paper which had borne the black
mailing letters which Cherry had re-

patent leather hand bag and inserted
a hastily folded sheet Of the paper
and an envelope. The purple edge
of . piece Of carbon paper showed be-

Great Northern
Would Set Aside
Commission Order

ST. Paul, Nov. l3.-lP)-Complaint
was filed in federal district court
here Friday by the Great Northern
railway seeking to set aside an order
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission holding that the Great North
ern was overpaid by the government
in connection with the six months
guaranty period following federal
The railroad contends that instead
Of having been overpaid $1,320, 705,
as c0ntended by the commission, it
has, in fact. been underpaid and that
no refund is due the government.
The complaint charges the commits
sion made several material errors
in Understanding the amount Of
its compensation. The largest single
error complained Of is that, in de-
termining q proper allowance for
maintenance expenses, the commits
sion computed expenses for one half
Of the year. instead Of estimating the
necessary EXPENSES for that partic.
ular six months period.
A fair estimate for the particular
six months in question, the company
claims, would exceed halt the full
years expenses by approximately
$3,086,000 as that time covered the
period of heaviest expenses.

BERLIN, October 19.-Despite pes
simistic press reports from America,
the German government is confident
that a large block of Dawes plan of
German railway bonds will eventu
ally be f1oated in the United States.
According to reports. the Berlin gov
ernment has been advised by Amer
lean bankers that the United States
can absorb nearly half a billion dol
lars worth of these bonds if the terms
of the issue are made attractive to
private investors.

However, no quick settlement of

be weeks before German and French
experts have brought the necessary
technical Investigations to a point
where it will be possible for a full
formal conference between Germany
and the reparation powers. But the
German government believes sufficient
progress will be made for at least a
preliminary discussion when the
League of Nations Council meets in
December.
Among the big questions involved
are: First--and on this point the Ger
man government delegation is ex-
tremely curious-whether the Ameri-
can Government will demand it's "a

account of its quota from the Dawes

reparation powers of the question of
exemption Of interest payments, on
railway bonds sold to the public. from
the transfer and safeguard clause of
the Dawes agreement; third, and
most crucial Of all. the question raised
by the German government of the
fixation of Germany's total repara-
tion payments and in this connection
the final regulation of the allied war
debts to the United States.
Reduced Debt Payments.
In this connection officials here
anticipate that the United States
