II hive just opened your New

wears no moustache now, and has
aged slightly.

that appears in your paper today.
II certainly shall be very glad If
you publish this letter and give me
a chance to say to the people of

people are trying to make him.
He is the great neI lew of three

Wyndham Robertson, governor OF
Virginia, and Fulwer Skipwith,
governor Of the Florida Parishes.
Coming from one of Virginia s

inheritors Of the Randolph estate,
of which a settlement was made in
Virginia about twenty years ago.
Having met at a reception in New

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--Armed Fed

in Brooklyn today are guarding the
grave of James Jones, American
seaman, whose coffin is reported to
conceal $4,OOO,0OO Of the Russian
crown jewels.
Secret Service agents of the
Treasury Department are working
on the rumored tracing of the Jewels
to the grave, William B. Williams,
head OF the New York office, ad.
rnitted today. He refused to state
whether the department places ere.

The placing Of the jewels in

Ready to Start Upon
British Debt Refunding;
Conference With Geddes

Abrupt ending of the allied repara.
tons conference at Paris will not de-
lay negotiations for the funding of
the British $4,000, 600, 900 debt to the
United States, it was officially de-
clared at the Treasury Department
today. The American debt commits
sion has arranged to begin its discus.
sion with Great Britain's representa-
tives early next week.
Members of the commission, after
further consultation, expects to con-
fer informally with members of the
British mission and upon a time for
starting negotiations.
Montague c. Norman, governor of
the Bank of England, and Stanley
Baldwin, chancellor Of the exchequer,
today conferred with British Ambas-
sador Geddes preliminary to the sub.
mission of Great Britain's proposal
to the American commission for
funding the debt. Norman suggested
| that his government would enter the
conference prepared to fulfill it's
former pledges for paymtAIt in full
| of the debt, but he indicated that
breaking up of the Paris conference
may affect decision on the question
| OF the method of funding the British
obligations.
Both Norman and Baldwin, in
formally discussing the debt, sug-
gested that the negotiations would be
simplified II Congress had given the
American debt funding commission
authority to convert the obligationss
into maturities of forty years instead
of twenty-five years.

Means Showdown Now.
The European crisis caused by the
breakup Of the Paris conference
cid the undivided attention Of Presi-
dent Harding and his Cabinet today
when they met in regular session.
The President presided over the ses-
sion fresh from two days Of almost
continuous conference with Col.
George Harvey, American ambassa-
dor to Great Britain.
That the collapse OF the Franco
British entente at Paris is full of
menace and has brought European
troubles to showdown was candid
ly admitted by Administration
spokesman.
There are still ten days before
France is scheduled to begin the
advance into the Ruhr. In these
ten days It will be determined
whether the United States win come
forward with any proposals designed
to avert the "serieIls consequences

There were no outward evidences
today that the Administration had
determined upon any line Of pro-
cedure-either toward calling a gen.
eral economic conference. or pur.
suing further the suggestion Of Sec
rotary Hughes that the reparations
controversy be settled by q CON-
mission OF experts.
Administration forces in the Sen
ate were clearly divided on the
subject Of foreign policy today, as
revealed when the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee met behind
closed doors to consider the Rob-
inson resolution requesting PreHi-
dent Harding to appoint . member
of the reparations commission. The
''irreconciAbles" are strongly for
allowing Europe to "stew in its
own juice" while the Democrats
and a scattering Of Republicans
are in favor of some immediate ac-
ton toward American aid.
