Brake damned Tight

The remains of the Eagle fire truck
which were taken to the garage of
Anthony f. Munoz, the street COM
missioner. in Sheridan street shortly
after the accident Wednesday night,
have been closely examined in an ef-
fort to secure all the information
possible from the condition of the
truck as to just how the accident oc-
Cured.
Mr.. Munoz stated that the emer-
gency brake is jammed on so ight
that it cannot be released without
cutting the brake rods. which would
indicate that John Torgesor, the
driver of the truck, made one last
desperate attempt to stop the ma
chine before it plunged into the To-
com otive.
Mr.. MunoZ and other firemen who
knew the workings of the truck de-
clare that the report that the fire
truck was going about so miles an
hour is greatly exaggerated. The
truck never made over 80 miles Mr.
Munoz decIared and he felt sure it
was not going at full speed when the
accident occurred. He pointed out
that tn fact that "cut-out" is used
on these FIRE trucks making great
amount of noise, together with the
siren roaring and the bright led paint
give one tie opinion that the ma
chine IS travelling much fastec than

DENVER. Col, June 1S.-Imme-
diate development by the goverfs
ment of the Mississippi system as a
deep waterway in order to provide
work for unemployed was urged by
James Lord. president of the min
ing department of the American Fed
grafton of Labor.
Besides relieving unemployment he
said this enterprise would provide for
the establishment of ship canals,
would "also prevent floods for ever,
would reclaim millions of acres of
the richest land and do away with
yellow jack and malaria.
ut would require many years to
do this right. In the meantime while
the world is writhing in agony and
uncertainty this gigantic enterprise
would boom every line in human en-
deavor in our country; our unem-
ployed would be out to work, they
would require clothing. food. hous-
ing. payrolls, steel, concrete and ma
chinery and we would have open field
for a complete organization
Reclamation of desert and swamp
land and building of good roads was
also urged. to give work to the un-
employed.

immigration Bill
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Washington-The immigration re-
striction bill was passed today by the
House. By an overwhelming vote the
House rejected today an amendment to
the bill under which political refugees
from foreign countries would have been
permitted to enter the United States.
Another amendment permitting Donal
j. O'Sallaghan, lord mayor of Cork to
remain here, was thrown out on point
of order. Representative Mondell of
Wyoming, the Republican leader, plead
ing for defeat of the political refugee
amendment, declared it's adoption would
open the gates mot only to William,
the damned, but the emperor of Aus
tria and all the hordes from Russia
and elsewhere"
The measure went through without
a roll call and now goes to the Senate
where early action will be urged. I'm
der the bill immigrants from Europe
will be limited for II months after
next May 10, to 3 per cent of the
number of nationals of any country at
the time of the 1910 census.

Washington The United States
strongly desires" that there should
be a resumption of negotiations be-
tween Germany and the Allies regard
ing reparations, Secretary Hughes says
in note sent yesterday to Berlin re-
fusing the German request that Presi-
dent Harding mediate in the contro-
versy and fix the sum Germany
must pay.
Mr.. Hughes reiterates the Earnest
hope" of the American government that
Germany will formulate promptly such
proposals as would present a proper
basis for discussion and says if Ger
many will take this course, the United
States will consider bringing the mat
ter to the attention of the Allies.
Germany's request that the president
intervene as mediator in the repara-
tions dispute received yesterday thru
Commissioner Dresel at Berlin was in
the nature of an urgent appeal, ain
the name of the German government
and the German people"
The promptness with which Presi-
dent Harding declined to undertake the
role of mediator, occasioned little sur
prise in Washington and was received
with satisfaction by the Allied diplo-

mats. The German note was taken
the White House late yesterday
Secretary Hughes and the reply wen
forward a short time afterwards.
The answer contained just 128 words
1t said the American government coul,
not agree to mediate with a view a.
acting an empire IN a settlement of
reparations dispute but expressed tn,
deep concern of the United States wit
the question of obtaining an early an
just settlement and then suggeste,
that Germany come forward with jus
proposals for q settlement.
The United States is determines
that Germany shall pay to the limit
of her ability. This position has beer
repeatedly stated by officials of this
Harding administration and was made
perfectly clear in the American reply
to Germany's first memorandum t.
Washington received last March q.
Secretary Hughes told Germany the~
frankly that the United States stoos
with the Allies in holding Germany
responsible for the war and therefort
morally bound to make restitution te
the full extent of her ability. Ger.
many, in the memorandum under reply
had admitted her liability and saiG
she would welcome an examination b.
unbiased experts who would determine
how much she should pay.
Faced by the almost certain occupa,
ton of more territory by French
forces on May 1, Germany will lose n
time in accepting Americas offer, il
the opinion of the representatives here
of both neutral and allied governments
Their analysis of Secretary Hughes
reply has convinced them that while
the United States is anxious for re-
opening of negotiations it has no in
tention of bringing about situation
out of which Germany may emerge
with a greatly lessened burden They
point out that the best the United
States has offered is to consider bring
ing German proposals to the allies cir
manner acceptable" to them.
Official and unofficial reports from
Paris and London have failed to indi-
cate any modification of the allies de-
mands will be considered either at the
meeting Sunday at Lympne, England
between Premiers BRAND and LloyG
George, or at the general repartaions
council to be held early next week
Germany's desperate situation. it is
thought in some circles here, will cause
her to accept the American offer. \

WOMAN INJURED
IN AUTO CRASH
Mrs. L. Berger in Serious
Condition Following
Auto Accident.
OTHERS SHAKEN UP

Mrs. Lawrence Berger, iii Fremont
avenue, narrowly escaped death last
night when the seven passenger Nash
touring car in which she was riding
left the road near Pipers Grove. The
car was travelling at high rate Of
speed, it was said, and became unman-
agable. The car was being driven by
Max Lagenbach, who with party of
six were out for pleasure ride. The
car was travelling north towards Ra-
cine when the auto for some reason
left the road, and ran down the street
car track. This completely tore off two
wheels of the car but despite this the
car dragged seyeny-fve feet and then
crashed into a telephone pole.
Car Badly Torn Up.
Mrs. Berger was Immediately taken
to St. GATHERINGS hospital where it was
said that she was in a critical condi-
ton. None of the other passengers
were hurt with the exception of Law
renee Berger, who was hurt around
the head and hands. According 70
Deputy Sheriff Otto who made an in
vestigation of the accident, the car
must have been travelling at a high
rate of speed as it would have been
impossible for the car to have jumped
the railroad track and continue for
seventy-fve feet. The car. a Nash tour
ing car, belonging to Mrs. Max Lagen-
bach, is a complete wreck, and it was
said to be beyond repair Two wheels
were completely torn off and the chas-
sis badly damaged.

OFFERS GERMAN GOLD
by OCTOBER FIRST
Germany Makes New Proposition to
Allies Seeking Extension for
Payments.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)


Paris Germany, instead of either
agreeing or refusing to transfer the
gold reserve of the Reichsbank to oc-
cupied territory in the Rhineland, as
the Allied reparations commission had
demanded, has offered to agree not 20
export or permit the expectation Of
gold from Germany before October
next.
Germany's note in reply to the
reparations commission, delivered to
the commission today in which this
offer is rendered, says her profered
agreement would adequately protect
the Allies, who had demanded the
transfer because the second paragraph
Of Article 248 Of the treaty Of Yer
sailles, prohibiting the exporting Of
gold becomes imperative May l.
The second paragraph of Article 24s
of the peace treaty reads:
cup to May l, 1921, the German
governments shall not export or dispose
Of, ana Shall forbid the export or dis
posal Of gold without the previous APP
prevail Of the Allied and Associated
powers setting through the separations
commission"
This proviso was intended to pre-
Nnt Germany. should she feel inclined
CD do so. from disposinc Of anv Of her
@old holdings prior to final settlement
Of the amount and methods of her
separations payments.
