P.)— Every effort to break the deadlock which has apparently halted the work of the inter-allied conference called to put the Dawes plan reparations into effect has thus far been unsuccessfal. The conference stumbling block is on the difference between Premier Herriot of France and British and American financiers, over the suffi- ciency of guarantees which must accompany the proposed 40 million pounds loan to Germany. Bankers insist they are interested only in préper security for the loan and that they will expect a formula embodying their outline to be pro- duced before they will approve me joan, Franc Position France maintains her original stand, namely that she will abide by the Treaty of Versailles and that in the event of wilful German de- fault she will have the right’to im- pose sanctions no matter whether the other allies collaborate or not. The financiers, while recognizing the French viewpoirt, are frank in stating that the safety of the loan guarantee would be menaced if one alone could act in the manner of default. Premier Herriot’s position at home has much to do with the present impasse. That the government might not surrender to the finan- cier’s argument is known. While there is a: certain deadlock, there is no reason for pessimism in the present circumstances, according to an American commentator, who sought. to view the situdtion® with detachment. He . emphasized that the Dawes report now was Europe's hope, no less- than it was a week ago. He predicted that the realiza- tion of the forces of economic and political disorder which would be released from control if the Dawes plan were rejected would yet recon- cile the opposing interests and re- unite the conference in launching the expert’s scheme on reparations.

TORN UP Spur Used to Take Passen- ENTIRE CHARGE OF SMALL TOWN Band Occupies Prinsberg, Minnesota, and Take Time In Looting Bank APE WITH $1,000 Cut Telephone Wires, Post Lookouts to Keep Back Residents of Village Prinsberg, Minnesota, July 25. (By the A. P.)—Bandits took control of this little inland village for two hours early today, cut telephone wires leading to the outside, blew open the safe in the Prinsberg State Band and escaped with approximately $1,000 in money. The bandits, six or seven in num- her, enteréd the town at 11 p. m. last night on foot, leaving their auto- mobile just east of the village limits. After cutting wires, three or four of the bandits were posted as look- outs near the bank and the other three entered the building, Four charges of explosives were necessary to force open the safe, which is of the exposed type. All cash in the safe was taken, and a hurried check today indicated this was between $900 and $1,000. Prinsberg is a village of about 60 population, with a general store and u bank comprisingsits business district. There are about 10 resi- dences, The interior of the bank, which is 2 wooden building, showed the ef- fects of the raid, as fixtures and furniture were damaged and scatter- ed about the interior. It took nearly two hours for the. men to complete their task. The few venturesome citi- zens who saw them depart said tecy headed south in the direction of Renville, but up to this afternoon no tangible clue as to their where- abouts had been found. The bandits who stood guard around the bank were armed with rifles and sawed- off shotguns but there was no oc- casion to use them, as the limited population of the town remained: un- gar cover, CANDLERS ARE AGAIN SUED $25,000 Damages Are De- manded of Them at the kidnaping and murder of 44-year- the defense, is se@n standing just dressed fastidiously as they came Leopold, however, is gazing ig noticeabf in the faces 0 The picture FARMERS ‘ARE CUTTING RYE Several rye fields have been cut between Bismarck and Flasher, ac- cording to travelers from that dis- trict, and rye cutting is expected to be’ general in this section next week. .Some wheat probably will be cut in ten days and the harvest likely will be general in two to three weeks.

Howard Mayer, a Chicago news- per reporter, and student at the University of Chicago with the two defendants, told’ of Loeb’s effort two days after the murder of young Franks to give him a “scoop” by suggesting the probable course of the kidnapers in collecting the ran- som moriey from.

Hugh Byrne, police officer, told of the finding on May 22 in the vicinity of the culvert which yield- ed young Franks body, of a tan woolen scck identified Monday by the lad’s mother as that of her son.
