TO RESIDENT President Cooiidge Views the Placing of Restrictions On Hughes' Plan Dooms the Proposed' Meeting to Failure Herrick Sees Poincare. PAUIS, Nov. 3. (By Associ ated Press.) Premier Poincare reaffirmed his reservation limit ing tho scope of tho proposed repartition conference lu a note liumled Ixird Ciircwc, tlio llrKlsh ambassador this afternoon, rc pnrdlinr the text of the Invitation of tho United States. PARIS, Nov. 3. Myron T. Herrick, tho American ambassador called on Premier Polnxaro today and had a loiiff conversation with him. The strictest secrecy regarding the subject of tho onferenco is maintained at tho French foreign office and tho American embassy. WASHINGTON, Nov. . 3. State- ntcnts at tho White House that Presi dent Coolidgo would view tho placing' of restrictions on tho proposed expert! committee Inquiry into Germany's ca- j pacity to pay reparations as commit ting tho plan to almost certain failure had a distinctly depressing effect to-, day on the entire outlook. j What effect tho indicated desiro of; Premier Poinco3 of-Franco to limit; tho scope of tho Inquiry may have on tho question of American participa tion was stated at tho White House when tho president's views were dis closed yesterday, to be as yet uncer tain. It remains to bo disclosed what stipulations Franco .may attach in joining tho allies In a formal invita tion for an unofficial American rep resentative on the committee and it was indicated much would depend on tho language In which they may be couched. Should they appear to place defin ite restrictions on tho scope of the inquiry it was Indicated that the Washington government probably would agree to American participa tion, but only after plainly stating its belief that an attempt to settlo the reparations question in that way would be futile. Such restrictions as press accounts of Premier Poincarc's recent public addresses indicate the French desire to place upon the inquiry wero said to. bo regarded by tho president as alter ing completely tho basis upon which tho original American proposal was made for a study of tho reparations problem. What was contemplated in that, It was said, as an essential con dition for any promise of success in the undertaking, "was a complete and inclusive," examination of tho whole question. On the question of selecting Amer ican representation on the proposed committee, it was said at the Whlto House that tho president had decided that both because of their ofCicial status and the necessary absence from Washington involved, no member of the cabinet would bo selected. rmnlnJ nt frntn 90 in 90 tn ntlP Zev as well as My Own und the three starters were given an easy gal lop before noon and then returned to the barn to await tho call of tho bugle.

The motive for tho brutal slaying of Fred Skeon, Dorris, Calif., rancher, was still a, mystery today so far -as local authorities 'know. Sheriff Low of Klamath county has deputies watching roads from California to tho Deschutes county lino. Nothing has doveloped to confirm a theory that tho murder was com mitted to conceal information Skeen might have had of the Siskiyou hold up. While the authorities were dis cussing a possibility that tho same gang which was rosponsiblo for tho Siskiyou holdup and Skeon's slaying they cinnot establish Kkeen's connec tion, lio was a simple, backwoods boy, living with his mother -in a lone ly, remote cabin with little inter course with the outside world. How ho could have had knowledge of tho train bandits' plans, either be fore or after tho holdup, is beyond the officers' comprehension. THOMPSON FALLS, Mont., Nov. 3. Mrs. Lulu B.
