Five men were with him, to help him
carry in ropes, heavy pulleys, weights
and a large metal shaft bucket, then
to move out the smaller of the pumps
and trunde away with them, leaving
the larger one and the larger engine
for a single load. At last Harry turned
to his paraphernalia and rolled up his
sleeves.
"Eres where we work. he an
nounced. Its us for pulley and
bucket arrangement until we can get
the 'oist to working and the skip to
running. 'Elp me 'eave few timbers."
It was the beginning Of a three
days Job, the building of heavy stag
ing over the top of the shaft, the affix-
ing of the great pulley and then the
attachment Of the bucket at one end,
and the skip, loaded with pig iron, on
the other. Altogether, it formed q
sort Of crude, counterbalanced ele-
vator, by which they might lower
themselves into the shaft, with various
bnmpings and delays-but which
worked successfully. nevertheless. To-
gether they piled into the big. iron

pulling away at the cable which held
the weights, they furnished the neces-
sary grdvity to travel downward.
An eerie journey, faced on one side

Travelled along the rusty old track on
its watersoaked ties, on the other by
the still dripping timbers of the aged
shaft and its broken, rotting ladder,

skip squeaked and protested! Down

fend off from 1t and start on again.

beyond. Harry started forward step,

During the social session of lodge

frayed by levying fines on the various
members for real or fancied infrac.

The forfeits were collected by the
sergeant-at-arms.
In one instance, however, the SER

fine, and the chairman directed his
attention to the oversight.

Rapping for order, the chairman ex-

LONDON F|NANC|ERS
TO MEET GERMANS
Guarantee to Be Considered in
Crisis Over Payment to
Belgium.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, September 16.-The German
reparations crisis shifted to London
today on the receipt of news from
Berlin that Bank of England oficials
would confer with President Rudolph
Havenstein, president of the reichs-
bank. Some plan for the partial
guarantee Of German treasury notes,
the payment of which Is now due Bel
gium, will be proposed.
Sir John Bradbury. the British
member Of the reparations commits
sion Is going to London tonight and
may participate in the meeting. Herr
Havenstein is expected in London to-
day.
One suggestion which is under con-
sideration by the Bank Of England,
according to reports from German
sources,-is that the latter bank accept
the German notes dated eighteen
months from date. Belgium, under
this proposal, would be guar Led
payment at the end OF six months.
and this would meet the French in
ii istence on the strict observance of
the terms of the compromise.
Omcially, Germany has until mid
night tonight to deposit the gold, but
since her refusal Is already known
officially, 1t Is unlikely that there
will be any last minute change. Bel
Rium will await the result Of Haven
stein's conferences In London before
laying the question before the repa-
raticns commiuton.

DISTRICT SCHOOL
BILL APPROVED
House Subcommittee to Re-
port Compulsory
Measure.

Approval was given today by
subcommittee of the House commit
tee on District of Columbia affairs
to the compulsory school attendance
law for children in the District of
Columbia. The subcommittee will re-
port the bill tomorrow at 1890 O'Clock
to the full District committee, and it
is the plan of Chairman Focht to have
the measure considered then and re-
ported to the House. with a view to
getting passage early next week.
TIL bill already has passed the SEN
ate, but the subcommittee has writ
ten in certain amendments which will
necessitate a conference IL the House
acts on the measure. The amendments
are principally changes in phrase
|ology, although one gives the court
here authority to suspend sentence
and place on probation any one con-
victed for violations Of the proposed
law.
DR.. Ballou. superintendent of the
District public schools, and Judge
Katherine Sellers of the Juvenile
Court were called into conference and
went over the bill with the subcom-
sentative Millspaugh of Missouri,
chairman, and Representatives Zihl-
man of Maryland and Blanton of
Texas. The principal point of objec-
ton to the bill on the part of the
members of the subcommittee was
that clause giving the officers and in
spectors charged with the duty of
enforcing the law the right to enter
homes and business places in the
course of their Investigations. DR..
Ballou explained to the committee
that this particular clause does not
give any more authority than is given
the inspectors under the present child
labor law.
=, Denies Invasion Of Homes.
He assured the committee that
there was no intent to include a pro-
vision giving any one any authority
to enter a private home without a
search warrant. He pointed out that
the inspectors merely went to the
doors of homes and sought entry on
ringing the bell or knocking at the
door.
The subcommittee put in an amend
ment, restricting the number of em-
ployes under the act to twenty-one,

On numerous occasions he has gone
over certain details of the plan with
individual members of his cabinet who
had made known their objection to
certain features calling for drastic

man Brown the President today
strongly intimated that the objections
which arose at first are gradually dis
