 BLOCKS PLUME PLANS
Such is Unconfrmed Rumor at Paris Conference Where
 Feeling is Acute.

Paris, Oct. 30. (By the Associated Press )-Rumors received here that the American government had re- fused to accept the latest project put forward by Foreign Minister Tittoni for the settlement of the Plume question caused a display of deep emotion in Italian conference circles in Paris.
 Although no official confirmat ton of the rumor has been received the Italian delegation generally feels that the information is correct and the delegates are showing great disap- pointment. While the heads of the Italian mission maintain their cOur- teous, diplomatic manner lesser mem- bers of the delega ton are outspoken, saying the decision would prolong in definitely the perplexities and anXieties now facing the Italian government
 ''It is regrettable,' said one of the secretaries, that the abnegation with which the Italian government has eX- posed itself to unpOpularity in order to find an acceptable solution of the Adriatic problem or it's aVOWed pur- pose of maintaining, in spite of all, solidarity with it's allies has not succeeded in avoiding the decep- tion which now comes from Wash ington.'
 It appears to be the general feeling in Italian circles that Italy has reached the extreme limit of possible concessions and will stand on her present position. It is said Italy's position on her foreign policy will be consolidated by the coming elections and that parliament has resolved to sustain the government along the lines of Foreign Minister T1ttOnl's proposed settlement.
 The French newspapers generally concur in the Italian point of view, expressing surprise at the American srtrft1fGIc.

The trio motored to Meriden, where it is said that some of the ''joy juice that fell a victim to prohibition was in- dulged in and the party then decided to go to New Haven.

 On arrival in this city, it is alleged that I3aba announced that he had been put to some expense in gasoline bills, while Oshana also announced that his bankroll had been depleted considerably. Oshana went to war and did his bit. Today he was surprised to receive a call from a local con- stable, who attached his wages for $30, which Baba claims for the use of the automobile.
