BERLIN, December 28-A Franco
German tariff war, which for the last
two years had menaced the relations
between the two countries, was avoided
today and France thereby obtained an
important reinforcement of its position
In the Franco American economic con-

Office, and the French Ambassador to
Germany Andre Francois-Poncet, signed
a supplementary trade agreement.
The agreement is temporary, pending

In substance, the new agreement Is
an armistice permitting each govern
ment to denounce individual items Of
the old treaty on short notice without
denouncing the treaty as a whole. Ger
many also gives France concession
and favors French tourist traffic by
permitting German citizens visiting in
France to take with them 700 marks

Ohio, like Chicago and New York, has

The business racketeer," authorities
explain, instead of finding victims in
the underworld, often collects upward

legitimate businesses to join and pay

Dry Cleaners Favored.
Most Of the racket killings in Ohio,
so far have been connected with liquor,
gambling or vice, but the authorities
are fearful that capital crimes soon
may spread to dry cleaning, barbsring
and other lines of proper trade.
In Toledo, dry cleaners have been
the favorite victims Of business rack
eteers. There. however. the police be-
lieve the racket is closely linked with
gangsters from st. Louis and Detroit,
engaged in war for control of the
city's beer traffic.
Several slayings in Toledo were cap
ped recently by machine-gun attack
in the downtown section, when bullets
aimed by rivals at an alleged racketeer
missed him, but killed Miss Louise Bell,
who was riding in his automobile.
Bombs and Bricks Used.
Dynamite bombs have done damage
mounting into the thousands of dollars
in half a dozen dry cleaning plants in
Cleveland. Twice as many bricks have
been thrown through the windows of
Cleveland barber shops.
Several intended victims narrowly
escaped bullets and others have been
attacked and beaten.
Hence the barricades s-shutter- like
