5 QUESTIONS ASKED
F.. IN JURY SHADOWiNG
Certified to United States Supreme
Court by High Tribunal
of District.

Five dificult questions of law have
arisen in the appeal of Harry F. Sin
clair, New York oil magnate; Henry
Mason Day, one of his neutenants;
William j. Burns, former head OF the
Burns Detective Agency, and w. Sher-
man Burns, present head of that organ

tempt of coure for shadowing the men,

Sinclair-Fall conspiracy case here. The
District of Columbia Supreme Court so
told the United States Supreme Court

for the decision of those questions.
Question No. I'm contempt pro-
ceeding based upon alleged improper
shadowing of jury by a defendant in
a criminal trial in a court of the
United States was evidence pertinent
and admissible to the effect that 1t had
been a custom and usage of the United
States in criminal prosecutions to have
agents Of the Bureau of Investigation

1endaLt?
Question No. 2-May a defendant in

all the jurors to be Swallowed if such
defendants have reason to believe that
attempts may be made improperly to

States, with6ut the knowledge of the
court, lawfully cause three of the Jurors

neye that such jurors may be subjected
TO improper influence by persons hostile

PROCEDURE STILL
PREPARATIONS KNOT
Many Problems Yet to Be De-
termined by Experts
Committee.

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, February 20.-Problems of
procedure still occupied the experts
committee on reparations today.
Although an enlarged subcommittee,
assigned to smoothing difficulties of
going ahead, indicated after meeting
last night that an agreement had been
reached on number of points, much
was understood yet to be determined.
The subcommittee is believed to be
inclined toward formation of a number
of subcommittee to whom various
aspects Of the reparations problem may
be conflded for special study. These
smaller bodies would then submit their
findings to pleIfary sessions for final
action.
There appeared to remain yet deter
mination of the next move. Germany,
although it has painted a depressing
picture of its economic situation, has
not indicated the amount OF cut in an
nual payments it expects; France, rep
FeSenting the other extreme, is con-
tented with the present arrangement
and does not wish to take the initiative
in suggesting cut in the amount of
the payments.
Early submission at plenary session
of the results of the work of the SUBJ
committee up to now seem imminent
today The prospect was that the body
would be told to continue its labors,
since, until the problem in procedure is
settled. there seems little likelihood of
appreciable progress in the plenary ses-
siorlS.
Every delegation except the Ameri-
can and japanese is represented on the
enlarged subcommittee, which contains,
besides its original members. DR.. HAL

MEXICO CITY. February 20.-Presi.
dent Emilio Portes Gil, through Acting
Secretary Of Interior Canales, warned
the Mexican press today that it had
overstepped the bounds of the govern
ment's tolerance. Further offenses. it
was said, would be severely punished.
The Mexico City newspapers Excel
sior. Ell Universal and La Prensa were
mentioned specifically in the warning,
which was conveyed to the papers TO-
day in the form of a statement signed
by Senior Canales, by decision Of the
President"
The specific act held against the
three papers was the publication Tues
day morning of the statement of Bishop
Miguel de la Mora of San Luis Potosi,
in which the bishop denied that the
Catholic clergy had anything to, do

among the conscript fathers a pack
of what looked like playing cards and
requested a number of the fathers TO

cards were taken up and spread on
