GENEVA. Dec. 11.-(By the Asso- ciatde Press) World disarmament must be slow and gradual process, the league of nations assembly com mission which has been deliberating on the question more than three weeks, decided today. Opinions or leading members are that neither the political situation nor public opinion is yet ready for full realization of that object.
 In fact, even beginning reduction of armaments is not considered possible by the commission at present. Accord ingly. the program to be presented to the assembly is to proceed in three stages. The first involves an agree ment between the powers to make no further increase in armament The second will provide a gradual reduc- tion on a basis to be laid down by the armament commission. The third will provide for general and complete disarmament when it may be found that the situation permits it.

 Members Appor,.oned
 The covenant again gave rise to long and confused debate in the as sembly this afternoon. The question was how to choose the four elected members of the council The con- mittee, which decided the most i'm portant point by only one majority. after a long discussion p.vposed that the terms of these members be linn ited to two years and that members shall be eligible for reelection for two years more. then ineligible for the succeeding four years. This provision is intended to facili- tate access to the council to all mem bers of the league
 Another provision which was more stoutly contested apportioned mem bers among the different continents, Europe and the Americas getting three and Asia one. The provision is held contrary to the covenant which provides that the assembly provides shall freely" choose the members or the council, while apportionment would tie the hands of the next as- sembly.

REALTORS HOLD LUNCHEON.
Discuss Plans for Advertising and
Publicity Campaign

More than forty realtors, members
of the recently formed Topeka real es-
tate board, met at luncheon today at
the Chamber of Commerce.
Thomas Healy, secretary of the
Kansas City real estate board, was the
principal speaker. Healy told Topeka
real estate men of the Kansas City or
ganization and made suggestions
which he believed might satisfactorily
be instigated in the Topeka organiza-
ton.
It is the intention of the local
board to give the word Realtor all
possible prominence in advertising and
publicity to influence all local dealers
to become members of the board.
Healy told why it was to the advan-
tage of every real estate dealer in any
city to belong to the local board.
Plans for a future campaign of adver-
Using and publicity were discussed.
The luncheon meeting today was the
first of a series. The dealers will
probably plan for a regular luncheon
date as have the organizations of sew
eral other lines of business.

CHARGE CITYS NEGLIGENCE
Motor Car Owners File Damage Claims
Due to High Weeds.

Two claims for damages. alleged to
have resulted from high weeds, were
presented to the city commission to-
day.
John D. johnson and James Jordan
asked $2,500 damages for an accident
which they claimed occurred at Third
and Ash streets on the night of June
TO- The northeast corner of that inter-
section, they claim, was covered with
weeds six feet high. Jordan was driV-
ing in an ordinary manner, the claim
asserts when he was hit by a Stude-
baker car going north on Ash. His
car, a Hudson Super-siX, was practically
demolished, the driver was injured and
the passengers hurt, it is claimed. The
Hudson car was used as a taxi and
was engaged in legitimate business at
the time of the accident, according to
the owners.
Robert Eide asked $1,000 for
damages said to have been done to his
Studebaker car at Broadmoor avenue
and Ashland street last week. He
claims he was going at a moderate
speed and that high weeds were re-
sponsible for the collision in which
the damages were sustained.
The commission did not seem dis
posed to grant either claim and filed
them.

QUIET FOLLOWS CHURCH RIOT
Troops Sent to Scene of Staying Are
RecalIed-One Was Killed.

Monroe, Mich. June 29-Quiet
prevailed today in the district sur
rounding Robideaux Corners, near
here, following disorders that resulted
in the killing of one man and wound
ing of another, following a religious
controversy. State police. sent here
last night to prevent renewal of the
disorders, have Returned to their
headquarters.
According to Captain c. V High,
in command of the troopers. the
shooting was the result of feeling
aroused over remarks alleged to have
been made by an evangelist during a
revival meeting. Rumors that a mob
was coming out from Toledo to burn
the church, kept the troopers on the
alert thruout .he night, but no trouble
occurred.
No arrests have been made, the au-
thorities being unable thus far to fix
responsibility for the shooting.

Last Weeks Contracts Largest
Since War Started.
Fred Cooper Makes Encourage
ing "Boom" Report Today.
PRICES HAVE REACHED PEAK
Contractors and Architects Now
Bidding as Of Old.
Home Builder Still Sits Tight
For Price Drop.

More large and public building
contracts have been let in Kansas in
the last weel@than in any week since
before the war" said Fred Cooper.
editor of the Kansas and Oklahoma
Construction News. today.
Building has taken a decided i'm
petus," he says, land now that the
high prices on building materials are
known to be here to stay. and the
contractors and architects are not
afraid of a big boost, they are bidding
on jobs. -
Peak Has Been Reached.
Tho reason for the slump in build
ing productions recently, Cooper at
tributes to the fact that the contract
ors were afraid to bid on jobs for fear
of a big jump in building materials.
Now they are sure the peak has been
reached and as many as six and eight
contractors are bidding where hardly
one would bid before. Public build
ing are also going up. Since the war
and during the times of uncertain
prices, the building of houses, places
of business and public structures
have been dragging slightly, and altho
houses and residences are not being
erected, necessary business esta blish-
ments are going up.
The head of the house is still wary
and is hoping prices of building ma
terials will take a drop. He is out of
luck. however, for according to Coop
er, building materials are up and will
stay up perhaps five, ten or fifteen
years.
Home Builder Can Wait.
Residences are not being built for
obvious reasons" Cooper says. 1.-The
main one is that they can wait. If a
man has a place to house his family
and the prices of building materials
are up in the air, he knows he can
wait. On the other hand, a business
man knows that a new building will
be an asset to him, therefore, he can
not afford to wait for five or ten
years for prices to come down, and he
goes ahead and builds, and the profits
will nav him eventually

HERE is BRYAN'S PACT PLAN
Commoncr Would Have Treaties Rati-

San Francisco, June 29.-The treaty
plank which William ]. Bryan will
endeavor to have adopted by the Dem
ocratic convention was made public
today.
1t calls for immediate converting of
the senate to adopt a constitutional
amendment for ratification of treaties
by majority vote, $50 that it will be
as easy to end a war as it is to de-
clare war" for ratification of the
treaty with Germany with such res
ervations as a majority of the sena-
tors may agree upon, reserving for the
future the making of such changes as
we may deem necessary" and appoint
ment by the president of American
delegates to the League of Nations to
serve until regularly chosen delegates
are elected and qualified.
Election of permanent delegates
should be by direct vote of the people,
the plank says, and they should be in
structed not to vote for war except
upon specific instructions by con-
gress or the people. These delegates
should be instructed, the plank says. to
insist upon world disarmament as the
foundation of enduring peace.

$500 REWARD FOR LYHCHERS
Governor ProcIaims Attempt to Find
Negro Killers.

Gov. Henry ]. Allen today issued a
proclamation that a reward of $500
would be paid by the state to anyone
furnishing information that would
lead to the conviction of any person
or persons involved in the lynching
of Albert Evans. a negro. at Mulberry,
Crawford county, April IS.
The governors offer of a reward
followed the receipt of a. letter from
T. w. Bell. negro attorney at Leaven-
worth and state representative of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. in which Bell
stated that he had made a weeks in
vestigation of the lynching and felt
that money was the only inducement
that would make anyone turn states
evidence.
In his letter Bell stated that no
matter how dreadful the crime was he
as a representative of the national
society felt that the persons guilty
of taking a human life should be made
to pay for their disregard of the law
of the land.
The lynching grew out of an at
tack on a white girl by Evans and a
white boy. The negro was lynched
by a mob. The white boy was sent
to state prison.
