HOOVER DECIDES NOT TO RESIGN
 FROM CABINET
Makes Decision After Coolidge Plea That He
 Retain Post
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Secretary Hoover has definitely decided to re- main in the cabinet despite various ef- forts by commercial organizations to obtain his services.
 The secretary made his decision after President Coolidge had earnestly re- quested that he remain in the service of the government.
 Recently gossip about the capital has included Mir. Hoover's name in the list of those members of the presidents official family likely to go out of office when the new administration begins on March 4. The secretary himself has declined to make any statement, but it was learned today that he had in formed Mr.. Coolidge of his decision to stay.
 The secretary, who took office as a member of President Harding's original cabinet in 1921, consented to take the commerce portfolico only after he had been assured he would be given free hand to reorganize the commerce depart ment in such a way as to make it more responsvie to the needs of the commer- cial world. Much of this reorganizat tion program has been put into effect, but MT. Hoover desired to carry it on to completion.

 ARMS CONFERENCE
Grew Denies Report Of Alleged Hague
 Meeting
By HAMMOND CHAPTER

(By Leased Nlre tO lHc hSo-AAoi"
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-State de- partment officials are being kept up at night denying rumors which have started as result of the renewed dis- cussion of possible further armament limitation.
 Acting Secretary of State Grew has denied one report that the United States has sent out feelers regarding an al leged intention of calling conference to meet at the Hague.
 Some confusion has arisen in the dls- cussion of the last few days following Great Britain's statement that she would prefer postponement by the League of Nations council of considera- tion of the Geneva protocol which con templated an armament conference next summer.
 As this government looks at the ques- tion of armament limitation, there are two distinct problems involved. One is the reduction of land armaments. That is a problem which this government be- lieves to be the peculiar problem of Eu- rope. The American army has been cut down to about 11S,0O0 men, ac, cording to the secretary of wars fig ures, which is regarded by the war de pertinent and public opinion generally as being barely sufficient for police purposes and for preserving skeleton organization.
 But the question of further limita tion is one that vitally concerns the United States, and if the opportunity is afforded President Coolidge will bt willing to propose another conference He expressed this intention in a speech last spring. Restriction of submarine ana aircraft and auxiliary vessels sucl as destroyers, and lighter craft not COY cred in the naval limitations treaty ar' in mind.
 Even more important is the matter O outlawry of war, bringing internationa law up-to-date, and creation of an ef fective international tribunal. Pres ident Coolidges attitude on this phase has not been made known.
 Congress has gone on record favor ing further naval limitation and in cluded a request for this in one of tht recent appropriation bills.

BIG BARBECUE
 ENDS RANCHERS
 FIGHT FOR WATER
Los Angeles Aqueduct Waste Gates Again
 Open
(By Associated Press.

LONE PINE, Cal, Nov. 20.-A bar becue, and not bloodshed brought to close today another chapter in the twenty year long water rights feud be- tween the city of Los Angeles and ranchers of Owens valley.
 a- The open air feast at first planned as a sign of defiance, instead became feast of celebration, ending the latest episode of the water rights war, the seizure last Sunday by Owens valley ranchers of the Alabama waste gates of the Los Angeles aqueduct.
 Tonight slight vestige remained H the well organized camp which had housed Q the 7J to 150 men, women and chil- dren who had held the waste gates of the aqueduct in defiance to the courts and sheriff of 1nyO county and the wa ter which had been diverted into the Owens river, instead, was coursing down the aqeuduct into the citys reservoirs.
 Ranchers who previously had declared that they would release their possession of the waste gates for nothing short of the appearance of state troops or the presentation by Los Angeles of an ac- ceptable solution of the water rights controversy, decided to abandon their policy when adv vised in telegram Gom ". w. Watterson, 1nyo county bank CT, that bankers of Los Angeles would use their best efforts to effect an equitable settlement. but not while the aqueduct was in ''the hands of mob.'
 The aqueduct was held in an attempt to force the city to abandon its policy in the purchase of water rights, which Owens valley ranchers assert is turning the district into a dessert.
 District Attorney Jess Hession, who left yesterday for San Francisco to con fer with Governor Richardson, was urged today in telegram from Sheriff Collins to impress upon the governor the urgency for immediate action to- ward the settlement of the long stand ing controversy. Collins predicted an- other outbreak if action was delayed.

What did he mean to her? Gail asked

that she had cared for Jeffry Arnold at first

she had been unable to hide the fact. Did
he know, did he suspect the truth, and
hadn't his eyes flashed a message of under
