L - PERSONAL TALKS N REPARATIONS Experts Conler Confidentially oa Proposed German Conditions ~Paris, May 7 P—The reparations experts today resumed confidential personal talks in a final effort to &gree on a basis of the figures pro- posed by Owen D. Young. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, head of the | German delegation, conferred with Mr. Young and delivered the text of | certain conditions under which the Germans sre readv to accept the proposed seltlement. | These conditions were communi- cated to the French and Belgian ex- | perts who conferred regarding them with Sir Joseph Stamp, British dele- gate, who now seems to be taking part of the burden of the final wol of the conference off Mr. Young's shoulders. 1 ‘The conditions, already known in the main, demand the right to re- vision. of the plan, or suspension of unprotected payments at any time the Reich may find itself in economic difficulties. They also ask the right for Germany to demand convocation of another committee of experts to| . consider whether reparations pay- | ments shall not be further reduvced under certain circumstances. The | unprotected part of the annuities, which would be the part attribut- able to interest on bonds for com- | mercialization of part of the total | debt, would be pavable under all cir- cumstances and would amount, ac- | cording as the German offer or the | allied demands prevail. to from | 750,000,000 to 900,000,000 gold marks ($180,000,000 to $216,000,- 000). | The Knotty Problem | Tt 18 on this point, how much of | the reparations debt shall be mobi ized and what shall be the part of | the cash thus realized to go tol France, that forms the knotty point | of the negotiations. | The French government welcomed | the Idea of commercialization as part | of the plan of application of the Lo- | carno policy adopted at Geneva last Reptember, because is promised the | chance for Premier Poincare to amortize at one stroke 50,000.000,- 000 francs of the internal debt and | to reduce the intercst charge in the | budget by 2.500,000,000 francs, af- fording an opportunity to let un| somewhat on complaining Irench | taxpayers. 1 French critics of Mr. Young's| #cheme assume it will furnish 3ittle | more than half of the anticipated | 50,000.000,000 frarics for purposes of | amortization of the French internal debt. They say since that was m'-i only inducement held out to rance to continue its policy of concessions | 16 Germany, there is no longer any | reason for the existence of the scc-“ ond Dawes committee.

After said inquiry and having rea- sons to suspect said death was caus- ed_by the criminal act, omission or catelessness of another or others, I held an inquest as to the manner and cause of said death. Said in- quest held at the town of New Haven, the following named persons beirg examined as witnesses: William G Arlington street Meriden, Conn. Clinton Tracy iington street, Meriden H. Bannell, North Have son, 18 Lyons street, New Britain, Edward T. Brown, North Haven, A. Herbert Carlson, North Haven. “Having considered all the testi- ken at the inquest, I, on the v, 1929, made the fol- lowing finding concerning said death: “Deceased, single, a laborer lived on Glen street, New Britain. His mother, Martha Watkins, lives at 19 East Broad street, Plainville, Conn. About 6:45 p. m., April 2lst, ed was a passenger in the Ford sedan owned and driven at the time by Eric Larson of 13 Lyons street, New Britain, a duly licensed operator of motor vehicles Deceased was fatally injured when Larson, after colliding with an auto- mobile owned and driven by William Gay of Meriden, Conn., ran along the road into a fence, as a result of which deceased was throw out of the car upon his head. sustaining among other injuries a fractured skull, his death ensuing on April 24th. “I find at this time La driving on the Boston Post Road near the home of onc Todd, in a southerly direction and that G cur was the last car of a line of traf- fic going nortn. “I find that there were several cars proceeding in a southerly dire tion in front of Larson; that two or three times before the accident Lar- son had cut out of line in an en- deavor 1o pass some of the cars in front of him but on each occasion turned hack into the same place which he had held previously. On his last attempt, however, he found himself too close to the car which in front of him and upon turning out collided with the left rear of Gay's car coming in the opposite direction. Larson then ran along the road to the left, across e trolley track which is on the easterly side of the road, over a small bank and upon the sidewalk, crashing into a picket fence in front of the home of Todd, turning out again and finally coming to a stop partly upon the trolley tracks. “L find that both deceased and on was | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1929. TUSCANPEASANTS PILGRIN HODELS Scuiptor Finds Italians Resemble Our Puritan Fatbers Rome, May 7 (P—The Tuscan peasant of todav is the physical kins- man of the Pilgrim father of 300 years ago, says Maurice Sterne, American sculptor, who has just completed here his imposing monu- ment to the forebears of present-day New England, to be erected this summer in Worcester, Mass, Only Tuscan posed for the figures in Mr. Sterne’s sixteen b vet the innzte Yankee g types, angularity of shoulders, el- bows and cheel-bones, stands out. “Industrialized New England,” the sculptor explained to The Associated Press, “offers today few of the old types such as we know from contem- porary portraits and prints. Life is easier for the rich, and occupations more varied for those not so rich. In order to find the physical charac- teristics of the settiers of the Old Colony, I had to discover a people who worked with the same kind of primitive farm implements, who hunted and fished in the same crude way. And I found them here in Italy mainly in the upland village of Anti- col-Corrado.” The artist pointed out further that | there w: imiliarity between the costumes of the Puritan epoch in America and those worn today in rural Italy. Here in the poorer com- munes the wives still do the spin- ning, carding and weaving as they | did in the American pioneer cof- | munities. The straight line in the clothing of both men and wemen is much in evidence. Even the 10ugh household furniture and home-baked pottery show similarity. “This likeness between types, particularly in Tuscany, and | those of New England is shown partly in the body, but also in the spirit,’ Mr. Sterne maintains. the sculptures of the great men of lorence, for example, you will find | many downright reminders of the | early Bostonians. Wasn't the monk Savonarola a sort of predecessor of Cotton Mather and Roger Williams? And Donatello’s statue of John the Baptist makes him out to he almost s tharoughly Yankee, as say, Thor- eau or Emerson." *Mr. Sterne himself is not a Yan- kee by birth. He was born in Lat- via, under the Czar, 51 years ago, Ttalian g | G of primitive fishing and farming | communities in the Far East and in Oceania when. in 1936, he was awarded the commission for Worces-. ter's monument, known as the Rogers-Kennedy memorial. He cast about for models, and finally con- cluded he could find no better thai here in Italy where he atudied years ago. One striking feature of the Sterne memorial is that it depicts no his- toric scenes. Each panel of the base represents instead some phase of the hard, unremitting toil of the seventeenth century in America, generally depicting a man and a woman sharing the burdens of the day. By concentrating on this cen- 1'rul theme of work he claims he has | ma | more true to life.
