In House Stolen

HAGERSTOWN, Feb. t.
The most complete thievery
on record developed here yes
terday when Lester and James
Smith, brothers, and colored
youths of Hancock, were COM
mitted to Jail charged with
stealing practically everything
from a house owned by C. H.
Locker in the town of Han
cock.
All that is left of the house
are the walls and the founda-
ton. First a stove and other
movable articles were taken
from the building. Later
several inside doors disap-
peared, and finally the outside
doors were stolen. Several
nights ago all of the window
sashes were removed.
Locker, incensed by the out
rage, with Constable Charles
Barnhart, started an investiga-
ton resulting in the arrest Of
the brothers, who were held
for thu grand jury of the Feb
7uary term of the circuit court,
which will convene here next

M'DONALD
WORRIED
BY PACT
Advises With Poincare As
Lloyd George Promises to
Publish Details.

LONDON, Feb. Premier
Ramsay Macdonald and other
members of the Labor govern
ment are fearful that the storm
over the alleged secret Wilson,
Clemenceau pact for fifteen
years French occupation Of the
Rhineland, may hamper the gov
eminent in its dealings with
Paris, according to the Evening
Standard this afternoon.
In Touch With POincare.
Premier Macdonald Immediately
got in touch with Premier Poincare,
through Lord Crewe, the British
ambassador to France. saying he
hoped to undo any damage which
may have been caused.
1t is understood that the premier
Is not yet satisfied regarding the
authenticity Of the Lloyd George
interview printed in New York in
which the former Premier was
quoted as saying that, during his
absence from Paris, Woodrow vii.
son and former Premier Clemenceau
signed the secret agreement regard
ing the Rhineland.
Criticize Lloyd George.
Members of the Macdonald cabi.
net are prone to criticize Lloyd
George for remaining silent so long
If he knew Of the existence Of
documents bearing upon the alleged
secret compact.
1t was reported that there had
been communication between Pro-
mier Macdonald and the former
premier and that the former ad.
vised Lloyd George that he did
not believe that publication of the
documents would be injurious to
Great Britain.
One Of the chief fears Of foreign
office officials is that Premier Poin.
care will get the idea that Premier
Macdonald had gone behind his
back, communicating secret docu-
ments to Lloyd George who par
TALLY published them"
Await Farley Result.
According to the Evening Stand.
ard it is Premier MacDonalds policy
not to attempt to meet Premier
Poincare in conference until after
the PREPARATIONS experts have com.
pleted their inquiry. He favors
letting diplomacy rest with the
foreign office instead Of the war
office.
"If Britain's rights are endan-
gered," added the Evening Standard,
"the premier will publish the facts
and let the people decide instead
of sending guns and airplanes.
French debts should be put in a
general pool of negotiable assets.
The government is willing to sub
nit to a general conference, but
has not yet taken any definite steps
to summon such conference"

gan Of former Premier David Lloyd
George, announced today that, due
to the widespread interest in the re-
port OF secret compact between the
late President Woodrow Wilson and
former Premier Georges Clemen.
ceau of France, regarding occupa-
ton of the Rhineland, Lloyd George
will write detailed article upon
the, subject which will be printed
one week from Saturday. This
article is expected to reveal the
text of the alleged secret compact.
The former premier Is living in
the country and has refused to
give any interviews upon the re-
ported agreement. His secretary
called at the foreign office today
and left documents which were be.
lieved to deal with the alleged

Brewers Data Held to Prove
Millions Lost Through
Duplicate" Bonds.

More than $1O,OOO,OOO worth
Of Government bonds were
destroyed in 1921, despite orders
from President Harding to stop
the destruction and lock up the
bonds In the Treasury vaults,
GcC0fding to sensational charges
made here by Charles B. Brewer,
special assistant to the Attorney
General, who has been investi-
eating alleged duplication Of
bonds in the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing.
Claims Harding Defied.
Brewers charges were made Dub
lie in connection with the SUIT he
has instituted in the District of
Columbia Supreme Court to restrain
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
and Attorney General Daughel ty
from selling certain evidence" now
In his possession.
1.-THE President was defied and
this investigation has been thwarted
ury," Brewer declared.
In view of the serious charges
which Brewer has made against
; two members of the Cabinet, a Con-
gressionals investigation is prom
4sed.
Bonds Stolen, He Charges.
Brewer alleges that many Of the
bonds which the Treasury destroyed
as duplicates" were not turned
out through error, but were made
TO take the place of stolen bonds.
Official denial was made at the
Treasury Department today that
there had been any duplication of
bonds in the Engraving Bureau. It
was stated that some duplication of
numbers had occurred, but that this
had resulted in no loss to the Gov
eminent.
The secret service was ordered to.
day by Secretary Mellon to conduct
an investigation Of the Brewer
charges.
Confer With Mellon.
After comforting with Secretary
OF the Treasury Mellon, a number
Of the ousted employees of the Blu
reau of Engraving and Printing
today called upon Senator Caraway,
author of the resolution providing
for an investigator Of the bureau
custer order.
According to the employees, Sec
rotary Mellon was somewhat in
definite in his statements regarding
their reinstatement because Of the
legal proceedings started by Charles
b. Brewer, who is responsible for
the charges Of fraud and duplica-
ton Of bonds. in the bureau.
Senator Caraway is inclined to
think that If the Administration
had been entirely frank and candid
IN it's treatment of the Brewer
charges, the present situation would
not have arisen. He probably will
call for action upon his resolution
IN the Senate in the near future.
At present he is held back because
/. of the concentration Of Senate de-
bate upon various phases Of the
Teapot Dome investigation.
Positive About Fraud.
Members of the Congressional
committee who yesterday examined
the evidence held by Charles Brewer,
Presidential agent charged with in
vestigation of the case, are unanim-
Aus in declaring that there Is indi-
Dlion of fraud beyond doubt.
More than $1,000,O00, worth of
duplicated notes constitute the evil
dence held by Brewer in safety de.

Union Trust Company, committee
members stated. They are con-
