RIVER DAM SANTA BARBARA, June $.—Four separate and widely different plans for the development of the Colorado river occupied the delegates at the conference of the League of the Southwest between sessions today as presented by yesterday's speakers. W. G. Clark, of New York revealed a gigantic scheme of eastern capitalists, George H. Maxwell of Arizona suggested a compromise on a dam at Topoc for flood control only in connection with the high dam at Glen Canyon for irrigation and power development.

Dr. Horace Porter with the government approved plans for Boulder Canyon development was the best received of the four. Clark's address showed a degree of close investigation of the Colorado river situation for many years back. He said frankly that he proposed private ownership exclusively under "government regulation," then proposed a dam 100 feet high in Boulder Canyon. He also suggested having congress authorize the reclamation committee to guarantee the $150,000,000 in bonds which would have to be floated and also require the government to pay five per cent on the issue until private interests were ready to take over the work on a 50 year license. Maxwell's newest scheme involves a 90 foot flood control dam at Topoc and a 300 foot dam at Glen Canyon. Today was given over largely to the discussion of Indian problems.

Chaus, service station thief suspect of Los Angeles, today has bail of $10,000 instead of $7,000 to enforce good behavior pending his trial Justice J. B.

He was taken to Santa Ana last night by Deputy Sheriff S. J. Scott. "The goods were on him," Sheriff Sam Jernigan said, and his hearing was short.

Staff Correspondent) LONDON, June 8.—Premier Poincare's views upon the German reparations offer reached the British government this afternoon and they show a wide divergence of opinion between Great Britain and rance. The French regard any guarantees not controlled by the allies as inadequate. Furthermore, they deeply recent Germany's failure to promise cessation of passive resistance in the Ruhr. It is probable that the British will advise Premier Poincare that his views are not those of the London government. In some quarters it is believed Germany will cease passive resistance if Great Britain asks it. Despite news from Paris that French officials hold the Germah note unacceptable, there is hope here that the offer may lead the way for an eventual settlement of both reparations and the Ruhr issue. It was regarded as a foregone conclusion that Britain will not reject the German note flatly without careful consideration, particularly as it seems to fill all the requirements of the note on May 21. According to press opinion, if the German offer of $294,000,000 annually for reparations is rejected, Chancellor Wilhelm Guno will resign and Germany again will be left without a government at a critical time.
