GERMAN OFFER
IS CONSIDERED
Flat Rejection Proposed by
Paris - Brussels Would
Invite Further Parley

PARIS, June Shy The As
sociated Press)-Paris and Brus-
sells are keeping in constant COM
munication today, discussing the ad-
visa bility of making reply to the
German reparation note or ignor-
ing it entirely as not susceptible
of forming a basis for negotiation.
In the event a decision is reached
that reply be made, the French
government is reported to favor a
curt dismissal of Germany's latest
proposition. Belgium, on the con-
trary, is said to be desirous of
wording the acknowledgment in
such manner as might leave the
way open for a further parley.
The French foreign office main
tains an absolute official silence on
the subject, but the indications ap-
pear to be that reply Will be made
and that Germany will be requested
TO announce, once and for all, wheth-
er she intends TO continue or aban-
don her passive resistance in the
Ruhr.
The Belgian cabinet strongly IA
vors a common inter-allied reply
but 1t seems certain that joint ans
wer will be possible only If Londoi
agrees to leave no doubt il th'
mind of the Berlin government al
TO the absolute necessity of discon'
tinuing the Ruhr resistance. Upor
this point Belgium and France are
solidly agreed.
There has been no direct eommu-
nication between London and Paris
on the subject. the British viewpoint
being transmitted to the Qua
D'Orsay through Brussels.
The expectation here is that Grea'
Britain will agree that Germany
must admit defeat in the Ruhr and
that a Joint note will be elaborated
and dispatched to Berlin tomorrow

Now that all of the important

Bernard M. Cannon. county clerk
and Democratic leader in this coun-
ty, should continue to dodge sub
poena servers it is declared Cannon
during the past two weeks has had
an opportunity to study the testi-
mony of the other witnesses in the
case relative to the part he took in
having the ousted state highway
erty which had been appraised at
100000 and he should be well
versed in what has been covered
thur far in the investigation when
he takes the stand.
Reports from Newark yesterday
were to the effect that Cannon had
been seen there. he having gone to
that city to consult with counsel
as to his next move in the case. No
word had been received today.

by any of the state police who seek
him with subpoenaes.
will be called upon to explain what
he did with the $4,000 given to
him by the w. j. Donnell Lumber
Company, owners of the land which
was sold to the state. He will also
be quizzed as to what influential
officials in addition to George l..
Burton, the chairman of the ousted
commission he approached in or
der to assure the deal going
through.
Although these Influential Off
cials" nave been mentioned at
several times during the hearings to
date, Attorney General Thomas L.
McCran has been as yet unable to
force any of the witnesses to men
tion their names. The attorney gem
eral has been consuming consider
able time in trying to trace the
course of the $4,000 in bonds given
Cannon after the county clerk be-
came the possessor of them. Accord
ing to Burton, who admits accept
ing coupons from these bonds to
the amount of $255 which he says
were given him in settlement of
a political debt of three years stand
ing between Cannon and himself,
Cannon still possesses all of the
bonds originally given him with
the exception of a few which he
sold.
1t is the general opinion of those
who have closely followed the devel-
opments in the hearings that the
$4,000 in bonds given Cannon was
not the only money paid for "innu-
ence" in obtaining from the state
a price which was $4,000 in excess
of the value of the property as ap-
praised by the states own apprais-
ers. The attorney general has hint
ed more than once that he expects
to bring out the fact that more than
$4,000 was given for Influence"
Considerable significance has been
placed by McCran upon the purchase
