When Captain Roberts of the prison guard read the death war rant to him Jeffords held his hands behind him, his only request being that his personal belongings be sent home. Entering the death chamber, ho greeted the witnesses with a calm, 'Good morning, gentlemen," and sat down in the death chair without as sistance.

Despite what progress may have been made toward extending A merican aid in composing the reparations disagreement in Eu rope, there was evidence here today that much remains to be done before all the interested elements can be brought into agreement. There is no assurance so far that F'rance; whose interest in the repara artins settlement is a very direct one. will agree to a proposal for an Ameri can commission to fix the " basis on which a new reparations program might be framed. Officials in Washington are-seeking to minimize 'so far ' as possible any direct action they have taken in the discussion and to emphasize in what they have done they have acted in an unofficial capacity. There was not clear cut denial, how ever, that the whole proposition of an American commission had been takled over with Secretary Hughes and the foreign interests. '. By the Associated Press.

The senate similarly .has ' taken this action. - v; tew days thousands of.pecle have carefully made their selections. The more substantial articles arc still plentiful, " though there rnav be a scarcity of toys and the like. Natui ally this is to be; expected. Still, they are fairly plentiful. The weather has been a drawback to many people. The roads have be gun early to show the effects of much ram, some freezes and a great, deal of traffic, but the warm sunshine yesterday along with a stiff breeze helped them materially and the going ought to be good today and tomor row. On the streets lonj? before neon there, were throngs of shoppers many of them from a distance and they will be here all day and tomoi row. The night crowd was large and as the onloioker paused on Union square, he saw several fathers part company with several mother?, the womenfolk entering the stores to make purchases and the men easing over to the picture shows for an hour of pleasure. Men are not noted for their shopping- desires. Or perhaps these wives had sent the husbands in the picture shpw in order to insure surprise next Monday morning.
