Lloyd T. Reynolds to refund to the

session was not challenged In court,
Reynolds declared he would feel
better If he refunded the sum.
He is actually loser $235 for the

NAVAL PARLEY
WORRIED OVER
FRENCH CRISIS
London VT Undercurrents ot
apprehension with regard to pos
sible consequences of the Frencn
political situation were aisoemiote
Friday among delegates to the five
power naval conierence wno re
mained in London over the week
end.
The question uppermost In moss
minds was what will happen to the
conference If the government crisis
Is not settled by next Wednesday
when the present week's recess will
be concluded.
London hoped Camllle Chau-
temps would be able to secure a
majority In the French chamber
for the cabinet which he succeeded
Friday In forming. However, as
one French observer put It: "noth
ing at all Is certain about what IS
going to happen in Paris.
"A government, such as that of
M. Ctututemps may receive endorse
ment, and the conference continue
next week; but again then Is a
good chance that any new govern
ment will last but a few days ana
that consequently the French dele
gation at London again will be
come an orphan. Several govern
ments may rise and fall in the next
few weeks and ineanwhle the con
ference will be unable to proceed."
Although the chiefs of the dele
gations at least publicly show no
disposition to view the future with
any great gloom. It is said that
Secretary Stimson and Prime Min
ister MacDonald' In a conversation
Thursday discussed their fears of
further prolongation of the confer
ence and probable effect upon
world opinion.
