Prisoners Landed There Yes
terday in Irons

New Orleans, La. March 23.-The
five men landed in irons yesterday
from the American steamer RuShville
which brought them from Rio de ia
neiro at the request of the American
consul there, still were held behind
Il screen of secrecy today.
Detained technically at the parish
Jail on charges of mutiny on the high
seas, but said to be suspected OF
knowledg of the September Wall
street bomb explosion, the men were
allowed to have no visitors and were
carefully guarded by federal and par
iSh authorities.
Whether the men will be taken to
New York for trial on the charges OF
mutiny. this being the first port of
entry, will be decided by the result
of the investigation department of
justice agents are making into their
alleged connection with the New York
disaster
SO far as could be learned here the
federal agents had not succeeded in
linking them with the explosion, but
were still working on this angle of
the case.
Just how their names were brought
INTO Cll6 wall street explosion Hdu uOt
been made clear here.
The five men, Phillip Bender, Lion
cl Kuebreezuff. Rudolph Dorsch, Hans
Randin and Henrik Lipan. shipped
out of New York as members of the
crew of the steamship City of Alton.
According to local department of
justice agent, the charge of mutiny
brought against the men grew out of
their demanding that ice water be
furnished by the master of the City
of Alton, it being charged that they,
through Bender. as spokesman, de-
clared that unless the ice water was
furnished they would refuse to work
This question was referred to the

FUNDS HELD FOR PEKIN 81
GOVERNMENT RELEASED TO
REGULAR CHINESE OFFICIALS

Peking. China, March 2R.--The'
funds allotted in the past to the
Chinese government but withheld
since the collapse of that regime,
were released by the consent of le-
cations interested for the use of the
Pekin9 government today. These
funds were part of the national reve-
nue and surplus and have been in the
hands of the financial commissioner.
The legations stipulated that the
money must be used for several spe-
citic purposeS-the reorganization of
domestic loans; payment of Chinese
diplomatic and consular salaries,
plague prevention and conservation
work on the Canton, or Pearl river.
The amount of money released was
approximately 13 per cent of the sur
plus or 100000 taels in gold.
This action here is regarded as
death blow to aspirations of southern
leaders who recently appealed to Ie-
cations in Peking for the release of
the funds for their use Acquiescence
to this appeal was blocked largely by
the firm attitude of the United States,
il is said.

Will Not DiSband

Paris, March 23.-Decision not to
dissolve militia organizations and the
Einwchnerwehr, or citizen guard in
Bavaria has been reached ON an
unanimous vote by the Bavarian gov
ernment, says a Berlin dispatch to the
Journal.
The note concludes as follows:
After the experts have conferred if
it is established there is a deficit in
the payments by Germany, she is
ready to begin negotiations with the
reparations commission regarding
the floating of loan abroad"
The reparatiOns commission met
this morning to consider the German
reply which was transmitted from
Berlin last night.
The Germans failure to pay is
deemed violation of the treaty of
Versailles which the commission will
report to the allied governments. The
allies will then determine what meas.
ures shall be taken.
1t is commented here that the Ger
man experts have been heard by the
commission, which listened to their
arguments before fixing the valuation
vi Tic Ncl lildH uSllNclIcS CIculISu as
payments against the 10000, 900, 900
marks. This valuation therefore was
considered final, since the treaty gives
the commission sole jurisdiction over
the matter.
The German reply does not answer
directly the commissions demand for
first payment of 1,000,000,000 90
marks today.
(This point, however, is covered on
the face of things by Germany's con-
tention of over-payment of the entire
amount due by May ~
There is nothing said in the note,
nevertheless, to show that it would be
impossible. for Germany to pay this
1000 100000 marks, which the repara-
tions commission knows that Ger
many has available in gold, as well as
in foreign securities, it is stated.
