PARIS, June !. tUP) - The rep
arations problem has been settled.
Thomas ". Lamont, American bank
er, announced today that the experts
of seven nations, after struggling
for almost four months with the
complicated problem of how much
Germany shall pay for the World
War, had at last reached final
agreement.
The experts hope TO sign the agree
ment early next week. The only
obstacle is Belgium s refusal to sign
until she has obtained satisfaction
on her claim against Germany for
the dcflation Of her currency during
the war Berlin and the allies were
making every effort to appcase the
Bclgians on the question, which has
been left outside the rcparations
agreement itself for settlement be
tween the two nations.
Germany has settled, in effect,
for $S,S0s, 100000 cash. That is, if
she paid the entire sum today, she
would turn over that amount in gold.
The money win be paid on the in
stallment plan, however, and within
the next 80 years Germany will pay
an average OF about Sass 100000 an
nually. That is. the allies viii actual

being figured at five per cent,
The knotty problems with which
the experts struggled for so long
were finally settled by concessions
on all sides. The only problem not
settled by the agreement was Bel
gium S claim for compensation on
account of the deflation of her cur
rency during the German war time
occupation. The question was left
for the two governments to settle
between themselves.
Thus the work of the conference,

ruling; IN
favor Of
JAPANESE:
Sutter County Decision
On Alien Land Law Is
Overruled.
REVERSAL SURPRISE
Legal Authorities State
Courts Action Practical
" Nullifies Law.
BY HOMER L. ROBERTS
United Press Staff Correspondent

-
SACRAMENTO, Calf. June ;.
U.P)-California's japanese alien
land law stood virtually nullified to-
day, in opinion of high legal author
tiles, as the result of significant
decision by the third district court
Of appeals in Sacramento.
Reversing the judgment of the
Sutter county superior court in its
conviction of X. Osaki and K. Yoshi-
Okla for violation of the act, the
appellate court held that no crime
can be proven "unless the fact is
definitely established that the de-
fendant is an alien.'
This requirement, according to
District Attorney Arthur Coates OF
Yuba City and other attorneys, is
tantamount to complete vitiation OF
the law, in that it is admittedly i'm
possible for a prosecutor to prove
whether a japanese was born in
Japan or America.
The Sutter county case, one OF the
most hotly contested since passage
of the alien land act in 1915, arose
out of an alleged conspiracy between
Yoshioka, an American born Japan
ese, and Osaki whom the trial court
instructed the jury was an alien.
Osaki, it was charged, used Yoshi-
Okla as mask for leasing and work
| ing large amount of rice land in
| Sutter county.
IA, ha
violating the allan land law, the
two were convicted upon five of the
six counts in the bill of Indictment.
In appealing from the verdict, the
accused men attacked the constitu-
tionalty of a 1927 amendment to
the alien land law, placing the bur-
den of proof of citizenship upon the
defendant.
Proof up to State
The 1927 amendments are in vio-
lation of the constitutional guaran-
tees as to due process of law and
equal protection, the appellate court
insisted. "We think it unneces-
sary," the decision said, "to cite
authorities to support the maxim
that the burden of proof never shifts
from the prosecution to prove all
the facts necessary to este blish the
crime charged"
Gin every prosecution of the kind
with which we are dealing there are
three elements to be established:
First, the defendant must be an
alien; second, the defendant must be
an alien ineligible to citizenship un-
der the naturalization laws of the
United States, and third, the acquis-
ition and use of the character of
real estate prohibited by the alien
land law
The court quoted from the appel
liant s brief that this country now
contains more than 10000 japanese
born in the United States. Although
all of these people are spoken Of as
"Japanese, this only demonstrates
that to presume from such a state
ment that they are ineligible to
citizenship is "an arbitrary conclu-
sion and directly contrary to the
facts the defendants held.

COMPROMISE ON
FARM MEASURE
LEADERS HOPE
Outlook Relieved When
Hoover Agrees To Ad-
jOurnment.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June l. U.H =
With both houses recessed for the
week end, farm bill~conferees went
to work today to complete a salts
factory compromise, clearing the
way for early adoption of the legis-
lation so congress may adjourn un-
til fall.
The dark legislative outlook clear
ed perceptibly when President Hoov-
er announced at the White House
late yesterday he would agree to ad-
iournment if the farm bill is com
pleted and a date set for senate
vote on the tariff bill. The leaders
plan to fix Nov. . as the date for the
tariff vote. They spurred the farm
conferees to stay away from the sea
shore this warm Saturday so farm
bill agreement may be made ready
for senate action early next week.
The White House statement did
not dissuade the small Republican
group in the senate which started 2
fight several days ago to make con
gress stay and finish the tariff bill
Senator Borah, Idaho, and Senator
Jones, Washington, assistant Repub
lican leader, still favor this course
They are backed by perhaps 10 mid
western senators and they may YET

Eliminate Depenture

The farm conferees may complete
their agreement late today. An un-
derstanding has been reached that
the debenture provision is to be
eliminated. Meanwhile the commit
tees representing the house and SEN
ate are perfecting the rest Of the
bill. Such an agreement IS certain
to be ratified in the house and 1t
will be brought to the senate with
the warning: "Take this or get
nothing Although not a single
vote is reported to have been chang
ed since the senate adopted the &c
! benture feature three weeks ago 4
I to A, the leaders believe the warn
ing may have its desired effect.
When Mr.. Hoover signs the bill
as ne is almost certain to do II ii
does not contain the debenture pro
vision. most of the reasons for con
gress remaining through the summer
will then be obviated.
WASHINGTON, June l. U.P)-
Democrats on the senate finance
committee decided in conference to-
day to let Republicans proceed with
plans for three months summer
recess on the basis prescribed by
President Hoover, that the tarm
bill be completed and date set for
a serate vote on the tariff biz.
The Democrats are willing that
the tariff bill be passed before
December and said they would agree
to fixing a definite date in Novem-
ber for final disposition of the
measure. This leaves only the mid
western Republicans fighting the
proposition and it is generally be-
lieved they cannot resist long.
While the Democratic tariff con
ference was on, the farm conferees
of both houses held another meet
ing ironing out differences in the
house and senate bills. They con-
tinued to avoid the disputed deben-
ture provision but said they would
return later to tackle that problem.
An agreement eliminating the de-
benture provision may be reached
before night, if all other matters of
difference can be settled before
that time.
Both houses were in recess over
the v eek end.

with the firm intention Of taking the
group lead.
The Maroons play at Chicago with
every prospect Of an easy victory over

With q chance for the American
team to tie for second place in its
group and for the Canadiens to tie
for second In their division. Boston

manager much food for thought.
Three-fourths of the 1928 infield
cast will remain-Bill Terry at first

Fred Lindstrom at third. Second is
uncertain. Andy will play the bag
but whether 1t is to be Reese or
Cohen remains to be seen. No mat
ter which Andy is given the assign
ment, the other will remain on call.

McGraw thinks the outfield prob
lem may develop into an abundance

his club when he procured the serv-
ices Of Fred Leach by trade from ths
