Conduct
A leeless man, with one hand

A lsgless man, with one hand
missing and one finger gone
from the other hand, aroused
interest In Police Court ysster-
day when he was arraigned be-
fore Judge Mcmahon on
charges OF being drunk and
disorderly.
The man, who gave his name
to the police aS Patrick Bryan,
admitted in court that his real
name was Edmund Burke. He
said he came to Washington
from Baltimore Monday. ~,
The police produced as evil
dence cards, which they said
were taken from Burke's pock-
cts. These cards explained the
that Burke had suffered his In
juries In o collision. The po-
lice say that he passed these
cards to bystanders add then
passed the hat.

I the nations parties to the Conference
we have made war more diificulu and
less justtfable for all nations, and
have given new assurance TO those
who desire and hope for the future
peace of the world.
The present administrator n.c
given not only actual and 2-av..cs'
expression of its desire for peace, 1,
has gone to the extreme limit in Tie
reduction of its military establis..,
ment.
We are "scrapping" our Navy dow
to the treaty standard, by which tas
United States must limit its tonnass
to $4,000; Great Britain 525,0O0.
Japan 315,O0O; France 175,O0O; and
Italy, l75,000.
We have reduced our annual war ey-
penditures of over $4,000 ,O0O, 900 to
about ss0O,OOOO00 and are maki,x
further reductions every year.
The last administration refused &c
end the war with Germany for ovc'
two years after the Armistice wa.
signed, except upon acceptance OF the
Versailles treaty with the League Gov
enant. The present administration
made peace with Germany without de-
lay and without surrender OF any right
the United States had acquired by its
participation in the war.
The United States will not be an
isolated nation under Republican ad-
ministrations. But it will be the con-
tinued policy OF the Republican party
to keep the United States to its tradi-
tional policy so as to prevent, entan-
clement in the mazes of conflicting
interests, territorial quarrels, religious
hatreds, and race jealousies which
have afflicted Europe for more than a
thousand years. The peace-loying peo
pie OF America Will do we'll to main
tain that policy, and to support that
party which not only desires peace
but takes practical measures to OBJ
tain It,; which is not afraid TO propose
and effect reductions o: our own Army,
Navy and armament III order to induce
other nations 10 do likewise. and
which will not be swcryed from It's
policy and purpose by any chimer.cai
scheme. or by any ambitious or sord.c

LEAGUE FORMED
TO FIGHT BILL
FOR BIG ISSUE
Public Welfare League Gets
Started to Stop Water
Power Amendment

Organized opposition I'll lmperia.
County to the proposed amendment TO
the constitution of California; known
as the Water and Power Act, is under
way today as result of meeting
held ut the Barbara Worth hotel last
night, which was attended by represent
ative citizens from all parts of the val
lev. The name selected for the new
local organization is the Public Wei,
fare League of Imperial County, ana
the primary purpose of the body is TO
form strong countrywide league o.
voters to combat the so called $500,00O,.
600 public ownership amendment which
will be voted on at the coming general
election.
The initial meeting was sponsored by
men active in public affairs in every
community of the county. Ross l.
Hickcox acted as temporary chairman
and stated the purpose of the meeting
There seemed to be no division of opln'
ion on any of the drastic propositions
set out in the proposed amendment, anu
the meeting at once proceeded to the
election of permanent officers.
In calling the meeting to order Mr..
Hickcox said he was interested in or
ganizing for the defeat of the amend
ment because it granted such unlimited
powers to the five directors. 1t gave
them, for instance, the right to exer-
else the power of eminent domain AMI
he saw in this unrestricted grant d
menace to the irrigation project or I'M
perial Valley. At the whim or plea
sure of this board this great project
could be taken over by the state and
away from the ranchers who have de
veloped it. He thought the provisions
o fthe measure should be carried to the
people of the valley that they know
what the amendment will do.
Name Hutchinson Head
/ l.. NJ Hutchinson, president of tn ,
, Calcxieo Chamber of Commerce, was
chosen president of the league, and
| John F. Greer of FL Centre was named
rs :. the permanent secretary. Vice
presidents from all parts of the valley
were named as follows:
/ J.. H. Wehn, INLAND, A. ]. Erickson.
/ Calipatria; B. d. Irvine and Major w.
7. Dunn, Brawley; y. A. Mackey and
| j. d. Huston, lmpe' lal; Leroy Holt,
/ +. B. Miller and O. G.. Horn, FL Centre
o. L. James, Melolanl; Frank Albright,
/ Mt. Signal; d. A. Leonard and T. j.
West, Calexico.
In addition to the foregoing list o.
/ vice presidents u number of others
were tentatively selected, but their alb
senee from the meeting last night pre-
vents the announcement of their names
until they have accepted the appoint
ments. 1t is the plan of the league to
have two active vice presidents in
every precinct in the county outside
of the cities, and several in each of the
cities.
Two important committees were
named by President Hutchinson last
night. The committee to. have charge
of the speakers bureau is Ross T.

The people of the United States earn
estly desire peace. The last admin
istration, with an insistence that
would not consider any method OF Sc
curing the peaceful settlement Of in
ternational disputes except the League
OF Nations, went out of power largely
because OF that fact. The people saw
in that scheme an assurance of furth-
er wars rather than a reasonable plan
for the discouragement and prevention
of wars.
The present administration with rare
wisdom undertook to secure concrete
and definite international agreements
which would result in diminishing the
probability of future wars by limiting
the armament of those nations whose
competitive strife could only result in
future wars. Accordingly, the Presi.
dent called a Conference to meet at
Washington to consider the limitation
of armament and TO make such settle
ments and agreements especially with
regard TO tae Pacific and adjoining
territory as could determine existing
disputes and remove causes Of future
discord
Judged by practical results the
Washington Conference was the great
est actual achievement in the cause
Of peace ever accomplished. 1t Sc
cured a treaty agreement by the five
great maritime powers for definite
limitation of naval armament. 1t Sc
cured a definite agreement regarding
the use Of submarines and noxiou:
gases in warfare. II secured by the
tour-pact treaty an agreement fixing
the status. defining the rights, and
limiting the building and enlarging OF
for,ihcations and naval bases on the
Pacific. II secured a confirmation by
nine 0. the great nations Immediately
concerned OF the open Door" policy,
and agreements that will prevent the
future exploitation of China. 1t Sc
cured the withdrawal Of Japan from
Shantung and Siberia. and an agree
ment with Japan defining and confirm
Ing American rights in the island OF
Yap.
Through these agreements. which
are being actually carried into effect
by the contracting nations, We have
greatly reduced the war burdens OF
