NEW YORK, October 17.-Some of
the coal operators who recently con-
ferred with Gov. Pinchot of Pennsyl-
vania at Harrisburg declined his de-
mand to stop selling coal to profiteer-
ling dealers. 1t was learned today in
authoritative quarters. The governor,
1t was said, had asked operators to
discontinue selling to these dealers
because they charged more than the
executive stated was necessary to
meet increased wages.
The operators, 1t Is understood, told
the governor that the coal companies
could not act in concert in selling
coal, as this would violate the law
and also lay themselves open to
charges of monopoly. They told the
governor they had to mine and sell
coal within the law.

on Harry. the seventeen-year-old son
of the slain couple, who is being

ness.
The boys story tallies in every

gave the alarm after finding the
bodies of his parents. and there is
every indication that he is innocent"
declared States Attorney d. Angle
Wolfinger. IF that boy committed
tho crime he is criminal"
concluded the states attorney.
No Motive Established.
The police have made no headway
in solving the crime since the mo-
ment they picked up the heavy dog
iron" spattered with blood, with
which the Mennonite trucker and his
wife were slain.
There has been no motive estab-
lished. First believing that there had
been trouble between the father and
son. the police have been forced to
abandon this theory because of the
statement of neighbors that mo par
ents ever had better son than
Harry" They were forced also to
give up the robbery theory when ssI
in 4 roll of bills was found in a bu-
reau drawer which easily could have
been found had a search of the house
been made. Later nearly S400 more
in bills of small denomination was
discovered secreted in other parts of
the house.
Hold Two Theories.
But two theories remain. according
to County Detective William Thurs.
ton. working on the case. Thurston
has unraveled several mysteries in
past years, and has taken full charge
of the investigation. He is working
on these assumptions:
"A negro waS caught in the cellar
stealing wine by Mrs. Cline and killed
the aged woman when she made an
cutcry. and then was forced to mur-
der the husband when he was caught
leaving the death chamber; or an
Italian did the killing. the same one
who threatened the trucker three
years ago when ordered to leave the
farm, where he had trespassed while
hunting. When Cline ordered the
foreigner from his land, the Italian
hurled back a threat, Il will get you
some day."
On the chest of the slain woman
were plainly visible the bloody fin
ger prints of the murderer. by which
he easily can be identified if appre-
hended.

NEW SETTLEMENT HINTED.
Berlin Envoy Closeted With Poin-

Fy the Associated Press.
PARIS. October IL Herr Won
Hoesch, the German charge d'affaires,
went to the foreign Office for a con-
ference with Premier Poincare. which
in some quarters is believed to fore
cast an important step in regard to
the reparation problem.
The German official went to the
Quay dOrsay while a French military
guard of honor was drawn up on both
sides Of the entrance waiting to sa-
lutte President Masaryk of Czechoslo-
vakia. Herr Won Hoesch. in order to
enter the building, had TO pass be-
tween the ranks of the guard.
The German charge remained at the
foreign office thirty-five minutes I'm
mediately afterward Premier Poin-
care left for luncheon with Presi-
dent Masaryk at the Czechoslovak le-
cation, without informing his COL
leagues what had taken place during
the interview.
May Mean New Offer.
There is a feeling in some quarters
that owing to the German chancel-
lors greater freedom of action he
may decide to present proposals Of a
more sweeping character. more def
mite and more tangible than hereto
fore. which may meet NJ. Poincare's
demands.
,The German charges first visit to
the French premier, on October 10,
thus far has had no effect in bringing
the two countries into closer rela-
tions, although on that occasion Herr
Won Hoesch informed NJ. Poincare
that he was instructed to open direct
negotiations between the Berlin and
Paris governments and to offer Ger
many's cooperation toward the re-
sumption of the normal economic life
of the Ruhr. This offer, however, was
taken under consideration by the
French government.
The more optimistic are of the opin-
ion that the charges visit to the pre-
mier means that some important step
will be taken with respect to the rep
aration problem-that either Won
Hoesch will present entirely new pro-
posals emanating from Berlin on the
question as whole, or express the
reich governments willingness to ac-
cept the Belgian plan as basis for
discussion.
