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.
At present, the Northern Pacific, the
Great Northern and The Oregon-Wash-lnglon
railroads pool their pansenger
service between Scuttle nnd Portland,
and operate five trains l:iily In each
direction via Kelso ovr the line of

$r00 of the $200,000 In securities and

hre announced they had completely
solved the robbery of Union PaclMc

Postal inspector linus of Denver,
who has been working on the robbery
"since a little before it happened"
and who recovered the loot burl 1 In !
a chicken house 14 miles southeast of
here, said discrepancies in the stories
told by Madignn first drew suspicion
to him, In spite of the tact that he
was found bound in the mall car.
The sacks of mall, Imus said, wtr.
thrown from the car at a point previ
ously agreed upon between Madlgan
and Kearns. Kearns and Rrad'ord
were waiting with an automobile and
the sacks were thrown into the ma
chine and brought to this city, where

U. 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.
Whether it ia excessively
optimistic only the future can dis
close, but certainly the speeches at
the closing session produced gener
al impression that the conference will

the court.
