WITH L GEORGE
PARIS, May . Premier Miller
and is going to London next week to
onfer with David Lloyd George,
British prime minister, regarding fi
nancial questions. It is expected nn
ugreement will be reached with regard
to execution of the reparation clauses
of the treaty at Versailles.
The premiers will olso agree on th
bnsis of the discussions to be held
with the German representatives ut
tho Spn meeting May 25.
The French viewpoint is that they
will not discuss the principle of any
clause of the treaty and will take up
with the Germans only the manner of
npplving tho treaty's terms.
What virtually amounts to a modi
fication of tho reparations clause will
be discussed in the form of proposed
minimum and maximum totals of
reparations.
Tho Trench probably will not nc
ccpt a lower minimum than 100 bil
lion marks gold, but are likely to
consent to fixing the minimum repa
ration payable bv Germany at 1")0.
000,000,000 marks, which was the
limitli (ho American experts reported
thev found Germany able to pay.
Tho minimum sum may be divided
into annuities of 3, 000. 000,000 marks,
as discussed ut San Hemo.

the western line of imperial valley,

way inland through San Diego coun
ty nnd then carried it in his arms
to n spot ho could not reach bv auto

excavation. He said it was drapped
in canvas and otherwise nude.
Tlio discovered facts all tallied with
this statement.
Tho prisoner was tho center of at
traction nt El G'entro this morning
nnd later at Coyoto Wells and hen.
lie was nervous, nnd asked one of the
deputies whether .there was danger of
violence, but when ho was ro-nssurDri
he became relatively calm and talked
on many topics.
lie objected seriously, however, lo
the numerous photographers, armed
with everything from pocket cameras
to motion picture equipment, who
tried to get snaipshots nnd negatives
of his every move. lie repeatedly
Ihrew his arms before his face to hide
his features, and pleaded with his
guards lo stop tho photographing.
They declined to interfere.

At the scene of tho discovery Wnt

He said: "My friends. I have come

to request that I bo not worried' with
questions or requests for pictures
until the body is uncovered."
