SEEK WAY To END
DEADLOCK over
LOAN TO GERMANY

London. July 24.-(By A. PAL
though Premier Theunis of Belgium
and the American representatives at
the interallied conference are contin-
uing TO exercise to the utmost their
powers of Cancellation, the deadlock
remains unbroken between Premier
Herriot of France and the British and
by which to safeguard the proposed
loan to Germany.
Before and after the kings garden
party ut buckingham Palace today
conferences and informal conversa-
lions were carried on in an effort to
discover formula which a member
Of the French delegation said tonight
certainly would be found
Another long conference between NJ
Theunis and Thomas W. Lamont of J.
Z. Morgan &c Co. was typical of the
efforts which are being made and the
resources which are being exercised In
an effort to restore the unanimity
which characterized the earlier work
of the conference.
The bankers maintain that they are
not bringing pressure to bear in any
way on M. Herriot. They have submit
ted no formulas and they do not in
tend to submit any; they have told
the financial experts of the conference
what they consider proper security
for the German loan and they expect
formula embodying their outline to
be produced before they approve the
loan.
1t Is suggested that NJ Hcrriot
should make certain concessions for
the duration of the loan in regard to
defaults and sanctions under the Dawes
plan. Attacks would certainly await
the premier upon his return to Paris
but he could defend his course on the
ground that he acted to save France
from political isolation. to save her
from the rapid fall which is certain
II the conference fails. and above all,
to save the Dawes plan.
1t Is argued that NJ. Herriot would
do better to follow this course than to
continue the deadlock in the conference
and then ultimately to return to Paris
to announce to the chairman of depu-
ties that all of his efforts in London
had awaited France nothing.

Washington, July 24-Use Of the
new method of sending pictures by

Secretary Weeks visited the White

reprinted there within a few minutes
after the original photograph was
taken.
The suggestion was that at the
time of the presidents radio cam

be arranged to hear some campaign
orator and also hear an amplified
radio talk by the Republican presi-
dental nominee. A photograph
could be taken of Mr.. Coolidge.

the audience as it left the hall. This.
it was argued. would afford the audi
ence some of the feeling of the per-
sonal touch absent from radio ad-
dresses.
There were no Indications whether
the president was attracted to the
proposal as he spent the day busily
engaged in conferences on official
business, receiving some political
callers and in beginning actual work
on the address he will deliver here
three weeks from tonight. when he
will be formally notified of his nomi-

One OF the most important trans
actions which has taken place in wa
ter power property In the State of
Maine for long time was completed
Yesterday, when the Central Maine
Power Company signed a contract
for the purchase OF all the capital
stock of the Shawmut Manufacture
ing Company.
The property OF the Shawmut
Company includes q modern con-
crete power house containing 6OOO
horse power Of hydro-electric ma
chinery, together with the so-called
shawmut dam. situated on the Ken
pebec river at Shawmut.
Since this power house and dam
was built IL years ago the Central
Maine Power Company has bought
from it 1000 horse power ANNUALLY.
The Shawmut Company has also
sold power to the Keyes Fibre Com
pany, which owns a ground wood
pulp mill located on this property. s..
With complete control of the plaHf
the Central Maine Company Will be
able to make full use of all the pow
er available ut this dam except that
used under the contract with the
Keyes Fibre Co. With but little
outlay the capacity can be increased
10 10000 horsepower.
Dam Has Interesting History
The Shawmut dam was first built
away back in the early COS when
the village of Shawmut was original
" settled A wooden dam was built
at that time to furnish power for
the first saw mill industries OF the
town, Later larger wooden dam
was built which provided for the in
creased activities along the river at
this point. The Lawrence Newhall
and Page Company were owners or
the property and held 1t until 1904.
when 1t was sold to the Shawmut
Manufacturing Company. of which
the family of Rudolph Pagenstecher
OF New York were the principal
owners. Under the ownership OF
this company the dam was replaced
In 1913 by larger and more mod
