GOVERNMENT Bond
ISSUES ARE LOWER.
New U. S. Treasury Financ-
Ing, Expected Monday, Af-
fects investments.
BY #. H. RICHARDSON.


NEW YORK, April 20.-Bonds pur
sued an erratic course today in trading
of moderate proportions.
United States Government issues
started off with brief rally, which dis
appeared in the face of Wall Streets
expectation of new Treasury financing,
10 pe announced Monday, of s30o,000,-
600 to $500, 100000. Opinions differed
In the Street as to the offering rate
Those inclined to believe in a continued
cheap-money market thought that the
amount could be raised with 6-month
to 12-month notes carrying coupons of
1s to ia per cent. Others were in
clined to favor y per cent for the six
month notes and per cent for the one
year descriptions.
At any rate these coupons are con-
siderably larger than the present yields
on the last issue of Treasury notes, and
some offerings of Governments were
brought into the market today as a re-
suit.
The more speculative rails and in
dustrials were somewhat higher. The
car-loading report. showing increases Of
loading in miscellaneous freight and
merchandise in less-than-carload lots,
helped sentiment. Rail stocks rallied
sharply and most carrier bonds reflect
ed this movement.

at Fairfax Station.
Special Dispatch to Ths Star

special DlSpatCh TO lES Stdr.
FAIRFAX STATION, Va. January 8.
-Foiled by the aIertness Of neighbor,
robbers, who last night attempted to
loot the safe of the Fairfax Station Post
Office, secured only about $40 in stamps
and coins before they were forced to flee.
The outer portion Of the heavy double
safe was blown to shreds by charge
of nitro-glycerin, but the inner com
partment containing the money resisted
the explosion. The blast was timed to
coincide with the passing Of two freight
trains, which hid the noise from every
one except O. w Chesley whose home
is opposite the store of James Wycoff,
in which the post Office is located. Ches-
leys daughter is acting poStmistress.
Awakened suddenly about 1880 am.
by the explosion, Chesley fired his re-
volver to awaken other residents. He
then phoned for Sheriff E. P. Kirby.
Chesley says at least two men fled at
the sound of his revolver. They had
parked their sedan with Maryland L.
cense plates, several hundred yards from
the store with the wheels resting In a
ditch. The men could not start it and,
after working on it a few minutes, aban-
doned it and fed on foot.
In the car Sheriff Kirby found an
overcoat. Maryland and Washington
police were notified.

TWO BOYS CONFESS
BURNING 8 TO DEATH
Nailed Doors and Windows So Vic
tins Couldn't Escape,
Sheriff Says.

By the Associated Press.
GALLIPOLIS, Ohio, January S.
Sheriff Charles Swanson announced to-
day that two inmates of the Boys In
dustrial School at Lancaster confessed
they made a funeral pyre last Spring
out of Gallia County log cabin, burn
ing eight persons to death.
Revenge was the motive, Swanson
said, adding that the boys confessed be-
cause of stricken conscienceS.
The boys were Albert Reymer OF
Gallipois and Ellsworth Mowyer OF
Bucyrus. The cabin was occupied by
James White 40, He and seven of mis-
children died in the flames.
Before setting fire to the cabin. the
youths said, they nailed up the doors
and windows so there would be no
escape for the victims.
The sheriff said Reymer and Mower
admitted the crime to himself and
Assistant Supt. Lamb when they Wis
tied the youths at the institution.
Reymer said he burned the family
to death as a reprisal against White.
with whom he had fought a short time
before the father moved to the cabin.
Reymer also held a grudge against him,
he said.
Occupants Cremated.
The tragedy occurred last April 7.
The log house was only a shoulder
ing ruin when discovered and its occu-
pants were practically cremated.
The remains of White and his chill
dren, who ranged in age from 7 to 81.
were put In receptacle no larger than
shoe box, and buried in a single grave
While recovering from burns, George,
the only survivor, told officers his father
died trying to carry twin girls to safety.
He said the cabin walls collapsed and
pinned White in the flames, with one
girl under each arm.

the big suite, which has a number
of large reception rooms, will be ocCu-
pied Friday morning.
On Thursday night Bruce will be
one of the hosts at big dinner for
Ritchie in Baltimore. Democratic
leaders are watching this dinner with
great interest as it may be the scene
of the official launching of the Ritchie
campaign.

last National Committee meeting into
an uproar with certain prohibition pro-
posals, arrives in Washington late today
He is expected again to bring up pro-
hibition.

The contest for a convention CITY.
showed aside temporarily in pre-com
mittee talk, apparently has borrowed
down to a fight between four cities,
Chicago, Kansas City, San Francisco
and Atlantic City. Chicago and At
lantic City were pitted against each
other for the Republican convention
only a few weeks ago, Chicago winning
overwhelmingly.
A very definite campaign for Kansas
City as the convention place has been
started within the past week. The
trength Of the movement, however, Is
as yet unmeasured.

Bar Opposes Reduction.
brief, summarizing current argu-
mentS against the proposed salary cuts
for Federal employees in general, is be-
ing mailed today by the Federal Bar
Association to the President, the cabi-
net, members of Congress and mem
bers of the association.
William R. Valance, president of the
legal body said this morning that the
Federal Bar Association hopes in this
governmental authorities and the
American people and combat proposed
legislation to reduce Federal salaries
in the interest of economy.
Reasons against salary slashes are
grouped into seven sections, which pre-
sent the following points:
An exaggerated idea" of the extent
of recent salary increases appears to
exist in some quarters, although pres
ent salaries have been reached only by
slow processes since 1870 and at no
time have reached salary rates paid for
similar services in commercial fields
For several years the provisions OF the
classification act authorizing promotions
based on higher efficiency ratings have
been imperative due to failure of Con-
gress to appropriate the necessary funds.
Salary cuts would cause fear and un-
certainty of income, thereby decreasing
purchases of manufactured products
and retarding recovery from the eco
nomiC depression. This decrease in
purchases would be in excess OF an
amount justified by the amount OF the
salary cut.
If salaries are cut, Federal employees
will have difficulty meeting their fixed
obligations. and in many instances will
be unable to make their payments, with
resulting loss of their homes or other
purchases, which would disturb further
the already unsettled real estate market.
Many Federal employees are support
ing relatives or friends, who are in
financial difficulties owing to the de-
preston Salary cuts would cause these
dependents to become public charges.
Below "a Per Cent.
The sum which would be saved is in
finitesimal in comparison with the total
expenditures of the Government, being
less than IA per cent OF the total
amount.
The precedent set by the Govern
ment would lead to general wage re-
ductions in commercial enterprises,
thereby reducing the purchasing power
OF all wage earnerS.
Summing up the Federal Bar ASso-
citation makes a plea for thoughtful
consideration of its arguments, and
states that pay cut would amount to
an additional tax on Government en-
ployes, who already are subject to all
existing revenue-produCing legislation
The brief is signed by President VAL
lance, Ralph G.. Cornell, secretary of
the Federal Bar Association, ana
Charles w. Flora, chairman of the as
sociation's Committee on Professional
Standards

PARIS ASKS DELAY

Postponement OF Conference
Until Spring Is Urged
on England.

BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS. France. January 5.-Post-
ponement of the Lausanne reparations
conference until Spring is being pro-
posed by France to Great Britain in
secret talks now taking place in Lon

France in these talks is represented by
the permanent head of the Quai
D'Orsay, Philippe Berthelot.
According to the plans under discus
siop the reparations conference would
besftted into some sort Of an inter-
mission Of the disarmament conference,
The British view is that the disarma-
ment conference should, Of course, meet
as scheduled February 2, and. in har-
mony with the classic procedure Of the
League of Nations annual assembly,
should devote the first phase of the
proceedings to speeches by the dele
gates expoInding each national view
and intended pe.shaps partly for home
consumption.
AS there will be more than so delega-
tionS, this will take several weeks it is
thought. Work will then be begun, Z is
suggested, in commissions, while the
full conference adjourns for month
1t is in this month that the French
are urging that the reparations con-
ference be held. The French and Ger
man elections it is hoped, would
meanwhile be over and a new light
would possibly be obtained on the Amer
ican viewpoint in the problem of war
debts and reparations.
