On the other hand, it is known that
NJ. CaillauX feels that even the tenn
porary arrangement offered by Sec
retary Mellon would be better than
any plan involving higher payments
unless such plan carried some sort
of insurance against the cripplinG OF
French financial resources.
In view of the fact that many
members of the French parliament
are vigorously opposed to the tempor-
ary arrangements which NJ. Caillaux
brought home from Washington, this
arrangement will not be submitted
to parliament. Instead, there will be
new proposal which is expected to
be a definite refunding measure COW

New Proposal Prepared
This proposal will be forwarded

opening of the chamber of deputies
next Thursday.
Although at the recent radical con-
gress in Nice there was some demand
that France should undertake to pay
no more on her war debts than she
received in Germany reparations, the
belief prevails that NJ. Caillaux will
not consider this when he next ap-

LAWYERS OF
MIN0T UNDER
INDICTMENTS
Federal Grand Jury Charges
Them With SubOrnatiOn
of Perjury

Fargo, N. d., Oct. 22.--(P)-An-
nouncement that the federal grand
Jury, recently in session in Fargo,
had returned indictments charging
subornation Of perjury against At
orneys Dudley L. Nash and j. j. Twi-
ford of Minot was made in Fargo
today.
The indictments, it is understood,
are based upon alleged confessions by
one Brown and one Dewitt, defend
ant and witness, respectively, in a
trial involving the robbery of the
Carpio, N. D., postoffice.
Brown, it seems, was convicted,
notwithstanding the testimony offer
ed by Dewitt to the effect that he, De-
witt, was hotel clerk in Minneapolis
and had been with Brown in Mime
apolis at the time of the Carpio post
office robbery. Such, also, was
Browns contention.
Confessions Obtained
Shortly after Browns conviction,
postal officials obtained purported
confession from Dewitt to the effect
the Minot attorneys, Messrs. Mash
anu i W llOIu, Hdu WI hCu :" "ASH ~
preparing the story for presentation
in court. Mr.. Nash was Browns at
torney, while Mr.. Twiford did not
| appear as an attorney of record in
the case. Five or six weeks ago Il
| confession, similar to that alleged to
have been made by Dewitt, was OBJ
| tanned from Brown.
''NOTHING TO THE
CHARGE" NASH SAYS
Minot, N. D., Oct. 22.-(P)-"There
is absolutely nothing to the charge
embodied in the action Of the gran(
jury" declared Attorney Dudley Nasi
today. 1.-THE testimony presented il
the Brown case was exactly the stor!
brought to me by the witnesses. A.
a matter of fact when this matter i
opened it will be seen that it is tn
aftermath Of an unsuccessful attemp
on the part of self-confessed Grim
inal to blackmail me. l repeat ther
is absolutely nothing to the charg
which, by the way, one grand jur,
previously had refused to take action
on.
''As for Mr.. Twiford, he was in n
way connected either directly or in
directly with the matter at issue. H
was not retained and is in every re
spect an innocent bystander."
