Paris, Aug. %. - A recveivership
for Germany, along line suggested by
Sir John Bradbury, British represent
alive on the Inter-Allied Preparations
commission, was considered by the
French Today. If the plan is approved
an American may be proposed for re-

1t was understood that Sir John

assurances on their recent trip of in

strasse would accept a receivership
upon certain conditions, one of which
was that the receiver should be an i'm
partial citizen.
1t is reported that Chancellor Writ
suggested Frank A. Vanderbilt former
president of the National City bank in
New York, or some other American
banker, as receiver. Mr.. Vanderlip is
in England at present.
Members of the Inter-Allied Rep

Informally the new proposals that
Germany has made as the conditions
for a moratorium. 1t is expected that
the commission will not reach defin-
tie decision upon the moratorium be-
fore Wednesday.

day to bury Michael Collins.
From the great Dublin Cathedral,

A Man HUNT.

On Thursday night of last week
) the store or commlssaIE of j. d.
Covington, near Ellerbe, was enter
ed and quantity of goods hauled
away. 1t is understood that two
Smith boys and man named John
Ward were recognized. At any rate
warrant was sent to Robson
county for the arrest of Watt
Smith, and he was placed under
$500 bond for his appearance at
Rockingham for trial October goth.
The other two Smith boys, Eugene
and Clay, and John Ward were not
located.
Tuesday morning word came to
Sheriff Mcdonald, that the men
were near Longs store, on the
Montgomery county line. Officers
went there and finally traced the
ear to point in Beaver Dam near
Naked creek; the men were located,
and upon their refusal to halt were
I fired upon. They had partially dis
mantled their car in the woods. The
officers brought it to town.
Tuesday night the Sheriff receiv-
ed a message saying that the men
had held up DR.. Caddell near Hoff-
man and had tried to get his car.
This, however. later proved to be a
mistake. The Sheriff Wednesday
morning secured bloodhounds from
Raeford, but the dogs could not
strike a trail. And so up to today
Thursday neither of the three had
been caught AS to whether they
are guilty as charged remains to
be seen.
