CALLING OF CONFERENCE
OPENS DELICATE QUESTIONS


Geneva, June 2O.--tR--The con-
vocation by the United States Of the
thrce-power naval conference at
Geneva and, as it was afterwards ar
ranged, on the property of the
United States is not member,
opened delicate questions touching
the organization of the conference.
Great Britain and Japan as men,
bers of the League formally request
Sir Eric Drummond, secretary gen
eraf'of the League, promptly offered
all facilities that the conferees
thought they would need.
AS this was special conference
limited to three powers, it was fin
ally decided by the three nations to
select secretary general who would
be a citizen Of one of their coun-
tries. The. choice soon fell upon
Hugh r. Wilson, who had been APP
pointed American minister to Swift
erland only a month before the call
ing Of the conference.
Since 1924, Wilson had been chief
| of the division of current informa-

Washington, where he was in daily
and sometimes nightly touch with
the scores of newspaper correspond
ents. Wilson was born at Evan.

New Proposal Explained
Minister Gibson explained q
provision of the new proposal which
stipulates a period for transition
from present cruiser, destroyer and
submarine strength to the limita-
ton set forth in his plan. During
the period, which would be an in
definite number Of years but GER
tainly ending before expiration of
the treaty, cruiser and destroyer
strength would be combined, but the
excess above the $4,000 tons total
prescribed for Great Britain and the
United States, the 100000 tons for
Japan, in the limitation plan would
be scraped.
Safety Element Provided
The proposal, as revised just be-
fore the conference opened. contains
this proviso:
ut might be desirable to provide
for the possibility of reconsideration
in the event that requirements Of ma
ti0nal security of any contracting
power in respect of naval defense
are. in the opinion Of that power,
materially affected by any condition
of circumstances"
The clause was looked upon as
providing q safety element by which
any Of the contracting powers could
remove itself from the restrictions
of the agreement should any neigh
boring power launch a naval build
ing program of suspiciously formid-
able size. Ambassador Gibson's first
official utterance to the conference
was the reading of a message to the
delegates from President Coolidge.
Presidents Message
II am deeply gratified," the mes
sage said, that the representatives
of the British empire and of Japan
are meeting with the representatives.
of the United States to consider
measures for the further limitation
of naval ornaments through the ex-
tension of the principles Of the
Washington treaty.
IAN agreement rendering impos-
sible any form Of naval competition
between the three powers will have
a lasting influence in enenting the
present relations Of good understand
ing between the three countries and
constitute q definite step in advance
toward the common objective of a
general limitation Of ornaments.
Please assure the representatives Of
the British empire and of Japan that
am only interpreting the over
whelming sentiment of the American
people in stating. that the United
States will do its Utmost to make
such an agreement possible"
Others Share CoellAge's Hopes
Mr.. Gibson declared that the re-
plies of Great Britain and Japan to
the presidents proposal and the
presence in Geneva Of their repre-
I sentatives emphasized that they
shared Mr.. Coolidge's hopes and de-
fsires. Il

All Streams Polluted
Not Safe for Bathing
Says Health Leaders

There seems to be quite few young
people of Lexington and vicinity who
seek recreation in wading and swimming
in the streams in and near town. These
streams are all polluted and unsafe for
such purposes. Most every one likes
to dive in when in swimming and they
are sure to get some of this polluted
water in their mouths and some Of it
will be swallowed. There is possi-
bility that typhoid germs are lurking in
these streams and only waiting to be
swallowed to give some one case of
typhoid fever. Therefore all young peo-
pie who insist on going in swimming or
wading in these streams should by all
means take typhoid vaccine. This will
not give them guaranty that they
would not become infected but it will
furnish some protection.

Dennis Murphree "knocked 'em cold
Tuesday.
The Man from Calhoun made his first
and possibly his only appearance IN
Holmes county when he presented his
claims for the high office of governor
before the assembled voters.
1t was Murphree day in the truest
sense of the word. People came from
every community and every section OF
the county. Long before the scheduled
hour of the speaking, the large court
house auditorium was filled to over
flowing. Chairs were placed down the
aisles, and these were filled. The doors
and aisles were crowded, the balcony
usually reserved for negroes saw Jim
Crow laws temporarily abandoned, and
IN spite of this, constant stream OF
people mounted the stairs and returned
because they could not gain entrance IN
10 the court room.
Nor did Murphree disappoint them.
The folks who have so thoroughly
spread the report that "Murphree can't
r,ake a speech" should have been pres
.nt, for he captivated the crowd from
beginning to end with one of the most
pleasing and statesmanlike addresses
ever heard in the historic old court
room.
Mr.. Murphree started his address with
short explanatory statement of his
life history; farmer lad in Calhoun
county, tilling the hills that overlook
Schooner bottom; orphaned in early
youth by the death of his father,
devil or apprentice in a country print
shop; the years that followed, when
booklearning must needs be sacrificed
90 the earning of livelihood for the
dependant members of his family; the
early political days, when he represented
Calhoun in the legislature, winning over
some Of the strongest men in the coun-
ty. and reelected time and again with
ever increasing majorities.
He rcaffirmed his faith in the Whit
field policies, which as presiding Off
Ger in the senate he aided in formulat-
ing and enacting into law. which nave
brought peace and security and progress
20 the state. He advocated IN the
strongest terms the retention OF the
present state income tax law, which ne
presented as the fairest and most equi-
table form Of taxation; il you make
money. clear of all expenses, you pay
taxes; II you do not make money, you

Mary Ward, Former
Lexington Girl Killed
in Auto Accident

Tragedy invaded the happy family
of Rev. J. w. Ward, beloved Methodist
minister in Lexington until about three
years ago, on Monday, when his daugh-
ter, Miss Mary Ward was instantly
killed in an automobile accident, and
Miss Nell Brinsom and Rev. Ward were
painfully injured
The trio were returning from the
graduation exercises at the Mississippi
State College for Women, and were re-
turning to their home in Cleveland,
when they met another car in head-on
collision at Red Banks, nine miles from
HOLLY Springs.
Miss Brnsom and the Rev. Mr.. Ward
are in the Methodist hospital under
treatment. Miss Brinsom is suffering
from severe body injuries and will be
confined to her bed at the hospital for
several days. Mr.. Ward was only
slightly injured
Miss Ward died of internal injuries
and "a fractured skull, and death was
instantaneous. According to C. Lyle,
travelling salesman of Birmingham,
Ala, who was in the rear of the Ward
car and witnessed the tragedy, the
Ward car, going at good rate of speed,
tried to check to keep from hitting a
car crossing the road, and crashed head
en- into the approaching car. The Ward
car skidded in the loose gravel and
toppled over.
Miss Ward is well remembered by
many friends in Lexington where she
was most brilliant student of the
high school. and her tragic fate has
