SOVIETS TURN
DOWN FRENCH
NOTION DEBTS
British Proposal Accepted as
Basis for Further
Negotiation.
SUGGEST ARBITRATION

GENOA. April 29.-Russia will reject
the French terms for an agreement with
the allies, but will consider the British
terms acceptable as a basis for negotia-
tions.
This decision was reached hy the Rus
sian delegation in a conference which
continued until an early hour today.
The allies intend to combine and CO.
ordinate the French and British terms
in one note which will be presented to
the Russians before night. For the pur-
pose of doing this the sub committee in
charge of drafting the note met today.
The French terms provide that if no
agreement can be reached on payment of
Russias debts, the soviets shall accept
the arbitration of a mixed commission
appointed either by the Chief Justice of
the United States Supreme Court. The
Hague tribunal or the League of Ma
tions
The principal difference between the
French and British terms is that the
French demand complete payment of
war debts and return OF property seized
by the soviet from foreigners, whereas
the British are willing to compromise on
these points. When the notes are COM
bined for presentation to Russia, they
Will ask seven categorical questions as
Lhe husSla attitude so as 10 prevent
further quibbling by the soviets and will
then lay down the terms on which the
allies propose to give assistance to Rus
sia.
on leaving the meeting Of the Bolshevlsts
early this morning George Tchitcherin,
chief Of the Russian delegation, said they
had gone over both the British and
French drafts. The British draft. he said
might be acceptable as a basis for
negotiations"
When asked about he French draft
Tchitcherin grayely shook his head.

kept where they will not be in the way.
At night the set Is placed on a table
in a cheerful room, the family gathers
around, and the process of tuning in
Is started.
A concert was broadcasted by local
broadcasting station. The music comes
in a well modulated tone and sounds
much better than music as reproduced
on talking machines.
The broadcasting stations LAY off"
for about seven minutes around O'Clock.
Arlington sends the time at that hour.
Mr. Steenbergen said that all of the
members of his family usually stay at
home at night now to listen to the radio
concerts
When asked about making his set, Mr..
Steenbergen lifted a cover on a table
and produced his library" of Times ra
dio clippings. produced the one which
solved the problem and answered the
question.
The set which MFR. Steenbergen has
made is n very compact, neat appearing
one The music comes through il "as
plain as day"
The detector, which cost Just % cents,
which was spent for a crystal of galena,
has in it the following materials: one
ball from a water faucet, through whicn
runs an arm to which the "cat whisker"
is attached; strips OF brass, which came

from the binding brass on steam pipes !;
a cup. taken from the cud of a fuse, and
spring terminals taken from dry cell
batteries.
The variable condenser Is an alligator
mouth" type. A very clever method of
adjustment was discovered by Mr.. Steen-
bergen when he found that he had little
material to use lie obtained a fiber disk
and placed a rod through it off center.
BY turning the rod, the disk is rotated
and the distance between the plates Of
the condenser is varied.
The loose coupler which is used In the
set, has contact points made from paper
clips. The primary of the coupler is
wound on a salt box, cylindrical in
shape, and the secondary is wrapped on
the shell of dry cell battery.
The ground for the set is furnished by
a water pipe in the Bathroom.
Mr.. Steenbcrgcn AMI the other radio
bugs of the family. which includes them
all. are enthusiastic over the results OBJ
tanned from making the set in accordance
with the Daily Times instructions. He
plans to build . regenerative set from
the plans now running in the radio de-
partment.
He said that the cost of making a set
is negligible if one has a little mechan-
ical ability and utilizes materials which
can be found around any home.

Torpedoes.

Safecrackers blew the safe of the
Campbell Oil Company, 2O03 to 2007 Mad
lson avenue, some time last night and OBJ
tanned only SIS. Two explosions were
required to force open the doors. The
robbery was discovered this morning.
Employs OF the company said the
robbers were probably after the heavy
collections turned in by delivery men
Friday, but that this money had been
sent to the bank. Checks which were
contained in the safe were scattered over
the floor.
Police said the strong Lox was opened
by experienced yeggmen. The first ex-
plosion blew open the heavy outer door
and the second the strong inside door
LOT OF SOUP"
USED ON JOB.
The force of the explosion was such
that the combination was blown through
a two-inch pine door, ripping a hole
two feet long in the door. The combi
nation was found wedged behind a book
after it had gone through the door. The
safecrackers, before blowing the safe,
cut into the knob Of the combination,
evidently intending to pour the nitro
glycerin there but the knob broke off
and the soup was poured in the cracks
around the door.
The office of the company is a block
east of Madison avenue near the Penn
sylyania Railroad There is no residence
nearer than $50 feet and the company
does not employ a watchman.
This is the third visit of safe crackers
to the companys office in three years.
Three years ago burglars battered the
safe open and obtained money. Six
months ago a safe was battered but not
opened.
T. D. Campbell is president and gen
erai manager Of the company.
That the burglars had no fear of be
Ing interrupted was evident. They did
not take the trouble to muffle the sound
of the explosion. as is usually done.
A fuse, a short piece of gas pipe and
a pocketknife with a newly broken blade
were found near the safe. A small sledge
hammer owned by the oil company and
evidently used by the thieves was also
on the table near the safe.
d. y. Lowe, night watchman at the
Indiana Elevator Company's building
some distance south Of the Campbell OIL
Company's plant, said he heard the two
explosions in the night. but thought they
were torpedoes used by the railroad men
as signals.
