To FACE CHARGES
JUDGE UPHOLDs INDICTMENT
CHARGES AGAINST ILLINOIS
GOVERNOR
Nine Of Thirteen Counts Of IndIct.
nent Charging Conspiracy and Con-
duct Of Confidence Game
Up Held by Court

Waukegan, Ill.-Judge Claire Ed
wards Of the circuit court of Lake
county Thursday upheld an indictment
charging Governor Len Small with en-
bezzlement of 100000 of state funds
and nine Of the thirteen counts of an
indictment charging the governor.
Lieutenant Governor Fred E. Sterling
and Vernon Curtis. banker of Grant
Park ILL.,, with conspiracy and oper-
ating a confidence game involving ST.
100000 in state money.
The court ordered the governor to
trial January 8 on the embezzlement
charge.
g. Judge Edwards sustained the attor-
neys for the governor and Mr.. Curtis
In part by quashing an indictment
charging them. together with Mr. Ster-
ling, with embezzlement of 100000 ;
and quashed three counts charging
conspiracy and the one charging con-
ndence game in the other joint indict-
msnt. As result, Mr.. Curtis will facs
trial only on the nine remaining counts
Of the conspiracy charged.
Although Mr.. Sterling Is not party
to the proceedings here on a charge
Of venue from Springfield. where the
Indictments were returned July 20,
1921, Judge Edwards action will au-
tomatcally kill the embezzlement
charges against Mr.. Sterling.
The courts decision, a 5OOO-word
document which goes at length into
the arguments Of G. c. Leforgee and
other attorneys for the defendants in
support of their motions to Quash. was
read in court Thursday afternoon in
Mr.. Curtis.
After disposing Of the defense mo-
tons and detailing his decision on each
Indictment, Judge Edwards said in con-
clusion:
'"This IL an important case from
three standpoints:
"First-From the legal principles in
volved, which have been so ably pre-
sented;
"Second-Importnat to the defen-
dants to have an immediate trial; and
OF the state Of Illinois, that their gov
ernor be either convicted If guilty of
his offense, or If not that he be &C.
quilted and permitted to give Shis at
tention to the duties Of the high Of
fee which he now holds.
Accordingly, believing that speedy
justice is as much to be desired az
exact justice; and without consulting
the wishes of counsel on either side
the court. Of its own motion, hereby
sets the first of these cases for trial
on Monday, January 9, 1922. at $50

NAVAL DEMAND
UNREASONABLE
HOPE FOR AGREEMENT ON LII
ITATIoN OF SUBMARINE TON.
MAGE Is Abandoned
American Compromise ProposaI Finally
And Completely Reje sted
BY the Frenoh
Delegation


to limit submarine tonnage was de-
clared to have been abandoned We'd
nesday at the meeting of tho arms
conference naval committee.
The demand by France for mini
mum submarine tonnage of 10000 tons
was declared by delegates to have
closed the door to any agreement, the
American compromise proposal having
been rejected finally and completely
by the French.
Casting aside the possibility Of har-
monizing views on submarine tonnage,
the American delegation brought
forth new proposal to limit the size
Of submarines and other auxiliary
craft to maximum of 10000 tons.
The presentation of tho French
viewpoint, based on calculations of her
naval experts and reinforced by ap-
prevail Of the French cabinet meet
ing in Paris, was followed by lengthy
| discussions, the committee adjourning
! the session after two hours after ar
engagements had been made to meet
| again at 8 p. m.
Albert Sarraut, head Of the French
delegation, it was understood. pre-
sented with an air OF finality the de-
claration that France could not accept
less than 330,OOO tons OF auxiliary
tonnage. in addition to a submarine
tonnage OF 10000. The American
compromise proposal would have given
France 81, 900 tons Of submarines.
The British and Japanese delega-
lions are said to have stated that in
| view Of the French stand on subma-
rines they would both feel compelled to
reserve action on the tonnage ratio for
auxiliary craft allotted Great Britain
and Japan under the American plan.
italian spokesman, following presen-
tation Of the French demand 1t was
said expressed regret that France had
not seen its way clear to accept a
smaller tonnage, and Japan, also
through here delegation spokesman, de-
clared that French demands amounted
to something which Japan could not
hope to sanction under the American
proposal.
The French delegation declared adj
herence to the capital ship ratio de-
mand despite disagreement on sub
marines, but with the reservation that
she desired to begin rebuilding re-
placement in 1927, although this did
not mean that she intended placing
them in the water before the replace
ment period provided under the cap
ital agreement.
Agreed that there was no hope Of
an agreement on total submarine ton
mage, the committee turned from the
submarine question to that OF auxil
iary craft. The proposal that the size
Of any warship other than a capital
ship or an airplane carrier be limited
to 10000 tons in future was put for
ward and was under discussion when
the midday adjournment was taken.
Tho. American proposition to limit
the size Of auxiliary craft to 10000
tons also provides that such vessels
shall not carry guns greater than eight
inches.
The American delegation. It was
! learned after the meeting, plans later
to present q proposal dealing with
airplane carriers. probably suggesting
limitation Of size az well as number.
