 of Others

Pittsburgh, May 13.-A new and distinct type of criminal is supplant- ing the old class of outlaws, detcc- tives and criminologists representing $50 agencies. were told here recently when plans were perfected to form the International Secret Service asso- citation.
 This new class, while far more bold and daring. lacks the ingenuity of the old-time criminal. it is said. Where criminals in the past indulged in counterfeiting, forgery and swindling games that required patience swindg ecute, the newer and younger gener- ation, ranging in age from IT to 24, specialize in bank and mail robberies, train holdups, payroll thefts and other daring crimes, speakers declar- cd.
 With the object in view of com batting these criminals, the associa- ton, tentatively formed at Chicago last March. was organized formally here. The organization includes near ly every detective agency of import ance in the United States and will maintain offices in foreign countries. A clearing house will be established at Philadelphia through which mem bers may obtain information gathered by individual effort and with the CO operation of state and municipal au- thorities.
 The officers elected at the Pitts burgh meeting follow: J. B. Taylor, Philadelphia, president; F. F.. Boke, first vice president, Toronto, Can.; John F. Ferris, second vice president. Milwaukee,; F. H. Smiley. Chicago. secretary. and James F. Quigley. In- dianapolis, treasurer.

NEW CONFERENCE

BERLIN. March %. Omitted
Press More conferences with the
Allies are demanded by Germany TO
arrange for indemnity payments.
The Berlin government sent a note
to the Allied reparations commission
which stated that Germany cannot
pay the billion marks required to-
day.
There was some anxiety IN Official
circles While the reparauons note
setting March % as the date for the
initial payment was not regarded as
an uitimatum. Il was sharp and de-
finite. Some advisers OF the govern
ment feared that Germany was show
ing herself too much inclined 20
obstruct a final settlement and that
serious trouble might result.
Nevertheless. financial experts in
Berlin declared that the sum named
by the commission Is not available
To attempt so large a payment would
wreck the financial system OF the
country and precipitate further in
dustrial troubles, they declared.
AT the same time this class was
the most worried over possibility
that the Allies may decide TO infiici
further penalties II was known this
rFrench were incensed al the Ger
man attitude.
There was hope here that thl
Allied commission would reach a de

ReparatiOn Payment Re-

Putting on Screws"
BERLIN TALK OF
LOAN POSSIBILITY

PARIS. March % Omitted Press)
The possibility OF a further inva-
sion OF Germany arose today on re-
ceipt OF another temporizing note
from Berlin.
II was believed the allied repara-
tons would consider advancing al
lied troops into other rich Industrial
sections OF Germany. Conhscation OF
property was urged in some quar-
ters. proponents Of the idea declar-
ing the German government could
reimburse its citizens who lost prop
erty IN that manner.
The Allies had set today March
23, as the date by which Germany
must pay 100000. 600 marks on the
Indemnity account Instead Of the
payment, they received a note sug-
Eesting reopening OF the entire
discussion
The note stated that German ex-
perts would be put TO appraising in
demnity payments already made. II
the total did not reach the 10000
900. 900 marks TO be paid by May 1
OF this year under the peace treaty.
the note said an effort would be
made 20 float a loan.
II was stated. however, that such
loan would have TO be considered
IN connection with the entire indem-
nifty problem and therefore a re-
newal Of conferences was proposed.
French officials especially resent
ed the note. They declared Il ignor-
ed the demand for the payment set
for today and that IL showed the
Germans still were intent on nego-
tiating settlement on their terms
and in their own way The resent
ment was 50 keen that the repara-
tions commission was expected 20
be the center Of a fight to put the
screws on Germany"

Since early in the session there
has been more or less trouble trying
TO reach an agreement relative TO
building one or both Of these
bridges. Two sets Of bills were put
in originally. one set Of bills pro-
vided that the bridges be built by the
Levy Court and the other set Of bills
named commissioners In them TO
build the bridges.
II seemed impossible for the var

Kramer substitute bill passed last
night taking in both bridges and
simply leaving the building OF them
TO the discretion OF tho Levy Court
was the result.
Charles r. Grubb. county engi-
