Interested because they, TOO. particu-
larry the British, have been seeking
solution of the problem OF room for
the board OF strategy. there is another
interesting phase OF the entrance or
such vessels into naval service.
IL has been realized for some time
that during the forthcoming arms con-
ference the question of limiting fight
ing ships must OF necessity take into
consideration each nations merchant
marine The merchant marine plays
part from two angles. First, a
country having a large merchant
marine and this is the contention OF
British and American naval authori-
ties must of necessity have a large

Tan Convert Merchant ships
ON the other hand, 1t is admitted
that even If actual fighting ships were
reduced in number those countries
having large merchant marines would
still have a dominating position be-
cause of the ease with which merchant
ships could be converted into vessels
OF war
The proposed conversion of a liner
of the type OF the Great Northern
into the flagship for the commander
OF the American fleet testifies TO the
potential use to which a merchant ship
might be turned in event of war. And
while the Great Northern will not be
armed as a warship. such, a course
would be only another step which, in
an emergency could be easily taken.
Plans Kept Secret
There is no doubt that merchant
marines will play conspicuous part
in the arms conference proceedings.

Father Picked Up a Pistol.
tey The Associated Pressl

BRISTOL, Va.-Tenn., June 3o-Neal
Murrell, aged 10, today told jury in
his trial in the circuit court at Blount-
vile, Tenn, that he killed his father.
Thomas Murrell, in self-defense on
March 10, at their home near Fall
Branch. MurrelI was on the stand
for more than two hours. He was
cross examined by Attorney General
o. B. Lovett for more than an hour.

planned to marry young woman and
that this was the subject of the
quarrel which led up to the shooting.
He said that following the quarrel his
father went to his room and that he
followed and began shooting when his
father picked up a revolver. The boy
testified that his father fired at him
one time before falling MORALLY
wounded.

Payne Aldrich duties would be the
subject OF unending and everlasting
controversy and discussion.
In the absence of the expected state
ment from Chairman Fordney, mem
bers generally found the 346 page bill
almost bewildering. There was re-
sentiment against some of the sched-
uIes by republicans, but broadly speak
ing members stood on the bill accord
ing to party affiliations. There was
a howl from some democrats over the
free list, which. they insisted, had
been too sharply reduced.
Before going into the preliminary
republican caucus tonight many rep
resentatives said it would take two or
three sessions to adjust all differences.
Mr.. Fordney's plan to have the bill
reported Saturday after a meeting of
the fun committee was changed, and
the meeting was called for Wednes-
day.
In view of the demand from mem
bers for information, Chairman Ford

if, on the other hand, the proposal is
calculated to depress and interfere

From this point of view, the newspa-

They buy on the silver basis and
when Dairen transactions are based
on a silver basis, as at present, they
are free from the danger of changes
in the parity of gold and silver. If u
gold standard is adopted they may de-
sert the Dairen market in favor of
Vladivostock or Hardin. Moreover,

DORSEY WITHDRAWS
PART OF CHARGES
Former Georgia Governor Admits He
Was Mistaken in Some
Statements.
ley The AssocIated Press

THOMASTON, Ga, June 30.-A let
ter from former Governor Dorsey con-
corning charges made in his pamphlet
1.-THE Negro in Georgia." regarding
treatment of Ed. White and his family,
negroes, was made public here today
by DR.. A. H. Black, and four other
members of a committee which was
appointed at a mass meeting to take
up the case.
The committees statement said that
knowing the charges made in the
pamphlet issued by Mr.. Dorsey while
governor were absolutely false, and
misleading, they had pledged ''unim-
peachable afffdavits' to refute them.
The letter, signed June %, while Mr..
Dorsey was still governor, was made
public as follows:
."After giving the matter full con-
sheraton, / beg to say that you seem
to have made out your case SO far
as some of the allegations in the
pamphlet are concerned. I feel COM
PEELED to accept the testimony offered
in the matter of the treatment OF Ed
White and his family III the jail and
concerning the time when the wife and
children OF Ed. White left Upson
county. You were Justlned also IN
objecting to the sentence in my state
ment which reads
The education of his children and
the success of his thrift seem to be
the sole offense of the negro I have
already acknowledged in public my
acceptance of Judge Searcy's state
ment denying the report of his having
said the negro would be put in the
chain gang.
Considering all the circumstances
and the impracticability within rea-
sonable time of threshing out these
details, it seems fair to you and best
all around simply to withdraw cases
