the petition of the California Co-opera-
tive Canneries Co. for the revocation
%. 1920, by which the packing concerns
agreed to divorce the meat industry
from unallied activities.
Attorney GaIIoway's Contention.
Assistant Attorney General Gallo
way contended that the Objectionable
paragraphs are "impertinent and scan
dalous" and should be stricken from
the record. One of the paragraphs
complained of asserted that the decree
had. been signed by the court without
consideration of the pleadings and re
gardless of the legal effect of the de-
cree" Justice Bailey interrupted
counsel to suggest that many DEGREES
in equity in which both parties are
satisfied are signed per forma by the
court without investigation into the
merits of the controversy. Govern
ment counsel continued to point out
the other portions of the petition
which he wishes eXpunged.

ing the canneries company, opposed
the motion and the court is expected
to take the matter under advisement.
Attorney Conrad H. Syme, counsel

PARIS PARLEY DUE
TO END TOMORROW
Hope for Final PIenary SeS-
sion Today Abandoned
by Ministers.
BY the Associated Press

by the AssOcldteu ITesS.
PARIS, January 13.- The final
plenary- session of the allied finance
ministers conference will be held at
9 o'clock tomorrow morning for the
purpose of ratifying the agreements
reached by the various delegations
regarding the appointment of repa-
rations under the Dawes plan, it was
announced late this AFTERNOON.
a preliminary meeting of finance min
listers tonight will be devoted to giving
the small pawers an opportunity of pre-
senting their claims to the conference.
RepreSe entativeS of the United
States, for the first time since
Americas failure to ratify the Yer
sailles treaty, are about to sign an
interallied agreement the object of
which is to fix and divide German
reparation payments.
Instead of observers the Americans
now become active participants in the
settlement of the situation arising out
of the peace of Versailles: that is con-
sidered here to be the most important
result attained at the interallied finan-
cial conference, which is due to close
today.
New Linc-Up Is Seen.
The cooperation of the United States
is regarded particularly by French cir
cleS as constituting a new and impor-
tant fact which may have weighty con-
sequences in the future, both morally
and materially the more so as one of
the negotiators, Ambassador kellogg.
will be called on March TO assume
direction of Americas foreign policy.
The conference experts, having failed
to line up everything last night, were
again at work this morning. There are
still a few figures that refuse to work
out right, and as the percentages are
involved. modifica ton of any one of
them entails modification of others.
The French minister of finance, NJ.
Clementel, was so optimistic that the
conference would end tonight that he
had already ordered a grand banquet
In honor of the delegates and eX-
perts. Winston Churchill, the British
chancellor of the eXchequer, was of
similar mind and had told his valet
to pack his trunks,
The tired experts were given A
helping hand this morning by James
A. Logan, jr.. the American repara-
tion delegate, in giving the finishing
touches to their report. The princi-
pal rmaining difficulty appeared to
be the demands of the secondary
powers, particularly Rumania, whose
request for a revision of percentages
| in her favor probably will be refused.
The principal allies are evidently
reparation receipts shall not upset
phases of the problem

ELECTROCUT|ON ACT.
TOO LATE FOR TWO
Thomas and Copeland to Die
Before Execution Method
Is Changed.

Passage of the bill changing execu-
ton in the District from hanging to
electrocution will come too late to
save Ralph Thomas and Herbert
Copeland from the first-named meth cd
of capital punishment unless re-
prieves are granted them, it was
learned today.
= The bill, which originated in the
Senate, has been passed by the House
and returned to the Senate for minor
changes. stipulates that electrocution
shall be the only method of capital
punishment in the District.
Thomas, is sentenced to be hanged
January Is and Copeland on Jan
uary %.
One effect of the new law will be to
remove the draped form of the gal
lows from the view of prisoners in
the eating hall. The gallows now
stands at one end of the corridor. in
full view of those entering for meals.
Death Chamber Provided.
The electric chair will be placed in
a small death chamber, patterned
after the New York and Vermont exc
cution rooms. Installation will he
marked by curtailing of those wit
Messing executions in the future. for
the bill provides that none shall be
present except the eXecutioner and
his assistants, the prison physician
and one other physician, the CON
demned persons counsel and relatives
not exceeding three, the prison chap
lain and not more than two other
ministers of the gospel, the Superin-
tendent of the prison or an author
lied deputy and not fewer than three
nor more than five respectable citi-
zens,'' to be designated by the SUPER
intendent of the prison.

Pithy Paragraphs

One of the most unusual fish sto-
ries since the mix-up of Jonah and
the Whale, comes out Of Edinburg,
but one must be piscatorially inclined
to fully appreciate its oddity. Frank
Dinges, the Madison District drug
gust, and a real expert with reel,
was angling in the placid waters of
the Shenandoah few evenings ago,
using artificial bait, when he had a
strike which buoyed his belief that
he had hooked a record breaking
bass. Imagine his surprise.and cha
grin when he pulled in not bass
but a and-half-pound carp. To
the layman this story may not pos
sess the elements of the miraculous,
but it is a feat without parallel in
piscatorial lore, for it is the first time
of record that carp ever struck on
artificial bait. To a fisherman it
is wonder story, and true.
1t is not so much coincidence as
it is carelessness, that two automo-
bile accidents have recently occurred
at the same spot-on the crest of
the hill north of Willow Grove. The
turnpike at this point is not up to
the high standard of other stretches
of this great highway. There is a
midway where macadam once abode
and this very mud has caused skid
ding cars to have mishaps. Could
be easily remedied, too, with just a
! little surfacing and trimming of the
rough edges. Let's fix it before the
accidents multiply and grow more
serious.
Just why some unfortunate auto
I list has not been hurtled into eternity
at the dangerous curve on the Valley
Pike at Red Banks is marvel of
motordom. In truth, some have had
peep over the Jasper Walls in sew
eral hairbreadth escapes from death,
when rounding this Edge of Eternity.
I 1t is condition, too, which can be
corrected by the State Highway Com
mission at little cost, and it indicates
official callousness when human life
/ is at stake that it is not corrected.
| The curve could be eliminated for
less than the price of the wrecked
cars at this point within several
years Land to straighten the road
has been offered to the Commission,
free. Just why there should be hest
fancy in saving travellers from mex
cusable slaughter because of a few
measly dollars is an enigma. Even
under official red tape there should
be enough appreciation of human
| life to prevent its useless sacrifice
What think you?
