OFFICIALS HERE
OPPOSE GIVING
GERMANY LOAN
Morgan Said to Be Acting
Without Consultation With
Government.
By International News Service.

J. Pierpont Morgan's trip to
Europe to confer with European
financial interests on the question OF
a possible American loan to Germany
was arranged without consultation
with officials of this Government. 1t
was authoritatively declared today.
Mr.. Morgan will go to Europe at
the urgent request of British and
other European bankers, but officials
here were q bit skeptical that the
negotiations Will result in the max.
ing of an American loan.
The Administration, IL was said on
high authority, would look with dis,
favor upon a loan to Germany at this
time when German financial condi-
tions are so chaotic and lack promise
of improvement. The attitude OF the
State and Treasury departments, II
was said, is one Of firm opposition TO
any proposal for the release Of
American capital in the midst Of the
present German fiscal turmoil.
An American loan to Germany OF
the size which European bankers
would like to negotiate Is out of the
question unless IL were predicated
upon the most sweeping reforms In
Germany's system, a member Of the
Cabinet said today.

Congress could commit mo
greater folly" than to reduce the en-
listed strength Of the United States
army below 10000 men. Secretary
OF War Weeks declared today before
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee.
Weeks said that the allowances
made by the House, contemplating
the reduction Of enlisted personnel
to lis 900, are below safe minimum
requirements"
II am convinced" he told the
committee, that they are incon.

am confident that the prospects OF

Weeks said he was aware Of no
issue that threatens to involve the
United States in international com.
plications, but, he declared. 1--WE
must recognize that throughout the
greater part Of the world a condi.
ton of instability prevails which
renders the permanence OF world
pence very uncertain. II would be
the height of imprudence not to
recognize that from them condition,
may evolve which would gravely
affect our national security"
Virtually all wasteful expenditure
OF the American Government since
its foundation, and most OF It's bur
den OF debt, Weeks asserted, have
been due to 'unbusinesslike meth
DDS" in the conduct OF the nation 4
military establishment.
With adequate military prepared
ness the United States under strong
leadership could have prevented the
world war. Gen. John j. Pershins
told the committee.
The American army, Pershinp
said. should be in keeping with the
position Of the United States among
the nations and her responsibility ir
the world.

Miss Knox, when informed that
Eastlake will testify against her,

fident the outcome will be favor

dear children"
Dressed in the same dark broad
cloth skirt and white percale shirt

to the Richmond Jail, Miss Knox s
appearance was anything but tidy.
Long strands OF 'scofders" fell from
her coiffure. She revealed the ef.
fects of sleepless night and the
heavy lines in her forehead and face
are, IL anything, more pronounced
than ever. She looks to be a woman
OF sixty, although she has variously

V|RG|N|AFEU
Man Who Was Slain Protected
Youth in Trouble, lnvesti-
cation Reveals.
LEESBURG, Va, April 25.-l

LEESBURG, Va, April 25.-A
young woman employed at tho
home Of Mrs. Caroline Belmont,
daughter-in-law Of August Bel
mont, of New York, was the di-
rect cause Of the feud which ex.
listed between the Furr and
Hatcher families. and which re-
suited in the shooting to death
Of Irving Hatcher, forty-six-year-
old produce dealer Of Loudoun
county and Washington.
Shielded Boy in Trouble.
Investigation by Virginia authori-
ties has shown, 1t IA said. that
Hatcher was shot to death because
he shielded Charles White. nine
tsen.year-old boy. White, II 10 de-
clared, got into trouble over this girl,
and the Furr family were "out to get
him."
1t ID expected White will be one OF
the chief witnesses for the prosecu-
ton when the four members OF the
Ftirr family are brought to trial Tor
the murder of Hatchet. Another inn
portfAnt witness will be Raymond
man who was slain.
New Version Of Shooting.
The testimony Of young Hatcher,
authorities declare, indicates that
Lewis Furr. and not Milton Furr.
fired the shot which killed the
produce dealer. Young Hatcher Will
testify that Lewis Furr threatened
his fathers life several days before
the shooting by declaring:
I'm going to get your father, ana
Belmont money Is going to save me.
A new version OF the shooting in
Middleburg was obtained by q repre-
sentative of The Times. In a talk
with Charles White, White said:
"I went to Middleburg with Irving
Hatcher early Saturday night. We
stopped at Gartrell's store. / waited
on the outside and Hatcher went D..
A few minutes later Hatcher came
out and said to me: You better be
careful. They've got the guns out
tonight He said he was going to
Mitchell's store.
about ten minutes later I heard
n shot. I rushed up to Mitchell's .
store and found Hatcher dead on tho
sidewalk. looked down at him.
and Paul Craun, who was with me,
struck a match. Hardly had the
match lit when a voice about forty
feet away called out: Get away from
there or I'll shoot you IT sounded
like Lewis Furr's voice, We beat It
then and came back later after a
crowd gathered"
Conspiracy Suspected.
That same night Lewis Furr
went to the scene Of the shooting.
After a severe grilling he was re-
lea sed from custody by the suthori-
ties. Early the next morning Mil
ton Furr confessed to the shooting.
He was arrested and released on
bond. Further investigation indi-
