FIRE near NEWCASTLE
CAUSES $4,000 LOSS
Especial to the Palladium)

NEWCASTLE, Ind, Dec 29.-Fire
of unknown origin destroyed the Van
Metre sawmill and washing machine
factory at Westwood. two miles west
of Newcastle, early Thursday morn
ing. causing a loss of approximately
100000. The factory. owned by Har-
mon Van Metre constituted the prin-
cipal industry of the little town and
employed about % persons. Insur-
ance on the property amounted TO s10,-
900.
The fire started i'll the varnish room
and famed by a strong west wind,
spread quickly to the adjoining parts
of the factory. In addition to the
buildings, several stacks of lumber
burned. The drying kiln. filled with
lumber, also was completely destroy
ed
The Newcastle fire department was
called but was unable to render ef-
fective aid because the water mains
do not extend to Westwood. The New
castle firemen manned the roofs OF
nearby houses which were threatened
by the flames and succeeded in saving
all of them.

GIVES ITALIAN BANK
EXCUSE FOR CLOSING
(Rv Associated Press)

ROME, Dec. 29.-The Banco Italiana
closed its doors this morning following
the announcement by the government
of a modified moratorium permitting
the suspension of payments of the OBJ
legations of certain corporations
through court DEGREES. The bank,
profiting by the announcement, sus-
pended payments ending court pro
ceedings.
The modified moratorium was estab-
lished by again bringing into force
clauses of the commercial code, which
recently have not been enforced, re-
lating to postponements of payment by
limited and cooperative companies.
Certain notifications and additions
are made, however with view to Civ
ing the creditors greater security, and
any postponements will have to be
granted by tribunals in definite case,
particularly when evidence can be pro
duced showing that such stay OF
payment is in the interest of the bulk
of the creditors.
The revised regulations are confined
TO limited range of companies.

SUB WARFARE
ISSUE RAISED
BY AMERICA
Direct Question of Whether
Future Submersible Conflict
Conducted Under Civilized
Rules Up.
ADVOCATE ROOT RULES
CBy Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Dec CA direct
issue as to whether future submarine
warfare shall be conducted under civ,
ilized rules was raised today by the
American delegates before the arms
conference naval committee.
The American delegates urged adop-
ton of the Root resolution and won
the support of Great Britain, but the
French, Japanese and Italian delegates
urged reference Of the matter for
commission of experts.
The Root resolutions. which would
regulate use OF submarines against
merchant craft were the subject of
spirited debate at the morning session.
Action on them was postponed until
further discussion could be had at an
afternoon session.
Proposal placing limit of 10000
| tons on any auxiliary vessel to be con.
structed by the powers and limit of
| q, 900 tons on airplane carriers also
were TO be considered today by the
committee, it was understood.
! Britain Alone Agrees
! Great Britain alone agreed to the
| first proposal when it was presented
! yesterday after the effort 10 limit
! naval strength in submarines and aux.
! iliary ships had been abandoned in the
| face of the French announcement FIX
! ing the limit of 10000 tons in sub
mersibles and 10000 in auxiliary
craft for that country.
The French, Italians and Japanese
all announced that they would have
/ to await instructions before deciding
| on the proposed 10000 ton limit for all
| craft below the capital ship class.
! The French hoped to be in a posi-
ton to announce their decision today.
The American proposal regarding air
plane carriers also provided a tonnage
limitation for the several powers in
that type of ship. II was discussed
only briefly yesterday without commit
ment by any of the delegations.
French Proposal
Another development of yesterday S
momentoouS committee session--the
French proposal that their country be
permitted to begin replacement of can
ital tonnage in 1927, four years before
the termination of the proposed 10
year holiday--was being considered
today by naval experts of the other
powers.
In most quarters this proposal,
which was offered as a reservation
to Frances definite acceptance of the
175,000-ton capital ship ratio, was not
regarded as likely to endanger in any
, way the capital ship agreement, but
it was characterized by Mr.. Balfour
in the committee session as serious
interference" with the holiday plan.
The plain-spoken exchange between
/, Arthur J. Balfour and NJ. Sarrau;,
, heading the French delegation, over
. the possibilities of future war be.
, tween France and the British empire
, following presentation of the French
program in submarines and auxiliary
ships yesterday, was the subject OF
, animated discussion in conference cir
cles today.
The statement of the British dele
, cation head that he would reserve full
expression on the submarine issue un
til it comes up before a public con
! ference" made it appear certain thai
: more would be heard of it before ad
journment of the conference.

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Purchase
at an estimated cost of $111 900 Of
seven tracts of land in Europe for
permanent American cemeteries, was
recommended today by Secretary
Weeks, who in a letter to Speaker
Gillett asked also that congress make
an additional $745,000 available for i'm
provement of the cemeteries so they
will compare favorably with those es-
tablished by the allies for their war
dead.
Secretary Weeks estimated that the
bodies of $4,000 Americans also who
died overseas would not be returned
to the United States. He said ar
rangements were being made to con-
centrate the bodies in six cemeteries
in France, one in Belgium, and one in

RETURN OF Chinese
GENERAL OPPOSED BY
AMERICAN LEGATION
(Rv Associated Pressl

PEKING. Dec. 29.-The American
legation has protested formally to the
Peking government against the return
to the capital of General Chang Ching
Yao, former military governor of the
province of Human, whose troops kill
ed the Rev. w. A. Reimert, an Amer
lean missionary at Yo-Show in June,
1920.
The legation reminded the Chinese
foreign office that formal protests
from Washington and demands for
punishment of Chang had brought no
results and insisted that. now that he
was in Peking, the Chinese govern
ment was responsible for his deten-
ton, pending trial or other disposition
Of his case.
The government is embarrassed by
the new American demand as Chang
Ching-Yao is now one OF the followers
of General Chang TsaoLin, military
governor of Manchuria, who formed
the new coalition cabinet and who is
protecting him, thereby making his ar
rest by the civil authorities virtually
impossible.
The Rev. Mr.. Reimert, was killed
during an attack on the Reformed
church mission at Yo-ShoW on June 16,
1920, while Chang ChingYao's troops
were abandoning the place before the
pressure of the southern forces. Strong
representations were made by the
United States to the Peking govern
ment which expressed regret for the
incident and in September OF that
year the American legation was in.
formed that Chang had personally
paid $45,000 to the mission as indemn.
ity for the missionary's death
Chang was deposed as governor OF
Human in consequences of his failure
in the campaign against the southern
forces.

BRITISH NEWSPAPERS
DISAPPOINTED over
FRENCH SUB STAND
1Rv Assnciated PrassN

LONDON, Dec. 29.-News of Frances
action before the Washington arma-
ment conference in refusing TO accept
an allotment of submarines of less than
10000 tons was printed in the London
newspapers today under captions indi-
eating disappointment. Editorial COM
ment, however, was scanty.
The Times, while avoiding any re-
elimination against France, deplores
her decision, which it thinks may
have a regrettable effect upon the at
titude of the American people toward
many important problems" and claims
that Great Britain will be obliged,
however, reluctantly to build both sub
marines and light cruisers to an
amount commensurate with the French
figures.
The newspaper sees in the tone of
the speeches in the French senate yes
terday an indication that if the French
government had abated its full claim
advanced at Washington it would have
been liable to an immediate overthrow.
The Times also refutes the idea re-
ported to have been suggested in
Washington that France hopes to use
the submarine question at the Cannes
conference as the basis for bargaining.
Attitude Condemned.
Frances attitude is strongly con-
demned by the Liberal newspapers
which regard her as having adopted
imperialistic aims such as she attribut-
ed to Germany. The Westminster
Gazette says that If France deliberately
chooses to pursue her own course re-
gardless of her neighbors she cannot
complain if she finds herself isolated
both morally and materially.
President Harding is not likely to
accept this rebuff and admit himself
beaten by one European dissentient"
adds the Gazette and referring to the
report that Mr. Harding may seek an
other conference. In this he will have
! the cordial of Great Britain and we
believe ultimately of the great major
Iity of European governments"
See Plain, Ugly Fact.
Says the Daily Chronicle: at Is
useless to try to find pretty names for
! the plain, ugly fact that by the French
action the great part of the worlds
hope for limiting naval expenditures
and the dangers of competitive rivalry
is defeated. X The Ques
tion cannot be left where It stands
for it cuts at the root of Anglo-French

ATTORNEY GENERALS
OF STATES TO AID
DAUGHERTY'S drive

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Aid OF the
attorneys generals of the various states
will be relied upon by the Justice de-
partment in an effort to readiust retail
prices of the necessities of life, Attor-
ney-General Daugherty said today.
When the departments investigation
of retail prices has been completed.
Mr. Daugherty said, it was expected
that the local authorities in the differ
ent states would take the necessary
steps to remedy local situations, while
the department would act in cases
where there were violations OF the
federal law.
Mr.. Daugherty said that he expected
to publish a table Of the cost of neces-
sities-food. fuel. shoes and clothing
to the consumer in different localities
as compared with the production cost
of these commodities in order to bring
to the attention of the public any wide
margin between these costs found to
exist.
Publication of retail prices as found
by the department was expected by
Mr. Daugherty to have a salutory eff
feet upon profiteering prices. Already
he said announcements of the depart
ment's investigation has had some eff
feet.
Protests Received
Protests have been received from
some retail trade associations against
| the investigation, Mr.. Daugherty said
but the departments attitude was that
| if there was no violation of the law
no association had cause for uneasi-
| ness.
Numerous cases of violations of
state laws have been reported, he said.
but federal prosecution would depend
upon violation of antitrust laws. The

nous or unreasonable profits.
Increase in the price of bread In the
district of Columbia by one cent loaf

it had been in years. was cited by the
attorney general as an instance of
