II Washington." April 29. President
Iflardtng nnd his cabinet arc unaer
' 'flood to have' discussed the German
ieparations proposals again today.
Secretary Hughes laid before them
:$ie views of the principal allied pow
,'s with regard o the offer. Mean
!;ame, tlie American reply to the Gcr
'ifi..ln cornmunication was held up.
iAVhile tlie cabinet was considering
i'tju- question, it became known that
iSreat Hritaiti and Italy had not
iejiniiely rejected the German ofYcr
p unacceptable as a basis for nego
tiations. It was understood, how
.$ttr, that the l'"rench and Belgian
iiq'es, as transmitted to Mr.
Jaiighcs, were that the terms were
gSlacceptable. -
According to information in
rjiijually well informed quarters Sec--htlary
Hughes still is hopeful that
jiutgotiations between the allies and
Zl Germany can be reopened. It is said
3Hit even if a rinal decision is not
sened before the Trench begin to
uttjfcve into additional German terri
the exchanges' can continue
tiler that time.
ttJ,
fVCt'aris, April 29. (By the Aso
yited l''re.s.) Premier Briand, it
Jfys decided in oftjcial circles, today,
;goig to London ready to con-U-iiK-r
any serious new proposals made
f.ty the Germans, but not without
M-.rtt having in hnd further pledges
-aa guarantee that the proposals
i3rcould.be made good.
;v!'i,'ouseuuently. it was said, it was
.tin expected that any uew offers
i?rmany might make in London
gftjuldrcvent the extension of the
itcciip'ation of German territory.
()The 'figures of 132,000.000,000 gold

Rodman Appointment
As District Judge Is
Eliminated By Law
Lincoln", April 29. (Special.)
While James A. Rodman of Kimball,
a member of the lower house of the
present legislature, was virtually
conceding his elimination from pos
sible appointment to fill the vacancy
on the . bench in the Thirteenth
judicial district, caused by the death
last Monday of Judge H. M. Grimes,
a delegation from Dawson county
visited Governor McKelvie today to
urge the appointment of E. A. Cook
of Lexington to fill the place.
Mr. Rodman had been the only
active candidate heretofore and re
ceived the endorsement of virtually
the entire membership of the legis
lature. The recent constitutional amend
ments adopted, however, prohibit the
governor from appointing a mem
ber ot the legislature to any state
office duriiif- the term for which he
was elected.
The attorney general's office
looked up the law today and came
to the conclusion that the judgeship
is a "state office" since district
judges .are paid by the state. The
constitution is clear that a resigna
tion from the legislature will not
open the way to a candidate, be
cause he is "barred for the term for
which he is elected."

a way as to eliminate every possibil

all conflicting' interests.
"Italy is particularly glad when
ever the moral policies of the two
governments and the material inter
ests of the two nations agree in such
a way as to put Italy and the
United States in a position to co-
cperate towards the attainment of the

President Harding met the repub
lican members of the foreign rela
tions committee at a dinner given by
Senator Lodge in honor of George
Harvey, the new ambassador to Great
Britain. . Relations with Japan were
discussed as well as the whole ques
tion of reduction of armament.
There was general agreement that
there should be no curtailment of the
1916 navy building program and
that all moves to have the United
States set the example of armament
reduction in advance of an interna
tional agreement should be discour
aged. As to initiating negotiations
with Great Britain and Japan for a
navy curtailment, it was decided to
make no move pending developments
in the Pacific. .
At a meting of the committee to
day the situation in China was chief
ly discussed.- By some members it
was suggested that Japan is getting
ready to resume coercion of China
to ?ield to those demands for Japan
ese suzerainty which were eliminated
from the original 21 iif 1915. It was
thought this might be the reason for
the recontention of the Tokio gov
ernment in calling home all Japanese
of military age in the Philippines and
East Indies. .

By Injv.roal SierrU.
New -York, April 29. Are John T.
Hettrick and John Rogers one and
the same man ? Has another Still
man case, bereft of millions and so
cial eclat, been unearthed In New
York? .
Various questions were being
asked today when it was Jearned
that Hettrick, "code of practice"
lawyer, who controlled the building
material combine and who is now
serving an indeterminate sentence on
Blackwell's Island following a sen
sational trial, has been sued for rent
which was unpaid by one "John
Rogers" for an apartment at : 133
West Seventy-ninth street. The un
paid rent is for March and April,
1920. But it has .been established
that Hettrick was living with his
wife in apparent harmony at 23 West
Twelfth street until August. 1920,
when he left there after becoming
involved in the building trades scan
dal. However, the real estate firm which
secured a judgment against Hettrick
by default, he being in jail, was pre
pared to submit the following affi
davit, signed by Edward Harris,
janitor of the apartment house at
133 West Seventy-ninth street:
"I remember a man named John
Rogers. He lived here with a wo
man supposed to be his wife, Mrs.
Jennie Rogers. I have not seen him
since last fall, and recently I have
seen his pictures in the newspapers
showing John T. Hettrick, recently
convicted in the criminal courts, and
I do swear that he and the said John
Rogers are identical and the same
man." ."'
Also in the possession of lawyers
for the plantiff, it is said, was knowl
edge of a witness prepared to testify
that "Mrs. Jennie Rogers" had said
that "Mr. Rogers" and Hettrick were
one.
Rogers was recommended for the
West Seventy-ninth street apartment
by Hettrick himself.
Two women, described as of un
usual beauty and charm, figure in tho
maze lying behind the simple legal
matter. Une is M,rs. Hettrick, de
scribed as a "typical Danish beauty,
tall, blonde and striking," about 30
years old.
No. 2, Mrs. John Rogers, is de
scribed as a "brunette, small, verv
pretty, in her early 20s and formerly
a cloak model." , ..
I Veto of Censorship
j Applauded By Watson
Lincoln'. April 29. (Special.)
Governor McKelvie has been receiv
ing a flood of congratulations by tele
graph from all over the nation over
his veto of H. R. 113, providing for
movie .censorship. Private citizens
have joined with movie people in
commending his stand against the
bill.
A forlorn and helpless item re
mains in the general appropriation
bill, H..R. 623, which the governor
signed, as a reminder of the fight.
This item appropriates $15,000 a year
out of fees to be collected for in
specting movie reels at $2 each for
the maintenance of the 'board of re
view (censors) as the governor put
it in his message.

Mexico City. April 29. Francisco
Villa, former rebel chief, now holds
absolute title to his ranch in the state
of Durango.. Final payment of 500,
000 pesos to the former owners of
the ranch was ordered by President
Obregon yesterday.
Villa's activities have figured con
spicuously in newspapers here re
cently, it being declared that he
seeks the governorship of the state
of Durango. His crops are all
planted and it is said the former
bandit leader - seeks diversion and
will wage an active campaign for po
litical honors. Newspapers here
also assert he was recently ap
proached by agents of men planning
revolutionary activities who sought
his aid.
Villa is reported, however, to have
sent the agents away with a curt an
swer and to have resumed the dis
patching of humorous post cards to
government officials here, which ap
pears to be his latest whim.

Turkish Harem Is
Rapidly Passing
As Part of Homes
1
Final Luxury of Better Class
Going Same Route as That
Taken by Family Jew
els and Lands.
Constantinople, April 29. The
Turkish harem is quickly passing as
a part of theTurkish home. Poverty
and the neecTfor house room are the
causes.
Hie Turkish pashas, effendis,' beys
and all the well-to-do of other days
whose homes were divided into the
hrrem and the haremlik, that is, one
half, of a mansion or palace for the
women and the other for the men,
are parting with this luxury-as they
have parted with their carriages,
Worses, jewels and lands. The peas
ants still keep a division o their
houses for the privacy of their wives
and daughters and children.
Women Deplore Fact.
Many Turkish women deplore the
necessity which compels them to live
like the "poor European." They de
clare that they were happier when
Hying apart, that thr home . was
easier to manage and their husbands,
too.
In Constantinople the majority of
the private houses show this division,
but the chance to rent one side of the
house, or else the requisitions of al
lied troops, has caused families to
live together in only one-half of
their home.
Furnishings Auctioned.
Foreigners are getting for the first
time a peep into the more aristocratic
oi these old homes, until now hidden
in the mystery of protecting garden
walls, latticed windows and huge
gates or doorways. The visit often
reveals a charming interior, V'ith
'room, walls and ceilings decorated
with fresco paintings and mosaics
showing charming view of mosques,
mountains, seas, forests, or rovers of
the old empire. ,
- As the homes are vacated their
elaborate European furniture, to
gether with much of the collections
of brocades, -gossamer silks and fine
tugs are sold at auctions held in the
bouse or else sent to the dealers or
auction room of the old Bazaar.
