Inquiries have been started to Sec
what facilities OF this Kind each dele
cation desires This problem Is not
an easy one to solve. as Washington
Is not great business city, having
relatively few office buildings. More
over, what space In available here is
nearly all occupied. and 1t Is likely
to be as difficult task to get office
room as to provide living quarters.

Assembly Hall Problem.
Another angle of the situation
which is causing a great DIAL OF
trouble fs the obtaining OF n proper
hall in which the public sessions may
be held. Washington is not provided
with any large hall sufficiently mod
ern TO handle open sessions of a con-
ference as dignihcd and important az
the disarmament, discussions. The
suggestion that theatre be used was
brought forward, but was rejected
promptly because the delegates might
appear to be performers and might
be made a little ridiculous by such a
proceeding.
Although the principal conferences
win be open, the everyday. unofficial
citizen will not have a chance OF hear
ing a word OF the discussions on ac-
count OF this lack of a large modern
hall with good acoustic properties.

| 1t was during the war and for many
months thereafter.
The State Department is at work
now surveying the situation from all
angles. The embassies or the military
and naval powers have been asked TO
find out from their governments ex-
.2ctiy how many will be included In
their delegations. and the indications
are that the SMALLEST delegation from
any OF the more important nations
will number at least hundred. Great
Britain is understood to have asked
that two hotels be provided to take
care of its delegates. Japan Is ex-
pccted TO notify the State Depart
ment that its delegates and their ex-
perts. assistants. clerks, stenogru-
phcrs. and the like. will number be-
twean 200 and 400. In addition to the
OF England, France,
Italy, and Japan. almost every other
country in the world whether a mill
tafy or naval factor or not, is expect
cd to have a delegation of official OBJ
servers at the conference.
IIordes of News Men.
In addition to the huge official dele
cations, there will be hundreds OF
newspaper correspondents from ALI
over the world who will cover the
parleys until the sessions end, and un-
officially the state Department will
take n hand TO see that these men are
comfortably housed. While the state
Department has nothing TO do with
American visitors coming TO Wash

will visit the already crowded city

GIN to pour into the city ut least six
weeks I'm advance of the opening OF

main all winter IL the official guesses
as to the length of the parleys prove
good ones.
Washington. unlike other great
capitals of the world, is not the
metropolis as well as the political
center of the country. London, Paris,
Berlin. Rome. Tokyo. and every other
capital city of Importance in the
world. is also the largest city of its;
nation. Paris had no great difficulty
IN assimilafing the. huge delegations
which poured into it at the time of
the Peace Conference. This case of
Washington is different.
There is discussion now of a world
financial conference in Washington mt
the same time that the disarmament
parleys are under way. The two
questions are SO woven together that
limitation OF arnaments cannot well
bc considered apart from internation-
al finances and trade. As a matter of
fact. il is doubtful if the disarma-
mont congress would have a fair
chance of success. or would have been
held. unless the worlds great nations
were in debt. their people supporting
an almost crushing burden of taxa

navy expenditures will tighten ma
terially.
These two great meetings will bring
to Washington approximately 10000
people who. ordinarily would not bc

pushed hard for places to house all
of the people who must make this city

and a moderate protective tariff
were among proposals for a federal
financial program approved today
by directors of the national auto
mobile chamber of commerce.
Elimination of the proposed 81"
000,000,000 increase in depart
mental estimates for 1922; reduc-
ton of the military and naval pro-
gram ''to it's lowest practicable
point" and further slash of 10

Court Orders a Night SeS-
sion Held in Order to Ex-
pedite Matters in Los An
qeIes Murder Hearing
(By The Associates Pross)

Los Angeles, Calf. Feb. 4.-The
trial of Mrs. Louise IL. Peete, for
the alleged murder of Jacob
Charles Denton, wealthy mining
promoter, was near its end early
tonight.
Judge Frank r. Willis ordered a
night session for the completion rof
arguments, and, if possible to de-
Ever his charge and submit the
case TO the jury.
W. n. Aggeler, acting public de-
fender, finished the last argument
for the defense shortly before 6 p.
m, and adjournment was taken I'M
til 1880, when Thomas Lee Wool
wine, district attorney, was pre-
pared to deliver the final argu-
ment for the prosecution in support
of it's demand for the death penal
ty.
Mr.. Aggeler attacked what he
termed the general unreliability'
of circumstantial evidence, saying
the states case had been built en-
tirely upon testimony of this kind.
He said the evidence showed that
persons other than the defend
ant" could have committed the
crime, if a crime had been COM
mitted.
T. Asks for Fair Treatment"
Mr.. Aggeler asked the jurors for
fair treatment" of the case.
The assertion that three men
called as witnesses by the state
had unlimited chance to murder
Denton" and "plenty of reason"
was made by Robert H. Scott, as
sistant public defender, who opened
the arguments for the defense.
Raymond 1. Turney, assistant
district attorney in the opening adj
dress for the state declared the
guilt of the defendant had been
proved "beyond all doubt"
In conclusion the deputy said:
Having proved the defendant
guilty of cold blooded, premedi-
tated murder, that she shot Jacob
Charles Denton, like a coward, in
the back, and robbed his body while
it still was warm, the people of
the state Of California ask you gem
tlemen of the jury, to find her
guilty and inflict the extreme PEN
atty of the law"

NOMINATION Of
ARMY OFFICERS
Senate Is Expected to Con-
firm Those Below Grade

Is Announced

Washington. FEB, 4.-StepS look
ing to the confirmation by the SEN
ate of proposed promotion of army
officers below the grade Of briga-
der general were taken late today
by republican leaders. who indi-
Gated, however. that confirmation
could not be expected of eleven
major and twenty-five brigadier
generals selected by President Will
son.
Nominations of several thousand
army officers of the grade of
colonel and below, upon request OF
Senator Wadsworth:- republican,
New York. were referred to the mill
itary committee OF which he is
chairman. Their early confirna-
ton, at least in part. is planned.
Senator Wadsworth also secured
reference to his committee of the
nomination of Brig. Gen. Frank
Mcintyre, chief of the insular af-
fairs bureau, to similar rank in the
line. A specific exception of Cen
eral McIntyres case was made,
Senator Wadsworth said. because
he would be forced out of the army
unless his nomination were con-
firmed before March 4.
Democrats Register a kick"
Senators Robinson Of Arkansas
and Swanson of Virginia. both
democrats, complained vigorously
against the republican plan OF
holding up combinations Of the
eleven major generals and twenty
two brigadier generals nominated.
Senator Swanson also objected to
holding up nominations of navy
officers, except bureau chiefs. but
Senator Lodge. republican. Massa-
chusetts, said the navy officers
were in a different position than
the army officers, because, he ex-
planned, the navy officers would
hold over until December 81. and
could be confirmed in the next
congress.
Senator Robinson asked that all
army nominations be sent to the
military committee for considera-
ton and when Senator Smoot, re-
publican, Utah. objected, charged
that politics was being injected"
into army promotions. ..
1T is the first time in our his
tory" said Mr.. Robinson, that
promotions in the army have de-
hberately been made the football
of politics. 1t is a sad day for the
army and for the senate when pro-
motions are made the subject OF
political influence"
Senator Robinson declared that
refusal to consider the nominations
of generals was "a humiliation and
disgrace. a reflection on every gall
liant soldier in the list"
Lodge Fires Hot Shot.
Denying that any reflection was
cast upon the general officers. Sem
ator Lodge said that the country
had not forgotten the politics that
kept Theodore Roosevelt from go
ing to France and that kept Gen.
Leonard Wood az home"
There has been favoritism and
some injustice" he added. stating
that "the next president should be
allowed to look over the list or
general officers recommended for
promotions"
Senator Swanson said that all the
generals named had given gallant
service overseas and yet. he add
ed, their promotions have been held
up two years.
