BELGIANS DEMAND PAYMENT OF GOLD Request 100,000.000 Gold Marks of Germany Expect Further Negotiation?. PARIS. Sept. 12. (By A. P.) Formal demand was made on Germany tonishfby the Belgian government for thi deposit of 100.000,000 sold marks in the National Hank of Krüssels, but the demand is so worded as to permit a reply by Germany, and further negotiations. Although Sept. 15 Is the date fixed for the delivery of the gold, it is highly improbable that a definite decision in the new reparations tangle will be reached before next week. In the meantime, the members of the com-Tiu.-ion are working for the inevitable compromise. ' France is lirmly behind the Brussels government in demanding strict enforcements of the term? of the recent reparations decisions and strong representations from th? French Premier. M. Poincare. are believed to have been largely responsible for the withdrawal of the Belgian delegation from Berlin and tonight's reijuest for gold.

Under this scheme, Germany, with the Keichsbank's guarantee would pay the 27 0,000.000 gold r. arks due this year in three installments, in six. 12 and is months. The compromise terms called for the payment of tiiis amount in six months.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 12 (By. A. P.) William O. Oliver, auditor of tat, today refused an offer of an East Chicago company of approximately $45,000 for more than 450 acre of fdate land near Hammond, Ind., -which la fald to be worth more than $500,000. Representatives of the company admitted to Mr. Oliver, the auditor ald, that they had rranged for the sale of the land to the Adelaide Land company, a holding company for the Jonea-Laughlln Steel Company of Pittsubrg, Pa., for $650,000. Mr. Oliver refused what he termed the "ridiculous" offer for tne land after receiving a verbal opinion from Att. Gen. U. S. Lesh and Edward Whit. afi!tant attorney general, that title to the land rests in the state of Indiana. Ownership of the land has been in controvert. The East Chicago company haa claimed to own the land and has paid taxes on It. After making arrangements for the naie of the land to the Adelaide company e.ome time ago, the East Chicago company was unable to complete the deal on account of the title of the property being In doubt At tha time negotiations were taken up with Mr. Oliver looking toward obtaining a clear title to the ! land. Mr. Oliver, on rejueftt of the East Chicago company, arranged to have the land appraised. The report of appraisers placed the land at about, $25 an acre. The East Chicago company, however, had been paying taxes on the land on an appraisement of approximately $300 an acre. After learning thee facts Mr. Oliver announced that he would not relinquish the title to the land until he was asjnired that the state would receive full value for the property. Mr. Oliver had an abstract prepared for the property and when he obtained It he turned It over to Mr. ,Le5h. with the result that the attorney general decided the land is Ptate property. The decision of Mr. Oliver-to refuse to ?ell the land today came af'.er a two day conference with Walter J. Riley, Eat Chicago bank er and capitalist; J. W. Webbers of the Ea&t Chicago company: John W. Holtzman, attorney representing the company, and Attorney Ge-neral Lesh and members of h'-3 a CONFESSES SLAYING OF TWO DAUGHTERS KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 12. (By I. N. S.) After hours of severe gruelling at police headquarters, Tony Dlnello. 47 years old. a shantyman, broke down fhortly before noon today and confesso-d according to the authorities, that on Saturday. October 2, he took both of hia daughter to the bank of the Missouri river, near here, beat them on the head with a hammer and threw their bodies into the water. The victims were Flora Dinello. 11, and Helen Dinello. 14. both of whose bodies were found floating in the i river.

These few wcrds, Mr. Jewell said, were all he cared to give out for publication. Then he turned to Joseph Franklin, head of the boilermakers, and nought hLs opinion. Mr. Franklin replied afttrma lively. "There 1 nothing more that can be Jild now." A meeting of the executive council of the shop crafts wa announced for tonight by Mr. Jewell after the council for the first Hm othcially h?ard the report of the waye grievances of the Canadian shopmen. R. J. Tallon, head of the Canadian workers, told the executive council of their strike vote against a reduction In wages. He asi?urrd the council however, that no strike call would be issued until some definite action had been- taken by the policy committee. Ixss Tenseness Issuance of the call, then, Mr. Tallon later told the reporters, would depend almost entirely on the action decided upon by the r.ommittee of ninety. Today's session was marked by an apparent l"sening of the tenseness that surrounded the mf-etings yesterday. The men appeared more jovial tody and the leaders se-fnted more cheerful. That at least one eastern railroad executive is interested in the negotiations became known today. 3.

The manner in'which the Harriman banking: Interests of New York city and the Indiana National bank at Indianapolis helped finance the miners In the recent coal strike waa revealed here today by William Green, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America. Mr. Green, who also is a vicepresident of the American Federation of Labor, arrived to attend the annual session of the American Federation of Labor executive council, after having negotiated with New York banks today the pale of bonds which, he said, will bring the total cost of the strike to tho United Mine Workers of America well above $1,000.000 exclusive of large pums expended by local unions. The loan from the Hariman Xationa ""ink. amounting to $100.000 was obtained last July in the midst of the coal strike, said Mr. Green. The United Mine Workers "had $1,500.000 tied ur In the courts in the Coronado and Pennsylvania mining company," he said, and wa sorely in need of cash with which to defray strike expenses. "Through Benjamin Schlesinger, president of the International Garment Workers union of America, thiee offiiials of the mine vorkins. John L.

Mr. Harriman asked if $100,000 would be enough, saying we could have $5,000,000 if we necd-d it. It was- nil a b:g surprli to us." In similar manner another $100,000 was borrowed from the Indiana National bank of Indianapolis according to Mr. Green, and $50,000 from the Biotherhood of Loc m&tivc Firemen and Enrinemen. Besides the money borrowed, the mine workers organization ?oId $31.0,000 worth of bonds, most of them Liberty bonds acquired during the war, and expended $175.000 In bonds which had been posted in the Pennsylvania Mining company case, according to the organization's treasurer.
