Sentence, Unfinished, Would
Be Cancelled and State
Could Hang Him

Hugh Alcorn, States attorney for
Connecticut, left the Capital today
after another series of conferences
with Government officials here
oyer the status of Gerald Chapman,
the super-bandit, whom Connecticut
authorities want to hang.
Alcorn declined to discuss the
results of this mission here. The
State cannot hang Chapman legally
because he is an escaped Federal
prisoner and has many years left
OF a twenty-five-year sentence.
One of Alcorn's conferences to-
day was with James. 4. Finch, par
don attorney in the Department of
Justice, following which it was re-
ported that Chapman would be
Offered" Presidential pardon.
Should Chapman accept such a
pardon 1t would wipe out the re.
mainder Of his Federal sentence
and make him a candidate for the
States moose.
Legal experts, however, assert
that prisoner cannot be compelled

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Senor
Juan de la Cierva, inventor Of
a new rotating wing for aero

slider the question Of "auto-

Since these new machines are

To make this practical IN all

U. S. Navy Strength Likely to
Be Scrutinized by League
During Farley
By H. K. REYNOLDS
international News Service

LONDON, Nov. 24.-The naval
power of the United States may
come under the scrutiny Of the
League of Nations in its proposed
conference on limitation of arma-
ments, it was learned here today.
Such action ID expected as a
result of the publication of French
government proposals that no
power shall be permitted to main
tain ornaments which are superior
TO those (which could be assem-
bled by the State attacked and the
League of Nations in defense of
the latter"
Aimed At u. S. Navy
In view Of the fact that the two
leading naval powers Of the word
are the United States and Great
Britain, each Of whom have naval
forces superior to those of any
other country, it 10 pointed out in
official circles here that the
French suggestion. can be in
terpreted as an effort to effect
the reduction OF the American and
British navies below the strength
authorized by the Washington coz
ference.
Great Britain does not object to
limited reduction, but In the
French suggestion there IL seen a
disposition TO abrogate the 5-5-3
ratio established between the
rayies OF the United States, Great
RPff0fVA 0WA
eQualtze the naval strength Of
these powers.
Great Britain win oppose any
p1ch proposal and expects the
United States to support it's objec-
ton.
May Delay Action
The possible participation Of
the American government In the
League Of Nations disarmament
conference remains q matter OF
although It Is believed that the
apparent disposition Of the French
government to question the naval
power.~-of the United States may
cause the Washington adIninistra-
ton 70 take more than q pass
ing interest in the Geneva delibera-
tons.
The drastic proposals which
France has announced she viii
make at Geneva are being widely
discussed here.
In some circles 1t ID suggested
that the French proposals were
drafted and published by the
French government without any
hope Of their being adopted, but
with the possible intention Of
stirring up discussions that would
retard rather than hasten further
disarmament.
