MUNICIPAL COURT

Harold McCurdy. about 50 years of
age, plead guilty in the municipal
court to the charge of wanton and
lascivious speech and behavior and
was sentenced to 80 days in Jail. He
was taken to Augusta Wednesday
afternoon by City Marshal William
Ii. Murray to begin his sentence.
The offense with which McCurdy
was charged took place about II
o'clock Sunday forenoon on the 18th
of December, the victim of his wall
ton conduct being Charles Sleeves,
q. little boy of nine years. Charles
accommodates the neighbours in his
vicinity by procuring their papers
for them Sunday forenoons and he
was asked by McCurdy. who roomed
at . College place to bring him a pa
per. The request was made through
the window, up one fight and when
the little follow took the paper to
McCurdy's room. the offensive be-
havior on the latter's part took place.
Charles stay at the room made him
late for Sunday school He did not
dare to tell his mother of the Incl
dent but confded in another small
boy. who Immediately used the tact
and judgment Of a much older head
and advised the boy to tell his moth =
er. He did not do SO, however, but
his young friend did it for him and
then the mother questioned Charles,
with the above result.
McCurdy's only excuse was that it
must have been the cheap rum in
him that made him act that way. He
said that nothing of the kind had
ever occurred before.

| Surprise was expressed by British
delegates tonight over the develop
ments in today's meeting of the ar
mament conference naval committee
and it was said time would be requir-
| ed to study the proposition to limit
the activities of submarines as we'll
as to analyZe the possible results of
the French refusal to limit the tom
mage of submarines.
| ut is sad" British spokesman
said. 1T is deplorabie that any ma
ton should have taken such posi-
ton as we have seen taken today
There can be no limitation now on
| the number OF craft that we must

be unlimited submarine construction.
| that she possessed a great fleet of
trawlers and other steel fishing craft
which could be used for anti-sub-
marine purposes, SO that she would
not have to build to the same extent
as other nations.
The spokesman declared that the
British We're in hearty sympathy with
the resolution proposed by Mr.. Root
! today regarding the use submarines.
but he said a plan to restrict sub
marine attacks to naval vessels
would have no effect upon Great
Britain. She would build anti-sub-
marine craft he said. as no nation
could be trusted to abide by such
rules when its back was against the
wall The British case would be
fully set forth at the next plenary
session, whenever that is held, he
added.
Although the conference had failed
to stop expenditures for submarine
fleets. the spokesman Continued. cit
would be quite in error to regard the
conference as failure. It was an
extraordinary thing he contendcd. to
have reached IN agreement on capt.
tal ships. This was the greatest
thing ever done to prevent the growth
of offensive ravies he added.
It was further said by the spolles-
man that the failure to fix n limit on
submarines made it difficult to fix Il
auxiliaries. particularly aircraft. IT
appeared however. he continued, that
the 10000 ton limit proposed for
auxiliary ships by America might be
acceptable though the british dole
gates required time to study the mat
ter before reaching 2 conclusion. 1t
might be possible he said. to reach
an agreement uron the line OF do
narration between carriers used for
purely offensive purposes such as
those with naval fleets and the car
riers used solely as anti -subma rDe
craft. In the latter case. the British
would build any number they regard
Cd as necessary and type that

ments OF such warfare.
