TO MEET TODAY
Long Conference
Slated at British Em
bassy in Paris
French Minister to Plug Up
on Cannes’ Deliberations—
Hints He Will Not form Pure
Political Ministry— Union
Necessary—Peace' Must Be
Accomplished
Taris, Jan. 13—(By A. P.)—Ray
mond Poincare, who has assumed the
task of forming a ministry to suc
ceed that of Aristide Briand said
tonight that he did not thing he
i could complete his work before Sun
1 day evening at the earliest.
M. Toincare added that he had in
formed David Lloyd George, the
j British prime minister, that he
"would tie happy to confer with him
; at the British embassy in Taris to
morrow.
It was while receiving deputations
, from the principal groups in parlia
ment this evening that M. Poincare
i gave out this information.
“As you know.” lie said, “Mr. Lloyd
1 George has very kindly expressed a
desire to t;flk with M. Briand's suc
; cessor if he was appointed, when he
; passed through Paris from Cannes,
j bound homeward. I have informed
. him that I will he happy to confer
with his at tlie British embassy.
"As our conversation will require#
several hours, thus delaying the ef
forts I expect to begin tomorrow to
obtain the collaborators 1 need in the
new ministry, I do not think the
cabinet can be formed before Sunday
night at the earliest.
Parliament having decided to moot
next Thursday, I must be able be
fore appearing there to familiarize
myself w itli current decisions be
tween the Allies, and particularly
concernin,; the deliberations at
j Cannes.
"Further conferences are likely In
j the near future. They have their
uses, but I believe it would be belter
' to only summond the supreme conn
I cil after the ambassadors have com
: ploted the preparatory work. In my
opinion the supreme council ought
in principle to meet only for the ex
change of signatures.”
M. Poincare told the delegates
concerning the cabinet that lie did
not imagine any one expected him
to form p purely political ministry.
"Xo one denies," lie declared, "the
gravity of the situation. We are liv
ing through hours now as serious as
those of in 1914. T'nion is more
necessary titan ever. Above all we
must secure disarmament of minds.
Tlmre must be no consideration of
persons.
"Peace is th“ indispensable work
we have to accomplish. It must be
made for the benefit of France: not
against one party or another.”
It having been pointed out to M.
Poincare that the inclusion of cer
tain Socialist radicals in the min
istry would likely arouse objections,
tlip new prime minister replied:
"I have committed myself to no
body. But I can remind you that all
cabinets formed while I had the
honor to lie at Hie Klysoe palace in
cluded Socialist radicals.”
Ryan Denies
Poisoning of
Wife in Paris
Paris, Jan. 1”— (By A. P.)—Thom- i
as Stewart Ryan of the Taris staff of
the Chicago Tribune, firmly protest- |
ing his innocence was being held in :
Santa prison tonight in connection
with the serious illness of his wife,
due, t is alleged to t lie takng of poi- I
son tablets while in Mr. Ryan’s room :
at a hotel here. Mrs. Ryan is a Cali- !
fornia woman. She is a violinist and <
is known professionally as Miss |
Audrey Crcyghton. She Is in the '
American hospital where the physi- |
cians tonight held out little hope for
her recovery.
No formal complaint lias been filed |
against Mr. Ryan. He is being held,
on a deposition made by Mrs. Rvan.t
Counsel for Ryan contends this depo
sition makes no mention of “yiolence
or compulsion.” but says Mrs. Ryan |
took the poison when “terrified.”
Mr. Ryan appeared to be unshaken
when he told his version of the affair
to the examining magistrate this aft
ternoon. He testified he had made
no threats and did not lock the door
of his room while Mrs. Ryan was
with him there.
He said he had told Mrs. Ryan ;
jokingly he had poison in his hand- j
bag when she said she did not want !
to live, but he thought she was pre
tending when she took the poison.
When aware she had .swallowed
the poison he stated, he despairingly
attempted to cut his throat with a
pocket knife but was able to summon
aid and carry his wife downstairs.
He took her to a hospital immediate

Committee — Would Take

Agricultural* Products—Oth
er Substitutes For Fordney
Plan Discussed
Washington, Jan. 13.—Final discus- j
sion of the basis of assessing the im
port duties which are to be written
into the new tariff bill was started
today by Republican members of the j
senate finance committee. They hope
to reach a decision on this, the most i
important and difficult phase of the i
whole tariff problem, before the end
of next week and then the actual
i
wt k of construction of the rates will ^
j be undertaken. The hope now is that
ihe bill can be reported to the senate j
about March 1.
Resides discussing the American t
valuation plan and various subsli- j
lutes with members of the tariff com- ;
mission and the court of customs ap- !
peals, the committee men received ,
from the Senate Republican farmer- I
tariff bloc recommendations as to j
rates on farm products. These in- \
eluded a suggested duty of five cents
a pound on short staple cotton, which j
always has been on the free list, amt ;
a rate of 33 cents a pound on wool, j
on the basis of the scoured contest as '
against the 35 cents proposed in tne j
Fordney bill. Rates at increases over j
those in the Fordney bill on wheat,, j
oats and many other products were ,
urged.
In entering upon their discussion of
the basis of assessing duties, the j
committee members, had. in confer
ence with them Thomas O. Marvin
and William Burgess of the tariff
commission anti Judge Marion De
Veyes a member of the court of cus
toms appeals. They endorsed the
plan, outlined in an amendment pro
posed yesterday by Senator Smoot
1 of Ttali, of assessing duties on the
basis of the selling price of the im
ported article in the American mar
ket rather than on the value of* the
comparable article produced it: the
Fnited States, the Fordney bill pro
posal.
Besides discussing this proposal at
some length, the committee men went i
into a general discussion of the |
American valuation plan as written
into the Fordney bill and several
substitutes for it were to have been
proposed. It was said that the dis
cussion did not develop any definite
trend of opinion among senators for
any one plan. It was learned, how
ever. that several senators are lean
ing to the proposal in the latest
Smoot amendment.

Old Mirror
Features In
Hub Mystery
Cambridge, Jan. IS—A broken an
tique mirror figured in tbe evidence
submitted today in the trial of
Clarence \V. I.ond for tbe murder of
Patrolman James A. I’reston of
Wakefield, l.ouis E. Waitt of Saugus
testified lie found the mirror near
castle rock in that town, not far
from the Wakefield line, about 500
feet from the place where I.oud’s
abandoned automobile was located
on the night of th ■ murder.
Fred O. Gilpatrick, a dealer of an
tiques in Melrose, testified that on
the night I’reston was shot I.ond
calle.i at his store and he later went
to Food's house, where lanid told
him lie was going to Lynnfleld that
evening to show an antique mirror to
a friend. I.ond told the police after
his arrest that he had been held up,
assaulted and rot died while driving to
I.ynnfield that night, and had aban
doned his car.
John W. Patten, a repairman at a
Wakefield* garage, who was the last
witness today, told of having seen
I.oud’s car after it had been found
near Castle rock and brought to the
garage, lie said state officer Silas P.
Smith had called his attention to the
fact that the number plate was not
on the ear. When the jury visited
the garage on the opening day of the
trial Patten said he put the number
plate on the car without instructions
from anyone.
Earlier in the day the notebook
found on Preston's i ody was admitted
in evidence. In it was a memoran
dum hearing the date of the murder
and the names of f.oud and “Alice
Dennett" with the notation “adult
ery.” T.oud denied that any woman
was with him in liis ear that night.
The State’s contention is that I.ond
shot Preston after the officer had dis
covered him with a woman and had
told the two that . they would he
prosecuted.
