperation be obtained by the burning of half soft and half hard coal. “Unless much of the soft coal now in hand is consumed, a sufficient amount of anthracite to satisfy the public demand cannot be transported here,” says Mr. Coler. A similar situation exists in Boston. There Mayor Malcolm Nichols has appealed to householders to continue to burn soft coal for at least another month. NEW YORK PLAN FOR BUS LINES IS COMPLETED (Paris Times Radio) NEW YORK, Thursday.—The assurance that within a few years New York City will have an omnibus system comparable with those of London, Paris, and Berlin is given today with the announcement of the merger of the New York Railways Company and the Fifth Avenue Coach Company. The New York Railways Company operates the largest number of surface car lines in the City. The Fifth Avenue Coach Company is the corporation which owns and operates the Fifth Avenue buses.

The New York Railways Company operates the largest number of surface car lines in the City. The Fifth Avenue Coach Company is the corporation which owns and operates the Fifth Avenue buses. The substitution of bus lines for surface cars in the city will be carried out rapidly, according to officials of the New York Railways Company. For a long time the railway company has had a large interest in the Fifth Avenue Coach Company. Now that it has become the official holding corporation it will belie its name by shelving surface cars for omnibuses throughout the four boroughs — Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn — in which the company operates at present. Speedy Work Outlined. Some idea of the speed with which the replacement of surface cars by buses is to be made may be gathered from the fact that fifty miles of car track will be torn up within the next ninety days. The railway company has already obtained permission to tear up this track, now little used, within ninety days. Bus lines, according to the terms of official approval, will be instituted at once in the districts affected. Bus fares on the new lines are to be cheap, although they will not be uniformly as low as in the surface cars at present. The short-distance bus lines will have a standard fare of five cents, but all those lines making long hauls will charge ten cents a passenger. This rate is only tentative, however. Official approval has not yet been given. EARTHQUAKE WRECKS TOWN IN AEGEAN SEA ATHENS,

More than six hundred houses were razed by the tremor. Two persons are reported killed. More than three score were injured. SEIZED BRITISH SHIP ORDERED FREED WASHINGTON, Thursday.—United States Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, has ordered the release of the British schooner Wanderer which was seized last autumn nine and a half miles off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico with a cargo of liquor on board. MEXICAN FIRE HOSE COOLS CHURCH RIOTS MEXICO CITY, Thursday.—Only the fear of getting out quieted two religious riots of women in Mexico City yesterday. Women worshippers attacked policemen before the Church of the Holy Family because they thought that they were about to close the church and arrest the priests. In reality the church was closed by order of the priest in charge as a protest against the Government ruling that foreign priests must leave the country. Firemen were called to turn their hose on the crowd and the policemen fired a volley in the air. The women went to the Ministry of the Interior and attempted to demonstrate.
