OCCUPY RUHR BASIN
If GERMANY FAILS
Allies Will Move Unless 100000
Tons of Coal is Delivered
November I.

Spa Belgium, July 15.-The allied
and German leaders, but not in formal
conference, went back to their nego
tiat.cns regarding the coal question to.
day and it was confidently predicted in
high circles here tonight that the
Germans would accept the essence of
the allied programme and undertake
to deliver 100000 tons of coal month
ly for six months, in return receiving
substan ial concessions.
The allied ultimatum. which was
prepared for delivery to the Germans
this morning, was sidetracked by the
latter coming forward with counter
proposals, which the Supreme Council
ldiscused at two meetings today,
The Germans offered to supply the
Allies with 100000 tons of coal a
month for six months, commencing on
August 1. The allied answer is that
! if by November / the Germans have
not delivered 100000 tons of coal the
Ruhr Basin will be occupied automati-
cally on November Is.
The Germans ask for cash payments
on their deliveries of coal of the differ
ence between the inland price and the
worlds market price, the balance to be
placed to their credit by the Repara
tions Commission, according to the
terms of the treaty Of Versailles.
The allied answer is to allow five
marks gold a ton to be added to the
pithead price to pay for the cost OF
screening the coal in-o different sizes
which premium is to be applied to the
purchase of food for the miners. In
addition to this the Allies will make
an advance of credit Of the difference
between the German inland price Of
coal and the world market price.

Pioneer Missionary in Hawaiian island
Born in Bennington.

The anniversary OF the arrival in
the Hawaiian islands of Rev. Hiram
Bingham, one of the pioneer mission
aries in the south Pacific, has been re-
Gently observed and the event is of
particular interest in this vicinity
for the reason that he was a native Of
Bennington, born here in October,
1889.
A copy of the Pacific Commercial
Advertiser, published in Honolulu, and
which contains extended sketches Of
the Bingham family, has been received
at the Banner Office.
The pioneer missionary, after many
years in the islands, returned to
America and died in New Haven,
Conn., in 1869. His work was con-
tinued by Rev. Hiram Bingham, I'd,
who spent much of his time among the
Gilbert islanders and who translated
the Bible into their language. Dur
ing his work among the Gilbertese he
travelled extensively from group to
group of the south sea islands and for
some time naygated the famous mis-.
sionary schooner Morning S,ar.
On one of his cruises the late Anna
Park, who died few years ago at her
home on Pleasant street, was pas
senger.
Shortly before his death in 1908 Rev,
Hiram Bingham, I'd, was in Benning-
ton.

New York yacht club since 1851.
The second race will start at noon on

the lead at the start and held it by
an Overwhelming margin, until, as

Iure craft saw her great area of beliey
ing canvas shiver and begin to sink,
/ futtering, down her mast, A sudden
gust had snapped her throat halyard
and a second later the jaws Of her gaff
were shattered beyond repair.
Capt Charles Francis Adams, I'd,
sent two men aloft to repair the
damage, while the stricken yacht
limped slowly around the turning
mark nearly five minutes ahead of
Shamrock ". A few minutes later,
however, the men descended. reported
the extent of the damage, and Capt.

horn but without effect. He had
brought his machine to a slow pace
within 80 feet of the animal before
he realized what it was, Instead CT
clearing out at the sound of the
horn, Bruin raised herself on her
hind feet, showing an immense ex-
Ipanse Of bear fur and replied with a

Having no weapons aboard and not
wishing to attempt to butt 400 pounds
of bear out of the road the Massachus-
etts man backed his machine to a safe
distance.
A motion in the bushes beside the
road showed that the animal prob
ably had a cub there and Mr. Oberg
decided that this was the reason for
her pubnacious attitude and appar.
lent lack Of fear of man.
Fully five minutes the animal
maintained its threatening attitude

appeared in the direction of its cub

ADAMS AMERICAS
PREMIER YACHTSMAN
Helmsman Who lYill Pilot ResoIute in
Cup Races 90 Considered by
BY Experts.

New York, Juy 15.--Gharles Fran.
.cis Adams End, the man at the wheel
who will try to steer the Resolute to
victory in her first race in defense of
the Americas Cup off Sandy Hook to
day is characterized by experts as the
premier American yachtsman.
He has owned more than a score
Iof yachts and has sailed nearly 100
small and large and some Of these have
been the best boats Of their class in
America and the world.
Mr. Adams is treasurer Of Harvard
University and member of the cor.
poration, a director in many companies
and in personal charge of trust estate
amounting to many millions. Years
Iago he became known to yachting as
sociates under the nickname of "Dea-
con- and some Of them still cal him
by that name
Born at Quincy. Mass, he came of a
long dine of seafaring men and inher-
! tied love for the sea He is credited
with calm Judgment and high type of
sportsman. hip. His father used to
take him sailing in Boston Harbor
when he was a child and by the time
he was II years old he was winning
races with his small boats. In those
| days he learned a lot about the tricky
side of races for rules we're lax.
In later years Mr.. Adams built and
sal ed to victory many notable yachts
most Of which bore names composed
Of seven letter with a double o, such
as Papoose, Baboon, Gossoon, Harpoon
and Rooster.
He was at the wheel of the famous
Pilgrim when she sailed a race against
the Vigilant and Jubilee for the honor
OF defending the Americas Cup in 1898
He sent his brother mate OF the
Pilgrim to the leeward rail to watch
the iib sheets as the yacht drove along
in smoky Southwestern. She heeled
so hard that George soon stood in wa
ter up to his knees.
Hey, there, Deacon" he yelled, Its
getting deep out here,
Il don't care if 1t comes up to your
neck, you stay there till tel you to
come out, replied Captain Charles. But
| the Pilgrim was defeated.
There may be "a happy omen in the
fact that Charles F. Adams years ago
blocked the aspirations of one little
Scotch cutter the Minerva, which came
to America and defeated a number of
American boats IN 1890 Her victories
were regarded as ominous and suggest
ed to yachtsmen the possibility that a
larger boat of her type would be sent
to carry away the Americas Cup. The
Minerva was sailed by Charles Barr
the famous skipper, who defended the
cup as skipper of the Columbia in 1901
and the Reliance in 1903. But Captain
Adams with his little Gossoon stopped
the victorious career by winning
two of three races
Captain Christianson, the profession
al skipper of the esolute has sailed
with Mr.. Adams before. He was quar-
termaster of the Pilgrim in the race
of 1893 and won MIR. Adams approval
by going out on the gaff dangerous
position, to fasten a sail that became
loosened while the race was on.

GLARING HEADLIGHTS
MUST GO, SAYS BLACK
Secretary of state Says AutomoblIst
Who Violate Regulation Will Be
Severely Penalized.

Rutland, July 15-"Glaring head
lights will have to co." declared Sec
retary of State Harry A. Black, who
was in Rutland yesterday looking af-
ter the matter Of automobile licenses
while on his way to attend the Cool
idge reception at Plymouth. There
are a lot of people in Vermont who are
insisting on using the glare headlights
in spite of the law, There is going
to be heavy punishment fer those who
persist in so doing he declared
This statement was made in reply
to a question in regard to the nest
drastic measures to be taken with
law-breaking automobilists.
Regarding the question of licenses
Mr.. Black said that many people
were using fakes.
"A number Of people" he declar-
ed, have registered only one of
their two cars. When they get
through using one car they simply
transfer the license to the other In
cases like this the punishment is Of
ten more tnan twice as much in money
as 1t would have cost the offenders to
take out a license in the first place.
Mr. Black said that there were more
or less cases Of people driving with
out licenses and also of children under
age, who we're not authorized to drive.
Mr. Black was next asked if there
were many cases of accidents which
were caused by drunken drivers.
I'VE have had some of those cases
reported" he said particularly near
the Canadian border There are also,
u think. many cases of drunken motor
lists, who are driving on open country
roads and who are lucky enough not
to get hurt"
The Secretary of State was inter.
rogated about the case Of Edward
Daley of Burlington who was recently
pardoned by Gov. p. w Clement after
being sentenced for manslaughter,
The only statement that he author
lied was to the effect that the )uero
fact that Daley was pardoned by the
governor does not mean that he is
entitled to an automobile license"
In reply to question regarding
Daley's obtaining license in another
er state, Mr. Black said that ii
couldn't be done unless Daley mis-
represented the facts Of the case OF
unless the authorities of the other
stae were ignorant of his being con
victod of manslaughter in Vermont
He can not drive car in this state.
