We reply that we are on small

We assure her that she can-and
with that she suddenly astounds our
R-K-O host Mr.. Krebs, by saying
that she will get in touch with us be-

HITLER CONSIDERS
DEBT TALK OFFER
Acceptance Forecast as
Britain Makes Move to
Negotiate.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN. June 23.-Distinctly en-
couraged by the British invitation to
talk over the problem of foreign debts,
German government officials, led by
Chancellor Hitler himself, devoted
their attention today to series of
conferences on the problem. 1t was
evident that eventually Germany will
accept the British proposal. after
policy has been decided upon and
negotiators named.
The British invitation, coming in
the midst of threats to collect interest
on the Dawes and Young loans by i'm
pounding German commercial ac-
counts, was regarded in banking
circles as a distinct victory for DR..
Hjalmar Schacht, president of the
Reichsbank.
Talk at u. S. Embassy.
In discussing the moratorium on
foreign debts service, DR.. Schacht had
said that Germany would retaliate by
cutting off commercial relations with
countries setting up clearing houses,
as has been proposed in Great Britain
and France.
While government and Reichsbank
officials carried on their talks, Kurt
Schmitt, minister of economics, and
Sir Eric Phipps. the British AmbaS-
sador, had a long conversation at the
American embassy, where both were
luncheon guests.
Chancellor Hitler had to cancel an
engagement to address a delegation of
women from the Saar because of the
financial conferences. In his place
went Vice Chancellor Franz Won
Papen, critic of some of the Nazi
policies.
Later in the day Hitler found time
to receive the women at a tea at the
chancellory.
Reply is Delayed.
American banking circles here
adopted a policy of watchful waiting,
emphasizing that the United States is
not likely to take any steps with re-
gard to the moratorium unless it de-
velops that some arrangement is made
whereby American holders of German
BONDS are Disseminated against.
The delay in replying to the British
note was explained by foreign Office
spokeSmen as due to the fact that the
communication was a lengthy affair
involving a number of points which
must be given careful consideration.
TIE foreign Office could not say when
formal acceptance will come, but in
dicated that it may be Monday and
that the German delegation may leave
for London at the same time.

YAKIMA, Wash, June 23.-Human
ashes, cased in silver and scarlet and
certified to be those of the long miss
ing Sarah E. Smith-scollard today
forced attorneys on to new battle
fields in their fight over her fortune,
with new sensations predicted before
the enigma Of her missing millions is
solved.
Protagonists in the dramatic battle
between heirs of Mrs. Scollard, the
famed "Hetty Green of LaSalle
street." and heirs of Reese B. Brown,
Yakima capitalist who allegedly helped
to shield her from Federal agents for
five years, secluded themselves to
avoid questioning.
Mrs. Sadie Brown, widow of the
Yakima man, who produced in court
here yesterday the caSket and papers
purporting to show the remains of
Mrs. Scollard lay hidden on Browns
estate while she was sought all over
the country, fled to Seattle by auto
mobile. Her son Fred retired to the
Brown estate near here.
Sensation Is Promised.
George Rummens, Seattle attorney
representing the Scollard heirs, de-
clared he would make a Sensational
move" next week, but declined to ex-
plain. He refused to give the Oak
land address of Mrs. Katherine Kirk
patrick, aged sister of Mrs. Scollard.

red satin bag, was placed in a Seat
tie vault by RummenS.
The new battle lines of the case are
these: If the court accepts the state
ment that the Secreted ashes were
those of the wealthy eccentric, who
used to carry $500 900 in cash on her
person, her heirs will contend that
Browns estate belongs TO them.
Our position is that Brown had
nothing. We contend that every one
of his investments was made as agent
for Mrs. Smith and that he handled
her money" said Nat U. Brown, one
of those representing the Scollard
interests.
Fortune Put at $4,000, 900.
Mrs. Brown asserts Browns estate,
valued at hundreds of thousands of
dollars, had nothing to do with the
Scollard fortune, which at one time
was estimated by Francis Scollard, her
former husband, at $14,000,0O0. 1t
was scattered about the United States
and Canada in bank vaults and con-
cealed in their Bellingham, Wash,
mansion, in such a way financial and
legal experts have never been able
to determine exactly what became of
all of it. Brown was Mrs. Scollard's
business manager and advisor.
The guardian of Mrs. Scollard's
estate recently filed suit in Seattle
against Browns estate, demanding

Both Claim Sovereignty.
Both Paraguay and Bolivia claim
the sovereignty of the Chaco Boreal
and have argued over it half a CEN
tury.
Fort Ballivian is the last Bolivian
stronghold in the Chaco Boreal and
Paraguay is making superhuman ef-
fort to drive out what it considers the
invaders.
The Paraguayans have been pre-
pairing for the past two months for
the last general offensive. They as
sembled four crack corps of 10000
soldiers each, equipped with 1o5-mil-
limeter guns. This artillery was hauled
over roads laid down by the Bolivians
but later abandoned following retreat.
Although the line of battle has ex-
tended considerably owing to the re-
cent Paraguayan f1anking attempts. it
still adheres generally to the strong
defenses prepared by the Bolivians in
January.

AL cars which emerged late yester-
day and last night and turned toward

by police, headed by Inspector Albert
J.. Headley. The authority of officers
to halt cars and demand a look at

procedure. In each case, the name

permit returned with the warning that

coming.
After number of cars had been

late yesterday filed petition in Fed
eral courts asking dismissal Of the
Reconstruction Finance Corps suit
attempting to determine liability and
to collect from stockholders of the
Central Republic Trust Co. for an
overdue r. F. c. loan.
The suit filed yesterday. claimed
that the Federal court has no juris-

that the suit is based on liability of
stockholders under Illinois statutes.
The r. F. C. suit stated that about
$s0,O00.000 in principal and interest
was unpaid on two loans totaling $780,
100000. The capital stock of the
former State bank was $4,000, 900.
The r. F. c. suit seeks to determine
stockholders liability on that amount.
The petition pointed out that the

than 80 shares and could not have
liability Of $4,000.

little remiss in their opportunities"
Watson appeared voluntarily before
the committee. He said he was net
tied" by statements that he had be-
come involved" in the munitions in
vestigation.
A letter from Du Pont files pre-
viously placed before the committee
quoted former Senator Penrose, Re-
publican. of Pennsylvania as telling
Watson in 1920 to give the Du Points
what they want just as far as you
can without getting into q row."
The Du Points and other chemical
manufacturers were seeking at the
time to get an embargo to protect the
domestic dye industry.
The current inquiry into the Du
Pont Powder Co., which has occupied
four weeks, was concluded yesterday
with evidence that the concern made
$228, $1,000 profits from 1915 to
1918, inclusive.
1t showed the profits were left, after
Federal taxes had been paid. from a
business amounting to LIST ,000, 900.
Testimony also was presented that
Alfred I. du Pont, large stockholder
in the powder company, had a gross
income of $29, $50, 900 between 1920
and 1926, but paid no income tax be-
cause Of losses, largely through q
Nemours Trading Co. These losses
Offset his income, so that he had no
taxable income left.
Had to Sell Senators.
On the matter Of chemical tariffs,
letters from Du Pont officials spoke
Of having had to sell the Republican
Senators who don't know anything
about it."
A letter from Carpenter, former
company vice president, to Irenee
du Pont, introduced yesterday, brought
in the names of the then Senators
Frelinghuysen Of New Jersey, Watson
and Henry P. Fletcher, now chairman
of the Republican National Committee
1t suggested the establishment Of
Washington office by the Du Points as
a hiding place for the legislation
II necessary and as a contact point
for sales to the Government. Car
penter said he thought a stenographic
error had changed "hiving place" to
hiding place"
1t says hiding place." Irenee du
Pont interrupted, "and we can't 60
beyond that"
The letter, too, said Watson criti-
cized Du Pont legislative methods as
handled the worst of any corpora
ton in the country" 1t suggested
that Du Pont get in touch" with
someone who could give advice.
