FRENCH CABINET TO DISCUSS


PARIS, Feb. IL up President
Coolidge's new naval disarmament
proposal will be discussed by the
French cabinet at its regular week
ly meeting tomorrow, after which
the first official comment may be
Forthcoming.
Thus far, the only comment in
authorized quarters is that the Amer
lean plan, as now understood, runs
counter to the program of this
French government.
The best informed newspaper COM
ment indicates that the decision OF
the government will be either frank
ly unfavorable or will be surround
cd with so many precautionary con-
diticns as hardly to fit in with the
scheme outlined in President Cool
idge's memorandum. A semi-official
statement given out this evening re.
garding the condition of the French
navy indicates that it is consider
ably below the maximum quotas fix
ed at Washington for capital ships
and airplan ecarriers.

 Degree, Jury Rules

Mineola, N r., Feb. IS HS - Thankful that he escaped death in the electric chair, Harold r. Web ster is awaiting sentence Monday on the second degree murder verdict re- turned against him for the killing of his mother-in-law, Mrs Catherine Galloway.
 The jury returned it's verdict early today after nearly eight hours de- liberation. "You are very lucky man, Webster" said Judge Lewis J. Smith.
 The cringing and trembling that had betrayed his anxiety while the jury deliberated vanished as Web- ster's chest heaved in relief when the verdict was announced. Yes. sir, I aon." he answered to the court.
 The sentence for second degree murder may be imprisonment from 20 years to life.
 Webster yesterday told the story of the killNg. Mrs. Galloway was clubbed to death in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dell c. Bassett, of Hampstead January 3.
 Webster testified he asked Mrs. Galloway to refrain from alleged slanderous talk about himself and his mother and to give her permis- sion to allow Mrs. Blanche Galloway Webster to accompany him to Florida. Mrs. Galloway cursed at him, he said, and struck him as he started upstairs to see his baby They fought and Mrs. Galloway fell under blows of an iron bar wrapped in paper.
 The prisoner said he had told his wife he had s5,O0o on the day of the killing, but In reality he had only s1.75. This was to reassure Mrs. Galloway. he said, and influence her to permit him and his wife to go to Florida.
 Webster. repudiated by his wife who previously testified that her love for him had turned to hate, yester- day heard his lawyers characterize him as "a weakling shielded by his mother all his life, jellyfish who finally exploded when he faced the less of the only thing in life that meant anything, his wife and his child" The killing was not done In reconciliation. the lawyer said, "and the fair verdict against him is first degree manslaughter."

LONE WOMAN IN
 SENSATIONAL RAID
Armed With Pistol, She Arrests
 Three MoonShinerS

Paulsboro, N. J., Feb. l 8 R}-Mies Edith Batten, stenographer to Sheriff John B. Station, of Gloucester county. and the county's only wom- an deputy sheriff. craving excitement yesterday, raided an apparently va- cant house here and at the point of a pistol arrested three alleged boot leggers and seized 200 gallons of whskey.
 Tt was thrilling and I want to make some more raids" said Miss Batten, after her prisoners, James Fender of Paulsboro, his son, John. and third man, were safely on their. way to Woodbury for a hearing be- fore Supreme Court Commissioner J. E Avis.
 The honor of being the first wom- an to conduct raid in the county was brushed aside with a deprecatory gesture by Miss Batten who said she really enjoyed it-every minute of it."
 "Oh. just felt as good as any man with that revolver in my hand" she continued, and. furthermore, I realized the raid was serious busi- ness and was prepared to shoot if they resisted, and of course John was with me-"
 The John to whom she referred was John Sharp, veteran deputy, but he insisted 1t was Miss Batten's raid. The house raided. according to Sharp, had long been suspected of not being as vacant as it appeared to the casual observer. Yesterday afternoon there was rumor of &C., tivtty at the house, and as the sheriff and all the other deputies were at court, Miss Batten insisted that she be given chance to go on and raid the place.
 We arrived just in time." Miss Batten explained. There was . truck backed up to the door as If someone was going to move out of the vacant house. Luckily the door was unlocked so we drew our re- vol>-ers and walked in. My, but they were surprised"
 The whiskey seized was in nve- gallon cans, and was being prepared for shipment, Miss Batten said.
