Moscow. according TO Count ZamoiSki,
the Polish minister to France, was
the refusal Of the bolsheviki to sign

years Information received over the
diplomatic wires from Warsaw
legation to give the writer an official
account of this and other reasons why

Poland is and always has been
favorable to the principle Of disarma-

Pacific four-power treaty. which
would ensure Poland against war
with Russia on political preteAts.
The period of five years with pro-
vision for a renewal. was suggested
as the limit for the duration Of the
pact.
Poland probably had in view the

ranged under the treaty of Riga In

powers. This border l,ne is not guar
an:eed by the league of nations. as is

PARIS. December 1G.-That in
ternationaI conferences cost money
is proved by curious supplement
tary credit demand just presented
by the French government to the
finance committee OF the chamber
OF deputies to cover the expenses
OF the French delegates to Lau-
same. The minimum sum neces-
sary to meet these expenses Is
declared to be $4,000 francs.
Multiplied by twenty to cover
the cost OF the other delegations
and the outlay for conference
hall and other expenses, the
French estimate quickly mounts
up into the millions. Even at
that, however. the cost OF con-
ferences is less than that OF war

STILL SHE WINS FAME
By PHILIP J. SINNOTT

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. l1.-Hazel
Hall has been unable to walk since
childhood. AS her diversion, she took
up needlework.
In time, it brought her happiness.
And now, it is bringing her national
fame as a successful poet.
While other children of her age play
ed on the streets near her home, the
pale faced girl, watching them through
a window but unable to join them, did
not grieve. Instead, she threw herself
more fervidly into the creative art Of
needlework.
As her mimble fir ~rs flew, the girl IS
mind filled with BET al thoughts. She
began in child-hke manner to put
these thoughts into poetry.
Growing into young womanhood,
Hazel Hall became more absorbed III
her stitching and her versifying. Soon
her ncedlework began to bring financial
returns. SO did her poems, FOR maga-
zines began to seek her verse, and she
won several national prizes, including
the Leonora Speycr prize for a group
of poems.
Her needlework and thoughts result
ed in her latest triumph, publication of
" Curtains book of verse which has
already received encouraging comment.
Between her and life are the heavy
draperies of a physical monotony which
shuts her off from the world, deelar-
ed William Stanley Braithwaite, Bos-
ton literary critic, who suggested the
title 70, the girl S book.
Miss Hall is hopclessly crippled, but
81 write poetry only when feeling
both mentally and physically fit she
says. Writing poems condenses my
interests, and is always spontaneous
with me. 1t is my way of expressing
certain ideas and impressions.
"These ideas come as inspirations;
sometimes Il line or phrase, or as a sud
den appreciation of a word, you might
say. Keen appreciation is the forcrun
ner of all great things.
Miss Hall s second book of poems
is now nearly ready for publication.

Crowds Gather
Special to The Press

MEXICALI, Sept. 1.-THE days of
the Spanish argonauts were revived in
this historic old settlement of the
Northern District of Lower California
today and the maddest gold rush in a
decade is ON. All Mexicali is excited
about il and scores of old timers are
getting ready for the hills.
Free gold has been discovered within
two hours of travelling distance of
Mexicali and in quantities that makes
the veriest peon dream of untold
wealth.
The rush was started with the ar
rival in town late yesterday of Tomas
Rosas, an old time Mexican mining
man and prospector, who for years has
gouged the hills to the south and west
of Mexicali for the yellow metal that
is the standard of all values.
Rosas came into town mounted on
the back of an ancient jenny of un-
usual size and leading n trio of pack
animals of the same breed loaded down
with his camp equipment and sacks of
ore.
He announced briefly that he had
struck it at last. He unpacked a sack
of ore and showed samples that in the
language of the prospector was ''lousy
with flake and wire gold in the free
state. - In other words it was stuff that
could be pounded out with peste
and mortar. He dumped out from a
small buckskin sack on the bar of a
cafe into which he had drifted n small
pile of thick flakes and small nuggets
of pure gold which would average 800
to the handful.
The display of gold samples by Rosas
created the greatest of excitement.
lie was literally mobbed by Mexicans
and Americans alike to learn where he
had made the strike and all the details
of his discovery. Rosas had no OBJ
lection to telling all abount his diseov-
cry. He had already taken the precau-
ion to file on n group of claims IN the
Mexican mining bureau offices and he
RECALLED his auditors with tale of his
search and final victory in uncovering
q gold ledge of vast wealth.
The mine discovered by Resas is To-
Gated 80 miles south and west of Mex
icali in the mountain district on the
road to the southern gulf ports. His
located claims are one mile from the
national highway and the ground be
tween is easy of access for trail
parties and roadway is easy of
building. II umcoyered a week ago a
If foot ledge of free millin quartz
which runs, according to the assays he
has received, $1441 to the ton gold.
There is some copper, silver and lead
in connection.
The location is ideal and there is
plenty of water, lots of timber, easy
grades for automobile and truck travel,

! Daugherty was frustrated by republican
leaders in the House today before it
was fully under way.
A resolution demanding the institu-
| ton of formal Impeachment procedure
! against Daugherty was introduced by
| Representative Keller of Minnesota.
Harrassed by several objections, Kel-
| Ter was forced to read his charges first
and then present his resolution. When
he asked adoption of the resolution Re-
publican Speaker Gillett held that he
had automatically released the floor and
prevented him from continuing A'ith his
speech =.
Republican, Leader Mondell then
moved that Keller's impeachment reso-
luton be referred to the House Judiciary
committee, claiming this was the form
81 procedure.
The resolution is certain to be killed
speedily or allowed to die without action
by the committee, where an administra-
tion majority holds sway, it is said.
Keller made the following specific
charges against Daugherty:
First-Harry M. Daugherty, attorney
general of the United States, has used
his high office to violate the cOnstitu-
tion of the United States in the follow
ing particulars;
~. BY abridging freedom of speech.
"2. BY abridging the freedom of the
press.
''3. BY abridging the right of peo
pie pcaceably to assemble.
Second-That, unmindful of the
duties of his office and his oath to de-
fcnd the constitution of the United
States and unmindful of his obligations
TO discharge those duties faithfully and
impartially, the said Harry NJ. Daugher-
ty has, in the capacity of attorney gen.
cral of the United States, conducted
himself in Il manner arbitrary, oppres-
sive, unjust and illegal.
"Third-lIe has, without warrant,
threatened with punishment citizens of
the United States who have opposed his
attempts to override the constitution
and the laws of this nation.
"FOurth-IIe has used the funds of
his office illegally and without warrant
in the prosecution of individuals and
organizations for certain lawful acts,
which under the law he was specifically
forbidden to prosecute.
" Fifth-He has failed to prosecute
individuals and organizations violating
the law after those violations have be-
come "A public scandal.
"Sixth-IIe has defeated the ends
of justice by recommending the release
from prison of wealthy offenders
against the Sherman antitrust act.
Seventh-IIe has failed to prosecute
defendants legally indicted for crimes
against the people.

question of highest privilege the mo-
mept the chaplain concluded the open
