Heerstrasse station here late this
afternoon.
BERLIN. May 11. Today was
Von Hindenburg's day the day of
the field marshal's entry Into the
capital as president-elect of the
German republic.
The nationalists planned to turn
the event Into a great manifesta
tion along the route travelled by
the automobile carrying their
hero from the suburban station
where he was due to arrive late in
the afternoon, up to Broad Heer
strasse. through the Brandenburg
gate and thence to the chancellor's
palace, where he will rest In pre
paration for tomorrow's Inaugura
tion. The air was charged with elec
tricity, both literally and figura
tively literally because of a throt
tled thunderstorm and figuratively
because of fears that the national
ist demonstration might be met
with counter manifestations and
Wwd t trouble. iThe police Issued
sweeping orders forbidding the
monarchist sympathisers from
having their bands of welcome
play "Fredericus Ract" or any oth
er of the stirring marches remin
iscent of the days of the Kaiser's
power. They also prohibited the
communists and their sympathiz
ers from staging the three monster
open air demonstrations planned
for today.
The police precautions against
trouble were elaborato and includ
ed patrolling not only of tho
streets, but of the air and water.
Aerial patrols were Instructed to
hover constantly over all the Im
portant street crossings along the
route to keep watch for symp
toms of disturbances.
Police tugs were to ply to and
fro on the Havel river near the
bridge crossed by Von Hinden
burg's automobile. Forty of the
capital's most experienced and re
liable motorcycle police were de
tailed as an escort for his car. For
the general safeguarding of order,
the chief of police augmented the
10,000 uniformed Schupos (securi
ty police.) with several hundred
officers from the political and
criminal branches. Even the po
lice dogs were moblllied. Police
trucks were stationed at stragetlc
points with reserves ready to.
move whole platoons to any dan
ger point in the event of necessity.
Societies Assigned to places
along Hindenburg's route will be
accompanied by police to prevent
clashes between communists and
nationalists.
At Heerstrasse, the suburbsn
railway station, where Hindenburg
Is expected to arrive shortly be
fore six o'clock, he will be greeted

Minister Gesseler, Minister of the
Interior Schlele, Executive Secre
tary Melssner. Chancellory Secre

other officials.
Only 10 newspaper reporters

idea of attempting to continue
these aervlces.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.. May 11. Us-
i ing a targe ancnor attached to a fif

I United States engineers today
will break tbe framework of the
cabin of the sunken steamer M. E.
Norman, In the hope ot releasing
I bodies of some of the 23 . persons
wno drowned when the vessel
turned over and sank last Friday.
Stationed at Intervals down the
river, crews of government boats
will watch for the bodies which
the engineers are confident will be
released.
The cabin was definitely locat
ed last night after the workers had
broken up other parts of the
steamer. Attempts to reach the
hull of the vessel with expert di
vers failed because of the strong
undercurrent which swept the di
vers far down stream when they
attempted to descend.
To raise the hull of the steamer
with chains, the engineer decided,
would require several days, they
determined on the plan ot break
ing up the auper-structure of the
Norman as the most practicable
method of reaching the vlctlma.
Fearing that some of the bodies
have been swept downstream,
those In charge have ordered the
search of the river as far down as

WASHINGTON. May ll In
formal conversations relative to a
French debt settlement are again
in progress, it was disclosed today
i at the state department.
Confirming the fact of negotia
tions for the first time the depart
ment reiterated that the Washing
jton government had sent no for
jmal communication upon the ques
tion to France. Department of
ficials would not enlarge on their
statement confirming reports that
intermittent Informal conversa
tions on the debt Question had
been In progress from time to
time. They refused to Indicate in
any way the nature of develop
ments of the last few days.
The statement that the discus
sion was "again" In progress was
taken as a reference to the rumor
ed dispatch to Ambassador Her
rick last week of Instructions be
lieved to outline the subjects he
was to lay before French officials,
In conversations he might hsve
with them.
There waa nothing to Indicate
that these Instructions Included
any deflnlnte project as to terms
of settlement or that they marked
any change In the policy of the
Washington government as to the
form at settlements.
It was said flatly that the Wash
ington government had not chang
ed front on the question of accept
ing an assignment of German re
paration payments by France In
working out a debt settlement
agreement. It la understood that
this question has been frequently
raised and that the Washington
government has always held thst
any settlement reached with
France must be la harmony with
the bsslc condition of the refund
ing asre.SJJ with Great Tlrltsln.
That coition la that settlements
are not made contingent upon any
outside question as to where the
funds are to be obtained by the
debt or nation for meeting Its oblly
Rations.
Developments . today on the
French debt question did not dis
close that any advance had been
made as yet toward acceptance by
the two governments of a definite
proposal advanced by either side
aa the basis for negotiations for a
refunding agreement. Apparently
neither government has put for
ward a statement that culd be us
ed for this purpose, both taking
the nnsitinn thst the nthir In eai-h
'case should take the first step to

New York hoping tor fog to aid
tlieni. T'.ilck mist came yeater
duy for the flr-it time since the

Rear-Admiral Billard, comman
dant of the coast guard, has said
in Washington that he will be
satisfied If appreciable disinte
gration of Rum Row begins with
in a month, but some of the
schooners and steamers that have
formed part of the fleet selling
liquor between Cape Ann, Masa.,
and Cape May. N. J., for four
years, have already disappeared.
F.tther they have gone to their
home porta on foreign shores or
are seeking other parts along the
coast. Captain W. V. K. Jacobs,
divisional commander of the coast
guard here, received a radio mes
sage from his blockaders that
some of the whiskey ships were
heading out to aea. Later there
were reports that some of the rum
selling craft had headed In shore
In the hope that custonrers could
elude the const guard's pickets in
the fog and do business. During
a lift In the fog eight rim craft
were noted lnillr-riding the rol

With the blockaders having on
duty 38 craft, it was believed that
smugglers would have great diffi

blockade Is a story told by a sea
