COAST SHIPPING INTERESTS

San Francisco.+eA plan to form a
Pacific coast shipping combine by
pooling ships allocated to Pacific ports

out here by Herbert F1eishhacker, To-
cal banker.

control and operation of vessels of an
aggregate value of approximately $780,

AGREEMENT ON SUB
TONNAGE ABANDONED
French Finally Reject AmerI-
can PROPOSAL as to Size
of Underwater Fleet.

Washington.-Hope. for an agree
ment to limit submarine tonnage was
declared to have been abandoned
Wednesday at the meeting of the arms
conference naval committee.
A demand by France for a minimum
submarine tonnage of 10000 tons was
declared by delegates to have closed
the door to any agreement, the Ameri-
can 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
a new proposal to limit the size OF
submarines and other auxiliary craft
to a maximum of 10000 tons.
The presentation of the French
viewpoint, based on calculations of her
naval experts and reinforced by ap-
proval of the French cabinet meeting
in Paris. was followed by lengthy dis
cussions, the committee adjourning the
session after two hours debate.
Albert Sarraut, head of the French
delegation, 1t vas understood, present
ed with an air of finality the declara-
ton that France could not accept less
than 100000 tons of auxiliary tonnage
In addition to a submarine tonnage of
10000. The American compromise
proposal would have given France
about 1900 tons of submarines.
The British and japanese delega-
tons are understood to have stated
that. in view of the French stand on
submarines, they would both feel COM
PEELED to reserve action on the tonnage
ratio for auxiliary craft allotted Eng
land and Japan under the American
plan. %
italian spokesman, following pre-
sentation of the French demand, II
was said. expressed regret that France
had not seen its way clear to accept a
smaller tonnage, and Japan, also
through her delegation spokesman, de
clared that the French demands
amounted to something which Japan
could not hope to sanction under the
American proposal.
h French delegation declared adj
herence to the capital ship ratio agree
ment despite disagreement on subma-
rines, but with the reservation that
she desired to begin rebuilding replace
nents in 1927, although this did not
mean that she intended placing them
In the water before the replacement
period provided under the capital
agreement.

GOV. SMALL TO STAND
TRIAL FOR CONSPIRACY
EmbezzIement Indictments Aaainst
Governor Are Sc Aside; Date
Of Trial Not Certain

Waukegnn. I1l.=Gov. Len Small
Thursday was freed of every charge
against him except that OF conspiring
with Lieut.. Gov. Fred e. Sterling and
Vernon Curtis to defraud the state OF
$ 100000 during Mr.. Sterllng's term
us state treasurer.
All charges of embezzlement during
his own term as state treasurer were
stricken from the records, partly by
Judge Claire C. Edwards and. partly
by the state. and the court also
punished n charge of operating a con-
fidence game.
The date of his trial on the one
charge remaining is still uncertain.
States Attorney G. Fred Mortimer
staged a vigorous fight to bring the
governor to trial on the first conspir-
acy charge, and failing in that nolled
the embe2zlement Indictment rather
than try 1t first.
The entertainments. besides charg-
ing the governor with mi~sappropriat-
Ing $5OO.O00 in state interest money,
also alleged he had destroyed or car
lei uWdy ndHy VI the TecOTuS OF the

when the defense expects to present
a motion esking for separate trials for
the governor and Mr.. Curtis. who are
bpth defendants under the conspiracy
charge. Legal jockeying may postpone
the actual start of the trial a month
or more.
IA missing word. the position of a
name. three errors in drawing indIct-
ments and the shuffling of n pile of
papers won a string OF victories for

moned by the lord mayor.
A resolution was moved proposing to
leave the decision to the dali %eireann,

of ratification. Owing to the uncer-
