CLASH AVERTED

ESSEN, Jan. IA clash between
French and Germans in the Ruhi
pas averted today when the French
scmmission agreed to pay cash fer
coal deliveries.
At conference with German OPP
orators, the French first threatened
arrest of mine owners and superin-
tendents and confiscation of the
coal supplies if work was not re-
sumed on Monday.
The French explained they were
willing to pay temporarily, to avoid
closure of the mines.
The German offer to continue
mining the coal if it is paid for, is
subject to approval of the national
coal commissioner, while the French
are referring to Paris for instruc-
tions.
Essen was quiet today, only few
scattered French patrols being in ev-
idenee. They co-opcrated with Ger

sheriff $ office, led by Sheriff
Charles Gillett. have. been searching
for the negro for two days, but have
not as yet captured him at late
hour this afternoon.
Feeling in Imperial is ut a high
pitch against the negro, and it will
probably be necessary to bring him
to the county jail by roundabout
route, in ease he is captured, in order
to avoid any demonstration against
against him, which the authorities
believe is quite probable.
Bostiek is well known in Imperial
and FL Centre. He is about 40
years old, and was recently married
in Imperial The police are keeping
u close watch on the Mexican border,

to cross the international line to
