LIMITATION
MEET OPENS
Ambassador Hugh Gibson
Opens Conference Called
by Pres. Coolidge
NEW PLAN is OFFERED
Would Reduce Tonnage Of
Cruisers, Destroyers and
Submarines
NEW PLAN IS OFFERED

Geneva. June 2O.---lP)-Extension
of the 5-5-3 principle of naval
strength to cruisers, destroyers and
submarines, of the United States,
Great Britain and Japan was pro-
posed today to the three power naval
limitation conference by the Ameri-
can delegation.
Opening the conference called by
President Coolidge, Ambassador Hugh
Gibson, the chairman. proposed that
cruisers be limited to tonnage of
250,OOO or 100000 for the United
States and Great Britain and TO
10000 or 10000 for Japan.
DestrOyers total tonnage would be
restricted to 100000 or. 25O,OOO tons
for the two large powers and to
10000 to 10000 for Japan. Maxi
mum tonnage for American and
British submarines would be 10000
to 10000 with $4,000 to $4,000 fixed
for Japan.
u. s. Wants Low Tonnage
Gibson presented his proposal
after Il brief address in which he
presented an expression Of gratitude
to the powers from President Cool
idge and declared that "the United
States is prepared to accept a gem
eral program providing for as low
total tonnage as acceptable to the
other powers"
He expressed regret that France
and Italy were not active partici-
pants in the conference and urged
Japan and Great Britain, who, with
the United States, are the powers
which now lead in naval arma-
ments," to assume call responsibility
for initiating further naval limita-
ton IF we were not prepared to
limit" he said, 'we could not ex-
pect others to do so."
1t was understood that under the
Gibson proposal the United States
would be obliged to scrap appr0xi-
mately $4,000 tons Of cruisers and
destroyers, mostly to the latter class.
and 10000 tons additional upon COM
pletion Of cruisers now building.
Would Scrap Old Ships
Old ships, virtually obsolete, Of
which the American navy has many,
. should be scrapped to make room
for the new ones. Under the plan,
| it was expected that Great Britain,
if she completes her present building
program, would scrap approximately
$4,000 tons of cruisers AID Japan
| 40 200 tons.
While neither Japan nor Great
Britain would be required to scrap
submarines under the proposal, the
United States would have excess of
about 1900 tons of submersibles to
be scrapped. 80
unue. tue Gibson proposal, the
10000 ton maximum weight for
cruisers, fixed in the Washington
treaty in 1921, would be accepted
with armament not exceeding eight
inch guns. Destroyers would be de-
fined rs not exceeding 5000 tons
and of speed greater than II knots.
Other auxiliary ships Of limited
combatant value would be grouped in
| a fourth class, whose restrictions
would be subject to future agree
| ment.
The American plan, if adopted by
the powers, would be conterminous
with the Washington treaty which
runs until 1886 and thereafter for q

UNSHAKEN DESPITE HER ARREST FOR
ALLEGED PLOT TO KILL RELATIVES
Parent Furnishes $1,000 Bail
Required TO Give Woman
Her Liberty Pending Trial
Claims Plot, Is Frame
Up'-Daughter Says Maid
Conceived the Idea

New Brunswick, N. j., June 2O.--(A)
The faith Of George +. Morse, 81,
wealthy retired farmer, in his 40
year-old daughter, Bessie, To-Day re-
mained unshaken despite her arrest
on charge Of conspiracy to kill
three members Of her sisters family.
Miss Morse was freed on bail Of
$1,000, furnished by her father after
her arrest Saturday by detectives who
had posed as gunmen in perfecting an
alleged death plot with her maid,
Mamie Todd. a negress. The maid,
who is q years Old, had been with
the Morse family for Is years, having
been taken from protectory in
Philadelphia.
Change in Plans
Authorities said the conspiracy was
originally directed against the father
and mother but was later centered
against Miss Morse's sister. Mrs.
Grace Dey. her husband Elmer,l and
their son Robert. Officials said the
first plan was abandoned because of
the death of Mrs. Morse two months
ago and because the daughter felt
her father would not live much
longer.
The police believe that Miss Morse
feared her fathers estate. estimated
at more than 100000, would be left
to her sister and brother-in-law.
Morse characterized the alleged
plot as a frame up" pure and SIM
pie. II do not believe my daughter
entertained any idea of plotting to
kill me or my daughter Grace and ner
husband. The whole affair comes
from the mind Of the maid"
Maid Blamed
1T is utterly Ridiculous said the
accused woman. 1.-The story must
have come from the imagination of
my maid" Miss = Morse appeared
perfectly composed as she faced re.
porters.
I'VE are in the dark-its miracu-
lous that we escaped death if this
story is true" said Dey. I'VE have
always felt quite friendly toward
Bessie. We simply cannot under.
stand it,"
The Morse farm is in Prospect
Plains, l5 miles outside of New
Brunswick The Deys live on an ad
joining farm.
Authorities said they received tht
first inkling Of the scheme when ;
negro workman on the Morse farm
reported the maid had offered him ;
large sum Of money to kill Mr.. anc
Mrs. Morse. Detectives said the.
were paid 5000 by the maid as first
installment on $4,000 which the!
were to receive for the killings. The
officers said that after her arres
she told them she had acted on thu
request Of Miss Morse. They sale
they had been investigating tn,
maids story the last two weeks.
Is Held Without Bail
The maid was arrested Frida!
when, authorities said, she rode will
the supposed gunmen to spot wher'
the Dey automobile was to have beer
bombed Saturday night while tn
family was en- route to New Bruins
wick. The maid is being held with
out bail.
