Washington, July 22.-Unless
checked by unexpected developments
at Toxic, the United States govern
ment, it was believed today, will act
without further loss Of time in per-
fecting its plan for conference of
the principal powers of limitation of
armament and far eastern subjects.
The extent to which Japan is willing
to participate in the discussions is
understood to be under consideration
at meeting of the advisory counsel
and there appeared to be reason to
believe that the Japanese statesmen
would reach a decision favorable to
a discussion of questions arising out
of the Orient although, perhaps
with certain reservations.
Until the position of Japan has
been more clearly defined it appear
ed improbable, however, that the for
NAL investigation would be sent to
The various governments. 1t is known
that the proposed conference was
mentioned at the cabinet meeting but
It is understood not to have been
discussed to great extent.
Insistent suggestions that Belgium
should be given seat at the con-
'erence have not served to alter the
opinion of the United States govern
nent that the discussions should be /
United to the principle allied and as
ociated powers as general accepted. Ic

between the federal government and

senate and sent to the house. The

to Take Action
UNIFORMED MEN APPEAR
Lends Significance To
Rumors of Military
Resistance
(By Associated Press)

, Springfield, ILL.,, July Ex-Governor
Small under indictment for embez-
Element and conspiracy to defraud
the state, still defied arrest by county
authorities tonight, and sat at the
head of the state government appa-
rently secure until next Tuesday, at
tleast, from interference by the She
riffs Office. .-.
The governor without receding from
his claims of immunity won a tenn
Iporary victory without exhousting any
legal ammunition. His counsel, who
argued that the governor is above
the reach of the law, made it plain
that they appeared before Judge
Smith today as friends of the court"
to offer opinions but not to present
any motions.
Their appearance as friends of the
court was accepted with thanks by
Judge Smith, who declared that he
had mo motion for a ruling in the
case and therefore would make none.
In recessing his court the Judge de-
clared that nothing will be done
before next Tuesday"
Counsel for the governor indicated
that they will remain firm on their
stand of immunity. The next move
so far as the governor is concerned,
depends on the court.
Say King Can Do No Wrong"
Counsel for Governor Small revert
ed to the old claim that "*he king
can do no wrong, in their argu-
ments today, declaring that chaos IN
the state government might result
from the establishment of a prece-
lent through the arrest of the gov
ernor.
A call for state troops to protect
Governor Small from arrest was be-
leved to be a remote possibility, al
hough his counsel declared that it
S within the power of the executive
o muster troops to shield him.
Significance was attached, in some
uarters, to the appearance of the
djutant general and several officers
uniform, and it was reported that
detachment of soldiers was being
eld in readiness to rush to the gov
'nors aid should a call be issued.
Judge Smith said, he would wait
ntil Tuesday "to see what the gov
nor will do" Governor Small and
S legal staff declared that warrants
i'll be ignored if they are served.
