French Reiterate
Refusal to Allow
Use Of Soldiers

Paris, April 1.-Premief Millerand
today received DIR. Won Mayer, the Ger
man charge de'affaires, and went over
the situation in the Ruhr district with
him. The premier reiterated the terms
of his letter of yesterday dealing with
the question of permission. for German
troops to enter the Ruhr region in
which he said that military interven-
tion would be useless and dangerous.
He added that he French governme-.-
was taking steps to confirm the infor-
mation upon which its decision was
based.
The premier also conferred with
Marshal Foch respecting measures to
be taken in case the Germans at
tempt to send more of their troops in
to the Ruhr district. No apprehension
is expressed. however, that anything
further would result than an advance
of the French troops, dozen miles
or so in such a contingency. This ad-
vance would mean the occupation of
Frankfort and Darmstad. 1t is not ex-
pected, however that would provoke
any violent manifestation on the part
of the Germans. DR.. Won Mayer is
declared to have intimated that his
government might consent to such an
advance as a guarantee of the evacua-
ton of the Ruhr district by the aoui-
tional German troops, if they were al
lowed to enter the region.
At the same time there is much
skepticism here, even in circles close
to the government regarding the eff
ficacy or the desirability of such an
advance.

Money Awarded
Mrs. Dibbern Is
Refunded Today

The $4,000 awarded to Edna Blanche
Dibbern of Portland by the state In
dustrial accident commission about a
years ago as compensation for the ac-
cidental death of her husband, an EN- :
ploye Of the Grant, Smith Porter Ship
company at Portland, was returned to
the workmen's compensation fund bv
Mrs. Dibbern, "Wednesday.
The return was made voluntarily by
Mrs. Dibbern who visited Salem in per-
son for that purpose. her reasons for
the move, as explained in a letter to the
commission. being a desire to bring to
an end the trouble and worry to which
she has been put since the award was
made through the attitude of Lee Roy
Il. Kelley, Portland attorney.
1t was around this award of. the
state industrial accident commission
that Kelley has waged his attack on
the commission.
Case Well Aired.
After the commission had ignored
Keeley in making the award he filed a
suit in the courts of Multnomah county
to collect 40 per cent of the amount
or $1,000 alleged to be due him as at
torneys fees in connection with tne
award.
Later he charged that the award had
been illegally made in that as resi-
dent of Oregon Mrs Dibbern was not
entitled to lump sum award as repre-
sented by the $4,000 payment. This
contention was largely upheld by the
Marion county circuit court in a suit
brought by Keeley to compel the re.
turn of the money to the compensation
fund but the court held that isasmuch
as Mrs. Dibbern was an innocent party
in the award she could not be required
to return the money
/ Would Be Rid OF Trouble.
Only lately Kelley has petitioned the
Marion county circuit court for per-
mission to institute suit against the
members of the old commission tc
compel the return of the amount In
volved to the fund.
: In her letter requesting permission
to return the money Mrs. Dibbern ex
plains that the award has been 6
source of continual trouble and re-
views her experiences with Keeley in
his attempts to collect what he termed
his fee. Future awards to which ali
1 agree that Mrs. Dibbern is entitled un.
der the terms of the compensation act
/ Mrs. Dibbern leaves entirely to the dis
icretion of the commission.

hundred Japanese troops and civilians
were killed in two day battle with

laevsk. Siberia, according to Toxic
cable dispatch received by the Japa-
nese newspaper Nippu Jill here. The

The japanese consulate was burned
and the consul, NJ Ishidas is still miss
ing according to the cable.
The two day battle began March 1S.

Russian Loss Small.
Vladisvostok, Mar. 22.-Russian and
japanese troops clashed at Nikolaevsk,
a city located at the mouth of the
Amur river, March 1S, the Russians
reporting their losses as being forty
killed and eighty wounded. Belief is
expressed here that this encounter may
spread guerilla warfare through all
eastern Siberia If the Japanese Dc not
evacuate the country
Announcement by the Japanese com
mand here would seem to indicate a
change in the policy followed by that
country. In the past the Japanese have
been assisting Czech forces here but in
future they will devote their efforts tc
safeguarding Japan's special position
in Manuchuria and Mongolia. Evac-
uation of Siberia by the Japanese will
not be started, 1t is understood, until
the societ government at Moscow
reaches some form of agreement. with
Japan. The local provisional govern
ment has handed protests to the Japa
nese command regarding intervention
in eastern Siberia and the latter ha'
concentrated its forces along the Us
surf and Chinese Eastern railways
