MAY HALT PROPOSALS.
Canada Expected to Object to Some
American Proposals.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, November 2S.-Rejection
by Canada of some of the American
proposals to end liquor smuggling
across the border was indicated to-
day, as delegates to the international
conference resumed consideration of
the remedies suggested by represen-
tatives Of the United States at the
opening session.
While six OF the American sugges-
tions were disposed of by the con-
ference yesterday, according to an
official communique, no intimatio
was given as to whether they had
been accepted by the Canadian rep
resentatives. Secrecy also was main
tanned regarding Canada's general at
titude upon the matters under dis
cuSSion and counter proposals which
the Dominion delegates were expected
to advance.
Several of the knottiest problems:
involving changes in customs and
marine regulations, were among those
settled yesterday. 1t Is understood.
These provide for refusal of clearance
to ships laden with liquor for United
States ports, and to all ships under
$50 tons with liquor cargoeS; search
and seizure of vessels engaged in
smuggling on the great lakes; obli-
cation Of vessels to proceed to ports
for which they clear and the furnish
ing of Information by Canadian
officials concerning the clearance of
ships with liquor cargoes aboard.

LONDON. November 90. - America
and England have virtually reached
an agreement on the form of the pro-
posed treaty granting the United
States a special extension of the
three-mile limit for the confiscation
of Illicit liquor in British-owned ves-
sells, and comforting upon Britain the
right to ship legitimate alcohol stores
in passenger liners to the American
shores under seal for consumption on
the homeWard voyage.
Secretary of State Hughes has re-
turned the British governments out
line Of the treaty with the State De-
partments comments and suggestions
thereon, and 1t is expected the con-
vention in its final form will soon be
concluded, so that it can be submit
ted to Congress at an early date.
Secretary Hughes found no substan-
tfal objection to the fundamental
points of the treaty as formulated by
Foreign Secretary Curzon and the
British legal experts He was able to
reassure the British government on
certain constitutional features of the
treaty which 1t had been thought by
cord with existing American laws
and practices.
A further exchange of views now is
proceeding between the two govern
mentS concerning rider TO the
treaty providing that the whole in

supreme Court. 1t is understood to
be the American point OF view that
no such provision is necessary, as any
treaty concluded between the United
States and a foreign power and duly
ratified by the Senate would have the
force of law and be wholly const;-
tutional.
While Secretary Hughes has not
formally requested the foreign Office
to expedite conclusion OF the treaty,
he is understood to desire as do
British officials, that it shall be com
pleted with the least possible DELAY.
so as to prevent unplea SAINT incidents
arising out of such seizures of yes
sells as in the recent cases of the
Island Home and the Tomoka, which
have caused both governments some

1t now appears that the Tomoka
was registered at Nassau, in the Ba-
hamas, ar1Il owned by a company with

any British backing. The British
government is continuing it's incuir-

DUSSELDORF, November 29.-The

solving the provisional cabinet be-
cause of the attitude of the military
herents of DR. Dorten, who declare
that in reality Matthes was expelled
from the separatist ranks because he
refused to carry out majority deci-
Sions of the cabinet.
The Dortenites explain that the
oficious and dictatorial methods of
Matthes became SO distasteful to his
colleagues that the cabinet by a ma
Jority vote some days ago decided to
unit his authority to the Bonn dis
trict, but Matthes refused to be
pushed into a back seat The Dor
tenites, accordingly, handed Matthes
an ultimatum to quit or be placed
under arrest by the government
guard, which sided with them. Just
as the ultimatum was about to ex-
pire. Matthes fled to Dusseldorf.
His story about a military coup and
letter to NJ. Tirard, president of the
Rhineland commission. according to
the Dortenites, was purely imaginary.
They declare that the provisional
government continues to work I'm

NJ. Tirard has announced officially
that he received no letter from Joseph

Matthes, after giving his story to
the world, disappeared, and attempts
to find him and get his views of the
Dortenita version of his flight from
