INDICTMENTS IN
CASE Of SMALL
To Be ATTACKED
tBy The Associated Press,

Springfield, Ills, Nov. 25 (by the
Associated Press,) - Governor
Small's line of attack against in
dictments charging him with en-
bez2ement of pubic funds and con-
spiracy to defraud the state, was
laid before States Attorney c. f.
Mortimer, of Sangamon county to-
night.
The specifications, delivered to
Mr. Mortimer by counsel for the
governor, point out the nature of
arguments to be made at Wauke-
gan, December 5, in support of mo-
tions to quash the indictments.
The attack on the indictments
by the defense charged:
First: That the indictments. on
their face, charge the governor
with no crime or offense against
the state.
Second: That they do not allege
that the governor ever received
any money belonging TO the state.
Third; That the grand jury, in
returning the indictments failed an
explanation and review of evidence
which the defense claims "was abb
solutely in violation of the consti.
tuition and statutes, intended on;Y
to create an unfair and an unwar-
ranted prejudice against the COVER
nor and renders the indictment H.
legal and void"

LAND ARMAMENT
DISCUSSION MAY
DEVELOP LATER
Conference Is Taking No
Action at This Time To-
ward Limitation of Arm
les, Authorities Declare.

washington. Nov. rs (by the AS
ISOLATED Press) Although the
arms conference is taking no steps
toward limitation OF armies, 1t was
said authoritatively tonight that
the question of land armament was
"in reserve" and might come up for
general expression of policy when
the naval and Far Eastern prob
lens are out of the way.
Any attempt to secure a hard and
fast agreement on land estimates,
it was pointed out, would involve
many handicaps which do not ap-
ply to the limitation of naval
power. France. with the largest
army in the world. already has
declared her unwillingness ia
weaken materially her position un-
der present circumstances Poland
which has nearly as many men
under arms as France, is not rep
resented in the conference. and
neither is Russia with her vast pos
sibilities of man power, nor the
smaller states of central and south
ern Europe, whose national policies
are linked up with the maintenance
of large armies.
To open up the question to de-
tail discussion 1t would. therefore,
be considered necessary, by the
American delegates at least, to en-
large greatly the scope of the con-
ference. 1t is realized. too, that the
discussions might lead the confer
ence fHr afield into the realm OF
intricate international relationships
now agitating Europe in the after
math of the world war.
In that connection Lord CurZon's
warning to France. pronounced in
a public address yesterday. was
read eagerly but without comment
by the arms delegates. Through
the negotiations here, there ha:
been an effort to keep present con
siderations Of European policy a:
much in the background as posi-
BILE and the view understood to bt
taken generally is that precise arm
ament In regard to land armamen
Is not essential to the success Of
the conference.
At any rate, the clearly defined
purpose of the conference at th'
present stage is to leave possible
controversies over land armamen
in the pigeonhole and go aheaC
with the subjects which shoN

air for all the big subjects before

fered only as personal sugges-

details Of its accomplishment.
Whether a more formal approach
to the subject will be taken before
the end of the Washington con-
ference remains to be developed.
Within the Conference.
Within the conference itself,
definite progress was made in both
the far eastern and naval negotia-
tions, and it became apparent that
although the question of land ar
mament had been laid aside for
the present. without an attempt to
agree on Limitation of armies, some
of the delegates hoped later to
translate the sentiment of the con-
ference into joint declaration of
general policy.
The naval discussion centered
for the moment about Japan's re-
capitulation of her present naval
strength In connection with her
hope of modification of the
"5-5-3" ratio of the American
plan. Experts of the British.
French and italian delegations
withheld their decisions but the
American advisers made known
their conviction. reached after ex-
animation of the japanese data,
that no change in the ratio was
warranted.
Resuming the Far Eastern ne
gotiations, the delegations of the
nine nations approved ''il

ioration of the extra territory
rights now enjoyed by the powers.
A plan of modification with a view
to final abolition Is expected to be
worked out by an International
commission of jurists.

CLAIMS OF JAPAN

Five" for Consideration,
tBy The Associated rress.)

Washington, Nov. 25.-Despite
supplemental estimates to support
Japanese claims for a higher naval
tonnage ratio than proposed in
Secretary Hughes naval limitation
plan. American naval experts, it
was asserted today on authority,
find no reason to revise their origi-
nal estimate of the relative strength
of the three powers. That estimate,
so far as Japan is concerned. Is re-
Elected in the "5-5-3 ratio pro-
posed by the United States, while
Japan is understood to claim that
the ratio should approximate 10
1917.
Details Of the japanese naval ar
gument have been turned over to
the naval experts of the five powers
considering such questions for the
information of the delegations. The
naval men will not get together
again in general conference. how
ever until next week.
Accuracy Challenged.
The Toxic data follows closely
the line of argument already pre-
sented by the japanese officers
here, in challenging the accuracy
of the American estimate Of exist
ling Japanese naval strength. In
stating his proposal Secretary
/ Hughes named as one of the gem
eral principles under which 1t was
worked out, the necessity Of general
adherence to relative strength of
existing naval forces in providing
for the immediate reduction pro-
posed. 1t IS on this point that the
experts are comparing data and
seeking TO reach agreement. Most
of their work IL done through eX-
change of documentary tabulatlons
and eXpositions Of the situation.
The immediate desire of the jap
aneSe delegation Is understood to
be to provide for retention by ia
pan of the new battleship Mutsu
and one other capital ship yet TO
be completed. American naval
opinion has been strongly against
any agreement which would permit
this without retention by the Unit
ed States of a proportion equivalent
in new ships slated to be scrapp9d
under the Hughes plan. No deIa
mite indication of the British att-
tude has been given, but it has been
pointed out that If both the other
powers were permitted to enlarge
their retained fleets, the British
must Of necessity build new craft
to maintain their present prepon-
derance. The British delegation is
understood not to favor such
course,
Arguments Of Japs.
The arguments Of the japanese
experts is to Japan's right to more
capital ship tonnage in proportion
to the other powers than Secretary
Hughes plan provided for were
based. it is known, on a series OF
recapitulations of existing. building
and projected japanese tonnage.
Viewed from any of these angles,
the Japanese experts argued, the
Japanese navy came closer to
standing at 70 per cent OF the
American strength than the 60 per
cent provided for by the Hughes
plan.

first step toward worldwide re-
cognition for the conference plan
the results of the negotiations here
might be submitted for approval,
not only to the participating ma
tions but to those not represented
here, including Germany and Rus
sia.
Meeting of Nations.
So far as the suggestions of Mr..
Harding have been made known
they contemplated a meeting of
nations about the council table
once a year to thresh out trouble
some questions and devise means
for the preservation Of peace. 1t
is said to be the hope of the pres
ident that in the end all the small
er governments will join with the
great powers in whatever discus
sions may concern them or the
world situation generally.
There is no indication that any
covenant or any constitution would
be proposed as the basis of the
plan, or that any elaborate interna-
tional machinery would be sug-
gested to convey it into effect.
The meeting might be convened to
consider special subjects or merely
to survey international relation.
ships and look for danger points in
a general effort at good under
standing.
International Court.
Whether an international court
of justice might be one of the re-
suits, is o subject which the presi-
dent is said to consider too nebu-
lous for present discussion, al
though he is known to regard some
such tribunal as q logical part OF
the plan he has advocated for an
Association Of nations"
lis opinions on the subject have
been expressed in several public
addresses during the past year, but
he never has mace detailed pub
lie statement of the exact method
by which a court could be estao-
lished.
In fact, in his preliminary con-
siderations of the best means to-
ward international cooperation,
Mr. Harding is said by his friends
to have tried to keep his proposals
as free from detail as possible with
the deliberate purpose of reducing
to q minimum the probable causes
of complication. His intention is
declared to have been to apply to
the world situation in the broadest
sense the principle Of "a meeting
of minds" as he employed 1t in his
pre-inauguration days at Marion.
"Gentlemens' Agreement"
SO far is he willing to go to-
ward dispensing with details, It is
declared, that he is ready to let the
results of the present conference
and the plans for future meetings
rest merely on "gentlemens'
agreement" rather than a formal
treaty.
Some members of the American
delega ton in the conference are
said to favor the treaty method,
and the point is yet to be decided;
but it was asserted in authoritative
quarters tonight that so far as Mr..
Harding was concerned he would
as soon have a nations word as its
bond
This position the president Is said
to base upon faith that the Wash
ington conference will help to put
a new face upon international re-
lationships and arouse new sense

Of national honor. Agreements such
as the conference is expected to
reach are regarded by the chief
executive as touching closely ma
tional considerations Of uprlghtness
and good will.
Hope of the President.
The hope of the president for a
continuation of conferences like the
present one became known at q
moment when the arms delegates
reached stage of their delibera-
tions strongly suggesting in itself
that further negotiations will be
necessary to consummate the task
begun here. representatives of
The nine participating nations are
said to have virtually decided at
their session today to send an in
ternational commission of jurists to
investigate China's judicial system
and report next year to the various
foreign offices, and discussions of
other features of the Far Eastern
situation continued with growing
indication that some sort of inter-
national machinery would be nee
essary to carry out the results OF
the conference decisions.
Worldwide Consideration.
1t is also becoming apparent
that the conference will not be
able to make final decisions on
some subjects relating to arma-
ments, since subjects like the rules
