RECEDE
FROM POSITION
AT CONFERENCE
Find 1t Impossible To Re-
open Washington Treaty
At Present

GENEVA, Switzerland, June % tA,'
With the British now seemingly
convinced that it is impossible to
reopen the Washington treaty, at
tbs time, without the consent OF
the United States, the delegates to
the tri-partite naval conference arc
focusing their attention on the prob
lem of cruisers. This may take on a
new angle owing to British emphasis
on the wisdom OF agreeing to a re-
duction in the caliber of the guns.
Experts are examining the FEAST
bility not only OF dividing cruisers
into classes, but also the creation OF
two categories of 10000 tons cruisers,
one. Of which would be armed with
8-inch guns, as provided by the
Washington agreement and the
other with six inch guns.
Apparently the Americans are not
pressing too hard the argument that
six inch guns could easily be installed
on. swift merchantmen, thus accord
ing Great Britain an immense SUI
periority by the conversion Of liners
into auxiliary cruisers in wartime
because such an argument might in
the long run react against Anleri-
can national interests, if the. United
States could itself decide to develop
merchant marine.
There is seemingly no intention
on the part of the American dele
cation to accept the British pro-
posal whereby future cruisers woulc
be limited to $500 tons, with SIX
inch guns. This limitation would be
contingent, under the British plan
upon an agreement concerning the
number of 1O,OOO-ton cruisers to bt
allocated to Great Britain, the

COOLIDGE KEEPS
in CLOSE TOUCH
WITH SITUATION
Receives Report of Disarm-
amenta Conference and
Honolulu Hop

RAPID CITY, S. D., June 20 H9.-
From far-away corner of the great
northwest, President Coolidge looked
out today upon world in which the
nation of which he is the head was
writing new chapters for history.
He sat in his bare and simple office
in the high school building of a town
of 5000 and heard of the successful
termination oil the Honolulu flight
and of the beginning of hazardous
trans ocean flight by Commander
Byrd, and from far-off Switzerland
came the most recent news of what
is going on at the Geneva naval arma-
ment conference which this country
sponsored.
AS the word reached him through
both press dispatches and from the
war department in Washington that
Lieutenants Maitland and Hegenberger
had arrived in Honolulu, Mr.. Coolidge
sent a cablegram of congratulations
pointing out that they had added fur
ther to the already brilliant record of
American aviation.
"Your success he cabled, furnishes
evidence of the efficiency of our air
forces"
The president also heard with hope
and interest of the beginning of Com
mander Byrd'S flight to Paris and while
these two great peacetime events were
being relayed to him he watched the
reports of progress at Geneva to bring
about whatever further assurances of
peace over war he hopes might obtain
from reduction of naval battle craft.
The president came to his office from
his mountain residence early as usual,
accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge. To-
gether they received detachment Of
cavalry ell route to Fort Meade, S. D.,
and after several hours at the executive
offices, they returned to the game
lodge for luncheon.
Mr. Coolidge did not tarry long on
the front porch, however, since he had
missed several days at Squaw creek
and soon called for Cecil Gideon, his
South Dakota guide and companion,
and the two set forth on fishing eX-
pedition. The warm spell which en-
veloped the summer White House area
the past few days had passed and the
afternoon, comfortable and slightly
cloudy, brought promise of satisfying
outing.
The White House calling list is being
augmented daily, and Mr.. Coolidge's
daily trips to Rapid City are expected
to continue There was an indication
that the next visitor would he AM
bassador Sheffield, who recently re-
turned from Mexico, and while it was
said he might arrive Friday or Satur-
day, no definite information had been
/ received.
Soon after the first of the month the
conferences with representatives of in
dustry, agriculture and commerce
which the president desires to hold
this summer are expected to begin

HONOLULU, June 80 (P)-Arriving
from the American main land in
the brilliant sunshine Of the new
day, Lieutenants Lester j. Maitland
and Albert Hegenberger of the United
States army, completed today the
first flight over the Pacific ocean
from the American mainland to
Hawaii.
No money prize was theirs. They
came unescorted, for the arrny's wei
coming planes lost them in the
murky darkness and rain of early
morning, but the received the acclaim
of the highest officers of the army
and the navy, the congratulations of
the governor of Hawaii and the
spontaneous, wholehearted applause
OF the thousands who had waited
hours in the rain to greet them.
Lieutenants Maitland and Hegen-
berger rested tonight, happy in the
accomplishment of another aviation
triumph in the progress of the world,
and proud in the possession of a
personal telegram from the president
OF the United States praising the
skill of Maitland as a pilot and of
Hegenberger as a navigator.
Prizes might have been theirs, for
| chances to win the James D. Dole
prize of $4,000 for a trans-Pacific
flight after August 70; as army men
whose duty had been fulfilled, they

Sales of stock in the tourist hotel
passed the 100000 mark yesterday to
show those who said 1T can't be done"
that it can and has been done. Sales
at noon yesterday had reached $10O, 300

The campaign to bring the hotel to
Douglas is being pushed and several
thousands of additional dollars are
expected to be reported in at today's
luncheon at the Presbyterian church
annex
The fact that within one short weeks
time rs of the city's representative
business men have sold stock totaling
more than 100000 is decided proof
that Douglas has faith in itself and
the future.
Four hundred and thirty mine people
have subscribed to the stock to make
up that amount. Convinced that the
hotel is reality for Douglas, more
and more citizens daily. are taking
advantage of the opportunity to secure
stock in the project.
This is definitely proven by the fact
that sales yesterday amounted to
$1,000, or almost $4,000 more tnan those
for the previous day. Sixty-tWo people
subscribed yesterday to make up the
$4,000.
Every citizen who refuses to take
stock in the hotel must take part Of
the blame of jeopardizing it, said
L. A. Webster, representative OF the
Hockenbury hotel system. "The
100000 mark is the turning point and
we will continue on to victory"
AS the days reports were placed on
the blackboard and totaled the assem-
blage burst into cheer as it Eqs seen
that the sales had passed the 100000
mark.
But the statesmen are not resting on
their previous accomplishments and
