AMERICAN PRELATE
RAPS DRUG PARLEY
Bishop Brent Scores Lame.
ness and Insufficiency" of
Conclusions in Geneva.
BY the Associated Press.

iy the Associated Press.
GENEVA, December 6.-Bishop
Brent of the American delegation
did not conceal his dissatisfaction
tonight with what he called the
'lameness and insufficiency" of the
conclusions arrived at by the first
opium conference. A statement from
him to that effect will probably be
distributed to all the delegates at
Mondays plenary session.
Bishop Brent tried to have a pIenary
session called today SO that he could
speak his mind before his departure
for the United States. 1t was found
impossible to convene gathering at
such short notice, and the bishop
absolved the conference authorities
of the suspicion that they were try
ing to evade the issue. He declared,
however, that he would endeavor to
present his views on the conclusions
of the first conference to the French
and British governments before sail
ing.
Representative Stephen q. Porter.
the chief American delegate, made
1t known tonight that he would read
Bishop Brent's statement as soon as
the conclusions OF the first conference
sle embodied in an agreement and
are placed before the second con-
ference.
study Make-Ip of Board.
a meeting of the business com
mittee this afternoon was largely
occupied with discussion of just what
persons and what nationalities shall
compose the central board for con-
troll of the worlds opium trade, how
the board shall be selected and under
whose authority it shall operate.
There still are divergencies of
views. For instance, powers outside
the league, like the United States
and Germany, are not overeager to
have the board operate under the
league seCretariat, while others.
league members, maintain that is the
best and most workable solution.
NJ. Sugimura Of Japan raised an
interesting point, saying that Russia
must be induced, somehow, to CO.
operate in the central boards work.
That country must also be consulted.
he declared, because the Republic OF
Soviets now Is a great field for opium
smuggling. and much opium is en-
tering its territory. This subject,
however, was not pursued, because
the Soyiet's sCathing letter of re-
fusal to participate in the work Of
the second conference is still fresh
in the delegates minds.
Committee Work Near End.
The second conference Will hold q
plenary session Monday morning,
which meeting, it is expected, will
be confined to general discussions, the
chairmen of the various committees
presenting the reports on the status
of their work. All the delegates
hope that the committee and sub
committee labors will be finished by
the end Of next week, after which the
task of Co-ordinating the divergent
reports Will begin.
John Campbell, chief delegate from
India, left for London tonight.
Bishop Brent will leave tomorrow
night. He plans to spend day or
two In Paris, after which he will pro-
ceed TO London, boarding the steam Ter
lie, athan on the 14th.

thousands of dollars should fire

before the city counsel at the reg
ular monthly meeting of that body

dition of some of the water mains

feet of main piping which would
cost about $4,000 would be neces-
sary to insure adequate fire pro-
lection.
The council went on record as be-
lieving that new water mains should
be laid to replace old ones which
are in bad condition, and that bonds
should be issued to meet the cost
The water and light committee was
appointed to investigate the situa.
ton and to make recommendGt lions
to the council. This COMMITTEES

THOS. FIELDER CLAIMS
POLITICS BEHIND BILL

ATLANTA ia, March H.
'Thos B, Fielder, former Atlanta
lawyer, now a prominent attorney
on Broadway in New York City in
a statement made public here today,
asserted that the bribery indictment
against him in New York, reported
in news dispatches, had been re-
turned for political reasons. He
alleged enemies of Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty and William J..
Burns, head of the national secret
service were seeking to attack
them through CASTOR B. Means,
jointly indicted with Fielder, who is
Means counsel.
The political nature of the met
ment, Fielder said was indicated by
the fact that his three law partners,
who were charged with actually re.
ceiving most of the money, were
not indicted, and that he was in
dicted, although none of the money
was paid to him. He admitted that
about $4,000 had been paid to his
firm, but asserted that the money
was a legitimate fee for lgal selS-
ices, not for corruption ~
