dispose of the case at this time and
urged Prosecutor Stricken to inve -ti-
gate the matter further and obtain
additional information from the men.
He told the defendants that If they
expect leniency, they should tell
everything they know.
In addressing the men in regard
to telling all they know about the
case. the court attacked the boot
leggers of this state and county, say
ing that they were responsible for
eighty per cent of the crimes before
the court during the past year.

carrying concealed weapons, etc.
lie mentioned the fact tina. the
bootleggers made efforts to make
themselves appear in an exalted po-
sition. Four of the men who origin
ally planned this holdup. and who
sold the booze for $4,000, are not
in the custody of the authorities.

u. s. NOTE TO GERMANY
REFUSING TO MEDIATE J
Will BE DISCUSSED
TBy The Associated Press. j

LONDON, April 22.-Dramatic ef-
forts on the part of Germany to IN
duce the United States to arbitrate
the reparations question between
Berlin and the entente governments
and refusal of the Washington gov-
ernment to sit in Judgment on the
merits of the vexing problems have
lent new interest to the conferences
on Sunday between Premiers LLOYD
George and BRAND. The expressed
desire of the United States that there
be immediate resumption of nego-
tiations has brought into the situa-
ton a new element as it has been
popularity supposed the two pCemiers
would consider plans for further oc-
cupation of German territory and
not a renewal of exchanges between
London, Paris and Berlin.
The new factor in the situation
makes it probable that Lloyd George
and NJ. BRAND will find themselves
called upon to make some sort -
answer in the implication of tn
United States note to Berlin that furS
ther negotiations should be com-'
menced.
1t is known that military authors
ties of France have perfected all
plans for occupation of cities and
towns In the industrially important
Ruhr district. and have formulated
economic penalties that will be put
into operation when occupation OF
these places has been completed.
Germany, at the same time, she
appealed to Washington. sent a COM
munication to the allies rejecting de-
mands that gold holdings of the
Reichbank in Berlin be deposited
| before Nav | in either Cologne or
Coblenz as security for reparationH
payment.
These holdings amounted to L.
| 091, 5000 marks on April Is. On
| the other hand the German shipping
delegation has reduced by 2,500,00O
| tons it's estimate of the amount OF
| shipping turned over to the allies
under the Versailles treaty. The
| Germans asserted that 4.600,000
tons of shipping valued at 1000. .000..
600 gold marks had been turned ovel
but she notified the ententes thai
an alternative valuation on a lowe
basis will be submitted soon. ------~e,
DIR. Walter Simon, German foref+Y
J minister, will speak in the Reichstae
| Monday or Tuesday and answer
questions as to allied demands and
the, position taken by the Berlin
government. 1t may be, that durins
his address he will outline the terms
Germany win offer the allies in het
attempt to avert an invasion Of the
Ruhr region by the French and the
enforcement of additional penalties
by the allies.
