rRepubIIesn A. D. Leased Wlre1

PARIS, Jan. 24.-The supreme coun- cil, composed of representatives of Great Britain, Italy, France, Belgium and Japan, today heard the military experts and later conferred together regarding the failure of Germany to disarm as provided for by the treaty Of Versailles. The experts were asked to make a detailed report on the sub ject, with recommendations regarding measures to insure execution of the disarmament clauses of the treaty. The experts will meet tomorrow morning while the council will contrary to eex- pectations, take up the situation of Austria instead of separations.
 The British prime minister, David Lloyd George and the president of the French council, Aristide Briand. it is understood, desire an opportunity to talk over the different phases of the rtparations question before the sub ject comes up for discussion at the full council. Thus the change in the councils program.
 In tEis connection the premiers are said to be considering whether it is feasible and advisable to have the German representative sit with the council before the final decision on separations question before the sub- gation is believed to favor inviting the Germans to take part in the discussion after the allies come to an understand ing among themselves.

[RepubIIean A. ?. Leased wIrel

NEW YORK, Jan. A. - Eugene R. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, appeared tonight be- fore the Walsh congressional commit tee Investigating the affairs of the United States shipping board and cor roborated the testimony of Charles M. Schwab that no part of the latter's personal expenses as an officer of the emergency fleet corporation had been charged to ship construction.
 Col. E. IT. Abadie. former controller general of the board, and Perley Morse an accountant, previously had notified the committee of the discov- cry of a voucher for 3269,543.53, al- legged to cover personal expenses of Mir. Schwab during October, 1918, when he was director general of the fleet corporation. An audit of the Bethle- hem Shipbuilding corporations books they added, disclosed that $100,0O0 of this amount has been charged to ship construction. MT. Morse exlained, however, that when he made his re- port concerning the voucher he did not certify, and can not now say, whether this item was not eventually allocated or charged.
 NIT. Grace explained that the pay ment of s269,543.53 had been made to Mir. Schwab in accordance with the regular method pursued in reimburs- ing MT. Schwab for expenditures made by him and his office organization in connection with the company's busi- ness.
 In distributing this item among the various departments of the business. SlOO,OOOO of it was charged to the Bethlehem Shipbuilding corporation, which is a Bethlehem subsidiary in charge of shipbuilding. It was not charged, the witness said, to the cost of ships, as had been tesetified by Colonel Abadie. As a matter of fact, Mir. Grace added the Bethlehem com pany never claimed that this s100, 1000 was an item of cost against govern ment ships. but charged that amount to prof tand loss
 | MT. Grace submitted photostat copies of various vouchers and other papers purporting to show the history of this transaction from beginning to i end.
 l Irving N. Kulner. an accountant em- ployed by Perley Morse & Co.,, preced- d- ed MT. Grace on the stand. He was ldentirled as the man who discovered and reported the voucher in question kulner testified it was a Bethlehem steel corporation voucher drawn to C. NJ. Schwab and that the word per sonar was not on that voucher. The witness explained he did not trace the voucher and he had no knowledge oi the final disposition of the item. He admitted that a further search which was prevented by the stopping of the audit might have disclosed a credit
 He confirmed MT. Morse's testimony that he (kulner) had been informed by an employe of the Bethlehem corpora.
 ton that the S100.000 had been dis. allowed.
