WAR DEBT EXPERTS
REPORT IS SCANNED
Showdown on Preparations
May Be Delayed to Satur-
day by Long Document.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 16.-Not before tomor-
row. possibly even Saturday, it appeared
today, can the final showdown in the
work of the experts conference on re-
parations be expected.
The experts report, drawn up by sub
committee headed by Sir Josiah Stamp,
has proved too ponderous a document
for rapid digestion, and the plenary
session forecast for this afternoon has
been moved forward to permit thorough
perusal Of its so pages, II chapters. and
20 subheadS. Il
Schacht Conditions Included.
Accompanying the report when copies
were sent to each of the experts last
night, It was understood, was a docu-
ment containing some of the conditions
of DR.. Ijalmar Schacht, German
spokesman, which had been omitted
from it's body at the earnest persuasion
of Owen D. Young, conference chair
man. There also was letter from DR..
Schacht to Mr.. Young Signifying ac-
ceptance Of annuities figures suggested
Embodied in the report itself were
those German conditions concerning
which DR.. Schacht and his colleagues
were most inSiStent. It was understood
they dealt principally with the posi-
bility of suspension of part Of the an
nuities in case of German distress, and
with possibility of eventual revision of
the total figures If the schedule should
become too burdenSome.
Unanimity on Figures Held Key.
AS a whole the report is based, it is
believed, on the idea Of reaching una
nimity of the figures and conditions Of
payment, leaving distribution of the
payments among the allies for the gov
ernments to settle at later confer
ence.
1t was as uncertain as ever today
what would be the ultimate result of
the experts three months of labor,
whether the subcommittee report
would be accepted when finally it faced
a plenary session, or would be rejected.

IS
ANOTHER
POLICE
THEORY

CHICAGO, May 9 (I.N.S.).
Chicago police officials said to-
day they were investigating a
report that John Scalise, AL
bert Anselmi and Joseph
Giunta, found shot to death
yesterday in Hammond, Ind,
were killed by fellow Sicilians
seeking control of booze and
vice profits in Chicago.
This theory indicates the triple
murder was not in reprisal for
the st. Valentine Day massacre OF
seven Moran gangsters.
New information reaching the
police was that the three were
slain becsus they tried to extort
rum running profits and levy
tribute on Italians in legitimate
lines of business.
Scalisi was at liberty on $5O,O0O
bond along with Machine Gun"
Jack McGurn pending trial for the
murder Of the seven Moran men
executed with machine guns.
Scalisi was freed on bail because
prosecutors said they were not yet
ready to proceed with the trial.
The State of Illinois tried three
times to send Scalise and Anselmi
to the gallows. They killed two
detectives in a savage gun fight in
1925 in which Mike Genna, a COM
panion and gang leader, was slain.
Acquttal of the two resulted from
q plea that they mistook the police.
men, in civilian dress, for enemy
mobsmen.
Allied with the Genna band,
which was affiliated with the Ca
pone gang. Scalise and Anselmi
were suspects in the murder Of
Dion O'Banion, but finally were
liberated without formal charges be-
ing placed against them.
Coroner, Herman Bundesen too
blaRed the Moran band for yester-
days triple killing.
Its the old eye-for-an-eye and
tooth .for-a-tooth racket" said the
coroner.
Another Theory
Another theory entertained was
that the executioners of the Moran
gangsters had become so dizzy with
a sense of their own power after
ward that they had to be slain by
their own bosses for the good of
the service
But believe" Deputy Com
missioner Siege added, that this
job has the Moran trademark on it.
Il am also convinced that 1t
means more war. Moran himself
and Capone himself are likely to
be the targets in the next ex
change of bullets.
Giunta was known as the leader
of Chicago Sicilians. He. was the
third local Sicilian leader shot to
death in the past year.
Lately, police understand, Scalise
severed connections with the Capone
organization to become body.
guard and business partner of
Giunta.
