EARLY LAST EVENING.
Had Been In Ill-Health For
Some Time Past
LAST CASE TRIED HERE
He Made Brilliant Plea For De-
PENDANT In Nenno-De
Coster Action

John Moonan, prominent attor-
ney, and well known in the north :
west as one of the most brilliant
pleaders before court and jury, died
suddenly, last evening at six o'clock
at his home in Waseca. 3
1t was with shock that the
many friends of Mr.. Moonan re-
ceived the news of his death. Mr..
Moonan was one of the attorneys In
the Nenno DeCoster breach of pro-
mise case in Mankato, where he put
up a most vigorous argument In
favor of the defendant in the ac-
ton. Yesterday he was about his
law office all day doing, his ordinary
labors, but complained several times
of not feeling well. Toward the lat
ter part of the afternoon he seem
ed to grow worse, and when he was
about 10 go home for the evening a
taxi was called Mr.. Moonan walked
out to the sidewalk and got into the
vericle and was driven home. Mean :
time physician had been called,
while sitting in chair and talk
ing with the doctor, he was sud
denly stricken with apoplexy and
fell over dead. This was shortly
after six o'clock. Mr.. Moonan had
not been in the best OF health
for the past two years. Some time
ago while trying case at Faribault
he was seized with a fainting spell
but rallied from that attack and
had peen conducting his law bust
ness in the usual way.
Mr.. Moonan was well known in
Mankato where he had made many
lasting friends. He was we'll versed
in law, and was generally success
full in handling cases.

Hon. John Moonan, one of the ma
tive sons of Waseca county, was born
in that county February =, 1856, and
was the son of Patrick and Mary
Ann Delaney Moonan. His father a
native of the County Louth, Ireland
was born in 1921 and as a young
man emigrated to the United States
and settled in Rock county, Wis.
where for some years he engaged
in agricultural pursuits. In 1S5:

FRENCH DELEGATES GET
LEAVE TO RETURN
At Any Time When They Think They
Can No Longer Do Useful
Work at The Hague.

Paris, July 10 tBy the Associated
Press The French experts at The
Hague are at complete liberty TO re-
turn to Paris at any time they are
convinced they are no longer able TO
do useful work there, it was announced
at the foreign office to-day, out they
have not informed the government that
they had given up hope Of cooper
ative work with the commission deal
ing with the Russian problem.
This statement apparently was
drawn out bX declaration in this morn
ing's Paris newspapers that the with
drawal of the French representatives
from The Hague conference to-day was
probable, owing to the attitude of the
Russians, and that instructions sent
to the French delegates yesterday by
Premier Poincare supported this asser-
ton.

GERMANY SEEKS
MORATORIUM
With Proposal To Pay the
Balance of This Years
Instalments
WANTS TWO YEARS
DELAY AFTER THAT
There Is a Hint That
France Wants u. S. to
Cut Allies Debt

Paris, July 10. (By the Associated
Pressl-A proposal providing for the
payment Of all the remaining cash in
stalments due this year, providing Ger
many is granted moratorium of at
least two years, was brought TO Paris
to-day by German representatives ac-
cording to unofficial information which
reached the reparations commission.
German representatives were DR..
Fischer, chairman of the war debts
commission, and Herr Schroeder
under secretary of the ministry OF
finance, who reached Paris during the
forenoon for conferences with the re-
parations commission over Germany's
financial position. Up to the early aft
ernoon they had not officially pre-
sented the reported moratorium plan
10 the commission.
After visit to President Du Bois of
the reparations commission, this after
noon. Herr Schroeder expected 70 call
upon each member of the commission
separately, outline the details Of the
plan and set forth reasons why Ger
many regards long moratorium abb
solutely necessary.
1t is not expected the proposals will
be laid before a full meeting of the
commission until Friday.
The members of the commission
they have indicated, feel that the i'm
mediate reason for the present finan-
cial situation in Germany is the failure
OF Germany TO put an end to the whole
sale printing Of paper marks and the
widespread expectation OF capital
from the country.
In reparation circles. however. the
opinion seems daily TO he gaining
ground that the fundamental reason
for the German financial chaos lies in
the total reparations required, l32..
000,000,000 gold marks. which is re-
garded in many quarters as impossi-
bly, high.
II is further being made clear that
no adjustment Of the total indemnity
TO what would be regarded as a rea.
sonable figure can be made with the
consent Of France until there is
definite settlement Of the whole ques.
tion of the interallied debts which
would either result in cancellation or
very indefinite postponement of pay
ments 1t is explained in French quar-
ters that France cannot possiblyI pay
her debt to the United States under
the present conditions.
France. il is declared. would probab- |
ly agree to material reduction Of The |
German indemnity II there should be
such readjustment of the inter.allied !
obligatiog and the opinion was ex
pressed that sooner or later this idea 4
must be laid before the American gov
ernment. Roland w. Boyden. the
American representative with the re-
parations commission. will return 10
the United States on the liner France
next Saturday. unless he is instructed /
to remain during the present. crisis
and will go to Washington TO explain
the whole situation to Secretary of
State Hughes.
