NO CAUSE FOR CRISIS
In EUROPEAN FINANCES
Says American Expert To A. P. After
Exhaustive Study of Subject, Tho
France Is Nearly Bankrupt.
(By Associated Pressl

Paris, March 26-Persistent rumors
that all Europe is on the verge of a
financial collapse are not justified by
facts, prominent American financial
expert, who has been studying the
problem facing the peace conference
for many months, said in statement
today. He said conditions are serious
but not panicy and will doubtless be
relieved gradually when peace is
signed and embargoes lifted.
England's war debt is forty billion
but proportionately no greater than at
the close of the Napoleonic wars.
France is nearly bankrupt, but higher
taxes on wealth would meet the
emergency. Italy's courage in levying
higher taxes has helped her, but wit
the exhaustion Of her foreign credits
within six months, may create SER
ious situation. With the prospect
that Belgium will get priority in the
Germany war indemnity, the situation
there is not so bad as the Belgians
imagine.

Dispatch From Frankfort Says Work
of McDougle's Commission Is To
Be Contested In Courts.
(By Associated Press)

Louisville, March ga Frankfort
special to the Times says the whole
state text book adoption is going to
be thrown into courts, according to
reliable information and if prepared
suit to enjoin it succeeds, the State
Text Book Commission of which Gov.
Stanley is chairman, will be compelled
to open new bids and let the contracts

The contracts aggregate between
three and four million dollars. The
alleged ground for the action is that
the Text Book Commission violated
the law by changing more than 80 per
cent of the subjects, particularly in
grades.

Oil News

It was officially announced by Pres
ident Balthis, of the Dominion Oil
Company, yesterday that the deal
whereby the Old Dominion Oil Com
pany was reported to have purchased
the Belle Point Company has been
definitely called off. This means that
the Belle Point will, as originally
planned, operate the holdings pur-
chased from the Hopewell Petroleum
Compan for price said to have been
$500, 900.
These holdings consist of 1904 a.
cres south of Big Sinking Creek in
Lee county, including the 900 acres on
the Jefferson tract and the Shearer
tract. There are 13 wells on the Shear
er tract, but the Jefferson tract has
not been tested and is a matter of
speculative interest. The Hopewell
Petroleum was capitalized at but $75,-
600, being organized sometime ago. If
the reported price is correct the Hope
well owners made large profit on the
transaction.
Officers and chief holders of the
Hopewell Company, which it is
thought, will pass out of existence
with the consummation of this trade,
are Bruce Haldeman, president; Ches-
ter Gourley, vice president, and J. A.
Voolfolk, secretary and treasurer
these three comprising the board Of
directors with John Hachneister and
j. Stoddard Johnson.
President Balthis' statement puts g
|quietus to the report that the Ole
Dominion Company would take ovel
the Bell Point Company on the basis
Iof -one share of Old Dominion with E
! par value of $100) for $50 shares Of
! Bell Point with a par value of $1)
As the recent market value of the Olt
Dominion is around $500 and the cap
Iitalization of the Bell Point is 81 200,
900, on this basing the Old Dominion
would have been paying more thar
$4,000 for the Hopewell property.

MADISON MAN GETS
N. DOPE THIEVES
w. s. Fish Does Good Work For
Uncle Sam In Enforcing Narcotic
Law-May Return Soon.

Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
w. s. Fish, formerly of Madison coun-
ty, is doing some fine work for Uncle
Sam in catching "dope" statesmen in
New York. Mr.. Fish has only been
on duty in the east for few months,
but he has been in some big hauls.
He expects to be assigned to Kentuc-
ky again at no distant date. Mr.. Fish
is son of Mr.. w. C. Fish, of Rich
mond, and has many friends at his
home here who will be interested in
the following from the New York Sun
about one of his raids:
Federal Agent H. B. Dobbs, "came
to town yesterday" made up as far
mer, carrying a satchel containing
81 900 in marked bills. He was sup
posed to be one Martin of Philadel-
Iphia. In Chambers street, near Broad
way, he was approached, according to
appointment, by Nathan Paul, %, Of
No. 1887 Lafayette avenue, Brooklyn,
who, as the police story goes, ex-
pressed the regret that 200 ounces Of
"dope" which MARTIN" had arranged
to buy had been sent to Philadelphia,
but that he might be able to find the
required amount here.
Accordingly he took Dobs to place
at No. 66 Harrison street, where Jos.
|Poblinsky, truckman, said to have
prison record, is reported to have ex-
hibited trunk filled with codeine sui
phate. Dobbs, it is said, recognized
it as part of the 1,039 ounces, worth
$4,000, stolen a month ago from
Powers and Weightman, No. 14e
Front street.
Federal Agent Fish together with
Lieut.. Henry Sherd and detectives Of
the Narcotic Squad, having followed
Dobsb and his quarry, arrested Paul
and Poblinskl, who are now in the
Tombs.
Sharles Smith, alias Fisher, said by
the police to be well known to them,
was located in room at No. 352 Wesi
23rd street, a week ago. "Spuhy
Rosenberg, 20, No. 142 West 117th
tstreet, with prison record, it is said,
was seen then to carry satchel from
taxicab to Smiths room. Detectives
found the satchel containing a quanti-
ty of codeine sulphate said to be sto-
len from the drug house. Smith and
Rosenberg were held in $4,000 bonds
and are nowfi in the Tombs on charges
burglary ana violation of the Harrison
drug law The bottles seized at that
time and those taken yesterday are
said to be from the Front street drug
hoHse.

MAY SIGN TREATY NEXT WEEK

Paris, March 26-In the absence of
official communicates, the public learn
ed little about the meeting of the Eu-
ropean premiers and President Will
son yesterday but it is believed repair
alton for war damages was the first
serious problem they sought to solve.
1t is understood the British, French
and Americans agree on virtually all
features except the amount. The
eventual draft reparation articles in
the peace treaty are ready with ?
blank space for the amount.
After the reparation settlement,
comes the Franco German frontier
along the Rhine and with that out of
the way, the American delegates be-
Geve prompt conclusion of peace
treaty can be accomplished, possibly
not this week, but very shortly there
after.
Meanwhile the meeting of the Pres
ident and the Premiers continued into
the night. 1t marked the initial ster
in taking the direction of affairs and
in meeting apprehensions due to the
revolution blazing up in Eastern Eu-
rope.
During the day the Hungarian re
volt and its effects in bringing Bolshe-
vism into Central Europe also, with
out doubt, were examined. A huge
map prepared by experts showed the
vast extent of Bolsheyik authority
which embraces virtually half of Eu-
rope.
The Premiers also had access to re-
ports showing the extent of disorders
in all sections of Eastern Europe, in
cluding private reports of a grave
character around Odessa which have
not yet been made public.
Another feature unoficially made
public last night, showed a serious ef-
fort is being made in high quarters te
join together all the peace treaties
with Germany, Austria, Turkey ano
Bulgaria thus making one comprehen-
sive treaty in which Germany will be
linked with other Central Powers as
their responsible head.

tCOnIlnOeQ from rage One,)
rant for the arrest of an army officer
of Camp Lee. In the warrant the osfi-
Ger was charged with the murder of
Hattie LIpscomb. After investigation
at Camp Lee Sheriff Sydnor declared
he thought It bast to defer the execu-
ton OF the warrant and returned to
Richmond without prisoner.
Two men from Hopewell, formerly
employed by the Du Points with Hat
tie Lipscomb. the Bedford county girl.
viewed the body of the unknown wo-
man in Nelson's morgue Friday. They
were then showed the clothes found on
the body Of the victim. and after ex-
animation stated. to the satisfaction of
detectives. that the woman was Hat
tie Lipscomb. No doubt was left in
the minds OF the police that the tes-
timony of the two women was con-
elusive, although the father OF the wo-
man in question. w. F. Lipscomb, a
Bedford county farmer. had declared
| he could not identify the body OF the
dead woman as that OF his daughter.
/ The fathers attitude was regarded
as that OF a man who had his doubts.
The belief was steadfast In the minds
of police operatives that the dead wo-
man was one. who was alleged to have
| been involved with an officer of the
nearby military camp. The testimony
OF the jitney driver seemed to fit the
case in all details. ANd the warrant
was issued
| Name In Coat In Clue.
| A raincoat, found on the body of
the dead woman. closely resembled the
lordinary military raincaot, and on thor
ough examination a nane was found
written In inde1ible ink in the collar.
The name was almost i1legihle, since
the garment had lain in the water for
weeks. Bertillon Expert w. w. Toler
was called in on the case, and after
close inspection deciphered the name
of the coat. This name corresponds to
the name of an officer in Camp Lee,
who was under suspicion.
Detectives believed they were near
ing the end of the chase. and that n
prisoner with a preponderance of evil
dence against him. would in few
hours be behind the bars. charged with
the murder Of the woman whose body
is still unclaimed in the local under
takers establishment. Their trip to
Petersburg bearing no fruit, they sub
jected the jitney driver to further
questioning. He was taken to the Cock
ade City yesterday. but declared the
