They led him upstairs where he was
locked in closet, unable to make his
escape until 80 minutes afterward. In
the meantime the bandits had fed
with silverware and other household
valuables estimated to be worth sew
eral thousands of dollars.
After he battered down the door of
the closet Horbach ran to the Oliver

Farnam streets. where he telephoned
police.
Detectives were Immediately rushed
TO the scene where they found the
house topsy-turvy as the result of

British Officials Confident
Reply of French Premier
Will Open Way for
Agreement.

London, Aug. 1s.-Officials at the
foreign office expressed belief that
the reply of Premier Poincare to
Great Britain will open way for a
final settlement of the problems
responsible for the chaos in Europe.
They are confident that NJ Poin-
care will agree that If Germany con-
sents to abandon passive resistance
in the Ruhr. the French Immediately
will modify their occupation program,
which will be a great step forward.
II this belief is borne out by the
actual contents of the note, which is
expected here early in the week, there
is little doubt that Prime Minister
Baldwin, when he visits Paris next
week, will discuss the situation with
Poincare.
