BE DISARMED
Aliied Terms Likely Accepted,
. But Berlin Wary of England
and Fears France Will In
ade Ruhr Without Cause
Want Poles Out of Silesa.
BERLIN, May 10. (l!y Associated
Press.) Acceptance of the allied ulti
matum relative to reparations was ex
pected in the reichstag today when
that body convoncd. The centrists and
the majority socialists, as a result oC
their conference yesterday were be
lieved to have definitely aligned them
selves in favor of yielding to the en
tente demands. It seemed yesterday
that there was competition among the
various parties for first place In the
assenting column.
The majority socialists adopted a
resolution yesterday,, pledging their
support to every sincere effort to
carry out the terms presented at Lon
don, in view of tho military coercion
and violence with which Germany is
threatened.
The resolution declared acceptance
of the ultimatum would fall of its real
purpose if Bavaria did not make an
unequivocal declaration that she was
prepared to disarm and disband her
civilian guards by June 30.
Leading democratic deputies declar
ed yesterday that acceptance of the
ultimatum would be the most effective
way of counteracting French aspira
tions and contended that a sincere ef
fort on the part of Germany to carry
out tho conditions of tho ultimatum
would strengthen her case in the Unit
ed States and England.
There is a probability that the retir
ing Fehrenbach cabinet, which is at
present functioning only as an acting
ministry, may accept officially the
London ultimatum for Germany.
"If tho Poles steal Upper Silesia anil
tlie French invade the Ruhr district,
Germany will be so completely weak
ened that sho will be unabio to carry
out the reparation conditions," declar
ed Theodore Wolff, editor of the Tago
blatt yesterday in an editorial.
"We are only too familiar with the
vacillating soul of Lloyd George," said
Dr. Wolff In discussing the British
prime minister's speech at Maidstone,
England, Saturday, "and are quite
aware that rhetorical commonplaces
do not always definitely bind him. We
must admit, however that if Germany
balks in the present situation, none of
the allies will raise a hand in her be
half in Upper Silesia."
Dr. Wolff demanded tangible guar
antees that Germany's acceptance of
the ultimatum would not be followed
by-arbitrary invasion of the Ttnhr re
gion by the French at some later duto
and on some flimsy pretext. .'

found dead in the rear of a gar
age In the Hack Hay district to
day. He had been shot over the
left eye. An automatic pistol lay
nearby. The medical examina
tion indicated suicide. The body
bore only the forehead wound
although at least two shots were
fired. This fact, together with
the disturbed condition of the
ground nearby led to a more thor
ough investigation tnan usual.
Captain McGilvary who was

ago, and who had been decorated
with the Italian war cross for
bravery, entered the commercial
aviation field in New England

TOKIO, April 12. (Delayed). The
Far Eastern republic of Siberia needs
a loan of $250,000,000 Innokenty Kosh
evnlkoff, vice minister for foreign af
fairs recently told newspaper men at
Vladivostok, in referring to the pro
jected visit of an economic mission
from the Chita government to the
United States.
He declared only a small part of the
above loan need be in cash, the re
mainder taking the form of agricultur
al machinery and railroad supplies
Siberia's supreme need was farming
implements and naturally these sup
plies would be purchased from the
country furnishing the needed credit,
he said.
As a guarantee the Chita govern
ment would offer the government
owned share of the royalties on con
cessions In timber, gold, Iron, fisheries
and other natural resources.
Tho vice minister added:
"The primary object of the visit is
to explain to the American people
through such channels as the Amer
ican government decides on, the pres
ent conditions and future possibilities
in Siberia. That accomplished it is"
prepared to discuss with corporations
and Individuals credits and conditions
of mutual advantage."

BAR TRUCKS OFF
HIGHWAYS PLEA
OF RAIL CHIEF
Competes With Railroads As
Common Carrier and Sug
gested by Kruttschnitt As
One of Five Remedies
Propoganda Against Rates.
WASHING TON, May 10. The trou
ble with the railroads is excessive op
erating expenses, "an abnormal
amount'' of which Is the cost of labor,
Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
board of the Southern Pacific railroad
declared today before tne senate inter
state commerce committee. Ho was
tlie first witness at the opening of the
congressional investigation into the
whole transportation situation.
Mr. Krulttschnitt suggested five
"remedies" which he said were "easily
applied and productive of great econ
omies."
They are:
"Stop tlie use for common carrier
purposes of highways built with public
moneys, without adequate tolls and
proper regulations.
"Make inland waterways built or
Improved at public expense carry
themselves as to interest on cost and
maintenance by regulating the com
mon carrier trafflce on them and by
imposing adequate tolls.
"Keep the United States govern
ment out of the business of operating
steamships and stop the lavish expen
diture of public money . to provide
coast to coast ocean transportation in
competition with trans-continental
railways.
"Tolls for use of the Panama canal
should bo sufficient to pay interest on
its cost, operating expenses and main
tenance.
"Do not deprive trans-continental
carriers of coast to coast traffic by
inflexibly enforcing a strict long and
short haul clause."
Mr. Krulttschnitt read a prepared
statement which opened with the as
sertion that the freight rates were not
responsible for business depression.
"Widespread propaganda is being
carried on to arouse public sentiment
against present freight rates," the
statement said. "The fact is that even
since the rates have been advanced
the cost of transporting commodities
is far less than the toll taken by the
commission merchant and the retail
er." -
The witness told the committee that
the general deflation and the fall of
prices had caused stagnation of busi
ness. To support his argument that
railroad rates were not responsible he
said that notwithstanding the lowest
ocean tonnage rates in history millions
of tons of shipping here and abroad
were rusting in idleness because there
was such a small demand for goods.
"The percentage of freight charges
to tho average value of commodities
shipping in the early part of 1921," he
added, "is only two-tenths of one per
cent greater than in 191 1.
"The trouble with our railroads has
been intensified by the results of 26
months of an experiment in govern
ment ownership and operation. The
word 'ownership' is used advisedly as
the federal railroad administration
treated the railways ns though they
were absolutely owned by tlie govern
ment and turned them back to their
owners helpless, bound In improvident
agreements in the making of which
their owners had no voice.
"The government having strangled
the railroads into something like
bankruptcy," he concluded, "at last re
moved its hunds and permitted a sud
den Increase in rntes that should have
been gradual .and started at least 12
years ago. We should bear in mind
and circulate widely the president's
epigram 'moro business in government
and less government In business.'"
