the state Z" asked the governor.
J. We'll" said Nolan, you. know the
governor has considerable authority.
He don't have to depend upon the ~
torney general"
Others Had Hands In MIx-up.
In connection with 4 discussion as
to the high standing and honesty Of
the men named upon the committee
and the intimation of the governor
that Colonel Nolan had participated IN
their selection, the latter replied:
II have told you time and time
again that I had nothing. TO do with
the selection of this committee. told
you that Mr.. Reifenrath and Mr..
GOA were in consultation In the mat
ter of the naming. Of the committee
during your absence. l knew that II
I participated in the selection OF a
committee that ! would forfeit the
yindication / sought from the people. .
The two INDUCED IN more Or less of
an argument regarding the publ .ity
which was being provided in his mat
ter, which led the governor to stg-
gest that there was plenty of natter
buried away in the archives of the
state OF a rather sensational charac-
ter which it may be necessary to
bring to light and that If he found It
necessary he would proceed to put it
before the people.
At 1890 D. M, after two hours Of
wrangling in which the governor and
Colonel Nolan were the sole par,
ticipants, the meeting was adjourned
with the understanding the board
would be called together upon the
return of Mr.. Rankin, with request
for specific action.

AMERICAN PLAN SET
CONTINUED from Page One)

with the reduced American and British
submarine flotillas.
Neither American nor British e1-
pert naval opinion would accept such
an apportionment. American figures
on the present submarine strength Of
the five powers are: United States,
$4,000 tons: Great Britain, $4,000 tons;
France, $4,000 tons; Japan, $4,000
tons, and Italy, $4,000 tons.
Italy Willing Either Way
In connection with the Italian de-
sire to accept only equal submarine
tonnage with France, it was stated that
Italy would prefer to have France
scale down her submarine fleet, TO-
600 tons to equal the present Italian
fleet, but if that could not be done,
Italy would demand the right to build
up to the French $4,000 ton aggregate.
The 31,500 tons for both was a COM
promise proposal.
On the basis of capital ships strength.
as already accepted, France would
have submarine tonnage of about
10000 tons as against 10000 tons each
for the United States and Great Brit
ain. The new American plan, however,
would permit France to have $4,000
tons as against 10000 each for the
United States and Great Britain.
Submarine Conference Idea Gains
The suggestion for creation by the
conference Of continuing commission
to study the whole submarine question
seemed to be gaining considerable
favor If it did not recommend total
abolishment, such commission would
be expected to make recommendations
in such way as to prevent recurrence
of the submarine horrors of the world
war.
1t may be found feasible to combine
the commission plan with the project
of a world conference, in which case
the report Of the investigating body
would become the basis of discussion
when the next international meeting is
called.

STRONG FOR ABOLITION.

London, Dec. 24.-(By The Associ-
ated MISREPRESENTATION to the
Washington conference of Great
Britain's plea for abolition of the sub
marine as a naval weapon has aroused
the greatest interest here The news
papers comment at length upon the
speech Of Lord Lee Of Eareham, first
lord Of the British admiralty, before
the conference on Thursday, in which
he made the proposal and outlined
the reasons prompting it.
General opinion here undoubtedly
favors abolition and there are many
regrets that there seems to be no
prospect Of its being brought about,
but on the other hand there is some
skepticism regarding the possibility of
preventing the use Of submersibles.
even if the conference adopted Lord
Lees proposal.
The Morning Post argues that the
developments at Washington point to
the necessity Of Great Britain main
taining an adequate force of cruisers
and small craft for the protection of
her commerce against submarines.
The Daily Mail declares that the
liberation of submarine warfare will
compel powers dependent upon their
sea communications for ,sustenance to
arm their merchantmen, with unhappy
and undesirable consequences.

in Brussels, but the war prevented the
carrying out of the plan.
