 BATTLE WITH REPUBLICANS
 OVER HOUSE RULES CHANCE
DARING ROBBERS GET
 . BOOZE WORTH S60,00O
Raid Newark Warehouse, Bind Watchman and Steal
 Two Truck Loads

Newark, N. J.. gan. 14.--Eight or ten daring bandits early today broke into the warehouse of Pierce Butler and Pierce company, bound and gag ged the negro watchman and escaped with two truckloads of bonded whis- key, valued at s60,00o.
 John Brown, negro watchman at the warehouse, was only able to sound an alarm when he succeeded in kick ing over a telephone. He was tightly bound, he told the police, and had diff ficulty in getting to the telephone.
 The whiskey was stored on the fifth floor of the building. Brown claims two of the bandits went to the upper floor and loaded the cases of liquor on a freight elevator. The cases were then carried from the building on two trucks stationed on the street. Brown says two other bandits were assigned to watch him.
 From time to time the watchman is supposed to make the rounds of the building and give signals. which are recorded by a telegraph system. failure Of the watchman to give his signals would attract the thieves forced Brown to give the required signals, he told the police.
 The authorities are without an ac- curate description ofthe men. Brown furnished only meagre information, it Is said.
 The whiskey had been stored in rooms which were locked and under government seals. The robbers sawed off the locks and seals to get at the barrels.
 Federal authorities, who began checking up the loss, found a dozen barrels of the whiskey left on the freight levator and three outside the building on the loading platform, in- that the robbers had brought Town more than they could take away.

NEW ENGLAND IS AFTER LOWER RATES ON COAL
l.. \. Goss Tells Interstate Commerce Commission This District Needs
 Anthracite Substitute

Washington, Jan. l4.-New England representatives urged the interstate commerce commission today to re- quire railroads to make lower joint rates on coal from West Virginia to New England cities, in order to give New England consumers a substitute for anthracite.
 Edward A. Goss, appearing for Gov ernor Templeton, of Connecticut, said that West Virginia ceals of the low volatile type were adequate substitutes for anthracite. and with a reasonable rail rate would be taken in quantities throughout New England,
 Asked if Pennsylvania low volatile coal now available to New England would not serve the same purpose, Mr. Goss declared that New England pur- chasers had been unable to get this commodity properly prepared for do- mestic consumption. He held to this statement in the face Of persistent ross-examination by counsel for Pennsylvania bitnminous producers.
 A somewhat similar stand was taken by r. J. Dowd. speaking for the Associated Industries of Massachu- sets. Employers or sotn4 l50.eoo men have Nccoac ccn. .! rpG, Mr. L3Wd said. that fuel supply for their workers must be assured by provision of some substitute for anthracite, which in recent years, he asserted had frequently been cxorbitantly high and scarce.

Strictly Business And No Politics" His Mot to Says Germany Must Be Aided Before She Can Be Expected To Pay
American Plays European Statesmen Who Have Added to Muddle and Also Attacks U. $. Political DemagOgues.
By The Associated Press.

!
 Paris, Jan. l4.-Presided over by Brigadier General Charles c. Dawes. leading businessmen and financiers of the United States, Great Britain, France. Belgium and Italy, sitting as a board of directors and creditors. began this morning to examine the assets and liabilities of Germany, their nations debtor, with a view to saving something from the ruins of the most stupendous bankruptcy in the history Of the world.
 Strictly business and no politics" was the motto under which these rep- resentative men of the leading na- tions of the old and new worlds as- sembled.
 Common Sense" Keynote
 General Dawes himself gave "com- mon sense" as the keynote in open ing the deliberations.
 Why mince words?" said the Am- erican chairman, describing the previ- ous efforts of experts wandering in the gloomy reparation labyrinth" while every fact of today became the fiction of tomorrow. until d whole library of information that was now obsolete had been collected. He em- phasized the matter Of fact views of business men without political en- tmglements ought to result in con- crete suggestions that might quiekca the German sseonpmie wreck Into life.
 Hits European Statesmen
 Germanys productivity was the key to the restoration of European prosperity, Mir. Dawes declared.
 He was severe upon the "demago- gues," and he did not spare the al- lied statesmen whose nationalistio sentiments he declared, had obstruct- ed the worlds recovery.
 Disaster, said General Dawes, faces the allies and Europe unless common sense is crowned king"
 Louis Barthou, president of the reps aration commission, in welcoming the committee, promised French cooperu- ton in its work, for. he said. tho "pacific equilibrium of the entire world" depended upon its success.
 The committee, after adopting Chairman Dawes suggestion that 1t proceed to the study Of the stahiliza- ton of the German currency as the first item on the agenda, adjourned at 12.4o o'clock until 2 p. m.
 'Fhe success Of this committed" General Dawes said in opening the meeting, depends chiefly on whether in the public mind and conscience of the allies and Of the world there is an adequate conception of the great disaster which face each ally and Europe unless common sense is crowned king"
 Louis Barthou, president Of the rcparation commission, delivered the address of welcome to the experts
