July 17 (Associated Press). The reduction of the German Indemnity 60,006.000.000 gold marks from the prasent total of 132.000.000.000 and the i cancellation of the French debt to Eng-ksd is the basis of a solution of the reparations question now be In seriously elseassed by French and Brltlah offl- dais. Although the scheme has not yet officially reached the Br ration Commlr-: slon, members of the latter hare dls- cussed the details. It Is expected the proposed plan will be one of the chief subjects of discussion in the orthcom- Ids; meeting of Premiers Polncare and Lloyd George. The suggested solution has the hearty support of British officials, who have urging its acceptance upon the French officials, it Is announced.

The Utter, so The Associated Press has been 'reliably Informed, Is looking with more sad more favor upon the plan, provided it carries with it a clean-cut pledge of atsistaaee in time of attack and assures Trance the allotment, wholly or In part. ef England's 22 per cent, share of the 'total Indemnity. It Is believed that England is ready to concede virtually all these demands if full acceptance on the part of the. Xrench Government is b- talaed. Th Brltlah decided to push the plan when was definitely determined that the United States was not in a mood to cancellation of the allied Cibt.

it was learned today. Supporters ef the scheme hope America will follow the lead after, aha has had the chance observe the good which may result from even a partial writing off of the wax British officials nave inform! French their plan would brinsr About a radical change In the present European situation. It is thought that the mark, would be stabilized, business confidence restored and Germany, with a eouectlbl indemnity, would be bound to nod means of paying. The proposal has strong advocates in the. Reparation Commission, it is an-- Bounced la these circles today.

It is expected in that quarter that it would have the unofficial support of the American Government. Advocates further point out that its adoption would tonne dlately have the effect of calling to- ether the Committee of International Bankers, who would probably arrange a loan, in iiseix large enougn to insure reparation payments for several years i Coder the revised figures. Tbe plan would call for a moratorium for the remainder of this year's cash payments. The Associated Press learns. i experts taking the view that Germany probably be able to balance her midget by January, provided she is re-i llered of payments until that time.

The I acceptance of the proposed adjustment by France, advocates explain, would have the effect of placing all the Allies, I including Great Britain and the United States, firmly behind France in the col lection of the reparation account. It is admitted that the proposals If approved at the forthcoming Franco-British meeting could hardly be 'adopted by the two countries for several i months. It is explained, however, that of the plan has gone far enough to make It the outstanding and i most acceptable solution of the German reparation problem. MORATORIUM FAVORED BY GUARANTEE BOARD Farther Control of German Finances Judged Impracticable France to Insist on It. PARIS.

July 17 (Associated Press). The Reparation Commission was offl dally notlfed today that Germany bad deposited S2.000.00O gold marks In deslg Bated banks to meet her July 15 re pa rations payment. The members of the Allied Committee on Guarantees returned to Paris today from a month's Inquiry in Berlin with the majority, of Its members convinced that a moratorium of two years or more on cash indemnity payments is the only solution of the present financial crisis In Germany. The report of the committee to the Reparation Commission probably will be made Thursday or Friday. While it will not contain, it appears, a definite recommendation for a moratorium, the members of the committee are expected to Inform their respective delegations that a long breathing spell must be accorded Germany.

It was learned from a reliable source that the French member of the committee Is the only one who does not favor a moratorium. Despite this, he is expected to sign the report of the com mittee, which will be strictly technical in character. Th committee unanimously agrees that the fundamental fault lies with Germany, because of her long delay In bringing about the financial reforms Ceattaasd ea Fag Fire Rich Germans Barn Bond To Get Them Reissued Abroad By CIIARLKfl II.

The cook was questioned by Captain Sweeney and other officials at th. police station, where he has been charged with aggravated assault and battery with Intent to kill and arson. He trembled and muttered. Captain Sweeney believes he Is simulating Insanity. The Japanese refused to offer any explanation, though he admitted that he had tabbed Mrs.

Brinton and bad attempted to lostroy the The stabbing, according to Miss Brinton. was the outgrowth of a dispute yesterday over the cook's disinclination to wear a white coat. When the Japanese became offensive Mrs. Brinton sent for the police. He was warned to behave and seemed to quiet down.

Today when Mrs. Brinton went to the kitchen about 1 o'clock to give orders th dispute flamed out anew, the man seeming to cherish a grudge, especially because Mrs. Brinton had sent for the police. As Mrs. Brinton related the story later in the hospital, she found the man working in his shirt sleeves.

She told him again that he must wear his coat, in a rage he sprang at her. grabbed her by the throat, and dragged her through the butler's pantry into the living room. In the pantry he picked up an Ice pica and. while she struggled, lunged at her with It, stabbing her repeatedly. Miss Brinton beard her mother scream for help and ran to the living room.

The girl saw the cook springing' at mother with the ice pick In his hand. His arm flailed up and down and Mrs. Brinton was bleeding from many wounds. As the daughter gased horrified the man threw Mrs. Brinton to the floor, continuing to stab her as thougn he were insane with rage.

This Is what: you get for sending for police," he repeated over and over, as he brought his weapon down. Mrs. Brinton resisted, but was fast losing strength. The girl, conquering her terror, ran to her mother's aid. She seized the cook's wrist with both hands.

He shook her off again and again and continued to strike. Miss Brinton soon aw that she could not save her mother kby her own strength. So, with her motnen uinai ringing: in ner ears, sne ran to the telephone and called the police station, screaming into the instrument. He's killing my mother He's killing my mother. Sergeant Clements, the man who had pacified the Japanese yesterday, raced to the house with Patrolmen Hatch and and Smith.

Meanwhile the butler, Milllgan. heard the screams, bounded down the stairs with a yell, and attacked the Japanese. Sakiulcl let Mrs. Brinton go and turned on the butler. The cook, after twice stabbing Milllgan.

broke away from his grasp and, Just as the police arrived, fled up the back stairs. After setting fire to a mattress In his1 room th cook hid In a closet, where he was found and subdued. The policemen turned their attention to the fire and held It in check until firemen, reached the house. They extinguished the flames In a few minutes.

In a chase after gang of thelves, in the course of which a citizen, a policeman and an alleged antomoblle thief were wounded, the last-named so badly he is dying. Pursued by a sergeant in a department automobile and fired at by a patrolman on post, the suspect, holding a pistol at the head of a tax lea chauffeur, forced the frightened driver to twist and dodge In and out of miles of streets before he finally was captured and subdued.

In the end. despite bis own raking fire, the man was shot down by a police Honor Legion man, who by the light of a street lamp caught the, glint of the pistol pressed against the driver's ear, leaped to the running board of the racing cab and fought a close range duel with the fugitive. The fact that the gang of which the wounded man Is believed to have been tho leader gave battle with both pistols and sawed off shotguns led the police to believe that they were an unusually desperate set. and detectives1 swarmed all over Harlem in the hope; of rounding them up while others waited in Harlem Hospital to take th ante-mortem statement of the captive. The trouble started when Louis a restaurant keeper; of 109 West 119th Street, glanced out th window at 29 West 111th Street, where he was visiting friends.

Poking his hand through th open front window, the' man thrust the pistol close against the driver's head and ordered him to step on the gas and drive like the devil unless you want to die." At! 115th Street and Seventh Avenue th pursuing police automobile came athwart the commandeered taxicab and Sergeant Cohen, rising" In the tonneau and levelling his pistol, shouted Halt!" If you do I'll kill you." yelled the man Inside the cab, at the same time blazing away at the policeman. The chauffeur, James A. De Sllva of 1.011 East 178th Street, deciding that the nearer weapon was the greater menace, sped on. The man inside emptied his pistol while Cohen and: Webber fired until they were out of ammunition. Meantime the chase had continued over a dozen blocks.

Finally the taxi threw oft the pursuers in their Ford, which was incapable of maintaining the same speed as the larger vehicle. Doubling on his tracks the man Inside forced the chauffeur to drive back down town. At 115th Street and Fifth Avenue Patrolman Crowley, hearing the cab thundering toward him while he was alert to locate the shots which he had heard and which seemed to come from different directions at Intervals, leaped into the street with a cry to stop the cab.

WELLSBURO. W. July 17. H. Duval.

Sheriff of Brooke County, W. and six other men, said to have been union coal miners, met death at 3 o'clock this morning at Cliftonville, W. and more than two dozen men were wounded when a score of armed guards sought to repulse an attack made on the tipple of the Richland Mining Company's Clifton mine, by a force estimated at 300 men. After a battle lasting an hour and a half, in which thousands of shots from revolvers and rifles were exchanged, the attackers were driven off and a score of prisoner? were captured and placed In the county Jail. The bodies of the Sheriff and the other slain men were brought to Wei la burg.

No means of Identification were found on any of the miners, all of whom were foreigners. The exact number of the wounded may never be known, as many of them were recovered by the miners and placed In automobile trucks, which headed for Aveila and Virginia Station, Duval was shot seven times and powder marks on his body gave evidence that he was killed at close range. When discovered by bis son. Deputy Sheriff Thomas Duval, both of his revolvers had been taken from him. and lying dead beside the Sheriff was one of the miners In the invading The Sheriff, accompanied by Deputy Duval and Deputy Hough, had attempted to outflank the invaders and were approaching them from the rear when they ran into th men retreating.

The battle, according to Deputy Hough, was terrific and Sheriff Duval, according to Hough's statement, brought down two men who were firing on Hough before he fell him-relf. Th men kept up a running fire as they retreated in the direction of Aveila. Gaarda Prepared for Attack. Sheriff Duval received word bout 10 P. M.

Sunday that an attack wa planned against the mine, which hau been operating non-union. He placed additional deputies at the mine, ana near midnight Superintendent J. C. Edwards was notified from the Penobscot mine, two miles up Cross Creek, that th men were forming. He sought to get In touch with Aveila.

but stated that poor telephone communications cut off all possibility "of obtaining additional help. He could not get a call beyond Aveila. The protection at the mine conslsteu of twenty men composed of deputy she, iffs and special guards. The latter were armed with rifles which according to the guards became Jammed badly, hindering their efforts. Word came to Cliftonville that men were assembled at Aveila in motor trucks.

Guards then were placed at points of vantage and until 3:30 A. M. the night was still. At that time a terrific charge of dynamite was exploded In the miner' cam directly across Cross Creek. Instantl) rkyrockets were seen to ascenn In the direction of Virginia Station.

This evidently was a signal for further co-ordination. Shortly after that noises were heard about the mine tipple and guards advanced to a point where they could see the men assembling. Most of the guards placed themselves in the tipple house, while the Sheriff and two deputies went in the direction of the company houses. Retreat Before First Attack. 'At 5 A.

M. the attackers were heard to shout, "Come on, boys: let's kill these scabs." With that the entire body of men proceeded toward the tipple and the first shots were fired. With an overwhelming number, the miners forced the guards to take shelter in a near-by house, firing as they retreated. As the men reached the tipple they were seen to pour oil on It and set it afire. Two guards who remained sta tioned in the tipple house kept up a terrific fire and the miners tore off the roof of the enclosed incline in an effort to get at them.

At that time Deputy Sheriff Irvln Mo-zingo started up the hill and in an exchange of shots he was shot through the moll h. Two miners later were found dead at the spot where Mozingo had been directing his fire. Deputies say that all the while they were under fire from the top of the tipple, constant shooting came from the union miners camp, jubv across CThree times the mob charged the tipple, being successful in their third attempt. It was broad daylight, and after the tipple had been fired the miners seemed satisfied and began retreating, stopping long enough to pick up such wounded as they could find. Guards later dynamited the tipple in order to prevent Its destruction by By this method they saved most of It.

Text of President's Plea To Resume Mine Operation Special to The New York Times. WASHINGTON, Jwy V. Preei-ient Harding made the following statement to the group of bituminous mine operatore late thi afternoon after he had received their reeponee to hie arbitration proposal; Gsntlxmen: I have your decision.

I would not be frank If I did not confess a 'disappointment of your lack of unanimity. To the large majority of you. who have pledged readinetu to resume activity under the Government's proposal. I must express my own and the public's gratitude. We have now reached a point, owing to the refusal of mine workers and the minority of your operators to accept the proposed arbitration, where the good offices of tho Government in seeking a vol-, untary adjustment of the dispute between mine operators and mine workers are without avail.

I cannot permit you to depart without reminding you that coal Is a national necessity, the ample supply of which Is essential likewise to common welfare and interstate commerce. The freedom of action on the part of workers and on the part of employers does not measure In importance with that of public welfare and national security. I therefore invite you to return to your mine properties and resume operation. DEBS CALLS UNIONS TO 'FIGHT TOGETHER' Crowd You Fought For in War Would Now Shoot You Down," He Says.

CHICAGO. July 17 Eugene V. Debs, leader of the great American Railway Union strike In 1894. today Issued a statement to the striking railroad men and other unions that the time has come for the rank and file to unite and strike together. vote together and fight together." There has been some slight disorder and a few scabs have been hurt." Mr.

Debs said. This has been the extent of the violence, but It has been sufficient to bring to the strikers what they fougnt for in the late World War. The Federal Government announces through the Department of Justice that it will sUnd no trifling on the part of the strikers, and that if necessary armed force will be employed at once for their suppression. The Governors of seven States have simultaneously announced that they have the National Guard in their respective States mobilized and ready to move at command when the exigencies of the situation demand acUon. You will have no trouble in guessing what kind of action Is thus meant on the part of our national and State Governments, which you shouted for.

to whom you rallied In such frenzy of enthusiasm, to compensate you for your noble patriotism, is now lined up against you In battle array and ready to shoot you down like dogs. It Is true, Mr. Union Man. that your craft union leaders with scarcely an exception stood with the Wall Street profiteers in howling 1 for war and rushing you. the common herd.

Into the trenches to be gassed, mutilated and murdered, while they remained in the rear to receive the plaudits of the rlutocratlc press for their patriotism. But that does not excuse you. for you chose those leaders and were responsible for them. and. after all.

the leaders are about as fit or otherwise as the rank and file that elects them. If In the light of this situation you do not realize the crying need for unity, for solidarity on every front, regardless of creed or color, you are Indeed In a pathetic plight, and your case is all but hopeless. Your weak craft unions 'have got to be converted Into a powerful industrial union, and you have got to cut loose once and for all from the rotten political parties of your masters. Your interests as workers and producers are absolutely identical, and there Is no earthly reason why those who are employed in the same industry should belong to different unions or give their votes to different political parties. The struggle is entering upon Its critical stage, and whether the toiling hosts shall emerge in triumph and establish industrial and social democracy in the world, or go down in humiliating defeat for another historical Period of economic bondage, depends entirely vpon the capacity of the workers to muster th1r forces and stand together, strike together, vote together and fight together all along the line."

FEDERAL AID NOT PROMISED Out Suggestion Is Construed as Meaning Troops Will Be Used if Necessary. OWNERS ACCEPTED HIS PLAN Agreed to Arbitration Proposal in Principle, but Minority Assailed Its Terms. Special to The Neto York Timet, WASHINGTON.

July 17. Prs dent Harding received the reply of the operators of the unionised bituminous coal fields late this afternoon, construed it as an acceptance by the majority of the principle of arbitration, and then invited the operators to return to ther mine properties and resume operation. In his response to th delegation of operators, the President declared th freedom of action on. th part of workmen and on the part of employers does not measure In importance with that of public welfsre and national security. I.

therefore, invite you to return to your mine properties resume operation." The Policy Committee of the Vnlted Mine Workers of America had rejected the proposal on Saturday, and the President apparently accepting that as final, mad an further effort today to get in touch with the labor leaders. Th swift action taken by the Pre si dent late as a surprise both to the representatives of th miners and operators. The statement which he made to the committee of operators who called at the White House was con strued generally as placing blame for the sltnatlon as It exists upon the miners and urn carrying the promts that the Government would 'provide protection if the operators were able to get workers to man their mines. Will Atteartpt Ka Mines. was, however, no further statement 'from th- 'White House throwing light upon the plans which the Government has In mind.

President Ogle of the. National Coal Association said that the operators would return to their mining districts, probably tomorrow, and would do their best to carry out the President's suggestions. He had not been informed, he said, whether protection would be furnished immediately, but hoped for a further statement of the Administration's purpose in that connection. John Ij. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers of America, refused to make formal comment, taking the position that he was not in a position to do so until there was further information at hand concerning the step which the Administration Intended to take.

The position of the miners is that there will be no break In their ranks and that the 7 Administration will learn quickly the futility of attempting to mine sufficient coal without the Jd of the union miners to avert the danger of a serious famine. The appearance of troops in mine" fields, some of th labor leaders contend, would only arouse resentment and bitterness among the union miners and would not accomplish the result. The belief tonight- Is that Pre a dent Harding will give th operators an opportunity to demonstrate whether they can obtain workers In defiance of the unions to operate their mines, and will provide protection If such a course seems necessary. In the event that th operators are unable to handle the situation and report that they cannot produce the coal necessary to avert a famine, governmental operation of the mines looms up again. With the Government In control of the mines.

the union workers probably would consent to return to their work. Dissension Amag Operators. The ranks of the operators were split into factions today and they were unable to reach a unanimous report. After several hours of wrangling a statement was agreed upon to the effect that the operators subscribe to the general principle of arbitration, although all of them could not accept the President's proposal -without modifications. This was submitted to the President by a committee of operators headed by Mr.

Ogle. The following statement, in addition to the President's reply to the operators (published In an adjoining column, was made public at the White House after the delegation of operators left: At 5 o'clock this afternoon the coal operators made extended verbal. and written reports to the President.

In his reply to the appeal of Receiver Schaft for Kederal protection Secretary Weeks advised the railway official to make demands upon the Governor of Texas for protection, adding that if such assistance as might be necessary were not forthcoming the Federal Government would take action. Is expected that Colonel Lincoln will remain in Dallas pending a decijion by Governor Neff. 1 There have been no further appeals for troops directly to the War Department. Secretary Weeks said.

I have had no additional requests for Federal troops, though I cannot say what requests have been made directly to the President or to the Attorney General." the War Secretary said. The Department of Justice has received many communications dealing with th. situation all over the country." Secretary Weeks thought it likely that the Governors of th various States would called upon to take action before any general move was taken by th Federal Government to 'rape with the strike situation, should the general use of troops become necessary. A further report from Colonel Lincoln, now waiting at Dallas. Is expected during th night.

From reports already received, the impression is given that the absence of disorder at Denlson is due primarily to the fact tnat trains are nut moving and that any attempt to open up the situation would probably be the signal for new disorders.
