Never Did Public Business.

According to French, the Pacific Trust
Company is q financial waif which
never had a home and never did a
public business" The charter, he said,
was purchaser for him and his asso-
ciates by John w. Worthington, now
under indictment in connection with mall

the charter purchase was only an ordi-
nary business deal.
Alva Harshman, F'rench's private sec
retary. who yesterday led Federal agents
to the hiding place of approximately
100000 in notes and securities at
Milwaukee, Is treasurer of the trust

z. w. Davis, Cleveland and Canton fnan-
cier and automobile company director.

Harshman Federal agents found $780,
900 of the Davis notes, s1,250,000 in
notes of the trust company and four
notes OF a quarter OF a million dollars
each bearing Harshman's own signature
and indorsed by him as treasurer OF the
Development Securities Company OF
Milwaukee, another OF the alleged tin
box" French organization.
Asked IL the millions OF dollars In
notes seized from himself and his asso-
ciates-the seizures already total be-
tween twenty and thirty million dollars
are good. French replied that was a
question OF interest only to the banks or
individuals who purchased them.
French denied the existence OF twenty
companies with a reported capitalization
OF s21,000,000 which Col. Clinnin be-
lieves he organized and sold stock in.
II never sold share OF stock In my
life" French declared.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-At least part of
the more than 100000 in notes seized
in a Cleveland safety deposit vault
yesterday by Federal agents are moth
ing but scraps of paper" according
to Charles w. French, alleged head of
a s5000O,00O "swindle ring" who is a
prisoner in the county Jail here.
The notes, particularly those OF the
Dayton, Ohio, are neither signed,
sealed nor stamped, French said to-
day. They were prepared under con-
tract which provided for their issu-
ance as needed in the development of
the company, he declared, but the con-
tract was never carried out.
Scouting the idea that Col. John
Cllnnin, Assistant United States Dis

regularities against him, the fifty
nine-year-old promoter of a score or
more of "big business" enterprises

ARMS CONFERENCE
WILL Be DELAYED
UNTIL NOVEMBER z
Ceremonies on Armistice Day
Said to Be Cause of Post
poning Opening.

Washington. Oct. 25.-Postponement
of the opening meeting of the inter-
national conference On armament and
far eastern affairs until the morning
of November II was intimated here
by the high officials Tuesday.
Conflict between the program as
originally drafted for the conference
and that for the ceremonies incident
to Armistice day burial Of Americas
Unknown Soldier" was given as the
reason for the probable postponement.
1t had been assumed by officials
that Secretary Hughes would preside
and call together the initial meeting
of the conference On Armistice day.
on the morning of November II, as it
appeared Tuesday. the conference
would be addressed by President Hard
ing imm ediately upon converting.
The American delegation has not
considered the question of reduction
in the land military establishment.
The position of some officials was in
dicated as being that nothing on the
subject of land forces had been found
to make consideration Of that question
Immediately necessary as the Ameri-
can army's strength was reduced to
minimum.
Informal suggestions that the arm
aments conference would consider the
question of International exchange
and other phases of finance met with
flat denial. The fact that none Of the
nations invited to the armament con-
ference had sent financial leaders to
the Washington conference was con-
strued as indicating it also was not
their intention to bring in the question
of international finance.
