MUCH IMPORTANCE
BEING ATTACHED
TO ARMS FARLEY
Central American Conference
May Lead to Solution of
Many Problems of West
ern Hemisphere

Washington, October} 24.-Informal
communications from the five Gem
trail American governments invited
by the United States to meet in con-
/ ference here in December for discus
sion OF arms Limitation projects and
other matters indicate early accept
ance Of the invitations and appoint
ment of the five delegations. There
Is no doubt that Secretary Hughes
action, taken as il was virtually at
the request of the five governments,
has been received in Central america
with qualification. Formal accept
ance in some cases may be delayed
through the necessity OF securing APP
proyal OF either cabinet or Congresp.
The Arnericsh Invitation Exclusive
~ occupied attention in Pan-Amer-
lean diplomatic circles today Both
among the diplomats and in govern
ment circles the feeling prevails that
a step has been taken which may
bring results of far reaching ma
ture with respect to the international
relations in the entire western hemi-
sphere. Whether the Central Ameri-
can conference will prove a stepping
stone to subsequent treatment of all
American problems in n similar
way, it is said. must rest on the work
of the Central American delegations
when they gather in Washington in
December.
objects are simple
From the American viewpoint the
forthcoming conference is expected
to have immediate and decisive re-
action toward the solution of many
vexing problems now troubling the
relations of the Central American
group, Salvador, Honduras, Nlcara-
qua. Guatemala and Costa Rica.
The direct objects of the confer
ence, as stated in Mr.. Hughes invita-
ton are comparatively simple. Even
the arms limitation suggestion for
Central America should develop in
>surmountable obstacles, il is said, in
asmuch as the proposal is made for
the backing of the United States
government. The actual military
forces maintained by any Of the five
countries are small. None of them
maintain navy.
There was every indication here
today that while Mexico has not been
invited to the conference, since that
country is not regarded as Central
American nation. that Mexico's atti-
tude would be entirely sympathetic
with the purpose OF the conference.
That view was taken at the Mkt
can embassy.
Should an agreement be worked
out to supplant and strengthen the
Central American treaty of amity,
signed by the five countries in Wash
ington In 1907, it might be made
contingent by the conference on some
formal expression of approval and
support from Mexico and from the
United States.

BRANDEIS WILL HAVE
SUPERVISION OF MATTER

Washington, October 24.-The su-
preme court of the United States will
be asked to issue an order restraining
the government from enforcing the
prohibition laws against transporta-
ton OF liquor on foreign ships touch
ing at American ports and on Amer
lean ships outside of American coas-
tai waters.
Counsel for the ship lines which
instituted the original proceeding
before Federal Judge Hand in New
York. were in Washington TO-DAY pre-
pairing the necessary papers for sub
initial to Associate Justice Brandeis.
Being assigned to the second circuit
in which New York City Is located
Mr.. Brandeis would have super
vision over matters before Judge
Hands court and petition Sor
supercedeas order to hold up the
courts dismissal OF the ship compa-
MES Injunction would be filed with
him. IL granted the order would
prevent interference with normal
operation Of the fleets OF the APP
peiants until the legal point at Isl
sue had been decided by the supreme
court.
Enforce statute
Until Justice Brandels issues the
ofuer' feueral OFFICERS normally
would be required to proceed to en-
force the statute as soon as Judge
Hand formally signed the order.
Under presidents justices of the SUI
preme court prefer that requests for
injunctions shall be submitted to and
acted on by the court Itself.
The court Is in recess until No
vember 49, While the justices will
meet in the interminion conference
to discuss and decide cases. II is not
customary for the court to consider
at such gatherings any matters
which have not been submitted to
it in open court.
Administration officials Indicated
today that, even in the absence OF
specific restraining order, the gov
eminent was not inclined to enforce
strictly the liquor ruling promui-
gated by the department of justice
so long as its legality was before
the courts. Temporary regulations,
which would be in effect pending a
final decision, were laid before Secre
tary Mellon today, but were withheld
from publication until they had been
reviewed by Attorney General Daugh-
erty.
1t was understand that enforce
ment agents would be instructed In
these regulations that certain
latitude was permissible.

JOHNNY EvERS JUMPS
into SOX LINEUP

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 2S-Al-
though prominent in baseball for 20
years as a member of a National
league club, not until yesterday did
Johnny Evers, now Al years old, play
in an American league uniform. The
former star second baseman made his
debut in the junior organization just
as he did in the Nationals a mem
Der of a Chicago team.
An injury to Eddie Collins kept the
star second baseman of the White Sox
on the bench. Manager Gleason had
no extra infielder, so he injected Evers
into the lineup.
Notwithstanding that he had not
played since 1917, the famous veteran
showed that he can still play the
keystone sack. He failed to hit safe
ly but drew two passes and forced
in one run. In the field he accepted
six chances clearly, several of his
plays drawing applause.
Collins injured his right wrist in a
collision with Shortstop Sewell of the
Indians, Wednesday.

The Reds staged the biggest rally of

REPORT he WILL QUIT
is DENIED BY COBB
(By Associated Press.)

ST. LOUIS, April %. = A report
printed in a St Louis weekly sports
publication that Ty Cobb's days as a
manager, and player as well, were
numbered was emphatically denied by
the Detroit star on returning with his
team to Detroit, last night following
the series with the local Americans.
With the fiery vigor typical of the
Georgian's aggressiveness as a player
the Detroit manager asserted he would
not think of quitting as manager, and
"lay down the reins of a club that is
down in the ruck." Cobb added that
although it appeared he had made lit
tie progress in building up team, that
had been down so long, that was no in
dication that he was through.
1T takes time" he added, ito mould
