REND FILES SUIT
AGAINST PARENTS
Charges Father and Mother
With Defrauding Him of
$350,00O In Stocks

Chicago. December 1s-James n.
Rend. Jr., 22-year- old grandson of
the late William P. Rend, wealthy
Chicago coal dealer, has filed suit
against his parents. Mr.. and Mrs
James f. Rend, for the recovery of
ss50,0OO worth of stock in the w. p.
Rend company, it was announced to-
day. Young Rend charges he was de-
frauded out of the ss50,0o0 by his
parents.
William p. Rend died In 1915 and
his will, according TO the bill flied
here, created "spendthrift fund" for
his son. This fund consisted of the
stocks In question and it was pro-
vided that James Il. Rend could not
obtain them or dividends accruing
from them until he was so years old.
If he attempted osell or even nego-
tate the sale of the stocks, it was
provided that they should at once be-
come the property Of the grandson,
James r. Rend, Jr.
Young Rend charges that a year
ago his parents schemed to violate
the will, place him In possession of
the bonds, then have him sign over
the bonds to his father so that the
father might have the stocks before
he is so years old. THE father is now
about As. This was accomplished,
young Rend says in his bill. Mrs.
Rend, one of the defendants and
mother of young Rend, has suit for
divorce against her husband pending
in the courts. She expressed fullest
confidence in her son, despite the
fact that he is bringing suit against

ters' shanties were carried out into
Niagara river. Their occupants were
rescued by police, firemen and the
coast guard crew.
Three ferryboats. used In the serv-
ice between Buffalo and Fort Erie,
were piled up on the rocks between
the river and the canal.
At Tonawanda the water rose eight
feet above normal, floating the large
lumber yards there, and carrying
thousands of feet of timber into the
river and over Niagara Falls.
A dredge anchored began to drift
toward the falls, but managed to find
anchor by digging its steel dlpper
into the mud on the river bed.
Niagara Cataract
Seldom has such a volume of water
poured over the brink of Niagara
cataract as today. The waters of
Lake Erie crowded into the Niaga
river, causing swirling flood where
usually there are only few scant
inches. Such floods poured over the
precipice that the pier of the Maid
of the Mist was submerged.
Many islands just above the falls
were submerged for the first time in
years. Great property damage was
done on the upper river between La
Sale and Niagara Falls, In river
side lighthouses and motorboats. One
estimate of the property loss there
is 100000. No losD of life was re-
ported. All the large lake boats here
weathered the storm. Some dragged
their anchors, but none was beachcd.

PARIS PAPERSARE
|NFAVOR OF NAVAL
BUILDING PROGRAM
Say France and Italy Must
Be Able to Control the
Mediterranean
Sea

Paris, December 1s.--Today's. news
papers were virtually unanimous in
supporting Frances naval buildina
program as suggested at the Wash
ington conference, including che re-
quest for 10 capital ships. Z
LIE Journal said. "The danger was
in allowing the United. States, Great
Britain and Japan to reach an agree
ment on the sizes OF their respective
navies without the allotment to
France and italy being fixed. Frances
program calls for only half OF the
naval strength apportioned TO Great
Britain. but even this. when united
with Italy, would insure the naval
supremacy of the Latin pew ers3 in the
Mediterranean, d claim that Great
Britain canot countenance9,
LIE Petit Journal declared; Anyone
who is rightly disposed will recog
nize that France, as sea power in
protecting immense widely separated
colonial domains, must have a strong
fleet to insure contact with her most
remote possessions"
L'Humanite took q different point
of view, asserting: Premier BRAND,
in his speech at the Washington con-
ference on limitation of armament,
said that the situation on land was
wholly different from that on sea. He
advocated a complete cessation of
naval construction because the navies
of Frances former enemies had been
destroyed and only friendly powers
now possessed Them"
This paper continued: IF we have
no more enemies on the seas, why
should we spend 600,000,000 or 7oo,-
100000 francs in building battle
ships?" ~
The Temps, without specifying the
limits as to size, maintains France
need for strong navy, first, to in
sure communications with north At
rica, from which place in a. day of
danger she would be able to draw ex-
ira defenders and resources; and sec
ond, because interests are world
wide, as proved by her natural par
ticipation In the Pacific agreement.
When the League of Nations, CON
tinues the newspapers, is endowed
with force of international police,
1t will be chiefly a maritime force, to
which France must be able to send a
suitable quota. .e
France only asks Washington for
a navy necessary to defend her rights,
declares the Temps, which goes on
to say that Italy's situation in the
Mediterranean is comparable to
Frances and their Mediterranean
fleets should be based on the relation
ut present existing
But. 1t adds, the difficulty does
not lie there--it is In the more or less
open. resistance of Great Britain to
submarines, particularly to the con-
stitution of the French submarine
fleet. It then argues that France can
agree to a high sea fleet ranking be-
low that of Japan, but she must nave
the support of the Americans and the
Italians In her demand for the great
est latitude in the employment of
submarines. The war established the
failure of submarines unless sup
ported by powerful fleet, and even
IL the Germans used them barbar-
ously, they still remain one OF the
best guarantees of independence in
the hands Of humane nation.
