Borah Disarmament Resolution
Meets With Endorsement, But
Some Editors SkeptioaI.
py international News service.


TOKYO. July e.-"Is The United
States PREPARED to entrust the de-
Tense OF the far east to the Japanese
navy9
with this as a leading question, the
Tokyo Nichi Nichi takes up the ques-
tion OF a possible disarmament con-
ference called by President Hard
ing.
The Nichi Nichi fears that, even II
the conference were held, IL would
prove a failure.
Other Japanese newspapers as well
as the Nichi Nichi question the mo-
tives of the United States and de-
clare that the general American pol
icy is not in line with an apparent
desire to retrench in ornaments.
"The passage of the Borah pesolu-
tion in the United States is proof of
Americas desire for retrenchment in
the matter of naval expenditures"
said the Nichi Nichi.
There have been naval agreements
concluded between rival maritime
powers in the past. One of them was
concluded between England and
France. and the result was that Eng
N2rth Sea. while France undertook
the patrolling OF the Mediterranean.
But this particular agreement does
not serve as a pointer to the eoun-
tries which are involved in the pres
ent proposal for a conference. Eng
lish and French could agree on the
demarcation of their own held be-
cause they felt a menace from Ger
many In the event of DISARMAMENT
being discussed by America. Great
Britain and Japan, there Is no COM
mon enemy to necessitate the divis-
ion of the field of service OF each of
the countries concerned.
"If the proposed Arrangement is
TO do anything IL must end compe-
ution in the Pacific. But how are the
powers to divide their respective
fields in that part OF the world? Is
the United States prepared to en-
trust the defense of the Far East to
the japanese navy.
All indications point to the prob
able failure OF this arrangement. The
United States is opposed to the idea
or conhning her navy to any other
sphere but the Far East.
Those acquainted with the history
OF the present naval program of the
United States realize that there is no
ground for belief that the United
States will keep out OF Eastern Asia
II lie known that IL is part of Ameri-
cas- program to extend her zone of
influence In Asia.
AT the proposed conference the
question of limiting construction and
the abolishing of submarines as
suggested by the league of nations
would be taken up; but
there is no reason to believe that
such action would be adopted. Exist
ing conditions are the clearest an
swer to this and other similar propo-
sitions"
The SPECIFIC answer is provided by
Great Britain. Great Britain is one
OF the strongest supporters of a
naval holiday Her finances are not
m satisfactory condition. Neverthe-
less she has decided upon a signih-
cant program-a program providing
for the building of some OF the most
powerful battleships the world has
ever known.
when the problem Is thus consid-
cred one cannot but feel that there
Is little hope of the proposed arms-
ment conference arriving at any de-
cIsion which will make a permanent
reduction OF armsments"

Says Pomeranian Dogs Growl in Tenor
and Bark in Falsetto
BY JOHN p. MEDBURY.

MEDBURY.
They're what you call wrist
watch dogs.
Sportsman call them cushion
boards. They can't sleep on any
thing but an upholstered chair.
They can't get a good nights
rest on any piece Of furniture which
costs less than five hundred dollars.
They're SO small that they can
use mouse trap for dog house.
You can cover them with a
postage stamp and tuck it in around
the sides.
They can sit on a calendar and
leave twenty-nine days visible.
They're known as limousine mon
grels.
They won't ride in any machine
| unless it's driven by a chauffeur.
You've got to feed them off of
Haviland china or you spoil their
dinner.
People who own Pomeranian dogs
punish them when they're naughty
by making them eat in the kitchen.
They're wonderful fighters and
can lick anything twice as small as
they are.
Pomeranians are so strong that
it only takes three of them to carry
bone out of lamb chop.
They're very artistic and bury
their bones under beautiful Turkish
rugs.
A Pomeranian dog is very ath-
letic and loves to dig in the dust on
the velvet rug in the parlor.
One woman lost her Pomeranian
purp and it was very hard for her
to lose him. Her husband was be-
ginning to think it was. impossible.
They get into everything in the
house and you have to shake your
shoes out in the morning before
you put them on.
They're very good protection
against burglars. A burglar will
never enter a house where there's
a Pomeranian- He's afraid the dog
might follow him home.
They go TO sleep in a fiat and

The army appropriation bill. carrying

completed by the subcommittee Of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee. and
probably will be reported to the Senate
tomorrow by the fun committee. AS
the measure passed the House 1t carried
$331.20S,112 and provided pay for an
army of 10000 men. The Senate com
mittee provided for 175,0OO men and
added other increases, the total of which
has not been tabulated. but which Sena-
tor Wadsworth On. W. chairman Of the
committee said would make the appro-
priation about 1886. 500, 900
Here are the larger Increases adopted

Explaining the necessity for fncreas-

the intent of the bill.
The increase for the National Guard

National Guard will have a force Of

PLANS TO CLARITY
DRY AMENDMENT
Clergyman Appeals for Ad-
Uice of Leaders.

Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.
PHrLADELPHTA, Feb. 22.-The Rev.
Dr. Russell H. Conwell. of the Baptist
Temple. has submitted to men OF recog-
n!zed leadership in various lines of
activity throughout the country a pro-
posal to amend the prohibition amend
ment to the Constitution for the definite
purpose of ending the chaotic condition
caused by the wide divergence OF in
terpretatons which now breeds disre-
spect for all law"
The clergyman holds that no law can
be enforced against the common con-
science Of the majority of the people.
Conscience. he says, is guided by un-
derstanding. The amendment in it's
present form. he declares, cannot be
understood and hence it is at fault. He
wants "a measure that will do away
with drunkenness, while interfering as
little as possible with personal liberty"
DR. Conwells proposal is embodied in
a petition which will be circulat ted
broadcast among the people of the
United States as soon as constructive
criticism from leading thinkers has been
obtained.
The petition drafted by DR.. Conwell in
which is contained his proposal to change
the Eighteenth Amendment is as fol-
lows:
Congress should be urged to submit
to the people an amendment to the pro-
hibition amendment defining accurately
what the people meant when they used
the word manufactured as applied to
natural fermentation: :: what they meant
by the term Intoxicating liquors : what
they meant by the word beverage and
what they meant by the word concur
rent
"rhe wide divergence of interpreta-
ton now breeds disrespect for all law
and may lead to the repeal Of the whole
amendment unless the people themselves
are again consulted now"

tions to which, in some instances. char
coal has been administered to give the
stuff the appearance of having been
aged In the wood.
1t was early In the afternoon when Sc
cret Service Operatives Manasse. Rubano,
Cavanaugh and Sullivan, who had been
watching the Di Santi shop for several
days. saw Michael laramie of 81 Bayard
street and Jerry Scott OF 81 Mott street
leave the place and stroll off in the d.
rection of Chinatown. The Secret Ser
vice men trailed them until they were
out of sight OF the premises, when they
closed in upon them.
Forcing the pair into a hallway, a
search revealed 200 counterfeit strip
revenue stamps and fifty-three counter
felt case stamps. They then placed both
men under arrest and while one OF the
Secret Service men looked after them
his companions returned to the shop.
where. they said, they found Di Santi
cutting counterfeit strip stamps apart.
while three electric presses were busy
turning out more. The humming OF the
presses prevented him from hearing The
Secret Service men, who had found the
door unlocked. and the first intimation
he had of their arrival was a command
to put up his hands and submit to ar
rest.
There then followed a trip to Di
Santi's home at 3s Oliver street. where
10000 of the counterfeit revenue stamps
and 10000 counterfeit labels were dis
covered, according to the raiders. Sew
eral plates also were found on the
premises
According to the Secret Service men
the counterfeit stamps bear such a
strong resemblance to originals that
only a careful scrutiny by an expert
will reveal the deception. They have
received information to the effect that
these stamps have been selling at from
$50 to S35 per thousand, and that COM
plete outfits for counterfeiting case
goods are being sold at 81 per set. This
set consists of all labels. stamps and
branded corks needed for twelve bottles
of bogus old whiskey
Twenty five barrels Of liquor and five
barrels of alcohol were seized by Detec-
tive Sergeant Dennis A Cooper with a
squad of policemen from Yonkers yes
terday when they raided the Farragut
Dancing Pavilion at Hastings -on-Hud-
son. Peter Michelin and his wife, who
conduct the place, according to the
police, were arrested.
The liquor seized, the police assert, is
the cargo stolen two weeks ago when
truck was held up by three armed men
at Warburton avenue Detective Ser
geant Cooper said he traced the booze
to Michelin's place. The liquor is owned
by Aaron Zimmerman of Yonkers. who
claims 1t was transported under Con-
secticut permit. Michelin made no state

10 SENATORS LOYAL
TO DAYLIGHT LAW
Enough Votes Apparently to

BUT THE MARGIN is CLOSE
Assembly Leaders Expect to
Get Clear Majority to
Kill Statute.

Special Despatch to THE NEW Yorx HERALD.

| Albany, Feb. sS.
Daylight saving may yet be saved.
The drive made by the legislative lead
ers to repeal the law which is 30 popu-
lar in the cities failed to-day by two
votes. Fifteen Republican Senators from
New York city and Buffalo united
against the party caucus and blocked
the repealers
! At a conference OF the thirty-nine Re-
publican Senator'S the fifteen held out
firmly 10 the last. Twenty-six votes are
needed TO Kill daylight saving and
party pressure is being used to whip the
| insurgents into line.
Lined up with the New York city Re-
publicans are Senator Duell of West
chester and Senators Martin and Swift
of Buffalo Senator Gibbs of Buffalo
also Is counted against the repeal. al
though he was not present
If the majority leaders cannot per-
suade Senator Duell and the Buffalo
members to change their positions. the
party caucus viii be used In final ef-
fort to jam through the repeater. APP

the Westchester leader, and Fred
the representatives from these districts
see a light
Some compromise suggestions were
rejected. One was to let the existing
law stand for another year and pass
an amendment giving the rural districts
the right of local option in fixing their
own time. All Of the opposition comes
from the villages and country sections.
This procedure would reverse the Belts
bill proposal which repeals the law en-
tirely, but gives municipalities the right
of local option.
City Senators refused to accept the
suggestion saying they might lose out
entirely, and they did not intend to
give up the advantage they now hold.
They insist that three-puarters of the
States population live in cities and want
daylight saving. There is much op-
position to local option rule on the
ground that II would lead to endless
confusion il the several sections had
different time.
Manufacturers throughout the State
are against the repeater as are factory
and store employees who want to keep
the extra hour of daylight
Another proposal put out to-day was
TO let New York city retain the day
light saving law as ii stands and re-
peal tIle law loT lne rest Oh tHe state.
To get sufficient number of votes In
the Assembly the leaders were forced to
resort last week to a caucus. At the
conference before the caucus they were
able to muster only II votes. 76 being
needed. Seven city members permitted
themselves to be bound by the caucus,
giving IS votes The rest of the New
York city members bolted the caucus.
The Assembly leaders say tonight
they will get S3 votes for the repeal bill.
They are taking no chances, however.
The bill is on the calendar as a special
order for tomorrow, and to-day the
leaders sent kilograms to every absent
Republican member directing him to be
present to vote on the daylight saving
repeal bill.

With the seizure yesterday of a
plant for turning OUT unlimited guam
titles of counterfeit whiskey revenue
stamps the Federal authorities believe
that they have struck a serious blow
at the operations of a gang that has
been flooding this city with nonde-
script bootleg liquor in the guise Of
old and popular brands. The plant
raided Is believed to have been run
ming for some time in q printing shop
conducted by Joseph Di Santi at Al
Oliver street, within few doors Of the
homo Of Alfred p. Smith, former Gov
ernor. who resides at 25 Oliver street.
Three men taken in the raid by
Secret Service operatives await ar

Commissioner Hitchcock. A fourth,
seized as he was entering the shop
after the raid, is being held as ma
terial witness for questioning by mem
bers Of the United States Attorneys

other popular brands of whiskey is
counterfeit. Their belief in this regard
is supported by a large accumulation OF
false labels bearing these names which
were found by the secret service men in
the homes of the prisoners after their
arrest. These labels appear to have
been turned out by the same press
which turned out the labels upon bottles
of counterfeit booze that have come
into the possession OF the Federal au-
thorities and which purport on the out
side to be well known brands but
