Th only Information received by Secre tary Hughe today concerning -the character of Germany' counter proposal regarding reparations was that contained in press dispatch ea The communication embodying the proposals, which was handed yes terday to Lorlng Preset, American high commissioner at Berlin, by Dr. Walter Simons, the German foreign minister, had not arrived when the secretary finished his day's work. . It was assumed that the delay was due to transmission difficulties either on the cables or by wireless. It was not known which means the commissioner had used in dispatch ing ths communication. What course Mr. Hughes will take in dealing with the question was not Indicated today. It was said, how ever, that until he had studied the counter-proposals carefully the com munication would not be made pub lic unless It had already been pub lished by Germany or by one of the allies, to whom a copy or summary have been sent. Diplomatic representatives here believed it probable that the sec retary would take up the questions Involved directly with the foreign offices ot the allied governments, rather than with their representa tives here, to expedite the negotia tions. It was pointed out in this connection that the supreme coun cil is due to meet Saturday and the French are expected to begin their occupation, of the Ruhr May 1 if an agreement is not reached with Germany in the controversy.

Judge Bell ruled that It would be necessary to first prove a con-piracy, before anything Bettison said could be used agaiast th defendant, Bout- wen. Martin testified that when Betti son came to his house to get Ro land, he took the longest route lead ing to Camilla. Sheriff C.
