THREE CENTS. POLES ARE MOVING TO THE NORTHWARD IN UPPER SILESIA Hold All But. Few Large Towns Italians Sur. rounded by 3,000 Poles. (By the Associated Press.) Oppeln Upper Silesia, May 4-Organized 1 ish forces, estimated at 20,000, haw occupied all of Upper Silesia south of a line running from Kosel Tarnowitz, with the exception of a few large towns, and are moving further northward, according to information supplied by a member of the Interallied representation here.

Today, according to this source, the he Poles are marching into Gross Strehlitz, north of the line mentioned, in a well-ordered manner, using motor lorries and being supplied with rifles, machine guns and dynamite. Italian troops at Rybnik, well south in the plebiscite area, comprising a regiment of infantry and two machine gun companies, are surrounded by 3,000 Poles, and a pitched battle has been going on for several hours, the informant stated this afternoon. The Italian known dead are three officers, one of them of high rank, and 12 privates. Warsaw, May 4-The insurrectionary movement in Upper Silesia, begun suddenly Monday night, spread rapidly in the districts of Beuthen, Pless, Rybnik and Tarnowitz. According to the newspapers, a Polish civilian fighting organization occupied Kattowitz and other towns after machine gun encounters with the Germans, but French 1 troops finally controlled the situation.

Newspaper extras last evening reported eight Poles killed and 16 wounded in the Kattowitz region in clashes with the Germans, in which the Poles attempted to gain control of the districts bordering upon the Polish frontier. For a time the Poles were in power in these districts, but the Interallied Commission intervened and quiet was eventually restored. Adalbert Korfanty, the Polish plebisite commissioner in Upper Silesia, has been recalled, because he exceeded his powers, it was announced today. dispatches yesterday announced that Commissioner Korfanty had issued a proclamation criticizing the reported decision 1 of the Interallied Commission assigning the greater part of Upper Silesia to Germany, the commissioner disclaiming responsibility for possible violence which he believed would follow confirm ation of the rumors regarding the Commission's Alarm Felt in Paris. Paris, May 4-The French Government, it was learned today, has strongly impressed upon the Government at Warsaw the grave consequences to Polish interests likely to result from a Polish uprising in Upper Silesia.

French infantry, with tanks, have succeeded clearing Beuthen and Kattowitz of rioters, but the utmost apprehension exists here as to the development of the movement, which according to offcial advices was provoked by articles in the German newspapers announcing that the Supreme Council had decided to give Germany all of Upper Silesia, with the exception of a small part of the mining region. French Fight Insurgents. still fighting the the London, May Brenchutroops are Kattowitz district of Upper Silesia, and a number of Italian officers and men have been wounded in clashes with insurgent units at Tarnowitz, according to the latest reports received in British official circles. A very serious view is taken in offcial quarters here of the movement, which is characterized as a systematic effort to anticipate the decision of the Supreme Council by the forcible seizure of the area in dispute. 10 U.

S. DRY AGENTS OF BORO DETAILED FOR WORK UP-STATE Ten agents of the Federal Prohibition enforcement staff in Brooklyn were today transferred to Syracuse for "special work" to be done there. With the absence of Harold B. Dobbs, the supervising officer, who has been away, also up- State, for the past two weeks, this leaves the Federal force here reduced to some 20 men, in charge of John H. Davis, Dobbs's assistant.

The transfer of these men has revived the rumor in the Federal ing that the entire Federal enforcement office here may be abolished. Ever since the State Mullan-Gage law went into effect and the police started going after the saloonkeepers, the Federal men have had little visible accomplishment to their credit. The last arrest made by them was on April 19 and the one previous to that was on 1 April 6. There has been a total of three arrests in the past six weeks. Particularly during Dobbs's absence the Federal agents have been willing to let the police do it all.

The men saunter into the office each morning and wait for an assignment from Davis. After getting it they go out; and what they do then nobody knows. According to both Dobbs and Davis they are busied on special work with the purpose of stopping the liquor at its source. One arrest, the last one made, brought ten men into court and disclosed the operations of a powerful widespread whisky ring. Following a conference yesterday between police and Federal representatives, was announced today that an agreement had been reached which would obviate any further clashes between the two enforcement agencies in getting the city dry.

Those who attended the conference were: Deputy Police Commissioner Leach, A. D. Van Doren, head of the legal department of the Prohibition forces in Washington, and State Prohibition Director Charles R. O'Connor. The meeting took place at Police Headquarters and it was agreed to exchange all information which might lead to running down the bootleggers.

The May Grand Jury yesterday dismissed 11 of the 21 cases of alleged violation of the State liquor law which were presented to them by Assistant District Attorney Marshal Snyder. These were the first batch of cases of this nature presented to the new Grand Jury, and so carefully did they go into each case that they worked until a late hour yesterday. Most of the cases dismissed were where the defendants had liquor on their premises for personal consump- ition and cases where the liquor was tound on the "hip."

TELEPHONE CO. FELL $6,000,000 SHORT OF EARNING DIVIDEND Annual Report for 1920 Shows Drop of $9,000,000 in Net Income From 1919. The New York Telephone Company, which has just put in effect an advance in rates to subscribers, today made public its annual report for the year 1920, and officials of the company pointed to the report as the reason for the advance in rates. The company fell short by $6,000,000 of earning the 8 percent dividend on its $150,000,000 outstanding stock. The dividend was paid at the 8 percent rate, amounting to $12,000,000, but the company had to draw on its surplus of $38,000,000 for the $6,000,000 shortage in earnings.

The advance in rates was figured some months ago. with the aim of meeting the dividend requirements, and although the earnings of the company in the city of New York during March were at the rate of only of 1 percent on the outstanding stock, the new rates are expected to bring the net return up to the figures aimed at. It is stated for the company that if prices of materials decline to such an extent that operations can be put on a paying basis by the end of the year, there may be a refund to subscribers. The principal items in the increased operating expenses in 1920 were labor and materials. The company did not desire to reduce its dividend, for the reason that it has before it considerable on financing to do for expansion of plant.

This financing is expected to amount to $50,000,000 or $60,000,000 in the coming year. The New York Telephone stock is all owned by the A. T. T. The principal items in the annual report of the New York company are the following: 1920.

The American Sugar Refining Company brought its price to the trade down 10. points to the 6.50 level today, following a reduction by some of the other refiners, and the American's cut was promptly followed by a similar cut by Warner. It is not unlikely that the consumer will be able to buy sugar at 7 cents a pound retail, especially at the chain stores, in the course of a week or two.

The drop in price has amounted to a cent and a half wholesale in the last few weeks, the level having been 8 cents for a long time. SENATE TO PROBE RISE IN R. R.

Washington, May 4-An Impending fight in the Senate against the Administration's desire to defer consideration of naval disarmament proposals was forecast today by the re-introdution by Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, of his resolution to "authorize and the President to call representatives of Great Britain and Japan into A disarmament conference. Senator Borah also Aled a motion to suspend the Senate rules in an effort to pave the way for early consideration of his measure.

He and other disarmament advocates plan to press the issue. President Harding is known to have communicated to leaders in both the Senate and House his desire that action on disarmament proposals be deferred because of the present state of international relations. Washington, May 4-Proposals for international disarmament are to be delayed for the present in the House under a decision understood to have been reached today by Republican House leaders. This is said to square with the desire of President Harding not to have the disarmament question agitated in Congress in the present state of international relations. Various suggestions for a disarmament declaration either in the Naval Appropriation bill or as separate I House measure and have Senate, been put but their forward in sponsors the are expected to receive no help from the Republican managers in urging immediate action.

Mr. Harding is said to have told all although the present. Administration WAS pledged to reduction of armament, he did not consider the present time opportune for such a movement 'in view of the delicate situation abroad. He is u1 had in mind some steps looking toderstood to have indicated that he ward an international conference on disarmament at the proper time. HYLAN VETOES BILL FOR AN ADDITIONAL MUNICIPAL JUSTICE Mayor Hylan today disapproved the bill providing for an additional justice in the fourth municipal court district of Brooklyn.

He also vetoed the act passed by the Legislature authorizing the city to employ a force of parkkeepers to do the work now performed by policemen in protecting the city's public parks against vandalism. As to the former bill pressure on the Mayor to sign it was not very strong, and he disapproved it on the ground that not one dollar of additional expense that could possibly be avoided should be saddled on the city at this time when there is not money enough in sight to meet the cost of the schaal system. in favor of the bill. Senator Charles Lockwood appeared: But the veto of the other measure will be a great disappointment to the Park Commissioner, who maintained that the city would save about a quarter million dollars a year by employing park keepers instead of policemen. Park Commissioner John N.

Harmen at the public hearing told the Mayor he could get good men for parkkeepers at $1,500 a. year, considerably below the salary paid policemen on park duty, and that in addition to the saving on that score thousands of dollars of damage now done by children and vandals could be prevented. Mayor Hylan has now cleaned up the 130 bills sent him for approval from Albany.

the statement says, and since they have never been discharged from such service they are still regarded as part of the military forces and liable to trial by court-martial for desertion in time of war. "In justice to more than 000 men who came forward and registered for service," the annonucement concludes, "the War Department is determined that steps shall be taken to apprehend and bring to trial every man found guilty of willful desertion." Germany Blundered in Preparing Appeal to U.S., Says Frankfort Gazette Berlin, May 4 (By the Associated Press) -Commenting on the note of Secretary Hughes declining to transmit the German reparations offer to the Allies, the Frankfort Gazette today says: "The failure of our appeal to President Harding. which WAS prompted by a false of I conditions and was insuficiently prepared, means the irreparable loss of time and the serious weakening of our position. Secretary Hughes's answer is more than mere refusal; it is tantamount to A reprimand." This German Liberal organ. however, does not interpret the answer A8 indicating that the United States not intend to contribute to the relief of the European situation.

It believed the Washington Government will endeavor to exert a moderating influence upon the Allies. The Taeglische Rundschau says it does not believe, in spite of the "brusque and acrimonious tenor' of the American refusal. that the Washington Government has as yet spoken the last word, It expresses belief that the appeal to the United States ultimately will prove ductive beneficial results. STILLMAN EMPLOYEES FROM CANADA TELL ABOUT INDIAN GUIDE Testimony Taken in Secret. Banker's Whereabouts Hidden.

Wife Dodges Reporters. Employees of James A. Stillman's woodland estate at Three Rivers, Canada, were called as witnesses today upon the resumption of the referee's hearings in Mr. Stillman's suit for divorce from Mrs. Anna Urquhart Potter Stillman, which were conducted in secret a consultation room of the Bar Association, at 42 W.

44th Manhattan. During the morning session, which lasted from 10:30 until 12:30 o'clock, only one witness was heard. George Adams, a carpenter on the estate, gave testimony regarding the contents of an affidavit made by him last year. This affidavit concerned his observations of the relations Mrs. Stillman and Fred K.

Beauvale, the -Canadian guide, Mr. Stillman charges is the father of Mrs. Stillman's child, Guy Stillman. Three other witnesses were awaiting their turn when the hearing was adjourned until 2 o'clock. one woman and two men.

They are French Cantdians, also employees of the Stillman Three Rivers estate, and Francois Lajoie, a Canadian lawyer, tppeared with them to act as interpreter. Mra. Stillman was an interested listener to Adams's testimony. She was among the first to reach the building, tnd ahe glanced with a smile at the reporters and photographers that threatened to close in her, but repelled attempts to question her. She wore a black crepe gown, cut modishly short, black enamel boots and a seal coat trimmed with astrakan.

She appeared to be in a very pleasant frame of mind and gasped in mock terror when she started to leave the building and found that the news army had been doubled during her stay in the Referee's room. She was accompanied by a mysterious person, a man whose identity defled both reporters and lawyers in the case. She brought him to the building in her car, and carried him away, John B. Stanchfield and A. I.

Smith, her attorneys, were equally reticent. John E. Mack, appointed guardian for Guy Stillman during the litigation, said that he would not bring his charge to the hearings, and that was all. Mr. Stillman did not appear.

His whereabouts are not known to any except his lawyers, who were unwilling to talk. Nevertheless, ag reat many impressive lawyers, who chanced to enter the Bar Association Building during the hearings, were snapped by the photographers and trailed around by reporters, until such suspects halted in perplexity and made known their identities. GLYNN PREDICTS CALDTR WILL BE RENOMINATED Albany, May 4-Republican State Chairman George A. Glynn today predicted the renomination of United States Senator Calder, of Brooklyn. "He will be renominated without question," said Mr.

Glynn. "Why should it be otherwise? The suggestion that he should or would be turned down is absurd. He is one of the best men in the Senate for the whole people, and he is laways mindful of their interests and doing something for them. Senator Calder's record speaks for itself and is an eloquent plea for his renomination." ACCEPTS STEEL WAGE CUT? A report gained currency in Wall Street this afternoon that the employees of the U. S.

Steel Corporation would accept, without opposition, the cut of 20 percent in wages announced late yesterday by Judge Gary. U. S. Steel on the stock market moved up into new high ground for the year, above 85. Other industrials recovered from a previous reaction.

Germany to Claim Right to Pay Only P. C. Interest By S. B. CONGER.

'By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Philadelphia Public Ledger: Copyright, 1921.) Berlin, May 4---It looks more and more. to diplomatic observers here as if Germany would appeal to the wording of the Peace Treaty and maintain that according to the Treaty's letter and intent it is bound to pay for the present only the percent interest on 40,000,000,000 marks of gold bonds and on the unpaid balance of 12,000,000,000 marks due May 1. Germans base their contention on Paragraph 12 of the second annex to reparations section of the Peace Treaty under which the nation is obliged to issue bonds for 40,000,000,000 marks plus any unsatisfled balance May 1 with interest at percent till 1926 and thereafter 5 percent and 1 percent into the sinking fund. They contend that the spirit of the Treaty bars the issue of a further installment of 40,000.000,000 marks at 5 percent and any other issues until the commission is satisfied by the showing on the first interest payment that Germany can meet such interest and sinking fund obligations. GERMANY DENIES HAVING MADE NEW OFFER TO ALLIES Cabinet Official Says Government Cannot Make "Direct Proposals" Hughes Requests.

Ry Associated Press.) London, 4-A German ometal What dispatch from Berlin this afternoon says there is 110 foundation for the report that Germany has made a new reparations offer to the Allies. London. May 4-Reports that new German propositions relative to the reparation question had been received, which were current in this city last night, were denied this morning by Louis Loucheur, Minister of Libcrated Itegions in the French Cabinet. The Commission met financial perts of various governments this forenoon and examined plans agreed upon ty the council relative to the payment of reparations by Germany, and the issuance of bonds. It was announced that Commission would take part the meeting of the Supreme Council, which was to begin at 3 o'clock.

Allies' Financial Plan in Two Parts. The Allied governments' financial plan for Germany, which seemed to be a completed document yesterday, was being separated today by members of the Reparations Commission into two parts. One of these is the purely legal portion, conforming to the Treaty of Versailles, while the other chiefly relates to the guarantee bonds. which it is planned to issue as security for the German payment and the rates of interest upon these mecurities, these questions being outside the provisions of the treaty. It is not possible to determine yet precisely what specifications will be presented to Germany, but according to present intentions the Reparations Commission will send to the German Government Friday A.

bill of liabilities, strictly in compliance with the Peace Treaty, while simultaneously the Allied Governments will send other part of their plan, as a modincation of the Treaty favorable to Germany, and which she can accept or not. German Cabinet in Session. Berlin, May 4-The German Cabinet met this forenoon in anticipation of discussing developments at London, Just how long the Fehrenbach Cabinet will continue in office is believed to depend on the nature of the ultimatum being sent to Berlin by the Allies, and the attitude assumed by the Reichstag. The parliamentary situation had not been wholly clarifed last night. While the Berlin government WAS not unprepared for the refusal to transmit the German reparations proposal to the, Allies, contained in the American State Department's reply to Foreign Minister Simons, received yesterday, both the Foreign Minister and his colleagues in the Cabinet had hoped that Secretary Hughes's answer would be a trifle more precise in inof dicating the American interpretation "clear, defnite and adequate proposals." To this extent the American answer left the Cabinet in a confused state of mind, it was stated.

Speaking unofficially for the government a Cabinet official stated the American reply had left the Cabinet in a. quandary in that It failed to point out the direction in which the German proposals were lacking or unsuitable for transmission. What Are "Direct "We are not clear in our minds just what the United States Government means in connection with its suggestion that we make direct proposals," the government's spokesman declared. instance, it is obviously difficult for us to make clear and definite proposals because, for one thing, we are dependent upon a multitude of economic factors which we do not control. This is one of the reasons don why we suggested the installation of a commission of experts to pass productive capacity.

"We would have welcomed most heartily any positive suggestion from Washington and would have been equally anxious to carry it out. The present reply, however. is doubly negative in that it fails to give, us even a cue or suggestion as how our counter -proposals might have been amended or wrought into a suitable instrument for fresh negotiations."

Father Bernard Vaughan officiated. The bride's father gave his daughter away and her brother, H. Gordon Selfridge acted as best man.

The bride wore a gown of white satin with an embroidered tunic of white tulle. trimmed with lace that once belonged to Marie Antoinette, the gift of the bridegroom's father.

The five bridesmaids wore frocks of shell Georgette and rose trimmed hats." PRINCESS ANASTASIA SAILS FOR PARIS VIA BRINDISI On the first issue this would obligate Germany to pay until 1926 only interest amounting to 1.300.000,000 marks annually or 3 3,300,000,000 marks if the Reparations Commission determined to call immediately for the second 40,000,000,000 of bonds.

Diplomats here see no possibility that the Entente Powers will accept any such contention, particularly the proposed limitation of Germany payments to 1,300,000,000 marks a year during the first lustrum, since the letter of the Treaty permits the Commission to call for interest and sinking fund payments on the full amount of the German obligation anytime the Commission concluded that payment is within German possibility. The Eagle-Ledger correspondent believes, however, that it is fair to Germany to recall that at the Paris Conference it was understood, by some, at least, of the American economic delegates that only the first two instalments of 20.000,000,000 and 60,000,000,000 would be called at the outset--the interest thereon beginning only in 1921-and that the further instalment of 40.000.000,000 marks, to complete the round 000,000.000. might and probably never would be exacted.

Leeds the Grand Duchess Marie and her two daughters, one of whom, the Princess Xenia, is engaged to marry young Leeds, left for Brindisi this morning on a private yacht.
