WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Secretary Houston disclosed to the senate judiciary committee today that “one nation” had requested the United States to cancel its war loan to that power. “What nation?” demanded Senator Reed, Democrat, pecs abeaner scab Sete: Asides tab) Missouri. “I prefer not to say,” Mr. Houston replied. Recently published remarks of J. Austen Chamberlain, British chancel- lor of the exchequer, that such a pro- posal had been made to the United States and refused, prompted the question and drew Mr. Houston's staterpnt. Before that’ potnt was reached, Sen- ator Reed had taken up the financing of the Russian embassy here and drew from Assistant Secretary Kelley of the Treasury, in charge of foreign loans, 1 statement that embassy of- ficials had obtained $20°.000 in 1920 “on the understanding that these funds would be repiaced from other sources."” On motion of Senator Kellogg, re- publican, Minnesota, the committee closed the doors to decide whether investigation of the Russian loan status should be pressed. Mr. Kelley said the Russians had re- ceived $187,000,000 between July and November, 1917 ‘‘and nothing since then” wit! ‘he exception of the $200, 000 ttem. ie described the so-called “Russian liquidation” which followed the fall of the Kerensky government when the embassy had about $56,000,- 000 on deposit and owed $102,000,000 to Americans for war munitions. The claims were liquidated, leaving a bal- ance, he said, under supervision of Norman H. Mavis, representing the treasury and “by one of the most bril- liant financial feats of the war.” “Was any money used to support the Bakhmetieff embassy?" asked Senator Reed. “The treasury ruled that the em- bassy was entitled to be maintained out of the balance which was in the National City Bank,” Mr. Kelley re- plied.

It was a fight on the compensation law, but mow, unless the unexpected happens, the matter will be settled to the satisfaction of both employers and labor, with only a few dissatisfied employers grunting in the offing. SALARY INCREASES BLOCKED State appointive officers and em- ployes in state offices who fondly have been reckoning on salary in- creases from this legislature are in a gloomy frame of mind. The tendency of the time is toward lower pay and the fact is reflected in the legislative attitude to requests, urgings and im- portunities for higher salaries, The early ronfidence of appointive officials and vloyes that increases would be gr 1 is giving away to a sug- gestion epprehension for the sol- idarity the increases granted by the le ture of two years ago. ‘There be some salary increases, but th weeping wave of greater com- pensation which budget estimates sug- gest was anticipated by the majority of appointiv: fail officials and employes will ) develop, As the situation now 5 there are two deputies to elective officials, both men of extra- ordinary ability and both undeniatiy und ted, who confront a rein instead of receiving which they had hoped 1 to decreases of ause of the cut ide issue" compensat! retofare have enjor which they 1 FIRE CALLS **°'WEREL YESTERDAY AND TODAY ‘The fire department made a run at noon today to a house at 451 South Spruce stre: The fire was caused by defective wiring and had been ex- tinguished when the department ar rived.

REPORT Secretary Houston BANDITS HOLD UP STORE, GET S)O0 IN CASH Highwaymen Who Entered North Burlington Grocery Still at’ Large; Tracks Lost in Snow ‘Two men who early Saturday night entered the grocery store of O. R. Hawley, in North Burlington addi- tion, held up the proprietor and clerks, and took $200 from the cash register are still at large. A fairly good description of the men was given to the police and ©hief Lynch expects to apprehend them within a short time. The men entered ‘the store with the apparent intention of buying and after pricing several articles held a gun on one of the clerks near the cash register while the other hastily cleaned the drawer of its contents. Then the two quickly disappeared through the door and were lost in the darkness. Police were immediately called ané Officers Earsley and Whisler at- tempted to follow the footprints. The tracks were followed as far as the Burlington yards where they were lost under the heavy fall of snow. The trains were closely watched and the police feel certain that the two men are still in the city. Believ- ing that the two might have been hid- ing on the Sandbar, several arrests were made but they were not found. It is believed that the holdups were the men seen around the store a few weeks ago. They were noticed by one of the clerks and he feels certain that the men were the same two that robbed the store Saturday. .$, ONSOUNDER pASiS, 15 CLAIM (Continued from Page 1) raisers amounted to $1,998,000,000, or 14 per cent.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 7.—Nine per- sons were-undcr srrest here today in eorinection with yesterday's bombing of the residertce of the archbishop of Mexico and the building occupied by Juergens & Co., an American jewelry manufacturing concern, and the au- thorities, acting upon the personal request of President Obregon, are ex- pressing the search further for the authors of the outrage. Meetings were held by radical or- ganizations at several places last night to discuss the incidents.
