EXPECT REPORT OF REPARATIONS BODY IN 2 DAYS France, Belgium Object; Group to Favor Continued ' Moratorium. BY SAMUEL DASHIELL Vnltrd I’n-ss Staff Correspondent BASLE, Switzerland, Dec. 22. Report of experts, expected to leave final decision on Germany’s capacity to pay reparations to an international conference early in 1932, was near completion today. The committee representing Germany's principal creditors and neutral nations worked until 3 this morning to have the report ready by Wednesday. The French and Belgian delegates made wholesale objections to the committee’s plans, and Emil Francqui, chief Belgian, threatened to leave the conference and return to Brussels. Unless unforseen objections arise, however, the report may be forwarded to interested governments in ample time for formulation of a debts and reparations policy which governmental delegations will present at the next conference, probably at Lausanne. Brussels and The Hague have also been mentioned as possible meeting places. It was understood that the committee’s report of about 10,000 words would insist that a reparations solution remain strictly within the provisions of the Young plan and stress need of a continued moratorium as its only direct recommendations. Definite methods for alleviating the world crisis thus would be left to the international conference. Conference observers believed that the report would not exactly reflect the committee’s analysis of the world crisis nor the real feelings of the committee members, especially the neutral delegates. The latter, led by Holland and Switzerland, had insisted that the committee give an expert rather than a political diagnosis of the situation.

PASSENGERS ON GIANT LINER IN PANICINSTORM One Woman Is Killed When Mountainous Waves Hammer Vessel. By United Press GLASGOW, Scotland, Dec. 22. Scenes of terror aboard the liner Tuscania, when heavy seas battered the ship throughout two days and caused the death of a woman passenger and injury of thirty-six others, were described today by passengers and crew of the ship. The dead passenger was Mrs. Sarah Rogerts of Coleraine, Ireland, returning from a visit to the United States. She died from a hemorrhage after she was knocked down by a wave and dashed against a steel door in an alleyway in the third-class section. The captain of the Tuscania stayed on the bridge throughout the

two days of the storm. Members of the crew thought “it was all up,” they said, but were kept busy trying to quiet the passengers. Thomas Brown, a pantry steward, first to reach Mrs. Rogers after she was injured, told the United Press; “A terrific wave struck the stem quarters of the ship and burst a door. Water rushed into the alleyway, waist high, and swept a number of us off our feet. Mrs. Rogers was caught by the full force of the wave and disappeared beneath the water. “I grabbed her and took her to her cabin. She was unconscious from a heavy blow against a steel door.” A steward from the first-class salon told how the passengers in first class were swamped in the dining room as waves broke over the ship and water rushed down the main staircases. “The majority of the passengers were in the dining salon when water joured down the stairs and covered the room to the depth of a foot,” the steward said. “We though the ship had foundered. She lurched heavily. We thought surely the end had come, but then she righted herself. f’The captain ordered concerts to calm the passengers. But there was no keeping them calm.”

‘PRIDE MURDER' PROBE REVEALS MYSTERY MAN Farmhand Suspect Son of Pastor and Holder of Ph. D. Degree. By United Press BEDFORD, N. Y., Dec. 22.—Repudiation by Robert Nixon, 35, of his alleged murder confession, has revealed the principal character in a tragic farm drama here as a Denison university doctor of philosophy, a son of a prominent Ohio minister, as a school teacher, bank clerk and, finally, as an humble farm hand. Nixon, according to Police Chief Frank Mallette, confessed Sunday to the hammer murder of Peter Steuben, his boss, a man of no education receiving SIOO a month and board, as compared with Nixon’s $75-a-month wage. The killing, Mallette claimed, was the result of Nixon’s resentment

over the differences in wages paid the two men as contrasted with the differences in their education. The accused man insisted today that he is not guilty of the crime. He denied a verbal confession of the killing, as charged by Mallette. Preparations for his defense, therefore, went forward rapidly with relatives in Ohio, New York and Illinois co-operating to save the minister’s son from conviction on the first degree murder charges filed against him. Nixon’s father, the late Dr. Harmon Nixon, had been pastor of several Ohio Baptist churches. The family moved to Evanston in 1922 where his brother, and his mother, Mrs. Eva Nixon, live. Another brother, Dr. J. W. Nixon, Rochester, N. Y., plans to direct the defense of the accused slayer. Nixon served overseas in the ambulance corps, taught high school at Louisville, worked in a Chicago bank, then drifted east to a farm as a “hired man.” Fumes From Auto Kill GREENCASTLE, Ind., Dec. 22. Carbon monoxide fumes from the exhaust of an automobile caused the death of Albert A. Hauk, 55, in the garage at his home here. He was a salesman for a St. Louis casket company. His body was found by a daughter.

Suffered Terribly With Tetter Two Years. Healed by Cuticura. “I suffered terribly with tetter for two years. It was on my face, back, scalp and arms. The itching and burning were severe and I could not sleep at night. My clothing aggravated the breaking out and it caused disfigurement. “I tried different remedies but without success. I read an advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment so purchased some, and after using three cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment I was completely healed.” (Signed) Mrs. L. Frazier, 12422 Imperial Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. Soap 25c. Ointment 25 and 50c. Talcum 2Sc. Sold everywhere. Sample each free. Address: “Caticora Laboratories, Dept. H, Malden, Mia."

counting the day's receipts when the trio, brandishing revolvers, ordered him to unlock a door and! admit them. While one of the gunmen stood guard at the door, two others bound him to a rail around a transformer in the rear of the office. One of the trio knocked Handlen unconscious with a blackjack. Handlen was found, by his wife, Madelon, nearly half an hour later. He was reported recovering today from a severe head wound. The robbery is the second at the office this year. In July, Handlen was bound and gagged by two men and robbed of $95.
