In a decree issuing out of the District court, Judge T. M. Reed has definitely decided the status of the Daly-Alaska properties insofar as the claims
 present and future of Chas.
 Caldwell are concerned, by for ever enjoining the latter from taking further issue with Mes
 sers Knipple, Davis and Me
 Grew and the Daay-Alaska Mines Company on the same points of controversy as form ed the basis for his recent suit,
 The decree of the court is of the most sweeping character and not only confirms the own
 ership of the properties but al- so sets aside forever the points of contention raised by Cald- well.
 {. Copies Of the. decree re- |ceived during the past week disclose that on the opening of the hearing at Ketchikan, Caldwell's attorney, J. M. Shoup, sought to have the case
 dismissed, without prejudice, ard at the cost of the plaintiff.
 This procedure was object
 ed to by the defendants, Judge
 James Wickersham, attorney for Knipple. Davis and Me Grew, and Maurice D. Leehy, attorney for the Daly-Alasl5a
 Mines Company contending that a dismissal would permit a reopening of the case at some future time and therefore pre- judicial to the interests of the

DEATH ENDS DRINKING
 BOUT OF NENANA MAN

Robert Stafford, aged 50, a hostler for the Alaska railroad, was burned to death in his cab in at Nenana during the early part of January. The fatality is alleged to have been the result of an alI-night drinking party in Stafford's cabin. A coroner's jury called by Miss C.. Held, United States Commiss- toner and exofficio coroner, found that the unfortunate man came to his death asa re- suit of an accidental fire.
 The only witness, Emil John son, said that he and Stafford had been drinking in the latter's cabin. He did not ex- plain how the place caught fire but said that he had barely time enough to escape with his life after he first noticed the flames. While the cabin was being consumed by the seeth- ing blaze, the body of Stafford could be plainly seen lying across the open doorway but the heat was so intense no one could approach close enough to remove him,

Reach Agreement,

By The Assniatrd i'rras,
 London, Aug. 1.-The allied and German experts attached 10 the inter- national repamtion conference have reached fnll agreement on the Dawes program. it was announced this noon. They remained in session until three o'clock this morning to ar' rive at an understanding on repara' ton payments In kind, on which the Germans held ont until the results of Premier ilerriot's Paris mission be- came known.
 Tho French frcmiers return with his cabinets approval Of his Rnhr evacuation policy in his pocket put new hope into the negotiations, and British observers believe the confer ence will end by Thursday.
 The completion Of the experts work here and Premier Herriots success in his Paris mission iustifies the hope that ths conference will come to a close before the weekend, accord ing to foreign office spokesman.
 This morning the "big fourteen"- the allied and German delegation leaders--mct for an hour and half at No. 10 Downing street and heard NJ. Hcrriot's report of his Paris trip, They then briefly considered the one remaining problem within the scope of the conference proper-that of the allied railwaymen remaining on the German lines.
 This issue is so closely connected with that of the evacuation of the Ruhr that both seem likely to be set tied at the same time, although the Ruhr issue will be kept outside the conference.
 Names for the post of permanent agent general to carry the Dawes plan into effect arc being discussed gener- ally now in conference circles since the announcement that the French will agree to the evacuation of the Ruhr on conditions which it seems likely the Germans will accept. James A. Logan, American representative or the reparation commission Dwight w Morrow, of J. P. Morgan and com- pany and Paul D. Cravath, are three Americans mentioned frequently for the post, together with a number of dark horses, who have not been iden- tified with reparation affairs.
 Owen D. Young, of the Dawes com mittee. seems to be generally regarded in conference circls as a good man to initiate the Dawes plan, but his' an nouncement that he would only con sder taking the post temporarily makes necessary the selection of his l lrII -t an oai. .l1t Il 2 tn

 While the vessel was attempting 10 gain the sea clear of ice. hnmmock touched 1t, slightly damaging the star board forward propeller. according 10 the report Of the admiral.
 Admiral Magruder said it was doubtful if Angmagsalik could be used as a base by the scout planes which are being carried by the crni- sers Raleigh and Richmond to eS. plore the coast. A plan had been considered whereby these planes would carry fuel for the round-the- world planes over the Angmagsalik ice field.
 The Danish supply ship Gertrude Rask. which is ice bound southeast of Angmagsalik and which reported yesterday that she needed coal, ex- poets to clear the ice pack in two days, she reported today. Flight Commander Lieutenant Lowell H.. Smith has engaged trawler here to carry 300 tons of coal to the Danish ship and to refuel her at the edge oi the ice.
 Lieutenant Smith and Lieutenant Erik Nelson believe that the hope of providing base at Angmagsallk or at some point further south on the east coast of Greenland, now depends on the Gertrude Rask.
