PORTLAND, Mar. 7. John H. Ka-i
wncinskl, alias John Bruno, brought
here last night from Seattle,' where he
as arrested Saturday for the alleged
murder of Harry Pawluk, admitted to
district Attorney Walter H. Evans
that he had killed Pawluk but Insisted
the deed had been done in self defense,
"'cording to Evans.
Kawaoinskl, snld Evans, declared
the killing occurred on a road outside
the city where the body wan found,
whi(; Kawacinskl, Pawluk and a wom
an of Pawluk's acquaintance were
walking to a road house. He saW1 he

it was announced tonight.
Sir. Lloyd George's reply to the
Germans had become known 'in a
general way outside before he left
the conference hall and he was (loud
ly cheered as he dorarted to Downlnfi
st:"eet.
l)r. Simons, in presenting the Ger
man viewpoint at tho conference said
that in order to prove that they wish
ed to Batisfy tho Paris demands, tho
Germans were prepared to pay tho
fixed aiinuties provided for the. first
five years, and give full equivalent
for the twelve per cent tax on exports,
which they did not think practicable.
He added:
"We know very well that such tre-
mendotis payments only are possible
if a largo part of them are financed
by a loan. But wo can make the
proposal only on" one understanding:
Upper Silesia, by virtue of the pleb
iscite, will remain with Germany and
the restrictions Imposed upon us In
the commerce of the world shall be
abolished."
Germany would do her best to co
operate with the allies, Dr. Simons
declared and then would establish
as soon as possible a comprehensive
plan for reparations for a period of
30 years.' If, however, the allies In
sisted upon their demands that Ger-
many make a fixed total offer
It
would be'necessary to ask a week's
delay in order to consult personally
with the cabinet.
