DILLoN'S RISE RAPID.
Man Who Put Over S15O,OOO, 900
Deal Unknown 10 Years Ago.
BY Consolidate Press.

By Consolida ted Press.
NEW YORK, April 2-The romance
OF American business has brought
into prominence another financial
genius whose rise has been rapid and
whose purchase of Dodge Brothers,
Inc, over the head of the house of
Morgan has attracted nation-w wide at
tention. This man is Clarence Dillon
of Dillon, Read & Co, New York
bankers. At 43 Mr.. Dillon has set a
mark scarcely equaled in finance in
the past few decades and which over
night has placed him in the front
rank of big business.
The purchase of the Dodge Brothers
company for something like SI5O.OOO,-
600 constituted the largest deal in the
automobile industry since the forma-
tion of the General Motors Corpora
tion.
Won After Hard Fight.
In spite of the impression given
that the fight for the control of the
Dodge company was carried on be-
tween Dillon, Read e. Co. and the
Morgan firm on the most friendly
basis, it is understood that the strug-
gle has been keen one.
Mr.. Dillon, who went aggTessively
into the fight, was hardly known in
Wall Street a decade ago. He was
born in Texas and in 1905 was gradu-
ated from Harvard University He
associated himself with the old firm
Of William A. Read & Co. in 1913 and
three years later became it's active
head. In 1921 1t was announced that
the name of the firm had been
changed to Dillon, Read & Co.
Mr.. Dillon has put over other large
deals involving industrial and rail
road enterprises in the United States
and Canada, but the Dodge purchas Sc
is his greatest accomplishment
Much of the credit for the Dodge
deal goes also to A. C. Schwartz
whose friendship with the Dodge
families is said to have opened the
way for Dillon Reads participation
in the transaction. Mr.. Schwartz and
his brother, Morton L. Schwartz, are
both well known in the sporting
world Charlie" Schwartz, as the
former is Familiarity known, came tc
New York from Louisville. KY, about
Is years ago and engaged in the in.
vestment business.
Big Merger Predicted
In their statement regarding III.
purchase of Dodge Brothers, Dillon
Read & Co. stated that "consolida tior
OF Dodge Brothers with any company
or companies is not in contemplation
and current rumors 10 that effect ar,
without foundation" This, however
has not set at rest the rumors tha
eventually other companies in the au
tomobile industry would be absorbed

Motor president denied that neRotia

tion OF his company with the bod ge

in effect in March, 1928, which ranged
from SO cents an hour for the first
year TO 56 cents after three years.
The question of wages for the
Washington Railway and Electric Co.
was not involved in these proceed
ings That company, however, is
maintaining at the present time the
same wage scale in effect on the Cap
ital Traction system.
Public hearings were held by the
arbitrators. at which both the COM
pany and the men submitted testi-
mony in support of their respective
claims. Following the hearings, the
arbitrators held executive sessions at
which today's agreement was reached.
The present agreement between the
Capital Traction Co. and its men does
not expire until next March, but un-
der it's terms the men exercised the
privilege Of opening the wage ques-
tion this year.

WORLDS DOOM IS
 \ NOT SEALED YET
Despite Predictions, Millennium Did Not Arrive Last Night

For the second time this year certain groups of people havo been disappointed The end of tho world has not yet arrived. The millennium which looms in the immediate fu- ture or almost the present for cer- tain cults every once in awhile, seems to most people still to be away of In that boundless future beyond which even the imagination Of man cannot travel.
 Yesterday, February e, 1925, was the dato set for the end of the world. True other dates have been set from time to time by certain groups, but yesterday was sure tc be the end, according to the latest announcement, for all humanity This terrestiai sphere was scheduled to feel the call of divine power and simply cease to exist.
 Just whether Gabriel was sup- posed to stand in the infinite uni verse and toot his trumpet was not stated, but 1t was announced that a fiery chariot would stop on hill top on Long Island at Il o'clock at night and pick up Robert Reidt, self styled Apostle of Doom.' The chariot, it was said. would trans- port him and his family to Holly wood, California, where they would join Mrs. Margaret Rowan, pro- phetess or high priestess of the "Re- formed Seventh Day Adventists,' and her chief disciple, Dr. r. F. Fulmcr of Los Angeles, after which the world catastrophe would occur starting at that point. Reidt recent ly disposed of his personal prop erty, but reserved the right to re- purchase if plans miscarried.
 M<e. Rowan and her friends num- Der about 1000 in the United States. She claimed that it was re- vealed to her in vision that the end of the world was to start last night in a, deluge of fire, disease, haistones and pestihnce, lasting seven days. She and her followers have been denounced by the orlgi- nal Seven Day Advent church as arch deceivers."

5O,OOO SLAVES
 IN. METAL, INDIA
British Public Startled by ReVe-
 latiOn of Conditions

London, Feb. 7.-There are 6l,419 slaves and 15,719 slaye-owners in Nepal. Publication of these figures today came as Q startling surprise to the majority of the British public, who have been generally unaware of the existence of slavery in this In- dian state which, although independ- ent, Is under the aegis of the British empire.
 TheMaharajah Sir Chandra Shum- shere Jung, prime minister and de factor ruler of Nepal. who also holds the rank of general in the British army, has undertaken to suppress the evil. In speech at the capital, Katmandu, in December and only now reported here, he appealed for assistance in this task from the peo- pie in general.
 He declared that "heaveRs curse rests upon the slave trade, which is overloaded with the leaden tears of parents and children" and drew moving pictures of ruthless separa- tions of husbands and wives, parents and children by the slave-owners.
 Announcing that a date would be fixed when slavery would cease to be legal in Nepal, the prime minister outlined a scheme whereby the gov ernment would assist in the suppress sion of buying slaves from those owners inclined to sell and liberat- ing them.
 He intfmated that the scheme would operate gradually but would look to the ultimate and complete elimination of the traffic. The gov ernment of Nepal, he added, had al- lotted ES5,00O for the purpose.

BRITISH DEBT NOTE
statement of Views to Paris, will Re Delivered About Middle of Next Week.

Be Delivered About Middle of
 Next Week.
 London, Feb. TIA note general in character, outlining the British views on the allied debts. was sent to Paris last evening, the communi- cation being in reply to Finance Minister C!ementel's questionnaire to Winston Churchill, Chancellor Of the Exchequer. asking for an inter pretation Of the application of the Balfour declaration of 1922 to the present circumstances.
 What the British treasury experts endeavored to work out for the ben eft of the cabinet members who drafted the note was q delayed scheme which would bring in annu- ally from the British debtors exact ly the same amount of money as England is paying yearly to the United States. It is left to France to work out her own specific proposals for her payments to this country.
 Paris, Feb. 7.-This British reply to Finance Minister Clementels let ter on the subject of inter-allied debts will be delivered here about the middle of next week, 1t Is now understood. Forecasts indicate that it will point out the necessity Of adapting the principles of the fa- nous Balfour note to the situation as 1t ne stands, but will not put forward any plan for settlement of debts, it being held in British off cial circles that such plan should be established and proposed by the French government.
 It is likely, says. the Petit Parisien, that after the reply is received and studied by the French government, Premier Herriot and M. Clementel will go to London to discuss the problem further with the British cabinet. The visit would both en- able M. Herriot and Clementel to return the recent visits to Paris Of British Foreign Secretary Chamber lain and Chancellor of the Ex- chequer Churchill, and give M. Her riot a chance to discuss personally with Premier Baldwin the multiple aspects of the problem of security, which has long preoccupied the two governments.
