Hughes said he could not disclose what had transpired further than to say that general subjects relat- ing to the agenda of the arms confer ence had been talked over and it had been demed advisable to cal in navy officials for that purposes.
 The fact that Secretary Denby and his advisers were summoney to meet with the American delegation led 70 the conclusion that the preliminary review and discussion of data prepared for The conference had reached a point where formulation Of some proposal for limit ation of naval armament had been take nup by the American group to be presented at an appropriate moment Mhen the conference convenes next month Secretary Hughes, however would not indicate in any way what had been discussed during the sessior i in his office.
 l It has been generally agreed among government officials that the formula tion of a programme for the limitation
 of naval armament would be the mos seriuos problem to face the information

RAILROAD STRIKE WILL BE
 TOUGH OF FOOTBALL FANS

Football fans in all sections Of me country will be deprived of some of the choicest games if the railroad brotherhoods carry thru their decision to call a national strike on Oct. 30. Connecticut, however, should be little affected as practically all trips are short enough to be made by motor.
 Although the first group of railroads will not be affected until a. m. on Sunday, Oct. 30, a few of the games 0' 0"+"her 29 will be wiped out by the strike. or instance, Georgia Tech. alter the game with Penn State at the Polo Grounds, will find the return trip difficult. The only hope lies in the fact that some of the eastern and southern roads are included in the second group which will not be affected until Tues day, Nov. 1.
 Another big battle endangered on Oct. 29 is the Harvard Center same, which a good many people will want to see for the Center team will have a long return trip to make to Dan vile, Ky.
 Virginia after the game at Prince ton, and Pittsburgh, after the game at Philadelphia with Penn, on the same afternoon, should find return fairly ea- sy.
 In the west the Chicago Colorado tussle at Chicago may have to be cancelled.
 Saturday, Nov. should the strike be in full blast, the Army -NotEe Dame engagement at West Point certainly will be impossible.
 None of the three big games on Nov. will be interfered with The Harvard team will be able to get as far as New York by boat. and gan cov- CT the remaining distance to Princeton in automobiles.

Beach Wins Annulment
From Sea Captains Wife
Her Claim That First Husband
Had Remarked Disregarded
by Appellate Division

The Appellate Division yesterday de-
cided in favor of Richard Edward
Beach, thirty years old. of 100 West
127th Street, in his suit against Mrs.
Mary Edna Beach, forty years old, for
an annulment Of their marriage.
Beach's story was that he had known
the defendant two years before their
marriage and saw her about three
times . week in that time. But there
was never any courtship, he said, and
not even on his wedding day did he
have any intention of marrying.
II happened to be out with her on
Z Sunday night" said Beach, "and she
suggested it to me. I said, 'All right
She said, Meet me at the Twenty-third
Street ferry and we will 60 to New
Jersey"
It was all SO sudden to Beach, he
said, but he kept the appointment
They crossed the river and were mar
ried. Subsequently Beach says he
learned that his wife had another hus-
band living, one Captain James Wood
worth, master Of a vessel, whom she
had married in 1900. On this informa.
tion the husband brought his suit for
annulment. Although Mrs. Beach was
able to prove that Captain Woodwork
had remarked, the Appellate Division
refused to consider this testimony in
the absence Of proof by her that she
and Captain Woodwork had been di.
y0rced before she married Beach.

Sammy Jay was doing one Of the
hardest things to do in all the Great
World, being patient when he was i'm
patient. He was tired of sitting hid
den in that big cedar tree in Farmer
Browns dooryard. His wings fairly
itched to take him over to the Green
Forest. 1t was the hardest kind Of
work to keep them still. But he did.
He knew that patience was the only
way to succeed in what he had set out
to do. And it wasn't for just himself
for himself. 1t was for all the little
people Of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows. This made it little
wee bit easier.
What was Sammy doing? He was
waiting for Whitley the Snowy Owl, the
big white robber from the Far North.
to appear near Farmer Browns hen
yard. He might not come that day. In
that case Sammy would have to be pa
tient another day. 1t would have made
it lot easier could Sammy have been
sure that Whitley would come. He
felt it in his bones that Whitley would,
but this was very different from know
ing for sure that he would.
After time Sammy closed his eyes
just for minute or two. They ached
from staring out over the snow for so
long. When he opened them he blinked
quite as If he doubted those eyes which
had never failed him. On the roof Of
Farmer Browns henhotfse sat straight
white forml 1t hadn't been there when
Sammy closed his eyes. but there it
was now! He had heard no sound, not
the faintest. Yet there sat that
straight, big white form on the roof of
the henhouse, just as if it had been
there all the time.
There was no mistaking who II was;
1t was Whitley the Snowy Owl, the very
one for whom Sammy had been waiting
80 long. He could see the great, round,
nercc, yellow eyes glaring down into
the henyard. He could even see the
disappointment In them at discovering
that the .henyard was empty. Sammy
opened his mouth and at the top Of his
lungs began to scream.
THIEF! thief! theft" he screamed.
He saw Whitley turn his head and
glare over ut the big cedar tree, and
tbs fierce look in those eyes almost
made Sammy lose his voice. But 1t
didn't quite, and he continued to
scream Thief theft thief theft"
I. With a feeling OF great relief he
heard the door of Farmer Browns
house open and saw Farmer Browns
boy look out ~ sss what all that fuss

Farrell's Blow
Excluded From
BanoonRecord
Inquiry Closes With All the
Testimony That Could Be
Made Base for Holding
Court Martial Explained
Lieutenant Excused Early
Official Report of Flight and
an Account of Rigors of
Travel Are Documented

The flight of the navy's free balloon
A-5598 into the heart Of the Canadian
wilderness passed officially into his
tory yesterday when the naval court of
inquiry at the Rockaway Air Station
ended its sessions.
So far as the official records Of the
navy are concerned, nothing occurred
on this historic fight that affected the
friendship of the three officers who
made it. The blow struck at Mattice
by Lieutenant Farrell In moment of
excitement following the hardships he
had experienced never was delivered,
so far as the official record will show.
The final session lacked the dramatic
elements that marked the original ac-
counts given by Lieutenants Kloor,
Hinton and Farrell. It's business
chiefly was in checking up and clarity
Ing the evidence taken on previous
days.
Record Made Straight
The only incident that attracted at
tention was the cross animation of
Lieutenant Walter Hinton by former
Attorney General David Senft, counsel
for Lieutenant Farrell. This arose out
of the fact that when Hinton. in his
testimony regarding the incident at
Mattice stated that Farrell "flew into
a rage" Farrell automatically was
made an interested party and subject
to court-martial for conduct unbecom-
ing an officer.
Explain what you meant by flew
some preliminary yNqu questioning. ; Hu.1' al'er
II might state" replied Hinton.
that he was in an excited condition.
"You did not mean that he flew into
q rage because you entered the room.
did your queried Senft.
'"Was he very violent at the time?"
Apparently So"
Would you say this could have been
caused by the strain Of the trip?"
Farrell Excused EARLY
II would say it was"
This series of questions and answers
cleared the record of any possible
charges drawn from it.
Lieutenant Farrell appeared early in
the day, but was so ill he was excused
after stating there was nothing more
he could add to his testimony.
Lieutenant Kloor read into the rec
ord brief official report of the flight,
and Lieutenant Hinton read into the
record statement of the hardships Of

ident of the court, announced the re-
port of the inquiry would be forwarded
to the Secretary of the Navy. He de-
clared the court would make no rec
ommendation. Final word as to whether
there is sufficient evidence in the rec
ord to warrant court martial will
come from Secretary Josephus Daniels,
If the head of the Navy Department
chooses to order further proceedings.
