Sixteen-Year-Old Mount Airy
Boy to Be Prosecuted
in Courts
ADMITS STARTING SIX FIRES
Caldwell Matthews, tisteen-year-old
Mount Airy jouth who confessed he
stinted ;x lire "to see the engines go
by." will no arraigned before n magis
trate Monday and his case will be pros
ecuted "through the tegular police and
court channel." '
This statement ub made today by
District Attorney Kotiin in denying his
office had given consent to have proceed-
t ingM against the boy deferred uhlle
'alienist determined the boy's mental
! condition at the House of Detention.
The boy nn arrested last Thursday
i on information furnished by Mrs. Kll-
, wood Tauslg, who lives next door to the
.Matthews famllv. at 11- West Goweu
Bvetiue. Mount Airy, following the firing
of the tnusig summer kitchen.
At a conference of city officials Tues
day in the o1hoo of Kirc Marshal El
liott it wus decided to place the boy
under observation at the House of De
tention to determine whether lie may le
a reonomanlr.c. At that time it was
announced the district attorney's olfice
; had consented to such an examination.
nd that Dr. Horace Phillips, physician
nt the Kastern Penitentiary, had been
designated by District Attorney Itotnn
to make the examination.-
In denying this today, Mr. Rotan
aid he had instructed Assistant DIs-
I trlct Attorney Uarr to arrange n hear
ing for .Matthews before a magistrate
not Inter than Monday.
"The boy is over sixteen years old,
an dthie. office feels he should be tried
in the regular manner and committed
to Moynmensing, pending the doclslon
of physicians who are investigating his
mental condition," Mr. Iloton snld. .
"To properly convict him, we must
establish a prima fade case, which will
bj done at the magistrate's hearing. I
have instructed Mr. llarr to give this
case his undivided attention, so that. Hie
interest, of the commonwealth will be
safegimtdcd.
"If the report of the physicians
shows the boy is normal then he will
be speedily brought to trial. If he is
abnormal, then he will be committed
until it is determined to what institu
tion he will be sent.
"The district attorney's office had
nothing to do with placing this boy in
the House of Detention for an ex
amination. That was done by those
who arrested him. and I consider one
week sufficient to determine the boy's
sanity.
"If the examining physicians' report
is not ready by Monday, the henrlng
before a magistrate will proceed as in
any other case."

Saint Patrick, together with two others

HUGHES MISQUOTED
Did Not Recommend Restriction
of
Immigration of Certain Races
Washington. April 21. ilty A. P.)
Protests ure contlnuitii: to be made to
the Stnte Department as a result of
on Associated Press dispatch which in
correctly stated that Secretary Hughes
liiul recommended to ( ongress rigid re
strictionu on immigration and had char
actcrized Immigrants of certain nation
nlitics, among them Jews, Letts. Llthu
nniiins, Russians. Armenians, Persians,
and others, as undesirable.
In reply to all these the Stnte De
partment is pointing out that Secretary
Hughes made 110 recouimi.'iulntlon.s
whutuver, and made no characteriza
tions of any class of Immigrants. Ills
letter to Representative Johnson, of
Washington, chnirmnn of the House im
migration committee, was purely n for
mat one transmitting "paraphrased ab
stracts of reports concerning immigra
tion received from otficlnls of the gov
ernment who have been iibrond." It
was In the appendixes of paraphrases,
prepared by a bureau of the State De
partment, that certain classes of immi
grants were characterized unfavorably.
The statement that the recoitimcudu
lions were those of Secretary Hughes
nnd that the characterizations were his
own was nn error which the Associated
Press regrets, and in fairness to Mr.
Hughes readily acknowledges, of its own
accord.
While Secretary Hughes signed the
letter of transmittal, it is understood
that he did not rend the reports which
were attached In the usual manner In
which replies to congressional requests
for Information nre -prepared.

Washington, April 21. Secretary
Hughes declined today to discuss Oer
inan reparations or lo say whether any
proposal hns been received from the
(lei man Government. The indications
nre thnt Borne proposal either has been
received or is on the way from Com
missioner Dresel' nt llcrlln. It Is de
nied nt the White House that President
Harding has been nsked to net as me
diator betivecn Oermahy nnd the Al
lies upon reparations.
Kuropenn dispatches Indicate defi
nitely that the German proposal is:
First, to pay a certain definite sum
total of reparations to the Allies! sec
ond, to take over the allied war debt to
this country: third, to leave to inter
national arbitration the intention of
the value of payments already made to
offset against the lump sum due Mny 1.
One thing Is elenr nbout our policy
toward any German proposal, and that
is unit wo will not take a position upon
it out of harmony with that of the Al
lies. That is the one outstanding fact
here in W ashlngton.
Germany Tries to Drive Wedge
The purpose of Germany Is to, sep
arate us from the Allies. It Is this
which Germany ban in mind in laying
n proposal before this country. If
this country expresses nn opinion upon
the justice of the Germnji offer of n
lump sum to the Allies otherwise than
to sny that the amount Is inadequate,
it at once runs the risk of breaking
with the Allies, with whom it is the
purpose of the administration to re
write the peace of the world.
The object of the German offer to
take over the allied war debt to thin
country is plain. Germany wants
America to be her creditor directly and
thus to have her directly interested in
maintaining her tinnncinl strength. If
Germany owed this country $10,000.
OOO.(KK). this country would look with
n jealous eye upon French nnd Polish
efforts to appropriate German coal.
With Germany our debtor. Instantly we
should become involved in the wholo
Kuropenn tangle on the side of Ger
many. With Germany as our debtor this
country would be definitely tepnrated
from the Allies by its interest in
strengthening Germany. It is safe to
sny that this proposal at least will be
rejected. In Secretary Hughes' note
to Germany of April 4 the suggestion
was mode that Germany reopen nego
tiations with the Allies.
Attitude of V. S. t'nrliaiiged
' That is likely to remain this gov
ernment's position to any such pro
poml as Germany is reported to have
made. Mr. Hughes is likely to say "that
the proper place to take up the oues-
tioiid raised is with the Allies in their
conference. It seems unlikely that he
will einbnrruss the Allies by asking
tlutii whether or not the German pro
posals are acceptable.
Moreover,' the Hythe conference on
Sunday is drawing so near that this
government will hardly commit itself
on uny German proposal that might and
probably would prove out of harmony
with the determinations of that con
ference. ,
All thnt is known of the Hughes atti
tude toward reparations is thnt this
country must not he in Kuropc ns a
second mortgage. It is not at oil cer
tain that he will object to nny French
plan of strengthening themselves nt the
expense of Germany by seizing nnd
permanently holding the territory up to
the left bank of the lthine and by
operating for their own benefit (he Huhr
Valley coal fields. '
Owing to Germany's failure to pay
reparation Mr. Hughes may hold this
program of France to be Justified. In
general, he Is reversing Mr. Wilsou's
policies in Kurope. France is our
debtor. Wo arc Interested economically
in the restoration of France rather than
in that of Germany.
