DISCUSS
EUROPEAN DEBT

conference for the discussion of the
inter-allied debts and the German in.
den,nity to be held in Brussels has
been tentatively set for December 1.
The preliminary plans provide for a
strictly European meeting without
Americas presence.
Premier Poincare strongly favors a
meeting Of the European nations first,
for there is growing feeling on the
part Of the allied governments thht
at least one European conference on
reparations and debts will have to be
held before the cooperation Of the
United States can be expected.
Despite the anxiety over the Near
East crisis, the allied powers, espec-
tally Belgium, are beginning to give
considerable attention TO the forth
coming meeting. Exchange Of views
have already taken place between the
French and Belgian governments over
the questions to be discussed.
Premier Poincare's present plan is
to offer to reduce the German indem-
nifty to figure between 10000, ,O00,-
600 anl $4,000, ,0OO,0 900 gold marks in
return for the cancellation of the
French debt to Great Britain and the
surrendering by the latter power OF
her share in reparations, which
amounts to 20 per cent.
One of the most important factors
toward the success of the Brussels
conference is thought to be the mis-
sion to Washington Of Sir Robert
Horne, the British chancellor of the
exchequer. A satisfactory arrange
ment between the United States and
Great Britain for the consolidation of
the British debt would insure the sue.
cess of the Brussels gathering is he
view Of the. allied observers. The
outcome Of Sir Roberts Washington
visit is therefore awaited with the
keenest interest.
While the allies are said to realize
that there is no possibility Of the can
collation. Of the British debt, any def
mite agreement for funding it would
place Great Britain in a position to
seriously consider acceptance of the
French premier's proposal.
The French government has made
no announcement concerning any fur
ther debt missions to Washington, al

America, and some other official would
return to Washington this fall, with
details which the United States fund
ing commission requested. 1t is not
improbable that these details will be
withheld until after the Brussels
meeting, when France hopes to be ir
a more favorable josition to discuss
her debts to the United States.
Although America will not be dis
couraged from sending representa-.
tive to Brussels, M. Poincare and 9th.
er allied officials are believed to b.
convinced that the best way to engage
the active interest of the Unitei
States In the question Of inter-allict
debts is for the European nations tt
get together first, reduce the indemni
ty and settle their own respective wal
obligations.

GUILTY OF FIRST
DEGREE MURDER

Mineola, N. Y, Oct. 3.-William NJ.
Greasy, Kentucky mechanic, was
found guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree tonight for the shooting Of Miss
Edith M. Lavoy, Freeport, N. ",
school teacher.
The jury returned it's verdict after
less than three hours deliberation. A
motion for a new trial was made at
once, and when this was denied, coun-
sci for Greasy said that the case would
be appealed.
The court room and corridors were
crowded during the closing hours of
the trial. Women were in the major
ity.
There was no demonstration when
the verdict was announced. Greasy
appeared unmoved. He walked stead
lily to the clerks desk and answered
the usual uestions.. He. was re-
manded for sentence next Saturday.
Love letters said to have been ex-
changed between the school teacher
and Greasy, who, the testimony
showed, came to know each other
through matrimonial agency com-
prised the bulk Of evidence. They
were submitted by the state, seeking
to prove that Greasy shot the young
teacher when she refused to entertain
his suit longer; and by the. defense in
support of its contention that Miss
Lavoy shot herself when Greasy sug-
gested postponement Of their mas-
rfage. .
"Dear Billie-You said you did no.
want to write any more, so am just
saying good night"
''This letter, sent special delivery
by Miss Lavoy," said the defense at
torney in summing up, dis the answer
to the whole case. 1t was sent after
Greasy told the girl that he no longer
loved her-that he was a divorced
man"
But District Attorney Weeks in
closing for the people, introduced
other letters seeking to show that the
school teacher had ceased to care for
Greasy. One Of these was an unfin-
ished letter found on Miss Lavoy's
desk, IN which she wrote that "Billie
was an 'oil cam and that she hated
