Washington. July 26 Pt-A heavy
mortality among radio broadcasting
stations after August Is was predict
ed today by the federal radio COM
mission.
Commissioners who have returned
to Washington for series of meet
ings have decided that the elimina-
ton of a considerable number of
broadcasters is going to be auto
matically brought about by condi-
tons which they have had under
observation for several weeks
"On June Is, the commission out
lined q new ALLEGATION of broadcast
ing waves for the use of all stations,
and gave them 60 day permits to
operate on the new schedules" Com
missioner Bellows explained. "Since
that date, the operations of all sta
tons have been under check by the
commission and by the commerce
department radio inspection service
A very large number of the stations
have not been holding to their pro-
per wave length and during the
first few weeks of the new schedule
it was the commissions disposition
10 be patient with the operators.
Will Give Warming
However. the commission has de-
cided to begin notifying broadcasters
on August I. when their stations are
off the proper wave in their sending
and If such stations have not cor
rected the departure by August Is,
we shall refuse to renew the sta
tons license to operate and the
owners of such stations make them
selves liable to a $1,000 fine and
Imprisonment if they do not close
down.
II believe that considerable
number of stations are going to be
caught by the new policy. Our re-
ports indicate that a considerable
group of\.ven the largest stations
has been n1f their wave length per-
sistently during recent weeks.
Further, when the commission
renews licenses August Is it will be
only LOT Il oo uaS peflou Slice IT. is
our intention to keep control Of the
broadcasting situation.
The places of the stations that
may be dropped under the ruling
will not be filled by the issuance OF
permits TO new stations. The reduce
ton in the number of broadcasting
establishments will all operate to i'm
prove radio service and reduce con-
gestion and interference. The COM
mission is going to continue refusing
licenses for the establishment of new
stations and under most conditions
will refuse to allow the sale of radio
stations"

Willimantic. Conn. July &c P1
The city's night police force went
wild cat hunting carly today but
failed to get the animal. One officer
took a couple of pot shots at Q pair
of "fiery eyes" but daylight failed
to show that he had made a hit.
Leon Miamandi, night operator at
a garage was going TO work at 2 a.
m. when in crossing the Whitman
tic river bridge he saw the limb
of tree near the entrance bent I'M
der weight of an animal about
three feet long. A pair OF fiery
eyes" cleaned at him and he took
to his legs when the cat dropped to
the ground. Miamandi burst into
a night lunch nearly exhausted from
a quarter mile run. The police sta

CONFERENCE DELAY
Ask When Brid8eman and
Cecil Will Return
WANT NO SECRET TERMS
Would Prefer Treaty Openly Specify
just What Is Allowed-British
Cabinet Appears to Be Divided in
Opinion.
WANT NO SECRET TERMS

Geneva, Switzerland, July rs up
The American delegation to the
tri-partite naval conference sent a
letter to the British delegation today
asking for information as to when
w. c. Bridgeman, chief of the Brit
ish delegation and Earl Cecil, who
are now in London, are expected to
return to Geneva to resume the con-
ference.
1t appears that Mr.. Bridgeman
informed Hugh S. Gibson, chief OF
the American delegation, before de-
parting for London early last week
that he expected to start back
on Sunday last, but since then no
word has been received here from
the British.
All Anxiously Waiting.
In the meantime the British and
japanese delegations in Geneva
have remained expectantly at their
desks and it is understood that the
American secretary Of state. Frank
B. Kellogg. is remaining in Wash
ington to keep in touch with the sit
uation.
The impression prevails in confer
ence circles that there may be some
division OF opinion within the Brit
ish cabinet and that this IL the chief
reason for the delay In the return
of the British plenipotentiaries.
Domini0ns Worried.
An unconfirmed report has been
received in Geneva that some Of the
British dominions becoming anxious
over possible rupture of the con-
ference. have urged Great Britain
not to be apprehensive over details
Of the American building program
on the contention that everybody
realizes that war between the United
States and Great Britain can be con-
sidered as very remote possibility.
This reported dominion attitude
is an allusion to the fact that the
American delegates are insisting
upon the right to build secondary
cruisers capa BILE Of mounting a bat
terry Of s-inch guns II, they are
obliged to restrict the number of
their 1o.ooo-ton cruisers to above
twelve. The Az erican delegat on
takes the view that long distance
communications and convoy duty
render cruisers limited to 6-inch
guns useless as a defense against
more powerfully armed warshiI 8
which theoretically might be en-
countered.
Terms Are Outlined.
From all appearances, the Ameri-
can delegation is determined not to
accept a treaty which it feels would
seek to conceal right to maintain
obsolete warships and grant a big
total tonnage without appearing to
do so. 1t is believed that this mat
ter may be arranged by openly CIV
ing the signatories authority to keep
so many thousand tons of obsolete
warcraft for coastal defense and
convoy duty until che time comes
for their replacement, but only un-
til then.
Mr.. Gibson has received numer-
GUS letters from Americans. chiefly
women residents in Cleveland and
Chicago and also Georgia and Flori-
da, urging him to stand for real
limitation of naval ornaments and
not to return, as one woman put it.,
with foolish document"

Stories Also Cleared Up.
There also were unusual stories
about Mrs. Stillman cutting of the
credit of the Wilson's and ordering
them from the house in La Tuque
which they now occupy. But late
last night Mrs. Wilson. surrounded
by two Of her children, John. mar

little younger than Lena, sat in

by the Stillmans, and occupied by

uncertainties.

BRITAIN
TO WIN PARLEY
French See Victory for John
IS Bull at Geneva.

BB United Press
PARIS, July 23.-Regardless of
the final outcome of the naval dis
armaments conference at Geneva,
French official circles today saw
Great Britain as the real winner of
the three-cornered diplomatic en-
gagement.
AS the French viewed it, II the
conference were wrecked through
the inability of the conferees to
reach a compromise agreement, the
stigma would rest on the United
States with possible unfavorable re-
action to President Coolidge's pres
tige, especially abroad Great Brit
ain, on the other hand, would be
able to take the attitude that it did
its best to advance disarmament.
Regardless of the outcome, Great
Britain is almost certain to leave
the conference with a Japanese rap
prochement again firmly estab-
lished.
The French believe the British
delegates had proved to be the best
traders; that they had maneuvered
the American delegates into such a
position that it would be possible
for the British to make slight con-
cessions to enable the American
delegates to save their faces, yet
giving Britain very definite domi-
nation Of the seas.

CHAMbERLIN TO
HOP FROM DOAT
Sea-and-Air Trip to Europe
May Be Offered Soon.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Combi-
nation sea and air trips to Europe,
designed especially for emergency
use, were seen as probability here
today with the announcement by
Chairman t. v. O'Connor of the
Shipping Board, that Clarence D.
Chamberlin is planning to hop off
from the Leviathan in mid-ocean
for Europe.
Chamberlin plans to take his
plane on the Leviathan when she
leaves on her next trip, Aug. l. If
weather is favorable he then may
hop off in mid-ocean, carrying a
load of mail and probably two pas
sengerS.
An experiment will be made by
Chamberun next week on the Levi
athan as she proceeds from Boston
to New York.
1t is presumed that catapult,
such as battleships carry, Will be
used to launch the plane.
If Chamberlin is successful, he
will be a pioneer in what may be
a very important field of CONNER
cial aviation. Combined ship and
plane trips would be particularly
valuable for business men on hurry
trips, and for mail.

Commission Won't Enforce
Order to VaCate.

Because it Is planned to repair
the Marion County detention home,
225 E. Michigan St., in compliance
with orders of the state fire mar
shal's office, within a few days,
county commissioners will not en-
force their recent resolution in which
they ordered premises vacated If re-
pairs were not made by July Il, 1t
was learned today.
After a long delay, Commissioner S
Cassius L. Hogle and Charles o. SUIT
ton issued the order. asserting that
if a fire escape was not erected on
the building and other inside re-
pairs made, the home would be
moved. To-Day is the second day
after the deadline, but no action has
been taken.
Cash M. Graham, chief inspector
of the State fire marshal's Office said
"the matter will be worked out
soon."
He said Glenn Ralston, who holds
the lease on the property, informed
him Friday afternoon repairs will be
completed at once.
The fire marshaps Office recon-
mended changing location of the fire
escape from the rear to the alley
side of the structure, which will be
carried out.

Developments, according to
the Daily News are these:
Bud yesterday motored from the
Stillman camp at Grande Anse to
La Tuque, where the Wilson's live,
gave his consent to marriage by a
Catholic priest, obtained Mrs. Will
sons formal agreemnet to the mar
riage, put Lena in his car and fed
home to Grand Anse with her.
Order Them From Home
Mrs. Stillman ordered the Wilson's
to vacate che cottage they occupy
at La Tuque, which she owns.
She ordered merchants thereabout
not to extend credit to the Wilson's
on her account.
She announced that none Of the
Wilson family could attend the
wedding Tuesday afternoon at the
Stillman home.
"If the Wilson's think they can
make laughing stock of Bud along
the river, by having him Tilted by
a girl in the locality, I'll make a
laughing stock out of them in La
Tuque," Mrs. Stillman was quoted as
saying.
Changes Wedding Plans
This development necessitated I'M
portant changes in the wedding
plans. Lena's sister was to have
been a bridesmaid. Mrs. Stillman,
the story said. had brought gown
for her to Grand Anse and now she
is looking for a substitute brides
maid whom the dress will fit.
In the meantime, Bud Stillman
was reported supremely happy N
the thought that on Tuesday le
would marry the little backwoods
girl, who some five years ago came
to the Stillman home to work in
the kitchen.
Lena is the daughter of a typical
Quebec woods family. They had
place adjoining the Stillmans' and
when adversely came their way,
Lena went to work at the Stillman
camp.
Became Buds Playmate
There she became the youthful
playmate OF Bud. They patrolled
the creeks and woods together and
now Bud, the son of the wealthy
and well-known Stillman family, is
about to take this girl from the
backwoods of Quebec, as his bride.
Mrs. Stillman approves heartily Of
the marriage, and stands ready to
sponsor Lena in any company-or,
apparently, to fight valiantly against
anyone who would come between her
son and his love.

WAIT ON ARMITAGE
Hearing for New Trial to Be
Held Next September.

Hearing on motion for a new
trial for James Arnitage, brother
of William H. Armitage, local pol
itician, who was sentenced to ninety
days in Jail and fined $500 for con-
tempt of Criminal Court has been
postponed until next Saturday. 1t
had been set for this morning.
This was done because of the ill
ness of Armitage and Prosecutor
William H. Remy, who has been
confined to his home with a slight
attack of appendicitis.
Armitage was charged with at
tempting to bribe Claude Achey,
member of a former grand jury, to
refuse to vote for indictment of
Mayor Duvall.
He is spending several weeks at
Letters Ford, nine miles north of
Rochester where he and William
Armftage have cottage.
DR.. B. B. Pettijohn and DR.
Samuel E. carp, Armitage's physi-
clans, declared that to confine Arm
itage now would endanger his life
inasmuch as he has suffered four
attacks of paralysis.

QUIZ RADICALS AGAIN
Fuller Expected to Continue
His Probe at Prison.

BOSTON, July 23.-Nicola Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, in the
seventh day of their hunger strike
at Charlestown State Prison, were
expected to be visited again today
by Governor Alvan T. Fuller, in
whose hands rests their fate.
Unless the Governor intercedes,
the internationally -konwn radicals
will die in the electric chair next
month. They were convicted of
charges of numbering a paymaster
and his guard at South Braintree
more than seven years ago.
Food still failed to tempt the
prisoners at breakfast time today as
they neared the end Of the first
week of their fast, presumably be-
gun as protest against the secrecy
of the State executives inquiry.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Prices on
the New York Stock Exchange
moved in a confused manner in
early dealings of today's halliday
session.
Tremendous activity In Chrysler
Motors was the feature OF the gen.
eral list. The opening transactions,
involving 10000 shares, were con-
summated at SIS, up 9s.
General Motors played another
queer prank. For the first twelve
minutes of the session, no "GM" ap-
peared on the tape, but when 1t did,
it showed slump Of IN at 214A.
u. S. Steel opened at 1858, off u,
and maintained this quotation for
the first half hour or so.
Rails displayed a better tone than
in the previous session. Southern
Railway gained Il at 1924, while
M, K. 81 T. was in good demand at
511s, up %. Baltimore & Ohio
showed a gain of u to 116A at the
opening but it fluctuated in mar
row range. New York Central was
steady.
Oils held steady on the basis of
reports from the Seminole area Of
Oklahoma which, indicated a de-
crease in crude production.
Easy money has been the principal
influence in the recent buoyancy on
the stock exchange, but gains in
standard stocks were also recognized
as predictions of quickening business
activity with the approach of au-
tumn.
That these forecasts are finding
