compromise between the divergent
British and American viewpoints.
The conference began work today,
through it's technical committee, on
the question of destroyer limitation,
with the question of cruisers, which
the committee took up yesterday, still
In abeyance.
The British proposal to the commit.
tee that cruisers be divided into two
classes, one of 10000 tons. with s.
inch guns, and the other of $500 tons
with 6-inch guns, finds the American
representatives non.committal, which
Is interpreted as meaning they are un.
favorably disposed toward it. The
Japanese, though indicating they
might be willing to reduce the mum.
ber and size of cruisers in years to
come. manifested reluctance to de-
scend from to inch guns.
In the opinion of American experts
1t will require at least two days tC
thrash out the cruiser problem to the
satisfaction of the United States
Meanwhile the technical committee
will discuss other forms of auxiliary
craft.

TOXIC EXPECTS AGREEMENT.
Optimism Expressed Despite Di-
vergence of Viewpoints.

TOXIC, June 29 P.-Notwithstand
ing the present apparent differing
views of the three delegations at the
Geneva naval limitation conference,
there is general optimism here that an
agreement among the powers will
finally be reached. The reaction to
the conference Of the vernacular news.
papers and the public, however, has
been somewhat apathetic.
Both the foreig notice and the navy
department have expressed hope and
belief that the differences will be
ironed out, although it is expected to
require some time. The Navy Depart
ment has reiterated it's sincere desire
for an agreement on auxiliary war
vessels, the primary object of the con-
ference, and has indicated willingness
to discuss capital ships as a conces-
sion through which such an agree
ment could be reached sooner.
Not Opposed to Discussion.
One spokesman of the department
said he did not object to the confer
ence discussing capital ships when the
question of auxiliary war vessels was
disposed of. 1t also is understood
there would be no objection to re-
ducing the tonnage Of capital ships.
Admiral Saito, head of the Japanese
delegation at Geneva, is known to be
constantly in communication with the
navy department.; therefore. it is con.
sidered likely that new instructions
may be forthcoming at any time.
Held Not Harmful.
Some of the vernacular newspapers
give it as their view that discussion
of capital ships after an agreement is
reached on ;.uXiliary ships would not
be harmful and might assist in clear
ing up the situation for settlement at
a future conference.
The Chuo says editorially that the
British proposal to reopen the ques.
ton of capital ships surprised Japan
and America, and that America OBJ
tects with good reason. But, 1t adds,
"the proposed limitation of tonnage
and gun caliber, even if the age limit
is rejected, will prove beneficial to
America and Japan"

i. S. VIEW OF DRY
CANADA ASSA|LED
Judge ]. W. Thompson Tells
w. c. T. u. Session of
"Actual" Conditions.

Americas popular understanding OF
| the operation of the Canadian liquor
| laws were branded entirely false and
| mistaken" by Judge j. w. Thompson,
| formerly of Indiana, now Of Washing.
ton, in an address today before the
quarterly convention of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, at the
Lincoln Road Methodist Episcopal
Church, First and u streets north
east.
Directing his remarks particularly
at DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler and
former Senator Wadsworth, Judge
Thompson declared that the contention
that Sunday is bone-dry in Canada is
incorrect because for four hours on
that day Canadian laws permit the
sale of intoXicants in restaurants and
other places in which meals are serv-
ed The idea that 1.-The abominable
treating system has been abolished -
was condemned by the speaker, who
said "the law itself says a man may
buy liquor for himself and his guests
at these places"
Substitute For Saloons.
Judgs Thompson declared also that
while it is claimed by the supporters
of the present Canadian liquor laws
that the saloon is no more. 'taverns"
in which liquor is sold to persons
who drink at the tables rather than
at the old-fashioned bar, have been
substituted. These taverns, he said,
often are operated on the same site
as the old saloons and generally by
the old saloon keepers themselves.
At the convention the reports of
the various officers were given and
Mrs. II. e. Rogers, corresponding
secretary, reported that $50 new men,
bers had been enlisted in the union
since its April convention. Mrs. N.
NJ. Pollock, president, presided as
chairman and other reports were
given by Mrs. George A. Ross, treas
urer; Mrs. Isabella w. Parks, chair
man of the auditing committee, and
Mrs. Theresa A. Williams, president
Of the board of trustees: who gave
also the report of Mrs. Eva c. Girls
well, treasurer of the board, was was
absent.
Welcome to Convention.
Rev. Clarence II. Corkran, pastor
of the Lincoln Road NJ. E. Church.
welcomed the convention. He paid
tribute to women as incentives to
better accomplishments and urged
them to carry on with their work of
prohibition.
Miss Irene Umberger in her re-
sponse to the address of welcome
urged more fervent work of the
union and said. I'VE can agitate, we
can legislate. but we can also coop
crate with this good pastor in the
work we have undertaken"
This afternoon, following the con.
vention luncheon, the session will con.
tinue, with young people telling of
their work. Several musical numbers
will be on the program. including
Miss Vesta Pollock, pianist; Mrs. T.
J. MacSpeiden. vocalist, and Master
Richard Carlton Davis.
The program committee included
Mrs. w. II. Howard. Mrs. D. J.
Wrightsman, Mrs. r. T. Stout, Miss
Rebecca Rhoades and Mrs. Alvin

town. Mountains tumbling into the
sea straddled by grotesque, dwarfed
| evergreenS; complete tea-set group
of toylike houses among the rocks;
pebbly beach. Ashen, dripping skies
curtained in this corner of the coast
The name of the place was Kushi'
moto, and, like many another isolated
station on the world flight, it was on
| the front pages of the home papers
| for few days and then forgotten by
every one except its 800 inhabitants.

| two or three tourists who had walked
over the mountains from the railway
| so miles inland, but not to the men
| who waited on the beach that rainy
June day when the flyers were max
| ing the hop down the coast from
Kasumigaura, the naval airport OF
| Toxic.
"Thev we're to stop overnight at
| this desolate spot and refuel for the
| next dash to the southeastern tip OF
Japan.

said one Of the Japanese. Two planes
which had been planning to come up
from Osaka had been prevented by
the treacherous weather.
But They Did Come.
But they did come, popping sud
denly out of the leaden sky seaWard.
the sound of their motors drowned
bv the storm. Unerringly they had
hit the designated rendezvous after a
flight down an irregular coastline.
with poor visibility all the way and
rain during the last hundred miles.
| The three ships twice circled around
the edge of the bay, then ahghted
singly, plowing up great curtain
of spray. After tussle to prevent
them from being driven on the beach,
they were moored safely IN the most
sheltered part of the bay. 1t amazed
the Japanese naval officers. To the
American flyers, who had conquered
dozen greater dangers in crossing the
Bering Sea a few weeks earlier. 1t was
only another obstacle overcome; to
the Japanese airmen. who had believed
such an attempt fatal under such con-
ditions, 1t was miracle.
But Just a year after the Ameri-
can world flight reached Kushimoto,
June 2, 1924, one of the Japanese Off

swer? The planes that could come

FARM BILL VETO
AROUSE FARMERS
OF MIDDLE WEST
Cal Is Losing Supper
tiers to IOwden

CHICAGO-(FP)-The middle west
is aflame with anger over President
Coolidge's veto of the McNary-Hau-
gen farm relief bill, which had passed
both houses Of congress and had been
Endorsed by farm organizations and
by public sentiment in general in
the agricultural states. The old sec
tional feeling against the tariff-pro-
tected eastern seaboard, where finan-
cial capital is concentrated and where
the policies of the national govern
ment are set against labor and the
farmer, is once more at fever heat.
Newspapers ordinarily pro-Coo-
lidge are busy launching the presi-
dental boom of former Governor
Frank Lowden of Illinois, who poses
as farm supporter though he is
chiefly known as the son-in-law of
the Pullman millions and as repub-
lican politician and lawyer. His lieu
tenants attempted in 1920 to buy
delegates for him to the national
convention that finally nominated
warren harding.
No Hope To Farmers.
Nowhere in his long veto mes
sage did Coolidge give the farmers
any hope beyond that cautiously ex-
pressed in his message to congress
OF Dec. s, when he cynically said:
while the government is not to be
blamed for failure to perform the
impossible, the agricultural regions
are entitled to know that they have
its constant solicitude and sympa-
thy"
Speaking for the joint interests
represented ilf the Farmer-Labor ex-
change, manager c. F. Low1ie says
Of the Coolidge veto message: "The
permanently handicap the farmer as
against the protected position of the
big eastern industrial corporations
and finance"

Bill for LOngshOremen
Be Compensated When
Hurt, Killed, by Sponsor

WASHINGTON (FP). - Chairman
Graham of the House Judiciary Com
mittee has waited for the closing days
of the session to fatally knife his own
measurable longshoremen's indus
trial accident compensation bill.
The House Rules Committee mad
ordered Chairman Smell to report out
a rule that would bring the bill to a
vote in the house. 1t had already
passed the senate. Hostile amend
ments had been dropped. Then Rep.
Froe of California, leading anti-labor
republican, announced that he would
offer on the floor an amendment re-
storing the seamen to the group af-
fccted by the bill. This was hos
tile move, as the seamen protest
against being brought into the meas
IRE. Graham then notified Smell that
he need not report the rule--thereby
preventing action on the bill in this
congress.
Protests to Graham from the iegis
lative council Of the labor unions al
the capital was in vain. His treachery
is not yet explained, by his Ions
record Of hostility to humane legisla
ton. The unions induced him to spon
sor this bill in the hope that thereby
his opposition would be avoided.
