Baldwin, L. July 10 If Frank Tinney, the comedian who went to Lorjlon some months ago after some striking adventures with Imogens Wilson, as revealed In the New York criminal courts, wants to come back to Mrs. Edna Tinney, his wife, she'll take him back. That is, she'll take him back if he "turns over 1a new leaf and sticks to It." Mrs.

Tinney was in bed'at 10 a.m. today when the query was brought to her as to what she will do if Frank returns. A report had been printed that he was penniless In London, and homesick and repentant. She remained in bed, but sent down an answer by the maid. Tinney Not Broke, Says Wife.

"Frank Tinney is not down and out, and he Isn't broke. He can take care of himself. But If he wants to turn over a new leaf and stick to it, I'll take him back It he wants ta come back." The indications were that he does want to come back. Two or three cablegrams a week have been re 7th A. D.

Washington, July 10 The month of August will probably witness funding negotiations in AVashington for the enormous sum of due the United States on account of war debts-It has become impossible to regard this affair with complete seriousness. Comment in our newspapers, at first taking these negotiations in profound good faith, has shown a recent tendency to jeer. The backing and filling of European chancelleries, the frantic search for a formula under which payment can be avoided, the obvious reluctance of any one power to move first all this has aroused great skepticism among well-informed Americans. And when our people begin to wax skeptical, there usually Is good reason. General Conference on Debts Prob able.

One of the delightful aspects of the coming negotiates is the circumstance that the Administration will find itself involved in something approaching a general conference on war debts. The official attitude has always been that a round-table discussion would be fraught with danger for the United States. The Administration has rejected any suggestion of general negotiation. It has insisted that our Government deal with its debtors one at a time. To put it colloquially, It was felt that American negotiators had suffi cient shrewdness and sagacity to deal singly wlth'any European Power, but it was thought wiser not to confront the statesmen of an insolvent Eu rope en mass.

As it has turned out, however, the Administration is going to deal with three great debtor nations at one and the same moment. The Belgian and Italian debt commissions will open negotiations in Washington in August, and it is expected that a French commission will also arrive. The total debt owing from these three Powers Is $7,000,000,000 Speaking of the reluctance of the Administration to meet its European debtors in a group, Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi once said: "I have heard of debtors being afraid to meet their creditors, but I have never heard before of a creditor being afraid to meet his debtors." Problem an Obvious Whole. The Administration Will technically deal with each Power as a separate entity, but the problem is an obvious whole, and the final settlement will be, In a sense, an inclusive one. The sum of seven billions of dol lars is a huge one.

A French wit has described this affair as "a ver tiginous dance of figures hurtling into an abyss." For the average person to conceive of seven billions is like attempting to the 90,000.000 miles between earth and sun. The saving feature is that seven billions in cash, or anything ap proaching cash, is not involved. The problem of Secretary Mellon and his colleagues is simply how to make one billion, let us say, look like seven. Mellon Must Blow Hard. Mr.

Mellon Is a slim person, of no great wind, and he is going to have to blow very hard to swell one billion to look like seven. You can conceive of the final agreement as a balloon, into which will be pumped the gas, or warm air, of a mora torlum and a low interest rate. The performance will be a diplomatic achievement of the first rank. The Administration hopes that no evil person will stick a pin into it and explode it. But It is very doubtful whether Senator Pat Harrison and some other Democrats, who are rather good at sticking pins into balloons, will behave themselves when Congress meets.

Koreans Try to Blow Up Imperial Palace at Tokyo Tokyo, July 10 04) The newspaper Kokumin states that four Ko-teans a fortnight ago gained entrance to the Imnerisl palace with bombs. Two wer? captured and two escaped, but were later captured en-route to Korea. The bombs did not explode and no one was injured. The Emperor and Empress are spending the summer at Mlkko.

RIVERAS SINKING Wrecking Crew Works All Night to Save Big Thomas P. Neal. The Munson Line freighter Thomas P. Beal, partially filled with water, is In the Ea3t River off the foot of B. 3d Manhattan, today, listing about 35 degrees, following an all night struggle to keep her from sinking with her $600,000 cargo of mahogany and other expensive lumber.

The vessel struck a reef that runs from Rlvlng-to to 10th about 8 o'clock last night, and was in danger of sinking. The damaged vessel had been sailing down the river with the assistance of a tug when it- was believed that the reef, which Is known to all harbor men. had been passed, the tug took off her lines and the Thomas P. Beal proceeded under her own power. Scraped Bottom on Reef.

The tug was only a short distance away when the freighter scraped the reef heavily. Within a few minutes, bunkers 1 and 2 conalned 21 feet of water and the water was pouring In rapidly. Radio calls for assistance were sent out and the Merrltt, Chapman Scott Corporation of 17 Battery dispatched its two largest lighters, the Resolute and the Chapman Brothers. The lighters reached the rapidly filling boat about 9 o'clock. At1 midnight the inrushlng water stilled the boat's dynamos, cutting off the lights and radio.

Just before the electricity whs stopped, the radio operator aboard the freighter was still signaling for additional assistance. At 4 o'clock this morning It seemed the boat would sink and the crew of 60 men were removed. Redoubling their efforts crews on the wrecking vessels managed to keep the damaged freighter afloat. Dumps Oil Overboard. The Thomas P.

Beal is an oil burner and during the night several thousand gallons of oil were expelled from the vessel. The Merrltt, Chapman and Scott Corporation decided early today to send additional boats and 75 more men to carry on the work. They will attempt to float the boat to a dry dock, but, falling in this effort, will bring floating docks alongside the damaged vessel and lift her from the water sufficiently to permit moving her. the Thomas P. Beal had just arrived from Western ports and bringing her valuable cargo to this port by way of the Panama Canal.

Most of the mahogany was assigned to Charles R. McCormack, of 17 Battery pi. In addition to the mahogany, the cargo included a large quantity of wood to be used in airplane construction. The vessel Is owned by the United States Shipping Board, leased by the Eastern Steamship Line, which In turn chartered the boat to the Munson Line. DOCTOR SHORTAGE IN U.S.

AND CANADA REPORTED SERIOUS (Special toThe Eaple.) Toronto, July 10 Scarcity of doctors in United States and Canada has become serious, many small communities being without any physician, declared Dr. J. William Bohrer, Brooklyn osteopath, who is attending the convention of the International Osteopathic Association here. Two towns of 8,500 and 8,500 population in Pennsylvania boast of but one physician. In Massachusetts 73 towns are without regular physicians.

Statistics published show that in 1901 there were 159 medical collenes In the United States and Canada and 5,444 medical graduates. In 1 924 colleges had shrunk to 81 and graduates to 3,200 a reduction of nearly half in each. In rural sections, notably East and South, the average age of a physician is 62 years, Dr. Bohrer said, and with almost no young doctors coming It may be seen that day is not far distant when many sections will be without medical care. The -causes for this shortage of doctors are given as: 1.

The cost of medical education has increased to such extent and entrance requirements have been raised so high that not many young men are able to consider medicine as a profession. Only 400 In New York City each year are graduated as doctors. The cost for tuition alone Is $500 a year, not including incidentals. 2. Population of country is Increasing and more doctors are needed.

Country or family doctors are gradually disappearing. S. city doctors are turning spe cialists. The general practitioners are too few. Such doctors are used most by the great mass of people.

4. There are not enougn scnoois for doctors. The picture of "Old Family Doc tni- whnne huecv niluht be seen at anv hou of the day or night driving through town or standing at the door of a remote farmouae, Is being ranidlv replaced by that of the over worked modern physician, who has no time for travej required by rural practice and who must take as his center the more tnicmy populated districts, where the greatest number of patients may be treated In the minimum of time. The only solution to the problem it was said seems to be to permit boys and girls who cannot afford more than four years of high school four years of professional school to ret their training. They will then have less invested and can afford to practice in a community which does not afford the income possible in cities.

To require more than a high school education as a preliminary to mainc ulatlon in a professional school and a four-year professional course thereatfer tends, in the words of president Butler of Columbia University, "to create a body of laboratory specialists rather than general phy slclans."

I walked through a great hall with marble pillars into a salon like one of the state apartments at Versailles, Illuminated iy Immense candelabra of precious Venetian glass.

The walls were hune with French and Flemish tapestries and pictures. ay great masters, among tnem a lovely Goya. In other rooms were fine bronzes and beautiful statuary, with Persian rugs ana a great divan, on the polished boards elesminir halnw th shaded lamps. In the library was a. priceless collection of early printed books, worth, I mi toM, millions of dollars.

Eight footmen stood behind the Louise Qulnze chairs as the company was seated in the dining room a company of all the great Him stars among whom were Germans, Danes, Russians, English and Americans. 1 There was different wine at every course In glasses that were beautiful to see and touch. It was a superb banquet, given by that little old gentleman who, as someone whispered to me, is one of the Ave richest men In Germanv, but very simrle in his manners and self-effacing among the guest. It was the night afterward that I went to the Nacht Asyl, at the other end of the social scale. German Influence.

Upon the Future. Here, then, are some glimpses of the contrasts of life in Germany; but as yet I have said nothing as to the way these people look upon life, their various-views and philosophies, their ideals and hopes and politics. It is well to find out something about that and write it down, as fairly as one can. Because the future of Europe depends a great deal perhaps entirely for peace or war upon the thoughts and emotions now working among this great, vigorous people. To some extent they are recovering from the neurotic state Into which they inevitably fell after their defeat in the war, their long agony In the war for it was that and the humiliations, economic pressure, mental torture inflicted upon them after the war.

Change in German Mentality. Now I find German mentality has changed. There Is no longer black despair and so the temper has altered, too. in many classes. The London Agreement, the trade treaties with England and France, the release of the Ruhr, the revival of industry, the postponement of crushing payments have steadied the German pulse.

The main boy of the people are thinking again in terms of reason and not in terms of passion. Still Vowing Vengeance. The old passions, hatreds and traditions are as strong as ever in the minds of those who by education and profession cannot escape from them while they live. Round the tables of little restaurants at Potsdam, as In many1 othei places, sit groups of ex-orftcers. They have no Job in life, now that Government officials have been "under the axe" for the sake of national economy.

Hour after hour they vow vengeance against France, eternal hatred of England. It is natural. It is all they have to do. Here and there, in Bavaria and elsewhere, generals put on their spiked helmets and ex -officers their steel helms and war decorations, and there are drillings and parades, with some of the old pomp of the past. "Why not?" I was asked by a German official at the Foreign Office.

"It gives them something to do, poor They would go mad otherwise." No Wur in Tills Generation. It is no threat to the world. In the opinion of all Germans I have met, thers will be no war again In this generation. They ask the Allies not to make a fuss about a few rifles hidCen here and there by some of these old militarists. They are no threat to France and the world only a menace to German anarchists and poking up this sort of thing by Allied Inspection only plays Into the hands of the Nationalists.

The German people want to be left alone. Like many other people in the world they want to manage their own affairs within their own frontiers, without being irritated and hu miliated by foreign control, which only stirs up the old hae-stuff now dying down, and plays into tne hands of the militarists. The old hate-stuff is forgotten except by people who learn nothing and forget nothing like the university professors of the old school, still living In a world of their own, still preaching the old philosophy of German Might and Kultur to their students, and like the Nationalist politicians and the old high-and-dry conservatives and they hate England more than France because of her Imperial power, and dream of a Continental block against Great Britain Germany, France, Russia, united against the mangy old Lion whose paws are spread across the world. "All nonsense!" said a German statesman who admitted to me that these ideas exist. "The dreams of crazy old men living in the Colonies a Biological Need.

Their great desire as a nation Is to be spared continual and unnecessary humiliations from foreign powers and to regain complete Independence within their frontiers with some outlet for their superfluous energy In colonial possessions. The last is a biological need. It would pay the world to give them back their colonies, nnd others In addition. Those ex-officers who talk politics at Potsdam and at' other centers of military thoup would get Jobs to do uhd find fields for ttfelr energy. That sense of a great people being bottled up would be relieved.

There would be some way gf escape for an over-population of something like 20,000,000. Some time In the future the German folK must get out or break ou-according to history and nature. They are anxious now, many of them, to come into the League of Nations and to take an equal part in the counsels of the world. But they cannot do so If they have to pledge themselves to regard the Treaty of Versailles as unchange-able by God or man, and the present frontiers on the new' map of Europe as equally unalterable. The moat liberal among them are willing to Join the League without such a pledge, hoping that by reasonable arrangement In course of time, and with world consent, their point of view may he admitted in cases of vital Importance to world peace.

They do not deny the neell of French security, hut they wish to avoid a hostile bloo between England. France and. other nations which would force them Into the ne-cesMty of establishing a counter balance, leading inevitably to another world conflict. Liberal opinion In Germany favors a British-Franco-German understanding, with mutual guarantees against aggressive war. Tomorrow Kgypt Would Cast off Foreign Yoke and Hun Her Own Affairs.

sioner has given the company to aid in the fight. The Mayor has written Corpora tion Counsel Nicholson in part as follows: "Transit Commissioner Harkness gave the Long Island Railroad a club to use with its higher commuta tion rate petition when he approved the rental agreement between the Long Island Railroad Company and the Pennsylvania Tunnel and Terminal Company. Says Commisxion Aids "Interests." "I cannot help but observe that this case has been true to the type of. decisions which the Transit Commission has been handing down for the past three years. It illustrates admirably how the decisions have consistently leaned the com- panles, have presented the facts in the light of corporate interests, ana have given too much weight to technicalities and too little to fundamental public rights which the Transit Commission was appotnted to safeguard.

"Commissioner Harkness states in his opinion that the issue had to be considered strictly as a rental case, having nothing to do with ates that the company might seek to charge. But the fact Is that the Increase in rental could serve no other purpose and would not benefit the respective companies in any way except through an increase in rates charged to the Fare Increase Real Issue. "Both the Terminal Company and the Long Island Company are owned and controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, consequently any Increase in rentals, if not followed by higher fares, would be merely transferring money from one Pennsylvania pocket to another without affecting the public. The issue, therefore, plainly involved the higher commutation rates sought by the Long Island and should not have been disregarded on technical grounds." Harkness Challenges Commissioner Harkness said: "In passing on matters Such as this the Transit Commission Is required to act in a Judicial capacity if decisions are subject to review by the courts. If Mayor Hylan considers the Judgment of the Commission fo be erroneous his remedy is to go at once to the Appellate Division.

I challenge him to do this." MADE ARDENT LOVE TO MARRIED WOMAN Suave of manner and immacu'atMy dressed, Michael Russro Fecoraro, 23, a native of Italy, now living at 1053 Willoughby learned the Hmita tions of masculine charm in Gates Ave. Court this morning, where the unwilling object' of his affections, Mrs. Ella Adams, of 1252 DeKulb avei, charged him with disorderly conduct. When Mrs. Adams toM Magistrate Kayflel how Pecoraro, teeing her at the window of her apartment, climbed In, seized her a passionate embrace and smothered her screams with kisses, Pecoraro was put under a $200 bond to insure his better behavior.

"He said if he could have me he didn't care if he died," Mrs. Adams testified, and Pecoraro, speaking through an interpreter, admitted it was so. He loved the lady, he told the and would like to live with her always. It made no difference to htm that she is married and the mother of two children, he said. Things like he would overlook for the sake ot her beauty.

Plana and drwln of construction work mar ba sesa there ST IS SWAN'S BELIEF Register's Clerk Says Rob beries Continue McQuade Insists They're Stopped.

Today's indications were that there is little chance that immediate steps will be taken to stop the thefts of government revenue stamps from the Register's office. Joseph Swan, who told The Eagle yesterday that thieves in his department took as much as $100 worth of stamps a day, reiterated his stand today, and said: "I am still convinced that these thefts are going on. And 1 am further convinced that the stamps are being taken by some one in the employ of this office. I believe that it is only one man. I haven't any idea who he is, but I know that If Rafferty would send a Secret Service man down here the culprit would be caught in no time." Swan made this statement afier he was told of the denial made by Register James A.

McQuade, whose office Is but a few doors distant from Swan's. "The courts have ruled that the responsibility In this matter not ours," is the opinion of the Register. "But aside from this there are no thefts. We bad some trouble last October, but that has disappeared." The law which makes it compulsory for persons filing deeds or other papers in the Register's office to cancel the Government's revenue stamps themselves appears today as the largest loophole through which thieves making a business of stealing these stamps operate. Clerk's Hands Are Tied.

This statute makes it impossible for the clerk to whom the paper is offered for recording to know whether the stiunps were canceled on that paper or on a previous document from which they were removed and sold at cut rate prices. Here is the way the same law would work if It were applied to the postal system': A would appear at the postofTtce with a letter bearing a canceled stamp. Ha would show it to a postal employee and tell that, in accordance with the law, he had personally canceled the stamp. would take the letter without further argument and Instruct a letter carrier to deliver it. The letter carrier could easily remove the stamp and sell it at half price to another person who would appear at the postofflce with the same canceled stamp and receive 2 cents worth of service from the department at the cost of half that amount.

Obviously, if the law required that stamps Bhould be canceled by the clerk who received the paper in the Register's office and not by the person offering It, the stamp theft evil would at once be cut down to a minimum If not cut out entirely. When asked for his opinion of such a change. Swan said: "We handle an average of 1,100 papers a day. It would be Impossible for us to cancel these stamps ourselves with the present force of workers." Register McQuade told The Eagle todav that prior to his complaint to Rafferty last October, the Register's office had an antiquated mutilating machine located in tne recoramg office for the use of the public. He hr Id the public objected to go ing to the trouble of using the device and that it eventually necame so clogged with dust ana so ouapiaaiea from lack of use and care that It was consigned to the dump heap.

It was then, McQuaae saia, mat he called a conference of his asso-ita onrt thev hit upon the idea of the stapling machine, which, The Eagle pointed out yesterday, merely keeps the stamp irom lauins u.l iur paper and is but a slight hindrance to thieves.

Wall, Street Transactions Bona Fide, Says Bridgers Editor Brooklyn Dally Eagle: As a daily reader of The Eagle for the past thirty years I feel privileged to protest and complain of the "heading" on the front page of today's Eagle, reading "In 'Imaginary' Wall Street Deals." This heading, In my opinion, gives the impression that the transactions which I made for the account of Sidney Gold were not bona-flde, whereas each and every transaction was made In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Consolidated Stock Exchange of New York of which I am a member.

guest Saturday and Sunday, either at White Court or on board the Mayflower. There had been no revelation early today as to whether the Secretary, of State would take up with the President some urgent matter concerning foreign affairs or whether he and Mr, Coolidge would simply go over departmental and routine matters, in preparation for Mr. Kellogg' return to Washington at the conclusion of their conference. It is probable that during the coming weeks the President will utilize the Mayflower to reach points of interest nearby, making short cruise similar to the one yesterday to Fort Andrews, one of the fortified islands bordering Boston Harbor. The Mayflower weighed anchor for the first time since taking up Its station, more than two weeks ago, In Marblehead Harbor, and took the President and Mrs.

Coolidge and a party of newspaper reporters out to sea for a 60-mile cruise to the fortifications, which the President Inspected. Weather conditions were ideal for cruising. ture and, therefore, greater difficulty In marketing goods, Compromise Sought. Efforts are now being exerted to reach a compromise. But the coali-I ion reveals the weaknesses of Strese mann's position.

He Is Minister of Foreign Affairs and belongs to the People's party the Industrialists. His Cabinet cannot stand unless the Na tionalists support him. Therefore, he must make concessions to them In internal matters In order to win their support for his foreign policy. Without understanding the composition of the German Cabinet and Its peculiar difficulties It Is Impossible to grasp the trend which Germany foreign affairs are taking. Behind Germany's offer of the Security Pact behind the impending German reply to the French note one can trace the antagonisms between the two parties which constitute tne ministry, on-versely many paramount decisions in German Internal affairs are directly bound up with the country's foreign policy.

To take the Instance of the tariff. Despite the fact that the People's party is opposed to the tariff on grain, It may consent to It. Why? In order to buy the votes of the Nationalists for the Security Pact, whose lather is Btresemann, the leader of the People's party. Now, If the People's party finds that the agricultural tariff Is unacceptable to It, then It Is highly probable that the Nationalists will withdraw their support from the present Cabinet. The Cabinet would la 11 and the Security Pant would either be killed or stunned Into a long period of unconsciousness.

Swampscott, July 10 UP) President Coolidge, having enjoyed his first trip to sea on the Mayflower, was looking forward today to frequent cruises along the New England coast before he completes his summer vacation. Although the -week-end plans of Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge have not been formulated, it Is not unlikely that they will spend It on the yacht, boarding the craft after the President's return, late tomorrow, from an outing to be given near here for Essex County newspaper editors. A visit here from Secretary of State Kellogg on Saturday, as forecast In dispatches from Washington last night, was expected to play an Important part in the week-end activities of the President.

No Intimation had been given publicly here of the intended call of Mr. Kellogg, hut It was supposed that, whatever the occasion of the visit, Mr. Kellogg would be the summer White House German Economic Crisis Not Yet Passed, Despite Loans From Wall Street Big By IXJI IS FISCHF.U. (Special Correspondence of The Eagle) Berlin, July 1 Despite large loans made to the municipalities of Greater Berlin and Cologne by American banking houses the crisis which developed In the large German vertical trusts of the Stinnes type, which have recently been passing through serious financial difficulties, is not yet passed. Indeed, there are many authorities who believe that the outlook of the near future Is quite dark.

There Is no reason, however, why this pessimism should be shared. It Is possible that conditions may Improve before many months roll by, but for the time being the Government has every reason to he worried. If the Government were free to act It would probnbly attempt to take measures to cope with the economic situation. Unfortunately, It Is torn by Inner dissensions and is Itself weathering Innumerable storms which constitute a constant menace to Its further existence. The present nation-wide debate on the tariff Is merely an Instance In point.

The Nationalist party, which consists of the Junkers, landlords and realtors, wants a tariff put on the Importation of cereals and other agricultural products so us to protect themselves. On the other hand, the Industrialists understand that to In-crease the price of bread would mean higher wages to wnrklngmen. greater unrest, Increased price of manufac residence, 20 1st st.
