TEXT NOT GIVEN OUT Reichstag Is Not to Know Contents of Communication Until Today; . Simons Explains "Status." 1 BERLTN, April 13. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The ultimate total Indemnity which Germany agrees to pay the allies is 100,000,000.000 gold marks ($30,000,000,000), as against 126.000,000,000 ($56,000,000,000). de nanded by the allies in their Paris terms. This has been positively stated by those close to the government, al though the German counter-proposals have not been made public here. Dr. Simons, the foreign secretary, did not present the new proposals to the reichstag today because of an understanding .with the American em bassy and for the additional reason that the note to President Harding suggests that he feel free to query back for further information or the elucidation of any point not clear, be fore submitting the note to the entente. The Germans suggested making the annuities in the payment of the reparations flexible, dependent upon the recovery of German industries. An international loan was suggested, to be floated immediately for the pur pose of placing ready cash at the disposal of the entente, but no sum Is named. Germany expressed her willingness to pledge the customs revenues as guaranteed and further offered to deliver manufactured articles to the allies with the understanding that Germany will pay the producers and get credit on the indemnities. Ger many also offered immediate partici pation in the work of restoration In the devastated areas; labor and ma terials to be eupplied by Germany and credited against the indemnl . ties. No suggestion was made of Ger many's willingness to assume the Indebtedness of the allied powers to the United States. County Conamissloners Promise to Investigate as Result of Com- 4 plaints of Residents. Spooning in automobiles along the county highways will be investigated and stopped as soon as possible, de cided the county commissioners yes terday. Formal complaints from resi dents along the Humphreys and Hew itt boulevards were presented to the commissioners yesterday by H. M. Eas terly, who said that residents along other boulevards bad also protested against Improper conduct of persons in automobiles. Mr. Esterly asked that action be taken to stop the spooners, who often park along the roads in the afternoons as well as in the evenings. He said that he started some time ago to take the numbers of automobile licenses and that in some cases he had the names of the owners of the cars. He urged that "this disgraceful practice' be stopped at once. . The sheriffs office will co-operate with the office of the district attorney and the commissioners by patrolling some of the roads, according to pres ent plans, and taking the numbers of machines and .attempting to make prosecutions. Mr. Esterly said that the "license numbers which he and other resi dents along the highways had col lected would be available for the officers. Other Ill-Treatment Also Alleged by Wife. 'CAPTIVE' GASBAG SOUGHT GER3IA5T OTE IS DELATED Course 3Ir. Hughes Will Take Is "ot Yet Indicated. WASHINGTON. D. C, April 25. The only Information received by Secretary . Hughes today concerning the character of Germany's counter proposals regarding reparations was that contained in press dispatches. The communication embodying the proposals, which was handed yester day to Loring Dresel, American high commissioner at Berlin, by Dr. Walter Simons, the German foreign min ister, had not arrived when the sec retary finished his day's work. It was assumed the delay was due to transmission difficulties either on the cables or by wireless. NWhat course Mr. Hughes win take In dealing with the question was not indicated today. It was said, how ever, that until he had studied the counter-proposals carefully the com munication would not be made public unless It hid already been published by Germany or by one of the allies. to whom a copy or summary may have been sent. Diplomatic representatives here be lieved it probable that the secretary would take up the questions involved H directly mith the foreign offices of the allied governments, rather than with their representatives here, in order to expedite negotiations. It was pointed out that the supreme council Is due to meet Saturday and the French are expected to begin their occupation of the Ruhr May 1 in case an agreement is not reached with Germany in the controversy.

" CHICAGO, April 25. Valparaiso university at Valparaiso, Ind., is a hotbed of Bolshevism, communism and other ctilts, and all efforts to thwart this propaganda have failed because of "sinister inside influences," de clared Daniel Russell Hodgdon, presi dent, who today sent his resignation to the trustees. "The stream of propaganda," de clared Dr. Hodgdon, "can be traced to the very heart of the federal gov ernment, so firmly are its protago nists Intrenched.

Poppy's Dorothea, owned by Frank Lynn of Perrydale, and holder of the world's record for a 3-year-old Jer sey, died bere last night.

Dorothea, as she was best known among cattle breeders, weighed 1400 pounds and was exceedingly large for Jerseys. It was said here today that her loss Is one of the greatest that has been sustained by Jersey breeders for many years. NEW TORK. April 25. (Special.) Thumb-worn, blotted leaves of a thick pebble-leather-bound diary rustled in the gloved fingers of Mrs. Helen El wood Stokes as she resumed today her story of life with the gnarled-faced millionaire. There, in that minute record of treasured, trivial things, was her an swer to the army of eavesdropping witnesses who had linked her in mis conduct with the co-respondents. In answer to the tales of abandon, she nolnted a trembling: finger to a crawled entry marking the birth of her child, her fears, the preparations her illness. More at ease than when she first took the stand, Mrs. Stokes still seemed like a young school girl taxed with publicity, with wrongdoing, gig gling nervously, flushing and fidget- ng at a pointed question, but the comparison ends there. Ill-Treatment Is Alleged. In her blue eyes was the Sophisti cation of a woman, and in maturity, that sought and found opportunity to wedge in accusation after accusa tion against the old man not far away, still busily taking notes of her story. "Mr. Stokes did not treat me right," was the way she put it as a gener alization. Later she specified he "starved" her. He brought men into their apartment when she was about to become a mother. He refused to give her a latch-key, "although the cook had one." After the birth of Jimmle, her eldest, she did "get proper food." she said. Whereas Mr. Stakes' witnesses'had described her flitting from apartment house to cafe, artist's studio, the daily record of her activities during this period were summed up in five or six-line entries. Many of them were alike: "Breakfast with Will (Mr. Stokes). "Lunch with Dr. and Mrs. Hend ricks. "Dinner with (names of friends). "Retired at eight. "Will went out." In the months preceding the birth Two Similar Propositions Are In troduced in House Informal Conference Slated. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 25. Progress on the initial administration peace policy to end the state of war by "resolution of congress was made today in both branches of congress. In the senate, the Knox peace reso lution, revised in minor detail, was reported favorably by the foreign re lations committee, and announcement was made by Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts, republican leader, that It would be called up tomorrow. Two similar resolutions, dealing separately with Germany and Aus tria, were introduced in the house by Chairman Porter of the foreign af fairs committee, who announced they would not be taken up until after the senate acts on the Knox measure. Although . the senate is to begin formal consideration tomorrow of the Knox resolution, it was not certain tonight that actual debate would start before Wednesday. An informal conference tomorrow between Senator Underwood of Ala bama, democratic leader, and minor ity members of the foreign rela tions committee, with a few other prominent democratic senators, was planned to discuss procedure. Senator Underwood said he ex pected democratic action would be similar to that with regard to . the first Knox resolution, which was ve toed by former President Wilson. That senate debate would consume only a few days wa.s predicted by re- pubflcan and democratic leaders. A final vote this week was regarded possible. ' The final draft of the Knox resolu tion reported today differed little from Senator Knox's original me as ure. It would repeal the resolutions declaring a state of war with Ger many and Austria, reserve all Amer lean rights and privileges under the treaties of Versailles and Trianon, and hold, subject to future disposi- ion, the property of enemy aliens. The committee vote on reporting the Knox ' resolution was -9 to 2, all republicans present favoring and the only two democrats present opposing it. Other democratic committee mem bers were given the privilege of re cording their opposition. As distinguished from the senate measure, the Porter resolutions would declare the state of war at an end. ut without repeal of the war reso lutions. Representative Porter ex plained it was "unnecessary and per haps unwise" t6 repeat the war reso lutions because such action "might be construed as a disavowal of the war." EXPLORER'S WIFE FREED (Concluded on Page 2, Column 3.) Mrs. Alfred Marshall Charges Scientist Deserted Her. CHICAGO, April 23. Mrs. Alfred Marshall, wife of the Arctic explorer. today was granted a divorce on the grounds of desertion. Marshall claimed to have been the first white man to cross Labrador from south to north. Foreign Debt Is Reported to Hae Been Reduced 117,000,000 Pounds Up to March 31. LONDON, April 23. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Austen Chamberlain ex-chancellor Of the exchequer, tak ing the place of the present chancel lor. Sir Robert S. Home, presented the budget In the house of commons to day. Its leading feature, removal of the excess profits duty, was an nounced some time ago. The chan cellor's estimates of revenue and ex penditure of a year ago have been borne out with remarkable accuracy, a surplus of 230,500,000 ($1,120,230,- 000), only about 4,000,000 less than the estimated surplus, being recorded. N additional taxation was proposed and there will be no further reduction of taxation in the current year. The chief points are removal of the surtax on cigars and replacement of the ex isting fixed duty of seven shillings and an ad valorem duty of 33 1-3 per cent o sparkling wines by a specific duty of 15 shillings a gallon. The corporation profits tax proved to be a disappointment, but the chan cellor .hoped the tax would justify itself the coming year. The chancellor characterized the last year as one of the most re markable in England's history, and declared that the financial results were satisfactory. The bouse was chiefly interested in details concerning debt reductions, especially the announcement that the debt to the United States had been re duced by 75,000,000 during the last year and that interest on the war debt to . the United States must be provided for next year. The debt to Canada had been re duced by 20,000,000 in the year, while all debts to Japan, Spain, Argentina, Uruguay and Holland had been wiped out. He announced that in two years the external debt bad been reduced by 203,000.000, and said the remain ing 5 per cent five-year notes ma turing at New .York in November amounting to $11,000,000, would be paid off. The actual receipts for last year, Mr. Chamberlain said, were 1,425,900, 000, while the national expenditure was 1,195,428,000. The total amount applied to reduction of the national debt was 259,500,000. The foreign debt was reduced by 117,000,000 to 1,161,560,000 on March 31. The ordinary expenditure for 1921 22, Mr. Chamberlain declared, would be 974,023,000, while ordinary re ceipts, with dropping of .the excess profits duty and two othtr small changes, would be 1,053.150,000, leav ing a surplus of 84,127.000. He estimated the total sum avail able .for debt redemption .from the surplus this year would be 103, 000,000. Mr. Chamberlain indicated the gov ernment wa3 planning for payment of interest of the debt to the United States. In dealing with the subject of the national debt, he said that interest on the debt amounting to more than 40,000,000 annually was among the new items to be provided for next year.

WASHINGTON, D. C. April 25. Mail robbers got away with approx imately $6,000,000 last year, of which some 13.000,000 has been recovered, Postmater-GeneraI Hays said today In discussing steps taken to remedy this "absolutely intolerable" condi tion. "It must and will be stopped," he said', adding that in addition to the distribution of arms to postal em ployee the standard reward of 15000 to any employe of the department who brought in a mail robber bad been extended to Include the general IN A WAT THERE TILL BE A REHEARING OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN RATE CASE.

Lines tend Ing toward a nation-wide strike on May 1 of more than 175,000 unionize marine engineers, firemen and sea men. were closely drawn here today whenthe unions refused to conside a new contract proposed by the own era carrying wage cuts averaging 2 to 35 per cent. The engineers, through their na tional president, William R. Ryan, followed their refusal by Issuing strike order effective that date If th cut is put into effect. The fircme Land seamen, through Andrew Furu seth. president of the International Seamen's union, said their men had voted on the ' matter and they, too, would quit work if the wage cut was made effective. Overseas and coast wise American ships on the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Mexico will be in volved unless the differences are ad Justed. Benson Calls Conference. At the close of the conferences to day it was announced that Admiral Benson, chairman of the United State shipping board, had called- a confer ence of representatives of the owners and unions next Wednesday at Wash ington. It was indicated federal in fluence will be used to bring abou an agreement and prevent a strike. The conferences today wero th culmination of a series of meetings between representatives of the unions and the owners. The engineers las week announced a wage cut would not be accepted, and today the decla ration was reiterated. At previous conferences the firemen and seamen insisted that wage questions be made secondard to enforcement of alleged violations of the La Follette law, abolishment of the shipping board' sea service bureau and preference in employment of union men. Union Demand Refused. The answer of the owners today was that the La Follette seamen's law was a federal statute, and the sea service bureau was a governmen agency. It was further stated that this bureau was furnishing American ships with seamen, 80 per cent of whom were American citizens, while the seamen's unions were furnishing a negligible percentage of Americans. Preference in employment of union men was declared to be discrimination against Americans and the demands were refused. As a result of the refusal, Mr, Furusetb c.nd his associates left the meeting and declared that the men would refuse to work after May 1 if the wage reduction was put into ef fect. Ships on the Great lakes and tugs, barges and other craft employed in harbor transportation would not be affected by the strike, union leaders said, as they are under separate con tracts. A tie-up of deep-sea and coastwise ships would be felt by sev eral hundred thousand men. Thousands of Ships Affected. Recent reports of American ship ping show that the United States shipping board owns 1773 ocean going ships of 7,790.736 gross tons the majority in the hands of private operators. In addition there are 1917 ships of 5,125,273 gross tons owned by private companies. Of these ap proximately 50 per cent of the ship ping board tonnage and 25 per cent of the privately owned ships, are now tied up, due, the owners and oper ators said, to a lack of cargo. American flag passenger vessels which possibly would be affected by a strike Include those of the Inter national Mercantile Marine, Hamburg and Antwerp service; the United States Mail Steamship company and United American lines in the Euro pean trade and all coastwise lines operated on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and between cities on the At lantic and Gulf coasts.
