SOVIETS TURN DOWN FRENCH NOTE ON DEBTS British Proposal Accepted as Basis for Further Negotiation. SUGGEST ARBITRATION i GENOA, April 29.—Russia will reject the French terms for an agreement with the allies, but will consider the British terms acceptable as a basis for negotiations. This decision was reached by the Russian delegation in a conference which continued until an early hour today. The allies intend to combine and coordinate the French and British terme in one note which will be presented to the Russians before night. For the purpose of doing this the sub-committee iu charge of drafting the note met today. The I-’reneh terms provide that if no 1 agreement can be reached on payment of Russia's debts, the soviets shall accept I the arbitration of a mixed commission appointed either by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, The | Hague tribunal or the Leugtte of Na tlons. The principal difference between the , French and British terms is that the French demand complete payment of war debts and return of property seized by the soviet from foreigners, whereas the British are willing to compromise on these points. When the notes ore combined for presentation to Russia, they will ask seven categorical questions as the Russia's attitude so as to prevent further quibbling by the soviets and will then lay down the terms on which the allies propose to give assistance to Russia. On leaving the inditing of the Bolshevists early this morning George Tchltcherln, chief of the Russian delegation, said they had gone over both the British and French drafts. The British draft, he said “might be acceptable as a basis for I negotiations." When asked about the French draft, Tchitcherln gravely shook his head.

YEGGMEN GET IEAGER PAY FOREFFORTS Blow Safe of Campbell Oil Company by Two Blasts. A BIT TOO LATE Night Watchman Attributes Sound to Torpedoes. Safecrackers blew the safe of the Campbell Oil Company, 2003 to 2007 Madison avenue, some time last night and obtained only Sis. Two explosions were required to force open the doors. The robbery was discovered this morning. Employ sos the company said the robbers were probably after the heavy collections turned in by delivery men Friday, hut that this money had been sent to the bank. Checks which were contained in the safe were scattered over the floor. Police said the strong Lox was opened by experienced yeggmen. The first explosion blew open the heavy outer door and the second the strong inside door. LOT OF “SOI r" USED ON JOB. The force of the explosion was such that the combination was blown through a two-inch pine door, ripping a hole two feet long in the door. The combi nation was found wedged behind a book after it had gone, through the door. The safecrackers, before blowing the safe, cut into the knob of the combination, evidently Intending to pour the nitroglycerin there, but the knob broke off and the “soup" was poured in the cracks around the door. The office of the company is a block east of Madison avenue near the Penn sylvania Railroad. There is no residence nearer than 350 feet and the company does not employ a watchman. This is ihe third visit of safe crackers to the company's office in three years. Three years ago burglars battered the safe open and obtained money. Six months ago a safe was battered but not opened. r D. Campbell is president and general manager of the company. That the burglars had no fear of being interrupted was evident. They did not take the trouble to muffle the sound of the explosion, as is usually done. A fuse, a short piece of gas pipe and a pocket knife with a newly broken blade were found near the safe. A small sledge hammer owned by the oil eompany and evidently used by the thieves was n’so on the table near the safe. D. N. Lowe, night watchman st the Indiana Elevator Company's building some distance south of the Campbell Oil Company's plant, said he heard the two explosions in tlie night, but thought they were torpedoes used by the railroad men as signals. Burglar Visits Blackwell Place The poolroom op- rated by Fred Black well, 1274 Roosevelt avenue, was reported to police as having been entered last night by breaking a glass in a side window.

FARMER ASKS TO BE JAILED FOR SAFETY Begs to Be Kept From Friends of Slain Girl. DENIES HIS GUILT Wealthy Man Is Given Third Degree in Death Quiz. HOOPESTON, lU.. April 29.—John C. Wyman, wealthy retired farmer and church elder, confessed today he betrayed Gertrude Hanna, former school teacher and choir singer, who was found murdered In the basement of the United Presbyterian parsonage here. "But I didn't kill her,” shouted Wyman. "Before God, I say I didn't." Wyman, 35 years of age and haggard after two days of constant quizzing, stuck to that story until dawn, when he was let go In custody of police. No charges have been lodged against the man. “We turned him loose with hounds on bis track," was the explanation of Charles N. Knox, sheriff of Vermillion County. ■ “I don't want to be turned loose,” Wyman begged. “I wouldn't think of going anywhere In Hoopeston without a policeman.” CiIVK WYMAN THIRD DKG RE E. 'Hie "third degree" was given Wyman throughout th' night by Sheriff Knox and John H. Lew man. State’s attorney. The examination was held in a dingy, stuffy room above the tire department station. "I met Gertrude," Wyman began, "when we a tended church together years ago. We wore friends even then. "But she went t > Chi ago to live, after which 1 met another woman whom 1 afterward married. That was two years ago. Mrs. Wyman died since." Wyman sat on- t in his elmir as he t hl t.is story, leaning slightly forward .ted gave the appearance of being eager to answer whatever questions might o- put to him. “One Sunday Gertrude came back to Hoopeston. I met her nt a church and we took a long stroll i:t the country. “I confessed my love to her, hut she iold me to forget it. GOES TO LIVE yvrru iif.b folks. "It was shortly after this that 1 went to live with her folks. “I wanted to marry her, out she refused. "We severed relations. “That's ajl I know. Umoro God 1 repeat I didn't kill the girl." Questioned os to bis whereabouts sln* - e April 1. many minor discrepancies appeared in Wyman s story. The sheriff entered with Grace. sister. and W. T. Hanna, the girl's father. During the intensely dramatic scene which followed, Wyman kept his eyes glued on the floor. G.ace, a year or two younger than her dead sister, n school teacher, and quite attractive, pointed an accusing finger nt Wyman, said: "You diil If. After Gertrude pleaded and begged with you to marry her you—a pillar of the church —refused." The young school teacher raised her two clenched lists high above her head. “Please, if you killed nty sister, tell us,” she begged. “My mother Is dying at home.” Wyman repeated In a droning voice: "Before God I didn't." Grace and Hanna J>a7 been roused out of bed for the early morning Inquisition. They had returned In the later afternoon from the funeral of Gertrude.

A compromise proposal in the controversy over the height of new buildings in Monument Circle was made today in a letter written by Oran Perry, superintendent of the Monument, to the city plan commission, following a meeting of the board of control of the monument. The city plan commission has proposed that the maximum height of the front, of buildings be 108 feet, that there be an offset of twelve feet and that ttie total height back of this offset should be a maximum of 1-70 feet. This has been put in the form of an ordinance to be introduced in the city council Monday night. Mr. Perry says the board agrees to the 108 feet front height but that it proposes there lie an offset of seventeen feet and that the total height be ISO feet. In speaking of the action of the boar-,1 air. Perry says: V "They do not find 108 feet sheer height 1 1 far different from their own figures of i, i (Vet as to warrant any serious obit -tion. They, however, do not favor the 1.0 feet maximum height with a tweiveuit backset. Believing that the twelve eet is so little as not to count sufTieientv considering forty-two ft-et of added eight, if other dimensions of 140 feet ml seventeen feet backset were subtituted then they would not feel warranted in further opposing the ordinance as otherwise drawn. “They ask that the ordinance be so amended and if this is done will withdraw all furthei objections to its passage.”

In discussing the present government of Russia, Mr. Weinshank said: “The present government of Russia is one thing and the nation is another. The nation sits as a whole, selling and buying. “The most important move that the government has made is the removal of the so-called “cheka,” which was a special commission for the suppression of counter-revolutions. These commissions were stationed in every community ana city of the country. They were made up mostly of young men who were the law (Continued on Page Two.)

Eor weeks the Shank organization has ostensibly been solidly lined up behind Beveridge. Mayor Shank has been the headliner on the Beveridge speaking list. It was likewise learned from a source close to headquarters that the antiShank forces, consisting of the combined Coffin-Dodson and Jewett-Lemcke organizations, will slate Shank candidates in strong Shank districts and anti-Shank aspirants in districts thought to be opposed to the mayor. They will do this, it was said, in order to elect precinct committeemen who will vote against the Shank candidates for county and district chairmen. 1 The Shank faction will sacrifice Beveridge by slating both him and New in order to put across its candidates for precinct committeeiHon, it is , understood. Whether printed tickets with only Beveridge's name will be used in one district and those with only New's name in another .or both names will be on the one slip is not known. It is understood the Jewett-Lemeke faction is having the anti-Shank tickets printed in Chicago. Whether they have been shipped to the city is not known, as they have not been generally distributed.
