He is today the owner of the vast

Urge Trir,kle
To Call Session
Delegates Page and Smith Circular
iZe Members In Effort To Force
An Extra Assembly.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. l2.-The fight for
an extra session of General Assem-
bly, to provide emergency funds for
highway construction early in 1923
took ne wturn today when Delegates
Ivor A. Page, Jr., and Alfred c.
Smith sent an appeal to each member
of the House and Senate to join in Il
call for the special session. They ask
ach member to call for the extra ses-
sion without binding themselves to
any specific method of obtaining the
emergency funds.
This fight for the special session,
being wagei warmly by Tidewater
Virginia representatives. in the Gem
eral Assembly, has steadily become
more hotly contested. The turn taken
by events today, when the Norfolk del
ecate smade their appeal to all their
associates. was regarded as a signi-
ficant move.
Tho letters appealing for the call
point out that the two methods offer.
ed for obtaining road money, that OF
a bond issue or tax on gasoline, both
appear to have come to n deadlock,
with the result that the State is threat

Not Decided On
How To Collect
Prcmiers Leave Conference On DIFF.
fcrent Trains and With Different
Views On ReparatiOns.

London Dec. 12.-Premiers Poin-
care, MUssolini and Theunis left Lon
don today by different trains, thus
emphasizing their dissention over the
problem of how to collect war repara-
tions from Germany.
The London conference broke up
last night, when the French stood FIRM
ly for armed occupation Of the Ruhr
Valley in Germany. Bonar Law Of
Britain and Mussolini of Italy, new
premiers, were Just as strongly against
the French policy as their predecessors
had been.
France came forward with the same
proposal, a movement Of troops. the
result was the same old collapse.
The premiers will meet in Paris
January in another effort 70 achieve
unity, but it will be impossible if Poin-
care is still premier of France for he
will insist on further occupations.
Neither Law nor Mussolini is disposed
to participate in armed action, both
fearing the economic effect on the
Germans.
In the conference just closed, France
was exasperated 70 find Bonar Law
scarcely more pliable than Lloyd
George on the question Of Ruhr oc-
cupation.
It is intimated that Britains willing
ness to discuss cancellation of debts
is contingent on France modifying
its Ruhr policy. Laborite and Liberal
members Of parliament are openly
against occupation. The Bonar Law
cabinet is convinced such occupation
would be ruinous economically, fur
ther delaying collection of reparations
and causing turmoil in Germany.
America was not represented in the
conferences, but as as Mr.. Hought9n
STAYED at Claridge's Hotel, where
Poincare and Mussolini were stopping

Commons Wednesday.
