Panic Move Fails
The attempt to create a panic IN
the Cabinet yesterday with the OBJ
jeCt of driving the government into
sending a new offer direct to the
allies on the matter of reparations
last night, has failed. The cabinet
decided to sit tight and await Presi-
dent Harding's answer.
In circles close to the government
the stand is taken that any direct
offer to the allies before the Wash
ington reply is made would justly
be considered a snuh by Secretary
Hughes and President Harding. who
would have every right to claim
that the matter had been taken out
of their hands by such action.
Still. there Is nothing cheerful
OF hopeful for the GermanS in the
press dispatches reaching here from
Paris and London. What purports
to be private and confidential ad-
vices from Paris are 10 the effect
that the attitude of the Washington
government is by no means in sup
port OF the French attitude, as the
Paris press endeavors to make out.
See ModIted View.
1t is even claimed that Washing
ton has made known in unequivocal
language 10 Paris that. while Amer
sea fully supports France in the
stand that Germany must pay to
the fullest possible extent. the
French mihtaristic plans cannot
bring in reparation money. and the
American people now consider an
amelioration of the economic chaos
Of Central Europe to the interest
of America.
Intimations from Paris would
seem to Justify the conclusion that
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes. withou wishing to place
themselves in a position where they
can be said to he doing anything
for Germany, none the less earnest
ly are at work trying TO flnd a solu-
tion which would mean the dawn OF
European peace reconstruction. II.
however, anything like that hap
pens il will come as a great surprise
to Germany.

U. S. Steel.

NEW YORK, April 30.-Judge Ell
bert II. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation, in
a statement today on the complaint
filed against that concern and
eleven subsidiaries by the Federal
Trade Commission, alleging unfair
competition, declared he will be
glad to have the whole matter fully
and carefully considered" and a
final decision reached"
The complaint alleged the corpor-
alton is engaging in unfair compe-
tition in interstate commerce, affect
ing 2,700 Independent" steel con-
Germs through employment of a sys-
tom known as the Pittsburgh plus

The corporation was given until
May 81 to answer the complaint.
Instituted by Buyers.
1T is a mistake to suppose that
the proceedings before the Federal
Trade Commission are directed
against the United States Steel Cor
poration. or any manufacturing con-
cern." Gary said. They were in
stituted by those who buy steel for
fabrication in points in the West
or Middle West.
The petitioners claim the base of
delivery of steel, on which to cal
culate purchasing costs, should not
be confined to Pittsburgh, but
should be extended so as to include
Chicago and perhaps other manu-
featuring points. The basing point
means that selling prices are de-
termined (. o. b. Pittsburgh and that
delivery prices are ascertained by
adding freight from Pittsburgh to
the point of delivery.
Designated as Basis.
pittsburgh, being the largest
steel manufacturing center years
ago, and long before the United
States Steel Corporation was
formed, was, by common consent,
designated by the general trade as
a basing point. This custom applies
to many, il not all, other lines OF
industry During the last few years
has been made by resi-
dents of localities other than Pitts
burgh that the custom referred to
resulted in building up Pittsburgh
and vicinity to the prejudice OF
other places.
Finally. about two years ago. a
petition was filed in behalf of the
of semihnished steel
with the Federal Trade Commission
asking the commission to investi-
gate and compel the fixing of basic
selling points at localities other
than Pittsburgh. A majority Of the
members of the commission, after
ong consideration. decided the COM
mission would not assume jurisdic-
.Ion.

Since that time the personnel of !

LONDON. April 30.-DeadIocked
on German reparations. the allied
supreme council adjourned tonight
until tomorrow, after four and
half hours of spirited debate.
The French representatives in
sisted on immediate punitive action
against Germany. while the British
and Italians favored a plan TO send
an ultimatum to, Germany setting
a period for acquiescence or re-
fusaI.
Situation More Complicated.
Immediately after the adjourn
ment Of the supreme council ses-
sion, Premier Lloyd George called
a meeting of the cabinet to consider
the attitude of Great Britain at
tomorrow's conference.
II was stated authoritativeIy that
the session was marked by sharp
divergence of opinion. The French.
represented by Premier BRAND.
stated their demand for immediate
occupation of the Ruhr valley and
clung to it despite all arguments
by Premier Lloyd George and For
eiSn Minister Sforza OF Italy.
The already complicated situation
was made more so by the report
OF the allied repsrations commits
sion. which yesterday declared Ger
many's total war Indebtedness to be
$500. 900, ,ooG pounds.
Acted Uader Treaty.
Members of the supreme council
recognized that ythe reparations
commission had reached it's decision
under the regulations laid down by
the Versailles treaty.
Lloyd George and the Italian rep
resentative were said to have
argued that the council would have
to take that fact into consideration.
1t would have to observe all the
terms of the peace treaty also. they
argued, in exacting penalties from
Germany.
The delegates were visibIy af-
fected by the long session. They
were silent as they left the meet
ing room and the tense feeling OF
the French delegation was plainly
evident.
Task Set for Experts.
Before the council adjourns il de-
tailed to a corps of experts the task
of investigating the latest phases
in the situation. The experts were
to prepare a clear statement of the
repsrations commissions dems nds.

Versailles treaty and a digest rc

BUYS SETTER HOUSE.

A deal was consummated, recently,
whereby Attorney Albert Pfaender of
this city became the owner Of the sub
stantial brick building and additions
at the corner of Minnesota and First
South streets, occupied by the Setter
House. Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Setter,
who have been in charge of this
hostelry for some years past, have de-
cided to retire from the hotel business
and will vacate the premises in the
near future. Mr.. Pfaender has not
announced as yet what his plans are in
regard to the structure. 1t is said
that he has received few offers from
prospective purchasers at an advance
in price. Several travelling statesmen,
now residing in the Twin Cities, have
requested him to convert the building
into an apartment house so that they
could occupy flats with their families.
At any rate, it is good buy, being a
very desirable, centrally located pro-
perty.

FARMER MYSTERIOUSLY
DISAPPEARS FROM HOME.
Anton Anderson of Charlestown

Since Sunday, May /.

Anton Anderson, farmer residing
in Charlestown township, Redwood
county, some seven miles west of
Springfield, mysteriously disappeared
from his home, Sunday night, May L,
and has not been seen or heard from
since. He was at Springfield during
the day with his wife and two children,
visiting at the home of Mrs. Anderson's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. P. Isaksen,
leaving the house in the evening and
stating that he intended to go to a
moving picture show. He drove the
auto home, secured his clothes, and
some personal effects, as we'll as two
teams of horses and wagon, and dis
appeared.
In spite of the fact that his wife and
her relatives have made inquiries in
neighboring communities and that a
diligent search has been undertaken
to locate the missing man, his where
abouts is still unknown and will
probably remain so, as no one seems
to have observed his movements.
There appears to be no reason for
Mr.. Anderson leaving home so sud-
denly and mysteriously. While he
had some debts, he was not hard
pressed for payment, as the banks
realized the present financial stress of

Mr.. Edison's love of music has
made the phonograph his favorite
invention. He spent over three
million dollars in research work to
perfect the New Edison.
Then, to prove its perfect real
ism, he stood the New Edison side
by side with the living artist and
matched its performance with the
actual performance Of the living
artist. No one was able to detect
any difference between the two.
This is the only true way to prove
