Four main subjects were taken up
during the conferences:
1-Disarmament OF Germany.

3-Indemnity.
+Trials Of German war offenders
Germans signed the disarmament
and coal protocols, while the war
criminal trials and indemnity were re-

to threaten the Germans with an ul

the Ruhr district with allied armies.
POSITION Is DIFFICULT.
The Germans pointed out that Ger.

the great increase in the amount OF
floating currency, which makes it in
creasingly hard for her to meet her
national debt. 1t was declared that
the allies must see to 1t that she

to pay her external obligations.
The Germans wero said to be At

handbooks have been the standby OF
piker bettors on the ponies for many
years, but the progress OF events and

newest thing In hsndbooks, the police
say. is the automobile book or tin

For several days word has gone
around among those whose eternal
hope is to make a killing on 4 long
shot. IL Is said, that IL they wanted
an opportunity to put a little money
on the races II would be well for
them to look for Ford car bearing a
certain Maryland license. The magic
license number. II was said. would
spell opportunity for them.
But as such things go. the police
allege, the tip was not confined to
those who like to do a little betting
now and. then. The police also
learned OF this car with the cabalistic
number and began looking for It as
earnestly as any piker with a dollar
or two to place on a long shot.
Police Sergeant Williams and
Patrolmen Hennick and Quinn were
assigned to the task OF locating the
alleged travelling poolroom and catch

say, they found 1t.
An automobile stopped for few
minutes at Preston and Brevard
streets on signal. II is claimed. from
Charles A. Roeder and Samuel j.
Tingler. A brief conversation was
held with Jesse c. Seascholtz, who
was operating the car. Something
other than conversation Is said to
have passed between the men on the
sidewalk and the man in the car. and
then. police say, a notation was made
In a little book.
The men on the sidewalk were
gathered in by the police as they left
the automobile and so was Seascholtz
and his car. At detective headquar-
ters Roeder and Tingler are said to
have admitted that they had placed
bets on the races with Seascholtz.
Seascholtz was taken to Northwest
