Loren B. Smith, entomologist in charge of the Japanese beetle quarantine at the headquarters In River- ton, N. said if it rains or gets cooler, the embargo may be lifted by Monday morning. "It is our policy to work as little hardship on the produce merchant as possible," he said. "Dock street was heavily infested yesterday and the flight of the pest was particularly noticeable along the Delaware river from Rlverton to Audubon.

We are also receiving reports of heavy flights in German- town and the beetles are particularly thick in Lansdowne." The present quarantine area covers a district of more than 6000 square miles, including eastern Pennsylva nia, New Jersey south of Rahway, and the upper part of Delaware. A force of 500 inspectors from the de partment of agriculture' is patrolling the roads around Philadelphia in an effort to check all shipment of con traband beetle carriers. The ban is placed on all exeen stuffs, such as vegetables, flowers and nursery stock, hay, straw, sand, soil, compote and gravel. These restrictions do not affect shipments consigned to points within the regulated area. An extra force of inspectors was placed along Dock street and the wharves along Delaware avenue to day.

The freight yards are being watched and the railroads warned not to permit contraband shipments.

Paris, July 24. UP) M. Polncare'a new cabinet has agreed upon the principles of a financial rehabilitation program which will be submitted for parliament's approbation. An official communique issued after the first meeting of the thirteen members of the ex-presldent's "ministry of national union" this afternoon, made this announcement. These principles are understood to elude augmentation of Indirect taxation and a slight Increase In the direct levy upon acquired wealth In order to follow the plan of "restoration from within," rather than resort to the aid of credits obtained abroad.

Seven of the thirteen cabinet ministers are known either to have taken a stand publicly against ratification of the Mellon -Berenger debt agreement In Its present form or are likely, in view of their past political associations, to side with Premier Poincare on a showdown. These partisans of the "France save herself" policy are said to be Poincare, Paln-leve, Herrlot. Leygues, Tardleu. Bo-kanowskl and Louis Marin, while M. Sarraut and M.

Fallleres, with the oth'er members of the cabinet, are expected to concur. Therefore ratification of the lnter-allied debt agreements will probably be temporarily sidetracked, notwithstanding the fact that various spokesmen have predicted that both accords, with the United States and Great Britain, would be ratified in a short time. M. Polncare'a first act on assuming direction of the ministry of finances was to Instruct all agents throughout the country to hasten the publication and distribution of the new tax lists for 1926, and to send out notices encouraging taxpayers to make provisional part payments- "It is important that this example be followed everywhere," says M. Polncare'a Instructions.

"No refusal to accept such partial payments upon the pretext that the tax list has not been published will be tolerated on the part of the collectors."

Robert and Russell Scott, the first sentenced to life for hi part in the killing of Joseph Maurer, a drug clerk, and the latter sentenced to hang, faced each other in the county jail today a few hours after Robert's statement that he himself did the shooting. He had testified at his trial that Russell killed the clerk in the City Hall Pharmacy.

They clasped hands in silence. Then Russell said: "Robert has dqne just what I always thought he'd do." Robert said: "The confession mav not help me, but It already has taken a load from my conscience." Russell, more talkative than at any time since he was brought here from an asylum, found sane and re-sentenced to death, declared if his brother's confession should bring him liberty, he would devote the rest of his life to opposing capital punishment. Members of the State's attorney's staff scoffed at Robert's belated confession and said it could not alter the legal situation by which Russell must hang. This belief was also expressed by Judge William N. Gem-mill, who sentenced Robert.

The confession quoted Scott as saying: "I raised the gun over the tack of Maurer (he was lying on top of me in a struggle), and I fired. I was so dazed after I got up I fired a few more shots. I don't know where they went to." When Scott pleaded guilty to the crime before he was sentenced without a Jury trial, the judge placed him on the stand and said: "Did you fire the shots which killed Joseph Maurer?" He answered at that time: "Xo. 1 did Mot," but declined to make any statement that would Incriminate his brother Russell. 14-YEAR-OLD SWEETHEARTS ELOPE AND DEFY PURSUERS High School Freshmen Elude Posse and Vow Death Before Separation Ellsworth, July 24.
