TO Be DELAYED
House Leader Refuses to Set

Prospects for the enactment of any

day when Floor Leader Mondell
refused to set a definite date for
District Day..
BILLS TO FACE DELAY.
Cong. BENJAMIN X. Fochtl Of PeHn-
syivania, chairman of the Heuss
Disfrict COMMITTEES. held conferences
with Mondeli and announced after
ward that there wac no prospect OF
any District legislation getting
through short OF sixty to ninety days.
The press OF other legislation such
as the tarif. revenue revision. reclass-
incation will preclude the possibilities
of consideration of District measures
for some time to come. Mr.. Focht said.
URGES PREPARATION.
He urged the members of the COM

pare and expedite pending District
bills so that they may be in shape for

gress when the time comes, and when
that time is propitious for their en-

He was shot six times as he stepped
out of an automobile in front of his

D'Andrea had been a leading figure
In political feud that has swept
the Nineteenth ward for months and
to which several previous shootings,
several bombings and other acts of
violence have been attributed. He
was the political opponent OF John
of service in the Chicago city counciI.
During the recent campaign In
which Powers defeated D'Andrea for
seat in the council. the home of
Alderman Powers was wrecked by q
bomb, but no one was injured. A
few weeks later Paul Labriola. one OF
Powers henchmen, was shot and kilt
ed from ambush by assassins. who
have never been apprehended
The Shooting of d'Andrea apparently
was carefully planned. Hfs assailants
had concealed themselves IN vacant
apartment on the first floor of the
building where d'Andrca lived. As
d'Andrea assembled the steps of the
building firing began, Six bullets
lodged In the body of d'Andrea.
Although wounded, d'Andrca re-
turned his assailant's fire, emptying

firing came.

Germany had complained that she
could not begin her domestic rehabili-g

the exact amount of money that Ger

Now that information In detail is1 in
their hands. On the other Aand thA
allies claimed that the international
commercial situation would remain
uncertain until Germany made de-

debts. This move has now been made.
The United States will not receive
any OF the German Indemnity, but
America was kcenly interested in this
issue for several reasons. II was felt
by the Government at Warrington that
the uncertainty over Indemnity was
retarding a return of world normalcy.

Germanyunreservedly accepts all OF
the ternH of the allied ultimatum
it was anupunced today following the
vote in the Reichstag which favored
acceptance by large majority.
TO ACT AT ONCE.
Immediate steps will be taken by
Germany TO begin fuiniiine the En-
tente's demands. IL was declared.
The new cabinet, whose.tssk 1t is 20
sign the ultimatum Is of the same
political complexion as that which az
cepted the treaty of Versailles. Its
chief members are;

REICHsTAG RECEPTION.
The action of the Reichstag was re-
ceived with varying emotions. The
industrials and the Bavarians opposed
acceptance, but the leading Socialists
contended that IL was the only thtng
that could be done under the circuin-
stances. The chief argument OF those
who favored acceptance was that II
would preclude further military occu-
patton of German soil by Allied troops
The vote was 221 in favor of ac-
ceptsnce and It's against acceptance.
The government stated that mes-
