U. S. IS ‘KEY’ IN GERMANY’S PLEA FOR WAR DEBTS SLASH

WORLD POWERS TURN QUICKLY TO AMERICANS Allied Delegation Likely to Visit Washington for Decision. WATCH STIMSON PLANS Importance Is Placet! on Secretary's Pending European Trip. By United Preu LONDON, June B.—Possibility of a joint representation to the United States concerning the desirability of reducing the financial burdens created by the World war was seen today as one result of the AngloGerman conversations at Chequers over the week-end. An agreement which would lead indirectly toward collaboration of world powers in an effort at war debt reductions was reached at Chequers, the United Press was informed reliably. It was expected that the British government would communicate the results of the conversations to Rome, after which the desirability of making a joint representation to Washington would be considered. ♦ While no attempt was made at Chequers to reach an agreement on Germany’s reparations payments, it is expected that Great Britain will make some move to gain co-opera-tion among creditor and debtor nations “to overcome the present economic depression.” High importance was attached to the presence of Chequers of Montague Norman, head of the Bank of England, as well as Sjr Frederick Leith-Ross, treasury controller. The king’s secretary, Sir Clive Wigram, also was present. King George received Chancellor Heinrich Bruening and Dr. Julius Curtius in audience at Buckingham palace today. It was the first time since the World war that members of a German cabinet had entered the palace. Hoover, Stimson Confer By United Press WASHINGTON, June B.—Weekend conversations at Chequers be-; tween heads of the British and | German governments indicate a disposition to reopen the reparations and war debts questions in a way that will present a serious problem for the United States. President Herbert Hoover during his week-end at Rapidan camp was understood to have discussed the situation with Hugh Gibson, ambassador to Belgium, and the government’s foremost authority on European post-war relations. Soon after Mr. Hoover returned to the White House today Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson called. He brought with him several bundles of documents, and it was assumed that the debt situation was the subject of the conference. Though this government has been rigid in opposing cancellation or downward revision of the allied war debts, the fall in the general world price level and possible inability of Germany to continue reparations payments, out of which allied debt payments to the United States are financed, raised considerations which officials here privately recognize may have to be faced. For this reason, the visits to Europe by Stimson and Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon, announced as combination business and pleasure excursions, take on the importance of major missions. Hoover has set Ills heart upon making the proposed world disarmament conference at Geneva early next year a success ,and his intense hopes in this respect have led to speculation as to whether some method may not be found by which a readjustment of Europe’s financial obligations can be made, contingent upon accepting rigid disarmament proposals. Germans Are Hopeful By United Press BERLIN, June 8. —A slackening i in Germany’s reparations revision program,was indicated today as one result of the announcement that Harry L. Stimson, United States secretary of state, will visit Europe this summer. High hope was expressed in government quarters that Stimson will advocate cancelation of part of the allied debts and reparations as a 1 means of scrapping part of Europe's armaments. A spokesman for the government! said German officiasl hope Stimson will suggest reductions of between $1,000,000,000 to $2,000,000,000 in Europe's annual military outlays, including rigid limitations in the percentage of populations under arms and restrictions on war ma-; terials. Stimson’s intention to reach Berlin on July 21 will check, it is believed, inclination of some German officials to announce suspension of reparations payments early in the ! summer. France Is Pessimistic By United Press PARIS, June B.—Doubt was expressed unofficially in government quarters today that Germany can advance sufficient argument to prove its incapacity to pay the reparations under the Young plan. Administration leaders indicated they doubted Chancellor Heinrich Bruening can convince Washington that Germany is in such a plight that America will reduce the war debt to meet the proposed reparations cuts. France's attitude on the war debts is definite—there shall be no reduction in Germany’s payments to Franca without corresponding reduction* by-france's creditors. Negro Charged With Intent to Kill Captured after he is alleged to have shot and critically wounded Collie Hurd, Negro, 311 North West street, police today charged John Wilson, Negro, 328 North West street, with assault and battery with intent to kill. Hurd is near death #t city hospital.

BITTER RULES BATTLEj.OOMS Everett Sanders Says House Faces Struggle. A fight in which schemes to change long standing rules of the ijouse will be focused is predicted for the next session of congress by Everett Sanders, Terre Haute, former secretary to President Calvin Coolidge.i “Practical equality of the strength of both major parties will cause one of the most unusual battles over rules of procedure ever waged in congress,-” Sanders told members of the Indianapolis Bar Association, Friday night. “A noted parliamontarian will introduce a bill in the next session of the house requiring that a bill be brought up for consideration on the written request of 100 members,” Sanders said. This representative, who will attempt to change the rule that ahvays has called for 150 signatures, will have support of Democrats if Republicans succeed in organizing the house, he declared. On the other hand, if Republicans are in the minority they wall try to curb the majority power by changing rules, Sanders believes.

U. S. HUNTING AL CAPONE'S HIDDENJIGHES Government to File Civil Liens Against All Property Found. By United Press CHICAGO, June B.—Officials of the United States government hunted today throughout the land for the hoarded wealth of Scarf ace A1 Capone. The government spent three years and a fortune piecing together evidence that Capone made at least $1,038,654 between 1924 and 1929, then indicted him last week on a charge not paying income tax. Collecting the proof that he really had made his millions did not, however end the work connected with Attorney-General William D. Mitchell’s announced intention of putting Capone out of business. George E. Q. Johnson, United States district attorney, who gathered the evidence, said the big jobs remaining were to convict Capone and find where he had hidden the millions he is said to have made. Confident of Conviction Johnson is confident he can get the conviction. One reason'the indictment was delayed so long was to make it strong, he said. As for the hidden wealth, it is predicted it will be found scattered in investments from coast to coact. The work of finding it is being directed by Robert E. Neely, acting collector of internal revenue. “It is not as easy as it sounds,” said Neely. “Capone had no bank accounts—at least not in his own name. No doubt he owns much property and perhaps a bank or two, but others own them in name. He dealt in cash only.” Neely said civil liens would be filed against every dollar’s worth of perperty Capone owns—when and if it is found. These actions, he said, are entirely apart from the criminal indicements returned last week. Even if Capone is found guilty and sentenced to the maximum of thirty-two years possible under the charges, it will not mean cancellation of the $215,080 debt the government says he owes, Neely sdd. His property, when found, will be seized just as the federal government once seized the cows and other property of Frank Lake, another Chicago gangsters whom the government went after—and also

got. Attachment Is Suspected Neely regarded with suspicion reports that Capone’s attorney, Vincent C. Giblin, had attached the gangster’s Florida estate the claim that Capone owed him a $50,000 fee. The collector suspected the attachment might be a move by Giblin for his client. The Miami property is said to be in Mrs. Capone’s name. Meanwhile, Chicagoans are wandering just how much longer their biggest “big shot” gangster was going to be able to hold on to his “title,” with troubles besetting him from every side. The last few months have seen Capone stills confiscated all -'over the country. One blow after another has been struck at his wealth and his gang. One after another of his lieutenants have lost important tilts w r ith the law. Some were sent to prison. All had to furnish high bonds. Capone’s own series of court fights have cost him thousands of dollars. STUTZ STOCK IS SOLD New York Investment Bankers Acquire $700,000 Issue. Purchase of a $700,000 issue of common stock of the Stutz Motor Car Company of America, Inc., by the L. L. Harr and Company, Inc., investment bankers of new York City, was announced today by E. S. Gorrell, president of the motor company, today. This is the second issue of stock that has been taken over by the banking concern. The first purchased amounted to $1,000,000. Gorrell also announced the new DV-32 Stutz models are being well received throughout the auto markets.

RULE ON WAILING WALL Moslems Are Owners, But Jews Are Allowed Access. By United Press LONDON, June 8. —A commission headed by Eliel Loefgren, former Swedish foreign minister, has unanimously decided that the Moslems are sole owners of the hittoric “wailing wall” in Jerusalem, but that the Jews are to have free devotional access to the wall subject to certain stipulations. These stipulations refuse permission to blow the ceremonial ram’s horn nearby, while at the same time the Moslems are prohibited from holding the Zikr ceremony or otherwise interfere with Jewish devotions.

War Inevitable By United Press ABERDEEN, Scotland, June 8. —Sir Arthur Keith, scientist and author, said at the University of Aberdeen today that the dream of a warless world is an impossible one. “Such a world would be contrary to the canons of nature,” he said. “Nature keeps the human orchard healthy by pruning. “War is her pruning hook. We can not dispense with her services.” He continued that nature has a diabolical ingenuity and is organized on a competitive basis almost like modern football. “The modern name for this spirit of antagonism is race prejudice,” he continued.

Claims Exclusive Right to Its Monicker. By United Press MOUNT VERNON, Wash., June 6. —Contending that Mount Vernon, Wash., is the only town in the nation rightfully entitled to that name, business leaders here have started agitation in the hope of causing twenty other cities and towns in the United States bearing the name of : Mount Vernon to change their i names.

Livestock Head Reveals Rail Transportation on Decline. From the livestock farms of Indiana annually are sent thousands of cattle, but only a few of them make the trip by rail. This was revealed today by Scott Meiks, manager of the Indianapolis live stock co-operative association, in an address before the American Institute of Co-operation at Manhattan, Kas. In his address, Meiks declared that now truck transportation of animals to the Indianapolis stockyards nearly has supplanted train transportation. During 1930, 74 per cent of the animals sold here came by truck, the remainder by train. Meiks urged development of cooperative truck routes by livestock leaders and to render special ser>ices to farmers. Rated first of ten services is the use of the radio to give farmers daily information on changes in market quotations and changes in market receipts. His other recommendations to livestock dealers: Refund to members of all savings groups in the form of patronage dividends and except what should go into permanent reservesmonthly letters reviewing trends m livestock production; weekly letters on market quotations to supplement the radio reports; urge patrons visit markets to see how livestock is handled; frequent visits by co-operative leaders to comipunity meetings; publication of house organs outlining activitiesnewspaper advertising; creation of trucking associations to serve isolated communities and roadside advertising signs.
