PARIS INSISTS
CHINA PAY IN
COLD
Controversy With China Over
Boxer Indemnity Far From
Being Settled

France and China have arrived at
complete deadlock on the "goId
franc controversy" it was learned al
the French Embassy today, and
there is no hope that France will af
fix her signature to the Far East
Treaties, until an amicable agree
ment concerning the Boxer indem'
nifty payments has been reached.
Frances signature is necessary be.
fore the conference agreements can
be put into effect, the United States
is vitality interested party because
of the influence the agreements have
on American interests in the Far
East, as well.
Until France signs. none of the
guarantees made China at the confer
ence can be carried out. China can
not increase her customs duties five
per cent or make other financial re-
forms.
The controversy between China
and France involves whether the re-
mainder of the Boxer indemnity
still due France shall be paid in gold
or paper francs. China contends that
until the war, when she was granted
q moratorium for five years, pay
ments were made in telegraphic
transfer involving paper francs. and
that she should still continue to
pay in that manner.

Mellon to Aid Board

Cooperation of agencies under the
jurisdiction of the Treasury Depart.
ment in carrying out administrative
recommendation Of the President
agricultural conference is promised
by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
tn q letter to President Coolidge.
Secretary Mellon indicates, however.
that 1t is his belief mat some of the
criticisms of the Presidents confer
eTce are not justified.
Secretary Melons letter deals es-
pecially with the activities of the in
fermediate credit banks. the War
Finance Corporation and the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau. The Secretary
says that IL there are interdepart-
ment or inter-bureau jealousies which
handicap effective cooperation he will
take steps to correct them.
''At the suggestion OF the Agricul-
fIlraI Conference. Governor Copper,
chairman of the Federal Farm Loan
Board. is going west next week to
consult with the livestock interests
and see what further the intermedi-
etc credit banks can do for the live
stock producers" says Secretary
Mellon.
ssThe suggestion OF having the
board take some aggressive steps
which would open to cooperative
marketing associations proper lines
OF credit is not clear to me. The
intermediate credit banks have
loaned over $4,000, 900 to the CO.
operative marketing association as
AGAINST SIS, 900 600 rediscounts, and
have at all times been ready to meet
any legitimate demand Of the CO.
operative marketing associations.
During the past year the War
Finance Corporation was available
for this same purpose, but was not
called upon to any extent. It seems
10 me there must be some misunder-
standing in this particular OF the
agricultural conferences. complaint.
with reference to the propose1
internal revenue regulation affect
ing tax exemption OF cooperative
marketing associations have asked
the solicitor of internal revenue to
advise me whether regulation in

would be consistent with the rev.

Athlete Hurt in
Automobile Accident

Fred Viles, a student in the Wins
low high school, suffered badly
wrenched knee and Commissions on his
right leg yesterday noon when he was
struck by an automobile operated by
Thomas Poulin of Fairfield. The &C
cident occurred at the corner OF Bay

Viles had come down the hill and
was standing on the sidewalk close
by an automatic signal and the railT
way crossing, waiting for an oppor-
tunity to go across the street.
The automobile, a Hupmobile Sc
dan, came across the bridge from
Waterville. and as the driver started
I'D Sand Hill, Viles said, the car
came I'D on the sidewalk where he
was standing. He jumped toward
the street to save himself, being un-
able to go the other way because OF
the signal standard. The mudguard
of the car struck the back of his
thigh, just above the knee, bruising 1t
badly. He was thrown to the ground.
Poulin, Viles said, drove on up the
hill. but stopped at the top. returned
and took Viles to the office of DR..
Napoleon Bison in Waterville. where
the injuries were treated. The mud
guard of the car was badly denied.
Viles plays regularly on the Wins
low high football team, and 1t is eX-
pected that he will be unable to play
in the game with Bar Harbor at Bar
Harbor Saturday.
