James Hastings Snowden, wife Of
wealthy oil operator. a few hours
after she had worn them at charity

annual fete Mrs. Snowden had paste

FORESEE SK|RM|SH
OVER GERMAN PLEA
Demand for Former Voting
Status in Radiotelegraphic
Congress Questioned.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Germany's right to as many votes
In the forthcoming interna tional ra do
Geographic conference as in previous
ones when representing her vast pre-
war Colonial Empire, is expected to
furnish the first lively skrmish upon
the opening Of the Congress here on
October 4.
Germany lost all her colonies after
the war. but she is understood to
claim that her economic importance
in the world entitled her to keep the
five votes awarded her in previous
conferences on account Of her pos
sessions. Were Germany to have mere
ly a single vote for her European ter.
l'itory her voting strength only would
be equal to that Of the smallest coun-
tries and inferior, for instance to Por-
tuSal, which has three.
Last Conference Ruling.
In the last Radio Conference held
in London, in 1912, it was decided that
countries should have, in addition to
an initial vote, one for each colony
with maximum of six.
Accordingly, Germany, Great Bri-
tain, France, Russia, and the United
States. had six votes each, the latter
representing, in addition to CONT
mental United States, Alaska, the
Philippines, Hawaii and other Pacific
possessions, Porto Rica, and other
Caribbean possessions, and the Pana-
ma Canal Zone.
Germany claims, it is understood
that the voting strengths decided
upon a. the last congress, are valid
until contrary action to any of them
are taken by a conference.
In addition the view is put forward
that the original allotments were
largely guided by the relative world
importance of the countries, and that
therefore Germany's position as a
great power still entities her TO a
corresponding voting strength.
Other Countries May Act.
State Department officials expect
efforts on the part OF other countries
TO alter their number of votes. Japan
for instance, which at the London
Conference, was awarded two votes,
will probably claim a higher repre-
sentation in view Of her prominence
In the far Pacific. Italy, likewise, it
is understood, will move for an in
crease in her present three votes.
The status of the Irish Free State,
which came into being since 1912. also
will have to be decided by the con-
ference. Suggestions have been made
either that the total vote for the Brit
fish Empire be increased to seven or
that the Free State act apart from
the rest OF the British commonwealth.
Two countries present at London
will not be represented at the Wash
ington conference. The Russian and
Ecuadorean governments have not
been recognized by the Washington
administration, and hence invitations,
which would have been tantamoupt to.
recognition. have not been extended

Arrested at Door of Home.
Graham was arrested at the door of
his home last night as he stepped

IMMEDIATE ARREST
OF HILL EXPECTED.
La Sale County Authorities
See Early Action-Sus-
peCt Held in Nebraska.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
STREATOR, ILL.,. August 29.-The
imminent arrest of Harry Hill on 4
matricide charge was predicted by
La Sale County authorities today.
There was no explanation in sup
port of the prophecy, but there were
many rumors.
Police at Valentine. Nebr. tele-
graphed they were holding 21-year-
old youth whom they believed to be
Hill. Streator officers wired full de-
scription of Hill.
Miss Esther Hanirin, secretary of
DR.. H. G. Hill, the young mans
father, talked with officers yesterday.
1t was understood she had been ques-
toned concerning reports that the
fugitive had communicated with his
aged father within the past few days.
The pulpit message in several
Streator churches yesterday was based
on the Hill case.
Gambling Losses Blamed.
Authorities were called upon to
clean up coffee houses where no cof-
fee is sold" and other places where
gambling was said to flourish. Gam.
bling losses have been given as a mo.
tive in the Hill case, the police theory
being that Hill. pressed for cash,
forged his mothers name to several
checks and killed her when rebuked.
Hill has been missing since last
Tuesday, the day after the body of
his mother. Mrs. Eliza Hill, was found
buried in the basement of their home,
a bullet wound in her head.
