The five of the Cumberland univer-

ATTEMPT TO STEAL
PEARLS FRUSTRATED

London January 20.-A determined but
unsuccessful attempt was made Saturday
night or Sunday TO steal 100000 worth
of. pearls from the establishment of
Mark Rubin, jewel merchant of 50
Heathburn viaduct.
In the opinion of Scotland Yard, the
burglary was the work of a gang of
American thieves. who left behind the
most elaborate and costly set of cleo
trical tools and appliances ever seen by
the London police. In addition to a
portable electric light plant. they aban-
doned 20 cylinders of oxygen and other
gas.
A tent was erected around the safe to
screen the operators from observation.
They succeeded in cutting large hole
in the outer casing of the safe. which,
however. was of the most smodeyn con-
structon. The inner shell frustrated
their efforts, and the contents of the
safe, including a vast quantity of pearls,
We're found intact
The burglars apparently were disturbed

CHINESE LOAN MAY
NOT BE EFFECTED

PelSing, January 2O-Another obstacle
have arisen in negotiations between China
and bankers of the 6-power group rep
resenting the proposed sl25,oo0eo0 loan.
In a note presented yesterday the bank
ers Informed the minister of finance that
while they We're prepared to sign the
loan contract, it would be impossible
Immediately to enter into an engage
ment to furnish the advances which
China required, owing to financial strin-

The Chinese government replied today,
emphasizing its desire to deal with the
siX-power group. and pointing. out that
in the recent negotiations China faith
fully refused to entertain other offers
but that funds were necessary at an
early date. China. therefore, would be
compelled to enter into other loan nego-
tiations.
This reply leaves the way open to the
conclusion of six-power loan. if these
bankers are prepared to carry out their

agreement TO let the question of au-

chair of the speaker and Pratt WELD

seemed about equal.
The immediate occasion of trouble
was the attempt OF Speaker Pratt to
call 10 the chair G. r. Hunter. reppb-
lican. An appeal had been taken from
the ruling of the speaker against an
offer by democrats of substitute COM
mittees for those le had submitted and
in which he held the balance of power

committee is to pass upon the right
of three republicans to hold seats from
Unitah county and upon the outcome
of these contests depends largely the
chances of L. $. Warren for reelection.
Hunter took the chair and Pratt went
tc Hunters seat.
Judge Metz, democrat, declared the
speaker could not designate any other
than the speaker pro tenn to take the
chair. He called upon w. j. Wood,
speaker pro TEN, and a democrat, to
preside. This Wood proceeded to do
and Hunter yielded. Pratt thereupon
started to resume the chair himself.
Wood sat staunchly in his place until
Pratt, grasping MIN by the shoulders,
threw him from the platform Wood
promptly arose and rushed back and
the men struggled until several men
got them apart WELDING the gavel,
Pratt declared the house adjourned.

Pratt forbade the calling of the roll.
Pratt attempted again to get his own
chair and when Representative Sproud,

Upon eonvening at o'clock the
house was called 10 order by Speaker
