IS MADE
 IN DEBT PARLEYS
But U, S,-Belgian C0nIerees
 Encounter Difficulties
STILL ARE OPTIM MYSTIC
Actual Terms Of Settlement Arc Said To Be Under Examination By American Financial Experts To- day.

Washington, Aug, 12 P,--some progress was made today Tn the Belgian debt funding negotiations. The discussion reached the point where actual terms of a proposed settlement were under examination
 There were indications that the way had been found not quite as smooth as expected, but the com- missioners still appeared optimistic.
 The first proposal of Belgium was found unacceptable 10 the United States yesterday.
 The proposition made yesterday by the visitors and rejected by the Americans form the starting point from which the discussion of terms will proceed, just how far apart the commissions are was not disclosed. but some members of the American commission expressed the opinion that the negotiations might be con- Cluded this week.
 Basis Of Understanding
 Officials said it was not 10 be ex- pected that the first proffer of set tlement would be agreed to, calling to attention that the initial offer by Great Britain likewise had been found unacceptable but served as a basis from which the commissions were able to reach an agreement without particular difficulty.
 With Belgium coming forward promptly with an offer of settlement the negotiations moved faster than the Americans had expected. This of itself was gratifying to them and at the conclusion of the two Joint sessions yesterday an air of optim- ism prevailed.
 The terms which the visitors pre- sentod were not disclosed nor would the American commissioners indI- cate whether a moratorium and division of the war and postwar debts had been requested. Before the parlcys began it was indicated that Belgium might ask for period in which there would be no payment of principal and interest and also for a separate treatment for the war and postwar debts.

HARD COAL RATES
 NOT 10 BE LOWER
But Freight on ". Va. Smoke,
 less Will Be Cut
1, (. (, GIVES OUT ORDER
Report says That Lower Anthracite Rates to New England Would Save Householder S5.2O Year But Would Hurt Railroads.
/ The Associated Press.

Ky The Associated Press.
 Washington, Aug. 12 Pl-Rail. roads serving West Virginia smoke less coal districts were ordered by the interstate commerce commission today 10 lay down a new basis of rates which will allow movement of such coal to consuming territory h. cluding all of New England and tke North Atlantic seaboard.
 The commission refused to orde general rate reductions of anthra- cite and possible substitutes for an- thracite. The action was taken aft CT an investigation of several months.
 Restrained By Rates
 The investigation showed con- ciusively, the commission said. that the marketing of West Virginia slnokeless fuel as a substitute for anthracite was restrained by a lack of proper joint rates. The railroads were notified to remedy the de- ilciency by October Is. under princi- ples set forth in the decision.
 The study of rates on anthracite and other fuel suitable for house. hold use was undertaken by the commission with the assistance of the United States coal commission, and the possibility of making a re- 'luction of approximately ten per cent in anthraci rates was given particular attertiOn. The conclusion reached was that such q reduction would have s5.oo per year to a householder in Boston who used 1c17 tons of anthracite per year.
 Cannot Absorb Cut
 A study of the railroad earnings in the eastern territory, particularly n New England; indicated to the commission that the carriers would be unable to absorb the reduction.
 Upon the record we are unable to ind that all Of the rates on anthrn- cite coal now in force are excessive, unreasonable or otherwise unlawful" tho decision said, land in our opin- ion a horizontal reduction of all those rates to an extent which could he reflected in an appreciable re- duction Of the retail selling prices of domestic sizes of anthracite would reduce the income of several of the carriers of anthracite to an extent which would impair their credit and consequently their ability to perform .ufficient and satisfactory transpor- alton service.
 "The record Is persuasive X that impairment Of the ability of the rarriors 10 perform sufficient trans portation in connection with the dis tribution of anthracite coal might ruhIect consumers to hardships vhich would outweigh any benefit

BLOOD HOUND TRACES
PRAIRIE FARM THIEVES

Better than circus and more ex-
citing than a horse race was
Senogles' hound in action at Prairie
Farm Sunday Of last week. Over
100 automobiles and something like
500 people followed the famous
Mansion bloodhound and his master
mid glazing lights and rising dust
along the road from the village to a
farm home where the dog went up
stairs to a room where two boys were
asleep. Petty robbcries had been
numerous around Prairie Farm SO
Sheriff E. S. Jacobson called en- z.
P. Senogles when the A. f. Anderson
home was robbed of SIG. The de-
nouement was fully as sensational as
when the hound trailed down Heider
at Barron few years ago after set
ting fire to William Browns barn.

Legion Team Loses
At Maiden Rock

The River Falls American Legion
baseball team lost its first game of
the season last Sunday, taking the
short end of Al count at Maiden
Rock.
1t was good game, despite the
fact that some of the Falls players
were getting back into harness for
the first time after years of absence
from the diamond.
Stan. Chinook, twirling for the
DICTIONARIES, went strong except for
enc rough inning when the Rockies
got to his bullet ball for four clean
hits. "Mac" Smith, 1S-year-old
mound artist, twirled mastery ball
for the Rocks and except in the first
inning, was seldom in danger.
The game was well attended, and
over half the crowd was from River
Falls.

MORNING FIRE DESTROYS
HUDSON DEPOT RESTAURANT

The Ryan sisters restaurant at the
Hudson junction depot was totally
destroyed by fire early last Wednes-
day morning. The blaze is supposed
to have started from defective wiring
in the attic.
John Ryan built the restaurant in
the early 'nineties, and, with the ex-
ception of one year, it has been con-
Quoted by the Ryans ever since, with
Misses Kate and Jane Ryan in charge
at the time of the fire.
Their loss is partially covered by
insurance, and they plan to rebuild.
There was considerable delay in
answering the fire alarm which was
sent in by Ben Anderson, night tele-
graph operator at the depot. The
alarm system, operated from the
Hudson phone switchboard, balked
and it was necessary to call up a
couple of the firemen individually,
and when the department arrived at
the scene it was found that the
water hydrant was so leaky that
there was no pressure for the hose.
A rain storm, during the night, is
credited with saving the junction de-
pot from the same fate as befell the
restaurant.

Notes OF The Game
By Blue Monday

Maiden Rocks "kid" pitcher used
a miniature baseball; that is, it looked
no bigger than a pea to some of the
River Falls batters.
One of Maiden Rocks batters in
sisted on standing in front of the
plate until one of STAINS fast ores
busted him off, after which he waved
at 'em from mole respectful dis
lance.
Frank Symes, coming back to the
game after several years off the
diamond, was stationed out on the
cliff that is left field where he had
all the thrills of a mountain goat
trying to maintain his balance
among the boulders.
Maiden Rocks center fielder must
have had baseball magnet conceal
ed about him somewhere; he hauled
in about half dozen easy fly pops
without moving from his tracks.
The ground attendants principal
occupation during game at Maiden
| Rock is to chaperon a mooley cow
from one out-feld to the other, tim
ing the progress SO that bossy has
the grass clipped just before the
| game ends.
When Herb Helner went in at
| left field in the eighth Maiden Rock
was retired in order, by the infeld,
and when Herb came to bat in the
ninth, with two out and a man on
second-the game was over.
A hermit or something resides in
shack located just back of third
base on the Maiden Rock diamond.
| Spectators divided their attention
between the game and the hermit'S
bottle, and the game and the bottle
were finished simultaneously.
Three Maiden Rock players wore
the same kind of uniform; the others
showed what might be called "in-
dividuality in dress"
Art Striebel give the big fielding
sensation of the fracas when he
speared line drive after a long run,
saving the ball from demolishing a
cow shed in right field. Art came to
an abrupt stop at the brink of deep
gorge which efficiently marked the
foul line. The River Falls fans and
both Maiden Rock spectators ap-
plauded vociferously.

FRIDAY WAS HOTTEST;
SATURDAY WAS COOLEST

The north pole flyers had nothing
on this vicinity in weather change
when they made their tour last T1i-
day and Saturday, for the people of
this section stayed right at home and
sweltered at 10 degrees one day and
shivered at 40 the n9xt.
Friday, when the mercury reached
81 in the shade and, according to
Frank Thayer at the normal school,
ITO in the sun, it registered the hot
test May day ever recorded in the
Northwest.
Saturday, dropping suddenly about
ten o'clock in the morning, the mer-
curry dove down to the 40 mark in the
afternoon, which, while it perhaps
isn't the lowest May temperature on
record, is plenty chilly and alto
gether too much Of change.

CULVERTS ARE MENACE;
CAUSE SEVERAL WRECKS

There are several cement culverts
throughout the neighborhool which,
built for the narrower roadways Of
past years, now constituts a constant
menace to traffice and cause fre.
quent automobile wrecks.
Two such culverts are located on
Highway 35 just north Of. River Falls,
and both are SCARED from frequent
interference with the traffic.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Herring, 6riv-
ing into town from the north last
Friday evening, struck one Of these
and Mrs. Herring was badly scratch
ed about the face WHEN thrown into
the windshield of their car from the
impact. Mr.. Herring, driving, was
forced SO hard against the steering
wheel that it was broken, but he suf-
fered only few bruises.
Dozens of accidents, most of them
fortunately less serious to the per-
sons involved, but all Of them re-
sulting in badly smashed up cars,
have happened at these culverts since
the highway at that point was wild
ened a few years ago, and unless
warning signs arc posted, or the cul-
verts rebuilt to the present edge of
the highway the accident list will
continue to grow.

WHITE & DUNN STORE
AT GLENWOOD CITY ROBBED

The White & Dunn store at Glen
wood City was broken into Monday
right and about $1,000 worth Of
clothing, including thirty-five suits,
several necktiee, some caps, ETC., and
also a revolver were stolen.
erie White, formerly of this city,
is in charge of the store, and Angus
C. Dunn, owner of Dunn Bros. store
here is in partnership with Mr..
White in the Glenwood City e4ab-
lishment.
The thieves also raided the Fl. j..
Hartman hardware store, across the
street from White & Dunn's, and the
Glenwood City post office that same
night. They secured quite supply
of rifles, knives and other stock
from the hardware store, but took
nothing of value from the post Of
fee.
Raids at Deer Park and Amery
that night are also believed to have
been made by the same crew which
invaded Glenwood City. At Deer
Park the bank was entered but rot
much loot was obtained, and an oil
station was robbed of some small
change at Amery
The theft of the C. N. Wiger car
Saturday night is thot to be in
some way connected up with the
other robberies, and the finding Of an
abandoned Ford sedan in front of the
Com. Short residence here is also
supposed to have something 70 do
with it. The sedan left there had
been stripped of it's license plates,
and it is thot that those who
abandoned it left it Sin trade" for the
Wiger car.

WIGER'S FORD SEDAN
STOLEN FROM GARAGE

Chris. n. Wiger's Ford sedan was
stolen from his garage at the rear of
his home on Third street some time
during Saturday night or early Sun
day morning.
When Mr.. Wiger first discovered
that the car was gone he thought
perhaps some friend had borrowed it
to run an emergency errand, and
that it would soon be returned.
But upon investigation he noted
that whoever took the car out was
evidently not acquainted with the
runway and had cramped it around
off the driveway instead of backing
it straight to the street. He then
began making inquiries, and later
secured the services of a Twin City
detective in an effort to trace the
theft. No trace of the car has yet
been found.
A stolen Ford sedan, found in front
of the c. P. Short residence Saturday
night has been traced to ownership
in Minneapolis, where it was stolen
by garage employee 1t is thought
that the stolen car played out here
and the thief left it and stole Mr..
Wiger's car to continue his journey
The garage employee suspected OF
having stolen the Minneapolis car is
also said to have cashed forged
check which he took from mail box
in that city.
