LONDON, Aug. S.-Premier Poin-
cares proposals for allied supervision
of Germany's Internal financial Affairs
are strongly opposed by British ex-
perts. who have given them careful
study during tho twenty-four hours
since they were submitted to the al
lied representatives at the London
conference.
The British interpret the French
plan as the equivalent of a receiver
ship for Germany that would neces.
state the allies taking over almost
bodily administration OF Germanys
internal affairs.
British officials believe this view
represents that section of French
opinion which desires the subjection
and impover!shment OF Germany
rather than giving her an opportunity
TO recover. These officials advocate
moratorium and n reduction of the
reparations payments.
But the British and French hold
widely divergent views as to actual
methods and n solution of their Diff

opposing policies are reconciled.
Many representatives at the con-
ference are pessimistic over the nos
sibilities OF reaching n definite agree
ment. admitting that the best that
can he hoped for Is a basis of un-
derstanding for another conference
with an Investigating commission
named to make A thorough study OF
the situation in the interim.

man favored only six weeks sus-

ductive guarantees attached. Horne

sion along with the Senate. after the

tions which thus far have failed to
react favorably to efforts on the part
OF the executive.

Claimed by authorities to be close

Baskervilles" murder mystery once
solved In fiction by Sherlock Holmes,
the death OF a. Bise. n rancher, has
taken its place among California's $
many sensational murder cases.

beyond recognition by dogs, was
found in his ranch house near Ante

have been taken into custody. Charges
Of murder probably will be placed
against them. officials said. although
the couple deny connection with the
murder and say they believe coyotes
were responsible for the ranchman's
death.
Damaging Clues.
The authorities are working on
the theory that Rise was murdered
carried TO his bed. his clothing re-
moved. and the dogs set upon the
body to conceal the crime. An au-
topsy will be held to determine
whether this was the case or whether
Bise actually died when attacked by

Meanwhile. these clues OF n damag-
ing nature are claimed To have beon
found by officials investigating the
death Of Rise:
Of Bise's ranch house. marked with
tho teeth of doss.
Blse's unlacod shoes. marked with
the teeth OF dog-couplcd with tho
fact that there were no wounds on
tho dead mans feet.

Bloodstains around the Belardi

hind the door OF Blse's house.
All OF B!se's clothing turned inside
