House Will Recess From
August 24 Till October 1
At Harding-Mondeli Conference ]
Early Vote on Revenues and
Tax Revision is Planned
y-om Th* Tribune'? Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug 13.?After a^
conference at the White House to-day I
with the President, Mr. Mondell, ma- j
jority floor leader, ar.nounced that the
House would recess from August 24 !
until probably the first of October.
According to the agreement with the I
White House, the lower body of Con- !
gress will dispose of all important j
legislation, except the Winslow bill, j
granting additional authority to the
War Finance Corporation for refinan- i
cing the railroads, before resting.
Even this bill may be '"advanced" if !
the program for next week moves for- i
ward as planned.
The schedule decided upon calls for
consideration of the revenue and tax'
revision bill by the Republicans of the |
House in conference next Monday
afternoon. It is understood that the j
majority will agree upon a rule limit?
ing debate, probably to three or pos- :
sibly lour days. The bill will be taken'
up by the House on Wednesday and j
voted on not later than Saturday.
Speedy disposition of the tax bill is
amp.y justified after the majority side j
has aired its views, Mr. Mondell de- ?
dared, by the announcement of the ''
minority that they intended to do noth- ?
ing toward helping to redraft the tax
la'.vs.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
CINCINNATI, Aug. 13.?Mrs. Rose
Goldblat?t, wife of the trainer or Harry
P. Whitney's Western string of horses
.eral years, firmly oelieves that
there are honest people in the world.
Friday evening she reported to the
that her diamonds, valued at
. had disappeared. City detec
tivea sagely opined that it was an "in?
side job" and frightened the Goldbiatt
servants into hysterics by their ques?
tionings.
Yesterday a small advertisement in
one of the papers ar.nounced that a
black bag containing jewerly had been
found, in one of the suburbs and, chanc?
ing that this might be her property,
Mrs. Goldblatt answered it. She de?
scrib? d the jewelry, one piece contain
? - two diamonds that had been given
her husband by Francisco Villa, the
Mexican bandit, while he was racing
the redoubtable Iron Mask at the
Juarez racetrack.
The finder of the bag was Mrs. Caro?
line Boehmer, wife of a poor watch
maker. She said that she found the
"bag lying in the street and carried it
home without looking at its contents.
As soon as her husband saw the jewels
he knew their value and sh? said that
she did not sleep all of Friday night
?\ th the small fortune in the house.
Mrs. Goldbiatt, upon the recovery of
her valuables, remembered that she
had left her b?g on the running board
of her electric car when she left home
ar.d that it. had been jostled off as she
traveled cityward.

deputy sheriff who kept the public from
trespassing unon it to-day.
He is N. W. Philbert, and he wears

is taking orders from the Astors. He
: stood guard over -ho read all day to?
day, and his actions rave aroused the
indignation of motorists in renora! and
I citizens of Rhinebeck in particular. The
road has served as a public highway
for years.
The road was built by the late Colo

000. Its upkeep ha-* proved expensive.
Colonel A tor, ?t is said, had the road
constructed after ir lue ng the town

' No records can be f i md that show that

Fall of Wirth Cabinet Possible
He was convinced that the Wirth gov?

live up to the undertakings entered upon I
after the London ultimatum, but added: '
"The Wirth government may fall, an- !
other with more reactionary tendencies '
may be formed, and another crisis
reached between France and Germany." j
The matter, however, was not so press- \
?ng, M. Briand concluded, that it might
not be postponed until the next meeting
of the Council. All the delegations :
agreed to this suggestion.
Marsh.:?.! Foch's military committee, ;
after it had been decided to maintain
military control in Germany, was in- :

Berlin Regrets Delay
BERLIN, Aug. 13 (By The Associated
Press).?The decision of the Supreme
Council to refer the Upper Silesian d.s
pute to the League of Nations occa?
sioned surprise in official circles and,
while the government declined to dis?
cuss the new situation, there was an in?
timation that the Wirth Cabinet was
disappointed at the Council's inability
to reach a llr.al and equitable decision.
"We chiefiy regret the delay in?
volved by the new procedure," a Cabi?
net official declared, "because it is cal?
culated to prolong the hardship? of the
alreadv sorely tried populace of Upper
Silesia."
Discussing the differences between
England and France, as reflected in re?
ports of the deliberations in. Paris, a
German official said:
"Germany had no interest in pro
moting an actual break in the ranks of
the Entente. She has an abiding faith
in the righteousness of her ca=e re?
specting Upper Silesia, and is quite
willing to have the issue decided by the
Council of the League."
There is evident some apprehension
regarding the nature of the attitude
taken by the Poles, in view of the Coun?
cil's decision. It is asserted they are
prepared for a fresh invasion of the
I plebiscite arear of Upper Silesia.
Harvey Indorses Allied
Plan to Continue Union

Copyright, 1921, iN'ew York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, Aug 13.?The Supreme Coun?
cil of the Allies finished its meeting
in Paris late to-night with the diplo
' mats agreeing unanimously that, dc
: spite the serious differences of opin
i ion of the last week, the union of the
' Allies is to remain stronger than ever
! and to be regarded more than ever
I as indispensable.
Ambassador Harvey fciV the first
?time dropped his reserve and said:
"I feel I have done very little?less
than nothing -in this council. I ask
your indulgence, for I often wanted
i very much to follow my desire to speak
! and participate in the discussions.
"You must realize how painful this
' was to me. But I can now abandon my
reserve and emphatically second the
! resolution stating the necessity of the
i of th.- Allies."
The Supreme- Council recognized the
desperate pli?t?t of Austria, .vhose .<
nomic, and perhaps national, fui ir .
dep^Tjcls en 'lie action of th* !
States, through Congress, in
t! e Allied creditors in renouncing their
liens on Austria as well as adhering
to the plan to allow necessary credits
for the purchase ? '" raw materials for
an industry, to which the hungry
people are looking for the means of
earning their bread.
The Supreme Council addressed an
appeal to the American government,
as well as to Serbia anil Rumaniu, who
. are waiting for the United States to
i take into consideration the imperative
i urgency of such a vital solution and
? give its adhesion to a movement on
j which the ?establishment of the eco?
nomic equilibrium of Europe and the
. .f?. ? f Austria depend.
Ambassador Harvey explained the
American delay briefly, saying that the
..<:?? ion of the United States dependa
entirely on the action of Congress.
Telephonic advices from the offices
' of the general secretariat of the
I League of Nations at Geneva this eve
; ning indicated that the Council of the
League, which has been called on to
regulate the Upper Silesia problem,
will meet at Geneva between the 20th
and 25th of this month. Viscount Ishii,
acting president of the executive com?
mittee, declined to-day to accept re?
sponsibility for saying when and wh< re
j the Council would meet, and asktd the
secretariat to decide.
It is understood that France favors
holding the meeting in Paris, but the
secretariat w?i explain the necessity,
: in that care, of transporting a large
, staff of clerks and secretaries to
Franc?, which it wishes to avoid. The
[ French probably will accept such a de
i cisi?n.
It wa^ decided to-day that Leon
Bourgeois, President of the Senate,
. will represent France.
It is possible that the League Coun?
cil's session will merge into the meet
j ing of the General Assembly of the
I League, which also is to me* : al
' Geneva September 5. The general sec?
retariat is now occupied in collecting
voluminous documents rebating to the
Upper Siles.a question, and it ;?? under
' stood the Council will hear many wit
? nesses from Germany and Poland.

From the moral viewpoint, th?* fact

Rum Schooner Gone; Phantom,
Anyhow, Asserts U. S. Official
Ship Reported to Have Sailed Hurriedly After
Abandoning Attempt to Land Cargo ; Dry
Agent Clings to Theory
NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 13.? '
The Arethusa, reputed rum-running
schooner, which has been reported do- :
ir.g a rushing business from her berth
off No-Man's Land, has gone. i
She set sail hurriedly Wednesday
night after an alleged ineffectual effort
to land 340 ca.-?es of liquor on the'
shores of Martha's Vineyard. Accord?
ing to advices received, the cases were
loaded into the schooner's boat
Wednesday afternoon and the boat pro?
ceeded some distance toward the shore,
but suddenly for some reason unknown
turned back to the schooner. The crew
are said to have worked feverishly,toss?
ing the I quor back aboard, and a short
time later the vessel was heading out
to sea.
BOSTON", Aug. 13.?Federal officers
hero d sagreed to-day as to wl
the British ship Arethusa was real or
only a phantom chip.
Collector of Customs Wilfred W.
Lufkin. after a fruitless search for the
vessel during the las* forty-eight hours
by a revenue cutter, announci d he was
convince'! that the "whole propaganda
from beginning to end was at least 90
per cent ?"union and imagination." On
the other hand, Harold B. Wilson, su
pervising prohibition enforcement
agent of New England, said he was sat
i-.ied New Bedford men were financing
the Arethusa and that he hoped to
make arrests in the case shortly.
Collector Lufkin said:
'"After two days of intensive search
on land and sea, Collector Lufkin and
his force are convinced that the much
advertised stories about the activities
of the schooner Arethusa are, to say
the least, greatly exaggerated.
"From a resume of tue evidence
available it appears that about the
worst violation of the law to date, if
any, is that some of the sword fisher?
men going cut of New Bedford have
purchased a few drinks or perhaps a
bottle or two of liquor from a vessel
of British registry somewhere off the
coast, at a distance estimated from
three to thirty miles, according to the
state of the imagination of the infor
mant."
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 13.?Two more
mystery boats, believed to be liquor
runners, are reporte 1 cruising off the
Delaware Capes, N. C. Brooks, special
agent of the Treasury Department, in
charge of investigating liq
K?ng in this district, has sent agents
to learn the character of the cargoes
; of the vessels. They are running at
night without lights in violation of
maritime law, according to Brooks.

support: so i" ? ? sary if you must
stand for a long time or walk or

patterned with a natural inner line
so that the toes lie straight ahead
and have plenty of room. This nat

well-set heel combine to encourage
correct posture.
And instead of a rigid, unyield?

shank that is flexible. Your mu ;les
move as freely as theywould if you

WITH the foot. Th ? instep flexes
naturally: the tissues grow' strong

Cars Camouflaged as Hay
Resorts Near Detroit Said
To Be Getting 60 Cents a
Bottle for 9 P. C. Brew
WINDSOR, Ontario, Aug. 13.?Cana?

was received here that Michigan state
police, armed with rifles, had been
mobilized to prevent them landing
liquor manufactured in Ontario.
Beer was hauled to the docks in both
Sandwich and Waikerville, truckload
after truckload, and it was estimated
by waterfront observers that nearly a
dozen boats had pulled out every hour
since S o'clock this morning.
The bustle along the docks continued
e*.en when unconfirmed reports were
received that Michigan state police,
embarking in three high-powered mo?
tor boats, had run two liquor-laden
craft ashore near Ecorse and seized the
cargo.
At the present moment it is reported
the smugglers are concentrating on 9
per cent. beer. Reports were current
to-day that not only had beer beer,
i shipped this week to Detroit by water,
| but that more than a dozen carloads,
! camouflaged as hay, had entered that
city by rail.
Beer 60 Cents a Bottle
According to reports at the waW
j front, the rum runners had increased
?their efforts to get liquor across th?3
\ bord:r to satisfy demands of Michigan
; roadhouses, which were reported to be
I expecting an unequalled week-end
? trade. Word was received here that
. these resorts were charging 60 cents.
! a bottle for beer. According to infor?
mation at hand, some Canadian liquor
has got as far as Toledo and Port
Huron.
Reasonably fast motorboats are the
craft most used in the liquor traffic.
These boats carry 2,000 cartons of
beer. Each carton contains two dozen
I pint bottles.
