WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Oficial

nouncements issued in Paris during
the peace conference, made their ap-
pearance here to-day after meeting
of the "Big Five" Of the conference
at the Pan-American Union.

mittee on program and procedure with
respect to the limitation of armament y
A drilling rain was falling, and few
of the pedestrians, huddled beneath
umbrellas, who happened to be passing
the building even glanced at the ar
irving notables.
First came Secretary Hughes and
some of his advisers. The chairman Of
the conference went at once to the
directors room on the second floor.
Arthur J. Balfour, in top hat and
morning coat, arrived next, with an
escort that included staff of technical
experts of the army and navy.
Premier BRAND, with an umbrella
and army and navy advisers. came
then, and on his heels Senator Shanzer
of Italian delegation, and Admiral
Kato, with more than a score of uni
formed Japanese army and naval Off
GERS. AS they filed in, smiling polite
", the marine sentry at the door held
himself rigid as he presented arms.
1t was II o'clock when the doors OF
the directors room were closed, and
opened again. Secretary Hughes, Pre-
mier BRAND, Admiral Kato, Mr.. Bal
four and the others filed out, entered
their automobiles and were driven
away.
Statement on Meeting
Before Mr.. Hughes could get away
he was pressed for some statement
concerning the deliberations. He e..
clined to talk then, saying that there
might be some statement later in the
day. There was such statement. II
follows:

Judge Van Fleet Refuses

File Bill of Particulars

Fifty-four of the sixty-five tile con-
tractors under Indictment in the
Federal courts here for violation of the
Sherman antitrust law pleaded
guilty on the fourth of the five counts
against them when the case was called
before Judge William C. Van Fleet yes
terday. Colonel William Hayward, the
United States attorney here, ut once
emphatically announced that in so
doing they acted without any agree
ment with the government for
ciemency. On the contrary, he, said,
the prosecution expected to demand
Jail sentences.
The count on which the defendants
changed their pleas involved the prac-
tices which, it was charged, they en-
ployed in furtherance of the alleged
conspiracy in restraint of trade. The
use of protection cards allowing the

No Statement on Other Counts
The prosecution made no statement
yesterday as to the probability of
dropping prosecution on the other four
counts, which involve the elimination

Just before the tile case was called
Judge Van Fleet had decided in favor
of the government on the motion of the
terrk Gotta dealers under trust indict-
ment asking for a full bill of particu-
lars. The question had been argued
before him last Thursday.
According to the Federal prosecutors
handling the building trades investiga-
ton, Judge Van Fleets decision on this
point is one of the most important re-
cent developments in trust litigation

Podell had pointed out in the argu-

Consideration of Measure

From, The Tribune's Washington Bureau

From, The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
Pomerene, Of Ohio, Democratic mem
Der of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, brought Secretary Hughes's naval
limitation plan up in the Senate to-day.
Indorsing it, he urged immediate con-
sideration of the resolution to clothe
the President with power to suspend
in whole or in part the construction of
warships while the conference on
armament limitation is in session. The
resolution was introduced last sum
mer.
Mr.. Pomerene gave notice that un-
less the Senate Naval Affairs Commit
tee makes an early report on the reso-
luton he would move to discharge the
committee from consideration Of it.
This would force test vote. The COM
mittee and naval officials are against
the resolution.
Senator Poindexter, acting chairman
of the committee, and Senator Walsh,
Of Montana, participated in the debate
aroused by Mr.. Pomerene. The discus
sion determined nothing, but it served
to make evident the keen interest of
the Senate in the naval program and
also to make clear that much will be
heard on this subject on the floor dur
ing the remainder of this session and
next.
Senator Pomerene contended that
for Congress to adopt his resolution at
this time would not only give the
President power to suspend construc-
tion as he saw fit, but would have an
important psychological effect, mas
much as it would show to the world
that Congress and the sentiment of the
American people stand back of
Hughes's proposals.
"Would Not Be Wasted"
Senator Poindexter took the view
that it construction had been suspend
ed, as desired by Senator Pomerene
this government would not have been
in position to submit such a proposal
as Secretary Hughes had submitted, for
the reason it would have had no con-
sideration to offer the other naval
powers.
Senator Walsh, who said he had not
favored suspension of construction
held the $33O,0O0,O0O which this gov.
ernment has expended on new con.
struction which it is now proposed tc
scrap would not be wasted. On the
other hand, he took the view it would
have been impossible to get other naval
powers to consider limitation provided
the United States had not adopted 8
vigorous building policy.
Senator Pomerene opened the discus
sion of his resolution by commencing
"the splendid speech made by the
President, as we'll as the very virile
address made by the Secretary Of State
to the conference" He then recalled
his resolution and proposed an amend
ment to the naval bill to authorize the
President in his discretion to suspend
construction for six months or while
the conference is on. He urged tn.
wisdom of adopting the measure now

Elkus Ill for Months
With Sleeping Sickness
Elk Ambassador to Turkey Re-
covering From Attack Which
Occurred Last January

Abram l. Elkus, formerly Ambassador
to Turkey, is convalescing at his home
at 956 Madison Avenue from an attack
of sleeping sickness, it was learned
last night.
He suffered the attack for the first
time last January and since then his
condition has not improved sufficiently
to permit him to go to his law office.
He will be able in short time, how
ever, to go downtown daily. His Office
is at Ill Broadway.
While his condition during recent
months caused concern to his friends,
it was said that Mr.. Elkus's strong
constitution kept him out Of real
danger.
Mr.. Elkus succeeded Henry Morgen-
thau as Ambassador to Turkey. He
was appointed last year to fill an un-
expired term in the Court of Appeals
and at the expiration Of this term re-
sumed his practice of law.

These had been rare days. At first

CHAPTER I.

September was at its last days on
the UmpQua divIde-that far wilder
ness OF endless, tree-clad ridges where
Dan Failing had gone for his last
days Everywhere the forest people
were preparing for the winter that
would fall so quickly when these gold
en- September days were done. The
Under Plane OF the forest-those
smaller peoples that live in the dust
and have beautiful, tropical forests In
the ferns-found themselves digging
holes and filling them with stores Of
food. OF course they had no idea on
earth why they were doing 1t. except
that culver at the end of their tails
told them to do so; but the result was
entirely the same. They would have
a shelter for the winter.
But the most noticeable change of
all, in these days of summer, was
distinct tone of sadness that sound
ed throughout the forest. OF course
the wilderness note Is always some
what sad but now. as the leaves fell
and the grasses died. 1t seemed par
ticularly pronounced. All the forest
voices added to 1.-THE wall of the
geese, the sad flutterng of fallen
leaves, and even the whisper Of the
north wind. OF course all the tones
and voices of the wilderness sound
clearest at night-for that is the time
that the forest really comes to life
and Dan Failing, sitting in front of
LennoX's house, watching the late
September moon rise over Bald noun
tain, could hear them very plainly.
