He did say, however, that his projected trip to Europe in June was talked about and added that he would not take any “messages” to Europe for the president. . SENATE VOTES PRIMARY END (Continued from Page One) to get through the senate must retain the support of all of its today’s ad- herents when it comes up for second and third reading. The Deloney-Story bill legalizing boxing, House Bill No. 65, ran into @ snag when it came up for final pas- sage in the house this morning. Fran- zen of Platte moved that the bill be recommitted to the committee of the whole and a rising vote revealed twenty-eight representatives, a bare majority, in favor of recommittment. An effort to kill the bill will be made when it again comes before the whole committee. At the same time friends of such legiztation will offer an amendment intended to overcome the objection that it would encour- age professional pugilism. This amendment probably will provide that all receipts of a boxing or wrestling contest over $1,000 shall go to char- ity. ‘The house committee of the whole amended House Bill No. 39, deigned to increase the salary of a supreme court justice from $5,000 a year to $8,000, and the salary of a district judge from $4,500 a year to $7,500, by reducing the proposed increase in each instance $1,000, ‘The house passed House Bill No. 30, constituting incurable insanity a ground for divorce. The committee of the whole recommended for passage House Bill No. 51, providing a fine of $500 or imprisonment up to one year, or both, for convicted keepers of houses of ill fame.

(By Associated Press) PARIS,, Jan. 26.—Allied military experts today handed the supreme council their report on a plan for dis- banding’ German military units. The report gives ‘satisfaction to the French viewpoint on the question, providing: for full compliance with all disarmamént clauses of the Versailles treaty. It, concedes to’ Great Britain a fur- ther delay, which was asked for on Monday before the supreme council by Premier Lloyd George. Two-thirds of the operation of disarmament must be completed by March 1, and the work must be finished by July 1. This decision means that the Ein- wornenwehr, or civic guards, and the security police, must be disbanded, as must all other similar organizations, not allowed by the Treaty of Ver- sailles. The council stil has to act upon the report, but it was the gencral opinion this afternoon that it would approve the conclusions of rhe ex- perts. REPARATIONS QUESTION OPENED BY COUNCIL. (By Associated Press) PARIS, Jan. 26.—Consideration of the problem of German reparations. viewed as vitally important by cho people of France, was begun by the Supreme Allied Gouncil here today. Private conversations regarding this question have been going on between David Lloyd George, British prime minister, and Aristide Briand, presi- dent of the Council of France, but there was no indication this morning that anything resembling an agree- ment had been reached. The British premier held the opinion that tho qmount of indemnity Germany must pay should be definitely fixed, which view was rejected by’ M. Briand. Paul Doumer, French minister of finance, opened the discussion this morning. He read a report on the fi- nancial situation, and outlined the French viewpoint concerning a solu- tion of the reparations question. The conference then heard Baron Edgar Vincent D'Abernon, British ambassa- dor to Germany. M. Doumer's report occupied virtu- ally the whole of the morning ses- sion. It was ordered translated and communicated to the allied expert Near Eastern Cherpets rd and to take ipa the reparations "issue again tomor- rerhe position adopted by M. Dou- mer in his report, it developed as he proceeded to its conclusion, was a re- turn to the terms of Article 283 of the Treaty of Versailles, which places the duty of determining the amount of compensation to be paid by. Ger- many with the reparations commis- sion. He advocated strict adherence to the terms of that article. At the conclusion of the mornin session Premiers Lioyd George and Briand took luncheon together for a private discussion of the reparations question. From information as to the tone of the discussion among the. con- ferees as a whole it appeared that the general policy being outlined was that Germany must be made to pay all she could. The question most per- plexing to the conferees, it was said, was how to obtain payment without injury toward industri Negro Seized.
