SINCLAIR BECOMES
 MERELY NO. l0520
(Continued From First Page)

Sinclair surrendered last night to begin serving his term for refusing to answer questions asked during the senate oil investigation.
 After spending his first night on an iron cot in one of the dormitory cells. he faced the routine of being finger-printed, undergoing a physi- cal examination and then receiving an assignment for his share of the jail duties, which include principally dish washing, window washing and office work. He already has been assigned number 10520.
 Movements a Mystery
 Sinclair's movements yesterday until he suddenly appeared at the front of the jail in an automobile in which he had motored from New York were cloaked in mystery. He did not appear to witness the final court action which sent him to jail, and throughout the day. particularly after Justice William Hitz had or dered the sentence enforced, news paper men in New York and Wash ington had sought vainly for infor- nation as to when he would con- mence serving his sentence.
 The first inkling came shortly be- fore s o'clock last night when Edgar c. Snyder, United States marshall left his home carrying the commit ment papers and went for a confer ence at the jail with it's superinten- dent. Major William L. Peak.
 Believing Sinclair's arrival near the crowd gathered at the door of the jail moved restlessly to vantage

points but even then he took them by surprise. Through the murky ' rain three cars approached at s:]6 and out of the middle one stepped the oil man. accompanied by E. w. Sinclair. his brother. and c. T. Stan- ford. a lawyer. His only luggage was two handbags.
 Sinclair Very Nervous Flashlights greeted him and news- paper men crowded about as the trio stepped from the machine. Sim clair. visibly nervous and affected, stumbled. Slowly. and apparently hesitatinEly. he walked the few feet separating the car from the steps leading into the jail and was met at the door by tho federal marshal.
 T am glad to see you. Mr. Sin- clair." Snyder said.
 How do you do. Mr. Snyder" the oil man replied.
 He was taken to the superin- tendent's office, where, with his two companions. he vas closeted for about 15 minutes while being &C., quainted with the jail regulations and given his number.
 ''I don't suppose you are used to getting up as early as we do here?" Major Peak inquired.
 What timer" Sinclair asked.
 "5:45."
 "Oh, we'll, I guess I'll get accus- toned to the routine in a couple of days" Sinclair answered.
 Major Peak then informed the

and emigrated to America at the age of 10. He had seen good deal of the life of the Western plains and Of primitive fishing and farming communities tn the Far East and in Oceania when. in 1916. he was awarded the commission for Worces- ter's monument. known as the Rogers Kennedy memorial. He cast about for models. and finally con- cluded he couli find no better than here in Italy where he studied c5 years ago.
 One striking feature of the Sterne memorial is that it depicts no hiss toric scenes, Each panel of the base represents instead some phase of the hard. unremitting toll Of the seventeenth century in America. generally depicting man and a woman sharing the burdens of the day. By concentrating on this cen- tral theme of work he claims he has made his limestone New Englanders more true to life.

TUSCAN PEASANTS
 PILGRIM MODELS
Sculptor Finds Italians Resemble
 Our Puritan Fathers

Rome, May R-The Tuscan peasant of today is the physical kins- man of the Pilgrim father of 800 years ago, says Maurice Sterne. American sculptor, who has just completed here his imposing monu- ment to the forebears of present. day New England. to be erected this summer in Worcester. Mass.
 Only Tuscan posed for the figures in Mr. Sterne's sixteen bas-reliefs yet the innate Yankee quality of the types angularity of shoulders, el- bows and cheek. bones, stands out.
 ''lndustrialized New England" the sculptor explained to The Associated Press, offers today few of the old types such as We know from contem- porary portraits and prints. Life is easier for the rich. and occupations more varied for those not so rich. In order to find the physical charac- teristics of the settlers of the Old Colony, I had to discover a people who worked with the same kind of primitive farm implements, who hunted and fished in the same crude way. And I found them here in Italy mainly in the upland village of Anti col Dorado"
 The artist pointed out further that there was a similarity between the costumes of the Puritan epoch in America and those worn today in rural Italy. Here in the poorer com- munes the wives still do the spin- ming, carding and weaving as they did in the American pioneer com munites The straight line in the clothing of both men and women is much in evidence. Even the tough household furniture and home baked pottery show similarity.
 This likeness between Italian types, particularly in Tuscany. and those of New England is shown partly in the body. but also in the spirit" Mir. .sterne maintains. 'In the sculptures of the great men 0; Florence, for example. you will find many downright reminders of the early Bostonians. Wasn't the monk Savonarola a sort of predecessor of Cotton Mather and Roger Williams" And Donatello's statue of John the Baptist makes him ont to be almo ost as thoroughly Yankee. as say, Thor eau or Emers on."

PERSONAL TALKS
 ON PARA1I0NS
Bypat Confer Confdsndaly q Proposed German Conditions

Paris, May R-The reparations experts today resumed confidential personal talks in final effort to agree on a basis of the figures pro- posed by Owen D. Young.
 Dr.. Hjalmar Schacht, head of the German delegation. conferred with Mir. Young and delivered the text of certain conditions under which the Germans are ready to accept the proposed settlement.
 These conditions were communi- cated to the French and Belgian ex- perts who conferred regarding them with Sir Joseph Stamp, British dele gate, who now seems to be taking part of the burden of the final work of the conference off Mir. Young's shoulders
 The conditions, already known in the main, demand the right to re- vision of the plan, or suspension of unprotected payments at any time the Reich may find itself in economic difficulties. They also ask the right for Germany to demand convocation Of another committee of experts to consider whether reparations pay ments shall not be further reduced under certain circumstances. The unprotected part of the annuities. which would be the part attribut- able 10 interest on bonds for conn mercialization of part of the total debt. would be payable under all cir cumstances and would amount. ac- cording as the German offer or the allied demands prevail. to from 15O, 900, 900 to 900, 100000 gold marks (s1so,0oo.ooo to se16,ooo,- O00).
 The Knotty Problem
 It is on this point. how much of the separations debt shall be mob;l- ized and what shall be the part of the cash thus realized to go to France. that forms the knotty poin. of the negotiations.
 The French government welcomed the idea of conmercialization as part Of the plan of application of the To- carno policy adopted at Geneva last September. because is promised the chance for Premier Poincare to amortize at one stroke 50,0Oo. .0o0,- 900 francs of the internal debt and 10 reduce the interest charge in the budget by 2.500.000.0o francs. af- fording an opportunity to let up somewhat on complaining French taxpayers.
 French critics Of Mr. Young's scheme assume it will furnish little more than half of the anticipated 50. 900 900. .OO0 francs for purposes of amortization of the French internal debt. They say since that was the only inducement held out to France to continue it's policy of concessions to Germany, there is no longer any 0nd Dawes committee.
 It was confirmed today that the schedule of payments proposed be- gins with 5.o0O.000 gold marks tabout s402 2.ooo.ooo) increasing by :3.00O.ooo gold marks annually raecnlng z,UoU,OuV,OOO taDout 349-,- O.000) in the 18th year.
 Deliveries in kind would be lim~ ited to 750.O00, ,000 marks the first year, diminishing 50,00O, ,OO0 marks each year. The private talks of the experts will probably continue for a day or two with perhaps special ses- sion of the creditor nations before the situation will be ripe for a final | decisive plenary session.

teaching Indians and Eskimos to read
and write. There must be . founda-
ton for literacy a physical and eco
nomic substructure which would sup
port education. One of the first re-
quirements was for some means by
which the natives could secure more
than the barest requirements for
living.
Interior Alaska offered few posi-
bilities. Any extensive agriculture on
the bleak tundras during the short
growing season was out of the CUES
ton. The climate was too rigorous
for cattle or sheep herding. Atten-
ton was called to the reindeer. which
supplied food, milk, clothing and
transportation to the far northern
peoples of Europe and Asia. A small
herd was introduced as an expert

don jackson. then general agent of edu-
cation in Alaska. The country proved
ideally suited for them. They multiplied
enormously and became the basis of
a fourishing industry. The herds
now aggregate more than a million.
The reindeer in Alaska long since
has passed beyonl the status of an
adjunct to education. Nominal juris-
diction over the herds, however re-
manned in the hands of the bureau. 1t
doubtless will be glad to relinQuish
the responsibility to some department
Of the Government equipped to handle
live stock problems.
But the original purpose was ac-
complished. A means Of livelihood
was furnished the natives through
which they could hold up their heads
in the world. A depressing environ
ment, with It's inevitable consequences
of degeneration, was changed into a
one. A source of wealth
was created for the territory.
Few big-scale experiments ever have
succeeded better than that of the
Bureau of Education in introducing
reindeer into Alaska.

A Modern Interpreter.

American literature suffers note
worthy loss In the death of DR.. Edwin
E. slosson, for the past ten years a
resident OF Washington.
| DR.. Slosson entered the field of
journalism from the chemists labora-
| tory at a time when the minds of
laymen were being overwhelmed by q
tide-like confusion of miracles sweeping
out Of science. The age-old landmarks
of time and space were being swept
away.
There was urgent need of an inter-
prefer to resolve this confusion and for
such q role DR.. SlosSon was emnently
fitted. He combined the viewpoints of
the trained scientist and the. humanist
He possessed a charming literary style
which could invest with a romantic
glamour the most dificult of scientific
researches. He was able to anchor
physics and chemistry in human nature.
In the latter years OF his life DR..
Slosson turned more and more to the
philosophy of science. He had recon-
ciled in his own mind the nRw
knowledge and religion and he sought
to share the reconciliation with others.
Few men in our day have contributed
more to this reconciliation. He under
stood both viewpoints and he had the
respect of both parties. One of his
latest activities was as chairman of the
directors OF the Life Adjustment Center
of the Mount Pleasant Conversational
Church. fundamental experiment In
combining the resources of science and
religion for the benefit of the suffering
man or woman.
DIR. Slosson succeeded in investing
science with mysticism and faith with
reality. He knew the laws of chemical
and physical relations, he knew the
PHILOSOPHERS and the faiths, and he
understood men and women. He never
lost sight of the thread of the human
running through the laws of matter
and extending even into the most re-
mote fields OF that modern mysticism
OF hyperdimensional mathematics which
now has fallen upon the world.
