The Cabinet hopes to agree

The dual idea that Germany

official Washington with an un-

A loan to Germany Of a billion

The delay, 1t is said, Is due
to the fact that the decree Of

Tells How She Asked Him to
Escort Her on Visit to Tom,
and How Shooting Followed
By International New, Service.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. IA
Thomas Pollard, wealthy real
estate man and connected with
one of Virginia best-known
families, was accused today of
the murder of Mrs. Thelma R.
Richardson. The woman was
shot down in front of the
handsome home occupied by
Pollard in Richmond's most
fashionable neighborhood.
At the coroner's inquest held
today, ]. Mosley West, who ac-
. companied Mrs. Richardson in an
automobile trip that ended in her
death at Pollard's house, was the
principal witness.
SUGGESTED AUTO RIDE.
He said Mrs. Richardson asked
him to call at her house, then she
suggested an auto ride. He said
he and Mrs. Richardson had sew
eral drinks together and when they
reached Pollard's house the woman
asked him to stop the car.
Il want to see Tom a minute"
Mrs. Richardson told West, accord
ing to his statement. He added:
She went up the front steps of
the Pollard home and peeped un-
der the window shades.
She rang the door-bell and Pol
lard came to the door. He came
to the steps where Mrs. Richard
son was standing. there was a
scuffle. Mrs. Richardson said,
Tom, you must do it-come here
to me-" There was a flash of a
gun and then a report.
TAKE HER AWAY"
Il ran to the couple and Pol
lard said, You brought her here,
now take her away" Pollard then
telephoned for the police.
West said the shooting occurred
less than ten minutes from the
time Mrs. Richardson got out of
his car. The police today are
working on the theory that Mrs.
Richardson told West why she
called on Pollard. They believe
the woman went to his home for
the purpose Of getting Pollard to
say in the presence Of a witness
that he would marry her when he
obtained a divorce from his wife,
who lived a few doors from where
Mrs. Richardson was shot.

LONDON. Dec. 14.-Lloyd
Georges expose of the postwar
plot Of the French militarists to
seize the left bank Of the Rhine,
published in the United States last
Sunday, has had an immediate
effect.
Instead of being untimeiy as
branded by foes here of the former
premier, Lloyd Georges articles
forced his successor, Premier Bonar
Law. to proclaim in the House of
Commons today that there is no
sympathy and no support in the
British government for the Poin-
care program to invade the Ruhr
and hold the cities Of Essen and
Bochum as hostages until the rep
arations are paid up.
PLAN TO EvADE DEBTS.
Bonar Law, charging that the Ger.
man initiation and depreciation Of
the mark is due to the weakness of
the government. and intimating that
this is part Of the plan to evade pay
ment Of war debts. practically ad-
mitted that IL the allies insist upon
their original demands it means the
utter ruin Of Germany which is al
ready bordering on a state Of COL
lapse.
According to the ever-recurring
suggestion that Britain should wipe
out its claim on German reparations,
cancel the debts due from the allies,
and at the same time pay ''our enor-
nous debt to America" the prime
minister recounted the great finan-
cial sacrifices Great Britain made in
the war. adding:
From the point of view of JUS
tice, it is not right that we alone
make payment.
GETS LOUD CHEERS.
This statement evoked loud cheers.
Then foreshadowing support for the
granting Of a moratorium to Ger.
many, the premier said:
Germany will recover some day.
What Britain has to consider is the
best way we can get legitimate
payment while doing the least in
jury to the rest of the world and
ourselves.
The declaration which excited the
deepest interest, and which friends
Of Lloyd George are confident was
forced by the former premier's reve-
lations of the plots of the French
militarists, was an announcement
made by the premier while discussing
the projected French invasion of the
Ruhr. He declared:

osition that we cannot look at an
act with favor which would have
the effect Of not producing repara-
tons, but making it more difficult
and perhaps impossible, to get
them.
There will be no reparations
until Germany is allowed to develop
her trade. Unless it is carefully
done she would go into bankruptcy
