EYT|NCE QUITS
JAIL ON PAROLE
Work in State Penitentiray
Earns Prisoner Nationwide
Repute in Advertising

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 30.-Louis
Victor Eytinge, whose work while
behind prison bars. in the field of
advertising and literature has gained
him nation wide repute is at lib
erty under parole tonight after serv-
ing more than fifteen years of SEN
tence of life Imprisonment for mur-
der in the state penitentiary at
Florence Ariz
Governor Thomas E. Campbell to-
day signed an order for Eytinge's
parole. The prisoner was released
and planned to leave Florence to-
night going to Los Angeles by way
of Phoenix and later to New. York
where he said he would accept a
position with New York publishing
house.
Eytinge was convicted in 1907 of a
charge of first degree murder in
connection with the death of John
Leicht, whose body was found on a
lonely spot on the desert north of
Phoenix. Eytinge denied that he
was guilty of the crime.
During his term in prison Eytinge
is said to have completely recovered
his health.
For several years he carried on
an extensive advertising business
through the mail and is considered
by many to be a genius in the field
of direct appeal advertising. During
the war he did work for the liberty
loan drivers and other war meas
ures.
In recent years he has written
articles which have been published
under his signature.
Attempts have been made in pre-
vious years to secure a pardon or
parole for Eytinge but never with
success.

SENATEPASSES
NAVAL BUDGET
Bill Goes Through Without
Further Debate on Senator
Borah' Proposal

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O-After the
calming of the senate's three-day ses-
sion of storm, through withdrawal by
Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho,
of his amendment proposing a worlds
economic conference, the senate today
passed the 1926, 100000 naval appro-
priation bill and adjourned over New
Years day.
Debate on the Borah amendment
was not resumed today and the bill
also was passed without mention of
the house provision requesting the
president to negotiate with the prin-
cipal naval powers for further arma-
ment limitation. This provision re-
naming in the bill will go to the
president and will not come before the
senate and house conferees. 1t re-
quests the president to negotiate with
Great Britain, Japan, France and
Italy with a view to agreement limit
ing vessels under ten thousand tons
and aircraft not covered by the arms
conference treaties.
Threatened efforts to extend the
house provision did not materialize
and after the furry. over the Borah
amendment, Senator King, Democrat
of Utah, did not offer his amendment
proposing land and sea armament
limitation conference.
After passage of the naval bill, the
administration shipping bill Which had
been laid aside temporarily, was
brought up again and placed in posi-
tion for resumption of debate when
the senate meets again next Wedens
day. Protracted speeches today on
extraneous subjects resulted in a
charge by Senator Smoot, Republican
of Utah, that filibustering was in
progress. The speech-making stopped
soon after Senator Smoot's state
ment, all senators uniting in expedit-
ing passage of the naval bill. Senator
Jones, Republican of Washington, in
charge of the shipping bill. gave no.
tice, however, that next Wednesday
he would call up his resolution to
create a special committee to revise
the senate rules with view to check
ing future filibusters.

Krenn's hotel.
At 10:30 their watchful waiting had
it's first jolt when the hotel guard
discovered it had lost Krenn. Five
minutes of agitated hunting and he
was found four blocks away strolling
down the avenue. Reporters and pho
tographers fell into line and the pro-
cession moved on. At his radio shop
his first business venture in America,
Krenn stopped for a conference with
Adolph Dato, his Swiss manager.
The conference over, they bundled
the shops books under their arms
and departed for the Mccormick man
sion where the entire newspaper
guard mobilized and stood at atten-

They did not have long to wait.

With regard to the proceedings in

The appeals of the American lines

the government declared that any diff

II was insisted that the prohibition

If the position of the foreign steam

United States ambassador to Japan,
will sail for America on the Presi-
dent Cleveland January 25, and after
necessary conferences with President
Harding and Secretary Hughes, will
present his resignation, he announced
today.
In announcing his intention of re-

rem said:
Il came to Japan when the rela-
tions between this country and the
United States constituted a poten-
tial danger. l am going away now
that distrust and dangerous suspi'

countries. We are justified in be

conference created a new feeling
of stability in far eastern relations
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-(By the
Associated Press)- The announce
ment of Ambassador Warren's inten'
tion to resign his post at Toxic does
not come as surprise to Washing
ton, for his desire to turn his at
tention to his affairs in this country
has been known for several months
Only yesterday it was said at the
White house that although President
Harding appreciated Mr.. Warre1's
services in cementing good relations
between the United States and Japan
if the ambassador should now submit
his resignation in the belief that he
had done all consistent with the per
sonal sacrifices entailed in retaining
the post, he would be permitted to
retire at his pleasure.
