"This girl," Mr. Newcombe said after the conference, "persistenly in sisted during my questioning that she was only 16 years old. Her father and mother urged her to tell the truth. mother, with tears in her eyes, besought her to admit the facts. But she refused to say anything except that she was 16- that she was 16.

A more positive statement was made by Francis C. Dale, attorney for Mr. Browning.

He said: "Mr. Browning will petition the surrogate at once to set aside the adoption. and there is 110 question that, the court will set it Mary may even consent to have it set aside, but we do not care whether or not she does. "The district attorney will present the facts to the surrogate regarding her age, an dthat ought to be enough. Mr.

He, added: "As to what feeling Mr.

Mr. Browning and his new fosterdaughter would not be interviewed when they left the office of the District Attorney. Accompanied by Miss Martin, the ever -present chaperone, they eloowed their way through the crowd of 'newspapermen and curious persons outside the prosecutor's headquarters and drove off in the direction of the New Gardens Inn, where the girl (has had her luxurious suite since the day the adoption papers were signed.

Later, at the inn, Mr. Browning issued a statement in which he indicated that Mary Louise was not as "completely out of the picture" for him as his attorney had indiented.

He had not made up his anind, he said, just what he would do. eventually in regard to the girl.

HEIRS OF STINNES PLAN BANKRUPTCY TO FEND OFF RUIN (Continued From Page 1.) That his family now mercy conduct of his fune, enterprises. of the men he fought adds a further element of tragedy to the story of the collapse of his industrial empire. Alarm Expressed. The Rhenisch-Westfaelische Zeitung at Essen, generally regarded as the mouthpiece of Stinnes family, today expressed the alarm of the family council over the situation. It declared the banks have been unwilling to assume additional obligations and also that high interest is demanded.

Besides the customary interest which, of course, exceeds that which it is necessary to pay the Reichsbank, said the journal, the banking group demands from the Stinnes concern percent interest on the capital which the banks hold in readiness for the liquidation. The newspaper states that the failure of Dr. it Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank, to give Hugo Stinnes Jr. assurance that the banking group would alter its course is taken by the Stinnes family to mean that Dr. Schacht "approves the actions of the banks and thus sur.

rendering German economic life generally to ruin." Members of the banking group conducting the Stinnes liquidation categorically deny any differences exist between themselves and the Stinnes family.

Ku Klux Klan Camp Close to Capitoi Grounds in Washington Before Big Parade Klan Kleagles Kavort in Kapital Kommon Krowd of Kountry Kinsmen in Kimonos Is Konception of Krew Kontemplating Kluxer Kut-ups Keeping Kadence. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Bldg. By JOHN BILLINGS JR. Washington, Aug.

8-The big parade of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan here today was a rare study in faces. As the endless white columns rolled down Pennsylvania ave. from the Capitol to the Monument, Washingtonians got their first chance to look these Kluxers squarely in the face. With the masks or "visors" of their pointed dunce-caplike headgear rolled up, these legion marchers turned out to be just plain folks quite devoid of any mystery. Really, they seemed to feel a little silly without their full disguise.

The parade itself was a monotonous affair. At first the throngs along the way were mildly enthusiastic, applauding some grand dragon in green silk or some kleagle on a horse. But after an hour of this procession they grew wearythe marchers themselves and looked on in silence. Within another hour they began to desert their posts along the curb. The seemed endless as the robed figures poured by.

Most of the Knights, as observed on the streets before the parade started, were of the small-town type, very few of them were handsome. There were young boys and old men with trailing gray whiskers. A great cross-section of middle-class American mechanics, barbers, clerks, shopkeepers, farmers, clam-diggers, salesmen-and all of them with their female counterparts. Here and there you would find a sprinkling of the "leading citizen" class, prosperous and round, with a jolly manner. Nobody would have mistaken these kluxers for a highbrow, intellectual crew.

Most of them had round sailor haircuts and wore floppy caps. The women were obese, the girls freckled. There was a noticeable absence of negroes along the line of march. They had been warned by their owp leaders to keep away from this demonstration and they did, in large numbers. Here and there one would be found on the outskirts of a crowd, trying to puzzle out in his baffled way the meaning of all this white mummery.

It. was a hot afternoon for the long hike down the city's historic avenue. After hour the sky grayed over, with threat of rain, and the air grew sticky and oppressive, It was typical summer shirt -sleeve crowd, Just such crowd, in appearance, R8 could easily have been rounded up at, say, Coney Island. The white costumes looked soiled and dusty, Faces glistened with sweat. Feet ached on the hard pavement.

Heavy men puffed and swore softly. There was little exalted Joy among the countless marchers. Nor was this Klan crowd a liberally spending bunch. Washington a whole collected real cash from them. They did patronize the leading hotels.

Instead they 1 overflowed the lobbies, taking possession of all public lounges. When it came to food, though, they did not make use of the hotel restaurants, but gnawed sandwiches wrapped in newspapers or ate at cheap lunchcounters. One of the brightest spots in the line march was the mass formation of some 400 American flags carried by the white-robed figures. This came near the head of the procession and brought the most applause from the crowds along the curb. Every little contingent carried its silk American flag.

The Klan seems to have got 8 monopoly on this emblem of patriotism. The plain men and women who made up the rank and file of the Klan marchers walked in two fashions with their hands folded across their chests or with their hands joined the length of the column. When their arms were folded, they had a pious look. When clasped hand to hand, they looked like kids about to go skipping around a Maypole. As a whole they kept step with no military precision an dtheir columns and wavered and broke frequently." It was amusing to watch some of the Knights climbing into their white "armor" at the Willard Hotel, their headquarters, before the parade started.

Wives helped their bands to slip the night shirt regalin over their regular clothes right in public. To those who had failed to bring the proper costume for the parade, Klansmen with keen business sense were ready to sell the necessary yards of sheeting at headquarters. Money was to be made and Klan officials are not above a little profit, even at national demonstration. The clink of cash, as Klan insignia was sold, was loud at the Willard all through the morning. A great number of "ringers" came to Washington on the special trains provided for the Klan contingent.

They were sold cheap transportation and came down just "for the thrill." They went back tonight disappointed. Many an O'Brien and a Levinski managed to gO along with the Knights unnoticed. In fact there Was little difference in appearance between them, 50 broad a label is 100 per cent Americanism. The Klan parade was dry-absolutely. The organization is for Prohibition and all the Knights while here at least, gave a fine exhibition of law observance.

Strict orders had heen issued against any liquor. It was a camp-meeting crowd that came to Washington for this large demonstration of the Klan's strength. In apparent intelligence and quality they were far below our last great horde of visitors, the Shriners, but they were well-behaved and they did not stay long. BOY, 12. MISSING.

STRATEGY PITS BUSINESS SUCCESSES AGAINST POLITICIANS Present Tactics Are Tried for First Time in City's History as an Experiment.

My WILLIAM WOODFORD. Tactics never before tried in a New York City election are being used by the Republican-Fusionists in their attempt to grasp victory from their warring Democratic opponentMayor Hylan and Senator Walker. In the arts of, successful business operation the new candidates are past masters. In knowledge of things political they are raw recruits. "Business men VS.

professional politicians." That is to be the outstanding issue between the Republican-Fusionists and the Democrats. Here is the slate to date: For Mayor: Frank D. Waterman, Republican, of Manhattan, president of the L. E. Waterman Company, fountain pen manufacturers.

For Controller: A. Brooklyn Democratic lawyer who is well known throughout the cit, a Catholic by religion, and a non-politician. For President of the Board of Aldermen: A Manhattan business man of the Jewish faith. All Fitted For In each case the candidate, according of the "Big Six" G. P.

leaders, is pre-eminently fitted for position. "They are men who have made an outstanding business success and they are not politicians," this leader declared last night. The Brooklyn man for Controller has been definitely selected and has given his acceptance, conditional on the fact that the ticket, as finally drawn up, shall be satisfactory to him and that it shall have the approval of more the majority of the Republican leaders of the five borors. In Manhattan, Leader Samuel S. Koenig, is finding difficulty in persuading "his man" to accept the third place on the ticket.

If he fails. there is more than a good chance of Jacob A. Livingston, Kings County Republican leader, capturing two places on the city ticket for Brooklyn. Richard W. Lawrence, G.

O. P. "boss" of the Bronx has failed to produce a suitable candidate for President of the Board of Aldermen, although that part of the ticket was offered to him. Making An Experiment. Last night the Republican Icaders frankly admitted new type of candidates is an experiment.

"It is the first time that the Republicans have done such a thing," one leader said. "The men to be selected are to be purely business men. We are steering clear, wherever possible, of candidates who have anything that smacks of professional or even experienced careers in politics. We want to make the contrast between our men and the Democrats vividly marked." A disquieting rumor of a Republican primary ght was, current last night. "William M.

Bennett, the man who defeated Mayor Mitchell in the Republican primaries eight years ago, will again make a contest," was the word which flew from clubhouse to clubhouse. Mr. Bennett could not be reached to verify the report, said to be of considerable authenticity. If Bennett should repeat his old performance, it will mean that the G. 0.

P. leaders will be balked in their original plans to "go slow" on speech-making after the primary election on 'Sept, 15. Prettiest Jewish Girl In Boro Wanted at Coney The prettiest Jewish girl in Brooklyn is being sought by the directors of the contemplated $500,000 Ocean Parkway Jewish Community Center in a unique contest to act as Miss Brooklyn and to take the chief part in the ceremonies at the joining of the roof of the Center.

Wife of Artist Starts Fight to Upset Divorce CLAUDIA WINDSOR TAR TOUE. An appeal from the verdict in favor of Pierre Tartoue, an artist, who sued for a divorce from Claudia Windsor Tartoue, was filed in the Supreme Court on Friday by the law firm of Spellman Schwartz in of 130 W. 42d Manhattan, acting half of Mme. Tartoue. A jury on June 26 found affirmatively on six questions submitted to it involving alleged acts of misconduct on the part of Mme.

Tartoue and found negatively on two charges set up by her against her husband in a counterclaim for divorce. "The divorce suit," said Mme. Tartoue last night, "was the result. of a conspiracy. Corespondents were named who were out of the city.

We were powerless to produce them. The extent to which my husband went is ghown by the fact that my own brother was named, a procedure that was, to say the least, preposterous." IDENTITY OF BODY IN MYSTERY BLAST AGAIN QUESTIONED Martinez, Aug. 8 (AP)-District Attorney A. B. Tinning of Contra Costa County stated today that he does not consider the identification of the body found in the Pacific cellulose plant laboratory as that of G.

W. Barbe as certain. "On the contrary," he said, "I am inclined to doubt whether the right name for the corpse has yet been found." Tinning did not give the detailed reasons on which he has based his conclusions. Mrs. Charles Henry Schwartz, wife of the chemist and general manager of the Cellulose Company, asserted that she is certain that Barbe will reappear as Joe Rodriguez, for a time believed by investigators to be the dead man.

She expressed tire opinion that this will further substantiate her claims that the body is that of her husband, who, she avers, died in an explosion of chemicals used by him in an effort to discover a compound for the manufacture of artificial silk. Jersey Crime Increases Since Dry Law, Charge Newark, N. Aug. 8 (AP)-The Anti-Dry League of New Jersey in a. resume of a State survey made public today asserted that speak easies have increased, that stills for the making of illicit liquor have multiplied and that drunk and disorderly arrests have tripled in the State since 1919.

"Astounding increases also have been found in the more serious crimes -murders, holdups, burglaries, graft, and conspiracy to violate corruption laws which before prohibition were enforced and respected. An amazing of the new offenders has been percentage found among the young people -some mere boys," the statement added. Ferry to Manhattan Urged To Relieve Traffic Menace Crossing Queensboro Bridge The request of the Queensboro Chamber of Commerce for a' ferry service between Manhattan and Queens has directed the attention of city officials to the imperative need for additional vehicular transportation facilities connecting these two boros, according to a statement by the Queensboro Chamber of Commerce, until such a time as another bridge or vehicular tunnel is built between the two boros. The city now owns the ferry slips at W. 34th Manhattan, and the Chamber asks that the waterfront property between 7th and 8th in Long Island City be acquired by the city and the Queensboro ferry slip established at that point.

It should be possible, the Chamber states, to establish this service within a period of six months, as new ferryboats will be delivered shortly, which will release two older boats for this service. This would divert horse-drawn vehicles and slow-moving trucks to the ferry and relieve the congestion on Queensboro bridge. "The diversion of all horse-drawn vehicles from the Queensboro Bridge would not cause any hardship on the users of this equipment," said L. M. Stevenson, president of L.

T. Stevenson, Long Island City. Mr. Stevenson stated that he would never send a loaded horse-drawn vehicle across the Queensboro Bridge if there was any other conventent means for crossing the East River, because he thinks too much of his horses to subject them to the dangers, particularly on wet and rainy days, which they must encounter in crossing the bridge. Benefit to Tracks.

A distinct advantage also accrues to owners of electrically propelled motor vehicles, as it is stated that they can make only one trip per day across Queensboro bridge on one charging of the battery, whereas these trucks, by using the ferry, can make two trips into Manhattan each day on one charging of the battery. The saving in time through use of the ferry, if regular and frequent service is established, will also be material, manufacturers stated, in that they will be saved not only the delay due to the bridge congestion, but also more than mile of haulage in the thickly Speaking streets of the matter, Manhattan. Frank F. on Adel. President of the Queensborc Chamber of Commerce, stated: "The only comprehensive solution for the problem of vehicular congestion on the Queensboro bridge is the construction of additional bridges or' tunnels between Manhattan and Queens.

No one could foresee the immense traffic that would use the Queensboro bridge when It Was opened in 1909. The traffic count taken by the Department of Plant and Structures shows that today more than 18 times as many vehicles cross the Queensboro bridge in a 24-hour period than when it was first opened. The number of horsedrawn vehicles has constantly decreased, while has the increased number of motor vehicles by leaps and bounds." Many different plane have been to increase the capacity of the proposed Queensboro bridge. One made by the Queenaboro Chamber of Commerce under date of Sept. 16, 1924.

was that the sidewalks at the north and sound side of the bridge be utilized for passenger vehicular traffic, forming two additional lanes for traffic between Manhattan and Queens. This would require the construction of entrance and exit roadways at the Queens end of the bridge. Study Bridge Problem.

(P) The bodies of thirteen little children between the ages of 9 and 14 wito were drowned at noon today at the bathing beach at Hardelot, a few miles south 'of here, when great wave washed them out to sea, have been recovered and carried to the little chapel near the beach.

Five other children who were on the shore still are missing. The herole efforts of four priests waved the lives of 10 of the children, I denced by the fact that in 1915, when C. G. W. Thomas was prestdent of the chamber, it was pointed out that plans should be made for additional bridges across the East River, as it was realized that many years would pass before plans could be agreed upon for the proper location of the bridge.
