Declares Pasts Halted Folly Of
Preparation For War.
GREAT WORKS WROUGHT
Conference AdIourns Sine Die After
Formal Signing Of Treaties and
Hearing Presidents Farewell.

washington. The history-mak-
ing conference on the limitations
OF armament and Far Eastern ques4
lions came to an end with the signing
of the treaties and farewell address
by President Harding,
With its work characterized by Mr.
Harding as "the first deliberate and
effective expressions of great powers,
In the consciousness of peace, Of wars
utter futility," the great conference
went to its niche of history to await
the Judgments and developments of
the future
In the great assembly hall Of the
Daughters of American Revolution,
where all its open sessions have been
assembled, marched in turn to space
at the great green baize table and
affixed their signatures to treaties and
agreements which are all parts Of the
structure built to lift from war-torn
world the burden of excessive naval
ornaments to promote the peace Of
the Pacific; to give new bill Of rights
to China, and to remove from the Far
East, particularly, the clouds Of war.
And as each delegation affixed Sig
natures as plenipotentiaries, pledging
the honor of their respective nations
4 TO the good faith of the settlements
agreed upon, the great audience ex-
pressed the hopes of the world In its
loud and prolonged applause.
AT the close Of The ceremony Of sign
/ ing President Harding delivered his
i address, formally closing the confer
ence as he formally had opened 1t (on
November 12l, q little more than
twelve weeks ago.
There was long applause when Pres
ident Harding digressed to say:
"Whne the settlement Of the Far
Eastern question was not of direct
import to the United States, we re-
jolce in common with the world that
an understanding has been reached"
AS the president named the Ameri-
can delegates and thanked them for
their services to the nation, there was
applause at the mention Of each dele
gates name. There was more APP
pause when the president thanked the
advisory committee for its services.
At the end Of the presidents address
the entire party stood and applauded,
while the executive rook his seat
AS the applause died away Rev. DR..
Alternately, pastor Of the Baptist
church in Washington, which the pres
ident attends, stepped forward and
pronounced the benediction.
'May it be in the heart Of every
nation and every man." he beseeched,
ito hasten the bringing of the era of
good Will"
The prayer ended, Secretary of
State Hughes raped with his gavel
and announced:
"The conference is adjourned sine

Twenty Years.
By IntevuetionaI News serviee.

PARIS, Jnke 21.--Pauline Bessa-
rabo, who has been on trial here
with her mother. charged with the
murder or NJ. Bessarabo. the girls
father, was acquitted today.
The .acquittal followed a sensa-
tional scene in court when the
mother became hysterical.
Nine. Bessarabo was found guilty
Of murder. but in view OF extenuaf.
ing circumstances was sentenced
oe;'v to twenty years.
Tne murder occurred in 1920, when
M. Bessarabo's body was found in
a. trunk at Nancy. 1t had been
shipped from Paris. Nearly two
years Of inquiry followed before the
trial began on June 8 this year.
Public interest in the case was
heightened by the fact, that Maitre
Morogiaferri, chief Of counsel for
the woman and her daughter, had
defended "Bluebeard'' Landru. Nine.
Bessarabo thus succeeded Landru
In the pubic Imagination. Her
name became a catch phrase. She
figured In comic songs In the music
halls and in newspaper cartoons.
and daily the court was besieged by
thousands seeking admission. Letters
were produced. some of which
breathed warm passion by Nine.
Bessarabo, and others reviiing him
for marrying her for her money.
At one time Nine. Bcssarabo was
journalist and made trip to
Mexico for French newspaper.

Another Meeting on Probable
Strike Will Be Held
Saturday.
By WARREN w. WHEATON.
Inferua tionsl Nevys service.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June IL
The much discussed combination to
strike Of the coal miners and ran
road shop crafts remained mat
ter Of conjecture here today.
!. Definite assurances regarding the
coalition Of forces proposed for
meeting Jointly the coal miners
strike and the expected railroad
walkout failed to come from con-
ference Of leaders Of both unions.
Another conference will be held.
The only fruits Of the initial con-
ference was q joint statement from
John L. Lewis. president OF the
United Mine Workers, and B. M.
Jewell. president Of the, Railroad
Employees Department Of the
American Federation Of Labor. In
II both reiterated organized labor's
belief that the railroad workers viii
strike early In July.
Pending the time when the pub
lie comes to q realization OF the
actual facts, although we deplore
the necessity OF industrial warfare,
we have no other recourse but to
strike" the Joint statement read.
Railroad workers and the coal
miners have. since the signing Of
the armistice, suffered constant
series Of sinister disbursements
and attacks. They have had to re-
sist those onsiaughts under the
most adverse conditions. Their
losses have been heavy. The rail
road employees have now reached a
stage where they cannot longer
accept the intolerable conditions
which are placed upon them"
The conference was surrounded
by all possible secrecy. Conferees
were pledged to refrain from COM
ruenting on the meeting.
It is believed II will be held be
fore Saturday. when the railroad
workers strike ballots win be
counted.
