Six men at work near the tipple were injured. As the hours passed, more miners arrived at the Kinloch entry after coming to the surface at the distant mouth known ad the Valley Camp entry. At 11 a. m. company officials said that between 140 and 150 men were, known to have escaped.

Allies Give Verdict Reparations To Germans Total of $420,000,000 Cuts Annuities of Dawes Plan. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS LEASED WIRE TO TRIBUNE PARIS, March Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank, will.

take with him to Berlin tonight, it is learned, the offer of the allied experts on: reparations to accept 1,750,000,000 marks (about $420,000,000) as the figure for the German reparations nulties. The allies' offer carried with it various other conditions which were not revealed. Dr. Schacht, has given no indication that, the German government will accept the allies' offer. He has telegraphed Dr.

Rudolf Hilferding, minister of finance, to call a meeting at Berlin of the great, of provincial the German industrialists institutions and so that he may explain' the present situation of the reparations negotiations. The German banker asked this meeting deliberately, it wag understood, so that responsibility for acceptance or conditional refusal would be widely shared not only by the government but by the great leaders of German industry and finance. The figure of 1,750,000,000 marks is understood to represent reparations payments of all categories. This would entall a reduction of the present annuities under the Dawes plan of between 700,000,000 and 800,000,000 gold marks. The 1,750,000,000, marks figure was guarded with the' greatest secrecy; consequently, when it was learned, there was no attendant explanation or comment to indicate the number of annuities, or if as generally supposed, it was the first figure of a schedule of rising annual totals.

Thus it appeared that the minimum which Germany's creditors will accept is in fact the equivalent of the fourth year's Dawes annuity, payment of which was completed August 31, 1928. O. K. GIVEN NEW CONSTITUTION West's. Bill for Election of Delegates Given 'Do Pass' Recommendation.
