man May BE Named To Fill
Personnel

lngton--President Harding has
made up his mind on the personnel of
the United States commission to par
iclpate in the Washington information
nj conference In reduction of anna.
ments, but he cannot foreclose the sub
Ject until exchanges with the. particI-
pating powers have defined some reg
ulation as to the number OF represen-
tatives each nation will have at the
conference table.
Speculation as to the probable mem
oership OF the American delegation
mas not changed the list as published
In the Chicago Tribune several weeks
ago after the president had told some
OF his advisors that he had I'm mind the
men he would like to name. Secretary
hughes has already been designated to
head the commission. For his collea-
CUES the president Is said to be consid
erng today, as he was two weeks ago,
the following:
Elihu Root, former secretary of state
Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman OF the
foreign relations committee of the sen.
ate.
Philander G. Knox, former secretary
Of state, and Republican member Of the
senate foreign relations committee.
Oscar Underwood of Alabama, Dem
ocratic senator and friend Of the pres
ldent.
George w. Sutherland, former Re.
publican United States senator from
Utah and international lawyer.
III more than five Americans are 20
be named 1t is possible that the pres.
ident may appoint woman on the
commission or some member Of the
house of representatives. That the
president will appoint Mr.. Root is be
lleved to be certain by those who have
discussed the subject with him.
Senator Lodge, by virtue of his po-
sitlon as chairman of the foreign re
latlons committee Is obviously entitled
to head the representation from the
senate.
Senator Knox, the president believes
to be emlnently qualified for member
snip on the commission, not because
he Is a SENATOR but because of his
familiarity with diplomacy and inter
national relations.
Senator Underwood is being consid-
cred AS representative of the minor
lily political party. The president g.,
known to admire Underwood and 4.
have great confidence In his ability.
Former Senator Switzerland Is re-
gard"d by the president as eminently
qualified for the delegation. He was
at one time seriously considered for
secretary Of state.
Whether the president will appoint
woman to the delegation no one knows
The president himself does not know.
He would like to, II is believed. Agl-
tatiOn for this by women's organlza-
lions continues daily. The National
League of Women Voters has asked
the president for an opportunity TO
present resolutions urging the name Of
a woman on the commission and wo-
men on any advisory committees which
may be formed during the conference.

position that surreptltion delivery not

POLII'S.

A large audience greeted the first showing of '-Earthbound" at Polls theatre last night This great pro- duction lives up to and beyond every claim that has been made for it. It is unlike any photopIay that has ever been exhibited in this city.
 The theme of ''lGarthbound" strikes a new note in scenario writing. Any story that has to do with the great mystery of life after death is bound to be interesting but "Eearthbound'' treats this subject with suck art and ; skill that the audience finds itself swept into the current of a spontan- -~eous appreciation. As the big audi ence filed out of the theatre last night. the most f1attering comments were ehard on all sides and every body predicted a record-breaking at tendance during the ermainder of the engagement of this master crea- tion-
 "Earthbound'' will be shown at Polls theatre today and on Tuesday and Wednesday, There will also be an excellent vaudeville bill featuring s'Two Little Pals" tabloid musical comedy with plenty of comedy, pretty gils richly gowned. special scenery and clever comedians. RudeI and Dupnigaan, a fast singing and talking act, will be teh added attraction. Salvation Sue," a sketch in which 0ctavia Hanworth and Gordon De- Mane are starring, will be well re- ceived. Earl and Sunshine in a senti- mental comedy skit entitled To-day and Yesterday will also appear. Dawson, Lannigan and Covert com plete a well-rounded performance.

, and spaghetti, discovers his wife pre- fers a house dress, home-cookins and knitting.
 Sounds like a problem and the two husbands are quite sure they have made the greatest mistakes of their lives. They hold a conference and decide that before they continue numberlesS years under these condi- tions they had better summon at torneys and see what can be done via the divorce route. Each intends to marry the others wife and thus straighten out the situation. Having been duly informed by the husbands of the contemplated step, the wives decide they are both crazy and agree to the pact in order to teach the husbands a lesson. They demand a trial marriage of one week before starting court proceedings. Just what happens during that week is the punch of the picture and well worth seeing.
 There is series of situations in t'So Long Letty'' that both tickle the funny bone and give opportunity for serious thought. A problem which many married couples encounter in everyday life is presented in a manner to leave a. deep impression without creating a bad taste. It proves that at times it is perfectly simple to 'tcarry on" provided the disgruntled individual is taught a good lesson.

 It was in vain that I asked Holmes to remain for the evening. It was evident to me that he thought he might bring trouble to the roof he was under, and that that was the motive which impe1led him to go. With
 afew hurried words as to our plans for the morrow he rose and came oui1 with me into the garden, chamber ing over the wall which leads into Mortimer Street, and immediately whistling for hanson, in which I heard him drive away.
 In the morning I obeyed Holiness 1 injunctions to the letter. : A hanson was procured with such precautions as would prevent it's being one which immediately after breakfast to the Lowther Arcade, through which l hurried at the top of my speed.

 So far all had gone admirably. My luggage was waiting for me and I had no difficulty in finding the car riage which Holmes had indicated,

There was no sign of him. I spent a few min uteS in assisting a venerable Italian priest, who was endeavoring to make porter understand, in his broken English, that his luggage was to be booked through to Paris. Then, having taken another look round, I returned to my carriage, where I found that the porter, in spite of the ticket, had given me my decrepit I.aliarf friend as a travelling compan- ton. It was useless for me to ex- plain to him that his presence was an intrusion, for my Italian was even
 more limited than his English, so I
 shrugged my shoulders resigned1y, and continued to look out anxfously
 for my friend. A chill of fear had
 come over me, as I thought that his
