consider reparations, according to
exclusive United Press dispatches.
Great Britain welcomed the plan,
government circles received it warm
'ly; the press enthusiastically. 1t in
dicated Bonar Law will adopt it if
the tariff conference Of the allied
prenliers again fails.
France objected at once to Hughes
proposal. Semi-ofticial word sent
out from the Quay D'Orsay was that
it wouldn't work; that the funding
trouble with the rcparations was that
Germany wouldn't pay them; that it
was unfair to France who was most
interested in the proposals that the
commission will consider.
Germany, while welcoming the
proposal. was busy with reparations

to the allied prcmiers next Tues

Bank Deposits Show
Healthy Increa

Pierre. Aug. lS-The summary of
showing of state banks for the call
of June 80 has been completed by
the state banking department, and
the fact that bank deposits increased
in the state banks over S1,250, 900
between the June call and the May
call. indicates that this state is
coming out of the financial depres-
sion which has prevailed for some
time.
Not that this increase is great, but
it is regarded as a creditable show
ing that there was an increase for
the time between the two calls, a
season when a falling off rather
than gain in bank deposits is look
ed for
While the increase was small. as
compared with the total deposit of
$147,114,O00. the condition Is one
which has been general for several
months.
The increase in state bank de-
posits between the calls for Decem-
ber 81, 1921. and June 80, 1922,
was $12,393,000, or more than $2.-

UNCOVER RUINS
OF A CITY
FIND MADE In COLOMBIA BY U.
S. EXPEDITION.

Chicago, Aug. 1S-Ruins of city
of great size, community center
that in it's day must have compared
with London, or New York, or Chi
cago of today. has been discovered
in Colombia by an expedition from
the Field museum of Chicago. Ii is
located in a portion of Colombia
that is now uninhabited and almost
unknown to science. Once it must
have been one of the great eenters
of population, the home of immense
ly wealthy people of culture and in
telligence, but now even its name is
unknown.
Articles taken from the remains
of the great group of villages and
the carving on the stone pavements,
retaining walls, steps to the houses,
etc., indicate a high grade Of work
manship. Jewelry dug up out OF
the ruins shows TIE people possessed
great skill In the working of gold
and the setting of precious stone.
The excavating work has pro-
gressed sufficiently to show that
these people were expert road build
ers. Thousands of roads extended
from the main center all through the
mountains. These, connected UP
with broad stone paved highways, or
main arteries, leading to the group
of villages. All these roads are
paved with flat, waterworn rocks OF
uniform size. The smaller roads, OIL
bypaths, are paved with stones -four
feet wide edged with upright stones
On inclines the stones are set in as
steps. The cutting on the large
stones in the terrace of what must
have been the community center
shows exceptionally fine carving.
The expedition has rug up some
splendid examples of pottery, espec
tally one set of fine black pottery
incised or carved. Spanish invad
ers are known to have taken fabu'
lous sums from this territory. Ths
dead were adorned with gold orna
ments and costly jewels, and thu
Spaniards robbed most of the graves
Enough is left, however, TO indicate
that the extintc people must hay'
been very wealthy.
Specimens already received a
Field museum include gold bells
small, exquisite gold figures. an'
jars and other articles of shell, cor
nelian and agate So far In the ey
ploration there is nothing to indi
cate what caused the sudden disap
pearance of what. in its day, mus
have been one of the greatest cen
ters of population I'm the world.

DESTROY
40 FREIGHT CARS
BLAZE OF UNDETERMINED OR
IGIN CAUSES 500, 900 DAMAGE
TO OMAHA ROADS
EQUIPMENT.

Sioux City, Aug. 18-Approxi-
mately 40 empty freight cars of the
Omaha railroad standing idle on the
Omaha switching tracks about
mile east of the passenger depot at
South Sioux City, Neb., were de-
stroyed by fire of undetermined or
igin at noon Tuesday involving
loss estimated at between $4,000
and $50,0000.
Although several bystanders be-
lieved that the fire was of incendiary
origin because it was said to have
been seen to burst into flames simui-
taneously at several different points,
switchmen and other railroad en-
ployes working in the vicinity, who
first discovered ii about IL 10
O'Clock, declared they believed 1t to
have been started by sparks from a
passing engine. The hot dry wealth
er of the last few days had made the
cars. the majority of which were
empty bunk cars. particularly sus-
ceptible to fire from engine sparks,
it is believed. A third theory was
that the flames were started by
tramps.
The cars were standing In scat
tered groups on four separate lines
Of switching tracks. ALI were empty
and as far as known uninhabited at
the time.
A number of the cars were saved
by switching crew of the Burling
ton railroad. About an hour after
the fire first broke out work train
and crew of the Omaha railroad ap-
had gained such headway. however.
that the remaining cars practically
were abandoned to burn.
Terrific heat and dense smoke min
dered efforts to stop the confls graz
| ton, and il is believed caused con-
siderable damage to crops in fields
bordering both sides of the track
area.

Auto Accident
Causes Beating

Deadwood, Aug. 1S--As the re-
suit of an auto accident near Dead

When the car in which the six de-
PENDANTS were riding was struck near

legged to have jumped to the ground
and attacked Wurnitsch, beating
him up quite badly before he could
make his escape. All of the de-
PENDANTS are residents of Lead.

case of the kind in the history of the
Black Hills where one party to on

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 1S-Pres-

ed by the twin coal and rail strikes.
Appearing before joint session of
congress the president, after review
ing efforts of administration to
bring about peace in the coal and
transportation industries declared
he was resolved to use all the power
of the federal government to main
tain transportation and sustain the
righto men to work. The presi-
dent recommended immediate pro-
vision for temporary national coal
agency with needed capital to pur-
chase, sell and distribute coal which
Is carried in interstate shipments.
He said this agency might not be
needed but would be the instrument
tality of guarding the public inter-
ests TO where private oncerns are in
sensible to a public need. The rail-
road labor board, President Harding
said, should be given power to en-
force its decisions against both cap

for revision of the law at the pres
ent time, saying such action would
not be helpful in the present threat
