Orlando Visitor
Loses $4,000 in
Bills on Street
,ny Associated Press,

Orlando, Jan 10.-J. B. Lewis, of
this city, recently experienced two
thrills that come twice in lifetime.
His first was when he lost wallet
containing $4,000; his second when
he recovered it, in reality, only a
short while afterward, but imagina-
lively several generations, he said.
Mr.. Lewis discovered his loss when
he reached for the wallet at his home
to put it away from the circulation
without.
On an avenue downtown Joshia
Hancock with his eyes alert, espied
the wallet before him on the side
walk. He, too, experienced unusual
emotions. He hurried into a nearby
store and told of his find. He turn
ed the money over to the owner of
the store for safekeeping. In the
meantime Mr.. Lewis was not main
tanning secrecy in regard to his loss,
and as a result he was finally steered
to the store, where the wallet and its
treasure was returned to him.

Rotarians Resolve

day, leaving the club without pro-
gram.
Harry Montmollin asked if any
thing had been done about clearing

chased some time ago, saying that
he had been informed that all work
of preparing the grounds for use had
been held up during the absence of
Henry Van Horne, chairman of the
park committee of council.
Lew Stevens made a motion that
the Rotarians invite the Kiwanians
and members of the Chamber of
Commerce to join in setting day
for all members to go to the park
site and do some much needed clear
ing before the actual work of beau
tifying the place began. With three
exceptions the club voted to do this.

Ondre Tardieu, writing in former

with a diatribe captioned "The Can

torn up the promises he made in De-

Premier BRAND appears to have
few friends in the press. The Figaro

ON TALLAHASSEE'S
NEW POSTMASTER
Republican Who Hasn't

in Examination

characterized as "most vigorous"
were made today before the senate
postoffice committee against the
confirmation of W. H. Hayes, nomi-
mated by President Harding to be
postmaster at Tallahassee, Fla. AL
though the committee is considering
the matter behind closed doors, it is
learned that representative of Tai
lahassee citizens strongly objected
to favorable action on the nomina-
tion.
It is under that it is claimed that
Hayes is hardly a citizen of Florida,
and is not now residing in Tallahas-
see. The charge was made it is
said, that he did not have the high
est grade of three who lead in the
examination under the civil service
rule, and that he arrived in Florida
from Pennsylvania less than a year
ago.
At least one witness before the
committee urged that the name be
withdrawn and that another, that of
local man who had lived in the city
practically all of his life be substi-
tuted. 1t is stated that this request
may be presented to the president
by Senator Fletcher.

placed by new rules which the board
directed the employees and the car
riers to draw up by agreement. The
disagrearseHts resulting from such
negotiations were referred to the
board.
Forty-four roads submitted dis

Cannes, France, Jan. 10.-Notifi-
cation of endorsement by the British
cabinet Of the written pledge bind
ing Great Britain Immediately to aid
France to the full extent of her mil
itary and naval resources in case of
aggression by Germany is expected
from London by tonight. The pact,
agreed upon by Premiers BRAND and
Lloyd George, was telegraphed to the
British capital last night.
The council planned to recess to-
day until p. M, while subcom-
mittee engages in the delicate task
of framing an invitation to the forth
coming international financial and
economic conference tot the Russian
soviet government.
Meanwhile the French delegation
is awaiting results of consultations
in Paris regarding settlement of the
German reparations question.
The council is to discuss this mat
ter with German delegation head
ed by DR.. Walter Rathenau, which is
expected to arrive from Berlin to-
morrow.
The council plans to impress upon
the German delegates the fact that
the allies cannot longer tolerate dis
order in Germany's finances.
The French have proposed that the
allies appoint commission to take
charge of the German debt in case
she defaults in the reparations pay
ments. Mr.. Lloyd-George, however,
prefers to give the Germans a
chance to put their finances in order
and balance their budget before
adopting further measures of con-
troll.

Tossing a murder, Frank H. Gather

in July, 1919, in New York, believ-

while he was absent overseas. He
fled, joined the army and later was
transferred here. The feeling that
he was being pursued caused him to
surrender. A cablegram today from

several hundred citizens, white and

an American flag, came from the di-

The last man in the column carried a
sign enjoining all not to attempt to
follow.
At intervals banners were borne
with inscriptions on them addressed
to loose women, gamblers, crooks
and bootleggers. No. disorder at

CONFERENCE NAVY MEN
STILL STUDYING Up ON
TECHNIC AL|T|ES PLAN
tBy Associated Pressl


Washington, Jan. 10.-Delegations
of the five naval powers continued
today their separate study of the
draft treaty prepared by naval and
legal experts to cover their naval
limitation agreement preliminary to
meeting later in the day of dele
cation heads to compare opinions on
detailed provisions of the draft. The
treaty was given to the several dele
cations for study late yesterday and
the time required for this caused a
postponement of the meeting of the
full naval committee originally
planned for today until tomorrow.
The committee was expected, how
ever, to reach final agreement on the
| text within two or three days, and
the treaty to be ready for publica-
ton to the world at plenary ses-
sion of the conference on Thursday
or Friday.
Although carefully guarded Sc
cret in both substance and text, the
tentative draft is understood to in.
clude a number of wholly new fea-
lures, chief among these a proposal
to extend the duration Of the pact
until 1887, this not to affect, how
ever, the ten-year period of the ma
val holiday. Another new provision
would authorize construction of war
ships on foreign account within the
| jurisdiction of the five powers, the
size limitations on such ships to con-
form with those in the treaty.
The treaty draft would settle the
merchant ship problem by limiting
the armament of merchantmen to
six-inch guns, THUS making armed
merchantmen definitely inferior to
regular or converted naval auxiliary
vessels, which may carry eight-inch
guns, and also, it is understood, by
prohibiting the conversion of any
commercial vessel of more than $10,-
600 tons into naval auxiliary. AL
though it was expected these pro-
visions would be finally accepted, the
merchant ship problem was still one
of the questions of definition which
weer understood to be the chief con-
Germ of the delegates in their effort
to agree on a wording acceptable to
everyone.
With the armament program of
the conference nearing final dispo-
sition, the delegates weer preparing
today to press to an early conclu.
sion also the Far Eastern discussions
and to this end it was apparent that
the Shantung negotiations were be.
! ing turned into new channels with
revived hopes of agreement. The
nature of the latest move had not
been revealed, but both the Chinese
and Japanese implied that new and
promising elements had been inject
ed into the negotiations. Believing
that the other remaining elements OF
discord in the Far East were not Of
nature to lead to extended debate
some of the delegates were so op.
timistic regarding the outlook as to
predict plenary session for Satur.
day or Monday to announce compile
tion of the Far Eastern treaty.
Arthur J. Balfour, head of the
British delegation, had completed
definite arrangements today to sal
for home next Tuesday, and his col.
leagues on the delegation said it was
entirely probable that he would sigr
the Far Eastern agreement before
his departure.
