MEET
At BERLIN ENDED
WITHOUT AGREEMENT
French May Pena1ize Germany
for Non Payment; British
Want Delay.

Paris, Aug. 25.-tBy The Associated
Pressl.-The negotiatiosn in Berlin be-
tween the reparstions mission ano
German government officials came to
an end at noon Friday without having
produced any compromise Oh the Ger
mar reparations question acceptable
to both the British and French rep
res~entatives, according to advices
reaching French official circles Friday
afternoon.
1t is now believed the reparations
commission will hold a special meeting
Monday or Tuesday at which 1T vii
try finally to dispose of the question
of granting a moratorium to Germany
If the last minute guarantees offer
ed by the Germans prove to be as
unsatisfactory as previous proposals
the British are expected to try to
postpone action by the commission in
order to delay the carrying out OF
penalties independently by France with
the hope that some way out of the
difficulty may be found.
There was much speculation as to
what form the French penalties, il
carried out, would take.
1t was suggested by some observers
that Premier Poincare may delay the
proposed penalties until the reconven-
ing of the chamber of deputies the
first week in October in order that
the government may proceed with its
program backed up by a vote of con-
fidence.
Sir John Bradbury and Eugene
Mauclere, British and French repre-
sentatives, respectively, of the repara-
tons commission, were expected to
leave Berlin Friday afternoon arriving
in Paris Saturday.
The French foreign office learned
unofficially that new proposals were
submitted to the Germans but they
were not considered important enough
to require the missions remaining in
Berlin longer. The PREPARATIONS COM
missions representatives will bring the
proposals to Paris.

DROP In GASOLINE PRICE
IS PREDICTED BY SENATE
BOARD MAKING PROBE
Slump in Crude Oil Quotations Likely to Cause
Lower Costs; Independent Producers Face
Disaster. Says Report.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Further re-
duction of the price of gasoline was
forecast Friday in a preliminary re-
port by the special senate committee
investigating the industry.
The committees prediction was
based on the recent cut in the price
of crude oil, which it was said. Night
reasonably be expected to reflect it
self in the cost to the ultimate con-
sumner of the refined product.
At the same time the committee
held that small oil producers and re-
finers were getting the worst of it
under the present organization Of the
industry because of violent price fIuc-
tuations which have followed control Of
a large percentage of stocks by the
larger companies. A continuation of
this system, the report said, must
spell disaster" to the small indie
pendent concerns which really produce
more than half the nations crude oil.
Referring to current gasoline prices,
the committee reported that an analyst
of the statements of witnesses would
make it seen reasonable to expect a
further lowering of the price of gaso-
Of crude from 81 to SIPS a barrel"
This expectation was based, said the
report, on explanations before the
committee that the recent decline of
2 cents a gallon on gasoline has re-
suited from a previous cut in the price
of crude and further that many of
the r~efiners still were using stocks of
crude bought at prices higher than the
present quotations.
The preliminary report explained
that the full significance of the price
changes in crude oil as well as III It's
products is reserved for further ron
sideration inasmuch as the committee
has not completed it's inquiry.
Discussing the plight of small in
dependent producers and ~refiners. the
committee report said that at the end
of May the Standard group held
S per cent of the country's stocks of
crude. rs per cent of the gasoline, -
per rent of the kerosene and ~ per
cent of the gas and fuel oil. OF the
amount held by the so-called indepen-
dents the report stated, ten of them
held Al per cent.
This balance was said to have been
divided among hundreds of smaller
companies.
When it is remembered that more
than half of the crude oil of the coun-
try is produced by those thousands

Naval Plane Flies
Without Controls

Washington. Aug. ga new type
of seaplane which is almost capable of
flying without a pilot, has been deliv-
cred to the navy department. The
plane, designed for the training of
student aviators, combines safety fea-
lures never before equaled In aircraft:
navy officers said, with qualities OF
speed and maneuvers on stability. 1t
recently made a successful TOO miles
flight fro mthe factory at Ogdens-
burg, N. Y.
I'm testing the plane for stability,
the pilot released the controls, taking
his hands and feet off them" said Com
mander T. G. Ellyson of the bureau of
aeronautics. who brought the craft to
Washington.
THE throttle was cut to low speed
and the plane went into a long glide.
He then speeded up the engine and
still without the controls being touched
the plane leveled off and continued in
normal flight, making about 90 knots.
Finally the engine was speeded up
with the throttle wide open. The plane
began to climb, and in so doing her
speed was cut to about 40 knots. She
fell off on one wing and dove at the
speed of 100 knots, which registered
when the plane again leveled off in
normal flight. During the entire dem
.onstration the pilot, Lieutenant Nelson,
did not touch the controls with either
his feet or his hands
The plane will be known as the Huff

Political Parties
Blamed for Neglect
of Philippine Isles

Manila, Aug. 25-(By The Associat-
ed Press.)-Manuel l.. Quezon, presi-
dent Of the Philippine senate, address
ing the Philippine agricultural Con-
gress Wednesday. blamed both the re-
publican and democratic parties for
non-investment of American capital in
the Philippines.
The republican party appears to
have taken its principal interest in the
material progress of the Philippines,
leaving the question of u political
liberties almost in a secondary place,
while the democrats have considered
the question of independence as more
important and have neglected the ma
terial development of the country" he
said.
IF the United States government
and the republican party really are in
terested," be continued. they should
give US independence INN ediately or
state frankly that we will not have
independence before 80 years have
passed.
while the promise of independence
in 80 years would not satisfy the Fill
pinos, it would aid in bringing about a
rapid improvement of economic condi-
tons"

S1,5O0,000 SW|ND[E RING
BELIEVED CAPTURED IN
DARING RAID IN DENVER
Church Serves as Temporary Jail in Order to Pre-
vent Tipping OFF" of Activities of State
Authorities; Prisoners Read Psalms Before Be-
ing Searched and Questioned by Officers.

Among those arrested in addition to
Blonger are Walter Byland. who is said
by the police to be free under bonds
following arrest in Texas on charge
of check frauds t~otaling $4,000; j. r.
Farrell. alleged to be wanted by the
Los Angeles police; Riley w. Wilson,
st. Louis; Arthur Cooper, said to be
q hotel clerk in Little Rock, Ark;
James Richard Sullivan, Santa Monica,
Cal; A. w. Duff, said to be a life
member of the Denver Motor club. and
Thomas Beach, expert golfer of Den
yer.
! The examination of the prisoners
made an extraordinary picture-a scene
unlike anything that has ever taken
place in a pastors study before. The
prisoners, sullen, defiant, or laughing,
as they stood between their armed
guards. glanced c~uriously about the
study. which was filled with tobacco
smoke, and whose walls we're covered
with tracts, bookcases and religious pic
lures.
This is the funniest Jail ever
saw. exclaimed n man. who. like
most of the others, did not realize he
had been brought to a church.
Above the desk where the prisoners
were booked hangs the first psalm,
printed in huge red and black letters.
Many of the prisoners stared long at
the Scripture passages, which begin:
BLESSED is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly nor
standeth in the way of sinners nor sit
teth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the
Lord; and in His law doth he mediate
day and night.
For the Lord knoweth the way of
the righteous; but the way of the un-
cody shall perish"
From the pastors study the pris-
oners were taken upstairs to the kin
dergarten Sunday school rooms on the
second floor. There, amid tiny red
chairs. blackboards, a sand pile and
notices lettered by the smallest of the
Sunday school children, they were sub
mitted to a searching examination By
Vancise. There. also, Roy Samson,
special investigator for the district at
torney's office, compared the prisoners
with rogues' gallery photographs from
the United States penitentiary at Leav-
enworth and other places.

Panic-stciken nations are engaged In wild "sauve qui peut."
 What follows? The only alterna- tive is the League of Nations.
 This was only a vague phantom while the supreme council operated. Even the survival of the league was doubtful. France was openly hostile to it. England was indifferent.
 But now the collapse of the councV is producing a new point of view. The meeting of the assembly of the league at Geneva this week has been watched with deepest interest.
 It is even stated that Lloyd George is willing to make an appearance before the assembly if invited. He realizes that the supreme council is to the front as the parliament of Flu rope.
 The question now is will France modify her attitude toward the league? France must be aware by now that separate pact with Eng land or America is out of the ques- tion. No party In England would dare support the proposal of a sep arate treaty with France. The United States would not think of it. Moreover. such pact Is not neces- sary to the defense of France.
 League Only Remedy
 Germany Is disarmed and impoy- erished, while France is the only great military power left in Europe. The once proposed separate treaties would not now defend France form an attack by Germany, but would es- tahlfsh the military dictatorship of France in Europe. If France still feels she needs external assurance of protection she must have 1t through the League of Nations.
 Briefly the issue before Europe today is between French militarism and the League of Nations-between anarchy and order. The vital ques- ton is, How can the authority of the
