sirables.

Johnston, Pa, July 13.-Many
foreigners left Beaverdale, mining
town near here late last night fol-
lowing a mass meeting of American
citizens, who are said to have re-
iterated their intention of driving
out the undesirable element al
legged to have been responsible for
numerous crimes committed within
the last few months. State police
attended the meeting and were told,
it is reported, that the Objectionable
element must leave the community,
"If they do not" the spokesman
is reported as saying, you police
men may stay here and protect
them but we will get them sooner
Or later, perhaps tonight even
against your opposition"
The state troopers, according tc
the reports, advised those against

town and an exodus began which
is said to have proceeded quietly.
Five buildings were dynamited

driven from their homes on Mon

Never Used Title.
New York, July 13.-The use OF
the abbreviation "Col." in what

CHURCH BOARD
SAYS DRY LAWS
REDUCE CRIME
Louisville, Peoria and
Cincinnati Are
Cited.

Chicago, July 13.-Statistics Of
police officials and others in Louis
vile, KY, Peoria, ILL.,, and Cincin-
natl, Ohio, tending to show the re-
duction of crime since the advent
of prohibition, were issued here to-
day by the board of temperance,
prohibition and public morals of
the Methodist Episcopal church.
These figures show that from
June so, 1918, to June 80, 1919, the
years just preceding the inaugura-
ton of prohibition, 1924 people
we're arrested in Louisville, KY, on
a charge of drunkenness. In the
next succeeding year, under prohi-
bition, only 412 arrests were made
on this charge. In the last wet"
year 253 persons were arrested in
Louisville on robbery charges
while in the first dry" year only
72 arrests on this charge were
made.
Liquor offenses,'' the report
says, during prohibition fell of
S4.5 per cent in the first year"
The Peoria report shows:
Total arrests for drunkenness
| last wet year, 1,180; first dry year.
291.
| Total arrests in Peoria for all
causes last wet year, 1856; hrsi
dry years, 1887.
The report says:
| Cincinnati has felt the so-callet
| crime wave as much as any othel
part of the country and as re
suit there is an increase in the
number of assault to murder case;
of from IS to 26 and of house
rbreaking of from 81 to 81. But as
sault and battery cases droppei
from 772 to Csc, murder from B
to 7, and disorderly conduct from
1920 to 1,727."
The comparisons are based on the
last ''wet" year and the first dry
year.

Chicago, July 13.-Steady i'm
provement in business conditions
was predicted by Josiah Kirby of
Cleveland today in an address be-
fore the National Association of
Real Estate Boards convention.
I'VE in America, cannot expert
ence a sustained depression" he
said. "All sustained depressions
have for their background an over
production of finished and a short
age of natural wealth. Conditions
at present are exactly reversed. We
have in America a shortage of fin
ished product and an abundant
supply of natural wealth in the
form of raw materials, and the
purchasing power of our people is
without end
Even now, in the so-called dull
period, business is SO far ahead of
1914 as to make comparison

loadings are running only about Is
per cent less than a year ago;

high, are decreasing both in num-
Der and amount of liability; and in
almost every line of endeavor bust
ness is available to the man who
will trade his wish-bone for a back
bone, and go out and get it."
Labor lost in wages because of
the inactivity in the building trades,
three millions in 1921, Daniel
/ Crawford, Jr., building contractor
of Philadelphia declared in a
speech in which he analyzed the
various costs that enter into the
| building industry.
In all of the efforts which we
have put forth during the pas
months we find that the greates1
obstacle which we have met in the
| attempt to revive the industry i:
| the refusal of labor to see the
necessity for the revision of the
wage scale under the changed con
| ditions," he said.

DISARM MAMENT
MEET WON'T BE
SECRET AFFAIR
All Nations Will Haze
Voice in Discus
Sio7S.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Copyright, 1921

Especial to The ArguS.)
Washington, July 13.-The dis
armament conference of the great
powers to be held here next autumn
will not be a secret conclave.
Although the invitations were
limited to Great Britain, Japan,
Italy, France, the United States and
China, the. other nations of the
world will have an opportunity to
keep posted on what is being done
and to offer concurrently through
diplomatic channels any sugges-
tions or ideas bearing on a solution
of the problems that come up for
discussion.
The government here felt that by
asking the group known as the
principal allied and associated pow
ers more progress could be made
than by attempting to have a big
assembly which might resolve itself
into a debating society and get no
results. AS one official spokesman
OF the administration phrased it
Harding is not "a shout in the air.
but an attempt ito get results"
/ The same official VINO, of course
is conVersant with every phase OF
our foreign policy made it clear that
it was perfectly useless to talk
about disarmament if the problems
of the far east were not settled to
everybody's satisfa ction. He
pointed out that so long as people
felt insecure about developments in
the Pacific there would be no in
clination to dispense with naval
armament. In other words, when
the sources of possible friction and
war were removed once for all in
the Pacific there would be much
more rapid progress toward disar-
mament. This indeed is the answer
made by government officials to the
criticism that the disarmament con-
ference should not have included a
! discussion of far eastern problems
and that the tangles over the lat
ter would delay and obstruct the
disarmament movement itself
| But the government takes just the
| opposite view-namely, until the
! China and the European anC
American nations over the farseasi
are out of the. way, nobody viii
make a sincere move toward limit
ing armament. The fact is the
conference called by President
Harding is an endeavor to achieve
practical results in the field of di
plomacy at the same time thSt ar
/ agreement on naval expense is at
| tempted. Heretofore the main ex
cuse for armament has been some
