 Right as a right whale" said Cap tain Scraggs And now that you've given that old mate Of mine the course, and we've temporarily plugged up the holes in this here Mexican gunboat' and everything points to a safe and profitable voyage from now on, sup pose you delegate me as a committee of one 10 brew scuttle of grOg, after which the syndicate hclds a metun' and lays out a course for It's future conduct. There's a few questions or rank and privileges that ought to DC settled once and for all, so there can't be no comeback"
 "The point Is well taken and It Is SC ordered" said Mir. Gibney, who had once held office in Harbor 15, Master and Pilots Association of America, and knew a fragment or two of parlia- mentary law. Rustic up the grog, call McGuf'ey up out of the engine room' and we'll hold the meetin'."
 Twenty minutes later SCraggs came on deck to announce the successful connection of a kettle of whisky punch; whereupOn the three adventurers went below and sat down at the cabin table for a conference.
 'T move that GIb be appointed presi- dent of the syndicate" said Captain Scraggs.

 "The notions carried" said Mir. Gib- ney, and banged the table with his horny fist. "The meetin' will please come to order.

 Captain SCraggs continued: "I should say that a fair valuation of this schooner as she stands is ten thousand dollars. That belongs to Glib.

CHINA May SEND
MIXED DELEGATION
Agreement Expected Through
Efforts of Gen. Wu-Pei-Fu,
Military Governor.

Propaganda to promote special
interests in connection with the
coming arms conference will not be
in harmony with the ideas OF the
American government, IT became
Known in diplomatic circles yester-
day. Reports reaching Washington
indicate the possibility Of a COM
posite delegation from China being
agreed upon through Gen. WuPei-fu,
newly-appointed military governor
of the Provinces. of Honan and
Hupeh.
The State Department it is said.
takes the view that the nations.
parties to the conference, should
approach the subjects to be dis
cussed in a spirit of good Will. and
a genuine desire TO reach an accord
that will serve to eliminate, all
ground for elimination and recrlmi-
nation in the future.
Meanwhile, attempts through h
propaganda to prejudice the situa-
tion of any one of the powers is
to be deprecated. as they would
strike at the basic purpose for
which the conference has been
called, and tend to defeat the re-
suits sought by this government
especially in respect to questions
effecting the Pacific and Far East

Curb Trade Continues
ActiUe and Erratic

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-The New
York curb market was active and ir-
regular, a number OF the issues that
had become prominent because Of
vigorous buying and substantial ad-
vances being in supply and declining
from the recently established high
levels, but other issues demanded at
tention because of suddenly devel-
oped strength. Farrell Coal failed to
respond to the strength in Burns
Brothers and ranged from 16 to 15la
and Texas Gulf Sulphur. which was
active for over a week. was apparent
ly in supply and yielded from 27%
to 26a in the first half Of the day.
Glen Alden Coal ranged from 40H to
40A. Southern Coal and. Iron con-
tinued in good demand but scan,
offerings prevented any large amount
of trading. .
The announcenlent was made that

WOULD HAVE ALL
NATIONS SIGN PACT
FOR DISARMAMENT
Commission Wants Uni.
ted Action-Superstate
Idea Attacked.
(Bys United News.)

GENEVA. Sept. 27.-A resolution
asking the league of nations dis.
armament coInmitte to draw up a
general disarmament treaty which
all nations will be asked to sign,
has been adopted by the third cCm-
mission
The resolution was introduced and
furthered by Lord Robert Cecil. who
explained that the fundamental pur-
pose of drawing up sucn a treaty
would be to create a definite league
disarmament policy.
Lord Robert Cecil today d delivered
a final blow at the thought OF the
league of nations as a 'superstate"
In an address to the assembly
Tuesday, Lord Robert said.
1T is a fundamental principle uf
the TsaSue that me council of the
league cannot imbpse uron mem
ber state any action the latter does
not desire to take upon its own
sovereign authority.
ITO give the council of the league
such authority would constitute "A
step towards the creation # u
superstate which the world will not
accept"
Lord Robert was debating the
question of the creation of a biCck =
ade weapon, action on which was
delayed when the assembly referred
the entire project to the commission
on amendments. The assembly asks
an amendment to article l6. permit
ting the council authority t. rec
ommend the application of ii block
ade only rather nan to orde.. il.
Bolivia has withdrawn her request
that the league revise the Chile Bo-
liviRn treaty. with reservation
emitting her to reintroduce the
question next year. 4 rupture has
thus been avoided. for unless Bo-
hvia had taken this action, it is
certain that one or the other of the
two nations would have withdrawn
from the league.
1t Is believed that the dispute will
be settled outside the league before
1929. by direct negotiation. thus
avoiding another crisis when the
assembly meets again
