Speaker Predicts 1s-year-oId Age LIN.
II With High School Education.
New York.-A conviction that in a
few years every state would require
its boys to be IS years Of age and high
school graduates before permitting
them to work was expressed by DR..
A. E. Winship OF Boston. editor of the
Journal of Education, in addressing
the conference to discuss illiteracy in
session here.
An age OF IL years and a sixth
reader education was all required by
law IN several states six years ago,
DIR. Winship added, but most of them
now demand that boys and girls finish
grammar school and attain the age OF
IA before entering the work-a-day
world. A few states had advanced the
age to is and the education minimum
into high school. he said.

Washington.-The problem of naval
Limitation, left in the background while
the far eastern negotiations are de-
veloping step by step the policies to-
ward China. has been advanced to .
point where 1t may soon resume a
place of predominating interest In the
arms conference.
1t has been indicated that both the
American and British experts had yir-
tually completed their work on details
of the American reduction plan, and
would be ready to report to the con-
ference early next week. The Japan
ese experts had no similar announce
ment to make, but it was assumed
they would not permit themselves to
be put in the position of delaying se-
riously the progress of the negotia-
tions.
The crucial point in the discussions,
as viewed by the American delegation
at least, is the "5-5-3" ratio of capital
ship strength which forms the basis of
the American plan, and it is upon this
feature that the considerations of the
conference are expected to center
when 1t turns again to the naval ques-
ton. 1t was said authoritatively that
la the opinion Of the spokesmen of the
American governnent all questions re-
lating to auxiliary craft are of collat-

the procedure of the conference, and
the American delegation in particular
has shown desire to get back into
naval discussions as soon as the work
Of the experts will permit. The Ameri-
can delegates are declared to be well

CIVIL SUIT LAUNCHED AGAINST
ILLINOIS EXECUTIVE BY AT
v ToRNEY GENERAL.
STERLING FACES CHARGES
Shortage In Illinois Treasury Ap-
preaching $2,5oo,ooo Alleged
Small Must Fight In Two
Courts on Charges.

Springfield, Ill.-Gov. Len Small,
with his record as state treasurer un-
der fire, faced legal battles in two
courts as the first year OF his admin
istration approaches its end.
Charged with embezzlement OF pub
lie funds and conspiracy to defraud
the state, Gov. Small is confronted
with criminal trial in Lake county.
In suits for accounting begun by At
torney General Edward j. Brundage
against five former state treasurers
and their bondsmen, the governor is
charged with manipulating state loans
until he diverted to private channels
million dollars or more besongign
to the people.
Lieut. Gov. Fred Sterling faces
charges almost identical to those
against the governor
December, the month when Gov.
Smalrs fight for freedom from crimi-
nal charges begins, will bring the SER
vice of summons in the civil suits on
him, Lieut.. Gov. Sterling, State Audi
tor Russell, William Ryan, Jr., and
Edward e. Mitchell--all former treas
urers.
The civil suits alleging shortages
approximating $2,50O000 in treasury
accounts, are scheduled to begin next
January.
Demurrers against the civil suits
and motions to quash the criminal
charges will be the governors first
line of defense. Losing IN both 4
would mean trial at Waukegan and a
long court battle in Springfield, where
eventually the Illinois supreme court
will probably write finis to the states
most sensational court war of politi-
cal origin.
The Sangamon county grand jury
probe which ended in the indictment
OF Small, Sterling and Curtis was the
beginning of searching investigation
into treasury affairs lasting for weeks
and months, according to the Brun-
dage office. Going back to enactment
Of the law Of 1908, which required the
state treasurer to deposit money re-
ceived by him in Illinois banks that
would pay the highest rate of interest.
