oInClalS SAID To-Day that premier
Poincare's notification of the will
ingness of France to accept the com
mission plan, subject to the stipula-
tion that the commissioners be NAM
ed by the reparations commission,
had not yet reached the state de-
partment. Pending it's arrival, it was
added, the United States govern
ment can merely watch develop
ments and await the results of ne
gotiations which may be in progress
between London and Paris and other
European capitals.
The CurZon communication which
was so phrased as to develop a re-
statement of the position of the Am
erican government on three different
suggested methods of dealing with
the reparations situation, manifestly
has been view here as n preliminary
to negotiations among the Euro
pean powers, possibly eliminating
in a formal invitation to the Unit
ed State to join in an economic con-
ference or in the setting up of an
economic commission. Until. there
is more definite knowledge as to the
, nature and progress of those nego-
tiations, however, American officials
have declined to predict whether the
British move Is destined to meet
with any degree of success.
Although the American govern
ment stands ready to enter a Euro
pean reparations conference having
a full attendance of allied powers, 1t
is not willing to agree beforehand to
a meeting at which there might be
empty chairs.
Thus, in substance, has Secretary
II11o hna ran1iad fn fhn 1afocf
ture from abroad for American in
tervention to untangle the interna-
tional snarl over the collection Of
war indemnity from Germany. For
the moment, officials are content not
to elaborate on the secretary's pro-
nouncement, or to predict what ef-
feet it may have on the British ef-
fort, to at last obtain some semb-
lance of a worldwide effort to solve
the ills of the European continent.
There were indications today,
however, that with the subject re-
opened important developments
might follow. What would be their
direction no one cared to predict.
With Great Britain apparently
friendly to the conference principle,
attention now turns to France whose
objections heretofore have made a
full participation by all the Allies in
such a consultation impossible. What
measure of confidence in French CO.
operation may have actuated Lord
Curzon to dispatch his message of
inquiry to Washington is not known
here, and officials seems inclined to
await some official expression from
Paris before they venture an opinion
as to whether the British foreign
secretary's venture has succeeded or
failed.

RETURNS
FROM MEETING
Gratified Over Adoption of
Constitution by Y. M. C. A.
Men at Cleveland

After having played a leading part
in the holding of what he termed
zone of the greatest history making
conventions in the history of the
Young Mems Christian Association
movement" former Judge Adrian
Lyon has returned to his home in
this city greatly elated over the
adoption by the convention of a con-
stitution, parts of which were the
product of the local mans fertile
brain.
The convention, held in Cleveland
for more than a week and attended
by 400 of the biggest men in the
country, was called for the purpose
of considering the adoption of con-
stitution which will guide the thou
sands of Y. M. c. A. organizations
inethe future. In order that the con-
vention might have something to
work upon, tentative constitutions
were drawn up by several of the
most prominent Y. M. C. A. men in
the country, Mr.. Lyon, president of
the Perth Amboy association, being
one of those to draw up a constitu-
tion which he believed would fill the
needs of the organization.
At the convention the former local
judge was the predominating figure,
he having been chosen chairman of
the Committee of Sixty" to which
body all matters of importance were
referred before they came before the
convention for action. This commit
tee served in the capacity of CO.
ordinating or steering committee and
Mr.. Lyon as it's head was similar to
floor leader.
Former Judge Lyon was chair
man of the COMMITTEE of Thirty
Three" which arranged the conven-
tion and was at once further hon
ored at the opening of the conven-
tion by being made chairman of the
larger committee consisting of six
teen members. He this morning re-
ceiVed from the secretary of the
convention a letter thanking him on
behalf of the association for his SER
vices. Although Mr.. Lyon was loath
to tell much of his activities, the
letter of thanks would indicate that
the Perth Amboy's man conscienti-
Gus efforts had much to do with the
adoption of the constitution.
The constitution, as adopted, is
the unity of many suggestions and
out of the difference of opinion on
important issues a strong united
plan was evolved which will tend
to unite the brotherhood of Y. M. c..
AS, and make it more efficient IN
the future. The final action of the
convention in adopting the constitu-
ton was taken with the utmost
unanimity, Mr.. Lyon said, with great
cheering and rejoicing by the dele
gates who had worked hard to
bring about this end.
The constitution will be edited by
Subcommittee of Chairman Lyon s
Committee OF thirty-three" after
which it will bs submitted through
the national organ, Association
Men" to the various associations for
referendum vote on its adoption.
The constitution will be printed in
the December number of "Associa-
tiol Men" and all of the votes must
be cast by the last day of February.
President Samuel Rea. of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Which main
tains Y. M. G. AS in many parts of
the country for its employees, sent
the following telegram to Mr.. Lyon
urging liberality in framing the con-
stitution:

Need Definite Policy

BERLIN, Oct. &c (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-Political leaders close
to the government believe that
Chancellor Stresemann is CONFRONT
ed with the immediate necessity of
adopting a definite policy toward the
Rhineland in view of the Roadway
made by the Separatists during the
last week.
Oficiar quarters are inclined to
admit that the secession movement
is developing more strength despite
what they term the heroic opposi-
tion of the German population.
The plan of having the Rhine
land converted into an autoh1mous
state within the German republic
was seriously discussed in the course
of DIR. Stresemann's conference with
the Ruhr and Rhineland leaders at
Hagen last night. Lord Mayor Ad-
enauer of Cologne and various polit-
ical and Industrial leaders urged
upon. the chancellor and the cabi-
net members who accompanied him
the necessity OF definite action by
the Berlin government

HAYESFA|LS To
CALLFOR BOOKS
Democratic County Chairman
Has Not as Yet Secured
Records
KALTEISSEN WANTS REPLY
Democratic Candidate for
FreehoIder Says Janitors
Can't Keep Busy

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 26. -
Although County Democratic Com
n1ittee Chairman Edmund A. Hayes
declared yesterday afternoon he
might call at the office of County
Theasurer F. William Hilker to
peruse the records of the expendi-
lures made by the Republican Board
of Freeholders, he failed to do so.
This morning Treasurer Hilker
was found in his office where he
said he had yet to see or hear from
Hayes. Hilker said he failed to un-
derstand why Hayes had not called
for the records which he was so anx-
ious to secure the early part of the
week.
Klemmer Kalteissen, of New
Brunswick, one of the three Demo-
cratic candidates for freeholder, this
! afternoon issued a statement in
which he aims to show conclusively
that there is no need for six janitors,
two bosses, a plumber and a night
watchman at the two county build
ings. These men are engaged pri-
marily to work for the freeholders
in gathering in votes for them, the
aspirant for freeholder declares, and
the work actually done by them N
the county buildings amounts to lit
tie. One man has so much leisure
time in the summer he had an ice
route, Kalteissen charges, which he
takes care of during the hours he is
supposed to be at work for the
county. Spare time on the hands of
janitors also resulted in one of them
attempting to make q "hennery" of
the county buildings, the Democratic
candidate further states.
"Do the Board of Freeholders in
tend to wait until the day before
election, to answer all the questions
asked of them by County Chairman
Hayes of the Democratic party"
asked Klemmer Kalteissen, Demo-
cratic candidate for freeholder, in a
public statement issued today.
"After many days of waiting, the
freeholders have consented to tell
the taxpayers that only six janitors
are employed in caring for the coun-
ty record building and the 6ourt
house They admit The janitors re-
ceive $115 per month. They state
that one man is employed as plum
ber and receives $140 per month,
and another man receives $115 for
watching the county record build
ing at night, and that they are not
classified as janitors.
"The freeholders neglect to say
that the janitors employed about
these buildigns have two bosses in
addition to the freeholders them

LONDON SEES
CONFERENCE
Americas Clear Cut Declara-
ton Brings Reparations
Farley Nearer is Belief

LONDON, Oct. 26.-(By The As
sociated Press)-Omcial British
opinion concerning the response of
Secretary of State Hughes to Lord
Curzon's reparation conference in
vitation is cautious and reserved,
broadly. however, there is a feeling
in the government departments that
Americas clear cut declaration
brings an international conference
on reparations appreciably nearer.
1t is felt here that France can
only decline to accept such con-
ference at the peril of isolation from
the rest of the world.
Invitations were sent to France
and Belgium some days ago and 1t
is expected both countries will ac-
cept the conference idea in princi-
pie, provided it Is convened as a
committee under the jurisdiction OF
the reparation commission.
While the general attitude of the
United States on a reparation con-
ference was already well known, the
British government appears to be
much gratified to have the Coolidge
administration restate 1t so specifi-
cally and clearly on paper.
There is a distinct feeling of sat
qsfaction over the helpful, friendly
tone OF the renewed offer of copo-
Grafton, but the officials here are
under no delusion as to how far the
United States can go in its partict-
patton in n reparation settlement,
especially as it reserved decision re-
garding it's course of action in the
event of French declination to join.
1t Is believed here that Americas
action will be limited to the partici-
patton of an expert like j. p. Nor
gan as in the case of the technical
bankers committee appointed last
year under supervision of the rep
aration commission. 1t is held that
one of the most satisfactory results
of the Hughes note is that it facili-
tates the establishing of such
technical committee of inquiry to de-
termine Germany's capacity, and
that IL France enters it she will
have to scale down her original rep
aration total which was the rock up
on which last years committee
split.
The feeling among the British
people generally Is that there is
much encouragement for the rest of
Europe in the implied promise of the
Washington government, as con-
strued here, that If the debtor ma
tions reduce their military outlay
and work together to achieve aims
of peace and justice United States
will not fail to give it due recogni-
ton In connection with the time and
terms of the payment of debts owed
to America.

BARNEY CANNON FAR FROM
BEING DEAD, IT SEEMS

Considerable excitement was
caused in this city today by report
that Bernard M. Cannon, the county
clerk, had dropped dead. This report
proved to be incorrect, however, the
man who had died being Thomas
Gavin, a janitor employed by the
freeholders to care for the county
buildings. AIr. Gavin, a resident of
New Brunswick, passed away yester-
day afternoon at his home, where
he had been confined, due to falling
health, for some weeks past. The
spread like wildfire and the phone in
rumor that Mr.. Cannon was dead
the store of Cannon e. Sheehy here
was kept busy by inquiries from Mr..
Cannon many friends.

peCtedIy at His Home in
Schenectady, N. Y.

SCHENECTADY, Oct. 26.-Dr.
Charles Proteus Steinmetz, electri-
cal wizard, died at his home here

seemed to give way, and he died i'm
mediately
The exact cause of his death was
given in statement by his physicians
as follows: --,. .,..,..
"Dr. steinmetz died suddenly a
few minutes after 8 O'Clock this
morning of acute dilation of the
heart, following a chronic myocar-
ditis of many years standing, which
is a weakening of the heart mus
cles."
When DR.. steinmetz died, there
was no one with him, his nurse hav-
ing left the room few moments
earlier. One of his adopted grand
sons, William Hayden, entering the
room with his breakfast, was the
first to notice his condition.
Soon after he awoke this morning
DIR. Steinmetz told his nurse that
he was feeling fine" Last night
he spent much time chatting with
members of his adopted family.
about technical matters. This morn
ing after his death, there was
found on his desk a scientific book
with several passages marked for his
grandson to read.

Quinn to Speak Later


Due to the fact that Arthur A.
Quinn, president of the New Jersey
State Federation of Labor, was de-
tained in Philadelphia last night on
labor matters, it was impossible for
him to appear as speaker at the
meeting scheduled to be held at the
City Democratic Clubs headquarters
last night. Because of this and
the fact that no arrangements had
been made to have many of the can
didates present, 1t being the desire
of the club to allow Mr.. Quinn the
entire evening in which to talk,
the meeting was postponed until a
future date.
OF the large audience which had
gathered to hear Mr.. Quinn, many
went to the sixth ward where a
meeting was in progress. Mr.. Quinn
telegraphed the club late yesterday
afternoon that he could not be pres
ent.
Next week the large county and
city meeting is scheduled to be held
in the auditorium here and all those
who attended last nights session
were urged to be present at that
meeting, when Governor George S.
Silzer is scheduled to be the prin-
cipal speaker.
