Washington, Jan. 10.-Grcat Brit
aims financial mission laid its cards
on the table today before the Ameri-
can debt commission at an executive
session at the treasury. Details were
withheld, but there were renewed ex-
pressions Of hope that out Of the ne
gotiations would come at least a ten
tative agreement for the refunding
of the British debt of more than four
billions Of dollars, perhaps within a
week
While the official spokesman for
the negotiators reiterated that there
had been no concrete proposals as a
basis of settlement, it was apparent
that the American commission had
before it information upon which to
base the conclusion that the London
government could not consent to
terms within the limitations laid
down by Congress as to the time of
payment and the rate of interest to
be charged.
Before the commissions assembled
for their second formal session.
Senator Smoot, Republican. Utah, a
member of the American delegation,
informed the Senate finance commit
tee at an executive session that Con-
gress would be asked to broaden the
powers of the American commission
in dealing not only with the British
debt, but with those of other Allied
countries. a
Senator Smoot did not suggest just
what additional authority would be
asked and it was said later that the
commission itself had not yet deter
mined that question.
Meantime the American and
British commissions will undertake
to reach an agreement, irrespective of
the limitations in the existing stat
ute. Should they be successful. and
President Harding approves the plan
of settlement, the next step would
he to request ratification by the
House and Senate. 1t would then
be expected that a move would be
made to amend the law so that the
commission might follow the same
course in dealing with the other
debtor countries.
At today's session Of the debt COM
missions, the British delegation
presented mass of data and Stats
tics to support the opening state
ment of Stanley Baldwin. British
chancellor of the eXechequer, as to
conditions which Great Britain
faces in arranging to meet its war
time obligations. There was inclu-
cd copies of the British budget for
this and other years. details as to
assets and liabilities and many 9TH
er matters essential to an assess
ment of the whole situation.
The official spokesman said this
information was discussed inform
ally for nearly two hours and that
it would receive further considera-
ton at third session tomorrow.
After the British delegation retired.
the Americans remained in session
for an hour but members said there
was no announcement to be made.

DISMISS DICKERMAN J.
ALIENATION Suit
LACK OF EVIDENCE

Portland. Me-, Jan. 1O.-An alien
alton of affections suit brought in
Supreme Judicial Court two years
ago by Mrs. Eugene l.. Dickerman,
of Boston, seeking 100000. from
her mother-in-law, Mrs. Minnie l..
Dickerman, wealthy Somerville resi-
dent. was dismissed today for lack Of
prosecution.
Mrs. Dickerman, the 4S-yearold
plaintiff, accused her mother-inlaw
of stealing the affections of her ~
year-old husband, Robert Dicker-
man, of Boston, attorney, and Har-
ward graduate. Suit was entered in
Superior Court in Cambridge after
filing of the action here, and it went
to trial.
A Cambridge jury returned a YER
dict for the plaintiff for 900.
which was said to be the largest
ever given in that statae for aliena-
ton of affections. Judge Stanley b.
Quay, of the Cambridge Superior
Court, presiding justice at the trial
of more than two weeks in FEBRUARY
of 1922, set aside the verdict.
Mrs. Eugene Dickerman, the
plaintiff. made q motion for a new
trial, which was granted. But the
second trial has never taken place in
Massachusetts. and attorneys here,
considering the dismissal of the
Maine action, believe that the case
has been finally dropped.
Attorneys here believe the $780,
600 suit entered in Cumberland
County more than two years ago.
and made returnable in October.
1920. was brought for the purpose of
permitting an attachment to be
placed on property which the de-
PENDANT owned at Littlejohn's Island,
Casco Bay.

Decides Not To Appeal Case To Su-

MEMPHIS. Tenn, May 2s.-G. V. Sanders, editor of the Memphis Press, today paid a fine of $500 in federal court on conviction of contempt growing out of an editorial published last September in which he denounced the Daugherty injunction during the shormen's strike.
 Sanders announced that he would not appeal the case, upon advice of local counsel and also general coun- sel of the Scripps- Howard news papers. who assisted in his defense
 In explanation Sanders said:
 "The outcome of the case is dis appointing in that no way is left open to test the constitutional ques tion of free press. Judge Ross did not touch upon an editors right to criticize the courts, but merely took exception to the wording of the edi- torial.
 His finding of fact, which would hardly be disturbed by the higher court, would leave very little chance for a reversal. and. if reversal were obtained. it would not be a vlndica ton. but merely a different construc- tion of the facts.

OIL USED TO PREV ENT N.; MALARIA, RIDDEN SAYS

Tt has been our annual custo,S and still is.'' said Ben F.

We do this for prevention of malaria, and it is necessary to put oil in the springs to keep the incautious from using them. There is running water at all the company houses coming through pipes and plenty of it.. Put ting oil in these springs simply ob- viates their becoming a danger to our camp life.'
 Mr. Roden made this statement when told of telegram from Wash ington in which J. K. kenna mer; president of the Alabama division of mine workers, in paper filed be- fore the federal coal commission charged that the company springs were so oiled, and MT. kennamer IS further quoted as having declared that this forced miners to go a great distance to get water. MT. kenna- mer's statement referred to the late mine strike and the period when the mining companies were trying 10 evict the striking miners from com pany property. Mir Kcnnamer said; Men Will back the statements made by me apOuL putllnS oli III 'HN Failing to get this water, they had to fetch spring water from more distant points off the company prop erty." MT.
