DAWES RAPS ARMS FAILURE TO WALES
Powers Not Willing to Make
 Concessions, He Says

Buffalo, N. Y. Aug. s (UP)- Vice President Charles G. Dawes suggestion that perhaps the Geneva arms conference failed because none of the parties had given suf- ficient time to preparation has turn cd the dedication ceremonies held here yesterday at the international bridge, into an event which will be the center of much discussion.
 In the presence of the Prince of Wales and Prime Minister Baldwin of Great Britain and Secretary of State Kellogg Dawes suggested that in preparing for the Geneva confer ence perhaps 10th England and the tention to their own needs and prac- tically none to the problems of the other.
 Then, he said, perhaps 1t was a mistake to announce their programs SO early in the discussions, which may have led to fear of reaction at home should the programs be modi- fled.
 His frank discussion of the con- ference was in direct contrast to Prime Minister Baldwin's speech in which he made only yelled reference to Geneva, saying that while Eng land and the United States has dis agreed, there was no doubt that the two countries remained the best of friends.
 The Prince of Wales, the last speaker fthe day, expressed pleas ure at being present at the dedica- tion of a bridge connecting Canada and the United States after more than 100 years of peace and added a wish that the bridge may serve "as continual reminder to those who will use 1t and to all of us that to seek peace and pursue 1t Is tho first and the highest duty both of this generation and of those that are yet to come"
 The Prince wore formal morning clothes at the ceremonies. He came, with the prime minister, to Fort Erie by motor and then advanced to the center Of the bridge where he was presented to Vice President Dawes and Secretary Of State Kel- logg and the two parties clasped hands across the international line. Later the prince traversed the bridge with his party.
 After the dedication ceremonies the prime minister and the Prince of Wales returned to Toronto by boat and entrained at midnight for Calgary, Alberta. The American ef- ficials left for their homes during the evening.

VOW THAT
 WOMAN WON'T HANG
Charge Dreher.Leboeuf Jury
 Was ''PaCked"

Franklin, La... Aug. R-De- fense counsel for Mrs. Ada Leboeuf
 and Dr. Dreher were prepared today to fight for the clients lives on the
 grounds that the jury which convict ed them was packed" James R.
 Parkerson. chief counsel declared
 that he had obtained affidavits from
 men who swear that three of jurors
 in the trial announced that they
 would hang Mrs. Leboeuf and Dr. Dreher if they were selected for jury service. Counsel for James
 Beadle, who was given life impris-
 onment as the third member of the
 trio convicted Saturday of the slay-
 ing of James Lebouef at Morgan
 City July l had made no statement of future action.
 While the attorneys for Dreher and Mrs. Leboeuf were stubborn in
 announcing that they won't hang"
 the two defendants seemingly have
 abandoned hope.
 Showing little emotion at the read
 ing of the verdict that would send
 her to the very gallows which can be seen from her cell, Mrs. Leboeuf
 has finally collapsed under the
 weight of the realization of what the decision of the jury really means. Gone is the wan expressionless mask
 worn in the courtroom before the
 world. Violent sobs shook her
 when anyone mentioned the verdict.
 Alone with her thoughts. she gazed through the bars of her cell at the
 grim frame work from which she is
 sentenced to hang until dead. pr. Dreher too, has lost his cool impassiveness He seems to have aged ten years since he heard the jury tell him, in effect, that they did not believe his story that Beadle slew Leboeuf after the victim shot first.
 For hours this small town practi- tioner sagged in the straight hard chair that contributes to the furnish ings of his cell in St. Mary parish jail, stunned.
 Only Beadle has retained his con-
 posture.

CRITICISM OF FIREMEN
 APPROVED BY MAYOR
Weld Back From Vacation Inclined to Agree With Under-
 writers.

While he had not an opportunity to make thorough study of the re- cent report made by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, Mayor Weld who today returned to office after . vacation in the Maine woods was inclined to agree with the critl- cism made of appointments and pro- motions in the department, he de- clared.
 Several weeks prior to the filing of this criticism by national board. Mayor Weld took occasion to attack the system now in vogue, and on hls recommendation the police and fire boards are now making a survey Of merit systems used in other cities with a view to inaugurating one here. In a letter urging such a plan, Mayor Weld urged the elim- ination of politics in appointing men and in promotions to officers status.
 The national board stated that outside influences are weakening the morale and efficient operation of the fire department, and it was charged that the board makes promotions and appointments without consld- eration of the effect on the efficiency and morale of the department.

ID MAKE AVIATION
 SAFE FOR PUBLIC
15 Civilian and Commercial
 Pilots to Undergo Tests

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 8 UP)- In an effort to make aviation safe for the general public, fifteen civil ian and commercial pilots will un- dergo stiff examinations at Brainard Field here this week by the United States department of commerce. The ship of each pilot also will be in spected.
 Government Inspector Walter A. Brooke, of the aeronautical division of the department of commerce, who arrived here late last week will begin his work immediately. At present all planes operating here are privileged to fly on temporary license subject to the final examina- tion of the government. Temporary numbers will appear on the upper right and the lower left wings of the planes and on both sides of the rudders.
 Tt is our desire" Inspector Brooke told the United Press, ito so educate the public that a person taking an airplane ride will first ask the pilot for his license. Upon be- ing shown the license he will realize that the ship also is registered as no pilot can obtain a license without having a registered plane. Further safeguards make it necessary for all repair work to be done on a licensed plane to be supervised by licensed mechanic.
 The examinations given at Brain ard Field this week, which is one of the series being given all over the country, will be extremely dl1fl- cult, Brooke said. A mechanic to be licensed must be tested regard ing his knowledge of engines and hls ability to repair the structure of the plane. The pilot, however, is forced to undergo an examination in hVe subjects as we'll as physical test,
 All pilots will take the air with Brooke for a flying test. Following this the men will have a written eX- : animation in meteorology. airplane construction, engines, repairing dam age to airplanes, traffic rules and navigation.
 "If a man is able to pass this ex- animation" Brooke said, you may rest assured that it is safe to ride with him in his plane as far as we can determine"
 we are only six months old" Brooke said, referring to the aVla- ton division, but we are accom- plishing our work. It Is our job to see that every plane and pilot that carry passengers for hire or re- ward are safe to ride in. AS far as the inspectors are concerned. might say that every one is quail fled to fly any kind of ship from an lair truck" to a speed plane"
 Brooke will leave here on Thurs day for Buffalo, where he will con- | tinue his aeronautical examining.

NEWDICk 0USTED
 FROM SHOE BOARD
HaYerhil Official Removed by
 Court Order

Haverhill, Mass, Aug. g R-Re- tirement of Edwin Newdick as chair man of the Haverhill Shoe board was ordered today in decision hand ed down by Judge George A. Flynn of the superior court.
 The ruling was upon a complaint brought by the Shoe Workers Pro- tective union against Newdick in which the union contended that the chairman of the board, by his public statements, had disqualified himself and had shown that he was no long CT impartial.
 The office, as a result of the de- cision, is now vacant. Under pro- visions of the agreement in the shoe industry successor may be named within 12 days by the union presi- dent and the manager of the Man. ufacturers' association.
 MT. Newdick had served as chair
 man of the board for three and a half years. Last May in public , letter he criticized conditions in the industry, particularly certain union policies, and said he did not wish to continue as arbitrator during the next wage revision unless conditions should change. The letter was ac- cepted by the union as Mir. New dicks designation and was acknowl- edged by the union. At the time of the hearing upon the complaint last week Newdick said that when he wrote the letter he intended to re- sign but later changed his mind. In his decision today Judge Flynn held that the union was entitled to treat Mir. Newdicks' conduct as a re- fusal to act further as arbitrator and that he could not continue to act after receiving the union acknoWl- ! edgement.
