night Of August 80. was dragged yes

Manhasset Bay, where it had been
lying in twenty feet of water since the
day after the burglary. 1t was
brought to the surface by Peter An

after two days of searching on the
bottom of the bay.
The safe was taken to the Office OF

they were soaked with water and COW

entered the safe through a hole in
the back of the iron box, cut by the
burglars so they could extract the

it was opened and many underwater

the time a butler in the Hastings home.

thorities where they had dumped the
safe into the water after they had
opened 1t and taken out the jewelry and

All Of the stock, and the will Of Mrs.

blotting paper 1t was found that their
condition was such that they could be
redeemed or changed for other certifi-

The safe was a small one. Olafson
told the police that he took 1t from
the house and gave It TO Picardi, who

Picardi and John Thomas were ar

possession of revolvers and masks. The
District Attorney found out that two

jewelry was identified by Mrs. Hastings

DUBLIN, Dec. 22.-The Dali Eireann
by a vote of n to A. this afternoon
supported a resolution by Michael Col
Inns, one of the Irish Republican lead
ers favoring ratification of the Lon
Don treaty, to adjourn debate on the
settlement until Tuesday, January 3.
Many competent observers here re-
gard this vote as good indication OF
the probable lineup of the Dali men,
bers for and against the treaty when
it comes to a question of accepting or
rejecting it.
canon de Valera, leader of the fac
ton which would reject the treaty, OPP
posed adjournment. His failure to
the treaty was disposed of is regarded
here as the first definite indication
that the forces which would ratify il
are in control
The vote which decided that the Dali
would adjourn until after the new
year was not on the resolution by Mr.
Collins for temporary adjournment
| but on an amendment to the Collins
motion. This amendment provided
that the debate would continue until
o'clock every morning untii n division
posed of. The Dublin Cabinet will
continue to function as usual until the
Dali Ereann resumes it's sessions.
Mr.. DE Valera put the whole force
CT his leadership behind the amend
ment. The defeat of the amendment
was regarded sas a defeat for Mr.. De
Valera
Favorable to Treaty.
The delay in acting on the treaty is
believed to be highly favorable to Ar
thur Griffith and Mr.. Collins, for II
will give all Ireland an opportunity for
sober reflection on the disaster which
would follow any backward STEP OBJ
yrously a good majority of the members
were satisfied that the final vote Tor
ratification or rejection fthe treaty
was postponed. BY mutual consent there
are to be no speeches in the country
on the subject OF the treaty during the
adjournment.
There is a certain section of Dali mem
bers who, through suffering, sacrifice
OF fervid belief. feel immune from any
argument and in this electrified atmos-
phere principle has risen above reason.
Now these Dali members will be able
to get back in touch with the people
themselves. with the result that many
observers In Dublin think the De Valera
opposition faction will lose ground.
In conversations with a dozen mem

hopes on this delay in a final division
on the treaty and believe that 1t will
result in reuniting southern Ireland.

tcns Issued by the Conference on
Limitation OF armament tonight:
The second joint meeting OF the
committee on limitation OF armament
and the subcommittee on the limita-
stion of naval arnlaNentasssssr Rlscs
this afternoon. December %. 1891, at
3 o'clock in the Pan American Build
ing.
Lord Lee said that as he under
stood it the present position was one
of agreement between the five Pow
ers in regard TO the ratio of capital
ships, but that all the Powers were
equally uncommitted on the subject
of submarines, small craft and auxil-
iaries. Hence he agreed with Admiral
dc Bon that it was justifiable to begin
by clearing up the question of princi-
pie as to the future OF submarines.
To the British Empire the question of
submarines was one of transcendent
importance.
He therefore regretted that any diff
ference of opinion should have arisen
on the subject and that submarines
should have become the only question
on which the British delegation was
out of sympathy with the American
proposals. and, perhaps. also with the
views of France and other Powers He
felt, therefore. that it was incumbent
upon him to explain and justify Brit
lsh opinion.
He wished to present as few figures
as possible, but he felt it was neces-
sary to mention the following as the
basis of his statement.

President Harding will make his
announcement tomorrow of his
Christmas gifts in the form of par
dons or combinations for many
Federal prisoners. The release of
most of the so-called political pris-
oners is regarded here as probable,
though few will get outright par
dons. No indication has been given
of the disposition of the case of
Eugene V. Debs, but it is believed
that Debs will be set free with his
sentence commuted.

He felt bound to say that IL seemed
to him very strange to put before a
conference on the limitation of naval

would be compelled to Increase the num-
bers of their anti-submarine craft. This
would give but little relief to the over
burdened taxpayer. and would provide
scant comfort to those who wished TO
abolish war and TO make II less in
human.
The view OF the British Government
and the British Empire delegation was
that what was required was not merely
restrictions on submarines, but their
total and flnal abolition. In explaining
the position he wished TO make clear
that the British delegation had no un-
worthy or selfish motives. He would

President Not "Deceived."

1t is frankly admitted ia Official
circles that President 1Iarding's
casual statement that the treaty did
not include the homeland CT Japan
was due to momentary misunder.
standing on his part regarding it.
IL is further declared on the highest
authority that mo attempt was made
to deceive the President" as il
charged by the opponents of ths
treaty.
The official view is that II does not
make any difference one way or tho
other whether or not the home land OF
Japan is embraced in the provisions
OF the treaty. because the instrument
does not guarantee the territorial in
tegrity OF the Far Eastern empire or
pledge the United States 70 furnish
military or other support in defend
ing Il against attack
The most important feature Of the
instrument in the estimation OF the
officials of the Government is the
fourth clause. which automatically
abrogates the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance. which was Objectionable 10 the
Government of tho United states. The
other articles arc officially held 20 be
os less consequence because they do
not impose other than moral obliga-
tions upon this country.
The critics of the treaty who have

country who assisted IN or assented

Growing opposition to tie four
Power treaty signed by the repre-.

Britain, France and Japan to-day
brought into full relief two diametri
cally opposing views.
Tine first and most important is
that the opposition TO the most mo.
mentous instrument yet resulting
fror1 the international conference is
based on the assertion that it does
not clearly state its scope or actual
purpose. The chief fault found witt,
it is that the document fails TO say
whether the homeland islands OF
Japan are or are not embraced within
the "irsular possessions and insulsr
dominions' provision.
The conflicting opinion which il
held by the most important officials
OF the Government is that the treaty
does specifically and clearly state the
purpose of its signatories. 1t is urged
IN support OF that position, however.

Meet Defeat
Masonic Tigers Turn the Tables

The Masonic Tigers, smarting
under the stigma of defeat,
crossed bats with the Pythian
Hounds on the local diamond
Tuesday afternoon and sent
them to the tall timber smarting
under a score of 5 to 81. Man
ager Buchanan thought he had
his pack in good fighting trim
and entered the field full of
confidence, making his bow
from the pitchers box. How
ever the Tigers had not been
sleeping all this time and Man
agar Beeder had them more than
ready for the fray with Latimer
in the box.
For several innings, the
Hounds could not open" on
a cold trail, while the Tigers
romped all over the field and
had things their own way.
Pitcher Latimer was in good
shape and delivered good ball
while Stuffy Gully on first and
center fielder Ivy backed up the
Tigers with professional skill.
The feature of the game was
the superb pitching by Manager
Buchanan. But so good was
he that Dutch Elliott was called
to the box and Buchanan stopped
them in left field even when he
had to lay down to do so.
Another game is scheduled
for next week when the Hounds
hope to make a come back.
