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.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Nov. 3.
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

boy, living with his mother -in a lone

How ho could have had knowledge
of tho train bandits' plans, either be
