Retention of Submarine,
Bx The Assoclated Press J

Washington, Dec % (by the AS
soeiated Press 1.-The British state
ment in opposition to the use of
submarines was submitted to the
full naval committee today. The
presentation was followed by dis
cussion by the delegates of all the
powers on the submarine question.
The committee then adjourned un-
til o'clock tomorrow
Lord Lee, head of the British ad-
Imiralty presented the British argu-
ment for abolishment of subma-
rines. Mr.. Sarraut, head of the
French delegation, presented a
statement for France opposing
vigorously abolishment of subfna-
rines.
Italy, represented by Senator
urging retention of submarines.
Japan also took the same stand, her
representatives declaring that al
though Japan regarded the German
submarine warfare as barbarous,
Japan was not ready to abolish the
submarine as a naval weapon.
The American position was in.
dicated by the presentation and
reading to the committee of the
American advisory committees
unanimous report opposing abol-
ishment of submarines. American
delegates, however, did not declare
for or against submarines at this
time, but promised to take the Brit
ish and other statements under con-
sideration.
The British case was said to have
been stated very frankly by Lord
Lee. He was said to have con-
tended that the submarine was q
menace to the national life of the
British islands and that 1t consti-
tuted an especial menace to British
shipping. He also emphasized the
humanitarian factor,
1t was said to be probable that
at tomorrow's meeting further dis
cussion of the British proposal
would be followed by a decision:
In view OF the opposition OF
France, Italy and Japan and that
in prospect by the United States
against the British position, the
opinion in American circles was
that, falling to reach an agreement
for adjustment of the submarine,
the foreign delegates would be pre-
pared to accept the American plan
for a definite limitation of subma-
rlnes.

When Pol Murdered Slaughter
West Was Rid of Worst BadnlQn

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. a.
Especial "A prison grudge, end
ing with a bullet from the night.
brought to a close the long career
of crime by which Tom Slaughter
was known throughout the south
west as "the killer"
The target of one of the six men
he had liberated, a few hours be-
fore, from the Arkansas peniten-
tiary at Little Rock, the despera-
do died as he had lived, crouching
defiantly in wait for pursuing Of
ficers. In the fastness of the Ozark
hills he was shot from behind as
a posse approached the place
where he lay in hiding.
j. C. Howard, who fired the fa-
tai shot, was the only white man
among the six liberated by Siaugh-
ter in a spectacular escape from
the prison.
II left the prison with the In
tention of getting him the first
chance l got" was Howard's only
explanation.
Tom Slaughter left behind him
a crime record that dates back to
his early youth. He was born TWEEN
ty-seven years ago at Dallas, Tex.
and was reared in southern Arkan-
sas. When fourteen years old he
was convicted of grand larceny
and sentenced to the Arkansas re-
form school.
Began First Prison Term at IA.
Slaughter served his term. then
drifted into oklahoma. His oper-
tions for the next few years con-
sisted largely of a series of motor
car thefts throughout Texas, Okla
home and Arkansas. In 1916 he
escaped from the Dallas. Tex.
county Jail, one of the largest and
most strongly built in the south
west, liberating seven other pris-
oners at the same time. He was
arrested later in Oklahoma and
sent to the Texas penitentiary, but
escaped soon after. He was ar
rested the second time and es-
capped again.
One of Slaughter's most spectac-
ular escapes was in March, 1918.
With his brother, Dave Slaughter,
he was arrested in Oklahoma and
was being taken to Dallas by two
detectives in a motor car Slaugh-
ter leaped from the rear seat to q
position behind the wheel and
sped away, taking his brother
with him.
Numerous bank robberies in
Texas, oklahoma, Arkansas,
southern Missouri and southern
Kansas In the next two or three
years were laid to Slaughter. In
1917, while a prisoner at Nowata.
Okla, Slaughter held up the jail
err and escaped. He was recap
tured and placed in the Bartles-
Vile, Okla, prison, where he es-
capped three days later.
Still another escape was made
from a county Jail near Louisville,
KY. where Slaughter was being
held on a bank robbery charge.
Slaughter often boasted that he
never would go to theSs electric
chair. With Fulton (Kid) Green
he was arrested OctobeF2a, 1920.

was charged, the two were prepar-
ing to rob a bank. He was placed

Elderly People Need This
I'm Medicine Chest
To relieve chronic constipation, always
keep bottle of DR.. CsldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin handy.

NEARLY all people as they advance
IN in age suffer from chronic constipa-
ton. Many, however, are indifferent TO
the laxative they use, on the theory that
"they are all alike" That is a great
mistake.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, for ex-
ample, is mild, gentle liquid laxative,
and it does not lose its effect with re-
peated use. 1t SO trains the bowel
muscles that in time medicines Of all
kinds can be dispensed with.
A sixty-cent bottle OF DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will last many months.
The prescription was written thirty
years ago by DIR. w. B. Caldwell, a we'll
known family doctor, who is himself
now in his S2nd year and can APP
preciate what chronic constipation
must mean to elderly people; how it
brings on headaches, colds, loss of ap-
petite and sleep, heaviness and a
general dull feeling
Every home that has an elderly man
or woman should be provided with a
bottle of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Eight million bottles were bought at
drug stores last year, 1t is a truly
wonderful constipation remedy.
