pERLI.V, April 20. (By the Associ
ated Press.) While the German cabi
net has not yet Indicated the nature
of Its reply to the reparation com
mission's demand that the German
gold reserve be transferred to some
point in the occupied zone. President
Havenstein of the Reichsbank and the
financial writers summarily reject the
proposition.
They take the ground that the gold
la not only the property of a private
bank, but that its removal from Ber
lin under the conditions named would
result in the collapse of German cur
rency at home and abroad.
?he experts assert that such a pro
ceeding would work havoc with Ger
man economic interests and promptly
result in an advance of all commodi
ties to fabulous prices. i
('The Impossible Is impossible: that
t air there is to It." said Herr Haven
tein. The Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zel
tung, owned by Hugo Stinnes, says
that once the gold reserve is out
aide the confines of the Reichsbank's
vaults and placed under entente con
trol In the occupied sone its ultimate
seizure would become a simple matter.
This newspaper estimates the vol
nriie of German currency held abroad
at 20.000,000.000 marks, and saya that
foreign demands on Germany of all
kinds. total 95,000.000.000 marks. The
value of the present gold reserve of
1.090.000.000 marks is computed at
representing 18 per cent of Germany's
current issue.
TAP SETTLEMENT PREDICTED
London Daily Telegraph Says Prob-
lem Will Be Solved.
LONDON, April 20. The Daily
Telegraph, discussing the week-end
reparations meeting of Mr. Lloyd
George and M. Briand says:
'Tho premiers may be able to find
time " to exchange views on othe
topics, one of -which is the unfortun
ate misunderstanding regarding Tap
"The supreme council will have to
f'qd a way out that will satisfy
America." continues the paper. The
Japanese naturally think that the
supreme council ought to stand by
its own decision but they have no
Inducement to drift into a serious
quarrel with the United Slates over
this fragment of rock and sand in
the eastern seas.
"France, with no direct Interest in
the matter and o strong sympathy
with President Harding's attack on
the league of nations, will throw her
weight on the side of the western
reoublic. We shall probably use our
influence with Japan and a satisfac
tory solution may be expected."
The paper further disclaims any
British desire to use the Mesopotamia
mandate to the detriment of the
L'O-lt d States.

SPOKANE, 'Wash.. April 20. (Spe

Jay E. Hough, former bond broker, on
trial in superior court here charged
with first degree forgery, sprang a
surprise by calling to the witness
stand Mrs. Ruth Milholland. widow
of the late John B. Milholland,
Hough's late partner. Mrs. Milholland
came from Pittsburg, Pa., to testify.
She went to Pittsburg shortly after
her hushRn4l dnmmiti.il ii1iIHa l.et
January following Hough's purported
confession to authorities.
Mrs. Muholland. in t.tlvlrvir r.
futed testimony of defense witnesses
alleged to be deamatarv tn t)i. phor.
acter of Milholland. Especially d'd
she deny testimony of lira Charles
P. Lund concerning an alleged attack
by Milholland unnn hifl wifa ut U n v-

Teei Bonds Held Forged.
Hough is being tried for the alleged
forgery of 100 J1000 bonds of the Teel
irrigation district, Echo, Or. The de
funct f'rra of Milholland & Hough is
declared to have defrauded James F.
Callahan, wealthy North Idaho mine
owner, of upwards of $400,000 through
the sale to him of forged securities.
The plea of the defendant Hough is
that he signed the bonds only after
Milholland had threatened his life.
On the stand yesterday Hough as
serted that Milholland had threatened
to kill either him, Mrs. Hough or
Hough's young son "if I opened my
mouth."
The case is expected to be in the
hands of the jury by the latter part
of this week. .
Newport Man Called.
D. F. Baker, former secretary of the
port ct Newport, a state's witness who
testified concerning the port of New
port bond forgeries, was recalled to
the stand today by the state and ad
mitted that be assisted the firm of
Milholland & Hough in securing the
Teel bond issue and that he received
as part payment for his services about
3800 from Milholland & Hough.
When on the stand last week Mr.
Baker proved to be an unsatisfactory
witness for the state. Baker was re.
called today to show he is a hostile
witness and friendly to the defenss.
9500 Declared Yet Dae.
In telling of payments made to him
for his services tn obtaining the Teel
bond Issue, Baker said that he still
had H00 coming to him. He admitted
that he had also written a letter to
Milholland & Hough asking them to
pay him an additional $500. Baker
explained this by saying he had not
been paM) in full the amount agreed
upon.
-Didn't you also lielp Milholland
& Hough obtain the port of Newport
tiond issues -when other bond houses
had places better bids-?" asked Spe
cial Prosecutor Tustin.
"The bids, were advertised all over
the country and Milholland & Hough
obtained the bonds because they were
the lowest bidders," replied Baker.
A state's witness, Carl S. Kelty of
the Lumbermens bank of Portland,
testified during the state's direct case
that the bid of his bank for the New
port bonds was lower than that of
Milholland & Hough.
