DISARMAMENT MOVE
MADE IN THE SENATE
Senator Walsh of Montana Presents
Resolution Asking Wilson 10
Reconsider.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ll.-.Senator
Walsh Of Montana, introduced in the
Senator to-day q resolution asking
President Wilson to reconsider his re-
fusel 10 send n commi ssion 10 Geneva
to discuss disarmament. II was re-
ferred to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. II was the first mention Of the
league in the Senate at this session.
In discussing the resolution Senator
Walsh said the Presidents reason as
given was utterly inadequate" and
open 10 misconstruction.
1T should make no difference
whether we are or are not member
OF the League" said Senator Walsh,
who declared that the American peo-
pie were interested in Joining in any
movement looking to world wide dis
armament.
Senator Walsh said the "lamost in
conceivable sum" OF nearly $500, %
O0O, 900 asked this year for the army
and navy would give grounds for an
unjust suspicion that America had
imperialistic designs, and added that
he would like TO test the temper Of
both Houses" of Congress on the dis
armament proposals.

BROKEN ROMANCE
CAUSED SUICIDE
Of BETTY TEWS
SuppoSition That She Ended
Her Life When Tilted, Not
Borne Out BY Friends.
SUITOR FROM THE WEST.
Relatives Said to Have Forbid
den Her to Have Anything
TO Do With Him.

The supposition that Miss Betty
Tevis, the eighteen-yenr-old Ken
lucky girl who killed herself with a
pistol shot in the home OF her sister,
Mrs. Joseph t. Talbert. No. ITO East
54th Street, had been Tilted and took
her life in disappointment and NOR
tncation, is not borne out by the
statement OF close friends OF the
family.
Their version, backed by what they
say is absolute knowledge of tho cir
cumstances, is practically Identical
with the version published yesterday
in the Evening World that Miss Tevls
committed sdiclde because she had
been forbidden to have anything fur
ther to do with u young man from
tho West who had completely fasci-
mated her Her sister found that the
man was not a proper suitor for Betty
pevis's hand and their relationship
was Immediately broken or by Ms.
Talbert
The additional facts which were
learned by Tho Evening World to-day
from friends Of the Talbert fnmlly
disclose the young man as having
come from Tulsa, Oklahoma, where,
he told those he met here in the city,
he held n prominent position with a
big oil company, Also he told them
that he was a member of the Yale
Club of this city and gave a telephone
number in Orange N. J.. ms that OF
his home.
1t was not until the young friends
Of Miss Tevis were admitted to the
secret of her engagement to the tall,
handsome blond Westerner, that Mrs.
Talbert decided 1t was high time to
make some inquiry about him and
his antecedents and prospects.
Last Monday the son Of n we'll
known importer of this city who had
long been a friend of the Talbert
household, called at tho Talbert resi-
dence with man from Tulsa who

This man said that he knew the young
man who was so attached to Miss
Tevis and informed Mrs. Talbert that
he had a record in several Western
cities for passing bad checks and Civ
ing worthless l. o. us and had been,
in fact, run out Of Tulsa
Further inquiry disclosed that he
was not known at the Yale Club
nor by the oil company nor at the
Orange residence whose telephone
number he had given. He was re-
ported to be a frequenter of the Bilt-
more and Ritz Carlton Hotels

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE
scope OF the New York investigation
into conspiracy among building sup
ply men and organized labor is to be
widened IL Senator Calder is success
ful in getting favorable consideration
for a resolution he will present on
Monday granting authority to APP
polnt counsel TO assist his Commit

wide conspiracy similar to that un-
covered in New York.
Senator Calder's committee has re-
Gently visited many States studying
housing conditions and retardation of
building operations. Senator Kenyon

declares an immediate necessity
exists for the speeding up Of building
to save great misery and unhealthy
moral conditions growing out of the
house shortage. In his opinion, tho
Nation is short 100000 homes, and
he declares that anything which OBJ
structs building operations should be
promptly removed.
The proposed inquiry will cover the
following phases of the situation:
Growing unemployment and the
relation Il bears to the stoPpagS
Of building operations.
Tremendous shortage Of hous.
ing facilities in practically every
large city and the unrest induced
by such conditions.
High cost Of building and the
causes.
Possible eonspiraeies among
building supply men. contractors
and labor leaders, such as were
exposed in the New York inVesti-
gation, and tho relation such con-

building.

According to unofficial advices.
armed bands attacked the post office
at Cavan, the railway stations at

LONDON, Dec. lit is strongly
believed here that responsible Irish
leaders are prepared to accept the
offer of Premier Lloyd George for
conference and there is every rea-
son to hope that some form Of agree

fear is that Sir Edward Carson and
he Tories may block the whole plan

posed to anything approaching a
compromise in Irish affairs.

The predominating fact, however. was
that my folks were coming home, and
I knew that my affection for Mrs. Sid

affection for Isohel tragedy.
