meeting between President Harding
and Ex-President Wilson sometime af-
ter March 4. in order to clear up some
OF the be-clouded aspects % the Paris
peace conference is regarded as not
unlikely by the advisers of the new
president.
While senator Harding has been
md stuI is largely occupied with the
formation OF his cabinet and with the
numerous other matters incidental to
his entrance into the presidency a
week hence. he nevertheless has been
following with keen interest develop
Snents in Washington. He has been
particularly interested in the develop
ments concerning the allied indebted
ness TO the United States. realizing
that this problem will be one of the
hrst and most pressing which will
face his administration at the outset.
President Wilson'S communication
20 the senate OF the fact that there
was an understanding with the French
and British at Paris relative to the
acceptance OF German bonds in lieu
o. BelEium's deots came as a surprise
TO Harding headquarters here.
Morgan and company. who was one OF
President Wilson's chief financial ad-
visers at the PARIS conference inform
ed Senator Harding In a conference
here that he would be "as free as the
air. in dealing with foreign debt
problems.
Lamont, in a. public statement after
the conference with the president
elect. declared that so far as he knew.
there were no commitments of any
kind at Paris on the debt problem and
that in future dealings the administra-
tion would be unhampered in any way.
In order to deal tntelligently with
tho foreign relations Of tho new al
ministration. II viii be necessary. It
was pointed out here today. for Sena
tor Harding TO re informed fully on
the understandings that were reached
at Paris. II is believed BY those
around the new president. that only
one man can supply this information
and that is President Wilson. Hence.
a meeting Is regarded as not unlikely.
A conference between Senator Hard
ing and President Wilson last Decem-
Der came very close to being brought
about when Senator Harding was in
Washington. At that time Senator
Harding did not feel like requesting
such a conference and the president
did not see fl TO extend a formal in
vltetion, so the matter fell through.
The relative situations will be who'll
" changed after March 4 as President
Senator Harding can with perfect pro
priety invite Woodrow Wilson. as q
private citizen, TO a conference with
the assurance also that such an invl-
tation would probably be accepted
with alacrity. In the opinion Of some
of the presidenJ-e elects closest advis-
ers, some such meeting is necessary
II clear up manv aspects OF the for
eign situation which have been Be
clouded with conflicting testimony and
conflicting Views.
The cabinet situation remained un-
changed today 50 far as could De
learned here. The cabinet has been
tentatively selected, except for some
uncertainty regarding the labor up-
pointment and unless there are some
unforeseen developments. will stand a.
selected according to those close tc
the president-clect.

SLACKER LISTS SOON READY. Have Been Held Back for Ruling by
 Attorney General.

Washington, April 26.-Neither the government nor any individual officer of the government could be held liable at law for the erroneous inclusion of names in the stacker draft lists pre- pared by the war department for pub lication, Attorney General Daugherty holds in an opinion sent today to Sec retary Weeks.
 MT. Daugherty said the opinion did not pass upon the liability of news papers for publishing such names but thatNhe did not believe they could be held liable, since the lists would be official ones, previously published by the government.
 The draft stacker lists have been prepared for some weeks, but their publication has been held up pending receipt of Mir. Daugherty's opinion by Secretary Weeks. The war de- partment head planned to study the opinion tonight and his decision as to the publication of the lists was ex- pected to be announced soon.

ROUTES OF ROADS CAN'T BE CHANGED
In Case of J. E. Nunes vs. Alex Coyle, Supreme Court Reverses Chancellor SShaver-Halts Condemnation Pro-
 ceedings in Circuit Court.

A decision of the Supreme Court against the commissioners of the Jefferson Highway, reversing the de- cision of Chancellor Shaver in refus- ing to grant an injunction asked by J. E. Nunes, has halted condemnation proceedings started in the circuit court. By agreement the cases in the circuit court were held up to await the higher courts decision and now that it has decided against the commissioners, no further action will be taken for the present.
 Norwood & Alley, attorneys for the commissioners, state they will await receipt of the official order of the Supreme court before deciding what the next steps will be in both the condemnation and the Nunes cases.
 The Arkansas Gazette says of the Supreme courts decision:
 Roads for which improvement dis tricts are formed under the Alexander law must follow the routes for which the petitioners have asked, it was held yesterday by the Supreme Court in the case f~J. K. Nunes vs. Alex Coyle and others, commissioners, an appeal from Polk Chancery Court.
 According to the evidence Road Improvement District No. 1 of Polk county was organized under the Alex ander law. After the plans and speci- fications had been adopted, upon the advice of the engineer, portion of the roadbed, estimated at three and one-half miles, was changed, so as to abandon the public road and run along route which had not been laid out as public road. J. k. Nunes, one of the petitioners for the district, ob- jected to this change and obtained a temporary injunction restraining the commissioners and contractors from proceeding with construction along this injunction was dissolved, the court finding that the change was to the best interests of the district From this order Nunes appealed. The Supreme Court held that this change in the plans necessarily constituted the substitution of a new route for the one specified in the original plans upon which the petition of property owners was based, and was therefore contrary to jaw Tine court said that this change could not be considered as one of those minor changes which perfect the general plan, but was one which changed a substantial portion of the designated route, and that the injunction should have been granted !"

NEW MOVE TO DUST GoMPERs
Coup" Is Planned by Progressives
 and Radicals, It Is Learned.

Washington, April 25.-A new movement to oust Samuel Gompers as president of the American Federation of Labor is being organized, it is learned here. A "coup" is planned by the progressives and the so-called rad icals. of the labor movement to elect John l.. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, which has the largest voting strength in the fed eration, to succeed the veteran.
 Heretofore. when a candidate has been named to oppose the aged labor leader, it has been either leader oi the radicals or progressives. Lewis belongs to the administration forces and the election of the Gompers ad- ministration each year has been due to the support of the coal mners union and the International Brother. hood of Carpenters, the two largest organizations in the federation, it is claimed.
