AMERICANS FIRM
Reports From Geneva Are That L.. $. Stands Pat On Policy of Arm ing Cruisers With s Inch Guns.

Geneva, July 22 R-The Ameri- can delegation to the tripartite naval conference remains adamant in up- holding the right to build cruisers armed with eight-inch guns, accord ing to information in reliable quar- ters here today.
 Furthermore, it is understood that in taking this stand in defense of American naval requirements the delegates advocate cruisers large enough to carry a battery of six S-inch guns instead of merely one or two. Naval experts here estimate that a cruiser carrying six 8-inch guns should have a displacement of $500 tons
 British delegates have been in aisting on limiting secondary cruis- CTS of 6,000 tons with no guns larg- CT than six-inch caliber. Should the British delegates return from their present visit to London with a man. date from their government to up- hold this demand, it is feared in some conference circles that definite breaking off of negotiations might ensue.
 Belief is expressed here that the British government has been fore warned that the American delegates are determined, whatever may be the outcome, to insist upon the lib- erty 10 construct whatever type of cruiser the United States may deem essential for her naval needs.

GANGSTER SURRENDERS
 AFTER ELM CITY FIGHT
PenQne Gives Self Up-Nictim of Assault is in Serious
 Condition.

New Haven, July 2c R.-Fred- erick Penque, 22, alias Fred NJ. Page. said to be a gangster, has surren- dered to police who were seeking the men who. after a fight yesterday left Hubert Seaberg, 25, on the sidewalk with a fractured skull. Fred Linn auero, 20, had been previously ar rested.
 Penque was held under s5,000 bonds on a breach of peace charge, and will be questioned by Coroner Eli Mix. Seaberg is reported in criti cal condition at the New Haven hos pital.
 According to the story which po- lice say the two under arrest tell, Seaberg had been drinking with them, became intoxicated and start ed a fight when his companions re- fused to buy him more liquor. Linn auero is said to have had no active part in the fight other than to sep crate his companions when Penque was getting the better of Seaberg. The latter followed them. however. and then, it is alleged, Penque knocked him down and pummelled him, causing the skull fracture.
 Penque was in public notice few months ago when Josephine Forcier de Maio, after a quarrel, shot at him. She was given a suspended sen tence at that time.

Official Bulletin on
 Automobile Lighting

Hartford July 22-Lighting equip ment for motor vehicles and ifs proper use in Connecticut provide subjects for many questions regular ly asked the state motor vehicle de- partment and to give complies iu-. formation considerable space has been devoted to 'equipment and ac- cessories' in the June department bulletin.
 All cars, except those with spe- cial permit, must be equipped with headlight devices on the approved list the bulletin says. "Twenty- one candle power is the maximum for any electric lamp or bulb in such devices"
 The use of accessory lighting ap- pliances in combination with ap- proved devices is discouraged. be- cause it is believed that there are enough efficient approved devices to meet all needs if they are properly used. The present attitude of the department. however, is that access sorry devices may be used by motor iStS upon their own responsibility, provided they do not conflict with the legal requirements.
 "Connecticut has no approved list of tail and signal lights" the bullc- tin continues. but any such light which complies with the Massa : chusetts requirements will be satis- factory here. It is required that when tail lights are lighted, they shall, in addition to showing red to the rear, also sufficiently illuminate rear number plates with a white light to make them legible at dis tance of 50 feet. Number plates, both front and rear, must be kept clean, unohscured by any other part of the equipment and should be fastened to the vehicle in such q way as not to swing and so that the lower edges of the plates shall be at least 14 inches from the ground"

CRUDE OIL AREAS
 TOO PRODUCTIVE Curtalment Ordered Because Of
 Market Conditions

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 22 R With daily output of nearly half million barrels of oil--slightly less than one-fifth of the national total threatening an already weakened crude market, operators in the com paratively new greater Seminole field today faced an ultmatum from the state corporation commission 10 cease completions in the larger pools.
 The commission intervened in the curtailment program, started by leading operators at meeting in New York last spring in an effort 10 bolster crude prices, when it issued a temporary restraining order last night prohibiting drilling in or shooting wells in certain sections of the field. The commission is en- powered to act in cases involving petroleum conservation. The order was made returnable August 5, when operators will be invited to attend a hearing in an effort to break the deadlock on development of the Seminole Field.
 Ray NJ. Collins appointed last May as umpire to supervise the curtail ment project recommended comple ton of the 450 wells then being drilled, but advocated limitation of production on scale intended to balance the output from the hold ings of the various companies.
 Collins yesterday appealed to the corporation commission to exercise It's auth ority. he declared that unless some action was taken, further re- auctions of from 25 to 50 cents a barrel would result.
 Prices yesterday ranged from s1.22 to s1.0 a barrel.
