 PALMER PROBE PRECEDENCE

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 7.-Investiga- ton of Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal mer's connection with the soft coal con- spiracy case is expected to take precde- ence over the case itself tomorrow when 1t ls called for trial in the federal dis trict court of Judge A E. Anderson. A continuance is asked by the government 1t is expected due to the resignation ua Dan W. Simms, of Lafayette, assistant district attorney, and the inability of Mir. Simms and L.

JEssERsAND COMING WITH
 LATEST VIEWS ON THE l.. OF N.

Washington, Nov 7.-(By The A. P.) Jules Jusserand. the French ambassa- dor, who went home several months ago on leave and who later was assigned to special duty in connectio with the set clement of the Polish question, is to re- turn to Washington on November 24. He is expected to bring with him the latest views of his government regarding the reeasting of the league of nations cove nant and to be prepared to discuss the subject with the officials of the Harding administration as soon as they are in office and ready to proceed.
 It has long been known in diplomatic circles in Washington that the principal allied powers were prepared to go far towards meeting any desire of the American government for changes in the plan of the covenant, but it has been stated in at least one important quarter that such changes must in no case vio. late the underlying principles of the con- Yention. Diplomats generally do not be- lieve that such changes could be made
 by reservations such as were proposed in the so-called Lodge plan.
 In their opinion amendments would be necessary. They would require the ap. proval of the various signatory powers Another matter that will engage the
 attention of Ambassador Jusserand is the status of the commercial relations be. tween the United States and France un- der existing treaties. France last spring
 gave notice to all powers with which she ] had commercial treaties of the termina. tion of these conventions; her purpos. being to replace them with a complete | set of new treaties shaped to meet the new conditions in trade an/ commerN resulting from the war Before the de nunciation took effect, however, tn, French government withdrew the notic, so far as it concerned the United States France, however, has not abandoned I her plan of revising her commercial l treaties and is understood to be defer 1 ring the opening of negotiations with tn, i United States until after the change | of administrations in Washington ol next March 4th. Before the negotiation l are opened. M. Jusserand is expected t
 acquaint himself with the plans of tn, republican leaders in the matter of tar l if revision, which might greatly inau
 ence the character of any new commmer
 cial convention.
 1 The ambassador also is expected t
 make a close survey of the situation ir ment upon the prospects of success il case it should decide to renew it's effort. ] to secure approval by the senate of tn l treaty which would guarantee protection | for France against external aggression for a period of five years. Failure of tht l original effort in that direction resulte i in the abandonment of a similar Franco British treaty.
