Benson, secretary of he Merchants Assocla tlon. President Menden declares the company will not be able to extend service, either to Jamaica or locally on the Broadway Line, with shop space no greater than it is now.

"We appreciate the desirability of running more through trains to Jamaica," he says in his letter, "but we cannot do this until we have more cars, and we cannot operate more cars until the city provides iihop faculties. in answer to the suggestion that facilities for switching be installed at the Marcy ave. station, Mr. Menden points out that such facilities already exist to a limited extent sufficient to make it possible to continue service on either half of the line In case of a tieup. Grade cross ings present on the route from Kockaway Parkway to Canarsie Shore make the extension of elevated service advised by the merchants on this line unfeasible, he says.

"We Would not feel justified In operating subway cars until the crossings are removed," it is stated In the letter, and the lack of a contact rail is also mentioned as an obstacle. The annual meeting of the Broad way Merchants for the election of officers has been fixed for the third Thursday in January, and in prep aration ror rne election a slate Is being prepared by a nominating committee under the direction of Paul Haas. 15 TO DEATH AT FIRE Body Found After Blaze in Manhattan Daring Rescues in Boro Fires. no woman was burned to death In a fire which swept through a four-story rooming house at 71 Irving Manhattan, early today.

By this time the fire, which had started in the cellar, had spread through the entire first floor of the building and was creeping up the staircase to tne sleeping apart ments on the second floor. The fam ily found it impossible to leave the house by the staircase and they climbed out on the Ice-covered win dow ledges in the rear, where they perched crying for help. An alarm was sounded by a passerby and when firemen arrived they stretched ladders to the rear windows on the second floor. John and Genevieve were able to scramble to safety without assistance but the firemen had to carry the veteran and his mother down the ladder.

Paris, Jan. 3 (By tho Associated Press) (Tressed from all sides for further information as to the stop taken by Flnanco Minister Clemente.l to open up Informal exchanges of lews on the funding of the French ebt, American Ambassador Herrick said this morning that he had not yet forwarded to Washington the memorandum which the Minister of Finance had handed him. Ho had not done this, he explained, because ho had been engaged In the most Informal and personal discussions with various officials of the Government concerning the contents of the memorandum. The document which M. Clemcntel handed the Ambassador was en titled: "An unofficial memorandum concerning French public opinion on the payment of France debt to.

the united States." Ambassador Horrlck said he could make no additional statement regarding the memorandum further than that it contained an unofficial suggestion regarding the manner of payment of the French debt. Will Not Discuss Details, The Ambassador stated he had decided to give out this Information concerning the memorandum be cause he felt there was likely to arise a great deal of misunderstand ing If nothing at an were said. He would not, however, discuss certain details which were supposed to be among Mr. Clementel a suggestions, such as small, nominal Interest for the moratorium period, to bo in creased as the payments began. The moratorium period suggested is given variously as between 10 and 16 years, while the period over which rcpaymant is to run Is given all the way from 68 to 100 years.

The American Ambassador declined to confirm or deny the accuracy ot any of these suggestions. It is understood Mr. Herrick had promised the French Government to keep the matter secret, and that his reasons-for making a state mcnt regarding it was that leaks from French sources seemed likely to cause misunderstanding if ho con tinued to remain silent.

Washington Awaits Full Text of French Offer; Statement Meanwhile Washington, Jan. 3 Hopeful that it offers a satisfactory basis for negotiating a settlement of the perplexing French debt question, Administration officials today awaited more complete despatches from Ambassador Herrick on the settlement plan proposed by the French Minister of Finance. The keen Interest aroused by the Ambassador's report yesterday outlining M.

Clementel's proposal, containing the first formal suggestions on the question to emanate from French official sources, was manifest in the State Department's immediate reqnest that he expedite communication of the full text of the proposition. Pending its study, Washington officials explained that no statement as to the acceptability of the plan could be expected. Submission of the French sugges tions to the American Debt Funding Commission as the competent au thorlty tn the matter will follow their receipt at the State Department and an early meeting of the commission is in prospect.

Washington, Jan. 3 One full month has passed since Congress met for this sosslona and In that time the Senate has not put throuKh one single piece of Important legis lation. Two months from today the curtain will be rung down for the last time upon the 68th Congress, with a llnal glimpse of the Senate fumbling and fussing with unfin ished business. The House of Representatives, on the other hand, has thus far aom onstrated exemplary speed and d's patch, rushing through Its routine impropriation bills in record time. When "March comes Its work will probably be all done, lis legislative bags all packed and Its hands folded In patient waiting for the Senate to untttnee itself and start ror nome.

From these circumstances political moralists could establish a good case in behalf of the hard-and-fast House rules which make It possible to get business done as compared with the voluble "unruliness" of the henate, where words flow cheaply and ini portant matters hang fire. No Decision on Muscle Shoals. What has the Senate been doing this past month? It has been ex tremely busy wrangling over what should be done about Muscle Shoals and the Government's 1135.000,000 Investment thcro. But it has not come to any decision and, under an agreement of its own, it cannot move on to another subject until this one Is first disposed of. Consequently the appropriation bills, four or tnem totaling more than a billion dollars, have not been vet Tea into tne ben ale machinery and it seems doubtful tt they will bo dumped into the hopper for some weeks to come.

L'nltss the Senate disposes of all wine of these appropriation bills before March 4'President Coolidge will be compelled to call an extra session of Congress immediately to dispose of them. Without these all-Important uppiy bills made into law before June 30 the whole fabric of the Government would totter and collapse for lack of fund Hut the Senate is so engrossed in other things, particularly talking about'" everything from "Democratic party corpses" to "power trusts and monopolies" that it cannot give Its Attention to such items as for the operation of the Gov-orhment nest year. At the last ntlnute, though, It will probably discover its oversight and railroad these measures through without prolonged JDBsideration. Hints of Filibuster. One frequently hears the whispered suspicion that certain elements are attempting to block business and thereby force an extra session at which such pet topics as railroads, farm relief and shipping would be taken up again for endless debate.

Senator Borah is one Of the chief proponents of an extra Jession, but nobody could charge dm with retarding legislative action. He has made no formal speeches nor In any other way blocked the Senate's path. Senator Norrls, leader In the Muscle Shoals debate, is himself not In favor of an extra session, contending that nothing worthwhilo would be forthcoming at best. The vetoed postal pay bill has bsen hanging between heaven and earth for a month in the Senate, during various maneuvers to defeat it. It conies to a vote next Tuesday, by unanimous agreement.

When Muscle Shoals Is out of the way ir ever the Senate is pledged to take up the Isle of Fines treaty. After that, perhaps, it will get along with the appropriation bills. House Moving Rapidly. The House Is movUitf along rapid lly under the spell of implied promises that if it finishes Its supply bills promptly, it can have what time is left for other legislative subjects. It wants to pass a Rivers and Harbors bill; It has a banking bill I to push; there Is a prospect ot some farm relief legislation some time In February.

But unless the Senate speeds itself up, all the efforts ot the House will go to waste and none of these measures will beoome law. And there is no continuance of half-finished business at the end of this session either. Whatever fails ot linul passage is completely lost.

Reconstruction of Capital a Sham, There's one thing in which Jnnan beats tho world from John o'Groats to Cape Cod and from Teklng Ttmbuctoo and that is the- rate which buildings can burn in 'this great and glorious capital. The re construction ot Toklo Is a sham and a fraud.

There has been very little real reconstruction. What one sees Is Just patch-up work. The grand buildings that sond hnm-and-eggs tourists Into raptures over the wonderful ability of the Japanese to overcome difficulties are, In fact, camouflaged paper-and-wood shanties. On the outside Is laid on a mixture of cement and stucco that gives the building a solid appearance, but any one can scratch through to the wood, and paper with his little linger In an hour. This does not moan that the Japanese have not recovered wonderfully from tho terrible blow thoy sustained, but the praise Is misplaced.

After the President had let It be known yesterday that he regarded Senator Borah's proposal to link up economic questions with disarmament in an international conference as impractical, the Senator announced that ho ould warmly support a proposal for a conference to deal only with disarmament, if that ere deemed wisest. The President, has not discussed with Senator Borah his view that inclusion of economic questions in such a conference would mean a too broad and indefinite scope to yield practical results, but believes that a conference resolution satisfactory to both could readily be framed.

While stating that a conference for further progress in disarmament would be "a great gain in itself" and he would heartily support it, the Foreign Relations chairman said he was still of the belief that "substantial disarmament or substantial prog ress toward permanent peace can not be had without 'Settling two or three prior economio problems which are disturbing tho world."

Japanese Children Fatter Since Earthquake of 1923, But Have Lost in Height Scared Burglar Suspect Calls Police to Rescue His Pal By ALFRED K. PIERES. (Special Correspondence of The Eagle.) i Toklo, Nov. 28 An earthquake phenomenon Is puzzling medical men and scientists of Nippon, this being that since the earthquake children have lost inches In their stature but have grown broader. Not only post-quake babies but also school-going boys and girls.

The Ministry of Education recently held a physical examination of all the primary schools of tho city and discovered that children are shorter in stature but have made up for this with a greater girth and weight. About 200,000 pupils wore examined, boys and girls being in almost equal proportions. Relief Material Rots In Toklo. Tho myth of Japanese efficiency, which was so admired by the late Lord Roseberry, still remains nothing but a myth, and this can be seen dally. Whatever the army and navy may be In regard to efficiency, the civilian departments of the Government cannot possibly he moro Inetli-clent than they are today.

The latest Instance ot this Is the sudden "discovery" by the Deputy Mayor of Toklo that, due to negligence and mismanagement and, It may be safo-)y added, also to corruption, material sent a good 15 months ago for the relief of sufferers in the earthquake Is rotting in Toklo warehouses. The wonderful discovery was made last week The articles Include flannels, hlunkets, clothing and various other materials, sent from practically all over the world. Most of these articles are now worse than useless rroM-Word Puilm Book of 40 priie The sight of his partner dangling in the air, 100 feet from the ground, frightened an alleged negro burglar so much last night that he asked the assistance of Patrolman Walter Donaldson ot the 40th st. station, Manhattan, to extricate his friend, whom he had left at the end of a rope outside the ilth floor of the 13th-story loft building at 22-24 W. 27th st.
