PARIS. May 20.-tPl-News that
the American government had TAX
en- a hand in the reparations tangle
has changed the aspect Of things at
the experts headquarters.
It is generally felt it may alter
the whole course Of the negotiations
and make possible a settlement OF
which nearly every one had begun
to despair.
The American delegation to the
conference was stated 10 have re-
ceived through the usual channels
a communication from Washington
but no member was willing TO make
any statement concerning it.
The news that Pres. Hoover had
communicated with owen D. Young
through the American embassy
caused the greatest furry in the
Hobbies OF the Hotel George v. since
the presentation of the German re-
ply to the allied memorandum that
almost broke up the conference
three weeks ago.
Speculation started at once and
spread throughout the building as
to Just what Pres. Hoover had pro-
posed to the chief American dele
gate. The general assumption was
that the message authorized a re-
duction In the American share OF
annuities and the question that was
on every ones lips was: How
much?"

The methods used by the Inter-
state Commerce commission In val
uing the nine-mile- long st. Louis
and OFellon were condemned by
the court, which reversed the de-
ciSiOn Of the lower court.
The bitter controversy, waged for
years over the valuations placed by
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion on railroad property for rate
making purposes, was ended In the
highest COurt In substantial defeat
for the commerce commission.
In ending the controversy the
court overturned the valuations
used by the commission for rate
making and other purposes W hich
are approximately eleven billion dol
lars less than claimed by the rail-
roads. Under it the commission
must scrap its valuations Of years,
conducted at great expense to the

government, result In a rapid up
