HOPE TO INCREASE RUHR INDUSTRIES By B. PERSON (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) Copyright, 1923, by I. N. S. DUSSELDORF, Nov. 26. — Negotiations between German industrialists and the Franco-Belgian economic commission to increase production in the Ruhr and to allay labor disorders have been resumed, it was learned today. The allied chiefs are making no secret of the fact they hope the German coal, iron and steel magnates will sign final agreements. Already some agreements have been accepted by the occupational forces and German mine owners. Both the allies and Germans are now haunted by the nightmare of millions of unemployed in the streets, provoked by hunger and cold to bloody rioting and chaos. The chief obstacle in the way of a final agreement was the German demand that the allies credit Ruhr deliveries to the reparations account. (Note—Advices from Paris said that a coal agreement already had been reached between the Franco-Belgian authorities and the Stinnes group of German industrialists by which a certain portion of coal produced in the Ruhr would apply on Germany's reparations bill.) M. Hannekart, chief of the Belgian economic commission, told International News Service that a complete agreement could have been signed a long time ago if the Germans had confined themselves to economic questions instead of demanding insertion of political clauses raised by the German reichs. "They proposed a clause which would allow them to say they never recognized the legality of the Ruhr occupation," said M. Hannekart. "The more we insisted upon rejection of this clause, the more they demanded its insertion." Finally the commission talked personally with Hugo Stinnes, with whom Hannekart had been engaged. LA HABRA, Nov. 26—LaHabra Kiwanians participated in a very enjoyable meeting at the local club held Thursday at noon in the Community hall. With District Governor "Bill" Brown as guest of honor, La Habra Kiwanians observed guest day. One hundred members of the club with their wives were present to honor their distinguished visitor. Also other guests present were Prof. W. T. Boyce and wife, and Albert Launer and wife of Fullerton. Special arrangements were made for this meeting in celebration of the club's anniversary. At the close of the luncheon, a speech of welcome to the district governor and the ladies was given by Dr. E. T. Boice, while Dr. Edna Burgeson ably responded. Secretary Ferran gave a brief resume of the accomplishments of the La Habra Kiwanis during the past year, which was later spoken of by the governor as a creditable showing for even a much larger town. After a talk by L. J. Wester, president of the club, W. T. Boyce of the Fullerton junior college, spoke upon the significance of Educational week. N. M. Launer, one of the delegates to the state convention, formally presented the La Habra club with the beautiful gold bell trophy won by the club for its attendance to the convention. The program was closed by an address by the guest of honor, District Governor Brown. Monday and Tuesday will see the great industrial fair put on under the auspices of the Women's club with Mrs. George Hilbert as chairman of this affair. Local merchants have secured all the space available, and will give a splendid exhibit of their wares. A baby show will also be included with Dr. Edna Burgeson as chairman, assisted by Mrs. J. F. Wagg and daughter Winnie. The baby boy and girl showing the highest percentage of perfection will each receive a half-dozen photos from the Heauther Studio. The Senior Ladies' club were entertained by Mrs. Myra Hilbbs LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26—Ward H. Carlston, charged with the murder of Robert McGee, spared policeman, was today shown the .45 calibre revolver he is alleged to have used in the slaying. Carlton was taken from the county jail to Central Police Station where another effort was made to gain a confession from him. The revolver was found within a block of the J. C. Belding house in Irolo-st where the shooting occurred. The gun has been idified as one missing from officers of the U. S. S. Arizona, from which ship Carleton is said to have deserted. Carlton still claims the shooting was done by a mysterious man named "Jack Bedford" who accompanied he and his wife Jean Carleton, to the Belding house. He denies he had a gun on night of the murder. Carleton's story is refuted however, by his young bride who said that he and she were aline in the house together and by her statement of a witness at the cornerer's inquest who said he had Carleton and his wife enter place together. Two brothers of Mrs. Carleton arrived here today from San Diego and went into conference with torneys they have retained fight the murder charge against Mrs. Carleton.

"They proposed a clause which would allow them to say they never recognized the legality of the Ruhr occupation," said M. Hannekart. "The more we insisted upon rejection of this clause, the more they demanded its insertion." Finally the commission talked personally with Hugo Stinnes, with whom Hannekart had been having numerous conferences. Hannekart did not conceal his admiration for "this genial adverty," of whom he said: "He is a fine man, gifted with remarkable intelligence—a first-rate negotiator whom one has to watch. He employs enormous persuasive powers when it is a question for him to attain his aims." Hannekart continued: "We told Stinnes that this might be a political question, but we wanted to make an economic agreement. Stinnes and his colleagues insisted. They explained this insistence by producing a letter from former Chancellor Stresemann which at once changed the situation completely. From that moment we appeared to be dealing with the German government, which was not our mission at all. We told the Germans we would have to leave the political questions to our government." In reply to a question regarding General DeGoutte's latest order for bidding German industrialists to make wholesale dismissals and lockouts, Hannekart said: "The mine owners wanted to prolong work hours. They cannot frankly tell the workers, 'You must work longer hours without earning higher wages.' Therefore, they instituted a novel method, they dismissed thousands of their workers, intending to hire them back under new terms. This method must provoke the gravest social upheaval, which we want to avert at any cost. Moreover, we have guaranteed the workers that their condition will not be made worse. French and Belgians are working harmoniously and in complete accord. Each agrees with each decision taken." Asked if the French and Belgians had been able to get as much coal from the Ruhr during the ten months of occupation as they got before, M. Hannekart replied: "We are getting two-thirds of the reparations program." He admitted, however, that this total was below what they got previous to the occupation.

Forbes, formerly director of the veterans' bureau, once was listed as a deserter from the U.

It happened more than 20 years ago when Forbes was an enlisted man in the signal corps. He subsequently was commissioned a major and promoted to a lieutenant-colonelcy in the world war.

FILIPINOS SEEKING COOLIDGE SUPPORT PROBE DEATH OF CHICAGO STUDENT CHICAGO, Nov. 26.—A trail of romance revealing affairs with married women and including also a platonic friendship with a clergyman's daughter was followed by police today in their inquiry into the baffling death of Freeman Louis Tracy, skilled technician, shot to death in an auto as it sped thru the University of Chicago campus early Sunday morning. Evidence of a bitter union labor dispute also was given some credence in sifting all possible evidence. Considerable significance was attached to a letter from a married woman who wished to continue her correspondence with Tracy despite her marriage. Another note, whose author was unknown, arranged a secret meeting in Evanston. Tracy was educating himself to be an electrical engineer, though he had held excellent positions as electrical expert. He matriculated at the University of Chicago last March, but discontinued his studies because of financial difficulties. Tracy had been going each night for the last two weeks to the home of his brother, William Tracy, West Hamond, Ills. He attended a dance in Chicago Saturday night. Police are seeking his girl companion, if one was with him that night. Shop Early PRES.

The chief justice was to set a date later in the day when a hearing will be conducted on the motion. Jordan's petition sets forth that the nine counts of the indictments are contrary to law.
