DECISION
E
Removal of Troops To Be
Completed By First
of Next Year ,
THE HAGUS, Aug. 13. 4A
Complete evacuation of the Rhineland
before Christmas was today practi
cally decided upon at meeting of the
principal delegates of Cermany, Great
Britain, France and Belgium to The
Hague reparations conference.
Foreign Minister Guatav St rose
mann of Germany announced on leav
ing the meeting "we are much nearer
to a final settlement."
The British delegation stated that
the date for complete evacuation
would be given out after . premier
Brland of Franca bad had an oppor
tunity to consult his military advis
ers. Dates Decided
Since only the date for completion
of the evacuation is In question, it is
assumed that the date for begin oiuat
evacuation has already been decided.
The evacuation is expected to begin
not later than Sept. 1.
The delegates, leaving the confer
ence halls at The Hague, held their
meeting in private in the nearby town
of fcjoheveningen.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug.
1.8 C43) The crest statesmen of six
powers this afternoon attempted to
reach a compromise on disputed pro
visions of the Young plan in the pri
vacy of their hotel apartments.
while the financial experts of the
conference attempted to break tbe
deadlock between Great Britain and
her allies over British demands for
increased share of Gorman repara
tions, the heads of the French, Brit
inn, Belgian and German delegations
met to talk over the date for evacua
tion of the Rhineland.
Officially, no dates have been even
mention! yet, but the chiefs of the
delegations carefully consulted tbeii
military advisers betore beginning dis
cussion this ufternoon.
Gossip at The Hague persistently
mentions Christmas aa the date on
which tbe Germana will be able to
celebrate tbe final freedom of their
territory from foreign occupation.
Better progress toward an under
standing on evacuation of the Rhine
land has been all along reported frou.
the political committee than on the
division of reparations from the fi
nancial committee. But important pro
posals in the spirit of compromise on
the financial deadlock are expected
from France, Belgium and Italy.

This Waste
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-
Henry Ford, bb the man most respon
sible, has been asked by Borough
President Ha f Try of ljueens to help
solve the problem of disposing of
abandoned cars. Professing to see a
situation which In time will tax the
resources of the nation for Ita elim
ination, Mr. Hurvey requested Mr.
Ford to lend his automotive genius
to abatinz the nuisances of streets
and vacant lota littered with discarded
automobiles, a large proportion bis
own product.
'We have Tet in find on effective
method to combat thia frankenstein
monster," Mr. Harvey wrote. "You
have personal kuowledge of th con
ditions caused In most of the nacion'a
towns and cities by the promiscuous
discarding of old cars.
"As the most nroHfio nroducar of
automotive equipment in the world 1
think your company should bear a
large part of the responsibility for
the elimination of the abandoned car
problem."

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 18. OW
Reinforcements from every city police
precinct here were hastily thrown in
to action today, armed witn shotguns
and tear bo tuba, before a new burst
ef rioting in the street car strike waa
quelled. .
At least three persons were shot
but not dangerously wounded during
the mob action. The city ball was
stormed, members of tbe commission
slugged and a doxen policemen over-
f lowered before the howling and hiss
ng demonstrators could be forced
from the building.
Bedlam broke loose in the council
chamber when E. F. Foster, spokes
man of a union committee presented
a petition reported sigued by 60,000
persons demanding that the city ordi
nance regulating jitney operation be
revoked.
The meeting became auch a wild
demonstration that Acting Mayor
Walmsley adjourned the session. The
council members were then set upon
and struck with fists before the police
were abie to rescue them.
Forced from the building hundreds
of men and women were repulsed In
another attempt to storm the city
hall. The rioters then made sporadic
attempts at wrecking atreet cars and
slugging non-union operators.
During the pandemonium of shouts,
booes, fist flying and shots in the
building a dozen policemen were as
saulted by the mob.
Captain Henry Nelson of the police
department, was set upon and stamp
ed and beaten about the head before
other officers could stop the mob
action.
With the city commissioners safe
ly in their off ice a, Detective Fred
Williams jumped on a counter In
the corridur with leveled guns and
succeeded in quieting the enraged
crowd fur a time. Miss Ida Selfers, a
school teacher, mounted a platform
and addressed the rioters In a calm
voice and persuaded many to leave the
building.

CITY COUNCIL
Conditions In Outskirts of
Eugene Will Be
Investigated .
A complete survey of the sewer
situation In the outskirts of the city
of Eugene to be made by the sewer
committee, including A. A. Re id,
chairman, Fred E. Lamb and George
W. Monroe, was authorized by the
city council at Ita meeting Monday
evening.
It was pointed out In a communi
cation from 1L W. Rundlett, city
building inspector, that in several
cases, notably between Twenty-sec
ond and Twenty-fourth avenues near
Melroaa addition on the edge of the
city, persons were connecting private
sewers with the city system where
permission had been granted, and
where In some cases had actually been
refused.
Conditions Cited
Councilman Raid described the sew-
age disposal in tne vicinity or Eigh
teenth avenue west as "a terrible
condition, where he said sewage waa
aeepina just on the edge of the city
through lack of connections. These
connections were refused owing to
the small si Be of the sewer there, he
said, but the sanitary aspecta result
ing had not been satisfactory.
Mayor H. E. Wilder declared that
1b cases where connections had been
made where permission had been re
fused, as between Twenty-second and
Twenty-foiii'th avenues, It waa his
opinion that they should one and all
be disconnected.
"These people are living outside the
city, yet getting all the advantages of
residence Inside tbe city without pay
ing taxes," said Mayor Wilder, "If
they want the benefits of the city
they should ask to have their property
added to the city and the city limits
extended.
"In this connection we should try
to get the cooperation of the water
board not to extend lirht and water
aervlce outaide the city limits."
Mr. Reld pointed out that In many
Instances such aa the Eighteenth ave
nue vicinity, the request to connect
with the aewera had been accompanied
by an expressed willingness to pay
for tha service. ' It was also brought
out that In the vicinity of Polk atreet
the council had permitted a connec
tion to be made from outside the city.
