receives the charges. w. j.
Holloway, Lieutenant Cover
nor, will fill his Office pending
Johnston's trial by the senate
court of impeachment.
Under constitutional law the

the impeachment charges are vot-
ed against him by the house.
The Governor will remain in Of
flee over the weekend. Any act OF
suspension must come from the sem
ate, which adjourned prior to pas
sage of the impeachment resolution.
Governor Denies Wrong
Previously sentiment among the
anti administration leaders had in
dicated the house would attempt to.
bring about Governor Jollnston's
suspension Immediately.
Governor Johnston, in an inter-
view with newspaper men. after his
impeachment had been voted, de-
clared the charges voted against
him were mot even technical and
that he was crystal clear" of any
wrong.
He asserted that the house by its
action had irnpeached itself.
Every man who voted those
charges believes and most of them
know that I have never done
wrong thing in my life," he said.
"Any man who Stultif1es himself by
voting caucus action to adjudge the
guilt or innoncence of his fellow
man, stands himself impeached.
FoiIed in 1927
Il feel something just bubbling
over within me because I know
that I have done nothing wrong"
Similar charges brought against
Governor Johnston by the 1927
house we're quashed in the senate.
During the recent house committee
investigation, Johnston supporters
sought to sidetrack the impeach-
ment move by introducing 2 resolu-
ton in the senate demanding In.
vestigation of charges that certain
senators we're bribed to quash the
1927 impeachment.

DUEL IN Store
WITH BANDIT

FIRE AT FIFTEEN FEET
Actors in Gun Battle Flee in
Opposite Direc-
tionS.

A bandit who this morning en-
gagged in pistol duel with Charles
w. Friedman, proprietor of a drug
store at 1902 South Meridian street.
owes his life to the age of the cart
ridge in Friedman's gun, according
to police.
The bandit and Friedman ex-
changed shots from distance of
about fifteen feet. The bandits bull
let missed Friedman few inches.
Friedman's bullet, police found,
struck a tin, exhibit case on top of
a counter directly in line between
Friedman and the bandit. The bull
let merely dented the case, not hav-
ing force enough to pierce 1t.
Rushes for Revolver
If the bullet had pierced the case,
as it would have If the powder in
the cartridge had not lost its force
from age. the bandit likely would
have been killed, police believed.
Friedman was alone in the store
when the bandit, tall youth of
about %, wearing a long block rain
coat, entered at 8 a. m.
The youth asked for 10 cents
worth of drug. Friedman gave him
the drug and went to the cash reg
lister to get change for quarter.
AS he started to return the bandit
yelled, Come here, you,'' and drew
a 38-caliber revolver.
Friedman dashed through swing
ing door leading back to the pre-
scription counter and got his re-
volYer.
Misses SITS i'm Drawer
AS he came back through the
doors he fired. The bandit returned
one shot. Friedman turned and ran
out the back door. The bandit evi-
IDENTIFY dashed out the front door at
the same time although no one saw
him leave. He took no money with
him. At the time of the pistol duel
he vas standing within three feet
of drawer containing SITS Fried
man had on hand to cash checks.
When police arrived, Friedman
was so excited he was unable at
first to tell whether his name is
spelled with lie or Ell.
Today's holdup was Friedman s
third. Last summer lone Negro
attempted to rob him and Friedman
held him at bay with the same gun
he used today. but the Negro
backed out of the door and escaped.

A. P. BOY REFUSES
T0EALS|FY FIGURES
Youth Causes Arrest of Pair
Attempting to Fake Clear
ing House Statement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 8.-The honesty
Of Harold Harris, 16-year-old Associated
Press office boy, uncovered and defeated
yesterday an attempt to falsify clearing
house figures posted In the New York
clearing house.
Because Harold would not "sell his
boss OUT two men were in jail last
night, charged with attempted bribery.
The policy game in which yesterday S
coup was attempted is based on combi-
nations Of numerals taken from two fig
ures posted every day at the clearing
house-the exchanges and the balances.
1t is played the world overall over
the United States, in South America
and in Europe. It is said to be bigger
in this country than the base ball pool.
Huge sums Of money sometimes change
hands.
Copies Figures From Board.
Harold's job every day is to go down
to the clearing house just before noon,
copy the figures off a sheet posted there
and telephone them to the Associated
Press Wall Street bureau. All the New
York newspapers and the other news
agencies have Office boys or reporters
who do the same thing.
Yesterday as he was leaving the
clearing house with the figures, Harold
says, two men stepped up to him,
showed him SIS, and said it would be
his If he would telephone the numbers
they gave him instead Of those he had
copied of the sheet.
Harold refused.
well, alright but you'll get into
trouble anyway" one OF them said after
they had argued with him for sometime
"Au the nj her h0vS are fixed Their
numbers will agree, and yours won't
You just watt
That got Harold worried. So when
he got back to the office he told what
had happened.
Detectives Make Arrests.
The result was that when Harold
went after those figures today he was
accompanied by two police detectives
of the Associated Press. They waited
in the offing while Harold went in ano
copied the figures. AS he came out, q
man stepped up to him and said:
THE guy with the money is right
across the street."
The detectives thereupon arrested
Nathan Felington and Lawrence Sack

BRAND RHINELAND
EVACUATION VIEWS

there is no reason for introducing it in
any arrangement to be made.
German Objection.
Dr. Stresemann objected even to tenn
porary existence Of such a committee to
cover the period intervening between
adoption OF the Young plan and the
legal date for evacuation. He contended
that Germany expected as a conse-
quence of the adoption of the Young
plan and commereialization of the un-
conditional annuities that the Rhine
land would be evacuated within three
months from the payment of the first
installment under the new arrangement.
M. BRAND referred to French public
opinion which, he said, was not yet en-
tirely ready to abandon the Rhineland,
but would 60 as far as possible to facili-
tate settlement that would remove irri-
tating questions from European di-
plomacy. He recalled that the control
at Geneva, out of which grew the re-
vision of reparations and the present
conference here.
The German minister recalled that
the question Of security for France, as
well as for Poland, is covered by the
Locarno pact.
The German foreign minister and the
French premier agreed that there
ought to be no revision Of the Young
plan. This question was the subject of
a conference at the same time between
Chancellor Snowden of Great Britain
and Minister of Finance Hilferding of
Germany. The German attitude on this
matter was that the question of shar-
ing reparations concerned the creditors
alone and that Germany has gone to
the limit in what she can pay and will
concede nothing more.
Gives Detailed Plan.
Foreign Minister Stresemann pre-
sented Premier BRAND with a detailed
scheme for settlement Of the Saar VAL
ley problem. He proposed a financial
arrangement by which the coal mines,
which are the property Of French capt.
talists, be ceded to Germans, and ter
ritory of the Saar now governed under
the auspices of the League Of Nations
be turned over at once to German ad-
ministration. The matter OF the Saar
Valley would, under the treaty OF
Versailles. be settled by plebiscite in
five years. Counting on the expressed
decide for Germany, rather than
France, DR.. Stresemann offered an in
ducement to the French to settle the
matter forthwith.
During the day Premier Venizelos OF
Greece, representing the smaller credi-
tors, had a talk with Louis Loucheur
and Henri Cheron, French delegates. II
was understood that the French were
endeavoring to find a means Of satisfy
ing Greece and other countries whose
out payments are not covered by the
Young plan in some sort Of readjust-
ments Of debts. The Greek debt ia
France, it is recalled, is more than halt
Of what Greece owes, and has never
been funded.
Conflicting viewpoints on the Young
reparations plan were submitted today
to two committees in secret session with
the hope that reconciliation might be
achieved.
