JURGES OF CUBS
WOUNDED BY WOMAN
shortstop and Pretty Assailant
Taken to Hospital-Condi-
ton Not Serious.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July civilian Jurges,
star shortstop for the Chicago Cubs,
narrowly escaped death today when
a Young woman came to his room,
shot him twice and then turned the
gun on herself. Neither was seriously
wounded.
The woman, pretty brunette, gave
her name as Miss Violet Valli of Chi
cago. She gave her occupation as a
cashier in a Northside store. She re-
fused to say why she shot Jurges.
The police said she threatened to
shoot Jurges and in the struggle for the
gun Jurges was shot in the right side
and left hand and Miss Valli in the
left hand. DR.. John Davis, Cub physi-
clan, said the side wound failed to pene-
trate the vital organs and no bones
we're broken by the hand wound.
The shooting occurred in the Carlos
Hotel, adjacent to Wrigley Field, at
1880 am.
Jurges has been one of the bright
spots in the Cub drive for the National
League pennant. He came to the Cubs
from Reading of the International
League last year, and Manager Rogers
Hornsby labeled him as one OF the
greatest fielding infielders Of years. He
failed to hit much over the 200 mark,
however, and was shipped back to
Reading for more training late in the
season. This season he has been play
ing regularly, fielding smarter than
ever and hitting so points higher than
year ago.
President William L. Veeck of the
Cubs said Jurges' loss would be a heavy
blow to the Cubs, who opened their
home stand against the Eastern in
vasion today. but that he hoped he
would be able to return to the lineup
within a few weeks.

HUGE PREPARATIONS

Allies Now Willing to Settle
With Germany for
$1,0O0,OOO,0 900.

tee decided in 1924 not to name a final
aggregate payment, nor to say how long
Germany must pay. AS accepted its
plan eased' of reparations, and scaled
them up to a standard annual payment
of s5s5,o00, coo within five years.
Another Reduction.
But the question Of final payment
could not be long suppressed, so the
Young commission was appointed in
Geneva in 1923 to say how much and
how long Germany should pay.
Termed a final settlement" the
Young plan peeled another $4,000, ,000,-
600 of the total World War reparations,
naming $26 500, 100000, spread over so
years, and settling all accounts by 1888.
The world economic crisis brought
the next major step in the form of the
Hoover moratorium postponing all in
year ending June 80 of this year.
Then came Lausanne, where the allies
are trying to figure out an answer to
the Hoover moratorium. France and
Great Britain advanced a proposal to
bond reparations at $1,000, ,000,0 900. First
Germany objected, and now Italy in
sists on cancellation.
Dispute Over Payment.
Complicating all this is the dispute
over how much Germany has already
paid. Because of various percentages
and payments in commodities, the fig
ure is in dispute, France asserting that
the allies have received only $5,000,-
100000. Germany says she has hand
ed over more than $4,000, 100000.
Add to this the claim of the United
States last year that only 81 SOC, ,000, 900
had been paid on total allied war debts
of more than $11, ZOO, 900 900, and you
have the factors for the greatest fnan-
cial problem of its kind in history.

the conference, which will be held to-
morrow.
Last night the Conference Bureau
authorized Sir John Simon, British
foreign secretary, to start drafting the
general declaration with which the
work Of the parley will be ended for the
Summer.
Besides the tribute to the Hoover
proposals, the declaration will say that
some of the phases Of the plan require
considerable time for study by the
powers concerned and announcement
o. the points upon which there is vir-
tual agreement. This procedure, pro-
posed by Sir John, was approved by
Ambassador Hugh Gibson Of the United
States and Joseph Paul -Boncour Of
France.

Maxim Litvinov, Soviet Russian
foreign commissar, and Ambassador
Naholny Of Germany, expressed dis

body was found Friday in a hotel
room might have died by his own
hand was dispelled at an autopsy,
it was announced today by DR.. E.

death.
Finding of a bottle partly filled
with alleged liquor on dresser in
the dead mans room caused a be-

drunk ith with poison, but no trace
of any poison was revealed at the
autopsy.
The widow, Mrs. Myrtle Thomson

shortly after death of her husband
was reported, with a sticker which
had been placed on his automobile
parked for two days near the hotel

nouncement was made of the re-
quested resignation of DR.. Howard
DabbS, whose recreational pro-
gram built up the church Sunday
school from to 300 members in
five years.
Church authorities said the
resignation was asked because DR..
Dabbs gave over time of youthful
members to athletic and social
recreations instead of religious
training.
Adherents of the Sunday school
director have proposed to form
their own congregation under
leadership of DR.. Dabbs.
The whole affair started with a
janitor who felt the labor of
cleaning up after young peoples S
parties was too great, DR.. Dabbs
charged today.
He wanted to get out of this
extra work" DR.. Dabbs said. "and
so he started to gather evidence
against us. He found an old
whisky bottle in the washroom
for one thing-but I'm certain
none of our members left it there.
HE also said there were too
many cigaret butts to sweep up,
and that a window was broken
during a party"
These accusations, the young
peoples leader charged, influ-
enced the religious education
committee to start the custer
which has split the congregation
