The American delegation to the arms
conference met to-day and considered
policies to be pursued. Presented with
mass of naval data, the delegates dis
cussed every part Of the important ques-
ton OF limiting warship building. No
announcement of policy was made and
none will be made. on the theory that
IT would be premature to advertise the
decisions reached by this Government
In advance OF the gathering which shall
determine an international policy by
common counsel.
In spite Of this reticence the Ameri-
can delegation is understood to have a
we'll formulated plan which It will urge
before the conference as proper basis
for limitation of naval armaments.
The delegates had digested the mass
Of material presented to them at their
previous meeting. and to-day they re-
ceived much additional data which have
been collected since
Members Of the Far Eastern Bureau
OF the State Department who have been
collecting material on that problem were
presented to the delegates and their
presence developed an all round discus
sion.
Housing Plans Altered.
Actual decisions announced by the
delegation related to plans for housing
the conference. 4 was decided to change
the plan Of holding the public sessions
in the Pan American Building. Accord
Ing to the new arrangement all open
meetings will be held in Continental
Hall of the Daughters of the American
Revolution.
The reason for the change was the
limited accommodations for newspaper
writers in the Pan-American Building.
BY rearranging the interior of Con-
tinental Hall and erecting platform
over the orchestra seats a meeting
capacity of about 1.100 can be provided.
This will include accommodations for
about 800 newspaper writer's. American

$4,000 BURGLARY
RELATED BY GIRLS
Tell Grand Jury Of Looting
Sands Point Home of
f. s. Hastings.

Miss Belle Plites and Miss Margaret
McCann of Waterbury. Conn. went be-
fore the Nassau county Grand Jury in
Mineola yesterday and told the story Of
the robbery of the home OF Frank 8.
Hastings In Sands Point, L. l., on
August Is, when jewelry valued at more
than $4,000 was stolen. and told also
how they had gone from place to place
disposing of the stuff. The girls. ac-
cording to the Office Of District Attorney
Charles r. Weeks. implicated Mike
Bicardy John Thomas. Anton Prinz
and Charles Lilotta, all of whom had
been arrested previously in connection
with the crime.
The connection of the two women with
the burglary became known some time
ago when Belle Plites went to the Mas
sau county jail to see Thomas. who
was her sweetheart. Bicardy. however.
was also in love with her and she re-
sented his attentions, so when detectives
took her to the office of the District At
torney she is said to have told enough
of her story to involve all Of the four
men excepting Thomas. Soon after
ward the District Attorneys office was
able to recover large part of the
stolen jewelry. including necklace
valued at $4,000.
Prinz, who at one time was an ath-
letic instructor In the Central Y. M.
c. A. in Brooklyn. also was allowed
to go before the Grand Jury yesterday,
but Bicardy and Thomas were not per-
mitted to testify. The District Attor-
ney's office declares Bicardy was the
principal of the Hastings robbery. He
already has been indicted for grand
larceny in the first degree. as has Olaf
Olafscn, butler in the Hastings home.
According to the authorities Olafsen
carried the safe in which the Jewels
were kept from the Hastings home dur
ing the absence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hastings and opened it In company
with the other three men.
The District Attorneys Office says
that Prinz and Bicardy took the jewelry
to New York and turned 1t over to
the Plites girl in a furnished room In
Fourteenth street. Then this girl and
the McCann girl. in company with Prinz.
who was a diamond appraiser. went to
various places known Of by Prinz and
disposed OF the jewels. The District At
torney said that besides the Hastings
robbery he has obtained evidence con-

Harris had friends by the score. Per-
sons in every walk of life. doctors, Jury

signed petitions urging Gov. Morrison to
save Harris from the chair and send
him to prison for life. Gov. Morrison
turned a deaf ear to these appeals. He
denied that he was being influenced by
the Baptists of the State. or any other
organization or individuals.
To-day 1t was reported from the TX
ecutive Mansion that the Harris case
had made Gov. Morrison Ill and he had
been forced to go to bed. He was re-
ported much better tonight. The Gov
ernor is reported to have received many
letters from all over the State protest
ing against the execution Oh Oio MAN

Several of these letters are said to
have come from the mountains, from
Ridge Crest, where Harris formerly kept
a store. In one of them it was stated
that I'VE men of the mountains will not
forget the death of good old Tom Har-

Gov Morrison said he felt he had done
his duty. To-day he declared he would
not interfere with the case of w. Y.
