GENEVA, June pa con-
crete proposal designed to
eliminate the last vestige Of
naval competition between the
great powers was laid before
the Geneva arms conference to-
day by the American delega-
ton.
Would Extend $3.50 Ratio
The American program, boiled
down, was that the 5-5-3 ratio
of capital ship strength established
at the Washington conference six
years ago be extended to cover
all remaining classes of fighting
craft. This program was given
by Hugh Gibson, head of the
United States delegation.
Gibson's proposals were inn
mediately followed by British and
| Japanese suggestions.
British Suggestion
Great Britain suggested an IL
point program centering about q re-
auction in the tonnage and arma-
ment of capital ships.
| Japan proposed that there be no
maximum limit for the tonnage OF
individual vessels.
Gibson Gives Message
In opening the conference, Min
lister Gibson presented the delegates
with a message from President
Coolidge, in which he expressed his
qualification over the assembly OF
the three powers.
IAN agreement rendering impos-
sible any form of naval COMPETE
ton between the three powers will
have a lasting influence in cement

ments," said the Presidents greet.

SAVES HIS
LIFE

The story Of near panic at.
meeting of scientists at the
National Geological Park here,
and of the saving of the life
of Prof. Maurice Kerby Brady
through the use of a package
of anti-venin, a new snake
bite serum, was revealed today
when Prof. Brady returned to
his classes at George Washing
ton University, fully recovered
from the bite of an European
sand viper.
Used In Brazil Jungles
The Vivareum Society, an organ
ization of scientists, met last
Thursday night at the headquar-
tiers of DIR. William M. Mann,
primarily for the discussion of
anti-venin, the first shipment of
which had just been received in
Washington. Members were told
of the development of the serum
in Brazil for use as an anti
toxin against the bite of poisonous
snakes. 1t had been successfully
used in Texas, one member re-
ported.
Brady Tried the Capture
More than 200 members of the
society were present. At the con-
clusiOn of the lecture, a member.
brought in a crate to exhibit the
first European sandpipe received
here. 1t was from Dalmatia.
The member, knowing the viper
to be deadly, handled the crate
gingerly and in his excitement
allowed one of the snakes to pop
out. CONSERVATION followed as the
deadly reptile flashed under chairs
| and about the room more frightened
/ than the scientists.

seemed to have no wish to retake
[ the prize. whereupon Prof. Brady,

Willimantic, Feb. 11.-lP-When a witness said to be member of the local post of the Salvation army failed to appear against three men and two women arrested after liquor raids by county and city police a week ago in court today counsel for the defendants asked for an acquit- tai. The arrests had been on charges of sales of liquor to the man now missing, Adelbert Miner, on January 26, although In the raids no liquor was found except a trifling quantity of home brew in the homes of the women.
 Miner left town Tuesday and told acquaintances he had been trans ferred to Boston and would not be back for a year and half. He had claimed to have bought liquor from John w. Soccer, Casper Vegard, George Morin, Jr., Mrs. Lamarche and Emma Henry.
 Chief of Police Thomas r. Grady told Judge Foss that he would like to get Miner back to find out if he made the complaint in good faith, and so it was agreed to continue the case until next Thursday and if the witness is not on hand the defend ants shall be discharged.
 Local Salvation army officers de- nied that Miner was with them and also claimed the Salvation Army does not go out to find opportunities to bring complaints.

SECRECY SHROUDS STATE DEPARTMENT
All Officials and EnplOyes
 Under Orders

Washington, Feb. Il (UP)-The state department has been blanketed with secrecy regulations unknown since war days.
 President Coolidges new disarma- ment proposal message was so close ly guarded that even high White House and state department officials denied its existence apparently even they were not in on the secret.
 Investigation today revealed that the new secrecy rules extend from the office of Secretary Kellogg down to the humblest clerks waste basket.
 The contents of all waste baskets are destroyed late every afternoon by special functionaries, before the cleaning force arrives.
 stenographers' note books must be locked in drawers when not in actual use.
 All telegrams are centered In a few rooms. locked in special cases, with an official present every minute of the day.
 Papers carried from one office to another within the building must be enclosed in envelopes, and important documents signed for on receipt by one official from another.
 Two reasons were understood to be behind the new regulations which have been steadily frightened during the last three months:
 1-Nicaraguan and Chinese poli- lcies have involved warship and troop movements. and acts under some criticism in this country and abroad. That applies also to the Mexican sit nation, involving consideration of possible removal of this govern ,ment's arms embargo. In connection with the disarmament proposal, it was feared that any advance infor- nation might work to the advantage of foreign opponents of the move. 2-There have been two alleged f'leaks" in the department recently. | An employe was discharged after investigation of report from an American ambassador abroad that a foreign government was securing confidential department information even before he received it.
 Another employe was dismissed on department charges that he secured and used improperly advance copies of examination questions for en- france into the American diplomatic Service.
 The press has been connected In no way with improper leaks, 1t was said.
