OOU6luucU EUAu 0SC OkGs mally accepts the Dawes plan, ana by it, the reparation commission releases all German assets so that they will be available as security for the pro posed loan to Germany.
 One of the other two protocols is between the allies and the German government, while the third contains an agreement among the allied nations. The effectiveness of the protocol signed today is conditional upon signing of these two protocols, conclusion which depends upon the success of Premier Herriot's important mission in Paris, where he will meet the French cabinet tonight in hurriedly summoned ses- sion,
 James A. Logan, Jr., sat as unof- ficial American representative with the reparation commission this afternoon. and after the signing, he described the protocol as a business-like arrange ment between the reparation comnis- sion and the German govrenment. Its completion without difficulties, he said, was due largely to the skilled handling of the situation by al. Barthou, presi- dent of the commission.
 Despite the shifting of conference in- terest to Paris, the experts continue their labors in DowinS street. With the German experts they completed their study of the report on restora- tion of fiscal and economic unity in Germany and tomorrow will draft the covering letter with which, the report will be handed to the 'big fourteen"

LYNCHHNG FACED
 BY NEGRO SLAYER
Continued From Page One ]

OOHSAuuOU EEVm 1T ASS OuC.J pany. Their, plans were frustrated only by strenuous effort on the part of Fl. J. Santmyer, assistant superin- tendent of the mine.
 Recalling to the possemen that the negro who remained in the car was in nocent of any wrong-doing, that he was not the man who had committed the at- tack and that he had in no way aided his companion's escape, Santmyer pleaded with the men to avoid violence, it was said. He guarded the negro care fully during his talk to the crowd, and by continued appeals to reason, per suaded the ,would-be lynchers at least await the finding the the guilty negro.
 Bulger Battle the negro who had run away late in the night when his ma chine was stopped by the posse, appear ed early Saturday morning at Sant- myers home and surrendered himself. He was turned over to deputy sheriffs shortly aftrward, to whom he explained his reasons for running.
 Charges of criminal assault. assault with intent to murder, murder and of being an escaped convics are facing Milton.
 Hardly able to talk because of physi- cal weakness and suffering from her severe wounds, Mrs. Collins Saturday recounted to Coroner J. D. Russum the story of the attack. Her statements agreed in all details with the account given deputies Friday night by J. c. Curl, a farmer living in the vicinity, who witnessed the attack.
 Milton had been to her home earlier in the afternoon, she said, to borrow a water pail. At the time of the attack he saw her, with her four children, in a narrow road which traverses a field near their home, she said.
 He told me to step over in the field" she is reported to have said, land I refused. He threatened to kill me if I didn't do it, but I still told him I wouldn't. He raised his ax and started to strike me. The children screamed and he chased them.
 "At this screamed and he came back and struck me with an ax. I threw up my arm and he hit it, and again he struck me, this time on the side. He didn't hit the baby in my arms, but grabbed it by the leg and attempted to pull it from me"
 The crime is declared to be one of the most brutal in the annals of lief ferson. county. Apparently it had no -motive other than anger at her refusal tc comply with the negro's plans.

IMPROVEMENTS
 MADE AT MARION FOR COMING YEAR
Captain Robert E. Morris Will Assist Coach
 Creel

MARION, Ala, Aug. 9.-(Special.) ] In order that the cadet corps during the coming session may have the Scon- veniences of modern equipment, Col VI. L. Murfee, president of Marion insti- ute, has ordered extensive improve ments on South building. According to plans, this improvement will include a complete reconstruction of walls and ceilings, with new baths, re-wiring and other renovation nece -sary to make the conditions the equal of other military preparatory schools. Announcement was made Saturday that the president expected the work to be completed on the North building at the same time work was finished on the South build- ing.
 The largest year in the history of the institute is being planned by the fac ulty and the president, according to the announcement. It is believed by the faculty that added improvements will not only be an aid to the personal comfort of the cadets, but also will be a direct stimulation to the students for a high standing in grades and ath- letics.
 The modern improvements will not efface the historic appearance of the buildings, and past graduates will still enjoy visits to the campus, according to President Murfee, who has announced his intention of retaining all the tra- ditions possible.
 The faculty will be the same this year as last. Coach Creel will be as- sisted by Capt Robert E. Morri, who has made brilliant record on the foot ball team of Gonzago university, it was stated

New Yorker Plunges To Death
 As Friends Watch

NEW YORK, Aug. 9-old Charlie Hubka. known to everybody on his block, had been sick for a long time and the heat only made him feel worse. The neighbOrs hustling off to the sub way on their way to work, chanced to look up at the top of the tall, flat building in which Charlie lived, and saw him sitting on the cornice with his feet dangling over the side. They yelled to him to get back; not to jump. Charlie paid no attention to them.
 A policeman came along, saw Char lie and hurried up the stars to the skylight where he let himself out on the roof.
 Old Charlie. muttering about the ter rible heat, turned and watched the po- hceman's stealthy approach. The officer got within 20 feet of Charlie. Still no move He edged foot closer, speaking soothingly. Charlie sat still. Another foot Another. The policeman was now ready for a dash to grab the old man back. He poised he sprang at Charlie. Old Charlie was just frac- ton of a second quicker With little shove of his hands he tossed himself off the cornice and crashed to the side walk among the neighbors, dead.

EVANGELTCAL BODY
 OPPOSES ALL WARS
League Also Goes On Record
 For Equality Among Races

CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 9.-An em- phatic stand against all wars protest against the defense day concentration plans and the forming of equality among all races, was the attitude as- sumed today by the Young Peoples Evangelical league meeting in quad rennial conference here which un- animously adopted a resolution embody- ing these principles.
 The resolution relating to the race question reads:
 "The convention takes the stand that the race question is not receiving the proper treatment at this time. We be- lieve that the best way to get rid of the race problem, is to consider all races as being equal and that we assume a Christian attitude of love and generosity to all races and peoples" J
 After adopting the resolution against future wars, the conference extolled the peace movement and memoralized the Evangelical synod of North America which will hold it's next conference in St. Louis, to take a decided stand against war of any kind.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-New York loathes squealer.
 Charlie Becker, the police lieutenant, went to the electric chair rather than squeal and there are other men in the cell blocks of the old gray castle on the Hudson who could have gone free ten years ago if they had been willing to squeal.
 The code of the gang says that only rats and pigs squeal and, although not all New Workers are gangsters, that much of the gangsters' code could be written into the city charter-don't be a rat or pig.
 Now William J. Fallon was a young criminal lawyer He made a great record as assistant prosector in West. chester county, the site of so many mo- torious crimes, and when his term in office ended, became a defender. His processes were reversed All the inge- nuity, all the resourcefulness which he had formerly used against doers of evil were now exerted in the opposite direction. ..- Was Successful.
 Bill Fallon was just as successful on the defensive as he had been on the prosecutors side of the table. He be- gan to make the friendly acquaintance of criminals, and he also became rather famous on Broadway as a fellow who couldn't lose. All the big con men, bond-thieves, stock-swindlers and tub hands, as they call the cardshapes who work the ocean liners, came to Fallon when they got into trouble and Fallon got them off. He was making pro- gress and money. He had a good wife and a family, and it seemed that noth- ing short of the flu or other inad- vertence could stop him. The kid was as handsome as Joe Stanley, who was matinee idol of those days; he had talent, and he was on his way to the top.
 Along about 1920. Nick Arnstein, q tall, good-natured thief with a record extending from Pentonville prison, Eng Ian d to Ossining- On-H Hudson. New York, implicated himself in the $5.- 100000 bond robbery down in Wall street, and howled for Bill Fallon to get him off. Fallon came drumming He met Nicky's wife, Fannie Brice, who was then in the ,Follies, and Fannie nat urally introduced him to her circle of friends, which includes some very beautiful and clever girls in the show and out of it.
 Got Cabaret Eyes.
 Fallon began to play around the cab arets in the cellars and hay-lofts just off Broadway at night and had trou- hIe with his wife. You would see him in the old little club beneath the stage of the Forty-fourth street theatre, at three in the morning, lifting a heavy glass and toasting some yellow haired queen or tossing off some smart crack about the dignity of the law. Fallon was riding On wave, and us the vis- ion was always rather swimmy in the little club at three in the morning, mo- body could see the rocks ahead where the wave was to break.
 The bucket shop crusade began about three years ago: Fallon was on the crest of his wave at that time and it was quite natural that Fuller and McGee, two of the meanest thieves in the bucket shop business, should howl for Bill to get them off when the slaves of their bucket collapsed. .s.. e.
