BABES CRY STIRS
 DRAB COURT ROOM
Phiful Scene Enacted as Mother TgtifS Against Father

Two small children of Mir. and Mrs. Gustafsn added touch of pathos to the ordinarily formal at- mosphere of police court, this morn inx, as their wondering eyes fol- lowed their mother when she left them to take the witness stand to testify against her husband, charged with non-suppon. ~Manna, mama, " cried one, extending its chubby ht- tie arms in the suppliance of in- nocence. Attorney Monroe S. Cor don, who was sitting nearby, at tempted to quiet the chnd. but its cries continued. the little voice quiv- erins with fright, until Officer Thomas J. Feeney tenderly lifted the babe into the mothers lap. The other little one sat In silent won- dermea. but made no outcry even when laft all alone.
 Gustatson, who gave his age as 24, pleaded guilty to the charge and declined to make a statement. Asked by Assistant Prosecuting Att torney Gpeenstein the reason he does not contribute to the support of his family, he said he would not reply. Judge filling asked him If he realized the law compels husbands to support their dependents, he re- piled affirmatively.
 Mrs, Gustafson said she and her husband have been separated for two weeks. They and the children had been living in a single room at 234 East Main street, until they were forced to move because the rent was not paid. Judga filling continued the case until October 30 in charge of the probation dfficer.
 The continued case of Frank Vanish. aged 4s, of 4S Willow street. was again continued until october 30, in charge of the probation or fcsr. Mfr. Greenstein told the court an agreement has been reached whereby Vanish will contribute 10 the support of his family and the probation officer will handle the case. Attorney Thomas J. Caoelus represented Vanish.

j. s. D|SARM PLAN
CARRIED BY GIBSON
French Fight on Armament
Limitation by Categories
Of Ships Fails.

by the Associated Press.
GENEVA. Switzerla nd, October g.
\ lively session Of the naval sub
commission of the preparatory dis
armament conference took place last
night when the French delegation
tried to have excluded proposal linn
iting naval armaments by categories
of ships, which was submitted by the
American. Argentine, Chilean, British
and Japanese delegations. The French
took the ground that it really con-
tanned three methods, instead of one.
and that the proposal should not be
considered until the signatories were
in complete agreement.
Hugh Gibson, American Minister
to Switzerland, intervened in the dis
cussion with a blunt speech in which
he declared the signatories of the pro
posal merely wanted 1t TO 60 before
the full preparatory disarma me n-
commission on it's merits. He crit-
cized the French attitude as likely t"
block convening OF the proposed in
,ernational disarmament conference.
He said the big naval powers virtu-
ally were agreed concerning the best
method of reducing navies.
The French apparently resented
Mr.. GibSOn'S presence on the com
mittee of experts. hut the American
viewpoint finally was upheld.
The French and Italians object
to limitation by categOries of ships,
insisting that global tonnage should
he the sole method.
