NEW YORK, March 2fl. (Special.) Ter Rickard. internationally known sports promoter, was locked up in the Tombs tonight, and the eight men .thus far selected as members of the Jury that will try him on a. charge of attacking- a girl, 15 years old, were placed under lock and key in the ' Murry Hill hotel. Neither Rickard nor his jurors will regain liberty until the end of the trial, which began today before Justice Wasservogel in the supreme court. Nervous and ill at ease throughout the, day in court, the promoter of many boxing1 contests took; the first blow In his own battle the order to lock him uo as if it stunned him, and he lowered his head dejectedly as he made his first trip over the "bridge of sighs" in the custody of two deputy sheriffs. Courtroom Crowded. When court opened the room was crowded to capacity despite the bar ricades of benches placed across the corridors. Justice Wasservogel or dered the court attendants to exclude from the room pll women except those who may be called upon to tes tify, and even these will be excused as soon as their testimony is given. Sarah Schoenfeld. 15. J2 Georic street, will testify Rickard attacked her December 12 last in an apart ment at 20 West 47th street. Rick ard is under three other Indictments alleging similar acts with three other girls, all under 16. Roosevelt to Testify. Questions asked talesmen by Chief Assistant District Attorney decora, who will prosecute Rickard, and Max D. Steuer, the defendants attorney, showed that among witnesses who will appear during the trial will be Kermit Roosevelt, eon of the late president, and John Ringling. well- known circus owner, who succeeded ' Rickard as president of the Madison Square Garden Sporting Club, Inc. They probably will be character wit nesses. Mr. Pecora asked talesmen if they were prejudiced against a law that makes it a crime to be unduly Inti mate with a girl under 18 years old, with or without her consent. He wanted to know also if the pros pective juror would consider Rickard guiltless if he believed the Schoen field girl was, 18. He asked several talesmen if they knew Nellie Gasko of 725 Ocean parkway, Brooklyn, complainant against Rickard In an- other indictment. Some Express Prejudice. Some talesmen expressed prejudice against the kind of business the de fendant Is engaged in and were ex cused. George Cline Jr.. was accepted as a Juror after he had said it would re . quire "a very high quality -of evi dence"- make him convict a de fendant of such a crime. i Rickard talked frequently with Hyman Bushel, associate counsel for him, and once, early in the day, said he was anxious for the trial to pro ceed rapidly, as he wanted It "over with." , To Mr. Steuer he would say of cer tain talesmen: "That fellow's O.

El UGENE O'BRIEN in "Chivalrous Charley" and Buster Keaton In The Boat" are furnishing thrills and laughs at the Rivoli theater this week. Both are come dies of the sort in - which film fans always find delight. "Chivalrous Charley" is based on an original story by May Tully. A novel twist in the plot lends interest to this tale of a youth, who was overly polite. His ready assistance to women In distress got him into con tinual trouble and his millionaire uncle decided that the only way to cure him was to "teach him a lesson." The. uncle's method of convincing his chivalrous nephew that women in distress sometimes pick the pockets of their benefactors proves more exciting than successful. There is a pleasant little romance and some well staged fights. George Fawcett, vet eran character actor, plays the uncle and Nancy . Deaver is the heroine. "The Boat" is slower than the usual type of Buster Keaton comedy, but It has some lively moments to help keep up the interest. Buster's trials in guiding his homemade ship and looking after his family and his final dramatic rescue of his wife and children add to the fun. A particularly enjoyable scenic picture is being shown at the Rivoli this week. It la a Journey through Holland, with picturesque back grounds, entitled ' "In Dutch."

Give Larger Sum WASHINGTON, D. C, March 20. After a conference today at the Cap itol with house republican leaders, Secretary Weeks eaid he saw little prospect of the house agreeing to a larger army appropriation bill 115, 000 men and 11,000 officers. Reiterating- hi belief that pay pro visions have been made for 143,000 men. exclusive of 7000 . Philippine scouts and 13.000 officers, the secre tary of war said he hoped the sen ate would insist on that strength. Mr. Weeks discussed the army ait nation with a number of house mem bers, and, he said, found the senti ment general that the sub-committee which framed the pending appropria tion bill would succeed in putting through its recommendation for re duction in enlisted and officer per sonel. A vote on the strength pro vision of the bill probably will com within the next day or so. While at the capitol Secretary Weeks was told by Representative Siason, Mississippi, democratic mem ber of the sub-committee, that he would offer an amendment providing for a reduction in enlisted personnel to 100,000 -men by July 1. to bring the body to Portland for burial.

Both of us realize we will have to cut out all this money we are spending for extras, but even so. We will have to go easy. And as we won't be mar ried for six months or so, I want your advice on how to save money, beginning now." "Well, son, the only way is to make out --a budget what you must spend for this," that and the other, and spend that much each month and pop the rest right in the bank; don't carry it around.

Nutt, acting fed eral prohibition director, launched . a wide prohibition clean-up campaign today from this city. The raiders were worked rapidly and by nightfall had covered a territory of 20 square miles and had seized liquor in 25 places. "Our investigators discovered," said Colonel Nutt, "that many of the liquor operators owned their own smuggling ships, would make night voyages to a point near Nassau, Bimini or Gunkey, meet a schooner laden with liquor, make purchase at the average price of $18 per case, return the next night and receive double the price from their purchasers, also make a snug prefit on the fruit and vegetables for packing.

(Special Cable.) To me it never has seemed so d-if. flcult to talk to Americans about France as it is today. Our problems have become so confused and em broiled on both sides that it is hard to make clear one's meaning, however clearly one tries to speak. There are three generations arouna which misunderstanding exists, so let's try to understand each other. First, thfera is the Question oi our debt. Second, comes the problem oi th occupational debts. Third, arises our alleged militarism. . Concerning our debts you proDaoiy have read Premier Poincare s cate gorical statement confirming what I, myself, repeatedly have cabled, that France never has dreamed of default ing the three billion dollars borrowed from America. We count upon Amer ican friendship merely' for reasonable terms of payment. No American will protest such a request. .. Address la Unfortunate. The unfortunate development was the address of ex-Minister Loucheur, in' which he said the exact opposite of the above. Our- ambassador, M Jusserarwi, cabled that the effect of this statement In the United States was disastrous. I, myself, deplore it. But, on the other hand, Americans have no right; to hold France re sponsible for M. Loucheur's declara tions any more than. we wouia noio. America responsible for everything Senator La Follette says. Loucheur simply is a deputy and often has been mistaken, as for instance, whenJ he said three years ago that Ger many would pay 18,000,000,000 gold marks annually. . Loucheur committed a stupidity. Here it is regretted. Let Americans put their minds to rest about it. The question of American compen s&tion for the expenses of its army of occupation is more delicate, but it must- be discussed. German Debt Undeniable. , Germany owes the United States for its occupational expenses by vir tue of the armistice provisions ana the German-American peace treaty. Nobody denies this. What is the cause of the misunderstanding? Last week the allied finance min isters were discussing- not Germany's debt, but the davision of the first billion marks cash paid by Germany. The division' of this money raised many fine legal points. What pained us was that, without- warning, with out even informing the American embassy, your representative, Mr. Boyden, abruptly presented a claim, which, taken literally, would mean that the United States suddenly had objected to all of the agreements reached among the allies for months past. It is a question, I repeat, of priority, and necessitates close study the failure of the United States to ratify the treaty of Versailles. Action Shocks Public. The form and time of Mr. Boyden's action shocked us far more than the action itself. During the war I, my self, encountered far more serious difficulties concerning the use of money borrowed from America, but an agreement always was reached. It is certain that a conciliatory spirit is needed on both sides. I frankly, I don't thtnki it has been lacking on our side in present in stance. As to the alleged militarism I can only suggest: "Come see for yourselves. W'th our colonies we are a nation of one hundred million people and we do mot desire that we shall be shut off from those colonies. That is the whole extent of our naval militarism. . We are a Euro pean country which has been invaded twice in 50 years. We desire an as surance that this will not happen again. That is the extent of our land militarism. ' Viewpoint Is Expressed. Our viewpoint upon these questions was ill-expressed at Washington. It Is too bad. But you are too intelli gent to make us forever responsible for thfe blunders of our delegates, i In 1919 we assented to entrust a large part of our security to international agreements in the league of nations and defensive treaties. These agree ments having failed to materialize, we have been forced to fall back upon material guarantees, occupation and military force. But even now we are preparing to vote a law cut ting military service in half. There is the truth; I ask our Amer ican friends to consider it calmly, good-humoredly.
