AGREEMENT IS : REACHED ON WAR DEBTS Last Point in Dispute Is Settled After Four Months of Negotiations, WILL SIGN NEXT WEEK Germans and Belgians to Settle Franc Claim at Later Parley. P / r inUli Frri i PARIS, June I.—Germany and the alied creditor powers, after nearly four months of untiring negotiations, today reached complete agreement on all points involved in settling the huge post-war reparations problems. The announcement was made at 1 30 p. m. today by Thomas W. Lament. one of the principal members of the unofficial American delegation Lament said the principal question which had been holding up the negotiations lately—that of the Belgian franc claim against Germany—would be left up to Berlin and Brussels, to be settled by direct negotiations. The agreement probably will be signed early next week The Belgians. particularly Emile Francqui, chief of the delegation, have been standing firm in their determination that repayment for thp gold francs be provided for in the current conference report. Open Breach in Parley

For a time there was even an open breach on the question between Francqui and Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, chief German delegates. Owen D. Young. American chairman of the conference, saw long ago the impossibility of getting Schacht and Francqui together and tried all sorts of ways to prevent an open clash. The French newspapers have carried numerous stories of how Francqui insulted Dr. Schacht and how the latter retorted. One of the stories, vouched for by certain delegates, stated that during the midst of a plenary session, while Young was addressing him, Francqui turned his back on him and stared out of the window. Young at the time was doing his utmost to effect a reconciliation. In spite of the fatiguing week he has gone through. Young continued today to handle the most important work of the conference. The delegations of the creditor and debtor nations all looked to Young for leadership, as they had done hitherto.

Young Gets Credit As the conference approaches an Jend. every one here realizes that it was due to Young's indefatigable labors and skillful manipulations that the negotiations have succeeeded. J. P. Morgan. American banker, and one of the delegates who helped solve the problem, sailed for home on the Mauretania today. Before leaving, however, he empowered Lamont to vote for him and. if necessary. to sign for him. A plenary session of the experts has been called for Monday. This probably will be the final plenary session of the conference and it was hoped that what few differences remain will be Ironed out to every one's satisfaction.

Famous Lawyers Son, 12, ‘Practices’Hanging, Dies in Noose

C CHICAGO. June I.—Friday was to have been a red letter day for * Johnny Dickinson, 12-year-old son of .Jacob M, Dickinson, prominent. Chicago lawyer, and grandson of the secretary of war under President Taft. Johnny had a big day scheduled, starting with the purchase of his first long-pants suit and winding up with a picture show with his mother in the evening. Part of the celebration was because Johnny came home Wednesday and proudly told his mother that he had passed his final examinations in a private school with the highest marks he ever had made.

JUDGE HEARS ARGUMENTS IN MANAGER SUIT Attempt to Stop Election Nov. 5 Up Before Superior Court. Hearing on the injunction suit to prevent city manager election corn* missioners from holding an election under the 1921 city manager law Nov. 5, opened today before Superior Judge William O. Dunlavy. Tile suit was brought bv Clifford Keane, ally of George V. Coffin, city and district Republican leader, against Reginald Sullivan, Democrat; William H. Remy. Republican, and City Clerk William A. Boyce Jr., comprising the city manager election board. Attacks Appointment In addition to attacking the constitutionality of the city manager law, the suit questions the power of Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin to appoint Remy as commissioner. Less than a month ago Dunlavy declined to hear arguments on a suit filed by Clinton H. Givan, attorney for Keane, in which election commissioners under the federal form of government were named defendants. Givan asked for appeal from his refusal to hear the case, but has not taken any steps to perfect the move. Vote Held Illegal One of the high points In the plaintiff's case is the contention that the referendum vote on the manager government two years ago was illegal because of the unconstitutionality of the law. Givan was to declare that the entire vote would have to be retaken in order to make possible an election this fall, should the law be declared constitutional in the interim by the supreme court.

BOY, 9, TWICE KILLER, HELD IN JAIL CELL Illinois Authorities Find No Way to Prosecute Young Slayer. Bat Unite<l Press SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 1.-At the age when most boys are beginning to take seriously such things as marbles, kites, tops and toy airplanes, James Harrison, 9, is held in solitary confinement at a detention home here while authorities puzzled over what can be done with him. The boy has caused the death of two persons in his nine years, but Illinois statutes declare that no child is criminally responsible until he reaches ten. James was scuffling with Norman Ross Comvill, 16, for possession of a revolver Thursday. The weapon was ischarged and Norman fell mortally wounded. Sets Fire to Baby Five srears5 r ears ago James set fire to the clothing of a 21-months-old baby. He had said he disliked the baby and he told its mother he “wanted to start a bonfire.” The baby aied within a few hours. The baby's mother, Mrs. Peter Endres, told police yesterday she believes James committed the two acts because he sought a thrill. She asked that some action be taken to protect other children. She se.id she had caught the boy shooting chickens with a rifle last week, giving this as an indication of his abnormal turn of mind. Tells Story Calmly James told his story of the shooting calmly. He did not seem in the least worried by the forbidding array of police who confronted him. He said he stole the pistol from the home of Mrs. L. H. Read Wednesday night. He said he and a younger brother, Albert, were playing with the gun when Norman came along and warned them to be careful. James said he pointed the pistol at the older boy and told him to stand back. Norman seized the gun and in the strugg l ® the heavy pistol exploded. The boy's father, Albert Harrison, is a coal miner. Apparently brooding over the scrape his son got into. Harrison became drunk and engaged in a fight. He was released yesterday.

KING IMPROVES; REST ORDERED George V Reported Much Better, by Doctors, Bit United Press WINDSOR, England, June I.—Although the royal physicians regard the condition of King George V as satifactory, it was understood today that they w'ould forbid their patient to leave Windsor Castle for some time, and that they asked postponement of the thanksgiving services, scheduled for June 16. The services were to have been held at Westminster Abbey as a thanksgiving for the recovery of the king from his recent long illness. But in view r of the current condition of the royal patient, his doctors are understood to be urging complete rest and quiet for him until he is recovered entirely. In spite of the alarm caused among the populace by the announcement that an abscess had formed on the right side of the king's chest, the doctors said that no operation would be involved and that the trouble had passed the worst stage. Their prescription of rest and quiet w'as merely a precaution. it w r as understood. Although the king will need to. remain in bed. his condition was regarded as so thoroughly satisfactory that his doctors have permitted him to transact public business.

Opening Markets

BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK. June I.—The stock exchange opened the new month with a more buoyant tone today. Renewed demand for high grade railroad shares stimulated the market, undergoing a slight recovery from its recent bear pounding. In consequence, some new highs for the recovery movement were reached; and broad buying activities were stimulated by the record breaking decrease in brokers’ loans for the week ended May 29. New York Central, and New Haven furnished strong leadership for the carrier shares, the latter attaining new high ground for the year. Erie, Chesapeake & Ohio, Missouri - Kansas - Texas, Missouri Pacific and Reading all reached new highs on the recovery. Atchison sold at another record high at 2244, up nearly a point.

FORD LINES UP WITH SOVIET IN HUGE DEAL Contracts for $30,000,000 Worth of Products in Nine Years, B’t United Press DETROIT. June I—Henry Ford, the man who won't be beaten, has come back again—just as he always come back -through the $30,000,000 deal he completed Friday with Soviet Russia. For more important than the initial monetary considerations is the significance of the agreement as it concerns Ford's battle on a world-wide front with General Motors. The contract, running for nine years, call for purchase of $30,000,000 worth of Ford products within four years. The Ford company is to provide technical advice in erection of a Russian factory, but Ford probably will have a part in distribution also. Based on that assumption, the arrangement is even more to his interest. With its far-flung overseas organization, General Motors still has the advantage over Ford in the export field, but the Soviet agreement lessens its domination. General Motors is the fifth industrial enterprise in Europe, and its recent acquisition left little to fight over there in the automotive trade. Ford apparently has seen little wisdom in an immediate European war of attrition, but has scored a victory in opening anew field for automobile distribution, a field which may have unlimited possibilities.

CRAZED VICTIM OF WAR DIVES TO HIS DOOM Evades Hundreds of Polio# in All-Night Search irtj Chicago, Before Suicide, [} DRINKS SELF INSANff Gassed in World Conflict! Fights Off Besiegers jj With Shotgun, ) Bit United Press CHICAGO. June I.—A dramatic suicide before a. speeding North* western passenger train today ended the drink-inspired rampage of Ferdinand Preuss, who killed two policemen and a merchant and severely wounded three other persons late Friday, while defending himself against capture in his west) side tenement. After eluding one of the most tensive man hunts ever organized iii the Metropolitan area—fifty squad* of detectives and policemen and incessant bong-bonging of the radio alarm system—the 38-year-old war veteran today hurled himself before a westbound Freeport train, which cut off his head and bottx arms. Where Preuss spent the nighti after his markmanship had prevailed against the combined efforts of eight detective squads which attempted to capture him in his home yesterday probably never will be known. Great Man Hunt Started While the law reinforced it* numbers before his home, Preuss continued firing through the front and side windows with a pump shotgun until he had wiped out one c-ntire squad. Then he fled down an alley and was swallowed up by the teeming tenement district which had been the scene of his drunken, rampage. Then was organized a man hunt of unprecedented proportions. It was joined by every policeman who could be spared from regular patrol duty and was led by Deputy Police Commissioner John Stege himself. Most of those who took part iff the search were friends of Sergeant John Lee Conley, the 42-year-old detective bureau squad leader, who was first to fall before Preuss' pump gun. The crew of the Northwestern train which left the West Madison street station in Chicago at 8:28 a. m. today picked up the body of Preuss after their train had mangled it at the Kilboum avenue startier, and completed the tion before police arrived.

Unarmed at Time of Death Wisconsin fishing license in H | coat pocket issued to Ferdinand Preuss left no doubt as to the suicide's identity. Preuss was not armed. The pumpi gun with which he had spread a* i ring of death round his west side basement apartment had been left ‘ behind and there was no sign of | the revolver which he • s said tq| have carried when he fled. Police, who went out to claim the bod-, said they believed Preuss had wandered aimlessly all night and that when the passing hours brought? him sobriety and a. realization o£ the fearful consequences of his snree he decided to take his owgi life. * Having no gun, he chose the raiSl road. j Crazed by Liquor Preuss was gassed during tlti World war and his condition had preyed on his mind, relatives said. He had been drinking for more than a week and yesterday his alcoholinflamed mind sent him into £ frenzy. Preuss seized a shotgun and theatened his wife. She escaped and called police. A squad came to the house and ordered Preuss to surrender. His reply was a volley from the repeating shotgun. Police Officer John Lee Conley dropped dead, a score of pellets through his body. Policeman Herbert Haagberg staggered to a nearby wall, half his face tom aw-ay. He started to run to the squad car, but dropped dead before he had gone more than a dozen steps. A crowd of neighbors started gathering across the street. Suddenly Preuss appeared at the front door, brandishing his gun.
