 Captain Lehman said no decision would be made regarding the pas sengers, however. until Dr. Hugo Eckener the ships master. returned from Friedricrshafen. but that. in any event. the seven French officers would be taken with the ship to Ger many.

 Success Expected

Paris. May 22 R-A modified draft report agreed upon by the reparations experts of the allied nations and covering letter mak- ing clear the allies views, was transmitted to Dr. Hjalmar Schacht. chief of the German delegation, this afternoon.
 With the receipt of the draft re. port setting forth the. views of the creditor experts, the next move is now again up to the Germans, who had been waiting more than a week for the allied delegates to act.
 The Germans probably will take day or two to study the new situation. although they have been kept informed all along in a gen. eral way of the progress of the negotiations among the creditor experts.
 If. as has been stated on good authority. the creditors decisions involve a change in annuities which will mean increased payments by Germany. they will be rejected. 1t was said in German quarters today.
 Compromise Elected
 The creditors in order to ind means of satisfying Belgium and other smaller claimants hit upon the expedient of applying parts Of the reparation receipts under the Dawes plan to the new reparations annuities under the plan proposed by MT. Young.
 It is understood they assume the Germans will pay under the Dawes plan until the end of the year. By applying the surplus over the Young annuities to the new repara-

 Though the letter carried . threat of death unless 450.O00 was placed at a zap in the wall' near the Joseph Balch estate here, authorities were convinced that the bIackmatler meant no harm.
 Supporting this tiseory, 4Aey, pointed to the fact thaf in five asss- lar cases since 1925, the sans de- mands had been made upen pronsi- nent persons without tho author of the letters ever appearing to collect the money.

Attacks White Girl

HOUSTON, March 16.-(P)-A

woods between Houston Heights and
the Hampstead road for a negro al
legged to have criminally assaulted a
white girl after taking her from her
escort last night at the point of a
pistol.

to a detective by Edward Boswell,
%, of Houston. Boswell said he was
sitting in his parked car with a 20
year-old girl companion when the
negro came up to them with a pistol
and ordered the girl out of the car.
The black forced her to 60 with
him into the woods along the banks
of White Oak Bayou between West
18th and West 18th streets.

and a party started to the place
where the girl and negro had van
ished in the woods.
In crawling through a fence,
Willis, who was holding the gun, let
it slip from his hands and it was
discharged. 1T is believed the negro
was frightened away by the sound
of the gunShot.
