SAYS LEOPOLD GLAND VICTIM
To Hold Conference on Inter-Allied Debts
REPRESENTATIVES OF
U. S. NOT PARTIES TO
THE LATEST DECISION
LONDON.—A conference on the
question of inter-allied debts will
be held in the near future, it has
been definitely decided, Premier
Herriot, of France, announced Sat
urday just before he left for Paris
for a conference with his cabinet on
the work of the international con
ference.
The French delegates had been
working persistently to bring about
such an inter-allied debt tiscussion
since the present conference open
ed. It is understood that it has not
yet been decided whether the new
conference will be held in Paris or
London. It was emphasized that
the United States representatives
were not parties to the decision to
hold the debt parleys.
LONDON—Marshal Foch will
probably cast the vote which will
decide the fate of the London inter
national conference for putting the
Dawes reparation settlement plan
into effect, in the opinion of many
observers here of the proceedings of
the conference.
He is the last authority on mili
tary matters in France and Premier
Herriott and his associates, who
are leaving this afternoon for Paris,
must have his approval of the
agreement to evacuate the Ruhr, it
is declared before definite action
can be taken on a multitude of tech
nical questions which will turn
about the military and political
pivot.
Premier Herriot's trip to Paris
has somewhat dampened the op
timism which has prevailed in con
ference circles and the return of
the French delegates which is set
for Monday is awaited with consid
erable uneasiness.
HOUSE PASSES TWO
BILLS INTENDED TO
INCREASE'REVENUE
ATLANTA. Ga—Working away on
the remainder of its slate, with this
session of the Georgia general as
sembly in its fast dying hours, the
house oN representatives Saturday
passed two measures aimed to in
crease the revenue of the stats.
One of the measures adopted was
an amendment to the present tobac
co tax law, introduced by Represen
tative Milner of Docge. at the re
quest of Governor Walker and the
state revenue commissioner. It clari
fies the tobacco tax law, the con
stitutionality of which was upheld re
cently by the state supreme court.
The amendment defines a retail and
wholesale tobacco dealer and requires
retailers to stamp tobacco products
when they receive them from the
wholesaler.
The other legislation adopted was
a measure by Representative Davis
of Floyd which requires tax collec
tors to keep records of occupational
taxes collected by them.
A third measure—one which amends
and clarifies the general tax act, and
which also is intended tfc augment tne
state treasury—was then taken up for
consideration.

ate on Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday. to be ready for a vote on
their third reading.
