PARIS. May 17.-Reparations circles
here are confident that American
financiers will welcome an oppor-
tunity to float German loan in the
United States provided such a loan is
secured by proper mortgages on Ger
nfany's resources.
"Otherwise." say the European bill
lion jugglers. why should a man like
J. p. Morgan take the trouble to
leave his business and travel 1000
miles to talk the matter over?" If
he thinks favorably of the prospects
it will undoubtedly be after he has
sounded public opinion On the sub
ject.
With the United States willing to

indemnity problem. The Germans
feel confident that they can pay in

an international loan.
The negotiations between the al

8-HOUR DAY IN BUREAUS
FAVORED BY DAUGHERTY
Other Cabinet Members Refuse to
State Views Until Decision
Is Reached.

Officials for the most part contin-
ued silent today on the substitution
of the eight-hour day instead of
seven for federal employees, now
being considered by the cabinet.
Cabinet officers preferred to express
no public opinion until the matter
had progressed further and some de-
cision had been reached.
Attorney General Daugherty, how
ever, was the first publicly to declare
II. am in favor Of the eisht-hour
day for everybody" said the Attorney
General. Every one ought to work
eight hours"
Mr.. Dausherty explained that the
would not mean eight hours from
bell to bell, but eight hours of work,
exclusive of lunch. The Department
Of Justice, he said, had worked from
8 to for some time previous to
the daylight saving shift, and he
had always had difficulty in closing
his own office at o'clock
When the daylight-saving shift
was made the Attorney General
showed that he did not wish to dis
eliminate against the. employees in
work longer than the others. how
ever, and so half an hour was cut
from the day, which was changed to
the hours Of 8 to $3.50.
The subject Of an eight-hour day
had been discussed by the cabinet,
said the Attorney General. He gave
no indication. however, what proper
tion Of opinion in the cabinet had
favored the proposal.

. AFTER9-HOUR HUNT
Police Scour Entire Block and
Foil Crooks Seeking
$4,000 in Safe.
By the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press. =
NEW YORK. May Flour men
were arrested in loft building at 10th
street and 5th avenue today after
the police had searched more than
nine hours for burglars. All traffic
was diverted from the block and a
solid Gordon of officers was maintain
ed about it.
1t was the most spectacular man
hunt in New York in years.
Detectives crossed roofs into a
fourth story window of the building.
Suddenly they were attacked In the
dark. They returned the fire. Two
men were caught on the fourth floor.
Two others. sliding down the creased
elevator cables. were overpowered in
the basement
Crooks Seeking 100000.
The men were believed to have been
seeking 100000 reported to be stored
every Tuesday. night in a safe In the
building. The building is protected
by burglar alarm.
The detectives received a tip more
than two weeks ago that crooks were
planning a raid on textile concerns in
the block. They allowed the robbers
plenty of time to bore through the
-,
the band redhanded.
Smashing into the building in which
the crooks were working against the
adjacent wall. the detectives found
on the top floor a tunnel partly bored
into the wall and complete burglar
outfit. including dynamite. nitro
glycerin and storage batteries with
wires attached for setting OFF the
blast. Near the spot where the dyna-
mite had been inserted were blood
stains. indicating that one of the
crooks had hurt his hand in the Dor
ing process.
Fire Alarm Adds Excitement.
In the three minutes that elapsed
from the time the police smashed
into the ground floor. the crooks had
disappeared. No trace Of the band
could be picked up for several hours.
Several thousand people watched the
police at work with flashlights and
gas torches. securing every building
in the block from cellar to roof TO
add to the excitement false alarm
accidentally was turned in and fire
apparatus brought to the scene.
When there came the fusillade which
preceded the capture Of the quartet
the crowds scurried to safety. not
knowing when bullets might come
their way.

credit for so per cent of these rentals,

United States would take all of this

Further on the new bill states that

The comparatively new fish mar
kets on the waterfront and the pub

Southeast Washington, come under
this provision.

1000 COINS SPILLED
ON F STREET SAVED
BY BANK RUNNER

A thousand dollars worth of
quarters went scattering over F
street yesterday afternoon. when
the seal OF half-peck bag parted,
while a runner from the American
National Bank was carrying the
coin to the bank. at 1915 F street.
from the Treasury Department.
The runner established a reputa-
ton as premier quarter retriever
for the District by picking. up
1899 of the 1000 quarters.
He was aided In his hunt by Pri-
vate Detective Robert Hewlett,
who was passing by at the time.
The loss of one quarter worried the
runner on his return to the bank
and he put on his thinking cap to
figure out where the remaining
coin was. A light broke when he
remembered that he had been car
rying the big bag on his shoulder,
and he reached hts hand into coat
pocket and pulled out the 4.0ootn
quarter, walking up to present IL
to the receiving teller and to re-
ceive congratulations o., offlcials
upon the successful completion OF
his hunt.

NAVY CLASS OF 1881
TO SAIL on TRANSPORT
DESPITE SENATE VIEW

Referring to the action OF the
Senate In declaring that the ma
val transport Henderson should
not be used to take Annapolis
graduates of the class OF 1881 10
Japan, Secretary DENLY today ex-
pressed his belief that the plans
for the ship had been carried too
far to permit of any change AT
this time.
Under present orders the Hem
derson will leave Norfolk next
Saturday, taking on additional
members at Panama and San Diego.
Secretary Weeks. who is him
self a member of the class of 1881.
has found it impossible to make
the trip to Toxic. He said he
understood the plan to use the
transport Henderson involved no
additional expense to the govern
ment because the classmen and
their families were to go on that
vessel.
The ship. Mr.. Weeks said, was to
make the trip into the Pacific and
far east carrying stores and ma
val and Marine Corps personnel
to the naval posts in Pacific
waters. The Annapolis graduates
and their families, he added, would
pay their own subsistence, and
their being aboard the vessel
would not add to the cost of her
operation on a routine necessary
voyage.

turned out to be insufficient to win
him the nomination. -
senator Pepper had the support OF
most or the regular organizations in

whether he will be able to mold the
