REAL HUMAN KIND
 OF SYMBOL IS THE
 OLD PLYMOUTH ROCK
Associated Press Night wirey

PLYMOUTH, Aug. 1.-Plymouth Rock, for three centuries a landmark of American freedom, was rededi- cated by President Harding today as a symbol of real human brother hood" for all the world.
 Speaking at the tercentenary cele- bration of the Landing of the Pill grims, the president declared his fer vent hope that the principal of tol- eration and liberty for which our fathers crossed the Atlantic might soon awake new world era in which peace and understanding would be assured among the nations. He referred in particular to the na- tion's efforts toward disarmament as- serting his faith that the movement would succeed.
 With his tribute to the pilgrims, Mir Harding linked an eulogy to the achievements of the English-speaking race everywhere and declared he was convinced that the mission of the race would accomplish even greater things than it had yet accomplished. The leadership of the English speaking peoples in the present world crisis, he said, could not be denied nor doubted by anyone.
 The presidents address, delivered within few hundred feet of the spot where Plymouth rock has been en- closed in iron palings to preserve it for posterity, was part of an anniver- sary celebration in which Vice-Presi- dent Coolidge and many other high officials of state and nation partici- pated.

SAY HIGHER UPS
 GO SCOTT FREE
Associated Press Night Wire,

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The defense counsel in the baseball trial today placed the major part of its closing argument before the jury in a series of pleas brought to climax in a dramatic address by A. Morgan Frumberg of St. Louis, attorney for Carl Fork, in which he charged that the state, having let the instigators of the baseball scandal go free, was trying to make goats of underpaid ball players and penny-ante gam blers."
 Mir. Frumberg repeatedly asked the jury in reaching its verdict to con- slider why Arnold Rothstein of New York never even had been indicted when the state witnesses in the trial named him as the financier of the alleged conspiracy, and why J. J. Sullivan of Boston, Rachel Brown of New York, Hal Chase and Abe At tell, others whom he termed leaders in the case, were never brought to trial.
 Previous to MT. Frumberg's ad- dress Henry Berger had told the jury that Ban Johnson, American League president, had furthered this case in an effort to injure his enemy, Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the Chicago American League club, and presented a series of court rulings which he held to bear out that there was no violation of law, even if the players did throw the 1919 world series games.
 Bill Burns was attacked by all the attorneys, MT. Berger terming him and Billy Maharg, the states ace of clubs and ace of spades. "They are the two black aces" said MT. Berger. Burns, the club who knocked, and Maharg, the spade who dug up Burns"
 A three-hour night session was held. Tomorrow the defense will finish its pleas, the state will present its final rebuttal and the case IS ex- pected to go to the jury before to- morrow night

POWERS CHARY IF SCOPE ], {,
 WOULD GIVE TO PEACE PARLEYS
Associated Press Night wire)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. l. Determination of the date for the disarmament conference was under stood today to rest largely in the foreign offices at London, Paris and Tokio. The diplomatic representa- tives of the invited powers have conferred at length with Secretary of State Hughes concerning the advis- ability of beginning the conference November II or upon some other date and have in turn referred the question to their home offices.
 Until further instructions are re- ceived by the ambassadors it is ex- pected that no definite action will be taken.
 Representatives of foreign govern ments have made it plain, however, that they regard determination of the agenda as far more important than the fixing of the date of meet ing. They are understood to have reported in detail to their govern ments the desire of Secretary of State Hughes to leave the main body as much work as possible but there is increasing evidence that Japan is not alone in her insistence that the scope of the conference be more clearly outlined before the formal sessions are begun. Although con sideration of that phase of the plan for the conference is not expected to give rise to further delay in issuing the formal invitations, it is believed that the ambassadors expect to re- ceive from their home offices instruc- tions as to the part they shall as sume in adding to or taking from the list of subjects that may be dis cussed.

NOT PUSHING FUR JACK
 JONES' JOB AS 4 SUPERVISOR

"News to me. I'm too busy build ing a dam to pay much attention Don't know as I'd get it anyway"
 Art Davis was busy arranging to take food when the Journa1-Miner queried him about the movement to put up to the board of supervisrs a petition for his appointment in place of Jack Jones, who has been i'll in a California hospital since March.
 The selection ol a new member of the board of supervisors, provided it is decided to cast Jones off, is by election. The vote is in the hands of:
 1. The two active members of the board, and
 2. The county recorder.
 Chairman w. w. Midgley is re- publican. Member C. C. Stukey is a democrat. E. A. McSwiggin, county recorder, is a democrat
 Early 1t was apparent there would ultimately be an attempt to change the complexion of the board of su- pervisors. which was put in office by a solid and uncompromising vote last November, as follows
 Two republicans.
 One democrat.
 Since it first became a subject for democratic scheming. the so-called vacant office in the board has been a bone of contention More than one democrat unable to be elected by the people to office, and in some in- stances to anything, cast hankering eyes on the position. Art Davis was never a candidate for the appoint ment in the true sense of the word. Invariably he would reply to ques- tions about his connection with the matter that he was too darned busy

keepers of the Verde valley and the smelters whose smoke is alleged to have damaged crops and range.
 These officials include the sheriff of the county, the county recorder and the clerk of the court.
 County attorneys office plans were to call jury to try criminal cases prior to the hearing of the smoke cases. This action was taken for two reasons, one that the law has been interpreted to mean that a speedy" trial under the law, means trial within 60 days after impris- onment on a charge; and two, that there was a loaded docket of crim- inal cases, or enough business of that sort to make it advisable to begin a term.
 Litigants concerned in the smoke cases have been preparing for some weeks to go to bat on August Is. After more than two years of argu- ment and decision of law questions, the issue is finally drawn. Import ant witnesses are on the ground or under arrangements to report on the 18th. Hence it is deemed advisable to proceed with all dispatch to the study of the smoke damage question, and Judge Sweeney indicated yes- terday that this would be done.
