 Taken from Jury-Not Sufficient

 Philadelphia. Jan. 2S.-Judge Fer guson in criminal court today, grant ed the motion of the defense to take from the jury the case of William P.

Paris. Jan. 2s (By Associated Press) The divergence of views of the members of the Allied supreme council regarding German reparations caused an interruption of the confer ence today and in some quarters it is regarded as in danger of breaking up.

BaSis Of Discussion,

journed this noon after two hour discussion. .#
 Basis Of Discussion.
 The basis of the discussion was the proposal by M. Jasper. Belgian for eign minister that Germany be com pelled to make annual reparation pay ments of 5000, ,0o0, 900. gold marks as q maximum, and 5000. 100000 marks as a minimum. As outlined by NJ. Jasper in a statement last night his plan would not fix the number of annual payments but would leave this to be determined at some later time.
 The Belgian plan as elaborated by NJ Jasper before the committee this morning. was presented to MT. Lloyd George after the committee had com pleted its first session.
 Today Decisive One.
 Representatives of Great Britain. France. Italy, Belgium and Japan attending the session of the supreme Allied council in this city faced this morning what Premier Briand of France described as the decisive day" of the meeting.
 The committee charged with for mulating proposals relative to the amount Germany must pay the Allies and the method of payment sat far into the night in an effort to find some formula that would be accept able to all members of the council.
 Briand Impatient.
 M. Briand declared after yester- days meeting the separations ques- tion must be settled ''once and for all before Saturday night" and indicated he would not retreat from his stand that the total amount of German indemnities should not be fixed and that payment should be made under the annuity plan.

CANE GALL APPEARS
IN WESTERN WASHINGTON
Robinson Advises Cutting
and Burning All Infected
Canes

Cane gall has made its appearance
on Cuthbert raspberries in various
parts Of western Washington, accord
ing to Charles l.. Robinson. super
visor OF the division OF horticulture.
The canes are affected both above
and below the ground.
1.-THE only treatment Is to cut out
and burn every infected cane at once"
Mr.. Robinson states. "In every In
stance the history of the infected
canes show that they have come from
nursery stock which has never been
inspected, The habit OF getting stock
from other growers without inspec-
ton is responsible for the spreading
of many diseases affecting fruit.
1.-The only safe way is to insist on
having none but nursery stock that
has under gone thorough inspection
by the district horticultural inspec-
tor" states Supervisor Robinson.

Way Home to Visit Father and

United Press.
NEW YORK, July SACK Demp-

tied, speeding toward the west.
The conqueror of Georges Carpen-
tier, presumably is on his way to
Salt Lake to visit his mother and
family. He left suddenly last night
when the International Reform Blu
reau threatened to bring him into
court today to face charges OF as
sault and battery on the Frenchman.
Jack Kearns, his manager, did not
accompany him but he could not be
located here today.
Although Tex Richard suggested
that Dempsey could present a self.
defense plea inasmuch as the French
man hit him first in the contest, the
champion will not return until the
agitation Of the reformers has blown
over.
