III. S. FIRM ON
ALLIES DEBTS
Will Not Consider Idea of
Germany Taking Over
Obligations.

LONDON. April 19.-The United States
has given emphatic lntimation to the al
lies that it will not even consider the idea
Of letting Germany take over the debts
which the allies owe America.
It is learned authoritatively that this
is the substance Of the Washington gov
ernment's-so far informal-reply to the
suggestions that have emanated from Ber-
lin lately.
Secretary of States Hughes is believed
to have already made it known to the al
lied governments that the United States
does not contemplate re-entering the rep
arations discussions Of the supreme coun-
ell, all reports to that effect notw1tn-
standing.
Strong doubt was expressed by off
cials here today whether the German for
eign minister DR. Walter Simons, will
submit proposals that would prove sat
isfactory to the allies, especially France.
The conference Of allied statesmen Sat
urday at Hythe is assuming growing
magnitude In view of these facts Pre-

FORWARD
NEW ULTIMATUM
Tells Germans to Move Metal
Reserves by May l.

PARIS, April 19-The allied repara-
tons commission has served three-day
ultimatum on Germany demanding trans
fer Of all, the Reiehsbauk metal reserves
TO its Cologne and Coblenz branches, it
was announced today. In event Germany
rejects the ultimatum the allies viii de
mand complete surrender OF the metal
reserves.
The ultimatum demands that the re-
serves be placed IN the Coblenz aud
Cologne branches before May l. They
would be considered as assets OF the
Reichsbank, but that institution would
not be permitted to use them, except on
permission from the allies. The com
mission planned to hold the Reserves in
the branch offices until decision has
been reached on German reparatiORs.
Removal Of the gold and silver reserves
to the two cities named would put It In
territory under control Of allied and
American troops.

BRANCH SENDS
SIZZLING WORD
TO PRESIDENT
Enters Protest to Appoint.
ment of e. I. Lewis to
Commerce job.

Lieutenant Governor Emmett Forest
Branch of Martinsville has refused to line
up with the peculiar political combina-
ton that has practically succeeded in
placing z. l. Lewis, chairman Of the In
diana public service commission, on the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
Washington. He has sent a bitter tele-
gram to President Harding, protesting
in vigorous terms against the recognition
Of a man who has never turned his hand
over for the party" and who rs repre-
sentative Of the Indianapolis News, which
fought you so bitterly"
The lieutenant governors explosion has
somewhat Jared the nerves of the Re-
publican politicians who have been pro
ceeding placidly along the route, hand
fng ont Jobs here and there without thus
far stirring up muss.
Lieutenant Governor Branch's message
to the President is as follows:
''See by newspapers that E. I. Lewis
of Indiana is to be appointed a member
Of the interstate commerce commission.
I believe In efficiency connected with
party loyalty. Lewis has never turned
his hand over for the party. Our sue
cess is due to recognition Of worthy
party workers. This is the doctrine of
party workers N Indiana and as one
Of them, l protest against the selection
of Lewis for such an important place
when other Republicans Of ability and
party activity are available. OF course,
my position is only that of Lieutenant
Governor of Indiana and you know from
past experience president Harding was
ono Lieutenant Governor of OhiO) what
that means, but nevertheless reflect here
the sentiment of the rank and file Of the
real Republicans of Indiana who do
things in the State. Lewis is a repre-
sentative of the Indianapolis News, which
fought you bitterly"
Mr. Lewis is the selection of Senator
Harry S. New. whose principal object Is
to strengthen his line for the expected
battle for denomination against Albert J.
Beveridge Political leaders point out
now that Branch has broken the ice. that
Lewis never got down in the trenches and
worked for the party and for political
reasons few can see any great object 10
be attained IN his appointment.
1t must be remembered, however, that
Lewis was given his present place by
former Governor James P Goodrich and
that his election for the interstate COM
merce job is the first recognition ac-
corded what formerly was a formidable
machine in Indiana politics. 1t is not too
far to assume that Senator New believes
IN being on friendly terms with Goodrich
and that the appointment Of Lewis may
be one of the moves.

INNATE EVENS
UP OLD SCORE
Victim of Alleged Frame-up
Causes Arrest of 3 in
Tiger Raid.

Three men were arrested last night
Federal officers had raided a still in a
barn at DIR. Don j. Miller's truck farm,
3943 South Meridian street DR.. Miller
was one Of those arrested. The others
are John Noon, 1919 Blaine avenue, and
Victor Lockwood, 1921 Blaine avenue.
The plan to catch the gang dated back
to the time Lee Graham was arrested at
Martlnsville in company with four other
men some months ago on the charge of
operating a blind tiger, after Federal
agents had raided a big still near that
city. The court found Graham guilty,
but the agents failed to produce evidence
that indicated the others were guilty.
One of the men arrested but not con
victed at that time was Victor Lock
wood, it is said. Graham wanted re-
venge on Lockwood for the alleged
frame-up that sent him to the Indiana
State farm. The Federal officers gave
him his chance for revenge and ten days
ago obtained a parole for him from
Governor Warren I. McCray, that Ora
ham might find the still for the Federal
officers. Graham obtained the infOrma-
ton and then returned to the Indiana
State farm, from which place the Fed
eral officers are attempting to have the
Governor pardon him.
In the raid on the barn at DR.. Miller's
farm the Federal agents claim they found
two forty gallon stills and one fifteen
gallon still, $50 gallons of mash and
eighty four gallons Of white mule
whisky, and fltering outfit which is
said to improve the whisky. The barn
was arranged in such a way that the
odor Of the liquor and mash could not
escape. and it was fitted for living quar-
ters, with kitchen and cooking outfits,
beds and electric lights. Dr. Miller and
Noon gave bond after their arrest. Lock
wood is Ill at his home with pneumonia
and his condition was such that he could
not be moved

Throughout the administration of three
Governors the effort has been prolonged.
It originated in the Criminal Court of
