    French-British
Situation Grave:
Entente Menaced
•No Progress Made Toward
Settlement of Squabble
Over Ruhr — French
Premier Standing Pal.
B.t t'nher»al Service.
London, July 7,—No progress to
wards settlement of German repara
tions were made during the week's
negotiations between Great Britain
and France.
The crisis now, owing to Premier
Poincare’s attitude and his refusal of
a writen answer to Premier Bald
win’s questionnaire; is most grave.
It threatens, according to J. L. Gar
vin, in the Sunday Observer, the very
existence of the entente.
It is clearly understood that the
Piiiish government is determined to
avert the danger of the economic col
lapse of Germany which wquld prob
ably be the final blow to disintegrat
ing Europe.
The government still hopes against
hope for an eleventh hour change in
the French policy that will save the
entente and Insure the world against
the horrors of another great war.
Most Critical Point.
Just hmv black the outlook is may
be deduced from the declaration of
•Garvin:
"We have reached the most critical
moment of the postwar Anglo
French crisis, which is a real
tragedy. It is probably safe to say
that the next few days must de
cide the fate of the entente.
"To prevent this the French occu
pation of the Ruhr must become 'in
visible’ with no ■ economic Interfer
ence if Germany is to have a fair
chance to pay the Irreducible mini
mum. which Great Britain is ready
to join with France to enforce.
"England also is willing to guar
antee forever, the security of France,
including Alsace-Lorraine.
Should Fix Capacity.
"Germany's capacity to pay ought
to be fixed at. once by an expert im
partial tribunal including represen
tatives of the United States. The
economic restoration of central
Europe is essential to the prosperity
of i he trade of the world.
"We believe that America will In
tervene sooner or later In its own In
terests, now that the great republic
has become a shipping nation."
The British cabinet will meet Mon
day or Tuesday to discuss the com
ing statements of Premier Baldwin in
the house of commons and Lord Cur
7011 In the house of lords. The min
isters are worried, as the conversa
tions today were most disappointing.
Lord Curzon complanied bitterly
that no document has been handed to
him from Poincare for communica
tion to the cabinet. Poincare after
wards inatriicted Saint Aulalre, the
French ambassador, to present, not
his answer, but a written copy of his
instructions.
Woman Accused of
Killing Husband
Admitted to Bail
Wife of Slain Army Officer
Collapses Just Before
Judge Fixes Bond
at $3,000.
Anniston. Ala.. July 7.—Mrs. Evelyn
Sue Hickner. who, the. state alleges
shot and killed her husband, IJeut.
.fames U. Rickner. was admitted to
tfKil in the sum of J3.000 late this af
ternoon. following preliminary hear
ing before Judge J. B. Holman, Jr.,
if the Calhoun county court.
Mrs. Rickner collapsed shortly be
fore Judge Hnlam gave his verdict
and was not in the court room to
hear a short demonstration of ap
proval which met the court's an
nouncement. Friends declared that
bond would be made Immediately.
Unusual interest was attached to
the case, due to the popularity of tho
slain officer and the youth and beauty
of his wife. The court room was
crowded, a large number of uniforms
representing the military friends of
the couple.
The defense presented no witnesses
and the state's testimony was mostly
concerned with the circumstances of
the shooting. No arguments from
either side were heard.
(’apt. Charles F. Craig testified that
In his dying breath Rickner cursed his
wife and blamed her for his death.
Harry Elder of Indianapolis, brother
of Mrs^ Rickner and her daughter
Marylyn, 4, were present wdth the de
fendunt In the court room, the little
girl sitting upon her mother's knee
while the testimony was being heard.
While the defense placed no wit
nesses upon the stand, It is under
stood their plea before the court when
Mrs. Rickner will probably face trial,
will bo that the defendant was suf
fering from temporary Insanity. It
is also claimed that Rickner refused
to suppe>rt his wife and was abejut to
leave with another woman.

Drainage Project Means New Land
No. 1. Here Is the ramp at Brown
lake occupied by W. J. O’Brien, for
mer head of the state game and fish
department and his assistant, who are
seining (lie lake in preparation for
its draining. Across the lake is the
farm of A. N. Mathers, speaker of tlie
house 'of representatives. When (lie
lake is drained, Mr. Mathers and sev
en other farmers will have an in
creased acreage.
No. 2. And here is a mess or so of
bass, whirl) are Just fresh from the
waters of Brown lake, near tiering.
They are destined to go on living in
some other lake.
This is just another story of the
progress of Nebraska.
But those who reside in tli“ Gerirg
valley consider it a most important
one. And to eight farmers with land
bordering on Brown lake, two i dles
from Gering, it means the use of
many acres which have been hereto
fore useless. /
Brown lake covers about 15 acres.
It is a shallow, marshy lake, but filled
with thousands of bass. When plans
for draining it were laid, the ques
tion of what to do with the tish be
came an issue. Nor was the expense
of the drainage project a small matter
of consideration.
A. N. Mathers, speaker of the
house of representatives, an.1 YV. J.j
O'Brien, foritaer head of the state
fish and game department, got their
heads together and arrived at an
answer to these questions.
With C. G. Pelford of Ashland as
chief assistant, Mr. O'Brien is now
seining the lake. Tile bass are being
removed to other waters, and the run
fish or crappies are being sold for
food. The proceeds of this sale are
dpeing used to help pay for the work.
’ A ditch to drain the lake is b“ing
dug by the federal government from
tie North Platte river, four nules dis
tant. But until all the fish are re
moved, the lake will not be drained.

Montana Liquor
Ruling Likely to
Force Showdown
Prohibition Officials Expected
to Take Appeal From De
cision Lifting Limit
on Prescriptions,.
Be t nlverw.I Sfnlrf.
Washington, July 7.—The derision
of Federal Judge Bourquin at Helena,
Mont., holding unconstitutional the
section of the prohibition law limiting
the amount of liquor physicians may
prescribe as medical necessities. is ex
pected to force a showdown on the
part of prohibition officials as to
whether they will accept or resist
this interpretation.
If the decision Is accepted without
appeal It will mean that the present
regulations which limit each physi
cian to 100 liquor prescriptions In
90 days and /not more than one pint
for each patient each 10 days will
have to be revised.
The attitude nf the prohibition
bureau, as voiced by Acting Com
missioner Jonea and Counsel Hrltt,
was that an appeal would he taken
and that pending flnql action by the
supreme court of the T'nlted Slates,
no change would be made in the exist
ing regulations.
But the question of whether the
matter la to he carried to the higher
court reals with the Department of
Justice which, aa a matter of course,
will act in consultation wlh he Treas
ury departmen. It Is significant In
this connnectlon that In a similar
case In New York In which Federal
Judge Knox made practically the
same ruling ns that of Judge Dour
quin, no appeal has been taken up
to this time. It Is said at the De
partment of Justice the matter is still
under consideration, a period of DO
days being allowed under the rules of
the court to enter an appeal.

Bv International >ew» Service.
Chicago, July 7.—A woman who be
lieves killing deserving of the same
dainty feminine touch that goes Into
fancy-work atid worthy of as much
ceremony and preparation as she
might devote to a tea, was ordered
tonight tb he made the subject of a
grand Jury Investigation on a charge
of murder.
Mrs. Mina Bernatowicz, 45, the
mother of four children, decided, after
due deliberation, that It was fitting
and proper that she kill Mrs, Anna
Andraskl, also 45. jvh°. she contends,
was the object of the Illicit love of
her husband. Joseph Bernatowicz.
Many another woman, crazed with
Jealousy and furious with hatred,
would have sprung upon Mrs Andras
kl haphazardly. But Mrs. Bernatowicz
set out to have V party.
First, she finished her housework
Then she prepared a meal for her
children. After that she carefully
washed a pair <*f long glove* she had
decided to wear for the slaying. Her
very best clothes she chose, includ
ing a frock cut rather.low, and a rope
of pearls. With a pistol tucked In
her hag, she was a neatly turned out
person, as she still was tonight in
her Jail cell, where she told newspa
per respresentatives she was "tickled
lo death" because she had slain Mrs.
Andraskl. The prisoner whisked a
bit of lint from h* r black frock, em
bellished with cut Steel heads, and
tipped her hat over one eye in that
jaunty angle one supposes the dis
tinctive mark of a flapper.
"Two and a half years ago." Mrs.
Bernatowicz explained, "Mrs. Andras
kl met Joe and did her best to steal
him. They've kept al<ady company
since. He gave her money. He earn
ed $455 a month. Nine months ago
she took him entirely away from his
home and his children.
“Today, after the children had eat
en, I told three of them to he good
and wait until I returned. I took
along John. He's nty eldest hoy.
'Mother, don't kill her-please don't—
mother, they might hang you for It,’
he told me. But t explained to him
that It was right I should kill her.
" 'But my poor hoy, my poor hoy,'
I told him, T atn going to kill her for
you, John, and your little brothers
and sisters.’
“Then I saw Mrs. Andraskl and
her son coming along. I walked up to
her and said: 'I told you I’d kill you.'
Then I shot her. She fell Ht toy son's
feet. John, my hoy, tried to take the
revolver from me. Isn't he a good
son? Wanted to take the blame. But
I told him. 'No, John. I want them all
to know It was I killed her. Oh, how
glad I am.’ And l just waited until
the police came,”
The slayer tinkered with her pearls
as she spoke. Her stiff attitude Indi
cated she was conscious of her dress
ed-up appearance. Hhe was all dressed
for a party, hut the party was over—
at least until the grand jury meets
and decides whether the coroner's
Jury wns right In charging her with
murder.

Tasks of Huerta
and Hamilton on
Parallel Lines
Job Facing Mexican Finance
Head Similar to That of
the Young American
* After Revolution.
■■■■
By Ini verbal 8*nr1c#.
Mexico City, July 7.—If Alvaro
Obregon is the George Washington
of the new rejuvenated republic of
Mexico, Adolfo de la Huerta, Mexican
minister of finance, is the country's
Alexander Hamilton.
There is a striking parallel be
tween the job which confronted and
still confronts young De la Hureta
and the task undertaken and per
formed under similar circumstaees
by a youthful American, Alexander
Hamilton, United States secretary of
the treasury, after our own revolu
tion.
De la Huerta, after the Mexican
revolution, found his country flooded
with useless Carranza paper cur
rency, like the bog of "continentalo”
in which Hamilton found the new
American republic sunk. Both alike
had, and solved, the problem of es
tablishing a sound metallic currency.
C'oiiiinerrial Credit Fails.
After each revolution, commercial
credit had disappeared and a new
centralized banking system was
needed to further development of the
country. Hamilton's answer was the
first hank of the United Wtates. De
la Huerta's answer is the Banco
Unico, whose establishment is ex
pected in th- next month by means
of $25,009,000 of New York money
invested in the institution via a
French banking syndicate.
Hamilton, like De la Huerta, inher
ited a heavy burden nf public debt
improvidently loaded on the country
in Its hour of need. Both cour
ageously resisted the Idea of repudia
tion and set out to organize the shat
tered national finances so as to dis
charge the debt. It helps to under
stand and appreciate what this new
Mexico has done, to remember that
we weie ohee where it Is now.
Finally Hamilton needed to rees
tablish public credit so that he could
raise funds for the proserution of
the internal Improvements which the
country so urgently needed, roads
and canals. Just so with De la
Huerta.
He is begging the International
bankers to let Mexico resume pay
ments on Its Inner external debts—
money for which h. « l**en In New
York since early in the year—so that
Mexico can appear as the solvent
creditor It Is. and he In line to bor
row -the millions that it urgently
needs for roads, canals and irriga
tion
Receipts Equal Expenditure*.
It was De la Huerta who. as gov
ernor of Sonora, organized the coun
try’s resistance to rarranza’s attempt
to dictate his successor. It was De
la Huerta who, as provisional presi
dent. ended the depredations of Villa
hy settling him as a gentleman
farmer on a ranch In Durango. It
was De la Huerta xvho sent General
Obregon to Tampico and secured the
emigration to the t'nited States of
the bandit Pela«z. Those two major
bandits removed General Obregon*
task of pacifying the country was
farihtied.
Finance Minister De la Huerta has
organized the tax system of his coun
try so that for the first time since
Diaz the receipts equal the expendi
tures Carranza coxered his deficits
by pilfering the reserves of the
hanks, printing several hundred mil
lion dollars of paper money, paying
th« government's employes 25 per
cent In Itonds, instead of cash and al
most completely ceasing expenditures
for education.
The first thing that De la Huerta
had to do was to clean tip the Car
ranza mess. He has retired the
Carranza paper money hy aqeep'lng
It In part payment of taxes and fi -
lms replaced It fiy silver coinage as
ths circulation medium. He has
given the banks 5 per cent bonds for
all the money Carranza stolo from
them. In this year’s budget is an J
appropriation of the $1,300,000 to re
tire the last of the Carptnza bonds
held by the government employes;
nearly $3,000,000 xvns thus slant last
year.
Petroleum T»xcs.
Tn 1522 the Mexican federal tress
ury collected $277.000.OflO and spent
$267,000,000. Where did the money
come fiom? The main Item was pe
troleum taxes on which the repub
lie collected $66,000,000 last yenr. Pe
troleum production had not begun in
Dlnx's day. It Is a question how
much of last year's $66,000,00# would
have found its way Into the public
treasury If shrewd old Porfiro,
friend of foreign concession hunters,
had been In the president’s chair.
ft Is true that the main expendi
ture was for the army, amounting to
$134,000,000. Put a strong and ready
army was necessary nftcr 10 sizars
of free for all banditry. The mili
tary expenditures are falling month
by month. During the year 1022 the
government dropped 10,000 soldiers
from the payroll The military bnd
get for 1023 is $30,000,000 less than
for 1022.
While the 1023 budget shows a
drop of $30,000,000 In military expen
dlttires. |t shows an increase of ex
nelly $30,000,000 in outlays for educa
tion which were $22,000,000 Inst
year and will he $52,000,000 this year.
That Is what Mexicans are say
ing:
• Poor little Mexico, distracted and
torn by 10 years of civil war spent |
In ^struggling for freedom, balances
her budget and meets her obligations, I
domestic and foreign. She sends to
Nyw York money for the payment of
Interest on her foreign debt.
