LEAGUE ARMS PACT |
APPEARS HOPELESS
Britain and France Locked
in Disagreement and ParIey
Seems Doomed.
BY HIRAM X. MODERWEII..
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright 1897.


GENEVA. April 1S.-Great Britain's
suggestion to limit the tonnage Of Sec
ondary naval craft even below the
figures envisaged by President Cool
idge's proposal hardly affects the pros
poets of the League Of Nations disar-
mament commission, which meets
again on Thursday.
The success of the commission con-
tinues to appear almost hopeless un-
less some overwhelming popular de-
mand forces the governments to re-
consider. The commissions further
labors probably will be confined to
routine and the completion of a report
to the League council stating the
points of disagreement, or at most
excogitating a verbal compromise
formula without practical meaning.
The virtual futility of the present
conference does not surprise observers
here; early in the conference it was
evident that neither France nor Eng
land would make the necessary sac
rifice on submarines. Great Britain's
chief naval strength-large battle
ships. fast cruisers and innumerable
merchantmen, capable of direct or in
direct use in war time-would crumble
before large submarine fleet, such
as France demanded, yet France felt
unable to limit her potential subma-
rine strength in such manner as to
perpetuate Great Britain's naval su-
premacy.
making concessions on secondary mat
chief efforts of both parties were di-
rected toward throwing the blame for
failure on the opposite party-by two
devices: First, by making preliminary
demands which it was certain the
other would refuse, and, second, by
making concession on secondary mat
ters to get credit for generosity. In
this game the French delegate, Paul
Boncour, easily outplayed Lord Cecil,
the British delegate. because he COM
manded the votes of many small nom
naval nations.
Great Britain's latest suggestion is
seen here as further move in this
game-offering to limit the tonnage of
secondary craft if others (France) will
limit submarine tonnage to short
range or defensive" size.

THRONG At Opening
OF SNYDER trial
AmpIifierS Aid 120 Reporter!
as First Group Fails in
Jury Quest.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 1S.-With Court
house Square thronged by spectator
jostling for passing glance at thu
principal characters in the lates
scene OF this sordid drama. the Snyder
murder trial opened today for selec
ton of jury.
Two-thirds Of the courtroom wal
filled with the 120 reporters covering
the trial. The remaining seats were
occupied by the talesmen from which
IL men will be selected to decide
whether Henry Judd Gray and Mrs
Ruth Snyder are guilty of the murder
of the woman's husband.
On either side of the room grea'
amplifiers. horns such as were uset
on the earlier talking machines
sprayed the words spoken at th'
front of the room down upon the
press tables.
The voices were carried to the loud
speakers from two microphones, one
set in front of the witness box anc
front of the jury box
First Loud speaker" Trial.
The ampliacation of court proceed
ings was ordered by Justice Town
send Scudder. presiding, because OF
faulty acoustics in the high, sky
lighted courtroom. 1t marked the
first loud speaker" trial in the his
tory of the State.
The defendants entered at 1910
o'clock, Mrs. Snyder following Gray.
Both seemed composed. Mrs. Snyder.
dressed in mourning. was accompa-
MED by her mother.
The jury box was then filled with
12 men to be questioned as to their
fitness.
The talesmen were questioned by
groups of II. In the first group, four
raised their hands when asked by
District Attorney Richard Newcombs
of they objected to the death penalty.
They were excused and left the room.
Another talesman was excused when
he said he came from Michigan. where
there is no death penalty and could
not approve of it.
Others Deny Prejudice.
The rest said they had formed no
sympathy for either Of the defendants
and would convict a woman as readily
as a man If convinced she was guilty.
Edgar f. Hazelton, chief counsel
for Mrs. Snyder, then questioned the
seven men left in the box. Hazelton
asked whether the talesmen had read
newspaper stories about the killing
and whether those stories would affect
their judging the issues impartially.
They all said they had read Of the
case. but would not be effected.
They also said that they would not
hold it against" Mrs. Snyder If she
did not take the stand in her own de-
fense. They said that they understood
that no one could be convicted solely
on the uncorroborated evidence of an
accomplice.
They said that if it were shown Mrs.
Snyder's confession to police was not
freely offered, they would dismiss it
from their minds in arriving at
verdict
Hazelton then indicated that he
would try to show his client was
forced into completely in the murdre
by Gray. One hour and half after
the trial opened. the case was right
back where it started.
Under a triple barrage of objet
tions. the challenges and question.
the first 12 talesmen to be called
to the box melted away until all We're
gone. The jury box was then refiAed
from the waiting talesmen and the
process was begun all over.

zoo sTERs WITH JOY.
Children and Animals Enter Into
Gladstone Spring Spirit.

Lost children and articles will be
taken to the lion house" say the
guiding signs along the foot paths of
the Zoo today.
Accordingly Investigations were
made bright and early in and about
the lion house, not only for the sake
of saying good morning to the king
of beasts, but to find the lost children,
if any.
Children We're romping the rolling
greensward below the lion house, hun
dreds of them, motley. joyous
throng, but none of them seemed lost,
and they weren't straying very far.
They were rolling Easter eggs of
vivid hue down the verdant slopes of
the park and chasing after them, skip
ping and rolling with unrestrained
glee. Little groups, each with their
brightly colored eggs and picnic bas-
kets, some with their parents, some
with nurses, and some alone, all equal
ly unconcerned, except when the roar
of the tiger cubs distracted their at
tention, romped about with the happy
go-lucky abandon of youth.
Pink eggs, blue eggs, eggs tinted
scarlet and gold rippled down the bank
like an Illuminated waterfall, the
little girls and boys scampering agilely
after. Streams of children wound along
the paths toward the grassy hill, stop
ping now and then to chat with a
squirrel friend, or to MUNICH a sand
wich. Especial excitement was caused
whenever an egg shell cracked on its
journey down hill.
Bears Wrestling Match.
The inhabitants of the Zoo seemed
to sense the spirit of the day, for
they were early astir and on their
best frolicsome behavior. The Alas
kan bear cubs were demanding a great
deal of attention. They were engaged
in wrestling match, trying to throw
one another into their swimming pool.
The European mother bear was brows-
ing about with a new addition of three
to her family. She has had IS chill
dren altogether.
The silver gulls were busy con-
graduating young couple, whose
nest was augmented yesterday with
two baby gulls. And so it went.
Spring was in the air and the sun
shone on man and beast with uncon-

brief inspection of the fete. Scaffolding
and other construction paraphernalia
on the south balcony of the Executive
Mansion prevented Mr.. and Mrs. Cool
idge from entertaining cabinet chill
dren there. as had been their custom
in the past.
During her walk about the grounds,
Mrs. Coolidge laughed and chatted
with MANY of the --oungSters who
pressed close enough to claim the
privilege. Mrs. Coolidge was particu-
lar attracted to a basket held by a
girl of 10, and exclaimed her delight
at the beautiful large chocolate egg
it contained and over the huge purple
bow with which its handle was be-
decked.
Abashed Little Girl.
'What a wonderful egg that is,
she remarked. why don't you eat
it?"
The abashed little girl smiled. and
without answering pulled aside to
comply with the suggestion about eat.
ing it.
For the final few hundred feet of
her walk Mrs. Coolidge held the hand
of a tiny golden-haired girl about 4
or years of age. She deliberately
slowed down her gait to enable the
wide-eyed child to keep pace with the
party.
Mrs Coolidge was dressed in light
green coat suit, and she wore a rakish
hat of brown straw, with upturned
brim. An artificial green flower at
her right shoulder was the special OBJ
iective of Rebecca's claws, but the
flower bore up wonderfully under the
attacks.
Rebecca Reluctantly Poses.
Rebecca posed very unwillingly, at
the insistence of her owner, but the
battery of cameras clicked away mer-
rily, nevertheless. At the request of
the photographers, Mrs. Coolidge left
the crowds and posed for the camera
men.
On his way to lunch. the President
went over to the White House proper
and appeared for a few moments on
the cluttered balcony. Few persons
in the grounds seemed to be aware
of his visit, however, and there was
little demonstration.
1t was regarded as probable that
he would return with Mrs. Coolidge
in time, perhaps. for the concert by
the Marine Band, which was sched-
uled to begin at $3.50 o'clock. The
gates will be thrown wide open to the
public at that time, to close again
an hour later. in token of the end

WINTER LITTERS OFTEN
OPEN WAY TO PROFITS

In an address on Swine Feeders
Day at University Farm, Andrew
Boss, vice-director of the Minnesota
Extension Station, said that hog pro-
duction could well be made to con-
tribute about one-fifth of the income
on the average Minnesota farm. Year
in and year out the swine herd can
be counted upon for revenue which
lifts mortgages and pays other debts
and is a reliable factor in the farm
business plan.
Farmers wishing to build a well
balanced farm program, with reven-
ue coming regularly, will find that
hogs can be used to advantage in CIV
ing employment to labor not other
wise used" he said. while it is true
that hogs take relatively little labor
in comparison with other stock, they
do require some labor even in the
summer time. In an intensive farm
business the raising of winter litters
may give considerable employment in
a season of the year when the labor
of the farmer or of his family is not
fully employed. With equipment suit
ed to winter production and with the
advantage of cheaper feeds at that
season of the year, the profits from
the farm business can often be ma
terially increased by reasonable pro-
duction during the winter"
Two hundred bona fide farmers at
tended the exercises of the day and
inspected the stock used in the ex-
periments, the breeding animals, and
the show barrows. Twenty-Five
farmers came from Winona county to-
spend the day at University Farm.

CREAMERY INSTALLS
400 GALLON CHURN

The Springfield FARMERS Creamery
Company has installed brand new
Cherry Dreadnaught churn and but
ter worker at cost Of $1,000. The
new churn has capacity OF 400 gal
Ions of cream or about 1,400 pounds
of butter, which is about third
greater capacity than the old churn
which has now been discarded. The
new churn is from the Cherry fac
tory at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In the
purchase of the new churn the cream
cry board anticipated the needs Of
the future and provided sufficient ca
pacity to take care of the future
growth of the local creamery, which
is steadily increasing its business.
Springfield farmers find that there
is no branch of farming that pays
better than producing cream for the
home creamery and the demand for
good dairy cows is reflected in the
high prices paid at recent farm sales.
