COOK WITH GAS •*28-32 Thirteenth Street — Brownsville, Texa I | / J SEE EARLY END OF RANK ROW Sir Esme Howard Leads Dis cussion of Question In 2-Hour Parley WASHINGTON. April 9.—<^P)— Prospects of an early settlement of the capital’s social upheaval over the rank of Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, sister and official hostess of Vice-President Dawes, as a guest at official functions, were seen today in the decision of the diplomatic corps to ask Secretary Stimson for a definite ruling. The diplomats discussed the problem for two hours last night at a meeting called by Sir Esme Howard, the British ambassador, as dean of the corps. They agreed that, in view of the protest by Vice-President Curtis against the ruling issued by former Secretary Kellogg placing Mrs. Gann’s social rank below that of the wives of diplomats—and. incidentally, the wives of cabinet members and sen ators—Sr Esme should take up the matter with the new secretary. Because of the large number of social functions planned before the vacation season begins, it was thought a definite ruling was more desirable than efforts to avoid embarrassment by arranging guest lists so they would not include both diplomats and the vice president. Such a course, it was felt, might have little or no effect except to add one more complication to the already extremely complex prob lem of social rank in Washington, especially in view of the claims of the chief justice and speaker of the house of representatives to socal rank equal to that of diplomats. LIGHT VOTE CAST HARLINGEN. April 9.—One hun dred and seventy eight votes was the final count in the city school board election which took place here Saturday. A. E. McClendon and A. A.

The robber was said to have jumped from the bus and dis appeared into the Choctaw bottoms as the vehicle approached Denison. Officers continued today to guard all bridges and roads in the vicinity of the creek, which has been at flood stage after recent heavy rains, in the hope the man may still be hiding in the underbrush.

GERMANS WIN TACT SKIRMISH • Allies Seek More Now Than At End of War, Schacht Learns In Maneuver • PARIS, April 9.—(/P)—Germans have secured a tactical advantage in maneuvers attending the con ference of experts on reparations which delegates of the allied na tions today were trying to over come. The advantage was an outgrowth of questioning by Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichs bank recently of the allied dele gates as to expected size and total of reparations disbursements sought by their countries. These figures, once obtained, staggered the Germans, who found them not only far in excess of what they were willing to offer—albeit they had never made any definite offer—but considerably in excess of the 2,500,000,000 marks ($625,000, 000) annuities specified in the Dawes plan. It was because of allied recognition of the burden someness of the Dawes plan annui ties—or a purported willingness to be shown—that the conference was called. The unreasonableness of the sit uation was apparent at once to both the allied delegates and to the Germans who were placed in a posi tion in which they could accuse the allied nations of seeking even more from them than at the end of the war. Today the allied delegates’ counter move took the form of private meetings to see if each na tion could not so slash its claims as to reduce materially the total as they were given to Dr. Qchacht.
