Although White House Receives

Been Overcome, Castle Expresses
Doubt Information Indicates Full
Acceptance of Principles.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 4.-The Havas News
Agency reported today that the
decisions reached at this after
moons cabinet meeting probably
would be communicated to Secre-
tary Mellon and Ambassador Edge
at another conference between
them and Premier Laval early this
evening.
The cabinet meeting was called
for the purpose of discussing the
status of the negotiations over the
Hoover war debt plan.
Secretary Mellon and Ambassa-
dor Edge conferred at noon today
with Finance Minister Flandin on
the two points still at issue be-
tween France and America.
The American negotiators talked
with the finance minister more
than half an hour.
It was said at the ministry that
previous to the cabinet meeting
this afternoon Mr.. Mellon would
communicate to M. Flandin note
definitely outlining the American
point of view on the points dis
cuSSed.
Expect Agreement Today.
Announcement that France and the
United States had arrived at COM
plete agreement on the plan to aid Ger
many was confidently expected today.
The French cabinet is meeting to
consider two minor points which are
said to be the only barriers in the way
of acceptance of the proposal by France.
AS the result of lengthy meeting OF
the delegates last night it was under
stood that four points-which the
French call minor" and the Americans
econdary''-remained to be settled.
Two Of these finally were eliminated,
It was learned, and two are being
threshed out today.
The more important one was said
to be the question whether France
should be compelled to deposit $l25,
100000 guarantee fund with the Bank
for International Settlements in case
Germany declares a moratorium at the
end Of the one-year period. AS this in
wolves the Young plan, 1t may require
consultation with signatory nations
especially Great Britain.
France was represented as feeling
that she should not be forced to de-
post this sum in addition to foregoing
German reparations for one year. She
has pointed out that the world bank
has optional powers in this respect and
tnferentially trusted they would be in
voked. A compromise on this aspect
Is believed to be in process.
An agreement as to the number OF
years Germany will have to refund the
unpostponable payments of the Young
plan was said to have been effected
France had suggested five years and
America had insisted on Is years, but
they were believed to have struck a
medium at some period more than 10
years.

WILL EXAMINE REVOLVERS OF
 THE OFFICERS

Detroit, July 23-UP)-- Service revolvers of two customs border patrol inspectors were to be exam ined today to determine whether they or the crew of an armored run boat fired the shot that wounded an excursion steamer passenger fin a gun battle on the Detroit river.
 A steel jacketed 45-caliber bullet was taken from the arm of the vic- tim, Arthur Garjeski. 23, member of a church party on the excursion ship St. Claire.
 The two customs guardsmen. Walter Wesolowski and Laurence Fish, admit firing more than 30 shots at the rum runners in wild chase.
 The officers, maintain. however, that their guns fired ordinary soft lead bullets, without steel Jackets, and that, therefore. the youth must have been struck by the rum rum ners fire.
 The officers, under questioning by Assistant Prosecutor George E. Fitzgerald, insisted the rum runner returned their fire, a gunner shoot Ing from behind steel shield.
 Witnesses aboard the Ste. Clair, however, including Captain Freder- ick simpson, said they saw no shooting from the rum runner, which took refuge under the big steamers rail, and escaped to Canadian shores.
 Walter S. Petty. assistant collec- tor of customs. in his report of the shooting to Washington, said he did not know whether q bullet from the inspectors guns or from the rum craft struck Garjeski.
