REICH Wins HELP
OF NEW YORK BANK
Chase National Has Agreed
to Keep Existing Funds
in Germany.
by EDGAR ANsEL MowRER.

BY Gable to The Star,
BERLIN, Germany, July 3O.-James
H. Cannon, London representative OF
the Chase National Bank Of New York,
left for London today with what passes
for q creditors agreement with German
banks In his pocket.
The entire German people has been
informed that thanks to this self -con-
troll agreement, at least the majority
of American and other creditor banks
will Voluntarily refrain from Withdraw
ing further credits from Germany.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Cannon seems TO
be under Misrepresentation: Although
the German government. the German
people and the world press have been
given to understand that Mr.. Cannon
Is representing a group OF III OF the
largest American banks. 1t has been
learned from the best possible sources
that this Is not exact and that Mr..
Cannon is representing only one bank
and that it is unlikely that other
American banks, even the bigger ones,
viii consent to enter the Creditors
Committee.
partial bank moratorium, which has
been In existence here since the proela-
nation of the bank holiday July Is,
will In some form or other be prolonged
and probably extended before the Ger
man banks can again open their doors
and do anything like normal business.
Today German banks are forbidden
to pay creditors abroad from any OF
their German counters. Some have
gotten around this by paying through
foreign branches. The majority simply
have not paid. despite the increasing
mass of notices TO pay from foreign
banks. amounting to more than $780,
0O0, 900.
Unless the Reichsbank receives a new
rediscount credit, the banks will be I'M
able to meet these payments. There
fore new legislation can be expected to
meet the situation.

to time today.
The Government, preparing to send
Alphose Capone to prison had achieved
another great victory in it's relentless
war upon the criminal gangs grown
rich by flouting prohibition.
But Capone-"magnate', of the alcc-
hol trade, millionaire controller OF

investigation of the wealth OF Ralph
Capone, brother of AL. An offer of

PARIS, July 30.-Naval negotiations
looking toward q new limitation agree
ment between France and Italy today
were reported to have begun, with
Rene Masigli acting for France.
The agreement OF last March, which
was approved In principle and then
failed when the diplomats attempted
to work out the details has been drop
ped and an entirely new method OF
approach has been adopted. The
French thesis of the right to replace
superannuated naval units remains UNI
changed.
A change in Germany's program OF
replacing old cruisers with pocket bat
tleships and an agreement by Ger
many to build no more pocket battle
ships for the duration Of the present
naval treaty agreements would, it ID
said here, make 1t easier for France
to make concessions.

Thus far, the police have been unable
to determine whether Solomon was
fired upon by a passenger or by some
one outside of the car. From the dag
onal course followed by the bullet, they
pointed out, the slayer could have been
either in the machine or beside it.
The fact that Solomon's shirt was
torn, and several buttons from 1t were
stFewn about the floor of the taxi gave
rise to the theory that the hickman
may have been shot in a hand-to-hand

On the other hand, 1t was pointed
out that the torn shirt may have been
the result of the dying mans battle for
breath. Victims of heart attacks often
tear their clothing in their efforts to
ward OF death.
In Solomons pockets were two 81
bills and a quantity of change was
scattered about the floor causing the
police to believe that robbery may have
been the motive for the killing.
