Premiers~ Expected to Meet
in Paris for Reparations
Discussion.
OUTLOOK is GLOOMY
British Greatly Disappointed
Over Attitude Expressed
by France,
By United Press

By United Press
LONDON, Aug. 23.-Prime
Minister Baldwin and Foreign
Minister Curzon may meet Pre-
mier Poincare in Paris in the
near future to discuss convoking
new allied conference to dis
cuss reparations, it was learned
reliably here this afternoon.
Well informed persons expected
Baldwin to confer with Curzon in
France within a few days. The
foreign minister is on a vacation In
Normandy.
That the French reply to the Brit
ish reparations note is extremely
disappointing, was learned from well
informed sources today.
While the government still declined
official comment. pending receipt Of
the Belgian reply, there was no Sc
cret that little hope could be CLEANED
from Poincare's uncompromising
statement of thesF'rench position.
Look To Belgium
Some officials still found a frag-
ment OF hope in the possibility the
Belgian reply might offer some hope
for the continuance OF the entente,
but others more matter of fact. rea-
lized the Belgian document probably
would be little more than a re-state-
ment of the French position, with
emphasis on Balgium's priority claims
on German reparations.
It seemed to be the general opinion
that continuance of the official cor
respondence would lead only to repe
tition of the endless pickering that
has marked Franco-British repara-
tons exchanges up to this time.
Action Difficult
1t was admitted. however. that
Poincare's statement. was cleverly
worded, and that separate action by
Great Britain would be difficult with
out affording France an opportunity
to make a strong appeal ITO world
opinion.
In other words, the French premier
still has kept Prime Minister Baldwin
in the position of having to assume
the major responsibility for a final
rupture in the entente.

FOR TELEPHONE
FIGHT MEETING
Conference Opens at SEVERN
This Afternoon-S8,O0O
Fund Is Discussed,

Mayors and other officials from In
diana cities affected by increased
telephone rates, following order in
Federal Court at Chicago, opened

Mayor Eli Seebert of South Bend.
president Of the league, said COM
mittee of three mayors would be
named to confer with Attorney Gen
eral Lesh and the public service COM
mission.
First steps in the fight, it is said.
will be discussion of financing and
employment of engineers services. A
fund of $4,000 will be asked.
Seebirt expressed surprise that In
dianapolis has appropriated only
$1,000, stating he believed this city
could afford more.
On the contention that Federal
Courts have no Jurisdiction in intra-
State utility rates. the State legal de-
partment will carry the telephone
company's injunction suit to the
United States Supreme Court in the
event the public service commission
loses, Attorney General U. S. Lesh
said today. The State legal depart
ment, assisted by the public service
commission, will fight against making
permanent the temporary restraining
ordeR granted the company recently
by Federal Judge Page at Chicago.
The company's injunction suit, ask
ing the commission be restrained from
interfering with increased telephone
rates, will be tried in October in the
local Federal Court before three
judges.
Lesh said today he would retain
George NJ. Barnard and Fred Van
Nuys as special counsel for the State
in the case. Mayors OF the twelve cities
affected by the increased rates will
meet in conference Friday afternoon
at the Hotel SEVERN.

Five CouncIImen IndorSe Or
dinance Urged by
The Times,
TO LESSEN AUTO WRECKS
Motorists Would Be Required
to Pause at Railroad
Crossings.

If an ordinance compelling
otorists to come to a complete
stop before crossing railroads is
introduced in city council it will
receive the support of a majority
Of members, it was learned to-
day.
Plans for the ordinance have al
ready been made as an amendment
TO the present traffic law requiring
stops at boulevards and preferential
streets, and may be introduced at
the next meeting Of council Sept. by
Councilman Wise, Claycombe or
Pramblett.
Suggestion for the ordinance was
made by the Times on receipt Of a
letter from B. A. Worthington, pres
ident of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis
and Western Railroad, that the stop
measure would protect life and prop
erty at dangerous crossings.
Buchanan Opposed.
Councilmen Wise. Claycombe. King.
Bramblett and Bernd today voiced ap-
proval of such a measure. Council
man Buchanan opposed IT.
don't see why all the safety
moves should be up to the motorist," !"
said Buchanan today. ITS up to the
railroads to cooperate. They should
be required to regulate train speed in
the city, establish watchmen at cross
ings, and be compelled to sound warn
ings."
Councilman Bernd, while favoring
the stop ordinance for motorists, said
railroads should be required to reduce
train speed and sound warnings.
Introduction Considered
Wise and Bramblett said they had
considered introduction of a stop or
dinance. Claycombe said he would
be IN favor Of the measure as soon as
the public absorbed present traffic
regulations
Councilmen King and Bernd point
ed out that other cities and States
have similar laws.
Attaches at the Hoosier Motor Club
today opposed the measure. While
not speaking officially, they saw
Worthington's suggestion as a move
10 relieve railroads of liability in case
Of accident, If it could be proven that
motorists failed TO stop.
1t was also said the measure would
give a free hand to railroads and
would encourage reckless train op-
