In police court today, the officer the Drezek were not in accord as to what happened, but Dregek plead- ed not guilty to the charge of breach of the peace. The officer testificd that he saw him hurrying along the street bareheaded and without a neck tie, and thinking he might have been involved in a fight, he stopped him for questioning, Drezok, acoording to the officer, did not take kindly to the treatment, “Where do you live?” he was asked., “In a house,” was the reply. “Where?" the ofticer continued. “Over there,” Dreask told him. “Where are you coming from?" was the next question, “Over there was the reply. “So you brought him over here," remarked Prosecuting Attorney Woods.

Ward of the National Catholic Welfare council against what he termed an attempt on the part of Dr. Clarence True Wilson to draw a parallel between the two organizations, The Methodist board, of which Dr. Wilson is general secretary, in a statement presented quotations de- | scribed as extracts from department reports of the Catholic council which recorded activities in opposi- tion to legislation, visits to the of- fice of congressmen and to govern- ment bureaus. A leiter outlining a plan of campaign and seeking to en- list efforts of both priests and lay- men against certain legislation also was quoted from. The board said it | was sent out in 1921 by the Nation- al Catholic Welfarc board over the signature of M. J. Slattery, executive secretary. ‘Ward had said that the Methodist board in politics” and that “it supports or opposes candidates for public office according to their ac ceptability to the Methodist churc! He asserted that his own organiza- ition. "is not organized for any po- litical purpose. x x x It has never sought the defeat of any political candidate because of his stand on any particular piece of legislation.” Dr. Wilson's statement, which was issued in reply to a comparison he- tween the activities of the two churches drawn by BSenater land, democrat, New York, was that “the Catholic church has long had a headquarters here from which they have no hesitancy in confcrring with senators and other government officials x x x and the Methodists do not protest.” Cope- | GIRL'S TEMPERATURE 118 BUT SHE LIVES Ohild With Mastold Runs Fever Gix Degrees Above Previous Record —Is Now Recovering Scn Francisco, May 3 UP—Physi- what they believe to have been the highest temperature ever recorded in & surgical case in which the patient continued to live.

Young and Dr. Scbacht in Glosed Door Confereace Paris, May 3 P—Owen D. Young and Dr. Hjalmar Schacht today sought a last minute solution of the ponderous reparations problem in clesed deor conferences at the Hotel George V. 8.rictest secrecy surrounded the {subject of their conversations but it was said they represented an at- témpt to thresh out a plan for com- mercialization of a part of the | reparation debts which would be ac- ceptable both to Germany and the | allies. It is on commercialization that the offers of Germany and the creditor nations thus Yar have- ulti. mately come to grief; if a satisfac. tory commercialization arrangement could be made a tentative,settlement would be easily possible. Few of the experts held any real hope l\lch will eventuate, however, It was authoritatively stated, Dr. Schacht brought back no new offer with him from Berlin and that so far Mr. Young had presented noth- ing new. Instead, it was said, both are mulling over previously dis- cussed ngements seeking to find an idea which might be fitted into another plan which would be ac- ceptable, It was suggested in one source that if Germany would agree to commercialise & large sum the al. lies might agree to moderate the size of the annuities for a limited peridd, with the hepe that future payments could be met with the profits from the international bank or greatly reduced through a dis- counting of the American debts. Hources usually considered most excellent, however, were all agreed teday that no tangible plan was yct in sight—there was merely the prospect that something with sev- Motorists —Pay Only $2.00 a Week on GUARANTEED PANAMA TIRES Union Store p...

Young, Dr. Hjalmar Schacht and their colleagyes. The Associated Presa learned to- day from a well-informed saurce that publication of two memoran. dums would signify, in the opinion of German officials, the grouping of all the creditor nations against Ger- many. Three memorandums would mean division of the experts into a group composed of United States and Japan, a group including the rest of the creditors and Germany, herself, as a third. % It is pointed out here that the French are just as much, and pes. sibly more, interested in a speedy settlement of the reparations prob. lem as the Germans, because the large sums which the French will be obliged to transfer in August for American war material would make a large hole in the French budget, The actual negotiations at Paris are not expected to lead to a defi- nite settlement, but at best to & basis for a preliminary term, pos- sibly five years, of payments. resentatives at Paris are firmly oon- vinced that unless Germany's ecoe nomic capacities are considered and certain traasfer protection is en- sured, guaranteeing the stability of German ecurrency, no conscientious German would consider himself in a pesition to sign an agreement. Americans Blamed The American delegation s blamed for baving allowed the con- ference to be driven into a blind alley and for having prematurely submitted a payment plan instead of walting until the creditors on one hand and Germany en the ether had fully submittéd their demands and offers. It is asserted that the Americans thereby changed their status from that of mediators to that of an in- terested party. It is argued that while it is psyehologically under. standable that the American ex- perts should be unable to forget that they, with the allies fought Germany, business should remain business, especially for delegates from the United States “where busi- ness 18 unhampered by sentiment.” De Groot Acknowledges.
