iPressLThe German delegates at the
conference here have agreed in princi
tile with the terms submitted to them
i
by the allies as to Germany's deliveries
of coal, but will ask for the explana
tion of certain articles in the allied
note. They made this announcement
just before entering into conference
. with the allied ministers this After
noon. "' Ppa, Belgium, July 18 (By the As
sociated Press!. The German delega
tion at the conference here sent word
to the Bupreme council this morning
that the German reply to the allied
Ultimatum on coal deliveries would not
b ready before 4 o'clock this after
noon. The Germans are expected to
ask modification of the terms of the
protocol.
;;The reply was due at 11 o'clock this
morning.
" From what could be learned during
the morning the thing that was stand
ing in the way of acceptance by the
Germans of the allied terms was the
clause providing for occupation of the
Ruhr valley unlet) the coal deliveries
reached a total of six million tons by
Oct. 13.
lr. Walter 'Simons, the German for
eign minister, told his colleagues when
they met to confer over the allied con
dition that this, subject had not been
mentioned during his conversation with
Premiers Lloyd George and Millcrand
yesterday, when a verbal agreement
was virtually reached. The Germans, it
appears, were greatly annoyed to find
it in the text of terms handed them in
the note of last night.

national senior championships were
advanced by the Olympic committee

Alleged Leader of Abortive Revolution
in Mexico Was Captured After
Hiding in Cellar of House.
Mexico City, July 15. General Pablo
Gonzales, former candidate for . the
presidency and alleged leader of the
abortive revolution in the atate of
Xuevo Leon, whose capture waa re
ported to-day, will be placed on trial
immediately, according to official an
nouncement. The government has ap
pointed Generals FraiuCsco Goss of
Sallillo, Enrique Kstradji of Zacatecas
and Joaquin Amaro of Torreort as
members of the court, according to the
newspaper Kxcelsior.
General Gonzales' whereabouts were
discovered last night, but he resisted
arrest, claiming those who sought to
apprehend him did not carry warrants
for their action. The hou-e where he
was lodging was wvtchtd all night, of
ficials in the meantime obtaining a
warrant to take him into custody. One
version of th; incident sla. h.' was
mind hiding ,n the cellar of the lio.ie
this mtrniii'.-
Suspicion of government authorities
vas aroused by General (kiiMle.s re
fusal to denounce publicly the upris
ings led by several military leaders in
Nuevo Leon, the peneral claiming the
rebellion chiefs were his persons!
friends. A dispatch to the Hcraldo
says that supporters of General Goii
r.ales protest against the government
Jjqlding him in solitary confinement
nd claim this is in violation of the
provisions of the constitution of 1007.
Legal action hy which he can be pro
tected is contemplated, it is under
stood. A draft of a plan of revolution pro
viding for the ousting of all govern
mental departments functioning at
present, written by General Carlos
Garcia, chief of staff to General Gon
zales, according to a message from
General M. Perez Trevino, chief of op
erations in Xuevo Leon, to General P.
Klias Calles, secretary of war, savs
the Hcraldo. The project calls for the
appointment of a new provisional
president by Congress when three
fourths of the states and Mexico City
are controlled by the new regime. Fre
quent reference is made to the "su
preme chief of the revolution," 'but no
name was mentioned in the draft, it
is said.
After declaring that there can lie no
recognition of present federal, state
and municipal governments, the al
leged plan savs the supreme chief will
provisionally name governors of the
various states occupied by "the liberal
revolutionarv armv, and that these
governors will name judicial officers
and citv councils, pending legal elec
tions. The text as quoted by the news
paper, continues:
''When the capital is occupied and
at least three-fourths of the states
have been taken over, the supreme
chief will convoke the Mexican people
n elections for the purpose of choos-
iit senators and deputies in a general
Congress, which will appoint a provi
sional president. To him the upr.e
chief will render a detailed account of
his administration.
"All appointments are to be roadr on
the basis of merit, but. other things
being equal, preference will be given ad
herents of the present plan. Lives and
property will be respected and all
seizures and search, i w ill be prohibit
ed without judicial or administrative
orders. Constitutional guarantees will
be observed.
"The provisional president willl call
elections for the purpose of choosing
a permanent president and justices of
the supreme court, according to law
within three months of his appoint
ment. Provisional governora will also
call elections so that permanent gov
ernors and members of legislature may
be placed in office. Municipal laws
are to be revised and city elections are
to be called all over the country."
General Trevino is said to believe
that this plan was to be followed by
sll leaders opposing the present gov
ernment. He is also quoted a saying
that he believes General Jose Santos is
guiltless of rebellion, but is a victim
of personal spite on the part of ene
mies. eral small bridges on the rail
road between Monterey and Xuevo
I j redo were burned during the disor
ders in the state of Nueto I .eon. and
the line probably will not oerate for
some da vs.

He Hopes to Complete His Speech by
Saturday Night.
Marion. Ohio, July In. Senator
Harding kept hard at work to-day on
his speech accepting the Republican
nomination for president. Although
the address is not to be delivered until

platform, the acceptance speech is ex
pected to be the real kevnote of the
Republican campaign. The candidate,
therefore, is taking great care to make
certain that it touches comprehensively
on all the important issues and lays a
hroad basis for the party's fight for
popular support.
lie expressed confidence yesterday
that the Republican platform would be
found progressive enough to i-oinuititid
the support of Indh the farming and
lalioring classes.

Dr. George I. Abbott Re
turned Home at Midnight
Last Night and Found' a
Man Looting His House
Without Waiting for
Help, He Gave Chase.
Bethel, July 16. The timely arrival
home of Dr. George I. Abbott at mid
night last night prevented the robbery
of his residence at the head 6f River
street and resulted in the capture of
the intruder after an exciting chase
and a hard tussle. The man to-day
gave the name of Frank Williams, ni
home, but coming to Bethel from Al
bany, 5.'. Y., by the way of Greenfield,
Mass. On the man's person were found
bonds, securities and papers aggregat
ing the sum of M.1,000.
The home of Dr. Abbott was unoc
cupied during the early part of last
night, Dr. Ahbott's mother being in
Stowe on a visit and the doctor being
out on professional calls. On walk
ing toward the house after putting up
his automobile. Dr. Abbott saw a light
in his house but at first thought it was
a- reflection from a street light. As
he looked, however, the light went out,
arousing suspicion that someone was in
the house.
Hurrying to the house Dr. Abbott
looked in the front door and saw- the
form of a man, the figure disappearing
toward the back, door of the house as
the doctor approached, using a flash
light , Dr. Abbott rushed into the
house arjd looked about for some weap
on with which to attack the burglar.
Meanwhile the burglar fled by a rear
door, which had been opened earlier in
the evening by him.
Although he could not find a weap
on, Dr. Abbott started in pursuit and
the chase led off the rear piazza
through a tangle of brush to the rear
of the residences of Christopher Arnold
and Mrs. C. K. Hepburn. Being more
familiar with the surroundings. Dr.
Abbott gained on the fugitive and in
the garden of Mrs. Hepburn overtook
and seized the fugitive, who did not
show fight but endeavored to get away.
He did succeed in breaking away for
a moment, but Dr. Abliott got a ne'
hold, never once stopping to think that
the fellow miyht be armed. .
The two men wrestled in the dark
ness until they reached the street, the
doctor all the" time calling for assist
ance. His cies were heard by Dr. O.
V. Greene, who had just returned from
a professional call. Dr. Greene came
to the si-ene and partially choked the
intruder, then called upon Dr. Abbott,
to find Constable F. S. Blossom, jr. A
it hapiicned. Constable Blossom was en
tertaining Mr. and Mrs. A. Lee Cady
at cards, and the two men at once
responded, the constable taking char?"
of the prisoner.
Without further delay the prisoner
was searched and the $43,000 in securi
ties were found. There was nothing
to indicate where the securities came
from. The man was not armed. H
wa taken to the jail and will be ar
raigned liefore municipal court this aft
ernoon, after which he probably will
be taken to the county jail at Wood- ,
stock.
The man claimed to lie a stone
cutter. He was well dressed and of
good apinarance. He i rather under
medium size and elNiut the same build
as Dr. Abbott, and about middle-aged.
Investication at the home of Dr. Ab
bott disclosed that a screen in a rear
door had lieen cut and the door un
hasped and that a window in thtpool
room had been pried open. The burglar
had gained entrance by means of thi
window. It was found that all the jew
elrv in the house, a camera and small
change had been thrown into one of
Dr. Abbott's bag ready to be carried
away, but had been left there when the
thief wa detected in the act of loot
ing the house. .
