W2 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, MONDAY, NEW DEBT TALKS BELIEVE BRANCATl LEFT OF OWN WILL; First Mortgages Amortized 2nd Mortgages Embassy Attache Who Gets No Attention in Europe Is Like Grand Duke to Capital MOTORIST RILLED, 3 HURT AS AUTO AND TAXI COLLIDE Police Seek Hit-Run Driver Who Knocked Down Aged Pedestrian Crossing Street. I'liRle llurrim, Colorado Hnlltllng. By HENRY SUYDAM. I Second In a Series of Articles on Washington Social Life.) Washington, April 29 With the exception of four American officials, the highest ranking persons in Washington are foreigners, the group of 14 Ambassadors who represent the major Powers of Europe, South America and the Far East. The President, Vice President, Sec retary of State and Chief Justice outrank Ambassadors, but all others are beneath them in official prece dence.

Prior to 1914 there were not more than a half-dozen' Ambassadors In Washington, but since then the United States has sent and received Ambassadors from a number of the smaller European and Latin-American States from reasons of senti ment or politics. Ambassadors rep resent the persons of Kings or Presidents, and on that account are given the highest rank. Ministers, on the other hand, represent governments, and thus rank much lower. Foreign Diplomats Dominate. There are in all 55 Ambassadors and Ministers In Washington, rep resenting ail degrees ol power, from the might of Great Britain down to the picturesque Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

The Diplomatic Corps more or less dominates the social scene. Most embassies and legations maintain magnificent establishments where entertaining is car-rled on for the foreign diplomats themselves and for a somewhat re stricted group of Americans, most of whom have official positions. mere is much angling in Wash ington to get Invited to embassy parties. Wednesday is "diplomatic day," on which the wives of Ambassadors and Ministers arc "at home." Ambitious women spend the entire afternoon droDning ards at the various dlDlomatlc houses. Within a short time a set of diplomatic cards is left in return.

At some future time an invitation will be received to a musicale or large evening "crush." Invitations to diplomatic dinners are, however, more difficult to achieve and re quire some degree of personal con tact. A Prize Assignment. The prize committee of the Sen ate, from a social standpoint, is the Committee on Foreign Relations. The Senator who gets one of these assignments becomes overnight invested with a certain importance in tne realm or loreign affairs. His foreign experience may be limited to a junket to Panama and Haiti, but ne begins to "act up.

He is as sured of all sorts of courtesies if he goes abroad, and in Washington ha and his wife are invited to the nicest diplomatic parties. Members of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the House of Representatives are less important Decause tne House Committee has Non-Stop Hop SEEN ON STREETS Authorities Ready to Drop Hunt-Witness Says He Met Doctor Here in February. The search for Dr. Charles Bran- catt, who disappeared from his home, the Oouverneur Mansion, in tht Bronx, on Nov. 19 last, slowed up today on the theory that the wealthy physician was still alive and that he never was kidnaped.

Bronx au thorities indicated lt mignt oe alto gether dropped. The Kidnapmg tncory naa ueeu stoutly held by the missing doctor's three brothers, Ernest, fcawara ana Oicste, who expressed the fear that the kidnapers had by now done away with him. Yesterday, however. the investigating omciais learned from George B. Sklliman, insurance adjuster of Congqrs, N.

that Dr. Brancati was seen on the streets of New York as receotly as the latter part of February, tbree months after his supposed disappearance ana iwu months ago. Ekillman had frequently mci Brancati, he said, in the office ol tho late Frank M. Ferrari, head of the now defunct City Trust company, and knew hftn well. In th second or third week in February-he wasn't sure whlcla Sklliman said he saw Brancati at Broadway and John st.

talking to Du id Oluckman, attorney, of 233 Brotfciway. Sklliman, who did wot know the doctor had been reported missing, said "How do you do, Dr. Brancati?" to him, and the doctctf replied to him, "Hello, old man!" Gluckman recalled the incident, ajthougb he did not remember the name ol the man addressed as "doctor" with whom he was talking. Assistant District Attorney Sylvester Ryan of the Bronx announced today that he was convinced the doctor had dropped out of sight of his own volition. 9 IN FAMILY DIE IN CROSSING CRASH Mlddl'etown, N.

April 29 (IF) Only Frank Vianchl, 12, remained today of the Antonio Vianchl family of 10 to recount the grade-crceslng accident that took nine lives at New Hampton, four miles from hcrj, yesterday. The sole survivor of the traln-auto crash yesterday was still in a serious condition at a hospital here, but physicians gave him an evert chance for recovery. Relatives of the Vianchls made plans to bury Mr. and Mrs. Vianchl and their seven children, Lucia, 16; Marian, 14; Minnie, 10; George, Louise, Rose, 3, and Hcien, 10 momiis old.

The Vianchl automobile was struck 1 the west bound New York-Chicago express of the railroad. The head of the family, a railroad la borer or this -city, was taking his wife and children on a Sunday pleasure jaunt when they came to the grade crossing at New Hampton, Vianchl waited for an east bound express to pass and, as the last car rolled by, he started his machine across the tracks. It moved directly in front of the oncoming locomotive of the fast train, was scooped up and smashed to bits as It bounded along, partly on the track and partly on the pilot of the engine. HUNT 5 FLOGGERS OF RACE REFORMER St. Petersburg, April 29 (TV-James F.

Bickers, an attorney who aligned himself against dog racing and lawlessness in St. Petersburg, today was recovering from a beating given him yesterday by five men who kidnaped him from his home. Bickers said he would heed their warning to leave St. Petersburg not later than tonight. Some mystery surrounded the affair.

Bickers had Just returned to his home from church services when he was accosted by the men, who apparently had awaited his return near his house. At the point of pistols, he was forced into an automobile, handcuffed, gagged and bound. The men drove some distance from St. Petersburg, Bickers said, took him from the car, removed his clothing, robbed him of $2,000 and whipped him. RECTOR BANS CELEBRATION.

ALIEN PROPAGANDA UNDER HOUSE QUIZ I'nRle nurran, Colorado llnlltlluK Washington, April 29 Spurted by an open letter from immigration restrlctlonlsts to the President and members of Congress that there Is an organized "hyphenated propa ganda" by organizations with alien purposes to weaken and break down our existing restrictive Immigration policy, Representative John Cable of Ohio introduced a resolution in the House today to authorize an hi' vestigation and study of the alleged propaganda and efforts of foreign and other organizations to influence immigration legislation. Cable, who is a former member cf the Committee on Immigration and who assisted In drafting the ouota Immigration restriction law of 1924 which is now in effect, stated that the purpose of the resolution is not to investigate further the national origins provision but to disclose the methods of agitators seeking to divide the ranks of the restrlctlonlsts by using the national origins provision as a smoke screen. HUNTINGTON PLANS $275,000 FOR ROAD Huntington, L. April 29 Huntington authorities have decided to expend $276,000 as their share to improve New York between Huntington station and Halesite, and the town board has petitioned the State Highway Department to change their plans and construct the improvement from curb to curb practically the entire distance, and to instal the proper storm sewer to take of the surface water.

Some time ago the State Highway Department promised to place the improvement of New York ave. on thler 1929 program. This was to include a 20-foot Improvement the entire distance' from Huntington station to Halesite, through Huntington Village, as well as a pavement of a similar width from the Jericho tnpk. at South Huntington, south to the end of the present concrete surface at the Huntington-Babylon town line, a short distance north of the Agricultural School road at Farmingdale.

Paris, April 29 (Pi The twelfth week of the reparations conference opened today with a meeting of he drafting subcommittee to ex- mine preliminary work on the pro posed texts of the report to be submitted by the experts to the various overnments interested. These texts cover principally tho question of establishing an international bank to replace tho Rep- irations Commission and Transfer Committee, as well as the agent-general in the receipt and distrlbu- ion of reparations payments.

The meticulous care and long time spent in drafting the texts of the report was said to be due to the desire of the delegations to leave the way open for another confer ence to be held later on some neutral ground." was a feeling among some of the delegations that the atmosphere of Paris was not at all conducive to patching up financial difficulties between former enemies. In one delegation, it was said this morning, semi-seriously and semi- loklngly, that had J. P. Morgan in vited the experts instead or tnn Archbishop of Canterbury aboard his yacht for a cruise in the Adri atic "we might have avoided some of the shoals." Report Gilbert to Resign. Berlin, April 29 (P) It was under stood here today Dr.

Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Relchs-bank and German reparations spokesman, would confer at some length with Cabinet officials before he returned to Paris Wednesday night. The purpose would be to ascertain the attitude of the gov ernment regarding possibility of a raise in the German offer lor rep arations annuities and terms of pay ments. Paris correspondents of the Ger man papers today said S. Parker Gilbert, Agent General lor Reparations, soon would resign that position to accept a post in the banking firm of J. P.

Morgan. At the New York office of J. P. Morgan Co. a representative of the firm commented on the report that Mr.

Gilbert would resign to Join the Morgan company: "I can't tell you anything about that. Such a report was circulated a year or two ago and there was nothing to it then. I don't believe there's anything to it now."

A place on the Senate Committee on Post Offices or Pensions provides Juicier prerotatlves than a place on the Foreign Relations Committee, but it gets one nowhere in the social world. And even an assignment to the great Ways and Means Committee of the House doesn't hold a candle to (he Foreign Relations Committee when it comes to dining out. Paradise for Foreigners.

Washington is a paradise for foreigners, diplomatic or otherwise. The younger diplomatic secretaries, to whom little or no attention would be paid in London, Paris or Madrid, enjoy the prestige of grand dukes or princes. There are some American houses in Washington that specialize in foreigners, diplomatic or otherwise. Some hostesses would rather have a third secretary from a Caribbean Legation dining with them (than to entertain the most distinguished American scientist, musician or novelist. Some time ago a serious situation arose when a young American woman, in an attempt to ridicule this preoccupation with Europe, Invited a number of persons to dine "to meet Professor Einstein." The "Professor" was a gentleman from a mld-Europcan Legation who was in the secret.

He acted the part even down to an incomprehensible rigmarole that passed for Mr. Einstein's famous theorem. Some American women who were1 present, when the trick was discovered some time later, went to the various embassies and demanded apologies from the young European diplomatists who had participated in the hoax. All of which shows how serious Washington can be about itself. There is no r.uch thing as xenophobia here.

The more representative European who is stationed here is often amused, and perhaps even sometimes disgusted, with the transparent antics of Americans who pour out such social unction at his feet.

He said they took $61 from him and $200 from a box in the bedroom and set fire to the place after binding him. He said he had no fire insurance. Later, under questioning by Fire Marshal Thomas Brophy. he admitted that he has $2,000 insurance, according to Brophy. Brophy said he became suspicious when Pierro told him that the two men had attacked him while he was carrying a bundle.

Brophy alleged he found a small bundle on a chair in the kitchen. The fire marshal pointed out that If Pierro had been carrying the bundle when he was attacked at the door of his apartment he would have dropped it in the hallway. Pierro made other conflicting statements, Brophy said. His Ganary DEVOE long overcoat, but with such Lo-Ching was not concerned. He ascended in the elevator and entered heaven, or so it at first seemed.

Awed by Surroundings. Trills and runs, piping and warbling. Lo-Ching was overcome by the volume of song, and could only stand in a -fixity of astonishment. "A bird, you want?" someone asked him. "Yes," said Lo-Ching, "a yellow bird, please; one that will nicely sing." Then, deliberately, Lo-Chlng pointed to a tiny fat bird of brightest yellow, with fluffy wings and small pink feet.

It was not possible, in the confusion, to hear the song of this little chap, but Lo-Chlng had made up his mind. He must have that bird, and he must also have the yellow bamboo cage for him, eo that his bird would be a truly Chinese bird. Lo-Ching paid his money and went straight home with his big package punctured with air holes. Pondera Silence. All day he waited for the little yellow bird to sing and when night came and silence was unbroken in the bamboo cage.

Lo-Ching wondered and grew solemn. Time passed and the heart of Lo-Chlng was heavy, for his little yellow bird sang not. Friday morning Lo-Chlng came down to his kitchen and looked in at his Uttle yellow bird. In so far as canaries can, the bird was blushing furiously. On the cage floor by "his" side lay a little white egg.

Victim, Found Tied in Burning Home, Charged With Arson Two Things at once 3 Self-contradictory stories and a bundle left on a chair were held re sponsible for the appearance of Albert Pierro, 23, of 204 Avenue in the Flatbush Police Court today on a charge of arson.

Fred Belnjes of 206 Avenue smelled smoke yesterday as he was passing Pierro's home and investigated. He found Pierro lying on the floor of his apartment gagged and with his hands apparently tied behind his back. There was a fire in the bedroom and another In the dining room. The fires were extin guished by firemen with slight dam age to the apartment. Pierro told the police that he had A Cook and By ALAN Lo-Chlng (not quite his real name but near enough) likes birds.

He likes them alive, and he likes also to prepare them in tempting fashion for the table. Lo-Chlng is cook for a lady and gentleman in St. James pi. Often, during solitary and unoccupied hours In tne kitchen, he has wished for a little bird in a cage, a pleasant little yellow bird that wouid sing away some of the dullness of the pre-prandial hours. Last week Lo-Chlng saw an advertisement in the evening newspaper, and learned that a great store had a thousand Uttle yellow birds to sell, tuneful canaries at the trifling price of $2.98 apiece.

As he read, the slanted eyes of Lo-Ching shone with happiness. Fulfillment of his desire had come, as lt always does to him who waits serenely. Happy at Thought. Friday morning Lo-Ching polished the breakfast crumbs away with unusual dispatch. Already he could fancy there was music in the kitchen, and his Oriental spirit was blithe as he left the house, with five dollars in his pocket and the name of the great store carefully in mind.

In the draf ty blackness of the sub way, that Lo-Ching usually hated, he was oblivious to surroundings. His habitually unexcited being was stirred, and his mind was filled with little yellow birds When he reached the great store, Lo-Ching Inquired in his politely precise manner the way to the little yellow birds. Clerks and floorwalkers smiled at the grave little Chinaman with his flat-crowned hat and If you're down town any Monday evening, remember we're open until seven that evening.
