PARIS, March 23.-In reply to Sec
retary of State Hughes's demand for
Entente recognition of the American
claim for the cost of keeping troops on
the Rhine, the Allies in a joint note
will assure the United States that this
claim will be recognized, it was learned
here to-day After an exchange of in
formal opinions among the Allied lead
ers here-Premier Poincare of France.
Lord Curzon of Great Britain and For
eign Minister Schanzer of Italy-the
matter will be taken up through diplo-
matte channels and the Washington
government assured that the Allies are
ready to came to amicable settlement
o. the problem without any exhaustive
exchange Of notes
Study of Secretary Hughes's note has
relieved the tension existing in Paris
Official circles since the American de-
mand was trst made q fortnight ago.
France finds considerable comfort in
the readiness of the United States, ex-
pressed in the last paragraph of the
note, to settle the claim on a fair basis
and the Paris government is determined
to meet this attitude half way.
AS understood here the United States
is ready to discuss fully the treaty
rights involved and Will not insist upon
payment Of the claim until this mis-
understanding is cleared up.

the newspapers that comments editori-
ally on the judicial" aspects of the
case. 1t says these will be outlined
by the Allies in their joint note. but

to settle the matter in a spirit of
mutual friendship.

costs, being admitted as q German re-

Bitterly Fought by Lewis

Cooperation; Anthracite
Conference Is Fruitless

The center Of interest in develop
ments paving the way for the first ma
tional coal strike will turn from New
York, Washington and indianapolis to
Cleveland to-day, when the United
Mine Workers of America will face a
crisis in its strike plans only a degree
less important than that which will
confront it April /, when the strike is
scheduled to go into effect.
This crisis, representing the culmi-
nation of the bitter factional fight for
control of the union directed against
John L. Lewis, its president, by Frank
Harrington, leader of the Illinois min
ers, lies in what action will be taken
the unions general policies commit
tee on the question Of whether the
union will permit any of it's district
officers to effect separate district or
state settlements with the operators
wherever there is likelihood that this
can be done.
Make Final Plans for Strike
Officially the meeting Of the general
Of making final reparations for the
strike, including the methods by which
it will be financed, the distribution of
strike benefits and the placing of main
tenance men in the mines while the
strike is in progress.
Nevertheless, all these matters,
though important, will be forced into
the background when Lewis and Far
rington, in the Cleveland conference,
meet face to face for the first time
since the miners indianapolis conven-
tion in February, when harrington,
using the case of Alexander Howat as
an issue, projected scenes of wild dis
order into that gathering for four days
in efforts to embarrass his rival
Harrington has gone to Cleveland
manding that the committee permit
him to attempt to negotiate a separate
agreement for the Illinois miners, III
which he undoubtedly could be sue
cessful because of the favorable atti-
tude of the Illinois operators to such
a proposal. He has prepared to make
such demand, despite the fact that
the committee is strongly on record as
opposed to any separate settlements,
and he, as a member of the committee,
is reported as one Of the signers of
this record.
Lewis Against Separate Agreements
Not only Lewis and his adherents,
but many of the operators as we'll, be-
lieve that to permit the effecting of a
separate agreement in Illinois, which
is one of the chief bituminous pro-
ducing states, would greatly weaken
the strike, if not making it entirely
abortive.
Despite belief to the contrary. Far

DEEP INTEREST
IN CR|M|N0L0CY
Clippings of Murder Cases
Found Among Film Victims
Effects.

Los ANGELES. Feb. 9.-Certain
detectives interested in the Taylor
death inquiry were thrilled anew
with the finding in the directors ef-
fcets Of the newspaper clipping re-
garding the Albano case.
They point out that the film direc-
tor might have been threatened by
Just such a blackmailing plot as that
revealed in the Albano case, and
for thai reason had saved the clip
ping to study.
1t is also declared that Taylor was
a student of criminology.- and one
theory-although not much cred
ence Is placed in it's that he STUN
bled on some important bit OF Infor-
nation in the underworld. at some
time or other while pursuing his
favorite study, the knowledge Of
which later cost him his life.
The Albano case was the story OF
an Italian vendetta. Angelo Albano
local italian merchant, disappeared
mysteriously from his home October
81 last.
On December s. according to the
story told by Mrs. Esther Albano,
wife of the merchant, a man known
to her as Frank Mumfre, but whose
real name was Leone J. Manfre, went
to her home.
"Give me $500 and your jewelry."
she said he demanded. 'or I'll kill
you just as killed your husband"
Terror stricken. the woman drew
a pistol from a nearby drawer and
shot Manfre several times. He died
instantly.
Taken into court, the woman told
a long story of Italian hatred and
vengeance. of blackmail threats and
former murders. The trial is still
pending in court
The clipping in which Taylor
seemed to be interested included a
picture of Mr.. and Mrs. Albano and
one son. a family group picture. a
photo OF the house where Manfre was
killed and a scene showing a detec
tive digging in the cellar OF the
Albano home.

TAYLOR 5 VISIT
To HOTEL WITH

NEW YORK, Feb. "Details OF
the visit that William Cunningham
Deane-Tanner made with a woman
to the Hotel Childwold, Childwold,
in the Adirondacks, were told to-
day by John Gleason. At that time
he was captain of the bellboys in
the hosiery. He now Is connected
with a New York Hotel. Mrs. Tan
ner made this trip the basis Of her
suit for divorce.
Mr.. Gleason, the low-voiced hotel
clerk, said:
"a New York lawyer, think
Thoms was his name, went to Bos-
ton and Syracuse. He got the
hotel records and found that a sig
nature of "R p. Townsend, jr., and
his wife" was that of Mr.. Deane-

Syracuse, and learned about Jack"

tleman in early middle life, sort OF
blond, with a close cropped mus

With him was a well set-up blond
woman, somewhat younger than
himself. Both were beautifully
dressed.
The man registered "R. p. Town

for six days the couple renamed in
the cottage. They had their meals
served in the cottage, and, as / re-
call, seldom came to the main
house. They loafed on the porch
or took long walks toward Upper
Lake, etc.
Clothes Marked Tanner.
There was absolutely no suspicion
of them until a day or so before
their week was up, when Mr..

to the hotel tailor. The name
"Deane-Tanner" was written in an
inner pocket.
