Frances Objections To Farley
At Genoa Are Defended As Not
Intended To Obstruct Allies

PARIS, Feb. 4.-(By the Associated
Press) objections to the
Genoa conference and her plea for
participation of all League of Nations
members, are defended as in no wise
intended to obstruct the conference
in semiofficial note in which it is
said conversations are proceeding sat
isfactorily on the points at issue be-
tween France and Great Britain.
Far from seeking to raise an OBJ
stacle to the conference" says the
communique, lit is sought to prevent
failure which Great Britain would
be first to regret. IL adds that con-
versations can be conveniently con-
tinued, as the Genoa gathering seems
to have been necessarily postponed
because of the Italian mInister.aI
crisis.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4.-Miss Ma.

ress who was with William Desmond
Taylor shortly before he was shot and
killed in his home here last Wednes-
day evening, stated tonight that a
package of letters written by her to
Taylor at different times was miss

said the letters were there a few
weeks ago.
The letters, she said, were friendly
in tone, and there was nothing in
them to be ashamed Of" but she was
unable to account for their disappear
ance. The police detectives placed
much weight on this development,
saying it was the first real sign OF
any description pointing to possible
motive for the shooting.
Miss Normand went to the Taylor
home late today with police detect
ives, and there re-enacted the occur
rences of the hour she spent with
Taylor before his death Wednesday
night. After she had done this, she
told Captain Adams OF the detective
bureau, that she wanted to look for
her letters. Search failed to bring
them to light
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4.-The force
of detectives investigating the slay-
ing of William Desmond Taylor, mo-

as William Cunningham Deane, ac-
companied by Miss Mabei Normand,
film actress, late today paid a visit
to the house where Taylor was shot
to death. Miss Normand, at the re,
quest of the detectives, re-enacted the
scene at the Taylor apartments Wed-

and left shortly before the time the
police say he tragedy occurre4.
Miss Normand said she was In the

! WASHINGTON, Feb. A. (By the
Associated Press)-By not trying tt
do too much the Washington arms
conference "has succeeded in doing
something real and practical" Sena
tor Lodge. of the American delega
tion, declared tonight in a statement
commenting on the results of the
meeting. The secret of the success
he declared lay in the fact that al

ed to naval armament 7" 4" The
reduction involving abandonment or
destruction of many capital ships was
not the most important feature of the
limitation. The great achievements,
to my mind were the limitation on
the tonnage of ships and the calibre
of guns, for this means an end of
competition in ornaments. and naval
competition was the real danger.
Supplementing this, with the naval
holiday by which no building can be
undertaken before 1947, except for
requirements under certain limited
conditions we may truly say that the
conference has succeeded in not only
a reduction, but a permanent reduc-
tion in naval armaments, putting an
end to competition both in guns and
tonnage, and this limitation of guns
and tonnage eytends beyond capital
ships and includes all auxiliary ves-
sells as well.
THE second achievement is what
is popularly known as the four power
treaty. by which the four nations
insular possessions or domin-
ions in the Pacific terminated the
alliance-an alliance
which carried in it the seeds of future
troubles in the Pacific region. This
was the one all important point in the
four power treaty. * The
treaty contains no possibility OF any
alliance and no obligation whatever
beyond the obligation to consult in
case of controversy and no nation
is bound by the results of consulta-
tion.
IN regard to China. the outstanding
and most important result was, of
course. the return of the province of
Shantung by Japan. Apart from the
Shantung settlement. other things
were done by the conference of the
highest value to China"

T -NCLE SAINTS forestry service is
y ever on the watch against rattle
snakes in the national forests. Ar
rangements were some time ago per-
fected for the arming of forest Off
GERS and fire-fighters against snake
bites.
The weapon provided for them is a
small combination tool containing a
sharp steel lancet and receptacle to
hold permanganate of potash. which
is declared to be the best antidote
for snake bite. This remedy may not
be altogether popular in districts
where from time immemorial the old
time favorite remedy, whisky. is held
to have no equal. but, nevertheless.
the official sanction has been given
permanganate.
The necessity for furnishing for
est officers with adequate means of
protection against attacks by snakes
has time and again been strikingly
demonstrated in the case of big for
est fires. After the fires were thought
extinguished and the men withdrawn
it was discovered that the fire had
broken out again. Squads of men
were dispatched Immediately to fight
them and on their way they ran into
a regiment or two of rattlesnakes.
In one case it seemed as IL the brush
was literally alive with snakes. The
men consumed the greater part OF
six hours fighting snakes before they
could get through to the fire. Sew
eral of the men were bitten.
Oficials Of the forestry service as
sert that rattlesnakes are as plenti-
full in Montana as in southern Cali
fornia forests and in sections OF
the southern Appalachians. acquired

Timber survey crews of the for

snakes. 1t is believed that they have
the worst time of all in this relation.
The mountainous sections of North
Carolina are great breeding places
for snakes and some of the regions
are now inclosed in national forest
areas. Twenty years ago rattle
snakes were quite scarce In the
North Carolina mountains. Those

something almost unbalaced in the
mans relentless activity.
From the first evening OF Stephens
arrival he had known that Mr.. Hig-
gins. and not his wife, commanded
the establishment. To run a place
like that, with even moderate eff
cheney, demanded a very real execu-
tive talent. But Michael Higgins had
evidently never offered her even an
apprenticeship.

study of the instincts and the sup
posed "psychism' of spiders, thinks
that the apparent sensitiveness of
these creatures to music has been
misunderstood. It is his opinion that
when musical instruments are played
near their nests the spiders simply
feel the vibrations through their
webs, or otherwise, without recog-
nizing the musical notes as sounds.

TINE lullaby has always been a
popular form of home song.
Childhood is a fleeting period

bread-earning portion of humanity.
In that whirlpool of business rush,

life we look once more upon the calm

of a lullaby waited US to the land of

1t was something of this kind
which prompted Mrs. Elizabeth Akers
