Allies Reported to Have
Agreed Tentatively on
Preparations To Be Paid
in Thirty Installments
Note to Berlin on
Angglo-French Pact
Military Means to Enforce
Treaty To Be Discour-
aged, Says Lloyd George

SAN RENO, April 25 (By The As
sociated Press).-It is said that the
Allied governments have fixed tenta-
lively, as a suitable amount for Ger
many to pay in reparation for
damages, an annual payment of three
billion marks, figured at pre-war ex
change rates, for thirty years. (This
would make a total Of about $22000,-
000,000.) 1t is added, however, that
the German government will be asked
in the meantime to make the proposal
of lump sum.
1t is understood the fixing Of the sum
which Germany must pay the Allies
was an extremely important point in
the agreement reached by Premiers
Millerand and Lloyd George regarding
the Allied policy toward Germany. This
agreement says it is in the interest of
France to fix the amount Germany is
to pay, at meeting to be held early
in May in a Belgian city, where rep
resentatives of the Allies will meet
representatives of Germany.
Note to Germany Framed
The agreement between Premiers
Millerand and Lloyd George was pre-
sentcd to the Supreme Council late
this afternoon and will form the basis
of very stiff note to Germany, which
will be ready for signature tomorrow
by Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan
and Belgium. The United States will
not sign the note.
Either the declaration or an authori-
tative condensation will be made public
tomorrow, Mr.. Lloyd George an
nounced tonight.
"1he document is the result of pri-
vate conversations between Premier
Millerand and me, which resulted in
complete agreement upon the policy to
be adopted" said the British Prime
Minister. "The document will be COM
municated to the press tomorrow, and
the public can then form it's own i'm
pressions"
Discourage Military Means
Mr.. Lloyd George, replying to ques
tions, also said: "We have discouraged
the use of military means to enforce
the treaty when not necessary to use
them. My statement to the House of
Commons is perfectly clear. My view
is that Germany should not be prevent
ed from restoring order in Germany.
The same thing happened in France in
1871, when Germany proposed to put
down the Commune. Thiers objected
because the intervention of foreigners
would tend to make the Commune pop
ular. No one has the right to say we
are not prepared to use military force
to enforce the treaty"

ATLANTIC CITY, April 25.-A pair
of khaki overalls brought about a
thrilling aerial battle over the resort
this afternoon. Thousands of persons
along the Boardwalk saw two lieuten-
ants in struggle against death hum
dreds of feet above them.
A big DH-4 aeroplane used in
coast patrol work, going at terrific
speed, suddenly went into a dizzy spin
following a fash of something from the
cockpit that caught on the rudder.
The pilot brought the plane out of the
spin, only to go into another. The
aerial acrobatics continued for several
minutes, then the craft went into a
wide circle. tumbled and then straight
ered out into forced landing at the
Curtis airport at Albany Avenue.
Lieutenants Galley and Martin. of
New York, were aboard. The weird
evolutions were caused by overalls,
which had been lifted from the cock
pit by the wind pressure and caught
in the ruddcr. jamming the control

the shutters of the rudder beyond

N. J. Candidates
Announcement They Will

erential Contest Throws
Fight Into Grab BAG
Wood Men Are Confident
Johnson Managers Are
Certain of Winning in
the Primary Tomorrow

With both the Wood and johnson
managers claiming victory in to-mor-
rows primary, in which New JERSEY
Republicans will choose twenty-eight
delegates to the Chicago Convention
and express their Presidential prefer
ence, the closing hours of the cam
paign found the state facing the most
complex political situation in years.
The names of General Leonard Wood
and Senator Hiram w. johnson are
the only ones that will appear on the
preferential ballot. In nine of the
twelve Congressional districts there
are opposing Wood and johnson
tickets. In the 1st, I'd and 4th dis
tricts the candidates for delegates are
running unpledged with the UNDER
standing that they will abide by the
preference vote in their districts.
There is complete Wood "Big
Four" running, composed of Edward
c. Stokes, William N. Runyon, John
W: Griggs and Thomas L. Raymond.
johnson has only two candidates for
delegates-at-large, Mulford L. Ballard
and Thomas R. Layden.
Action Of Senators Causes Upset
United States Senators Joseph S.
Frelinghuysen and Walter E. Edge sre
also candidates for delegates at large.
They have announced they vial vote
in the convention, if elected, for the
candidate for President who wins the
preferential contest.
1t is the entry of Edge and Freling-
huysen into the race that has turned
what would otherwise have been an
Wood and johnson into political
grab bag. from which anything is
likely to be drawn.
Several days ago Angus McSwecn,
Johnson's Eastern manager, called on
the Calfornian's supporters to COM
plete their "Big Four" on primary day
by voting for Edge and Frelinghuysen.
This brought a storm of protest about
McSween's head. One Of the first to
don, Republican leader of Hudson
County, who sent out word to his fol-
lowers to vote for none but delegates
specifically pledged to johnson. Sena-
tor Johnson shimself is also said to
have frowned on the attempted bar
gain with Edge and Frelinghuysen.
Organization May Support Wood.
But the two New Jersey Senators did
not confinc their invasion to the John
son ranks. Except in Hudson County,
the Republican organization had been
counted on to support the "Big Four"
candidates pledged to Wood. Support
ers of the general, who are for him
first, last and all the time, got some
thing Of shock Saturday, when they
received through the mail sample bal
lots marked for Wood in the prefer
ence column, but for Edge and Fre
linghuysen instead of Runyon and
Griggs for delegates Large.
The politically wise agreed yestcr-
day that this prcsaged that the organi-
zation, save in Hudson, would support
Wood for the preference and Stokes,
Raymond, Edge and Frelinghuysen for
deicgates-at large.

Majority Leaders Silent
Sweets Power Is Broken:
Bills We're Relentlessly
Smotllered and Forced
From a staff CORRESPONDENT

ALBANY, April 25.-The Legislature
hnally got through it's labors a few
minutes after 2 o'clock this morning,
and within the next twelve hours most
of the members of the 143d annual ses-
sion of the New York State Legis-
lature had departed.
The minority leaders, Senator James
j. Walker and Assemblyman Charles
ID. Donohue, issued q statement attack
ing the majority leaders. Governor
Smith also issued broadsde in which
he declared the Legislature not only
defeated measures which meant gain
for humanity but it attempted to move
back the hands of the clock Of prog
ress.
The Citizens Union, in it's usual
summary Of the work of the Legisla-
ture, said that "thc session Just closed
will go down into history as a brain
storm session."
But for the first time in the recol-
lection of Albany's oldest inhabitants
the majority leaders Of the Legislature
failed to make single word of COM
ment on the work which they con-
trolled.
Majority Leaders Discreditcd
The fact is that the actual majority
leaders, Speaker Sweet and Senator ].
Henry Walters, are regarded as
through by the influential members of
their party here and without the Legis-
laturc.
There is an unmistakable revulsion
of feeling toward them on the part Of
ihe ADLER Republican members of both
houses. Both have resorted to tactics
never before known in Albany-an at
tempt to silence criticism by attacking
as advocates of Socialism all those
who dared to tell the whole truth re-
gard'ng the proceedings in the Legis
laturc.
Republicans in and out of the Legis-
laturc who attacked Sweet found them
selves labeled as friends of bomb
throwers by the Sweet followers, who
were, singularly enough, led by Tam
many men.
The nominal majority leader of the
Assembly, Simon l.. Adler, of Roches-
ter, who refused to be whipped into
llne DY o"cet TO vote Tor the expulsion
of all five Socialists, was permitted
by the Sweet contingent to be little
more than tigurehead after he refused
to knuckle down to the boss of the
lower house.
Friends of Sweet circulated a round
robin calling for the deposing of Adler
as majority leader. This round robin
would have been successful but for
second thought which seized its orig
inators, and so Adler was permitted
to continue as the nominal majority
leader of the lower house One of the
favorite methods of the Sweet crowd
was to threw some of their number
around those who were opposed to
Sweet. These Sweet followers would
pretend they opposed Sweet and were
ready to join in any revolt against the
Speaker. In this way they learned the

against Sweet by Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and his friends, and thus

Edward A. McHugh. leader of the
outlaw railway strikers in this dis
trict, announced yesterday that the
brotherhood of Railway Trainmen had
expelled nine locals in the jersey dis
trict, comprising about 1000 men, for
calling strike without authorization.
This places the strikers in a most dis
advantageous position, the Federal
Railroad Labor Board having decided
it would deal with the men only
through the officers of the brother
hoods.
Local 80, of Jersey City, comprising
employees of the Jersey Central and
headed by McHugh, is one of those ex-
PEELED. The others are Local 333, Jer-

ment.
Officials of the Lackawanna and Eric
roads predicted the train service would
be normal by the middle of the week
There is still some confusion because
of the difficulty Of assigning the men
to jobs, the old positions having, in
many cases, been filled by substitutes.
Several commuters who planned to
return to New Jersey by way of the
Hudson Tubes were turned back at
Z o'clock last night at Cortland Street
and directed to the ferries. Hoboken
trains ran all day under the six-minute
headway. and there was a ten-minute
interim between trains on the Summit
Avenue line. Officials said no extern
tlon of the service was possible under
present conditions and no date could
be fixed Tor a resumption of full tube
service
The five hundred odd strikers at
Grandview Hall were mainly Hudson
Turc employees. Commenting on the
dropping by the brothcrhoods of over
forty locals of their organization as
Il punishment for participation in the
unauthorized strike, Chairman Nc
Hugh intimated the locals whose char
