Hear Maine Officials
On Farm Problems
At Boston Meeting

Boston, Dec. 10.-(P)-The New
England Farm Marketing conference
today heard three authorities on
agricultural matters advance sugges-
tons for improving home products
ana meeting outside competition, the
chief problems before the gathering
mere which is representative of agri-
cultural interests in the six states.
+. i. WaShburn, commissioner of
the Maine Department of Agricul-
ture, declared successful marketing
of New England's farm products de-
pended upon the factors of advertis-
ing, quality and the availa bility of
supply. He advocated legislation
which would stimulate demand and
suggest new ones, move for better
quality with education of producers
and handlers and improvement and
development of the roadside market.
Charles M. White, chief of the di-
vision of markets in Mr.. Washburn's
department asserted that any legis-
lative program looking to establish
ment of grades and standards should
confer the authority for the estab-
lishment of such standards upon state
agencies, rather than establish the
standards in the legislation itself
Much time would be lost in OBJ
tanning agreement among all mem
bers of the six state legislatures on
proper standards whereas state Off
GERS given blanket authority to es-
tablish grades could easily come to
agreement, he felt.
That quality must be the keynote
of any successful effort to meet
western competition, was stressed by
e. II. Jones, Vermont commissioner
of agriculture. Confidence of the con-
sumner n the keynote to success, but
if we Hre to enjoy its benefits it
must be earned" he declared.

Gloom in Geneva
Over Impasse Allies
and Germany on Arms

Geneva, Dec. 10-(R)-Considera BILE
gloom prevailed in Geneva tonight on
receipt of advices from Paris that
the council Of ambassadors and mill
tary experts of the allies and Ger
many were still wide apart and that
the allies still found the German as
surances concerning ornaments I'M
satisfactory.
The foreign ministers assembled
in Geneva undoubtedly hesitate to
take responsibility of inter allied
control OF German ornaments in
view OF the dissension over the
question at Paris. Doubt Is express
ed that the problem can be settled
tomorrow. as had been expected. as
the Germans are beginning to take
the attitude that they have gone to
the limit Of concessions and do not
see why their sincere assurances are
not sufficient
The existing impeachment to an ac-
cord is said to go further than first
meets the eye. In some league
quarters the assertion is made that it
is really linked up with the revolution
in China, which, a far eastern states
man told the Associated Press TODAY.

detrlment and danger of foreigners.
There is suspicion in these league
circles that expectations of war ma
terial by Germany, which have been
condemned by the allies are reaching

Straighten Out
Row Over Phone
Wires Boston Hotel

Boston, Dec. 10-(P)-The novelty
Of having a large modern hotel and
office building without a, telephone
connection, even with its next door
neighbor, was denied Boston TODAY by
an order Of the state department of
public utilities
The Statler Hotel. now under con-
struction, was refused service by the
New England Telephone and Tele-
graph Company after the owners in
stalled their own telephone wire sys-
TEN throughout the building. The re-
fusal was based on the installation
of the wires by men who were not
employees of the telephone company.
The work of pulling the wires was
started by telephone company cleo
tricians but a general strike of all the
men employed on the building threat
ened because the telephone workers
We're not members of union affiliat-
ed with the American Federation of
Labor. The crisis was dissolved by
giving the wiring work to a contrac-
tor employing union labor.
After the work was completed the
hotel requested connection with the
outside world and was refused. The
department of public utilities was
petitioned for an order to compel the
phone company to connect the hotel
system with its cables. The order
was given today and provides that
the company give the desired service
and that the hotel give title to the
wires to the phone company.

FAST BOWDO|N
INDEPENDENTS TO
PLAY LEGION HERE

The American Legion basketball
team, the original hard luck aggrega-
ton of Kennebec county, will face the
toughest gang of the season Tuesday
night at City hall A squad of eight
men, including some of the bestTin the
business, will come up to Augusta
from Bowdoin College Tuesday and
they have the very best intentions OF
walloping the Legion quintet.
Charley Gibbs. former South Port
land and Hebron gguard, who was
chosen as an all-Maine performer in
his position, will play in one of the
guard positions. Hermon Urban of
Seymour, Conn, all-Connecticut guard,
will play the other guard position.
Raymond Dexter of Fall River,
Mass, will play center. Deston is an
able pivot man and will be a strong
opponent for Ken Trask, who is ex-
pecfed to play for the Legion.
Howard Stiles of Augusta and Cole,
former Hebron star. will play the for
ward positions. Tom Connolly of
Bramford, Conn., and Phil Smith of
Portsmouth, N. H, will act as utility
men. This is one of the most power
full combinatan in the State and a
fast game should result.
The Legion will be as smooth a
passing outfit as ever, with two pow
erful scorers in addition. The game
should be one of the best of the sea-
son and will undoubtedly be attended
by a record crowd of Legion and Bow
doin rooters.

those negotiation with him as "a very
nice gentleman, very polite, but quite
unbendng in defending the German
practices to which the r~encn and
British military experts have been
Directing"
The two principal obstacles re-
naming in the way of an agreement
are the Koenigsberg Notifications
and the expectation of arms by Ger
many. These expectations, it is ex-
planned in reports, consist of material
that can be used or quickly convert
ed for war purposes, although it
might have peace time use. and also
machinery designed for the manu-
facture of arms and munitions.
During yesterdays and todays
conferences it was brought out that
the allies have compelled Hungary to
observe strictly the very restrictions
about which Germany is arguing. The
allied military experts declared there
was no reason why Germany should
not do what others are doing
1t is insisted by the Germans that
the Koenigsberg fortificaions is
merely a defensive post, although the
allies regard it as a strong position
for the start of an offensive. There
has been much additional construc-
ton at the fortress. which. the Ger
mans say. is merely In the way OF
undermining it, but which the allies
contend has turned it into an en-
trenched camp.

Says Chaplin Home
Party Was Tame
In the Modern View

Los Angeles, Dec. 1Q-tPt--The
after midnight party at the Charles
Chaplin mansion, which was described
as the immediate cause of the separa-
ton of the film star and his wife,
would be considered Somewhat dull"

that is Miss Helen Delaine's opinion
of it,
Miss Delaine is a young friend of
Mrs. Lita Grey Chaplin and was prse-
ent. She gave her version of it to
newspapermen last night.
The party was very circumspect
and quiet Miss Delaine declared 1T
was not at all like frequently publish
ed accounts of parties given in the
homes of movie stars
About 10 of US left the Biltmore
Hotel about 1880 A NJ. and motored
to the Chaplin home at Beverly Hills.

After We entered. someone started the
photograph and some of US were sit

l noticed Lita suddenly leaving the
room.
Then someone came in and called
her mother, Mrs. Spicer. and she also
left the room. After a short time they
both returned and Lita stopped the
music and said The party is all off.
I'm sorry and everyone left.
This threw damper on the party.
There had been no liquor served either
at the home or at the hotel"

Miss Caldwells suit was based
upon allegations that Hubbard pro-

went west when she told him that
Norman Bel Geddes, theatrical pro-

titled they were on the same train on

fond" of Miss Caldwell and he sup
nosed" he "loved" her. He also SAID

personally, would Immediately
take steps to appeal for a new trial,
but before any further action is TAX
en-, l will first consult with Mr.. Hub
bard"
Judge Thomson expressed surprise
when informed the jury had reached
an agreement. II thought it would
take them several days. the court
remarked.
