Plan to Check Financial
Chaos Prospect.

ondirkry debtors are given los

ciaI obligations, and banking in
stitutions are given 1876 days IN
which to return deposits, under the
provisions of the law ending the
Cuban moratorium. In both in
stances a partial payment plan is
provided for. The text of the law
was made public by the State De-
partment yesterday.
Drafted by Crowder.
Mai. Gen. Enoch Crowder, Judge
Advocate General of the United
States Army, who was sent to Cuba
by President Wilson to advise with
President Menocal regarding the
financial situation in Cuba, is un-
derstood to have drafted the law.
In the case of ordinary debtors,
or those with financial obligations
growing out of bills of exchange,
drafts, notes and other credit doc
uments Of a mercantile character,
Is per cent of the amount is to be
paid within fifteen days after the
act became effective, which was on
February /.
An additional rs per cent must be
paid within forty-five days; 25 per
cent within seventy-five days, and
the remaining 35 per cent within
los days of passage of the act
The only exception is to obliga-
tions which have to be met with
proceeds from the sale or pledge OF
cane, sugar, or molasses, which
must be fulfilled in accordance with
the terms originally agreed upon.
Bank Provisions.
The payment plan adopted for the
return of deposits by banks is as
follows: Fifteen per cent within If
teen days; is per cent within forty
five days; 90 per cent within sew
enty-five days; 25 per cent within

debtors nor banking institutions,
however, can share in the, BENEFITS
of the law without first formally

ban treasury. No interest is al
lowed for these deferred payments,
nor do the provisions of the act
apply to funds Of any kind belong
ing to the state, the provinces or
the municipalities.

BRITISH PROTEST
u. S. HEAD TAX

LONDON, Feb. s. - Investigation
of a statement in the House of Com
mons by ]. Jones to the effect that
the American government does not
live up to its promises regarding
the, refunding of the American head
tax to aliens passing through the
United States, has just been COM
pleted by Consul General Skinner,
and shows that Mr. Jones' memory
is slightly at fault. Mr.. Jones dec
laration caused considerable stir,
coming, as It did, at the time Amer
ican charges for vises were beinS
attacked as entirely too high, little
digs at the United States being
heard from less influential mem
bers of the Commons. Mr.. Jones'
charge was that when he went to
Canada via the United States he had
to pay the equivalent of IS for a
head tax besides $40 for a wise He
said when he arrived at Montreal
he applied in, the usual way to the
steamship company for the return
of his $s, but instead got "only one
fourth what he had paid"

Georges Carpenter, who is soon
to meet Jack Dempsey for the
worlds heavyweight title, is the
greatest diplomat in the world to-
day,.in the opinion of Princess Eliz-
abeth Bibeseo. only daughter of
Herbert Asquith. former Premier of
Great Britain, and wife of the newly
arrived Rumanian Minister to the
United States.
Art and sport are the real league
of nations, she declared. r-
pentier, in winning the support of
the majority of the English people
at the time he fought Beckett in
London, accomplished a feat which
no diplomat had ever touched" She
predicts that he will have equal
success in America.

she seemed more the Princess of
Southern Europe than the daughter
of a distinguished English states
man.
Hovering in the background was
the handsome young prince. Al
though the deepest affection very
obviously existed between the two
the princess showed that she con-
sidered her views on modern dipIo-

Hangman S Rope
Least in Minds
: of Mingo Clan
Another Sunday Cele'
brated MerriIy in Jail.
Despair of Jury.

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, Feb. g.
This was another merry making
Sunday for the -twenty-one Matewan
defendants in the county Jail here.
Many of them again had their wives
and sweethearts - some of them
their babies-with them. The hang
mans rope, which is to be their
penalty If they are found guilty Of
the murder of Detective Albert
FeIts, was evidently the farthest
thing from their minds.
The tentative jurymen-there are
eighteen now were allowed to
spend the Sabbath with their fam
lilies at home, being excused till
noon tomorrow. Practically all 9TH
ers officially connected with the
case likewise were out of town. But
two stenographers and three typists
were condemned to spend the sun
shiny day inside, transcribing 1900
pages, constituting ten days of ex-
animation of veniremen.
Wade n. Bronson, county prose
cutor, expressed strong doubt today
as to whether a jury can be OBJ
tanned in Mingo County. The de-
fense is determined to make every
effort to obtain one.
Tomorrow's hearing is expected
to witness an important motion by
the State, the nature of which is
closely guarded tonight.
1t was learned tonight the State
will ask the elimination of several
tentative jurymen.

Protests Move
For Curtailing
Consul Service

Stating that the United States
cannot afford to have mediocre
business men representing 1t In
foreign countries" Col. Fred Card
way, vice president of the Packard
Motors Export Corporation, yester-
day sent a protest to all New York
Congressman against a proposed
cut of ss5e.oo0 In the diplomatic and
consular appropriations bill. :
America has accepted an impor-
tant role in the commerce Of the
world. and the protection of our in
ternational trade is now a respon-
sibility that cannot be evaded," says
Col. Cardway. The time is near at
hand when we must extend credits
to the foreign purchasers of our
goods. 1t is to the United States
consuls that we must look for the
protection of these credits, which
in many countries will total hun
dreds of millions OF dollars.
You are no doubt familiar with
the invaluable assistance rendered
by the consular service in building
our export trade, approNimating
SO. .00e, 900, 900. l am convinced that
the amount now paid in salaries
to maintain our entire diplomatic
and consular service is considerably
less than $4,000
That anyone should believe that
this sum is too large to spend for
the protection of American interests
in the markets of the world is In
conceivable. To decrease this ap-
preparation would, in m yopinion,
jeopardize not only the efficiency
but the very existence of the Amer
ican consular system"

FIREMEN RESCUE
THREE in BLAZE

Fire.

Three persons were carried to
safety from a third-foor apartment
at 1874 Seventh street northwest
last night when fire, originating IN
the store of Morris Schwartz, mil
inery and women's clothing, on
the first floor of the building, spread
rapidly through the store, sending
clouds of smoke through the build
ing.
Miss Leila Beach, who occupies
the third floor apartment, was car
ried to safety by firemen, while
Harvey Ember, of 1918 Girard street
northwest, and E. w. Dye, 1853
Four-and-a-half street southwest,
were also brought safely from the
building.
The blaze was discovered in the
store shortly before o'clock by a
passerby, who Immediately sounded
the alarm, bringing three engine
companies and No. truck. With
fire had gained considerable head
way.
Members of No. 4 truck ran lad
ing and brought the three persons,
whose escape was cut off by the
smoke, safely from the building.
The fire was confined to the first
floor and resulted in damage placed
by the police at $4,000.

Americans MisJudEed.
The American people have been
greatly misjudged by some Euro
nean writers who have denounced
them as title le-worshippers despite
protestations of democracy in other
regards, according to Princess. BIZ
besco. 1t is true, she said, that
there exists a certain type of Amer
lean who toadies to European title
holders but in no greater proper
tion than the same type is to be
found in other countries.
This type unfortunately, she con-
fessed, is the one which focks
around foreign visitors or celebri-
ties and the Princess admitted to a
great desire to meet in larger num-
bers the real Americans of culture
and understanding. 1T Is because
you possess so large a proportion Of
that class that the other type stands
out in the memory, of unthinking
critics." she said.

BLAST DISABLES
TRANSPORT AT SEA

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-An eIplo-
sion in the engine room Of the U.
S. army transport Cantigny has
disabled that ship thirty miles out
at sea, according to wireless re-
ports received here today.
The vessel was believed to be
tossing helplessIy on the sea and
an army tug was Immediately dis
patched to tow her to port.
The Cantigny left Hoboken yes
terday with a detachment of United
States troops aboard. Officials at
the port of embarkation refused to
give the number of troops and de-
clared they believed the vessel in
no immediate danger.
A wireless was received from the
vessel at 3 a. m, today stating
that one of her turbine engines had
burst and that she was unable to
proceed.

Reparations Commission
Fixes Sum i'm Excess of
Indemnity.
PREPARE TO ASK
PAYMENT IN FULL
If Teutons Decline Treaty
Terms Will Hold,
Officials Say.

PARIS, Feb. 6.-Although the al
lied premiers took the Versailles
treaty into their own hands at the
Paris conference and agreed on an
indemnity of 226,ooo, 100000 marks
to be paid in forty-two years, the
reparations commission still is fe-
verishly at work preparing Ger
many's war bill, according to the
same treaty, and it was indicated
today from the best sources that its
estimate of war damages would be
much more than 100000, 900, 600
marks gold.
This not only is upwards OF 1OO,-
900, 900 marks gold in excess OF what
the Germans now are asked to pay,
but also, according to the treaty
must be paid within thirty years.
Is Better Bargain.
Thus, it was explained to your
correspondent by a French states
man, IF the Germans come to the
London conference with any idea
that they negotiate a lower figure
and plead poverty, we can only re-
fer them to the figures of the repa-
rations commission. They must
nay $4,000, ,000,0 marks and Il u
par cent export tax, which is bet
ter bargain than the reparationS
commission will offer them"
Andre Tardieu declared in the
chamber in his Interpolation OF
Premier BRAND that the total sum
including export tax, would be only
81 {, ,000, ,O0o, 900 marks. 1t is vari-
ously estimated that the damages
Of the German campaign in France
alone could not be repaired under
zoe, 900, ,OO0. 900 francs gold. But the
reparations commission received
further instructions anent the Paris
agreement, and the huge commits
sion. under Louis Dubois. Is. Ia sbor7
ing daily az the Hotel ASTORIA hay-
ing scores OF committeS meetings,
and its ramiications are extending
all over Europe. 1t may not finish
its work by May, as the treaty stip-
ulates, for 1t must add up the esti-
mates from every individual who
lost property in the war as we'll as
make inventory of the economic
wealth of Central Europe.
To Raise Protest.
But whatever the final sum de-
cided upon by the commission, il
undoubtedly would raise an indfg-
nant storm of protest in Berlin in
spite of the fact that the Germans
have the right to be heard before
accepting it. The Reichstag protest
against the Paris settlement was
not sincere, according to my infor-
mant. 1t Is the opinion among some
of the reparations officials that the
Germans will yield if the premiers
treat 'em rough and call their
bluff" at London. But Germany's
"can't-pay" attitude was, first, de-
signed to influence the German peo-
pie in the elections this month, and,
secondly, a part of the general pol
icy of Berlin to demoralize the en-
tente by delay on every decision.
French official said:
Germany is prepared to reject
any proposition, no matter hoY gent
erous it is, and II the entente lets
them into London with an idea OF
concessions the Germans will cause
more delay. 1t must be absolutely
a take-it-o -or-leave-it proposition"
