LIMIT NOTE
U. S. Officials Suggest Some
Changes-DetaiIs Are Not
Made Public.

The American Government has
submitted to Great Britain certain
counter suggestions" in connection
with the drafting of the twelve-mile
limit treaty between the two coun-
tries, it was announced at the State
Department today.
This announcement was made in
order to explain the lengthy DELAY
that has been encountered in the
contamination of the agreement.
The nature Of the changes pro.
posed was not disclosed, but Admin.
istration officials appeared confident
that existing differences would soon
be ironed out and the terms of the
pact agreed upon.
The changes proposed, however
are understood not to alter tho
basic points Of the treaty. which
give to the United States the rieht
of search and seizure up to rweIye
miles, in return for permission for
British liners to come into Anari.
can ports with their liquor under
seal.
The original draft of the treaty
was prepared at the State Denarf-
ment and submitted to the Rritiah
Foreign Office some months apo
The British made some changes in
1t and re-submitted it to the state

WORLD FARLEY
ON AIRCRAFT
DISCUSSED
President and British Official
Decide Present Is Not
Propitious Time.

A conference over the possibility
of calling an international confer
ence for the Limitation Of aircraft
was held at the White House to-
day between President Coolidge and
the Duke of Sutherland, the Brit
ish under secretary for air.
Following the conference the
British air secretary Indicated that
it was not believed that the pres
ent would be propitious time for
such a conference. The unwilling.
ness Of France to agree to a re-
duction in aerial armament, cou.
pied with generally unsettled con.
ditions in Europe, would render the
conference useless, the Duke said.
British Favor Conference.
1.-THE position Of the British gov
eminent is well known" the duke
told newspaper men, I'VE favor
an air conference, but in view Of
the general conditions existing in
Europe, I do not believe that
France would consent to any reduc-
ton in aircraft. Consequently a
conference would be fruitless."
The opinion Of the Duke Of
Sutherland comedies with the view
Of the Coolidge Administration.
President Coolidge, as did President
Harding, is anxious that the inter
national race for aerial supremacy
be stopped before expenditures
reach a burdensome figure, but he
feels that no conference should ne
called until there is a prospect of
gaining mutual consent to reduc-
tons from all of the major powers.
British Plans Outlined.
The general subject of aviation
development was also discussed
by the President and the Duke of
Sutherland. The British secretary
outlined some of the plans of the
British Air Ministry, including the
proposed dirigible service between
India and the British Isles. He
lauded the American airship Shen-
andoah, which he inspected at
Lakehurst several days ago, and
declared that It's construction gave
promise of great possibilities in
the field Of aviation.
The Duke of Sutherland, who is
spending several weeks in the
United States inspecting Ameri-
can aeronautics. was presented
to the President by Charge DAT
fairies Chiffon Of the British EN-
bassy.

WRECK
CAUSED BY
AUTO
Commission Fails to Place
Definite Blame in Crash
Costing Nine Lives.

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 22.-In-
Vestigation by the New York pub
lie service commission into the ac'
cident of the Twentieth Century
Limited at Forsythe, n. Y, Deem
Der 9. which took a toll of nine lives,
brought these two conclusions from
the commission today:
Primarily, it resulted from the
placement of an automobile on the
tracks for a reason not now Definite
ly known.
That the engineman failed to act
on signals displayed to protect the
movement of his train.
Change Grade Crossing.
In his report, c. r. Vanneman,
chief engineer for the commission,
declares the only way to prevent
future accidents at Forsythe is TO
eliminate the grade crossing. He
points out that the elimination OF the
crossing was ordered by the commits
sion in June, 1922. but has been held
I'D by court action started by the
New York, Chicago and st. Louis
Railroad Company.
Vanneman emphasized that en-
gineers in charge Of high-speed
trains should be in perfect physical
condition He said one of the engine
men involved in the wreck said he
had bene feeling kind of dizzy" a
few days before the wreck and that
he had submitted to a physical ex-
animation which showed he had
high blood pressure.
Check Is Lacking.
''This brings up a very important
question said the report, namely,
the phys cal conditions of the en-
ployes charged with handling these
high-speed trains. So far as l know
no check is made of the condition Of
these men by any railroad.
cit seems to be irrefutable that a
man whose condition is such as to
cause his mind to relax even for a
moment, should not in any way be
permitted to handle trains of this
character, or, in fact, operate trains
on the railroad"
The report concluded with the
warning to railroads that engineers
should be forced to submit to
thorough physical examinations at
least once every six months.
