Experts Meet Today.

Naval experts of the three powers
chiefly concerned are scheduled to
meet today in further subcommittee
deliberations. Their work cannot
deal with any major factor in the
American naval plan, however, for
yesterdays revelations showed that
these constitute closed chapter.
British experts have accepted the
accuracy of the original American
fleet estimates. The japanese have
been able to procure no figures to
challenge successfully the American
showing.
There were hints that a plenary
session of the arms conference may
be called next week. When it is
called it will mean that the dele
gates are preparing to reach deci-
sion.
| It is not expected that the funda-
mental question of the 5-5-3 ratio
or any other major point will bf
| worked out at the plenary session
! 1t is expected that informal meetings
between delegates will bring about
the ultimate agreement by persona
touch" 1t then will be TRANSLATED
into conference action.
Expect Japs to Yield.
! The American group expects ia
pan to accept the 5-5-3 ratio. The
United States will not accept any
increase in the ratio offered to ia
pan. That was clear after The
American delegates again talked ov
err the naval situation yesterday il
Secretary Hughes office. Mr.
Hughes, Senator Lodge, Mr.. Roo
and Mr.. Underwood are of one
mind on this, and have the approva
of President Harding and all admin
istration officers.
The American group has no doub
that American public opinion fully
supports the $3.50 ratio. 1t was
made clear that if the question o.
national security" brought up by
Vice Admiral Kato, were considered
a ratio of even 10 to ] in capita
strength as to Japan would not AIDE
quately express American needs Of
British needs. 1t was for that rea
son that the American plan discard
ed any attempt to calculate flee
ratios in terms of national needs.
There was no way, from that stand
point, to give Japan proportion
of more than so per cent Of thu
strength of any other power.

Is Allowed to Go Ashore.

Havre, Dec. 2.--Charles Morse,
American shipbuilding financier,
whose apprehension In connection
with alleged shipping frauds was
requested by the United States gov
eminent, was allowed to land from
the liner Paris. After being detain-
ed aboard ship for several hours by
French detectives, he was permitted
to walk ashore and proceed to his
hotel. He will probably leave for
America Monday on the Paris.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Aroused by
the departure of Charles w. Morse,
New York shipbuilder, from the

sent to the French government in
time to permit Morse's detention at
Havre today, when the French
steamship Paris, on which he sailed
from New York, is due to dock.
Early in the day the Department
of Justice called ON the Navy De-
partment to send destroyer to
meet the vessel outside of Havre and
take Morse off the ship. No such
order was issued by the Navy De-
partment, however, and officials said
later that they are without author
ity to act in that manner.
A plan to cancel Morse's passport
lis under consideration. The effect
of such action probably would be
that the French government might,
under representation from the United
States, refuse to permit him to land.
His return to the United States on
the Paris probably would result.
Meanwhile, Erwin A., and Harry
NJ. Morse, sons Of the shipbuilder,
issued a statement saying their faith
er sailed on the Paris under pass
port issued to him in his own name,
and without knowledge of the gov
ernment's action before the grand
jury.
Morse sailed under advice of his
physician, .'that he would have to
undergo an operation if he desired
to save his life" the statement said.
adding that he would return when
ever his presence is desired, "and
when he is in physical condition to
do so.
Departure Unknown.
Justice Department officials said
nothing was known of Morse's de-
parture until it was reported from
New York Wednesday night. Morse
was granted a passport several
months ago and this passport pre-
was good at the time of
his sailing. No passport is neces-
sary for a citizen of this country
to leave the United States, but the
State Department issues a passport
as the most convenient proof of
American citizenship, which Is re-
quired for admission to practically
all foreign countries.

getic in the affairs of the communl-
ty-a vital force of the community
that attracted the attention and

more extensive acquaintance ano
friendship than he.
Mr.. Morgan had been in failing

months ago he suffered an attack

went to Houston, Texas, where he
became identified with the Chamber

 Heroic Seventeenth
 Dead at Eighty-Four

word has been received by William c. Lineburgh of the sudden death, Tuesday morning, of his brother-in- law, Theodore Gray. 143 Orchard street, Newark, N. J., in his elshty- fourth year. Nine days after MT. Gray's marriage to Miss Mary Line burgh daughter of the late w. G.. Lineburgh of this city, in 1861 Presi- dent Lincoln sent out his first call or men and MT. Gray then ser geant major, left for the South with the Seventeenth Infantry, Connecticut Volunteer He returned five years later a captain and aide-de-camp on the staff of General sAmes. He was the last surviving officer of a com pany distinguished by it's bravery. In 1867 Captain and Mrs. Gray came to Newark, N. J., where he re- sided over fifty years. He was as- sociated with the TomInson Spring Company, one of the largest manu- the advent of motor propelled vehi- cles the Tomlinson Company went out of business and he retired.

 It should be said in all fairness
 that the Fe1ts men who have been

 Some of them have been states wit

 Matewan gun battle.
 There are at least ten men here
 whose lives, common talk holds, is
 not worth pinch of snuff from the
 moment the verdict is in- It mat
 ters not which way the verdict goes Williamson, for seven weeks the
 town of fearful suspense" has over
 night changed into a town of trig
 ger dread" People who have gone about their business tight mouthed talk and all the talk revolveS around &s- intangible, yet omnipresent dread of trouble which everybody believes
 will follow the verdict as inevitably
 as night follows the day.
 And in the event of trouble this town has no more protection than
 some two score state police and a handful of deputy sheriffs. Every hour makes it more apparent why court and counsel tried so frantical1y a month ago to prevail upon the then Governor Cornweu and the War de-
 partment to keep the federal troops here.
 The slightest provocation by either l side in the gigantic struggle now ap- preaching it's climax is bound to bring
 on a tragedy which any one familiar with the Sub-Surface situation here | shudders to contemplate.

"Cap' Anderson Hatfield, Jr., who is the son of the late Devil Anse," :" one time Confederate Army officer and for many years thereafter one of the most famous and picturesque feudists in the mountains of West Virginia, has reformed. He has taken the peace VOW and it will never again be broken. He was the lieutenant of his father, who was the leader of the famous Hatfield clan in the world famous Hatfie1d-McCoy feud, which continued over a period of fifteen years and in which thirty-five men and one woman died. Cap" Hat field, in a letter recently written to a friend, said:-'I believe that you will join me in the appreciation of the fact that savagery and feuda1ism are grad ually sinking into oblivion, and may it be our desire to hold civilization and education up to the rising gen. eration instead of pointing backward to ignorance and barbarism."

 Mingo County Court House, Will liamson, w. Va.-NOW IT MUST BE TOLDI
 The last act of the Trigger Trial Drama is on and the stage on which it is being enacted is powder bar rel.
 Arguments to the jury were begun this morning.
 It is time that the curtain of se- crecy that has hidden the true situa- tion here from the view of the out side public was lifted. A newspa- per mans first duty is to truth. Things ar stirring in Mingo county mysteriously continuously. Miners are threatening to come into Williamson by the hundreds and march on the court house, armed to their teeth.
 The saner counsels of the United Mine Workers of America have pre- vailed thus far, but the movement for a sympathetic demonstration for the 16 miners on trial for the mur- der of ex-Detective Albert c. F'elts, is powrful.
 For one thing, it's prime movers in- sist upon enough men here to offset the presence of "Felts men,"
 Rumors are adding to the trigger tension. One persistent report has il that at least two score Baldwin -F'e1ts detectives have quietly slipped into town the last few days.
 Tom Fe1ts, head of the agency vigorously denies this. This further ayers there is not a scintilla of truth in reports that strong squads of de tectiveS or mine guards they are more often referred to, are held al nearby points ready to pour into the town at a moments notice. There are not more than dozen known F'elts men in town. There are
