(By the As-oclated Press.) James A. Logan, Jr American observer' with the reparations commission, presented the viewpoint of the States on the distribution of the proceeds of the Dawes plan at a meeting of the experts' committee today. The French and Belgium experts at once signified their approval of the American thesis that claims of the United States for reparations, as well as army occupation expenses, should share on the same basis as the allies in reparations payments. The British and Italian delegates aid they needed further instructions from their governments, although there was no Indication that any resistance to the American viewpoint would be offered. It was agreed that the army costs ought to be paid as per the previous agreement and the principle that claims allowed by the mixed commission at Washington should share In reparations on the same footing as other war creditors of Germany was fully admitted by the French and Belgians.

It is expected that the British and Italian representaMves will have full instructions from their governments in a few days. The experts then will be able to finish their labors In preparation for the finance minister's conference with Mr. Logan. It la now thought this conference may begin some time between December 10 and December 15.

Investigators Obtain Pre-raid Evidence. Investigators, armed great volumes of evidence turned over by city officials la Los Angeles to San Francisco authorities, have been at work for weeks visiting the San Francisco "disciples" of the "minister makers." Two days ago the evidence was laid beforcthe district attorney and the foreman of the San Francisco Grand Jury. A careful scrutiny of the evidence resulted in an Immediate request by the police to Superior Judge Timothy I. Fittpatrick for search warrants.

They were granted. Last night a raiding squad under the command of Police Lieutenant Thomas Hoertkom and Sergeant Morris Harris started out. Raiding officers made It plain that their drive was not on bonande spiritualists who practiced in good faith, but that they were out after those who, without any preparation, merely were made ministers "at so much per minister." They cited that "Bishop" Edward K. Earle of the Universal Church of the Master, who was recently ar. rested in San Francisco and whc stated openly in police court here that the "publio liked to be bunked and waa willing to pay for tt," had been a walking "diploma mill" tor scores of fakers.

The big attack on the alleged faking, it was reported, waa imminent action from the attorney general toward quo warranto proceedings revoking the church charters and ordination papers which hitherto had protected mediums from police prosecution.

DESCRIBES "SEANCE." A graphlo description of a real "spook sennoe" la given by a woman Investigator who called at a "spiritualistic" and "psychic" church in Larkln street. She reports: the executive committee of the league at Its session here. The resolutions also charge that "those district attorneys and Judges who refuse to use the full power of the law to stop liquor lawlessness are encouraging and not suppress- 1 Ing violations." Particular emphasis was directed against "the continued employment In publlo office of those government employes who are violating the law-by purchasing liquor from bootleggers." The resolutions asserted that "the law enforcement situation In the1 nation demands the serious consid- eratlon of the Congress, the execu -tive and the Judicial branches or' the government and continued: We call the attention of Con- gress to the anomalous situation created by divided responsibility In the enforcement of national prohibition. The large source supply for the bootlegger comes I from the rum smuggler and from Industrial alcohol diverted to beverage use. The coast gusrd la halting the smuggler.

The control of manufacture and the withdrawal of in- dustrial alcohol la not subject to the prohibition enforcement department but to the revenue collectors. Sis million gallons cf this industrial alcohol was used last year to supply the illicit trade. Reduced to 40 per cent whisky, this provided 240.000.O0O half pints of bootleg liquor. It Is Impossible to secure effective law enforcement against bev- erage intoxicants without control of industrial alcohol which Is be- ing diverted to beverage uses. It is poor economy and bad policy to -divide responsibility for enforcement over these two sources of supply for liquor law violators.

Washington, before the vessel was sent to the bottom of the Atlantic off Cape Charles will be studied by the special naval board In considering the relative Importance of battleships and aircraft in the national defense. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur announced today. Wilbur revealed that It wafi the gunfire of the battleship Texas which finally resulted In the sinking of the Washington, after unsuccessful efforts to prevent the destruction of the vessel were made In local courts. Wilbur's statement follows: The exact results of the experiments on the hull of the ship popularly referred to as the Washington were of great military and will be Immediately considered by the special board dealing with the relative value of the various arms of the ervlce, the air force, with a view of determining the most advantageous adoption of available plans for national defense. To state without any detail to nature of the experiment projected upon the hull of the Bhlp, would not only be to give to foreign nations that advantage of Information that could only be obtained at a cost greatly In excess of that expended by our government, and thus surrender one of the advantages accorded to us by the treaty for the limitatioon of arms, which required the vessel to be permanently sunk or broken up, but permitted Its use as a target before the actual sinking.

The expectation of our naval constructions concerning the resisting power of the ship against gunfire, bomb and torpedo explosions have been fully Justified, and the detailed examination of the hull after the various explosions will be of Inestimable value In the development of our national defense. It may also be stated that torpedo, aerial bomb and gunfire, experiments were used In the test. The final test on yesterday morning were by gunfire. The ship was sunk and the experiments conducted were even tnore valuable than anticipated. "Darling wife!" my spook tmrougn tne medium) ahrleked.

Sunset Cafeteria An Investigation of ttie psychic and spiritualist activities in San Francisco was the outcome of the belief that for a long time unscrupu-lous persons have been taking advantage of the credulity of the public to make a profit in devious ways.

When the National Independent Spiritualist Association was exposed in Los Angeles and Its officers and directors arrested for criminal "conspiracy and other charges and it appeared that its ramifications extended into San Francisco, an investigator was sent to Los Angeles for Information. Through extensive Investigations carried on privately, it soon was evident that not only did the spiritualist organization, known throughout the psychic circles of the country as I. S. A-" have affiliations in San Francisco but that there were a number of so-called spiritualist churches operating here under charters of various forms. Some of these charters were issued by the State itself, others were issued by associations, societies or "churches" chartered by the State.

The State's sanction had been obtained through incorporation for all sorts of action on the part of these churches. Documents seized In the N. I. S. A.

raids and exposures In Los Angeles indicated that even the first of the by-laws laid bruises, cniibiatns, irostea ieei under which they were incorporated. The investigation was focused In San Francisco, and a flood of material was obtained from psychics yogis, seers, erystalgazers, palmists and others. Investigators approaching these per. sons bought and paid for "breedings," "consultations" "healing" and "treatments" any one of which is considered by the district attorney sufficient to convict the psychic involved of violating the city ordinance prohibiting the forecasting of the future or the calling up of purported spirits by any means whatever. But a jail sentence, or a fine, meted out to the itinerant fortuneteller or even the more permanently established "medium with a large, deluded and profitable clientele, never has operated to stop their activities; they simply move to a new address, collect a new group of clients or get In touch again with their old ones, and continue their profitable calling as before.

The In'estigators were told to dig deeper. They found that nearly every practicing medium, psychic, necromancer and all the others gulllDg the people of the city, were used, It was found, to cloak operations far from being approved by any generally recognized denomination. In other words, fakers were hiding behind certificates of ordination whenever the police made inquiries regarding them. It should be said, however, that not all spiritualists were believed to be or found te be guilty of any improprieties. The spiritualist church constitutes a recognized denomination, its followers worshipping according to the dictates of their faith and conscience, but it does not countenance the forecasting of the future, and it regards the purported production of materializations with a careful eye.
