BALDWIN TO LEAVE
DOOR OPEN TOUN|TY
Statement on European Is
sues to Permit Cooperation
With France.
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated PreSS.
, LONDON, July 1o.-While there are
no indications of the precise nature of
the statement to be made in parliament
Thursday by Prime Minister Baldwin
concerning the reparations question
official spokesmen here say there will
be nothing spectacular about the gov
ernment's declaration.
| The statement. they say, will aim at
setting openly before the world the
views of Great Britain for the econom-
ic and political restoration of Europe.
| The door will be left open for full CO.
operation between Great Britain and
France.
Even should it prove necessary for
line. II is pointed out that twice al
ready has France taken individual ac-
tion regarding Germany without con-
sulting Great Britain, and this has not
resulted in any breach.
Press Gives Approval.
Satisfaction over Prime Minister
Baldwin's promise of statement is
generally manifested by the press
and numerous attempts have been
made to penetrate official secrecy so
that the public may be furnished
with a forecast OF the premier's ut
terances
1t is impossible for the moment to
add anything Of consequence to the
suggestion that England may again
bring forward her suggestion for
the appointment of an International
commission which would determine
Germany's capacity to pay. The pos
sibility of calling into service such
a commission Is discussed favorably
in several quarters and hope is ex-
pressed that America would partici-
pate. 1t is thought that Great Brit
ain. may suggest that the committee
appointed last year be requested to
serve again. J. P. Morgan was a
member Of this body.
The diplomatic correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph ventures the
opinion that the prime minister's
statement will be constructive rather
than critical and will contain a final
bid for the cooperation Of Great
Britain and her allies. In restoring
the European situation.
Germany Is Warned.
The writer also asserts that when
DR.. Sthamer, the German ambassador
interviewed Lord Curzon yesterday
the recent Incidents Of sabotage in
the Ruhr were discussed, as well as
the general question of passive re-
sistance. Lord Curzon. adds the ex-
pert, Is reported to have urged Ger
many to act moderately and prudent
ly, giving the ambassador decided
hint that the government would be
well advised to make clear its disap-
proval Of acts Of violence.
Whether Great Britain will decida
to deal with Germany separately IL
still an open question as far as the
public and the newspapers are con-
cerned, for no one in a responsible
offlcial position will talk on this
point 1t IL known, however, that
in oertain quarters there is a feeling
that England should help Germany
if the keich's condition is weak. as
the French believe 1t to be. Britain.
In the opinion of these authorities,
could hardly afford to lose German
trade. and, therefore, the utter COL
lapse of the HeIch would be disas-
trous-

James B. Henderson. a creditor of
the late George M. Oyster local dairy
man, today filed in the District Supreme
Court an objection to the carrying out
Of the agreement between the widow,
Mrs. Cecile r. Shir- Cliff Of Troy, N. Y.
and Edwin c. Brandenburg, executor Of
her former husbands estate. by

property Of the decedent is ordered
Mr.. Henderson says that at the
time of his death Mr.. Oyster owed
him $500, and until his claim with
accrued interest Is paid, he objects
to. any disposal of the assets Of the

the court to make the order while
there are unpaid claims. The debts
against the estate are said to amount
to $4,000, and up to a late hour today
the only objection had come from
Mr.. Henderson.
When he signed the order confirm
ing the agreement last month Jus
tice Siddons provided that 1t was to
become effective today If there were
no objections from the creditors. At

D. c. HEADS Study
YEARS ESTIMATES
Bureau Chiefs Figures, AL.
ready Submitted, Expected
to Total $4,000, 900.

The Commissioners went into ses-
sion at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon to
begin the tedious task that befalls
them every summer of going over
the estimates of department heads
for the next fiscal year.
Commissioner Rudolph. chairman Of
the board. said he and his colleagues
would continue to meet every day
possible until the estimates have all
been revised and ready for submission
to Director Lord of the budget bu-
reau.
Mindful of the administrators plea
for economy in government operation,
the Commissioners again this year
will scan carefully each item asked
for by their subordinates to make
sure that only essential projects are
included.
Total Near s3o0O0,0OO.
The Commissioners have not at
tempted thus far to total the amounts
requested by the various departments,
but IL is expected they will exceed $780,
O00. 900.
Mir. Rudolph said today that the
question Of whether an estfma te

days. All btg projects. he said. VIII
be considered last, after the routine
items, such as salaries and mainte-
nance appropriations, have been
passed upon.
In addition to the high-pressure
water system the Commissioners have
two other important matters to con-
slider: First, an extensive hve-year
program of improved street lighting.
and, second, whether to begin esti-
mating this year for the rebuilding
Of the Washington channel water
front.
Many Ask Change.
With a city-wide demand being
shown for the high pressure system.
1t Is more than likely that the Com
missioners will regard that project
as of more Importance than the i'm
mediate renovation of the river front.
1t is probable they will not use the
blue pencil very much on the $500, 900
worth of new trunk mains asked for
by the water department for two rea-
sons: First. because the water de-
partment is entirely self-supporting
out of water rent, and second, because
all of the mains requested are urgent
ly needed for household service as
we'll as for fire protection.
The sewer department has asked
for more than $2.000.000, and here
again the items included are of an
urgent nature. Scores of homes are
being built in new neighborhoods. for
which sewer connections must be
made to insure sanitary living.
The board of education has asked
for approximately $11,000,000, of
which a large percentage Is for new
buildings and grounds.

SECOND BANK FAILS.
AFTER PRIZE FIGHT.
Shelby State Institution
Closes Doors-Stanton De-

By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
GREAT FALLS. Mont, July To-
The First State Bank of Shelby. of
which Jim Johnson, one of the back
ers of the Dempsey Gibbons bout, is
president. closed its doors this morn
ing. according to a statement made
Skeiton, who is here to take charge
of the Stanton Trust and Savings
Bank. which went into voluntary
liquidation Monday noon.
George H. Stanton. president Of the
Stanton Trust and Savings Bank, de-
nies there Is any connection between
closing the institution and the financing
Of the Dempsey Gibbons championship
fight at Shelby, Mont, July'4. Shelton
supported the statement.
Stanton was one of the prominent
Great Falls men who assisted in rails
ing the second 100000 that was paid
Dempsey on his guarantee of 100000
to meet Gibbons for the title.
ANY money raised in Great Falls or
Shelby for the Dempsey payment was
not drawn from the resources of the
Stanton Bank or from my personal
funds" Stanton said in a statement.
Il gave such personal assistance as
/ could to the promoters to meet the
crisis on June Is (when the second
100000 was due), but my connection
with the bout should not in any way
be associated with the closing of the
Stanton Bank"
The banks financial status at this
time. Mr.. Stanton said, Is due to con-
dittons prevailing following the
world war. together with a lack of
confidence on the part of depositors
after the failure of two other banks
here. His institution, be asserted, Is
solvent, entered into liquidation vol
unfairly, and decided to close its
doors because Of inability to meet
obligations at the local clearing
house. Every depositor will receive
his money, he said.
The bank is capitalized at $3.50, 900,
and has deposits of 100000.

L.eathercovered Furniture.

Most housekeepers regard their
leather furniture as thing to be
busted only and left to its fate There
never was a greater mistake. The
leather needs constant and intelligent
care to keep it from drying out and
tearing into shreds or turning to pow
der.
All leather needs care and furniture
covering most of all.
In the first place. don't be afraid to
apply a little soap and water to 1t to
wash off the dust and dirt. Use soapy
water, a sponge and paint brush to
get into the folds of the leather and
the crevices.
The soapy water will darken the
leather a little, but it will soon dry
in and leave it the original color.
The surplus of oil may be removed
by rubbing. Rub into the grain of the
leather. This treatment four times a
year will preserve both the life and
the elasticity of your leather furniture
covering.
