SPEECHES IN THE HOUSE
Mr. ChmckWs attack and Premier's s
Repiy.
By The Associated Press9

London, Feb 24.-When the debate on Mr..
Beckett's proposed amendment the address
reply to the Kings speech at the opening
OF Parliament resumed in the House OF
Commons to-day the attack on Mr.. Brodrick,
the Secretary of War was continued. Winston
Spencer Churchill Conservative declared Mr..
Brodricks expectations had only been realized
in t directions, namely. in the decrease in the
number OF volunteers and in the increase of ex-
penditures. The speaker further declared that
the whole army corps scheme was "humbug
and sham, and only introduced with the
object of militarizing England He asked where
the government expected the three army corps
intended for foreign service to operate. It was
not in South Africa, and such force was not
needed the Indian frontier and they GER
tainly could not contemplate the three army
corps operating in Canada. for the United States
was no more prepared to invade Canada than
Great Britain was prepared to invade the United
States" MI Churchill added amid cheers: And
long may that salutary neglect continue"
In the course of the debate the Liberal leader,
MIR. Asquth. expressed the general feeling when
he remarked that the debate was Of greater
significance than the division on it, and would
be remembered long after the six army corps
had vanished.
The criticisms followed mainly the lines of the
previous speeches The Premier. Mr.. Balfour,
in windin; up the debate for the government,
complimented Mr.. Asquith on going to the heart
of the question, namely, whether the army was
too large and costly for the empires needs Of
course, he said, the fleet stood first, but there
were limits to the of the fleet. II was i'm
possible to bring to end with feet,
which could not strike heavy blow at
most enemies with which Great Britain might
be engaged, without a strong attacking force of
soldiers, and it would be folly to deprive the
country Of means of offensive action in the
event Of an emergency. Mr.. Balfour contended
that three army corps were necessary for work
outside the empire. They had TO consider the
defence Of India. He regarded a war between
Great Britain and Russia as in the highest
degree improbable, but il impossible to for
get that the Indian frontier the key of
Great Britains military position in the event
of such war. and. without being an alarmist,
he wished to impress upon them that events
moved rapidly in Central Asia.
I'VE had TO consider" continued the Premier
''how far the strategic position OF Russia i'm
proved year by year. The Indian frontier is the
only part of the empire adjacent 10 a first class
military power. and in the improbable and un-
happy event of with Russia We should re-
quire not only all the available foIFes in India.
but all the forces that Mr.. Brodrick's scheme
places at the disposal OF the Crown"
In conclusion Mr. Balfour said that the gov
ernmert deserved well OF the country 1t did

CASE OF MRS. FAIRS FUKS.
American and Partisan Officials Exonerated
Substitution Proved.

Paris. Feb. 24.-The Investigation into the
Charles F. Fair was resumed before Consul
General Gowdy today Four aff1davits from
San Francisco witnesses We're read. One, made
by Marguerite Melbourne. Mrs. Fairs maid,
said the dark fur cloak and muf received in
the effects are not the Russian sable garments
which Mrs Fair possessed and used An affi-
davit of Charles s. Neal administrator of the
originally cost S4 600 and added that the ar
ticIes received were not the originals. Mr.. Neal
swore that to the best of his information and
belief the originals were abstracted from
Mrs Fairs effects and that inferior articles
were substituted and gave details of the care
taken by the American officials in Paris and in
the United States which completely eXonerated
them from any connection with the substitution
or knowledge of it. The other affidavits were
of the same character.
At Mr.. Gowdys request the appraisers. NM.
Chanel and Grunwaldt, have made written re-
appraisement of the furs returned from San
Francisco. The document sets forth that the
articles are Chinese sable, worth together S27O
and also states that the articles are not those
which they had previously appraised
The investigation, which Is still in progress,
has already fully estab blished the substitution
and has shown. that the American Consulate
never had possession of the articles. Mr.. Gowdy
also considers that the evidence indicates the
forwarding companies. The Investigation is not
sufficiently advanced to warrant more than sus-
picions regarding tho identity of those who are
responsible for the substitution.

Paris, Feb. 24.-Careful investigation elbows
that there IS no foundation for the imaginative
stories published in New-York accusing the
Paris police of stealing 81, 900 worth of jewelry
that belonged to Mrs. Ellen Gore Consul Cen
eral Gowdy, when questioned on the subject,
authorized me to state that he does not attach
the slightest credence to such e., ordinary
charges.
Nine Ponterie landady of the boarding
house at No. IL Avenue Grande Armee where
Mrs. Gore lived for the three months immedi-
ately preceding her death last November, told
me day that when Mrs. Gore came to her
house she had nc jewelry her person.
she never jewelry of any considerable
value and she was often in embarrassed finan-
cal circumstances, owing to the irregularity of
her remittances from America. Nine. Ponterie
said that Mrs. Gore had PLAN wedding ring,
which she usually kept in her bedroom on her
toilet table, and brooch or two of little in
trinsc worth.
When the inventory made by the United
States Consulate and the police every article
found was inscribed. There were no pawn tick
cts for jewelry any evidence of the sale or
of the existence of jewels other than few
trinkets OF slight value. These statements of
Nine. Ponterie were fully confirmed by the
chambermaid who attended Mrs. Gore and
looked after her room. The chambermaid also
said that Mrs Cores wardrobe and linen were
of the most economical and modest description,
indicating that she had not been in affluent
circumstances while in Europe.
In all we'll informed circles here the sensa-
tional stories published in New-York about the
alleged theft of Mrs. Cores jewels are regarded
as ridiculous flights of imagination. Moreover.
the denials from the Prefecture of Police are
emphatic and convincing. e. l. b

ex-Mayor Egozcde, which began last FRIDAY on
the charge of destroying the records OF the city

the only evidence of extensive peculations ana

acouittal Senor Egozcue's friends formed after
the trial. and. headed by a brass band, serenaded
the former Mayor The Republicans met to-
night TO celebrate his acquittai.
The principal arguments submitted by the
counsel for the defence at the trial were that
ex- Mayor Egozcue was not personally response
BILE for the burning of the records, as the various
departments of the city government were lnde-
pendent. and that the destruction of the re
ceipts did not prevent the discovery OF the
frauds In proof of the latter statement, 1t was
pointed out that defalcations amounting to
S6 600 had been discovered, and that If the re-
CENTS were in evidence they would only show
further frauds TO the amount of S2,Voo.

Ptoposai That He Name The Hague
TenesueIqn Irbitrdt0rs

Washington, Feb. 24.-A proposal has been
made to the allied powers that the Car OF
Russia be asked to name the three arbltrators
who, as The Hague tribunal, shall decide the
question of preferential treatment. The sugges-
ton has been approved by the State Depart
ment
In diplomatic circles the announcement of the
proposed compliment TO the Car is a subject Oh
comment tonight. The allies have not yet sig
nifed their acceptance of the suggestion. but
this is regarded as wenigh certain.
Count Cassini. the Russian Ambassador, Will
not be officially informed of the fact until all
the powers have agreed to the suggestion, when
hp will be asked to present the invitation TO MS
sovereign. The ambassador evidently was
pleased hearing of this renewed evidence or
friendship for his country on the part of the
United States and expressed his appreciation
of the courtesy.
Il can only say" the ambassador said to a
representative of The Associated Press, that
his majesty will deeply appreciate the comph-
ment to him which Mr. Bowen has proposed.
AS the parent OF The Hague tribunal his
majesty has all along watched with gratifying
interest the support the great peace court has
received from the United States, and for whose
President and people he cherishes the friend
lest esteem and regard.
At the French Embassy an official suggested
that it especially appropriate trlpute u
the founder of The Hague tribunal that he he
invited to select the personnel OF the court
which will pass on the first case TO be submitted
to 1t by European powers.
Drafts of The Hague protocols were SUD-
mitted to the representatives OF the ailles TO-
dav One feature of these protocols will proba-
bly, provide that the proceedings at The Hague
shall be conducted in the English language:
Another feature is that the arbitrators and not
tbe signatories to the protocols shall select the
facts on which they base their decision as 10
whether or not preferential treatment shan De
accorded The drafts of these protocols were
promptly cabled to the respective foreign ofnces
at London Berlin and Rome. :.
Another feature of the protocol as proposed Is
.ba+ 1be court of arbitration shall begin consid
ration of the question on September ana
render its decision within six months.
