Extended And Paved Thru To Fullerton Anaheim will be able shortly to make further extension of its limits to the north, it was declared today by an owner on ranch property between Anaheim and Fullerton on Spadra-rd. "A group of us ranchers living just north of Anaheim's present city limits have taken a straw vote and declared our preference for annexation to Anaheim rather than Fullerton and our readiness to come in as soon as the time is ripe," said D. A. Singleton today. "That time should be comparatively soon." Singleton with Henry Melser, Vern Littleton, Joseph Heinz and W. B. Dunton have just purchased jointly the ten-acre Arthur Porter valencia grove in order to preserve the district for a desirable residential section. The ranch has a large frontage on what would be an extension of Lemon-st. and lies south of Orangethorpe. It is said Porter was about to sell it for very low priced building operations. The buyers will hold the tract for subdivision purposes. It has a good bearing grove which will easily provide for carrying charges until the subdivision is possible which will be as soon as the ranch to the south between it and the state highway is subdivided.

POINCARE'S DEFINITION OF "PRESENT CAPACITY" Not Satisfactory WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—The effort by the American government to arrange a new reparations conference to settle the problem which has kept Europe in turmoil for four years has for the present ended in failure. Official announcement was made by the state department tonight that the limitations which Premier Polcare of France insists upon imposing on the conference "futile and useless" from the American point of view and consequently this government is not inclined to participate. The limitations which the French government insisted upon were: 1. That the legality of the Ruhr occupation be not questioned and that the conference not attending to deal with The French collection of taxes in the Ruhr, the guarantees exacted by the French in the Ruhr and the agreements the French have negotiated with the Ruhr industrialists. 2. That the experts' inquiry into Germany's capacity to pay be confined to determining what Germany can pay within six years or up to 1920. These limitations were officially laid before Secretary Hughes late this afternoon by the French ambassador. Secretary of State Hughes informed M. Jusserand that from the American viewpoint these limitation would frustrate the whelo purpose of the inquiry and prevent any forward accomplishment in the settlement of the reparations controversy. There the matter rested tonight. So far as this government is concerned, there will be no further negotiations with the French, it is understood. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—President Coolidge considers that a new reparations conference limited to Germany's "present capacity" to pay would be futile and useless, and there would be no jurisdiction in the United States participating in such a parley, it was officially announced at the White House this afternoon. Premier Polcare's definition of "present capacity" as constituting six years is not satisfactory to this government it was said. When the jury filed in, there was a tenseness in the court room. For the contending sides it meant the culmination of five years of the bitterest fighting. The clerk of the court asked Foreman Hitchcock of the jury whether the jurors had reached a verdict. "What is your verdict?" the clerk asked. "We find Mrs. Stokes not guilty on count nine." Hitchcock said. This was the issue of whether Mrs. Stokes had been guilty of infidelity with Wallace in his apartment at 13 East 30th-st, New York. This was the sole issue left to the jury to consider. All other charges had been ruled out—including allegations of intimacy with a dozen other men and charges of indiscretions with Wallace in various places other than the New York flat. Mrs. Stokes, her face tense, listened to the verdict and then gulped visibly. Her face broke into smiles as she shook hands with her counsel, Samuel Untermyer. The pair then walked to the jury box and thanked the jurors. Stokes, sitting alone at his table, appeared much affected by the jury's announcement. Tears were in his eyes. He was asked if he had anything to say. "That's all," the aged financier said. "I have no statement to make." Max D. Steuer, chief counsel for Stokes, was not in the court room when the jurors returned. Stokes, however, remainder at his seat from the time the jurors left the room until they returned. The court room was only half filled when the jury filed into the room. Outside, however, the corridors were jammed and the balloons had almost to fight their way to clear a lane. Mrs. Stokes, after thanking the jurors, walked over the press table and thanked the newspaper representatives for their "fair and impartial treatment" during the trial.

The French government today paid the United States $164,168, as semi-annual interest on a debt of $6,565,752, incurred in buying surplus war supplies from this government. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. President Coolidge considers that a new reparations conference limited to Germany's "present capacity" to pay would be futile and useless, and there would be no jurisdiction in the United States participating in such a parley, it was officially announced at the White House this afternoon. Premier Poincare's definition of "present capacity" as constituting six years is not satisfactory to this government it was said at the White House. President Coolidge considers the six years is too short a time to figure on Germany's capacity to pay, in view of the turmoil and economic chaos prewailing in Germany today. Consequently, it Poincare insists upon the six year limitation, the whole conference so far as this government is concerned, is likely to go by the board. These clarifications of the American position were made at the White House this afternoon, following a long cabinet meeting and while Secretary of State Hughes and ambassador Jusserand were in conference. NEW CONFERENCE APPEARS DOOMED WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. After wavering uncertainly for ten days, the British-American project of staging a new reparations conference to determine Germany's capacity to pay again appeared deounced to defeat this afternoon. M. Jusserand, the French ambassador, made an appointment to see Secretary of State Hughes today and it is understood he will carry fresh instructions from Paris to the effect that American ideas concerning the conference are not acceptable to Premier Poincare.
