WALLA WALLA PRISON CELL HOUSE BURNS The Fire is Believed to Have! Been of Incendiary Origin. Walla Walla. Wash. Fire, believed to have been of incendiary origin.: which broke out in the main cell, building of the Washington atnte pen-' itentlnry here, caused a loss estimated at $100,000. ' j Nearly 1000 convicts milled about In an luclosure, adding to the din with their yella, as the Walla Walla tlrei department and prison guards fought the tlames, which .were not discover-J eil until they had gained considerable headway. The. Raines broke out In ventlla- tor shaft of the olnlng room, where 4'n0 men were at dinner. j i Cell doors were thrown open nnd the convicts herded out into a so par ste Inelosure' away from the burning buildings and placed under heavy guard. Company F, Walla Walla na-j tional guard unit, was hastily niubll-, lied and rushed to help guard the turbulent crowd of prisoners. . Tho prison buildings are old and largely of frame construction and burned rapidly. j . Whnt is known ss Siberia, cell houss where the most dangerous crim inals are kept, is at some distance from the main building and had not taken fire, the inmates remaining in their ells. 1 Inspection In the main prison build ing at the state penitentiary showed that It can be repaired easily and will not have to be replaced at heavy cost, as was first feared. GERMANY AGREES TO : MAKE LUMPPAYKENT Berlin. Parker Gilbert, agent gen-p-nl for reparations, with the approv al of the reparations commission and the governments concerned, has sign-t ed an agreement with the German fl- j r.snce . minister. Dr. Relnhold, by which Germany during the third Dawes plan annuity year, ending Aug ust 31, 1927. obligates herself to pay lump sum of 300.000.000 gold marks, in lieu of two supplemental contin gent budgetary contributions of 250, 000.000 marks, each payable by Aug ust 31, 192S. and August St. 1929. To Germany's creditors the agree ment means not only substitution of definite sum for an uncertain con tingency, but the payment of this sum during the present annuity year where otherwise contingent sums are not payable until the neit succeeding year. l)y the arrangement funds avail able for deliveries in kind during the third annuity year will be substan- tiallv tt.f-.'Ai.actrf If. vnlatnin (ti Af. feet of the agreement, Mr. Gilbert says: "The agreement as a whole will contribute substantially to the smooth operation of the financial experts' plan, and Incidentally wilt facilitate Its administration by eliminating fac tors of uncertainty that might other wise be troublesome. The settlement Is further evidence of spirit of friencly accommodation and a new earnest of the goodwill and mutual undemanding lying at the basis of the plan Itsolf." LCNGVIEW PLEA DENIED Interstate Commerce Board Refuses to Divert Through Trains, . Washington, D. C Application of railroads operating between Seattle, Wash., and Poitland, for permission to operate four passenger tralru daily via Longvlew, Wash, was denied by the interstate commerce commission. The proposal to divert the trains to the Ixmgvlew route would impair the safety of train service, Inconvenience the public travel to Kelco, Wc It., and inriisse unnecessarily the cost of transportation, the commission ruled.

With the arrest of flvo men and the recovery of all but $r00 of the $200,000 In securities and unsigned currency, postal Inspectors hre announced they had completely solved the robbery of Union PaclMc ninll car near Rock Springs, Wyo., August J3.

S, RESERVATIONS MAY BE ACCEPTABLE Geneva, Switzerland. An optimistic remark concerning the reservations of the Vnited States in connection with that country's adherence to the world court was made by a prominent dele gate to the conference of world court members which is considering Jhe res ervations, lie said that all the Amer ican reservations would eventually be accepted. This opinion waa expressed after the conference had adjourned, leav ing a committee a! 14 to study the Judicial points raised by the Ameri can conditions with the understand ing that a report be made at a ses sion of the conference prior to tlii doting of the league of nations as-tt-mbly.
